This is all the information you need to grow corn successfully in small garden spaces. The key is planting corn in blocks and not rows. Water the corn more often and plant the seeds more closely together than you might think.

Thanks.
Rabbits, squirrels and my new neighbor, a groundhog, destroyed my corn plants when they got to about 2'-3' tall. I had to get more fencing and just decided to refresh the soil for another planting of green beans. I'll try corn again next season.
Grew in a rectangular small patch. Great growth but I missed “helping” the pollination. What should I have done to pollinate the silks. I have lots of cobs w/o kernels.
Great video!
I did the same this year (about 6" apart) but the ones on the back and some in the middle did not get enough sun and did not grow tall or produce corn. Also mice is eating the corn off the plants that did managed to produce! 🙁
