🌽 Cornses 🌽 update 2020: Garden or Mini farm? The kids are involved

- čas přidán 11. 05. 2020
- Growing edible corn 🌽 it’s something I’ve been trying to do for years. We consulted our elders and truly feel like this year might be the year. Also we’re trying to figure out where the line between garden and mini farm is. What are your thoughts on that?
Random person to kids: "Why does your dad keep saying "cornses"?"
Kids: "I don't know. It makes him happy, just roll with it."
Nothing is more adorable than a grown adult trying to talk like a 4 year old.
Random person to dad: "Why is your son driving a "tractor"?"
Dad: "I don't know. It makes him happy, just roll with it."
:)
@@davemarm no bro, its creepy and pathetic. I like destins videos though, but its pathetic there is no way around that.
In this thread: people who have never watched Lord of the Rings and can't spot a casual Gollum reference
Here in this chat room, id like to ask something please people.
Does any body listen to country music. Please recommend me a country song.
Thanks the internet room for chat!
“They’re running tractors now” is the ultimate parenting goal
how old is that kid? is it legal for his age to drive a tractor? I must admit I’m shocked by the sight, but the fact that he’s putting this out in a yt video to the public confuses me even more because that indicates it’s fine and legal for kids to drive a tractor? what?
It would be fine by me to have a kid like that drive it with supervision on flat ground but I wouldn't want him to drive very close by people like he does do here. Although he probably knows what he's doing and has some experience with it by now.
@nobodyelse09 Okay, but the question still stands. Is it Legal for a 12ish yeah old to operate a tractor or what restrictions are there?
@@rudresh10000 There's a big difference between operating a tractor in a field where it's needed and there're no other motor vehicles, and on a road. I suspect most of the regulations pertain to road use.
@@alans1816 as far as i know its like that in germany, i drove the an tractor on the a farm when i was somthing like 7? as long as you stay of public space it should be fine.
Hey Destin! Just wanted to let you know that corn is pollinated best when grown in blocks. If you only have a few rows of corn the ears won't develop well. Because the crop is wind pollinated you need enough corn upwind of the rest of the block no matter which direction the wind is blowing. In rows, unless the wind is exactly parallel to your rows the pollen will blow away uselessly! If you have had trouble with corn in the past, that might be why
or you can cut the tops of several stalks of corn and "slap the cr*p" out of the tops of the other cornses...BE the wind!!
If you pause the video and look at the cornses package, they also suggest planting in blocks for better pollination.
At least 3 rows wide, spaced a foot apart with 3 seeds to a hole.
Just off memory.
Sadly where I live now I can only have a few raised bed plots, so not enough to grow corn. Get some good mators and peppers though.
My family had a lot of success with a 6ftx6ft raised bed that way. They were planted closer together than recommended but that gave us corn every night for several weeks to a month.
I was literally about to type this
If you fall asleep planting corn and worst case scenario, you get a sunburn, its gardening. (^.^)
If you fall asleep planting corn and worst case scenario you run over your sister, its farming (0.0)
If they happen at the same time it's farming.
Lmao
Skin cancer from UV tho
For some reason, I couldn't stop smiling while watching you explain your gardening. Thank you for this ;)
My manses relationship with his kidses is the bestses.
You betses!
Destin, Cornses need friendses. Have rows that are 30 inches apart. For your property, at least 5 rows that are at least 15 feet in length. Blocks of corn will encourage growth and pollination. Great job with the soil chemistry.
Last video: Let's talk about rocket engines in this rocket factory!
Today: Cornses :)
I love this channel
Sounds like Alabama
Yeah, pretty much sums up how I feel too.
looks as the opposite of smarter every day
If you have to use a tractor, that's a farm
Mireaze I dunno... have you seen some of the equipment people use to mow their lawns?
@@frozenflames5263If it's not a farm, it's an estate.
@@Mireaze if it's a farm it's a tax write off!! if it's an estate it's no tax write off!! Always make it a farm!
It’s a big boy garden
A Smarter Every Day about soil chemistry and growth cycles and plant biology would be neat. Maybe make it a whole series? Smarter Every Day: Farming? 👍 if you agree!
i hope when this is done you invite michael from vsauce over to eat cornses on the cobses.
...or will he?
(mysterious music starts playing)
I definitely want to see that!
So lucky to have all this open space available to you during lockdown! Keep up the good work!
This is too wholesome... I love it!
From launching pad and Rockets...to Cornses, A true family man! Never missed his single video.
