Hello friends, I have previously asked questions on this topic and have received wonderful suggestions and advice. Your inputs have led me to refine my thoughts and ask one more round of questions and I thank you in advance for your response.
Background: I own 1 acre in Hawaii Paradise Park. It is currently covered in Uluhe ferns (as a ground cover, not too many trees - 10th avenue #1613- Between Paradise Park Drive and Kaloli Dr). I Don't plan to build a house on it for another 5 years (I currently live on the mainland). However, I would like to plant trees on the land - coconuts, mangoes, other fruits, native trees, etc. I would like to plant the trees now so it can mature by the time I build and move there. I also know that the ground is really hard and rocky and it requires serious breaking/ripping to do anything. Given that I have the following questions:
Should I rip the entire 1/2 acres of ground that I plan to build on and plant on now - and then, plant the trees, put ground cover or plant grass or something now to prevent things form germinating on the cleared land?
-- Are there any pros and cons of doing that?
-- Are there any better alternatives that you would suggest?
Alternatively, should I hold off on ripping the ground till I build. For now, should I Just find a way to plant the trees. Would you have any suggestions on what would be best way I could go about doing that?
Thank you.
Kumar.
