How to Grow Corn (NON-GMO) in SIP Self-Watering Containers (wicking totes) -Urban Garden Style!

How can you grow huge ears of corn in containers in a small space? We finally harvested our first batch of non-GMO sweet corn for this growing season! Some people are surprised to hear that you can grow corn in containers. I was able to grow 11 plants of F1 hybrid corn in each 30 gallon SIP tote. Since these are self-watering or sub-irrigated, it was very easy to keep them watered!

This is a perfect example of high density urban gardening. I chose 3 different sweet corn varieties using staggered or successive plantings. This will give me multiple harvests throughout the growing season.

TAKE BACK CONTROL: We are relinquishing our control of our food to corporations that care only about making money. We are deferring to their judgement which focuses on chemical controls within a monocultural framework. Is that really what humanity needs to survive? Haven't we learned the dangers of relying on monocultures for food production?

SUPPORT LOCAL GROWERS: As soon as people begin to accept personal responsibility for their food production, the issue of GMOs evaporates. For that fundamental reason alone, I would never support genetic engineering of crops! I support seed-saving efforts. Preservation of polycultural farming is where resiliency occurs. Conventional breeding programs offer more promise than we may realize. We need more people growing their own food.
