   I am glad you said that.  I planted the corn and beans in the same hole
and the squash at the nine intersections in a 4*4 sqrft bed.  I water every
day as the soil contains a lot of coal ash and drains all to well.  The
water is a compost tea.  I have 3 acres of grass to provide the greens.
With a few trees and neighbors to provide the browns.  So I add a lot of
compost.
