    Add a lot of fertilizer. And at the end of the season cut up and bury the stocks in the planting bed. This really works I do it every year.

    Great video thanks! I have never grown corn before, but this year I’m giving it a go. I’ve just soaked the seeds and have sown them in to a seedling mix. Fingers crossed 🤞 Looking forward to watching the process unfold here in New Zealand 😊

      Also, I live in Arizpna and so I have to grow indoors for most things anyway. Although corn does well here my soul is hard clay. Even when I attempt to mulch and prepare it with other mediums. The heat kills most of the crops.

    • @Liap
      @Liap  3 роки тому +2

      I may get it wrong, but these are probably width and depth measurements? Let's say you will grow a corn that grows 150cm tall (almost 5 ft) plus you will want to have some gap between the top of your plants and the growlight (1 ft atleast), means you will need your grow tent to be 180-200 cm tall (5 ft 10 to 6 ft 6).

    • @Liap
      @Liap  3 роки тому +1

      Corn can grow quite well in soil that is clayey. If you live in area with very hot summer, I would suggest you start them in february/march. Most of the corn varieties are ready to harvest in 70-90 days which means you can harvest them right before the summer heat.

      That is very much dependant on the variety you grow and also on the weather. Some early varieties need just 8-10 weeks, but some will require up to 14 weeks to produce their corn cobs 🌽
