Believe it or not I am growing corn in a 20 lbs grow bag. I put about six plants in each bag. So far the corn is three feet tall. Dark green and lots of broad leaves. I can’t wait until harvest. I want to see if I was successful.

Thanks for this very helpful video. It's concise, yet loaded. I'm new to gardening, just this year trying out a few things. Your great video gave me plenty of ideas to try out next Spring. Cheers!
Hello! I have a couple questions about this option. I own a fairly large back yard, but I'm new to gardening and don't want to install large garden beds until im confident in my skills. I have a few large flower pots that currently are not in use. Can I use them to start small? If so, what kind of soil do use in the pots and where do I find it? Lastly, should I drill holes in the pots for drainage? The pots are circular in shape and about 2.5 feet tall. Anything else you recommend to get me started? Thanks!
