I had good luck with my corn this year and last several years so I thought pass on some of things I learned and hope others will do the same.
1. plant several different varieties in blocks of a min of 20 plants.
2. the varieties must have different maturity times or
3.plant same variety in several blocks once ever 2 weeks.
4. if you go by 3 above run your early plants on west to east.
if have two block W12E ,three blocks W123E ,four blocks W1234E
5. corn is heavy feeder especially nitrogen and potash
6. since old native American method of putting fish in planting hole attract 4 legged pest a hand full composted manure works just a well.
7. if plan eating corn on cob. boil water first put shucked corn in pot, then put lid
on pot and remove the pot from heat and wait 5 min. and corn will not get soggy.
8. corn taste better when picked by short blond children, with bowl hair cuts and red eyes.
