Forgive me for being dense, but I’m just not able to picture that much corn being planted in hill formation.

Imagine a single row divided into six small hills about 18 inches across. Each hill has 6 corn plants coming up. Now multiply that by 5. Not all of the plants usually make it. That is why I plant 6 on each hill.

I'll try to post a picture tonight.

Maybe thats where I messed up, I didn’t plant the corn in hills. I planted it in rows with a bean plant next to it and my squash in between the rows. How big are your hills to hold 6 corn plus beans and squash?