Love from india.🇮🇳
Wow, how those children have grown! I would ask what you feed'em but that is, I guess, the point of the video.
He feeds them Hello Fresh, obviously.
Unfortunately, I predict another bad year of "cornses" for you Destin. With only planting a few rows you are going to get terrible pollination. You would be better with more short rows than fewer long rows. Also, at 4 to 5 inch seed spacing, with narrow row spacing, you have a very high population. Seed depth is also a consideration 1.5 to 2.5 inches is typically preferred, but that is also determined by your moisture level at that depth. Deeper if drier but typically not less than 1.5 inches even in wetter soil conditions.
Might be a silly question, but why does pollination matter if the seeds are planted anyway? Is it to do with a mix of (I don't know the terminology) male/female plants pollinating to provide the edible part of the plant?
@@LuckieLordie Pollination determines how well the cob of corn is filled with kernels.
Wow. What an awesome thing to do with your kids. I wish more people did this. That's such an awesome bonding thing for your family.
I really enjoyed this video. I grew up in a 'tobacco farmer family' in KY. Then I moved to Alabama, just outside of Huntsville, like yourself, where (my family at least) only grew corn every 3 years. You're a great teacher, and a great leader.
Dude when you're driving your tractor to plant stuff, it no longer qualifies as a "garden". That's a mini farm for sure.
or its a super mega overkill for the garden because you had always dreamt of owning a tractor.
So I know i dont know you but you've shared your family with us and I just wanna say thank you. I feel like you have involved them just enough to allow them to be part without embarrassing them. That being said....THEY ARE STINKING HUGE!!!!! AND AND AND!!!!
DRIVING A TRACTOR!!!!! BOSS!!!
Good luck on the Cornses! I hope its a crop big enough to be a blessing!
Excellent! This is what we all will have to do when it begins to have problems of lack of food.
Those are some cornses-fed kids! I can't believe they've grown up so much! Man, where does the time go? Great job Destin...you're raisin' them right!
Great job being a positive role model (aka. Being a Dad). A parent isn’t doing their job, if they are not preparing their children to become strong and independent individuals who can care for themselves and others.
Wow, Destin! 2:46 your hat is down to the last 2 notches. No wonder you need to learn every day. Got to fill that thing! Love you man, keep up the great work.
Might wanna consider planting the corn in squares, 20x20 or 40x40(feet) as opposed to one or two long rows for optimal pollination😬
I love how really you guys are!
Thanks Destin!
Awesome stuff brother! We are still working on our cornses too lol. Green beans, squash, and cucumbers do very well here in NC. We are adding sweet peas this year, and they are out growing everything so far 😁. Praying God watches over you and yours brother!!
Beautiful family you make parenting look easy . Good on you
My family and I doing the farming/gardening with buckwheat and Montana wheat on the property in Colorado. Along with some cold season root veggies and lots of potatoes. It is certainly neat to see another family on the farming endeavour. Praying for planting wisdom for those corn, and your family. Shalom.
Ooooo nice... science and art! He is a man of many talents.
ouf, your kids are grown ups now! caring for plants, running tracktors! time flies man! keep it up! cheers!
I’ve never been good about being aware of the passage of time, but those kids look like they’re growing EXPONENTIALLY! 😮
It's the mammoth and bodacious food
I am proud of you for being proud of them. Good dadding sir.
This is exactly what I needed today. Please keep us updated.
Kids are getting so grown up. Cherish the moments.
2:40 that mammoth's trunk looks a bit weird
Oh...
Ok, it wasn't just me
Looks kind of like Snuffelupagus to me.
You typically want to plant several rows of corn near each other. It provides a better chance of of having full ears of corn instead of half empty ears of corn.
Gardening is awesome. Corn grows like weeds here in Ca, wishing you a good growing season.
I've frequently wondered how you're cornses were doing. Happy to see the follow-up :)
You give me hope for humanity! And.. if you want to sell some cornses, I'm coming down there to get them! :-)
Oh my goodness! Destin's mini! Those kids are growing up so fast! Makes me feel old! -- Great video ... hoping for a good harvest!
I mean, seriously, "How does one go wrong with Bodacious Cornses????" Good luck to you and the crop!
I hope your corn goes well this year. If not, come north to us in Iowa and can show you plenty. Great to see your kids getting involved and on the video. It's also great to see they're using the best footwear God gave them.
1:05 the face of a proud dad, so nice!
