/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Corporate welfare subsidies to big agri/chemical. It can keep fat, dumb and happy what the overlords view as livestock in a pen (the middle and lower classes). It's convenient that it's HFCS petroleum derived extracts can be added to literal pig food (aka fast food) to make it taste better.

Having said that, I grow sweet corn in my garden because an ear immediately picked and steamed or roasted touches oden.

*I even have enough room to grow some sweet corn. Let me tell you, if you have the room for it sweet corn is well worth it because it severely degrades in even 1 day so fresh picked and cooked immediately is completely different from store bought even in season. We grow most of our own veg since we have 3 growing seasons.

>root rot, nutrient deficiencies

That shit's on you dude. Build your soil with compost and manure. Don't overwater. Practise crop rotation. Give fish sauce and seaweed sprays when the plants are young. You fucked up, and yes it's fairly easy to plant seeds in good earth and get good results.

>Gf won't let me do anything to get rid of them

When I have really tenacious rabbit souls that get through my barrier they end up in the pot. This year I've live trapped 2 'coons and 2 possums that climb over any barrier and attacked my melons and fucking destroyed a beautiful batch of corn. I hunt deer, but I'll be damned if I'm going to shoot a trapped animal.

Protip: Those fuckers are vicious. Use thick leather gloves when handling the live traps. They reach a long way through the cage wire with their paws.

Sweet corn.
