Fertilization:
'97 (Start-up) 7  5 gal buckets of pretty new cow manure in chip bedding,
'98, 1" TAGRO (City of Tacoma waste water treatment plant mixture) plus a
15oz soup can each of dolomite and ground rock phosphate, '99, same as '98

No pollininazation  problems or noticeable cross pollination, just great
corn, except for the Lyric Hybrid, which, after the first ripe ear, got very
tough and lost flavor. Probably a hybrid developed for commercial harvest.
