Corn

10 years ago

I planted a few corn this year and had some success in the form of a couple dozed cobs out of aprox 100 plants with alot of smaller unripen cobs.My question is how or do I fertilize in the fall for a better crop next year.I have access to alot of seaweed which I heard is real good for corn or do I mix in some manure now or just wait till spring to fertilize. Or any other suggestions would be great.

corn uses a lot of nitrogen. Chicken manure if you can obtain it. Best used in spring as nitrogen leaches out rapidly. Cattle, sheep, horse maure can be applied in the fall but should have a nitrogen boost in the growing season for best results.
