In fact, the American-Indians had just such a planting method called "3 Sisters" where Squash, Beans and Corn were combined for their abilities. This is still a great sustainable agriculture technique.* Squash can grow atop shallow compost piles. This serves a variety of functions including less turning because of the deep, fast growing roots of the squash which also help to aerate the pile. Also, the large leaves prevent weeds from taking over in these passive piles. In addition, the squash take up the extra nitrogen and reduce runoff. This is also a permaculture technique, by the way.
