Gardening--Fun and Frugal! by: Cyndi Roberts Whether you are an avid vegetable gardener, a beginning herb gardener or just like to have a pretty yard, these frugal tips may help you save a little money! 1. Stale coffee and coffee grounds make great organic fertilizer. They provide many trace minerals and low, gentle levels of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. 2. Remember that a good soaking of water less often is better than a light sprinkling every day -- for veggies and for your lawn. 3. If your neighbor has a plant you particularly like, ask for a cutting, instead of going to the nursery and buying one. Maybe you could trade a cutting from one of your own plants. 4. To easily water a tomato plant, bury a bottomless coffee can next to the plant and pour the water into the can. This allows the water to go straight to the roots. 5. Plant marigolds in your vegetable garden. They will attract insects that eat aphids and other pests. 6. My husband bought some used carpet at a garage sale, cut it into wide strips and laid it down between the rows in our garden. Now we can pick peas with getting our shoes muddy. 7. Use grass clippings as mulch around your vegetable plants to keep moisture in and weeds out. Just don't use the clippings right after you have fertilized your grass or treated for weed control. 8. If you have access to them, pine needles make excellent mulch. 9. A natural, frugal garden pest spray: mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap and 1 cup of cooking oil. Use 3 tablespoons of this mixture to 1 quart of water and spray on plants. 10. In the herb garden, to keep plants like mint from taking over too big an area, put it in a clay pot and simply plant the whole pot! "He who plants a garden, plants happiness."

January 29, 2004 Waikiki to get more sand. The state of Hawaii is looking for a private contractor to pump 10,000 cubic feet of sand from a site 2,000 feet offshore to replenish the beaches in Waikiki. It is going be the largest replenishment of Waikiki beaches in over 30 years. About a foot of the beach has eroded every year since 1985. The receding sand has filled the reefs creating shallow water and changing the way the surf breaks. The $700,000 project is expected to begin in March and will take a month and a half to be completed. I'm excited to see the new and bigger beaches of Waikiki. In the paper someone was quoted as saying they couldn't stick an umbrella into the sand without hitting concrete after an inch. I thought that was an exageration, I've seen little kids burrow 3 foot manholes into the sand. The beaches were a lot smaller than I expected them to be when I first saw them. More sand means more room for more people and can only be a benefit to the tourism industry. Posted by James at January 29, 2004 12:17 AM Comments Posted by Ryan on January 29, 2004 10:17 AM : The sand on Waikiki beach has been replenished before, and it probably will always require sand be brought from elsewhere to maintain the "beach." It's the most artificial of all shorelines, and yet the most famous - kind of like Disneyland. I agree it's good for business, but for the environment? Probably not. I don't think that beach will be looking or smelling its best for a few weeks after the project. So take your postcard photos now! Posted by Albert on January 29, 2004 03:22 PM : Can't expect the tourists to go all the way out to Makaha to get really big "white, sandy beaches of Hawaii". Posted by Linkmeister on January 30, 2004 03:41 PM : Or worse, Albert, go to the neighbor islands! :) Posted by Sin on February 3, 2004 08:48 PM : Big beach on Maui has the best white sandy beaches and beautiful blue water. Watch out for the shorebreak though, it's almost as rough as Sandy's on a big day. Posted by Gaye on February 5, 2004 08:02 PM : The 1951 Hawaii Superintendent of Public Works Annual Report outlined the first Waikiki Beach "Development" Project. A rocky shoreline that stretched from the Elks Club to Yacht Harbour Tower, often at a 45 degree incline, was widened and flattenedto 150 feet of white sand. Among more capitalist and colonial impulses, people sometimes came to Waikiki in the 20th century to witness or experience its natural environment. One was the lengendary classic Waikiki ride all the way from Steamers Lane to shore. Another was the wide coral reef that provided local people with an amazing fishing ground. The conjunction of sand and flat reef enabled squid, lobster, moi, papio, and a range of reef fish to flourish. The artificial 'beach' drifted into the reef and