Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Buhl sweet corn thrives best in rich, well-draining, and fertile soil. To ensure optimal growth, prepare the soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and space them about 12 inches apart, with rows set 24-36 inches apart. Consistent soil moisture is crucial, particularly during germination and the formation of tassels and silks. Additionally, full sun exposure is essential, and monitoring for pests such as corn earworms and aphids is necessary to protect the crop.
When to Grow
Buhl sweet corn should be planted directly outdoors when soil temperatures reach about 60 degrees F, after all danger of frost is past for your area, ideally when the temperatures reach 75-80 F. You can check local frost dates to determine the best planting time for your specific region.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sowing is the preferred method for planting Buhl sweet corn, as it does not transplant well. Plant the seeds 1-2 inches deep and space them 12 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart to ensure proper growth. Once the seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to the strongest plant per spacing to promote healthy development. Plant in blocks to improve pollination.
How to Grow
Consistent watering is vital, especially during key growth stages. Regularly fertilize the plants using a balanced fertilizer or organic compost to support vigorous growth. Weeding around the plants is necessary to prevent competition for nutrients and water. Applying mulch can help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. For tall plants, staking may be necessary to prevent wind damage.
How to Save
- Corn is wind pollinated and will easily cross with other varieties (including GMO corn!). You will need at least 1 mile of isolation to avoid cross pollination. You can also use staggered timing or caging techniques.
- Hand pick ears when fully dried on stalk. Seeds keep best if left on the ear; just remove at planting time.
- Sweet corn seeds will remain viable for 2 years; dent corn will last up to 5 years when properly stored.
