I have never tried any and wonder if someone might have a tip or two. Thanks in advance.

Squirrels may be a bigger problem, but an electric fence will keep the the coons out....course you got to keep the weeds and grass off the fence....novatech":1pga7rjx said:How?lynnmcmahan":1pga7rjx said:Protect from coons when it starts to ripen
And while we are at it squirrels?
We plant in a rather flat row. When it starts to form the support roots we cultivate pulling the dirt up on the sides of the corn to add support. We may do this more than once through the growing season.

build a fence around em to keep the deer out and hope they grow after we dumped 1.5 inches of rain on em the other day. When do you fertalize em some more?

Been eating out of the first patch for two weeks. It was planted first Sat of March. Put up 18quarts that I cut off the cob. Plan to get the remainder tomorrow. The second patch was planted the third Sat of March and should be ready next week. Much better patch since we were able to water. Should be able to give a bunch away.lynnmcmahan":26jrwak9 said:Keep the weed out
Use 1# (pint jar) of 13-13-13 fertilizer for every 100' row at plant time
Plant 1" deep about 10''s apart
Side dress w/33/0/0 fertilizer when it's knee high
Spray for worms when it's waist high and watch for more every two weeks
Protect from deer all the time
Protect from coons when it starts to ripen
Keep a close eye on it and don't pick it to early but don't let it start to harden up. Look at the days to harvest for the type that you plant, usually around 90 days.
Good luck

No problems with bugs, squirrels, birds or coons

Can I replant and try to get some grown before it gets cold?
