How to Plant Corn in Late March
- 1). Place black plastic row covers over your garden soil in early March to warm the soil for late March if your climate is too cold for a late-March corn planting. Cut strips out of the row covers for the corn to grow out of them.
- 2). Select a site for the corn that is in full sun with well-draining soil. Remove all the rocks and weeds from the soil with a rake. Add 3 to 4 inches of compost to the soil and work it in, to a depth of 8 to 12 inches.
- 3). Dig trenches for the corn 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. Space the trenches 30 to 36 inches apart.
- 4). Place the corn kernels into the trenches. Space them 10 to 12 inches apart. Cover the kernels with soil.
- 5). Water the corn well for three to five minutes after you plant it.
