Great share! I've been there and done that the hard way. It's often worth the effort, but only if you love the process!
Just my suggestion. If you are doing plots like this and you cannot mow them easily - I would really suggest focusing on a fall blend.
Honey Hole from Antler Kings is a great BOB seed blend, you can add some oats/rye and youll have a killer small plot.
Clover is great but you will probably have to spray it, mow it, etc. Thanks for the share, I enjoyed MWW
My smallest cloverplot is 1/10 acre and it produces 2-3xs more food than the best fall plot I've ever grown.
