Looks like your farm is really coming along nicely. The meals you were preparing with the eggplant looked delicious. Maybe a cooking video featuring that recipe? Take care.

🤔 I like that idea!

Add some Moringa trees! Also, coconut trees, we have both on Oahu... maybe some bees, and replace the sugar with honey. Also maybe soursop trees! Bread fruit etc..

Love this! Thank you for showing us your land and plant growth there. You’re doing a great job!

Such good material in every video. Your honesty is heartwarming, and the way you show your lives make it seem so relatable even here in Kansas.

Your place looks amazing. Its great to see your abundant food forest from a far. The drone Arial pic is a great vantage point.

you guys are seriously amazing! I wish I could live off grid!

Thank you for the nice words :) Living off grid is cool, if you can't do it full time you can try getting out on a camping trip ... Similar living 🤙🤙

Wow love this video thank you! We are looking to extend our garden so this was sooooo helpful!

The shot of you Paulina in front of the lilikoi vines is beautiful! Great video as usual. :)

I am so inspired by watching you guys!! Hope to live a similar way in the near future!! ❤️

You two are absolutely cute😄. Those sweet potatoes are making me salivate...and they are heathy as well....I know that when Josette and I make it out there we are going to go thru that learning curve and eventually get to a point that we can actually fulfill our dietary needs from our yard..until then....I sometimes digress with.....donuts..I always look forward to seeing your videos...this one was excellent in many ways...I like the wide views of the planting’s on your land...it’s impressive..thank you for sharing your experiences both good and bad🤙

Thanks for explaining how the support works...

I Love your videos! I'll be moving to the Big Island this Fall so your videos are very helpful.

I grew up on a farm and i recall my grandfather used to plan casava, yuca, and yautia, taro every month to stagger crops throughout the year. yes there are certain times to plant certain crop but living in the Caribbean made it convenient for this plan.

I am planning to move to the big island and live off grid too. I learned a lot from your post and I look forward to seeing more. I love zucchini and I know that I will be planting a lot of them. Best wishes and keep up the good work.

Love this couple! 💖

Wow.. I’m so impressed. What a great place. Fruit year round that would be awesome. Lots of veggies for me not much fruit yet. Beautiful life..!! Have a fantastic day you two..!!

You two are great!

Mike, you can also eat the taro stem. Just peel the outer layer of skin then chop into small pieces, boil until tender, add coconut milk. If you want add some of your Tongan Spinach, beans, and other veggies. Add the other veggies when the Taro stem is started to get soft coz it takes time to cook. Season with salt and other spices. Yummy soup.

I’m wanting to start growing them. For now I purchase the leaves and make Luau, which is pretty much just the leaves in water cooked on low heat for 4 to 5 hrs, then add coco cream. It’s amazingly delish, nutritious and choke full of minerals, my body craves it and is so satisfied by it. No sting when cooked that long. Also, I hear there’s a type of taro that the leaves mustn’t need to get cooked so long. I need to do a lil research on that. Two Qs for you guys: What’s your altitude? Where do you get your mulch? Hilo transfer? BTW, I ended up using the soil source you suggested on your how to plant trees vid, and it’s smashing. Great soil, great source, thank you!

Boil any part of taro or you'll regret having an itchy throat. Taro no Matter which kind has a natural defense mechanism. No such thing as gardening problems with taro plants. Only spreading them around the island bring tiny fire ants Fire ants are always on taro.

When we dozed our driveway every 20 feet on both sides we had a guy with an backhoe dig down 4 feet or so. We then dug out the rocks and built walls around the holes back filled with good organic soil. For 30 years most of the 120 different trees are still growing great and we hardly ever fertilize.

@@OffGridHawaii How difficult is it to dig the land. I have heard of blue rock, needing explosives for digging pools, wells or septic tanks that would cost upward of tens of thousands for each just starting. I figured if its that difficult to dig, how difficult is it to dig for plants? My mental visual is that the topsoil is softer and below it is hardened lava rocks the further down you go, how does rooting structures get effected? Are they typically sprawling and not often deep? Thank you for the inspiration.

You might want to consider the work of philosopher farmer Masanobu Fukuoka. Clay seed balls. For your potatoes you might consider videos using larger sacks/garbage bags above ground. Japanese mountain yam farmers plant seedlings almost horizontally in areas with shallow soil. This might work with cassava. Copper gives slugs a shock. Might be useful in lettuce production. Have you heard of piezoelectric generators? Thank you for your effort and positive examples.

I just discovered you guys today! I love your vibes, your growth, & what you have done with the place. I just got a few acres in Pahoa & will be heading out next month. Maybe we can meet! :)

Love watching your videos. Latest planting at my place is Marang grown from seed.

Build a swale system flowing down towards a chinampas system, fill any pond or system you mean not to allow to drain with ducks which will create a permeable barrier over time buying gleeing the bottom layer with organic matter mixing with the manure, or you could use a 1m of clay which will also create an excellent barrier, then create trellis nets over your chinamp[as systems and collect the fruits that you can plant like passion fruit, grow plants on the edges and surface of the system and also introduce fish and cray fish eventually, great source 0of protein and fats plus you’ve got all your fruit veg and herbs, that’s a high quality dirty right there. There’s so much more you could add! Can’t wait to have my own land.

We grow citrus and tomato’s peas beans passion fruit grapes kiwi here in Washington state

growth some bitter melon , winter melons , asian sponge gourd, asian sweet potatoes, they kinds really fast in couples month, then you have alot to stir fry

Aloha, love the channel! Grew up on Oahu but love BI. Lived in Singapore for many years and in Malay and Indonesian cuisine they also make use of the cassava leaves in cooking as a green. It's really delicious! Each household has a different recipe and the Wiki link for you below: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daun_ubi_tumbuk It's amazing to see many of the same plants and ingredients (native or through various introductions from S. America, other parts of Asia, etc.) available in SE Asia. Lots of places in peninsular Malaysia also reminded me of Hawaii, might be a fun trip to scout some new ideas if you haven't been :)

Hi, I'm Jennifer from the Sunshine Coast of BC Canada🇨🇦, I love your food forest. Good job 👍When are you planting coffee plants? You have lots of herbs to make yummy tea. Have a beautiful day.
