We always get a wealth of common sense technique from our seniors! We should listen to them more! Thank you! 🌷

Corn sock... I’ll give it a try, thanks mate

[@christina7774]

Great will try this out 👍😁

That would all probably work very good but too expensive to do on a large volume field

The sock technique maybe best used by home gardeners.

How long can you keep the sock on the cob?

[@mgsantaclara]

After pollination you can put on the sock. When the ear is ready for harvest, remove the sock and pick the ear.
