Good topic for planning. My Dad got the most out of his south side Chicago backyard garden. He heavily fed it with buried carp he had caught and horse manure he picked up on drives to Indiana, just across the state line from us, he knew of a riding trail and would take a shovel and put it in his trunk. His best space saving idea which worked great is sweet corn, he only had about a dozen stalks but he put his cukes in with the corn and trailed the vines up the cornstalks. Worked great.
Buried fish heads and the, 'Three Sisters Planting' is a Native American thing. I've done it with my boys in their younger years when they'd still listen to me as I imparted my vast knowledge to the little ingrates who ate me out of house and home, 24/7/365. ;)
