I leave in central Jersey I grew some corm in may none of them grew

I've always grown mine 1 foot apart in rows 1 foot apart in 4 row blocks with enough space between the blocks to allow some work space. I also plant legumes (peas, beans, green beans...) in with the corn inside the rows themselves when I thin the corn at 6-8 inches tall. The legumes use the stalks for trellises and help anchor the corn in high wind while helping replenish the nitrogen in the soil.

Planting after the first frost is wrong too, corn needs 70 degree soil to germinate. You can plant in late March or early April and still have corn for your 4th of July BBQ. Also don't plant two varieties next to each other or they will cross pollinate and the corn will come with mutated kernels with very little edible material. It also doesn't transplant well, direct sow is best. Wait until the previous planting is about a foot tall before starting the next crop.

wrong wrong wrong on spacing. DO NOT TAKE HER ADVICE.

Very nice. I guess corn needs a big field. Since I have 4 x 8 foot planter boxes I could just fit two or three plants down the center of the box.

she's stupid

Over 35k people watched this misinformation/noninformation. Corn will not pollinate three feet apart; and how difficult would it have been to research the nutrients corn needs? How deep are the seeds planted? How much water does corn require? How much sun? What kind of soil is best? What kinds of pests should be avoided? Does corn have a companion plant? It takes more than a sawed-off husk and a seed packet to create an informative garden video.

eHow is trying to fucking sabotage your gardens. fuck this bitch

@kycruisecrazy Usually you'll get 2 ears per stalk, except baby corn, which produces more. Just plant them closer than this video suggests, not 3 feet more like 10 inches.
-
Corn is wind pollinated and needs to be planted 10-12 inches apart in blocks, if you follow this advice you won't get any ears at all. you can make your rows 3 feet apart, so you can walk between them, but this information is incorrect- you get better info from the seed packet.

corn is corn, but corn on the other hand... well thats jus corn
-
yes corn is a grain like think of corn meal but who really cares its yummy
-
Not any criticism here but we plant 5000 acres of corn every year, corn is a grain not a vegetable. You don't plant it 3 feet apart you plant it in rows 30 inches apart and about 2 inches apart in the rows. I have lived on a farm all my life so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. Also for better yielding corn spread fertilizer. Corn LOVES nitrogen, fertilizers like Euria have nitrogen in them. Hope this helps clarify and correct this video.

How many ears per stalk? Whats the best yielding corn?
-
Can i grow and harvest corn from a pot??
-
@saintveil try using wild groud leaf tea, for your plants, it is a bug repellent for your plants. see nothing eats a wild gourd leaf in the bug world. nothing--- so the tea spray makes the bugs think it is a wild gourd and leaves it alone. try it, from donze52 videos.

@ikeorch7 Yeah 8 to 12 inches is more like it.I mean 3 feet is more for someone who has a super lot of land maybe in the country !If your soil is good and rich you can plant them 6 to 8 inches apart and they should do great I have.But my soil is now poor so i got work to do.
-
@saintveil oh ok, oh btw our corn was really tasty
-
lol i live in maryland, if i want corn i can just pull up on one of hundreds of huge fields of it everywhere and pluck some ears. they use pesticide which needs to be washed off, but its easy since the leaves are thick, like none got to the kernels. or buy it for like a few bucks for a bunch. if its not going to car ethanol, its going to feed or food. native americans unknowingly bred this plant to be one of americas most a'maiz'ing renewables.
