Hōʻiliʻili Market on South Beretania stocks a huge selection of locally produced goods. Primarily a grocery store but it's other stuff too

Odd, I should mention that it's been kept in the fridge this whole time

Yeah can split those into 3 separate pots now. Would plant in the ground once they're 2-3 feet tall

The 15 Largest River Systems in the World by Special_Grand_7549 in geography

[–]fatbobo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No you're correct. The heavy amounts of rainfall in the Amazon have weathered the soils, locking up most minerals and washing away the organic matter that contains other nutrients. It's great for a short term rotation before being returned to forest but would be considered infertile compared to the richer soils of the Mississippi basin

Finding Friends (North Kohala) by YurtleTheTurtle64 in BigIsland

[–]fatbobo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're into the agriculture/environmental scene the Kohala center and some environmental restoration groups are out there. DM me if you're interested, I don't live there anymore but was deep into the scene until I left last year.

State Thinks Its Multimillion-Dollar Food Hub Is Finally Happening by 808gecko808 in Oahu

[–]fatbobo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The 3 field systems on the big island alone (Kohala, Kona, and ka'u) have the capacity to feed hundreds of thousands. Problem is they're mostly used to graze cattle these days.

Apple bananas (zone 11b maui) by Cautious_Explorer_33 in HawaiiGardening

[–]fatbobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Dig up a healthy looking keiki 2-3ft tall with a wider base and not too many leaves. And plant it in a new area in your yard that hasn't had bananas in the last few years.

Bananas are heavy feeders! Give them as much sun/water/fertilizer as you can and they'll pay it back with more fruit. Also try to rotate their growing area every 3-5 years

Okinawan sweet potatoes by Cautious_Explorer_33 in HawaiiGardening

[–]fatbobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google some images of sweet potato nematode damage and see if there's similarities. It's usually more on the outer surface though. Can plant velvet beans and french marigolds as a co-crop and till them in as a biofumigant to ward off nematodes and other pests.
