Re: Corn Spacing

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Wow!  Lemme see.  That's 1.875 plants/sqft or 1.33 ears/plant or 2,5
ears/sqft.  Very impressive.  What did you fertilize with and how did you
apply it?  Any problems with pollination of the plants at the outside edges?
Any noticeable cross-pollination ?  -Olin
