Cultivated sweetcorn
 

I cultivated my first 8 rows out of 32 of sweetcorn today. The first 8 rows were only tall enough to cultivate as my other rows I staggered out by weeks when I planted so its not all ready at same time.

Sweeeeeeet!!!!

What cultivator are you using?

Its a Gilson cultivator. I got it outta my uncles weed patch 4 years ago and stripped it down. Primer, paint, new guage wheels and new sweeps are what I got in it. Just needed some tlc and restored. It does a good job cultivating especially when I got cultivator free!:beerchug:

Finished first 8 rows.

Awesome pics! :beerchug:

Thanks, I try to get best action shots of my cubs working, lol:beerchug:

That is a nice setup you have there.:beerchug:

Awesome, nothing better than your own sweet corn. Yummy!

NIK,

Nice job.

That is awesome man. What kind of sweetcorn do you plant and what do you do with it? Roadside sell?

Great pics!:beer2:

Thanks guys! I plant ambrosia sweetcorn and I do sell it along a busy road. It does very well on selling and I also cut it up for my family to freeze. Nothing better than sweetcorn off the cob during winter. :beerchug:

Awesome action pics, Jerry!

Is the purpose of cultivating to keep weeds from coming up?

Yes it keeps the rows clean of weeds and loosens the soil around corn for root growth.:beerchug:

Looks awesome with the dual wheels!

Looks good.:beer2:

VERY COOL Set up!! I like it!! How about some more detailed pictures of your cultivator now??? :beer2: :beerchug:

We'll since these pics were taken I've got a cat 0 Brinly cultivator now. I still have the Gilson cultivator but I use the Brinly more often now.
