Sweet corn after potatoes

[Dorothy rouse]

Am intending to plant out some sweet corn seedlings, in ground where I've just dug up Earlies, what would be best to add to ground, to give it a boast? ( if anything?)

Thanks

Maybe some BFB or chicken manure pellets? But I would give the bed a couple of weeks at least after that for the fertiliser to break down a bit. Why not just bung them in now and feed with a liquid feed? I'm sure your soil will have plenty of nutrients in it anyway, despite having just produced spuds.

They like a lot of nitrogen & potatoes would have used up what was in the ground. I do both BFB at planting,just sprinkled on top of the soil & high nitrogen liquid feed every month (since 6wks old).

Agreed!

Well we'll see how they do, I added chicken manure pellets, the corn really had to go in the ground, it was still in little modules and getting quite tall.

If the sweetcorn does look a bit sad after a while you can always give it a high nitrogen feed like normal lawn fertiliser, mine was looking a bit sorry for itself but a quick watering with some lawn feed and it picked-up right away.
