Corn Golden Bantam Planting Guide 🌽

Corn Golden Bantam 🌽

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Corn needs full sun for optimal growth 🌞. Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Ensure good soil drainage to prevent root rot.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Corn prefers fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter 🌾. If your soil is heavy, mix in compost or aged manure to improve texture and drainage.

3. Planting Instructions:
Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 8-12 inches apart 🌍. For rows, space them 24-36 inches apart to allow for proper pollination.

4. Watering Requirements:
Corn requires regular, deep watering, especially during the flowering and pollination stages 💦. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water early in the day to avoid disease.

5. Germination Time:
Corn typically germinates in 7-10 days ⏳, depending on soil temperature. Ensure the soil is warm enough (65°F or higher) for quick germination.

6. Ongoing Care:
Once the plants are established, continue to water deeply and apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds 🌽.
