Make your own compost. With the climate, it will be easy and you will know what went into it.
Six weeks ago, someone posted a free manure note on a bulletin board, possibly at an organic restaurant facing the bay in downtown Hilo. As a tourist, I didn't really pay much attention. What was notable was the free delivery of any quantity, so I assumed it was a dairy. When you see any livestock anywhere, the owner has manure. Some places will have a tractor to load it into your truck or trailer. Go to Gardenweb.com for composting and regional/Hawaii information. The local county extension agent will have good info too.
