 Welcome to getting clean on the prairies. Today, I'm just going to do a quick video on planting up some peaches and cream corn that I started here from seed in some egg cartons. They've been in here about two weeks, I believe, and I think I'm going to go put them in the ground just to get them going and I'm going to put them under straw here in this area. This is my potato patch over here and I'm just going to plant them kind of in this area here. It gets, I think, enough sunlight during the day. The garden shed does kind of cause some shade here in the early morning, but I'm hoping there's enough sunlight for them to grow here and we're going to put them under straw and see how that goes. So I've raked back all the straw here in this area and as you can see, there's some nice dark soil down here. So this straw has been breaking down and decomposing into the soil and I think it'll be nice for planting this corn. So I'm going to separate these egg cartons and just plant them two by two. So there'll be two rows of five going down this area here. So I think I might just spread out a little bit of compost and maybe some worm castings here before we put them in the ground. Okay, so I just spread it around some of my sifted compost and some worm castings and I also added a sprinkling of bone meal. So I've got these torn apart in the egg cartons here, so I'm going to try and place them in here and gently cover them up with a little bit of straw and hopefully they can take off. The roots should break through these egg cartons. They're pretty saturated and you can see that there already is some roots kind of breaking through the bottom here, so they should be able to take off. I didn't actually look up what the actual spacing should be for the corn, but I'm going to try to just space them out a foot apart. Last year I planted corn in containers, large tubs, and they were pretty close to each other. They worked out really good. The only thing is at the end of the season when I was trying to clean out the tubs, they're really hard to get out. The roots are pretty massive, so this year I'll just go straight into the earth and see what happens. So as you can see here, I'm not actually burying the seedling too deep into the soil. I'm going to just set it in the dirt and surround it by straw and kind of keep it covered following the Ruth Stout method. Okay, so I have my ten corn seedlings in the straw here now. You can hardly see them, but I have put a good thick layer around them just to try and control the quack grass, because as soon as you expose the soil the quack grass just comes back very fast. So I will just keep kind of watching these seedlings, give them a little light so they can take off and then continue to mulch around them with straw as they grow. So this is how I plant corn under straw in my garden. So if you want to find out how this corn makes out, please don't forget to subscribe.
