It rained all morning again, so I spent a little while catching up on the bookwork. Confirmed my suspicions that we don't have much money to play with right now.
Lorinda and Lichen took Uzi to the vet since he had pulled off his splint when LL wasn't looking.
Justin, our new wwoofer turned up for his first day and after walking him around the property, or at least the third of it that we are trying to develop immediately, I set him to liquid fertilising the garden. It took him longer than I thought it would, but then the damn sprayer kept clogging and after we decided he should just use a watering can I think he was pretty thorough, and I told him to take his time and pick up fallen fruit, and pull weeds etc...
It freed me up to go ahead and prepare ground for bamboo plantings. We are going to have an awesome hedge of Guadua Angustifolia "less thorniensis", planted along the driveway, so it will protect a lot of the gulch from the trade winds, and the barn zone from bad konas. And of course we'll convert all the energy in those winds into awesome bamboo "timber".
Found a big old growth of pineapples under the glyricidia's that have been smothered by Nahiku grass for so long!
