Thought I would share how I do sweet corn. I found a very easy way. I start in floaters but plug trays will work just as well. Although this sounds kind of nuts, planting a start is just as easy as planting seed if you are doing it by hand. I mulch the crap out the corn patch, grass clipping and leaves. After a few good rains, the mulch winds up being flat and almost like cardboard.
When it is dried out, I snap a chalk line. I then sit on my butt with a tray and a pipe. I stab the pipe into the ground where the corn is going to be planted. Drop a 6" or taller plug into the hole and push the sides shut. When done, I soak the heck out of it to get the mulch and dirt to settle against the plug a bit better.
Result - No weeding cause the corn has enough of a start that it chokes out the sun. I do get some choker vines / morning glory, but not many at all.
