The whole goal, of course, is to make us self sufficient agriculturally in the face of rising import/oil costs. I do believe the timing is right for this since it takes a real long time to develop gardening savvy, as well as prepare the soil (heavy red clay on much of Kauai). I think we need to be starting this now, which is what I'm doing on my property with a backyard garden. I was astonished to learn that in 1941, supposedly 60% of veggies were produced in home "victory" gardens. Amazing what we could do, when are minds are set!  |
Knock, knock....Helllloooo?? Anyone from Kauai, or any other Hawaiian islands still around and active on the forum? Since the most recent post was in 2008 it feels like I'm knocking on an old house with cobweb's that looks abandoned...
It looks like I'll moving to the islands from Los Angeles later this month, Kauai to be exact, and am interested in meeting up with members of the Ground Crew when I get there. In addition, maybe someone can give me assistance finding an intentional community, eco-village or possibly even commune where members are living self sustained, eco friendly lifestyles.
I need an inexpensive place to stay while I seek out permanent accommodation's as well. So, any advise, referrals or recommendations on temporary or long term housing will be much appreciated! Thanks...
