What you need to know to Plant & Grow
For a successful and natural harvest, sweet corn plants require careful isolation from other corn types, including other sweet varieties, popcorn, ornamental corn, and silage corn. To be safe, isolate sweet corn with a surrounding buffer zone 76 m wide, or by sowing different types at least two weeks apart.
Planting: Plant seeds after all danger of frost is past and the soil has naturally warmed up to at least 18°C. Planting in cold soil can delay germination, inviting pests and rot. For best growth, choose a sunny, wind-sheltered site with well-drained, organic soil. To ensure proper pollination, plant in a block of at least 3 to 4 rows. Space seeds 10-15 cm apart in the row, later thinning to 20-30 cm apart. Rows should be 90 cm apart. Germination takes about 7 to 10 days in warm soil.
Care: Work a good organic vegetable fertilizer into the soil at planting, keep weeds under control, and ensure the soil is evenly watered throughout the season. Cobs are ready for harvesting when the silks turn dark brown. To check for maturity, gently peel back a section of the husk and press your thumbnail into a kernel. If the liquid is a milky colour, the corn is ready; if it’s clear, it’s immature.
