Nice - how many plants?

[–] Spacebar 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't count. I planted 3 seeds per hole in three rows of 20 feet spaced about a foot apart. So that 30 to 100. Closer to 50 is my guess.

Oh wow that’s a good amount. Keep us posted! I’ve always wanted to try corn. But I hear you need a goodly number of plants for them to cross pollinate. I might have room for 16 if I grow nothing else.

For small plot pollination, the trick is to plant 3 seeds per hole.
