Corn for ourselves I start indoors in a floater tray and then plant threw mulch. That way it is attractive and can be up by the house. Corn for market and critters is too large for all that attention.
Started the corn for critters planting. Spacing is 1 foot between seeds, 3 seeds per hole, 1 yard between rows. The between the rows measurement is mainly so I can till between rows at first to rip weeds and scatter dirt up on top of the roots. Did it this way years ago and I thinned to one plant per foot.
So a friend hits me with you should never have less than three plants per hole. Per friend, the wind will take down your corn if you do not have at least three. Has anyone heard that before? Have certainly lost corn to wind, but I gotta figure since the roots are all shallow that they would really screw with each other.
