This kid that works for me (my "gardener," which sounds a lot more

has to be in full sunlight and you have to have at least three rows in
order for it to germinate. Is this true?

Thanks!

He's got the right idea. Full sun is best. You get a better yield
with 3 or more rows rather than a single long row, or you can grow
them in mounds for better pollination. Corn uses a lot of nitrogen.
