Reply To: Yellow Leaves on Sweetcorn

[Big D]

Hi Charles

No, it is not boggy. We are on clay soil but on a south facing slope so it drains well. In fact it has gone hard on top although nice and damp underneath but definitely not boggy.

I was over the plot this afternoon and see that another allotmenteer 4 plots away has a similar thing happening on her sweetcorn. It is very strange!

I tried giving the sweetcorn a foliage watering with sequestered iron and seaweed this afternoon and will see if that makes any difference.

I can’t believe too many nutrients have been washed out with the recent rain but definitely something is happening.
