Thread: Corn Stalks

Tweet

I have heard and seen that many of you use the corn stalks(the tall ones) for your yard displays- where do you get these from? I would love to use some this year but have no idea where to get them from?

The pumpkin' patch I frequent has them for sale. Look for one that advertises a corn maze...they gotta do something with the stalks they mow down.

Calloway's Nurseries also has them available, although not huge amounts.

Pumpkin patch.I get mine for free from a family friend.

I have gotten them from the local farmers market.

My father-in-law. But around here anyone will give them to you after harvest.

I couldn't find any "free" ones last year, only ones for sale from $5-$7 per bunch, so this year I've planted a garden and am going to use my own stalks.

They should be readily available. at least they are in the Chicago area, at Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, grocery stores and garden centers. I start seeing them mid-September.

I get mine from pumpkin patches when I don't get enough free ones. One thing I do is post on Craigslist in the wanted section and the farm section (or whatever it is) that I'm looking for cornstalks for free. Also, I look around the neighborhood for people growing corn and see if I can set up to get the stalks when they are done with them.

Pumpkin patch, but clean up is a pain in the butt.
