Used Geoff's truck again today to take the garbage to that glorious edifice to the modern era, the Central Maui Landfill, and also dropped off 10 times the amount of waste engine oil for (recycling)as you are allowed.
Had hoped to fill up with Maui Earth Compost for the return trip but they don't have their act together and couldn't sell me any. So, I cruised into Kahului thinking we might find some barrels but they didn't have any of those either... Feeling a little bit defeated, I put more gas in Geoff's truck and bought an Australian Rules Football shirt (North Melbourne 'Roo's) for Lorinda. Stopped in Haiku and picked up woodshavings and sawdust from Vanover cabinets and some hibiscus prunings for mulch from Joans.
After lunch I made a deal with Malte for a truckload of the compost sand/mix that he has had sitting at his place for 6 months, and I hauled it over here and distributed it about the various stations. So, at least our plant propagation regime won't be interrupted for this next little period.
I worked with Brooke for a little while, laying down carboard around the edges of our pennyroyal groundcover nursery area... She and Susan worked at this and that I guess, Susan drained some rain barrels in the gulch, and planted more sweet potatoes by the pond in the gulch...
