This video made my husband want to move back to Molokai 🙏🏽Thank you for sharing
Great work guys, yip it's a labor of love. Thank you and many blessings
To live this way is the dream of my ohana (extended). Forced to live abroad, we created a plan to allow us to get back home to start a journey tending the aina soon. Resources like these are invaluable because they allow us to learn so that our dream may become real. Thank you for sharing your experiences and practices with us. Mahalo nui loa.
Always come back to this cause this is so beautiful mahalo for documenting!
Awesome methods for growing Taro, using organic matters to optimize fertilizations & maximum high quality growth. I sure would buy from your products.
Very excellent method for cultivating organic vegetables, fruits and livestock. Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing your knowledge.
This is inspired me to start my own farm here in Jamaica
God bless you auntie... the hell with roundup and Monsanto
Ochi: Your presentation brings back memories of what I remembered when I had the pleasure of our family visiting your farm many times. Ronnie
Wonderful documentary! Thank you.
Very nice video and loved the way it was explained and the country side what a wonderful place to live in. thank you.
You live in paradise! So beautiful! I envy you. There is a man you may want to find out more about because he farmed better than organic in the '70's. His name is Masanobu Fukuoka, "One Straw Revolution."
Great video. She knows what she is talking about. He on the other hand only has some book knowledge.
Great video, a testament to cover crops and soil management. A few ideas for you. To deter the bird species from eating seed after planting you could do like the airports and train your dogs to chase the birds out of the field. Eliot Coleman uses flame for weeds also but in order to maximize the propane use he came up with a push roller that puts a smaller flame close to the ground and figured out how fast to move in order to not just kill the weed but also the seed and root. Have you also considered using ducks to help control the snails? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
If you plant gandules (pigeon peas) which are delicious and full of good nutrients, the leaves put nitrogen into the soil; and no, they are not pigeon feed! Gandules are actually a favorite food in Puerto Rico and once planted, they yield for years! I love your gardens, especially the taro fields, and the soil looks so beautiful and rich! Watching the chickens, one of my favorite all time birds, was a real thrill! Please be good to the Nene geese and offer them your protection, as they nearly went extinct if it was not for an organization from England that was able to step in and take some to Britain, where they were able to breed them in order to save the species and reintroduce them back to Hawai'i! However, sadly, the giant Hawaiian nene did go extinct, due to careless human activity! Take good care of the Nene, as well as yourselves and the aina ( land ) Hawai'ina! With all due respect to lasker 31, I would not recommend using fire to control the weeds because you might harm the insects, even the beneficial ones, and we must respect their right to live in peace and harmony in the honua ( world ) with us! I did not know that ducks control snails, thanks for the advice, lasker 31, that's good to know!; I'm just wondering if the Nene and chickens do too, since the free wondering chickens eat just about anything that moves, crawls and flies ( no pun intended )! Good luck & Aloha nui loa to all the kanaka ( people ) of Molokai'i and the Hawaiian archipelago!
copied this one to take with me around the world. very well presented.
so inspiring!God bless you both and all your hard work. Organic farming is hard work but a nobler endeavor.
Totally!
Wonderful info.