Dang, that's legit! My ones also drive tractors now. Crazy! I've been thinking of growing a bunch of cornses as well. I have a sheller and grinder, and might try making corn meal (or chicken feed). It needs to get a bit warmer here though, we got an inch of snow yesterday!
Great to see your garden patch, My wife Jackie's favorite sweet corn is bodacious, something fun to do is have a sweet corn blind tasting with 3 or 4 varieties it was fun to see the different flavor in sweet corn varieties.
Great job guys. Cornses 2020 BABY!
That looks like so much fun!
Wow, the kids are growing up!
This type of content is why I love the second channel
FYI Grasses (Maize, wheat, etc) should be planted in blocks. They're pollinated by wind so a single row might struggle to pollinate prooperly.

EDIT: Read some comments, seems this has already been mentioned.
Best of luck with your cornses this year!
We're growing three 25' rows of cornses this year! I hope yours come up great. God bless!
There are so many things I admire about you and your life. This is just one more thing :)
I feel very good about your cornses! This is your year! Totally eatable!
1:38 You misspelled "cornses"
I love the tiny signs!
Good luck with the crops !
I love the handmade signs!
Destin I'd love to see some videos from your perspective and/or learning about different style of food gardening/farming. Specifically No-dig (ala Charles Dowding) vs traditional methods (ala tilling). I think your scientific perspective and learning as you teach style would be fantastic for a series!
The Cornses Per Minute on this video is off the charts.
Nice! Glad to see you and your family is doing great... Thanks for sending invites for the service on twitter :)
more farming videos! so pleasant to watch
Crazy how big they are!!!
Destin, your mammoth looked to have a 5th leg hanging out there, all willy nilly. Also, this is great! Rock on, man! Better start getting those Mason jars together for canning, unless you're planning on a Sandlin Farmer's Market :) grace and peace to you
Been waiting for an update on the corners!
WHERE'S THE UPDATE DESTIN!? We demand to know how the cornses grew!!!
Love your videos, greetings from Cancún Mexico!
Destin, you need RABBIT MANURE in those rows....get a good load or six and plow it in. Big WIDE rows, so you can make good blocks of corn which will pollinate properly :)
Great job!! Let's go cornses
Destin's life is so idyllic it's actually ridiculous. Like something out of a children's book.
Dustin, Have you thought about three sister planting? - Corn + beans + squash? it's supposed to help greatly with yield.
Hi, corn! Love these vids
@Destin you should plant marigolds with your tomatoes! They help them grow really well because tomatoes protects the tomato plants from harmful root-knot nematodes in the soil! would make a neat video
The kids have gotten so big!
His kids are all gonna be geniuses I swear
Very cool! I need to find a project to involve my kids, too!
Can’t wait to see the result!
finally some wholesome content on youtube
Destin my man. Here is how you will grow good sweet corn. You are gunna need about 1,000 plants planted in a block formation. You want 8-12 rows. Each row spaced about 24-30 inches apart. In every row you want each plant spaced 4-6 inches apart. Your problem is pollination. Corn is wind pollinated so it needs to be in a block so it can pollinate properly. Hope you read this because this is definitely the problem. Love your stuff!
Ah yes. I forgot about seed depth. Shoot for about 2 inches.
They ARE running tractors now. Proud!
One day I shall too have many cornses in my garden lol
I love it!
Can't help but notice your tractor
I love you Destin!!!!
Knee high by the 4th of July!! Good stuff Bud!!☺
I transplanted my cornses to rows over the weekend. But mine are popcornses. Good luck!!
Only an American would call this a "mini" farm.
Here in Europe, we call that an "industrial" farm, because you're using machines!
;-p
Thank you
This is the year for big gardens and extra produce to bless others...
cool vid dude. love to see the kids getting involved and learning practical skills, what a cool dad..
and off topic how is the phd studies going, any updates.
Omg this is so wholesome! Can we please have more videos like this?
I love it! Whats the irrigation method?
*They’re running tractors now*
I think a lot of us just got hit with a wave of wishing he were our dad
Good luck!
Destin! I'm one state above you in TN. What variety of your corn are you trying to grow? Also, having a simple row of good soil in the surrounding dirt like that can harm your chances. It signals to the roots "hey! This soil is easy! I'm going to stay here!" and not have them go down deep. You can also try growing in blocks!
I’m jealous of your space to grow!
I'd love to hear how your cornses turned out
God Bless you all and your "Corns eds"
I don't feel at all smarter, but I loved it. In view of that, have a comment for the algorithm.
