Please help, Looking for info about Glenwood
#3
i live about one mile from there. we have deep soil, a few feet deep. in fact this area is one of the oldest lave flows on mauna loa, about 10,000 years old (see hawaii geologic map).

i think soil (as most all soil here) is from volcanic ash. you might need a jack hammer to get through the roots of existing vegetation.

solar panels will be of some use. it's relatively rainy around here. it also depends on your sky view, which along the highway there is not very much - not sure about your lot

probably not so many lava tubes - as the flows are so old and buried. were not really on any faulting zone either. coolest features would probably be watersheds, which are significant due to the age of the area. (although not very significant compared to waipio valley or kauai)

not sure about the water table. rainwater catchment is very practical.

most homes are modest affairs, due to the small lot sizes.
