Corn
is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable
technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three
Sisters are beans and squash, and each has its role in the companion
planting tradition. Corn serves as a support for the vining beans.
Squash served as a ground cover, preventing weeds from growing. Beans
provided natural fertilizer for all.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation and Fertilizing:
For
small gardens, corn is best planted in square blocks instead of long
rows to improve cross-pollination between corn stalks. Corn will grow
best in areas with plenty of sunlight and prefers well-drained soils
with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. To prepare the soil, clear the area of
rocks, trash, and large sticks. Small pieces of grass and leaves can be
mixed into the soil to make it richer. Spade the soil 8-10 inches deep
and completely cover plant material. You may optionally scatter 2-3
pounds of a complete fertilizer for every 100 square feet of garden
area. Rake it into the top 4 inches of soil. Rake the soil until it is
smooth.
Planting:
Corn is best planted after the soil warms and is free from all danger of
frost. Plant 1-2 ounces of seed for every 100 feet of row. Corn grows
best when planted in several short rows instead of one long row. This
makes it easier for the plants to pollinate and fill cobs with kernels.
Plant corn seeds 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart. Space rows 2 1/2 - 3
feet apart. After the plants are up, thin them to 8 inches apart. For a
steady harvest, plant again after 2-3 weeks.

Within-Row Spacing:

2 1/2 - 3 feet

Watering: Water corn as needed to keep it from wilting. When kernels are forming, try not to let the corn suffer from lack of water.
Weeding and Fertilizing:
Hoe the weeds off just below the soil's' surface. Try not to work the
soil more than 1 inch deep to prevent injuring root systems. When corn
plants are about 2 feet fall, you may optionally apply 1 cup of
fertilizer for every 10 feet of garden row. Scatter fertilizer evenly
between rows and mix it lightly with the soil. Water after fertilizing.
Insecticides:
Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and
sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sevin is a
synthetic option. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in
controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, please read the
label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions.
Diseases: If a few of your corn plants are stunted, they may have a viral disease and should be removed to keep the virus from spreading.
Popcorn
are ready for harvest when the outer husks turn brown and dry. To
harvest the ears, hold the stalk below the ear and twist the tip of the
ear toward the ground until it breaks off. Let the corn ears dry for a
week. Strip corn and save kernels for popping.
