I've planted 2-4 seeds per square foot in a diagonal pattern (opposite corners). I hope it's not too crowded and shouldn't be since the area is so small. There's plenty of air circulation in that bed. Corn is one of those crops that isn't a good return on space utilized, but I wanted to grow some anyways. I made sure I fertilized the area with a slow release organic fertilizer too. The beans are in the same bed since they fix nitrogen into the soil and corn is a heavy nitrogen consumer.

By succession planting 3 sections at 2-3 weeks intervals it's my hope that we a couple weeks of staggered corn harvest.

Here is my layout I'm using. Each square represents 1 square ft. This bed is 4x11. The preview only shows part of the image. To see the whole layout you have to click on it.
