Sowing Instruction

Remove the mulch to allow the soil to begin heating and add some finished compost to the soil. To further heat the soil you can cover the soil with a black plastic. Seeds should be sowed 1 inch deep and 8 inches apart. After sowing keep the soil moist and use a plastic cover to maintain the soil temperature and protect seedlings against frost.

Growing

Growing Instruction

Space the seeds and rows correctly. Row spacing should be 36″”, and seed spacing per row should be 36″” also. The spacing is critical because corn needs other plants to pollinate in order to produce ears of corn. Corn needs at least 4 to 6 rows for good pollination; 8 to 12 rows is better, even in a home garden, if possible. Water the corn as needed for your climate to keep it wet. It is all right if corn dries out between watering. Planting in furrows will make watering easier.

Harvesting

Harvesting Instruction

Touch the kernels on the ears after 3 weeks. They should be filled with milky liquid. Push the kernel and the liquid will burst out. This is sign that the corn is ready for harvesting.
