Mulching Corn with corn crop residue

Sweet corn fresh from the garden is one of the best things one can grow. We love it so much that I grow three corn crops every spring/summer in order to provide continuous supply of garden-fresh corn all summer.

Corn generates a good amount of organic residue. What to do with it?

I use the residue from the first crop of corn to mulch the rows of the second and third corps of corn and so on.


Shown here is the first corn crop residue mulching the second corn crop...
