The running joke around here is that they all are "one of the best". That said, I have a row of manzano in the yard.

Magic is a typical Rookie assumption, but assomite is not a Pixie Dust and there is no magic grass.

There is however good soil management practices which does include using green manure, these techniques have been in use long before :ha: you invented agriculture.:ha:

I had the "apple banana" years ago, but it was only recently that I learned they are called Manzana bananas.
