Howsit guys. I live in Hilo and stumbled upon your UA-cam channel in my UA-cam homesteading journey. I’m financing an acre in eden roc that I’m dying to start a sustainable life on. As you know, expenses here are high and income kinda low. My flame has been rekindled watching a few of your videos. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching all your videos. Maybe even meeting up one day. God bless. 💖
I like how when you said "when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade," and you started cracking up before you even finished saying it. Miss you guys!
Great Video! I know I am new to this but you guys are my speed and favourite! Keep doing what you are doing you make your videos so much fun and informative!
Beautiful tour and a lovely food Orchard i would love to take a tour looks beautiful i love the cherries looks great perfect for jellies and jams thanks for sharing .
Thanks for giving us so much info! We bought an acre lot in HPP. Would love to chat with you folks and learn more from all your experiences and now expertise! I’m super excited about the mulch…u know HPP IS ALL ROCK…
Want to say thanks for your videos. My husband and I just decided to buy some property on Maui so we can start growing. Looking forward to seeing more and hopefully we can fly over and check out your land sometime in the future.
LOL....gotta love Michael's homework for us,...."Tomorrow go and plant a tree!" You guys are so AWESOME but....this is part 2, clicked on the latter part, will be checking out the first part. AWESOME also ya guys have a li'l patch of native forest as well, greetings from Querétaro, Mexico! :)
Love the tour! I'm reminiscing on my Puna days. Isn't it amazing that you can have a backyard full of bamboo orchids, but on the mainland orchids are this exotic plant that you pay a lot of money for!
Aloha, howzit? You two are adorable! Would love to see an update. Lived on Maui for many years and would have loved to do what you're doing. Just keeping the grass/bushes hacked back is a full-time job in this microclimate. Would love to see an update. You both are so unaffected, it's refreshing in a culture which for some unknown reason seems to get high makamaka about itself. A hui hou!
Are your sure durian will fruit on wet side of the island? It needs a dry spell and lower humidity to set flowers. It takes 7 to 10 years from seed and quality variation from seed is big. You need a grafted var if you want to have good fruit.
There are plenty of durian on the Hilo side. The rain does not seem to inhibit there fruiting. You are right if you want a guaranteed good fruit of a certain variety grafting is best. But if you are willing to roll the dice some of the best durian on this side has come from seed.
What is the wet tolerant mango you are referring to? Sounds like a leiijiyo, stay green when ripe...slight tinge of pink. Many other mangifera have outstanding fruits and fruit well in wet climates...kasturi, wani, oderata...check em out.
Nice. We got ours from the green garden guy on UA-cam not sure the name of it he just claims that the tree they came from always has fruit no matter the rain.
Wow u guys have quite a few fruits growing that I don’t have but I think I have one u don’t have. Mamey Apple? So there’s that, hah. Just kidding. I want to buy some plants from u in the future. Hopefully before next year. Love all ur videos🤙.
7:05 That's what I am doing with section 3. I'm growing from seed and planting a lot of trees. The trees that survive will be the strong ones. Far from the house, you don't want something you have to baby.
Where are you all getting you calcium from, having a time finding it there. Also, any where can you find jack fruit seeds. Im in Mountain View area. love all the fruit trees, are you all going to sell any soon again?
Jakfruits splitting is not from wet weather as far as i can see...seems more like a need for fersĺtilizer that causes it or a susceptible strain...i have never heard that about zeeman though. I think you will have much better success than most because you actually fert your trees...
Love what you're doing but you might want to check to make sure all your plants are pono. Maybe get in touch with BIISC for lists of invasive flora and fauna. Good luck to you both.
Love the laid back nature of your presentations. Makes me feel like I'm in Hawaii. Paulina, you are sooo expressive and it cracks me up every time I watch you. Love the personality and I look forward to seeing more of it. Michael, the food forest is looking great! If you haven't yet, check out James Prigioni, Plant Abundance, and L2 survive. All are unique youtubers that use heavy mulching and wood chipping successfully, but in very different climates. Keep up the great videos from HI!
The Prigioni guy..in every sentence he ends it with a question mark? Annoying. Plant Abundance guy lives in California I think, so can’t really compare re: gardening in Hawaii.
Hi to Michael and Paulina from Arizona. Love your videos. Thank you for replying to my questions through email. You two are beautiful and cute. Keep posting. If you had a camping spots i.e. B&B I would be a frequent guest. Maybe a house sitting position? Haha. Keep me in your little black book . By the way I don't see a way to join Patreon.
Always look forward watching the vids you two make. We planted a couple abiu. I hear they come to fruit relatively quick.....two years or so....I will copy your email and keep you in mind🌈😃🤙

