In the warm tropical climate of the Big Island (especially in Puna where our annual rainfall is 120+ annually,) handling garbage and compost is a serious matter. We HAVE to empty the kitchen compost container EVERY day, nor you let garbage accumulate either. AND, it rains every day.
So, I hired this cute contractor and la'au lani (chief of the woods) to build a garbage enclosure off the west and back end of the house. I appreciate Phil's capabilities at seeing what needs to be done and not just doing it, but doing it well! In a couple days I will be off to Kona side for a few days swimming with the dolphins at meeting friends and I'll just bet it will be PAU (done) when I get back. MAHALO Phil!
PS We are not "accumulating" compost as we are using it up as fast as we can get it onto the pile. In fact, it is not uncommon to find banana skins, lilikoi rinds and pineapple peels still decomposing when we put it a new plant bed. But, it's all good!
