Isn't that the standard size of corn though? I have no idea..

Pigeon poo is awesome for helping bare patches of grass regrow!

Great crop. Ive never been a good corn grower. I grow all sorts of vegies however corn just doesnt want to do its thing for me. Was it just the rat poo or is their something else to ensure success?

Howdy earthling, got to compost the rat poo for a month or two. I use lucerne chaff mixed with hysorb wood shavings for rat substrate so that helps in the mix too. I think the secret to corn is stacks of organic stuff in the soil and heaps of water while the cobs are developing.

I use the wood shavings along with the rat poo to put around my shrubs in the garden. Great source of fertilizer

When you said crop, I thought it was going to be something illicit...

I too have found rat poo to be insanely effective as a fertilizer!
at my last place I used to spread it out over one section of the yard, within three months, the grass in that section was growing thicker and greener and at over twice the rate as the rest of the yard!

unfortunately for the owner, I had to move before I got to treat the whole yard.. haha shame for him

honestly, if you have rats, test it for yourself, it really is super stuff.
I have bags of the stuff piled up in the side yard heh, need to dump it soon.
all that great compost going to waste

They are also excellent feed for ciclids and I also have a few people buy them for feeding beardies and the odd bluey.
