Corn needs warmth, sun and the right layout in the garden for good pollination. Here are the germination and growing instructions.
When to sow corn
Sow 10–15 days after the last frost, from April to June, directly in the final spot.
Planting depth
Plant 3–5 cm deep, 25–30 cm apart in the row and 50–60 cm between rows. Plant in a block of several short rows so the wind can pollinate the plants.
Germination temperature
Ideally 20–30°C. Germination takes 5–10 days. In cold soil below 12°C the seeds rot.
Watering
Water deeply and regularly, especially when the tassels and silks appear.
Light and feeding
It needs full sun and a nitrogen-rich fertiliser every 2–3 weeks.
