I tried it last year. It works so-so. I planted about 8 bales with stuff.

It took forever for it to take off, but when it did it was loaded with tomatoes and peppers and pumpkins. It grew until a hard freeze>>>>>when it got colder I would cover it at night and it continued to bear until about the middle of November. Even when it was a hard freeze, I found lots of tomatoes still there and safe under the pile of leaves that had gathered from a tree and weeds and stuff.

It was Okay. The problem is the weeds it let in it's wake>>>>>LOTS of them!
