If you notice your corn browning, it is likely a nutrient deficiency. Try adding a boost of fertilizer. Corn also needs a consistent supply of water, and is a heavy drinker. They prefer to be in a self watering container. 

Try buying transplants from your local nursery for a quick start! 

The biggest reason most gardens fail... is water.

LifeSpace Gardens overcome this challenge by emulating the water tables found in all the most abundant natural environments. This technique is know as sub-irrigation and creates the ideal growing conditions for long term sustainability, convenience and growing success.

  • Save more than 80% of the water consumed by traditional techniques

  • Reduce maintenance from daily to weekly - or less

  • Improve yields and grow healthier plants

    Our patented food safe Self-Watering System will also:

    • Sequester Rain Water

    • Help you overcome droughts

    • Remove the guess work around watering

    • Eliminate mess and offer drainage control

    • Add 2-3x the lifespan to you garden by protecting it from rot

     

     

     

    LifeSpace Wood Finishes

    LifeSpace Gardens Guarantee

    Your LifeSpace Garden is crafted out of Western Red Cedar, harvested from the forests of British Columbia. The natural characteristics and high oil content of this beautiful wood makes it ideal to use outside and withstand the seasonal elements. Cedar, like all natural materials, will season uniquely and accrue it own natural patina and character over time. Small cracks, silvering, knot holes and weathering are all part of this natural process. However, with proper care, your garden can last a lifetime.

    The LifeSpace Guarantee takes this natural process to mind. The wood will age, but the craftsmanship will remain. We guarantee the structural integrity of your LifeSpace Garden & the functioning of your GardenWell sub-irrigation system.

    how do i grow corn

    Make sure the soil temperature is dependably 65 F (18C) before planting your seeds.

    Pre-soak your seeds over night, then directly sow outdoors 1-2 inches deep.  Water the soil and consider covers with black cloth to warm the soil and keep birds from eating the kernels!  The seeds will sprout in 5-10 days of warm weather. If you live in somewhere with a short growing season you'll need to either start your seeds indoors or sow in early summer as soon as the weather gets warmer.

    harvesting

    Harvest your corn when the silks turn brown, are dry, and the ear feels full.  The corn will be ready to harvest three weeks after silks appear.  You can push a thumbnail into a kernel to test if the corn is ready, if it is ready milky liquid should squirt out.  

    When your corn is ready to harvest, hold the stalk firmly and snap the ear downward then up.  Use the corn as soon as you pick it as it can get starchy within hours.

    Helpful Tips and Tricks

    You can interplant a fast growing crop like lettuce between your corn to get more out of your space. Corn is one of the “three sisters” (corn, beans, squash) corn's role is to support the growth of the beans by providing a trellis.
