Position: Full sun, with protection from wind. Remember that corn is a large plant that casts a long shadow, so position accordingly.
Soil: Corn is a greedy feeder, so you will need to prepare a rich soil. Add compost and fresh manure, and allow to settle for a fortnight before planting.
Soil pH Level: 5.5 - 7
How to Plant: A heavy feeder so use a free draining soil well integrated with compost and slow release organic fertiliser or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. Sow directly to the patch and plant in numbers to help with pollination. If growing a lonesome plant, hand pollination is recommended.
Spacing: 30cm
Depth: 2-3cm
What to plant in: Pot / Ground
Companion Plants: Beans, Cucumber, Zucchini
Approximate no. of seeds: 20
Note: Seeds are sourced locally and in small batches to ensure they remain at their maximum viability for germination. Seeds viable for 5+ years when stored correctly in a cool, dry, dark place.
