We planted 8 100ft rows of corn. That's enough for us and my daughter's family. This year my son and his family will be blessed. My son just got his medical release from the Marines and will be home in Texas from California. We also hope to get to bless other families but they have pick their own.

Thanks for the great info! I was born in 59 and as soon as I could pick up a rock I was in a garden for all of my young life. After many years I'm fixing to get back in the dirt. I have a patch about that size for my sweet corn. I can tell that you and me came out of the same tree. That's just the way I'm fixing to do mine. Thanks again.

Really good Greg. On Green Acres Oliver's finger was bandaged because he planted all his corn acreage with his finger.

He said " its gonna wear ya out if ya aint used to workin" lol

So jealous! I'm sure my back would hurt a lot less using a BCS tiller. My Yardmate does a great job, but I have to life it to turn it, and it's heavy. LOL, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I planted my sweet corn exactly the way you just showed us, and my goodness, it was productive! I'm planning to put in 7 rows this season. The way things are in the world, my goal in planting is to produce enough to last until the next planting season. I may not always make the goal, but I'll have plenty to feed us, and maybe some for my neighbors, too. Garden like your life depends on it, because it does!

I have a Grillo G85 with the Honda engine, and it couldn’t be more reliable, which I also got from Earth Tools, shipped to me here in Florida, zone 9B. I always transplant my corn, and is a ton more work, but it basically eliminates weed competition completely as your putting in healthy plants. I do use my HOSS wheel hoe though all the time to keep the areas between the rows weed free.

Great video. Grandpa always said you could get more corn out of a crooked row.

Great information and well done video, this is how we have laid ours all my life. We use to flood our corn rows during our hot, dry Louisiana summers, our Dad let us slide down the rows of mud, didn’t hurt the corn one bit. Now I use the Hoss Tool Drip Irrigation System, I am little to old to be sliding down the rows in the mud. I did post a video last year.

I love my drip tape attachment. I purchased a BCS 4' plastic mulch layer with drip tape kit. After two days of allot of sweating and ugly talking I parked the mulch layer until I could find some better quality plastic. I found very quickly how much I really liked the Hoss attachment. It's simple and very efficient at laying drip tape.

We also had nothing but headaches from our Hoss planter. Skips a lot and jams frequently. Called customer support and they said a new model worked better. I asked about trading up and they said mine was of no value as too many issues with smaller wheel design. Kind of poor answer after we spent a decent amount thinking we were buying a quality product. Sad when manufactures use people as a test bed at the customers expense. Planter is like new and most likely heading to trash bin. Hope the next generation works better than this one or they can hang it up.

How far apart do you space the plants within the row? This year I'm doing 12 inches between the plants and 18 inches between rows, but it looks a bit too sparse. Next year I'm thinking of doing 24 inch rows that I can walk between and 6 or 8 inches between the plants for fuller rows. I'm hoping that's not too tight if I want to go down to 6 inches between plants.
