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.

Try azomite straight up, bananaboy recommends it.
Straight Azomite and nothing else, works better and the results are incredible so far for me.

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:
Here's a few links to help get you started, Good Luck Rookie

I had the "apple banana" years ago, but it was only recently that I learned they are called Manzana bananas (http://ineverknewbutnowido.com/snippets/tag/food).
