I planted a few coconuts on my lot. Planted them in some loose lava not very thick maybe a few inches... They took off and did great,.. however one did blow over in a windstorm. I thought I'd have to cut it up into pieces and plant another, but to my surprise, in 2-3 weeks, it started to grow upright again. Now it's growing just as good as the rest of the trees and even the last wind storm it made it ok.
I want to plant some lemon trees that I started from seeds, and my plan is to make 3x3 planters out of old scrap 2x4 and some old plywood (about 3' hight). Fill with topsoil ... Let the plant take off, and hopefully it will dig down in time breaking up and getting it roots into some of the cracks in the lava. Dunno how well my idea will work but, probably better than using old tires.
