Hi, approximately where are you located on the Big Island and what is your elevation? Enjoy your patient presentations and careful descriptions. Do you do farm tours there? Thanks, Bill

had oyu thought of Tamarix for chop and drop?

be great if you could list the names of the plants in your videos:)

hw do you spell the Namwa bananas?

ua-cam.com/video/9BQMhaYsDKU/v-deo.html

you maybe intered in this channel

does irrigation just lead to surface rooting?

you said about mongoose in another video,why dont you expadite them there not native and a pest!!!

are you saying Gliricidia🤔

your drip line comes from mains water or you have something like 4000 ltr water tank that you collect rain?

why did you pick that name ,curious

why are all your Red draceana so spindly none seem to have branched out?

if you can grow Compfrey you should plant loads more ,one of the best plant teas going

i Love it when they say goverment funded😂,there no such thing its tax payer funded!!!

looking goood

Glycosmis pentaphylla/aka gin berry.Sophora chrysophylla Nitrogen fixer and native.Coprosma ernodeoides, native bedible berries though very small ,you do need male and female plants

also im not sure if it would work on all grass species but the annual/Rhinanthus is parasidic on a lot of grasses thus weakeing and slowing down once you cleared /mowed.just a thought.not much too lose and something maybe to gain

what about species of pine that will over time increase the acidity of the soil in those more wild places and help with wind protection🤫

what about Kennedia as a ground cover,know as running postman?Also fixes nitrogen

Malabar chestnut can be struck with cuttings in case you didnt know:)

you get any mildew issues with growing comfrey?

have you planted any metrosideros?

how do you cut that thick grass brush cutter or scythe:)and does constant mowing eventually weaken the grass?

great space

Amazing food forest you have in there my friend

I guests they should have more information about the oil. How, why and what it actually suppresses or kills. About a week; I killed my punkins with neem oil. I followed the instructions and it wasn't the first time I used the oil. It was fine before. I noticed the leaves and flowers were a bit smaller, but healthier. But the punkins are kind of fungi in nature. You can see by the fast they grow and how they do it. In my opinion; the giant punkins are not too compatible with neem oil. Also, they were attracting plenty of pollinators previously. After the oil application; the few coming wouldn’t stepped on the flowers. I never saw so many different pollinators over a single set of plants, not even in Lavenders or other flowers.

How's everything? I know you say you have wind problems and this weekend must have been particularly windy. I got some rain. Wind knocked over a few things. All in all I'm still in one piece. Could have been worse.

Wow congrats on the peanut breakthrough! Your Envira Caju looks good, should fruit soon. Mine fruited this year and the fruit was... interesting. Let me know how you like it when yours fruits.

Aaww, you could have given those flowers to your wife😢. They are so pretty❤ Question: Tithonia is a soil fixer? Only while chopped/dropped? Or also planting it? Thanks in advance ❤

can't remember you mentioning these... chrysophyllum imperiale - gorgeous tree with tasty fruit mammea americana kwai muk dovyalis caffra ficus auriculata - there’s a variety that will ripen without pollination, taste like strawberries butia capitata (jelly palm) spondias tuberosa (and other species) davidsonia pruriens - sour fruit but beautiful tree garcinia luc’s garcinia russell's sweet pitomba (eugenia luschnathiana) syzygium malaccense (mountain/malay apple) saw your comment regarding durian, here are the gateway drugs... durian ice cream -> durian smoothies -> frozen durian -> fresh durian (bsf premium quality) -> other fresh durians

The trees you planted in the pukas look really good. It can be tough to keep the grass from devouring your plants. Do you use the county compost? If so, do you get it delivered? And for cinder, do you haul that or get a big delivery? I’m at that stage where I can start planting and was wondering how you managed that.

might want to keep some bamboo in pots, and as they grow, divide them, sticking some in the ground and leaving some of the division in pots to be divided in the future.

Kudos to you for having a plan to deal with all that guinea grass. For small weed encroachment I use pond liners to kill things off, then hand removal. I've done this for small amounts of cane grass and wedelia. If you were to do this, even if you can't remove all the roots, it might give the other things you're planting an edge so they can get tall and shade out the guinea grass a little?

Looking good

‘Ilie’e would be awesome

I just want to say, in 2024, thank you for highlighting our need to respect indigenous practices and values more. A comrade shared a holistic homesteading book with me and I immediately jumped to the permaculture and they credited 2 Australian men for coming up with the word permaculture and its ethics....I will be showing this video to share how incorrect that statement is.

Aloha ahiahi, I really like growing pigeon peas. They are a perfect multipurpose plant. Nice Breadfruit Tree

How many seeds in one hole when you plant them.

Good thing you decided against the Wedelia. It is such a pain, and would definitely takeover.

Rollinia is supposed to be a water guzzler, i know mine sufflers whenever there isnt consistent rain. Ive only gotten once small fruit from my 3 yr old tree. Question: What tree has been your best producer?

Looks good, next time I’m there it would be cool to get some new aerial photos to compare the progress.

Do you put cardboard or mulch on top of the post-tarped-guinea areas, so that seeds underneath dont start to germinate? Or does tarping essentially sterilize the soil from those weed seeds, so you can put stolons of the perennial peanut right into the dried out weeds/guinea grass and use that essentially as growing medium? Or do you rake out all that material.. curious what your process is to move from tarping to turning it into perennial peanut area. Thank you for sharing your experience!

The drooping banana stalks make it easier to chop down racks! Nice rabbit enclosure too. Nice Z1 tour, looking forward to Z2.

Anything that attracts ladybugs is a win

Great to see what’s going on. Where do you get your plants?

Honestly, used Neem oil +soap+water 4 days ago for the first time ever: Neem oil killed my two young grapevines, one Zucchini plant and made my plum tree looking very sad, returned neem oil back to Amazon and I hope this product is band coming to the US.

Looks so good!

Nice, grreat tips. I have started 200 of them in my orchard this season.

I’ve watched your videos since you started and it inspired me to get land and start a food forest. But it’s awesome to see the progression not only of the food forest but the design changes as well

Potassium. High potassium like a 0-0-50 will get you wonderful flowering. Potassium sulphate which contains 5% sulphur your trees will love it. Organic.
