Im following  the 4 yr rotation plan and planning my lotty out for this yr. Now my question i was hoping for some advice on is;

Ive got a perfect 3m square next to my shed that i used for sweetcorn last yr. As well as a perfect spot it also acts as a 'wall' as next to the houses. So really i would like to grow my sweetcorn same spot again. I was kinda hoping seems it has been manured and i will put alot of my compost on would i get away not rotating? 

Any body used same spot on there sweetcorn? mine was fantastic last yr so dont want to mess it up.

Cheers MW.

I would; not aware that sweetcorn suffers from any diseases which could build up in the soil so as long as they have plenty of food I think they should be fine.

Sweetcorn is a heavy feeder greedy sort, so you will need to add plenty to the soil if it is staying in the same spot.

corn is a heavy feeder on phosphorus and leaves go purpley if there isnt enough id rotate mine cause they really are greedy... hoe many cobs do you tend to get per plant this year is my first growing them

I only had 1 per plant..the lower ones didn't swell because it was so dry here in Kent.
Maybe 2 from some of them this year. Fingers crossed

I got 2 to 3 per plant last yr , tasted great )

I put this down to my weekly feed of comfrey tea
