This is a YouTube video, and I pulled out some good ideas from the comments: Beans Corn Butternut squash The Aztecs, Mayas and many other peoples of the Americas always grew corn, beans and squash as a triad. The corn gives structural support to the beans while these help fix nitrogen in the soil. The squash maintains moisture in the ground while reducing weed competition. The nutritional value of the three crops is balanced with protein, carbs and vitamins. The three can be eaten young or let to mature on the plant for long term storage.

Potatoes: almost no work or money, 10x what was planted with the Ruth Stout method. Cover grass with old hay so grass dies, put potatoes in hay, get potatoes that grew. No fence required. Predators are mostly insects. m.youtube.com/watch?v=GlratwBT5OI
