What would be the most productive use of this North-facing area? Semi-shaded by Elm trees.
Ginger and mint should grow well. Paw Paw may be okay. I understand some of the berry family grow well in shade too (I don't grow berries).
Choko (Chayote) may grow well if allowed to trail over the tanks to get some sunlight - keeping the roots in the moist shade.
Perhaps the biggest challenge is the elm, with its root system as a competitor.
