I always thought sweetcorn needed wind for pollination . How will you acheive this in the pollytunnel ?

You're absolutely right, they are wind pollinated when grown outside. We will have the doors open to allow for ventilation during the day but, when the time comes, we tap the stalks so that the pollen falls from the male flower (tassel) down onto the silks (female flower). We'll do this for a few days. Some people remove some tassels everyday and 'dust' the silks with them. Others will tap the stalks and catch the pollen in a leaf/paper and use a makeup brush to distribute the pollen onto the silks.
