Aloha Fellow Sustainable Advocates and Farmers alike! My name is Ikaika Gante, I am a High School History Teacher from Honolulu, Oʻahu. I have been growing food since I was a boy and have had many opportunities volunteering in loʻi and gardens across Hawaii. My family had a māla (garden) at our home in Honolulu, but our real art was fishing. We lived a half sustainable lifestyle I suppose supplementing a lot of what we ate by gathering from the ocean and our garden. My lineal connection to Hāloa (kalo) as a Hawaiian has always inspired me to test my own ability to constantly observe my plants and their environments and get a better understanding of living sustainably.
Make sure!! you add equal parts of Brown Sugar or Blackstrap Molasses or else it will activate the LAB and you will have a disaster of a mess to clean up, it is ok if you use a bit more over, as long as its completely saturated with sugar
@@Userunknown0208 Depends on how much LAB you're making, as long as it's equal parts brown sugar to LAB you will be good, a visual observation of total saturation is when the sugar no longer dissolves in the LAB solution, the LAB after its saturated will be a syrup consistency, if you're worried about under measuring your sugar, it's always better to add more sugar, you just never want to be under weight because it can become extremely active
Aloha from Cleburne Texas .Iam from waipahu.I been in Texas over 20 years.I have a tree farm nursery here . I bought some taro from a local grocery store its growing in container . Next spring like pump up the production. Love your videos.
Mahalo, harvested my Lenalena that was given to me. Had to search this variety since this is the first time I saw a yellowish taro. Also wanted to learn how others prepared and ate it.
Mahalo for sharing Braddah. Please give an update on the Lehua ‘Oni‘oni‘o I bought one and was told it was Lehua ‘Oni‘Oni‘o but can’t find much online about the variety so I like see how it looks when fully grown
I bought some hulis from Oahu and Kauai. I can tell U dat now dat the plants are growing a couple months. I'm unsure as to what the sellers sold me. On Big Island I did buy Maui lehua, lehua maoli, and was given over 30 by J. Konanui in 1995. I've come to the conclusion to just grow taro/kalo for food becuz we may need it incase the worst happens for the Islands being isolated and having 90% of our food imported from elsewhere. so grow kalo/taro. mahalo.
Aloha! Mahalo for your video I just got my first huli ( Ula Ula Kumu , Piikea and Apuwai ) and I'll start my first growing in the next couple days. I'll be growing them dry land style like this so I hope it grows good. I'll also be doing it in 20 gal pots due to having a gravel yard. I dont have too much knowledge in growing so trying to find info and this was a great start. E Malama Pono!
thank you, I got gifted some manini Lenalena and tried looking for how to use em. only found your video! couldn't find on kupuna kalo. ty for your help
