Has anybody tried sweetcorn in containers,i was wondering if it is at all possible will have loads of Morrison buckets when the early spuds finish

I'm not 100% certain, but I would think it's worth having a go. You'd have to butt the buckets up as close as possible as the wind pollinates sweetcorn. I'd go for one plant per bucket as mine grew pretty big on the plot last year. Anyway, these are my thoughts at 9.40pm and someone far more knowledgable will be along in a minute to tell you how to do it properly!!!! Jude.

I have grown sweet corn successfully in large containers before I got my allotment. You would need at least a 40ltr container. I grew 4 to a container. I think that a Morrisons flower bucket is too small and if you did manage to grown one sweetcorn plant in it it would be very unstable (top heavy). If you do grow some sweetcorn in a container remember to give them plenty of feed and water!!
