Hi
I have tried planting cucumbers between the corn . I had mixed results .
The raccoon didn't touch the corn, but my cucumbers didn't grow as well
...
I have also tried planting zucchini between the corn , it didn't stop
the raccoon at all .
You could try planting pumpkins between the corn .
Like stand-up comedians, timing is everything . You want to have pumpkin
vines all over your corn but not before the corn is tall enough so it
doesn't get smothered by the vines .
The reason cucumber and pumpkin work to stop the raccoon is because the
raccoon hate walking on the prickly leaves and vines .
Good Luck

P.S. I'm still experimenting on this technique . I'm still trying to
figure out how to time everything just right .
