This group is for the purpose of learning and teaching self sufficiency gardening/farming for people on the "Big Island" of Hawai'i.

Our purpose is to join together and help each other develop some
level of essential food production in our own yards and farms.

There will also be posts relating to print and/or online
publications that will be of interest to all of us who
are cultivating edible crops for home or commercial use.
Members are encouraged to post information that they
find of interest to the entire group.

The moderator will also post weather bulletins when out of the
ordinary weather conditions are expected.

Note that members can barter, sell or trade products and/or services
on this group. We all, from time to time, require help
that we cannot do and what better way to let other group
members know that you have some experience to share on
a barter or legal tender basis.

Membership is open to all residents of the
"Big Island" of Hawai'i and nearby islands and there are no fees of
any sort required to join or submit your own questions or
answers to questions posted by other members. If you do not
live in Hawai'i, this group may not be of much interest but
you are welcome to join if you are into tropical gardening/farming
as we do it here in the Islands.

Aloha
