Re: Corn

If you are referring to the Organic Gardening article where Mel tells how to grow 64 corn plants in a 4x4, he suggested using Early Sunglow or Butterfruit because they are short, and manageable and can give two ears per stalk.  I've researched the archives of this list and others, and very few people have had success with more than one plant per 2/3 sq. ft.
 
I'm interested in seeing your results.  Good luck, and remember that you must provide lots of nutrients and water for this to work.

I didn't see anyone mentioning it -- perhaps I missed a note -- but Mel actually has tried growing four corn plants per sq ft, 64 per 4x4 garden!  He said it worked quite well.  I think it was Silver Queen.
