Tips to reduce water requirements

We recommend mulching the beds
Experience has shown that by covering the ground, e.g. with Hay or straw, which can reduce evaporation by 80%. If you keep the beds evenly moist, an optimal moist microclimate will be created under the mulch. This not only promotes the growth of the plants, but also reduces water consumption enormously.

It is also recommended to always keep the beds moist , even if the bed is not used for a certain period of time
The drying out of the soil leads to a huge decline in the micro- and macro-organisms in the soil, which over time leads to an infertile soil . Tests have shown that the water content in the entire bed remains longer when the entire bed is watered over a longer period of time than when it is only watered selectively. Due to the small volume of the poured areas in contrast to the large dry volume, they dry out more quickly than if the entire volume of the bed is filled with moisture. Similar to heating in an apartment.

If the beds are not in use, we recommend sowing with green manure.

Maintaining an energy level always requires less energy than having to reach it again and again.

The sweet corn 'Stowell's Evergreen' is an ancient annual and historic variety of corn dating back to 1845 and originally from Vermont, USA. The little-known and robust variety is worth rediscovering thanks to its stable cultivation and the characteristic creamy white grains. The mid-early and drought-stumbling plants form 2 very large cobs with well-coiled and fully occupied grains. The taste is sweet and strong, with the typical aroma and bite of a traditional sweet corn variety.

Subtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g. B. Portugal, Spain, Italy)
Sow directly outdoors from February to March.

Moderate climate (e. g. B. Germany, Switzerland, Poland)
Sow directly outdoors from April to May. We recommend pre-cultivation from March in pots without pecking. The plants are ready for planting when they appear stable or have reached a height of 30 cm.

General
Sow or plant corn seedlings in rows or blocks. In order to later close isolated gaps due to the natural germination power, we recommend simultaneous sowing in individual pots (9x9x9cm). We advise block sowing, as the plants thrive better than in unprotected rows. As a wind pollinator, setting in blocks also improves pollination.
Corn prefers a fully sunny and sheltered location with a nutrient-rich, deep, loamy and humus soil. Prepare the soil for corn with deposited animal manure.

Additional tips
In order to quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and well-drained soil, an additional incorporation of biochar and primeval rock flour is recommended.

Type of propagation
Spread occurs via seeds.

Care Plants
Corn plants can do without water for a few days, although they should not dry out too much. During long periods of heat, additional water is useful. M It animal manure prepared beds and planting in mixed culture, replaces additional fertilization.

Germination ability of seeds: 5-6 years
