That's kinda wild to hear about the corn because I've found corn to be one of the easiest crops to grow.

If you want to try again, these are the seeds I last used which had 100% germination and produced plenty of ears of corn.

I've also had a ton of luck growing corn in 5 gallon buckets with holes drilled in the side to allow air into the soil which keeps the roots from balling up (wasting energy that should go into growing ears). Used potting mix with a handful of lime and a handful of epsom salt, and topped the buckets with mulch to retain moisture.

If you're willing to try that approach, this was very similar to my system:
