When planting corn you don't need a big "stand" of corn to have corn. You need to plant it at least 3 rows wide 12 inches between the rows and 12 inches between each plant or seed in the rows.

So in an area of about 4ft by 12ft you could have 36 corn plants,and some good corn plants like "incredible" will produce two ears per plant in a good growing season with proper fertilizer.That's up to 72 ears of corn.

Corn loves nitrogen so when it start growing about 5-6 inches tall throw some around the plants then when it starts "tassel ling" do it again.

Well drained soil works fine My garden is well "drained". Actually a well drained garden does the best.
