Bought Milestone today at Garden Exchange for $130 including tax.
We're going to use it so we can kill albizia on my neighbor's vacant lot. He cleared the beautiful ohia with a bulldozer back in 2007/08. Ever since, I've been spending my money and time trying to keep the endless supply of albizia knocked back. Was the bulldozing done by a clueless, mainland, absentee owner? No, it was done by a longtime HPP resident. I've been in touch with him numerous times, offering to help him clear HIS lot of HIS albizia. He has told me that I can clear as many albizia as I want off his lot. How generous of him! I just want to keep them knocked back BEFORE they come smashing into MY house.
There really needs to be an education program about what happens when you scrape a lot here, then do nothing with it - evidence all the storm-ravaged acre orchards of albizia on Maku'u. Better yet, there should be a legislative ban on bulldozing lots if you haven't pulled any permits to build on it.
Anyone had any luck in persuading neighbors to take responsibility for their own albizia??
