have never really grown corn. But so many people come to market looking for it, I may try it next year. We had 2 vendors sell it. One had plenty of it but the quality left a lot to be desired. Wormy and slimy near the top where the worms were. Another vendors quality was slightly better but only came for 2 weekends. I've heard that corn isn't very profitable but I've got some spare space where I can plant a couple of blocks. So I'm going to give it a shot. But I need some help.
Can corn be successfully grown organically without the pest issues? What organic preventatives would you recommend?
The only time I've tried to grow corn, my stalks were wispy and the ears never really developed. Part of the reason was location and soil quality which I'll address this time around. But what is the secret to growing a good batch of corn?
I am thinking of adding another 3 raised beds in front of my first gardening area. 2 4x12 beds and 1 4x16. I'll have to order soil. What recommendations would you have as far as getting these new beds ready to plant corn?
Thanks for all the good advice I'm sure I'll get
