Hawai’i Island Homegrown Food Self-Reliance Workshop

Last Saturday (10/18) in Holualoa, Deb and i attended this workshop.  I gave a half-hour talk on Local Chicken Feed, basically summarizing what’s in my chicken notes.  It was great fun, people really liked my talk and i learned a lot also, about fruit and low-maintenance perennial food crops.  It was a sold-out crowd of around 80 people:

We got cuttings from 7 perennial crops (Cassava, Chaya, Katuk, Moringa, Okinawan Spinach, Pacific Spinach aka Edible Hibiscus, Sissoo (Brazilian) Spinach).  I planted them in my garden to see if any will grow here.
