What does squash do

Ground cover, reduces evaporation and weeds. Beans climb the corn.

Can only do this with the hardy types that will dry on the vine, tough starchy corn and winter squash like pumpkins though. You try picking squash that will rot, sweet corn, or green beans in a mountain of foliage and vines you'll just end up ruining the whole thing. Can only harvest at the end of the season.