filled in the squid and lobster habitat. It also sectioned off the surf so the classic Waikiki ride is gone, gone, gone. This drift was noted in the 1951 annual report after only five months after dumping in the sand. The exact language was "As we expected, there was some drift of sand, generally in the ewa direction, but the percentage is reported small." It is interesting that James, who even seems to know a bit of this history, still is "excited to see the new and bigger beaches of Waikiki". The reason? He states,"More sand means more room for more people and can only be a benefit to the tourism industry." So... let me see if I understand James properly. Benefitting the tourist industry is benefitting us? Like if I let the guy across the street pour concrete over my vegetable garden maybe he will pay me $3 an hours to be his parking lot attendant... say for the rest of my life. So that I can go to Safeway to buy the food that I once grew myself. Boy, I have never been more excited to see the beach widened. There is nothing I love more than slicing off my limbs half an inch at a time. Posted by James on February 6, 2004 12:48 AM : WOW! Concrete over your vegetable garden? More sand means more room for more people. Whether I'm living here or visiting I'd rather go to a beach with lots of sand than to one with very little. More room is what I would like to see on the Waikiki beaches so people have space to spread out. I only heard good things about Waikiki beaches getting more sand. I never heard any opposition or arguments against the practice. But I'm always willing to listen if anyone knows of negative effects. What has already been done over the last 80 years can't be helped now. Are we to let the beaches in Waikiki shrink back and disappear? There are a lot of big beautiful beaches all over Oahu and the other islands but do locals want busloads of tourists filling them up? I prefer Ala Moana Beach for it's size and clean water. It seems to have a balanced mix of tourists and locals alike. I like a lot of the beaches on Windward side but proximity is key for me, Waikiki and Ala Moana. The damage to the reef fishing ground from 1951 is done. I don't think extending the beach now is going to make a differance either way. And I hope the widening of Waikiki beaches does not result in the loss of any limbs. Posted by James on February 6, 2004 01:03 AM : Does tourism not benefit the state of Hawaii or the people living here? I thought it provided a lot of jobs and income for local families. I know it is not the only thing driving the economy here but I'm pretty sure they always make a big deal when Japanese or Mainland tourists drop a few percentage points. The Honolulu Marathon, the town of Hale'iwa and all the surfing competitions on the North Shore. And the streams of tourists pouring into Waikiki every single day just to spend their money. Do some people resent tourism and the whole scene here in Waikiki? Posted by Glen Miyashiro on February 6, 2004 09:36 AM : James -- "I prefer Ala Moana Beach for it's size and clean water." Excuse me, are we looking at the same beach? Maybe it's because you didn't grow up here, but Ala Moana Beach is nowhere near what I would call a good beach. Its only redeeming qualities are (1) easy access from town and (2) calm water for little kids to splash in. But the sand is low-quality imported stuff, the water quality is lousy, and the fish diversity is almost zero. I'll take Kailua Beach, or Waimea Beach, or Nanakuli Beach, any day over Ala Moana Beach. Posted by gaye on February 6, 2004 12:50 PM : James said, "The damage to the reef fishing ground from 1951 is done. I don't think extending the beach now is going to make a differance either way." One must understand that beaches are part of the living environment. Things that are alive can always be damaged further. Conversely, they can always have the potential to revive themselves. It is obvious what dumping sand on Waikiki beach in 1951 did. Dumping sand more now will increase the damage. The sand is NOT going to stay on the shore. It will drift into the reef. Everyone knows that. Only some folks seem not to care about anything beyond whether they can stick umbrellas (or heads) in the sand. Seeing sunbathing as the only way humans can engage with beaches only reveals our collective paucity of knowledge about nature, our relationship with nature, and our lack of imagination. One idea articulated by George Downing (http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/West/07/05/waikiki.sand.ap/), part of the original Save Our Save