i never met Joy Larkcom but I have met Marvin H. Meisner, Mel Bartholomew and Amy Goldman as for my horticultural results I won several first second and other ribbons. and one grand champion over last few years. as for the uk never been there as for other details i will have post later.
fidgetbones 7 inches between plants in row the distance between rows when corn is plant in rows and distance between rows can be 12-18 in. and since corn is planted in blocks with minimum 4 rows so you get proper pollination.
so if have 4 rows that are 8 ft long. each plant being 8 inch apart you have 12 plants per row so you corn rows are 12 inches apart each corn plant 12 in apart so you corn bed of 4 row is 4ft wide you only have reach max of 24in from each side so it each to pick your corn without needing to get in between rows. if each corn plant gives one ear of corn per plant you can harvest 48 ears of corn from area of 45 square feet or 4.45935 square meters for those who are metric.
pansyface sorry but i haven't even gotten really boring yet. if did i could do good lecture on potting soil volume needed to fill partial conic section pots and the amount expansion and contraction after water is added to the planting medium.
there is also the lecture on:" the social economic impact jimmy cracking corn and the authors indifference to it".
I think I still have Mr Digwell's vegetable gardening calendar book somewhere. For some reason I remember taking it with me as a child when we used to go on driving holidays in Europe. As soon as I saw your post I remembered the book - thanks for the memory!
I found a pic of the book too - I must have had that book in the early 1970's
