Growing Corn
Growing Corn
- Delay planting corn until after the final frost in spring.
- Plant the seedlings at a spacing of 8 to 12 inches in an area that receives full sun. Ensure the soil is fertile and well-drained, with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8.
- Upgrade existing soil conditions by blending in a few inches of aged compost or other fertile organic matter.
- Corn thrives in well-watered conditions, promoting expedited growth. Monitor soil moisture frequently and contemplate the use of a soaker hose for smaller areas.
- Supplementing with nutrients can play a vital role in maintaining overall well-being of your corn plants.
- For effective moisture retention and weed prevention, add a 3-inch layer of mulch to the soil.
- When the ear feels plump and the silks are brown and dry, its time to harvest the corn.
