Harvesting corn
WHY grow Corn? Because:
• it is easy to grow and it makes a perfect addition to any garden.
• the right varieties can be grown in small spaces, in blocks, on raised beds or in
containers once properly pollinated .
• 20 - 25 plants will allow for adequate pollination (from wind) and formation of grains
on the corn cob.
• it grows well in almost any soil type but performs best in loose and crumbly fertile
soil.
• it is a good source of carbohydrates, vitamins (B1, B5, C, and E), phosphorus,
magnesium, iron, zinc and fibre.
