What kind of corn? If you've seen the root system of corn it's huge and will
do terrible if confined. Widespread farming has made corn and soybeans
prime targets of opportunity for pests, you may need to find solutions to
this.


I think corn would fit nicely in one hole of a 16X8X8 concrete block. Next
year will experiment with corn and soybeans inside concrete block.

Perhaps I should try potatoes inside the holes of concrete block. Set a row
of block all touching and set it straight and then plant a potato eye in each
hole and all summer long mow down the edge of the row of concrete block.
And then deposit the grass clippings along that row. But I think potatoes
would start to shoot out from their confined hole. I may have to get bigger
block for potatoes. I have my asparagus inside the holes of concrete block
and sometimes if they annoy me enough I will stake them for the mower
sake.
