SWEETCORN

Hi - I would like to know too! First year for me with sweetcorn. I have fed them a couple of times with tomato feed - no bad side effects and the cobs seem to be growing well. Cheers :-) Teresa

Sorry I missed this question at the time, but perhaps this will help if you're planning to grow sweetcorn again this year. I have successfully grown it for the past two years, and this is what I do. About weeks before planting out, I rake some fish, blood and bone into the bed - and that's it. You can always repeat this some 6-8 weeks on, but I don't, as sweetcorn has shallow roots, which I wouldn't want to disturb. All they need is plenty of plain water in dry spells and, hopefully, plenty of sunshine.
