@@danielnaberhaus5337 hi I think the red Mexican sunflower is more reasonable and less of a hassle long term, the yellow takes over and when you have a lot of trees and other things to chop and drop it gets to be pretty intense. I have a few friends who got involved with it and I think in hindsight they wished they had planted comfrey instead.
Yep, they are awesome and have tons of knowledge , esp someone that just relocated to the island. I am still faced with challenges, and still learning on my own

We are lucky here in New Zealand we get what is called forest mulch is when the whole tree including all the leaves so plenty of nitrogen mixed 😊
Nice!
Iwould dig a shallow swale across the accessway so water gets tipped off either end into vegetation so that would stop run off
What elevation are they at?
I believe 1100!
Looks like hawaiian acres or fern forest?
Or, for a laugh, " the problem is the plants...try covering them with a synthetic mesh.😂" Ha haha
What is cinder?
Cinder is a very porous volcanic rock.
At least to my knowledge
Where are they moving and why are they selling?
They are moving down the mountain where the soil is better for coconut trees. They are selling to buy the land down the mountain.
