corn

[Guest guest]

Laura, corn can be good. I harvested my second crop this year and did not use

any

fertilizer (I do use compost). I have a new mill (hand cranked) and we made the

most

fabulous corn bread with our own blue corn! I interplant pole beans for

nitrogen fixing

and also plant beans in between (and add compost). I do not use any chemical

fertilizer,

or pesticides, and we are feeding ourselves quite well, at least the fruit and

veggie part. I

use heirloom corn though, none of that hybrid stuff for me. I am already

planning my

next 3 sister garden for early spring.

Roseta (in Los Angeles, where not too many other folks grow corn....LOL)
