6.0 - Corn is best grown in full sun, but make sure it does not shade other crops.
Corn is a heavy feeder, so work plenty of compost into soil before planting.
Planting in soil that has not warmed sufficiently will cause the seeds to rot before they will sprout. Rows should be about 24 inches apart. To insure proper formation of the ears, we suggest at least four rows of corn in the garden. For smaller gardens, try planting in a 4 foot by 4 foot block. Plant 3 to 4 seeds in the middle of each square.
