That's a bit like the "Three Sisters" concept which is Corn -Beans-Squash. Try it out, it should work and since they grow in a container, give them a bit of natural fertilizer each month at of after full moon! Here's to success!!!
Yes, you have to figure something out with regards to fertilizer, a little every month will go a long way. Could you keep a pet rabbit or a pet chicken or a couple of quails to use their manure?
Yes, growing 2 or 3 crops very closely together and one might not get enough sunshine. Maybe you can cut a few old leaves off the bigger plants to let more air and sunshine in?
I just threw things together this year. Adding the peas to the corn, I was thinking the peas would take off much quicker than the corn. That wasn't the case.

There was actually peas in there too, but the corn blocked the sun for the peas.

I have a wild rabbit that isn't helping.
