Ensure the growing location has good drainage and enough humus to ensure the ground will not dry too quickly.

Sweet corn must be planted in blocks, not as a single row to ensure good pollination.  Cover any roots that appear at the base with mulch or old compost to retain moisture.  Do not allow the crop to dry out during hot weather whilst flowering.

Each plant will produce 1-2 cobs, test for ripeness when the silks have turned brown.
