You plant some corns. 2. When they are 30cm high, you add soil to the stem and plant some beans in that soil. So they can climb up on the Cornplant. And around that you plant Melon, Pumpkins, Etc etc 3. When you've harvested corn, you also kill the beanplants. Because when you've cleaned where you've planted the corns, you are going to plant beans again. 4. Plants dead? No problem! Beans leave Nitrogen in the soil. So in that soil, you plant some Tomatoes. And we also plant a herb that give better taste to the tomato and with help from that herb, there won't be insects in the area. I don't know it's name in English. That's the tip I had for you.
