lil corn cobs
I am not quite an expert (personally having issues with my corn size as well) but growing plump corn cobs is almost impossible unless you use a native american trick of hand fertilizing your cobs yourself. carefully pulling off the tassles and putting them in a bowl or bag to collect the pollen then dusting the corn silk as thouroughly as possible with out rinseing em off when watering. oh and I like the lazy gardening/ composting thats my kind of yard work!!
