And here are Tim & Justin clearing and mulching more of the berm...

We have a a good sheet mulch down over most of the annoying berm now... We will have to stay on it and hammer any "nahiku" that pops out, and when our flats of peanut are well established whack them in and hope that they claim the berm before the grasses can reestablish! I think we have got it this time...

I had Tim do some aquaculture... he took some guppies out of the lower barn garden pond and put them in the white barrel we have catching water at the edge of the power shed/laundry, so as to eat any mozzies... He also harvested two more buckets of lilikoi, some of which he and Justin cut up for chicken fodder, and a good bucket of carambola's or star fruit. I believe the first harvest from that tree in the gulch...

After lunch we set off for town on various errands. Tim and Justin chilled at the Kava bar while Lorinda and I did banking and went to Del's where we scored on half priced industrial chicken food, and filled the biodiesel family car with biodiesel... Then it was onto Wailuku where Tim had business in the state building and Justin was directed to a "public breadfruit" tree... Lorinda and I got TB tests at the Wailuku medical centre so that we can qualify for tertiary edu. Lorinda is trying to get me into the Alternative Energy associate diploma... night school!

Then we raided the macadamia orchard and got about 50 pounds... awright!

Unfortunately the F250 on the side of the road had already had its solenoid fuel selector valve removed, so the vegie conversions still aren't going anywhere...
