Has anyone planted the three sister (corn,green beans, and squash) using
the Native American method?

I tried it and won't do it again. The squash will grow rampantly under
the corn and it's impossible to harvest the corn without having to step
on the squash vines. Production of the squash wasn't too great either.
Getting into the corn patch to pick beans was a hassle also. This year
each will have it's own separate growing area. I like to hill up the
corn due to high wind problems here and it's nye impossible with squash
and beans inter planted with the corn.
