When I bought my place in HPP the middle 1/3 of the acre had been ripped and rolled and then covered withstone and finally done with black cinder, red cinder and drain rock.
We noticed right away that we didn't have mosquitoes, fire ants and coqui near the house.
The front 1/3 was lava covered with about 8 inches of soil and roots. It also had a pretty good sized banyan tree, a thicket of strawberry guava, autograph trees, and weeds.
We were able to save a lahala tree and 5 healthy Ohias. This was all hand cleared and now the lava is exposed.The trees were all cut down and fed threw a 14 inch chipper. I have huge piles of wood chips and sawdust.
The trees were full of fire ants but after a million bites they are gone because of lack of habitat.
The back 1/3 is covered with albizia trees that I poisoned and I am now going to have it ripped.
It's great to be able to sit out at night and enjoy the stars and not get swarmed with insects.
I spent 20 years living on an overgrown jungle lot and I sure like the cleared lot better.
