Yes IF we went Nanawale, we were planning on going the permit route. Hopefully not if we go Fern Forest.
Anyone grow tropical corn/maize, or winged beans? Maybe the two together (beans vining up the corn)?
I'm kinda zooming in on high elevation forest farming, a lot like the guy from "sensible sustainability," I think his name is Jay. The crops would be:
Sweet potatoes (just ate some purples from Kauai, wife and I loved em)
Taro, upland style
Taro, wetland style (if I make a pond). I do like poi.
Tropical maize planted with winged beans
Bananas
Plantains
Papaya
Avacado
Guava. Maybe it will fruit, maybe not.
Pineapple
Oranges (haven't picked a variety yet)
The previously mentioned Apple that works.
I'll plant the highest altitude breadfruit variety I can find, and hope for the best.
If I got one of the small lots, I'm thinking I'll have to clear it completely and use every spot of it. With 3 acres in Fern Forest, I can just clear out garden spaces here and there, and leave most of the trees alone (except Albizia, which has gotta come down).
