A sweet corn bed was prepared by fertilizing with compost and some Urea(Nitrogen). The rows were marked with boards and the area was covered with mulch.The corn seeds are now being soaked until they sprout then will be planted under the boards. The boards serve two purposes. They keep the seeds damp and prevent birds from stealing the seed corn. The corn chosen is Seneca Arrowhead and Seneca Horizon. About 80 plants will be grown. A small patch should be relatively compacted as shown to have good pollination as opposed to row growing.
