I'm using the 162 Hoss cells this year for the first time - LOVE THEM - some folks were complaining that it was hard to get the transplants out, but I found an easy method: wait till roots are emerging from bottom hole, let the soil get a little dry, tip tray on it's side and push cells out with a piece of rebar. I also cut one tray down to the size of my heat mat for early starts inside.
I plant just enough corn for eating fresh. If you plant in rows than you need at least 4 rows for good pollination. I plant in hills. 4 or 5 stalks of corn in each hill 40 inches between hills. And it pollinates just fine.
I lost two plots of corn last year. I did not try for a third. First plot was washed away. Second plot the crows came through and picked it out just as it germinated. I'm going to try to get a small plot going soon. I'm going to need to get a high arch next, I love my single wheel hoe. Thanks for sharing!!
At about 6" tall I give them about a cup per 10' of row. When they are about 30" tall or so, I'll do it again. This year, I'm using some Chilean Nitrate 15-0-2 from Hoss Tools. It's making the corn go crazy. Here's my link to Hoss Tools: bit.ly/homesteadadvisor
Sorry, but there is absolutely no reason to start corn in containers. Corn actually does best of it's planted directly in the garden because the roots don't like to be disturbed.
Гарних Вам Врожаїв!
I planted peaches and cream a few years back and I loved it.
I think i planted them years ago too... very good as I remember.
Good job brother I like it
Thank you so much 😀

I just used a ball point pen to poke it out from underneath.
Works like a charm!
I plant two rows like that in different stages. Never have had pollination issues
Nice!

The single hoe and double hoe is best for most applications.
The High Arch is great for this.
I had the same issue l put in transplants I'll be harvesting shortly
Wow.
Next year I'm doing corn transplants!!
Send some of that rain to NW Florida please
I'll try :)
I love your stuff. Great source of info.
Glad you enjoy it!
How many times and at what stages do you recommend side dressing? Thanks

Actually... This year I'm doing the water-soluble Chilean Nitrate about every 10 days for the corn.
What zonevare you in. I'm in zone 9b (Orlando) and I cannot grow corn for nothing. Well I can grow it but the worms best me to it every time. Ugh.
Worms kill me too.
