fertilizer

[freedhardwoods]

A mix of 4-6-4 of fertilizer is ideal for gardening. The figure 4-6-4 indicates the quantity of the three main minerals that are blended i.e. 4 % nitrogen, 6 % phosphorus and 4 % potassium.

That would be a fine all around mix. Corn is a heavy nitrogen feeder though. You will want to give it extra N.

I buy urea (46% N) and 6-24-24 and blend my own mixes. For corn, I till in fertilizer before planting, side dress with urea at 3 or 4 inches and again when tassels start to show.
