Very interesting everything you tell us friend. Without a doubt, taking advantage of the land that we have available close to home is an excellent idea. In fact, I have also been doing it at home and I have seen the result.
In my case, I have grown papayas just like you, but also bananas, yams, mangoes, and I prepared a part to plant chili peppers.
Without a doubt, I highly recommend that each person take advantage of the available land.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
