I planted some corn like two weeks ago. It is coming up now. How long do I wait to plant the beans I wanted to plant them so that they grow up the corn stalks? Also should the corn be thinner because of this method?
How long or big before I plant the beans to go up the corn?

Beans dont like cold soil so after your soil is 65-70 degrees

Beans grow pretty fast, if your soil is the recommended temp (definitely wait for the right temp) then you should probably plant them in another week maybe 2.

I plan on doing some of this myself and have read that the corn needs to be at least a foot tall before planting beans next to them to grow UP the cornstalks.

This is my big plan as well. I just did some research through one of those 'help you plant' programs and it appears in my raised bed I can try 14 stalks or corn, 6 pole beans and 2 Cantalopes in my one bed. There is even room, limited room, but enough for me to plant 4 canedula plants to help keep some bad insects away from my corn.
I may have to pull a couple of those stalks. But 10 stalks seemed like a good pollination number. I know no matter where I looked or whom I asked, you have better luck with corn the more you plant. They like to be in rows of 3 minimum.
