Awe Little Farmers (S3): Planting Corn

Hey little farmers, it’s a good day to plant corn in your backyard. We plant in containers to overcome the challenge of farmland in the urban cities.

Today we will be planting corn in your plant pot or bucket. Note that this method can be followed on land also.

Tools needed includes:

• A plant pot or a 20liters paint bucket (create 4-5 drainage)
• Maize seeds (preferably corns that are short in nature)
• Loamy Soil
• Fertilizer
• Water

To plant your corn, you will pour your soil into the bucket or the pot, mix in your fertilizer. Make a 1inch hole in four comers of your container, add your seeds and cover up with soil and water.

Make sure to set your plant where it can receive up to 6 hours to 8 hours of sun per day and water day and evening. You should have fresh corns in 2-3months.
