Corn or Maize

Morning everyone,

I have another stupid question, after the net melons.

I had already backup my net melons, to 4 more containers.

Did another try Corn or Maize in containers? What is the best size of container for this cultivar - American Sweet Corn F-1 Hybrid.

Do you prune the plant?

Regards,

Urban Gardener

I grow my sweet corn in 2 litter bottles. Right now I have 100 stalks growing in a 3'x6' space.

the problem with corn is that you need a lot of corn plants to get propper polination.

georgeiii has the right idea if he can keep them from blowing over when they get tall.

no pruning is required.
