Re: How do I change the y-axis on an Excel chart from numbers towords. This will plot everything as zero values, since they are all text. You can fake it using one of these approaches: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Y_CategoryAxis.html. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/DotPlot.html. - Jon.
First you must keep in mind that all ears of corn have an even number of rows, never an odd number. All average ears have between 12 and 20 rows. Still, it's difficult to tell at a glance whether an ear has 14, 16, 18, or 20 rows.
Sweet corn spaced six inches each way will do just as well as it will with the rows three feet apart, and you get six times as much corn from the same area. Three rows of onion plants occupy a space only a foot wide, and son on with all the rest. Narrow paths separating crops of different sorts give you ready access.