@@OffGridHawaii Not cool, hot and dry. Living on a tropical island with rich volcanic soil and regular rain showers... now that is a life of cool comfort and ease. My point is this, farming in such a place and sharing your experience amounts to nothing more than "look how great I have it" as opposed to sharing true permaculture insights with valuable how-to's sourced by your experience. What I see on you channel is farming and land management NOT permaculture. Do you even own Bill Mollison's book? Permaculture is more than a keyword or tag. An example in this video ( ua-cam.com/video/ecZomrxkn5A/v-deo.html ) on your channel with the ridiculous solution for maggots in the fruit. What would be the permaculture based solution? There are many more examples in your channel that are cringe worthy to anyone who has read just the first few pages of Mollison's work of genius. You shouldn't tag your channel and videos as educational when they are really about lifestyle and a farm. False advertising.

Thanks!
"We didn't discuss this" The look on Michael's face haha!
😇🌳
Durian is high fat fruit also. Those gauva look nice. I gotta hang with y'all some day. I stay Kalapana side.
Yes pretty high for a fruit I think around 30%
Aloha guys, coming over Saturday, finally starting excavation of my property on Monday😃. Mike lets get some surf 🤙🏽

Great video! Property is looking nice and the food forest is coming along. Do you happen to have any koa trees planted or on the property?
We planted one but it didn’t make it. 😢
miss your videos

Not yet. By next year we will have more then we know what to do with. 😆
Where are you all getting you calcium from, having a time finding it there. Also, any where can you find jack fruit seeds. Im in Mountain View area. love all the fruit trees, are you all going to sell any soon again?
I get the calcium at garden exchange. We still have some plants for sale, check out the description for details. 🤙🏽

gor your dragon fruit, try approach grafting additional root stock or bridge grafting.

Everything pono except for that autograph tree. 👍🏽

surinam cherry are purple almost black when ripe and really sweet.
The darker the berry the sweeter the juice. 😋 There are red varieties though that don’t get dark purple.
What you can do on Mangoes, is to change soil to more rocky or other kind of soil that retain less water, at least 2 meters
something similar to "avocanoes"
It’s not soil it’s the actual rain knocking flowers off.
@@OffGridHawaii :'( What a shame. If i read any solution, i will let you know! thanks for sharing

Awesome! Thanks for watching and good luck with the abius 🤙
jackfruit biggest tree fruit, pumpkin probably the biggest fruit overall
13:34 ... Have people stolen things from your property before? Crazy!
No not ours. It was kind of a joke but not really.
how is it going now 2022. Must be a jungle ?
It’s going really well :) thank you for asking. The jungle is still tame and manageable but definitely more productive 😎🤙🏾
@@OffGridHawaii a bushfire destroyed my orchard 3 years ago. And I have replanted . its growing great now
If u cut an inch from tips of those dragon fruit branches they'll produce more fruits, all over those segments
Nice we shall try that out :) do you grow dragon fruits?
if u can get calypso mango they have the longest season and my seedlingssurvived in my wet greenhouse over winter down to 0c
Where is your farm? I live in Leilani estates.
Somewhere in upper Puna
What no lanzones? Next to durian lanzones is the best plus you have volcanic soil which lanzones loves.
CHEERS
lmao at the ending :p
I❤️H
The very end..😂
😅🤷
@@OffGridHawaii love your videos! Makes living in Northern illinois a little more colorful! Lol
Are you, or are you planning to grow Moringa trees?
We have one in the ground and three in pots 😊 but we hope to get more spread throughout the property.
Check out akee fruit...another wonderful fatty fruit
alohaha, im lookin for dries strawberry papaya to buy and have sent to cali
pete kanaris , green dreams florida , he has youtube channel , lots about permaculture , his bases of his company , check it out if you have not already
it sounds like you have desert king var of dragon fruit.
Thanks!
Get Rosa mango it fruits in amazonian rainforest that is wet all year around.
👍🏽
Maximum fruit available in my country without dragon

It’s definitely NOT a ‘kob’ durian variety.
How can you tell?
Because unless it’s a genetic clone from a ‘Kob’ mother tree, it can’t be a ‘kob’ durian. Durian trees aren’t true to seed.
Yes of course. What we meant is the seed came from a kob.
