Grandpa's Sweet Corn

Summer '96 was the best sweet corn year for my grandpa. That is when i learned what makes the best sweet corn it is water, ammonia, and nitrogen. How did he discover this well that was the summer my grandfather decided to plant the sweet corn along the septic tank lines. It worked and made the sweetest corn I and he ever had.

Him saying it means a whole lot more since he just passed away last December at the age of 88. So the advice I got to pass along is maybe try planting the corn along the lines you might be surprised of it.

Hoping to try it again someday but can't yet. As my Grandpa said take care of the corn with every flush and see the beauty of green corn for life.
