            | pumpkin bell | Alabama | Do you guy just leave your corn roots uncovered or do you cover them with dirt? http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=113421

            | Rustico | Jamul | We have Peruvian purple corn, not exactly giant, but big and  the roots look the same as those in your picture. I read somewhere that a foot of dirt could be piled up as the corn develops taller.  I haven't tried it yet, so can't say anything more definite... was actually thinking about posting the same question. I'd Like to hear from someone who has done it too.  | 7/18/2011 1:00:46 AM | 
		
            | Dutch Brad | Netherlands | You can cover up till 4-6 ft depending on the type of corn. | 7/18/2011 4:55:29 AM |
