A  short time ago (maybe 2 weeks) someone mentioned planting corn 4
per sq. foot. but most on this list said it was incorrect and should
be one per sq. foot. Did you actually have good results with this
close spacing?

I'll be planting my corn in the next month, and I had mapped out
one per sq. foot. I'd love to get more in my space if possible.
