- Growing tips: Directly sow corn seeds in well-drained, compost-rich soil after last frost and when soil temperature reaches 75-80F. Keep soil moist but not water-logged. Fertilize with fish emulsion mid-season once every week. For better pollination and full ears, plant in the form of square blocks instead of long, skinny blocks. Continuously monitor for corn earworms to protect your crop. Avoid planting open-pollinated varieties closer than 1 mile distance to GMO corn, if any near your garden/farm.
