2. Utilize Popcorn Kernels to Grow Corn
Supplies Required: Popcorn
Making Cost: $4.99*
Even after the microwave has beeped, there are usually a few kernels in the popcorn bag that don’t pop. These kernels might be used to cultivate corn. Place them between two damp paper towels to germinate. You can tell when a seed has germinated because it will produce a little root and stem with leaves.

After the kernels have germinated, plant them in the ground in blocks of three (corn is wind-pollinated). There should be a foot between each short row. During dry spells, make sure to water the corn as it grows. Till the corn’s leaves have turned brown, leave the ears on the plant.
