Thanks Rob, JoAnn and I have been here only 2 years come December, and yeah, I get that dirt with too much rain isn't fun in any climate. I am actually looking for an overall mix of about 10-15% cinder to whatever else I can find, Hamakua or other. I will be mixing that with about 20% mulch for a better "soil" like substrate to plant in. I don't have all rock, but I don't have dirt her either. I am looking to build a walking garden that is mix of food and decorative plants. I want to use the guild and perennials techniques of permaculture, Raised beds for our backs, and cemented decorated paths for getting to and from the guilds and the animals we have for food.
Once I find a source of soil in bulk I'll add amendments to it to keep the rain from being to much of a pest. I do want this Hawaii experience to be as muck free as possible.
