Tomorrow's the day--I'm planting my corn!
I've only tried this once before, and had a terrible time with the stalks falling over after they got about 4 feet tall and we got a good stiff breeze. I was thinking that this year I would dig a trench maybe 3 inches deep, plant the seeds, and then as they got bigger (say around 2 feet tall) fill the trench in to give them a little extra support.
Is this a good idea or a bad one? Is there anything else I can do to help my corn stand straight and tall? It'll be a very small plot, only three rows about 6 feet each, planted at one-foot intervals in every direction in the square-foot-gardening approach.
Thanks for any advice! |
