Living mulch is the best answer, however I am getting gorilla hair redwood for my mulch. Just picked up a couple yards of it. Mulch is the most important thing outside of nutes/soil, sun and genetics IMO. It helps the micro heard stay healthy, and doesn't create a crust on top of your soil that the water likes to run off.
O by the way, I finally in my new spot!!!!! Got several dozen plants enjoying the nor cal sun ATM. Maybe in a couple months I will have plants big enough to post in this thread. Until then, I got lots of work ahead of me. Good luck on your season everybody.
I learned about the "gorilla hair" this year. Good luck with your spot, May the water be with you!
In other news, since we're talking about growing large plants, what about a sprayer to do the job?? So easy to use this thing. Sorry if I already posted this pic somewhere, but it might be interesting anyways.
Oh and p.s. giant hash plant
