150 sq ft patch. My strategy may be more oddball than winning--but we'll see--the plan is that the hay will be the perfect food for enriching the soil. I already put four or five bales in this spot last fall, and now I've added more. Other than attracting voles, I think potatoes are a good crop to mix with the pumpkins. The potatoes will enjoy the shade later in the summer... and the pumpkin will not mind growing over onto (and grabbing) the potato vines. And I will enjoy having an understory of food rather than pernicious weeds... unless the voles eat all of them. Please--email me if you know how to get rid of voles. Thanks!
