We also planted a bunch of vetiver grass on the Hilo side of the pool, that we got from Rob and Mike. We're really excited about this grass because we have so many erosion prone areas, and this grass is supposed to be good for it (and it's sterile! and easy to propagate!)

The palms look awesome! It's amazing, the variety of palm trees out there!! Are any of them edible productive - the betel nut maybe?
I did some vetiver grass planting in Zimbabwe, it was hard work, but it really made a huge diff. to the areas it went in! WAY less soil loss, esp. on the river banks and in storm channel areas. Great job you guys!!
