Very true Rob. If you look around you will notice how plants grow naturely in nothing more the cinder. Even grass establishes nicely on a bed of red or fine dark cinders. As for the mulch you will have to check with the Hilo transfer station. Its my understanding that the chipper is shared with Kona. It is on this side for six months and on the west side for six months. Several months ago when I was down there the mulch was about gone but the pile that was ready for chipping was huge.
