Thanks for the input, Worth. Deeper it will be but it will have to wait until spring as that patch of garden will be planted to field peas when the corn stalks are pulled. I have tried a second corn crop before but both times it was a battle with ear worms (none at all in this current crop and I'm amazed at that!), corn smut and keeping enough water on it during the worst heat of the summer so I abandoned a second crop. One and done for me!
