Corn Stalks

Now is the time to eat and freeze all that corn. But when you have finished with the corn, take the stalks out of the garden, it will prevent any corn bugs from burrowing in the ground and spoiling next year's plants. You can do at least 3 things with the stalks, give them to cows, horses or pigs is one idea. Second you can gather them in a pile, tie them and use them for a fall decoration, or third, you can take them to the dump, but please do not compost them. I like to use mine for decorations in my yard. Remember where you planted them this year and do not plant next year's crop in the same place. I know milk cow farmers do, but they also treat the soil for the bugs, I don't, as I farm organically. This year I planted Vision F1 from Johnny"s Seeds and everyone I shared corn with loved it!
