on rainfall? TIA
Howdy,
First I have been reviewing the thread and found it to be pretty informative so thanks for getting it started.
Now I am not sure about 6 and G but I was out at my property on 9 between E and D on 28 Feb and 1 Mar and it rained on me almost the whole time. Talking to some folks that live on my road this would not be representative of the whole of H.A. and as our properties are likely seperated by a good mile and a half may not reflect what your property received. However, I was told that my area is a tad bit dryer, so that may be good for you.
I have a few question for you as you sound like you are a little further along doing some things that I want to do as well. Namely plant prior to moving out for good.
1. Where did you get your soil from? ( I found Puna Rock near Keaau and have a good initial impression.)
2. Did you make any local hires that you can recommend?
3. Tool and Truck rentals?
4. Did you have a place to stay on your property or did you rent in Hilo or nearby?
Take care and thanks for any update.[8D]