folks, is to pump the sand out of the reefs instead of bringing in more sand. James also said, "And I hope the widening of Waikiki beaches does not result in the loss of any limbs." James, it has already. And it certainly will again. How about visiting www.downwindproductions.com? It might provide you with some information about what has occurred, and why it occurred. Remember that the beach, the land, the sea, the streams, the sky, the air.... are still alive. Nothing is a done deal. What we do today will determine what will happen tomorrow. Dumping sand on Waikiki Beach now will most definitely result in deaths to many many things -- perhaps even tourism. a better world is possible gaye Posted by JB on February 8, 2004 05:44 PM : At least Waikik won't face the almost yearly loss of sand experienced in places on East Coast due to Hurricanes. The city of Virginia Beach, VA lost Millions of $$$ to Hurriane Isabel last year after undertaking a project just like this. Since moving from Hawaii, I've experienced more Hurricanes (even living 100 miles inland) than I did there (Iniki and Iwa while I was there). Aloha, J Posted by gaye on February 9, 2004 12:51 PM : maybe the message here is to stop trying to artificially widen beaches. Posted by JB on February 10, 2004 08:55 PM : Gaye, I do not disagree. Anyplace that positions itself to tourism as an economic engine (forced upon the locale or not, typically the taste of money sets in) usually ends up playing this goose chase with no practical end in sight. I really can't say what a community like Honolulu would do if that engine failed. The problem with a place like Waikiki is it's romanticism with popular american (and local to an extent) culture. Being that Waikiki is a "name" of the same ilk as Golden Gate bridge, Hollywood, etc, things will be done to protect it's appeal and image. I will look more into what someone like George Downing has said about the situation as I know long-time waterfolk have likely thought the problem through. I suppose dumping sand in the wee hours is "easier" than suctioning out sand emplanted on the reef. We will see time and time again that, in a culture which primarily values "cheap, productive, easy" that an enlightened approach suggested by the SOS foundation will usually be passed over. Getting communities in balance with ecosystems will either happen or not. You already have countries like the US and Russia essentially turning a bling eye to the fact that, perhaps in as early as 30 years, Waikiki beach will need the sand to create a New Orleans-style levee to keep an elevated sea-level at bay. We all know that Waikiki is essentially a pumped out marsh/swamp as it is.

Whether you're here to see an incredible Hawaii volcano or you want to laze on a beach at a top resort in Kona, Hawaii, knowing ahead of time what you want to do will help you make the most of your trip to Hawaii. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Most visitors to Hawaii want to see lava from an active Hawaii volcano, and the big island does not disappoint when it comes to this. Spread out over 333,000 acres, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park takes up a large portion on the southern part of the Big Island. Mauna Loa, rising at 13,677 feet, is easily the largest dormant volcano in the world. Kilauea volcano is where you can see the lava floes and eerie volcanic landscapes. You can spend days hiking and camping in the Hawaii volcano park, since over half of it is set aside as wilderness. Kona Coast The Kona coast, on the west side of the Big Island, is home to the top resorts on the big islands and the popular Kona vacation rentals. The Kona area enjoys great weather all year round, in addition to other activities like deep-sea fishing and snorkeling, making this a popular place for Hawaii vacations. You can also take a tour of the coffee farms that produce the world famous Kona coffee, which is organic and all natural. Kona vacation rentals are popular because many of these look out over the Pacific Ocean, and are close to excellent beaches. Whether you Hawaii vacations include staying at a resort or booking one of the Kona vacation rentals, this area is one of the best of all islands to stay. Maui Road to Hana This is the most incredible drive of all the Hawaiian Islands. This 52 mile Hana drive usually takes about 3 hours, and goes over 54 different bridges. The drive starts at Kahului Airport, and the beginning of the ride takes your through farmlands that grow Pineapple and Taro. Then you will find yourself in a tropical rainforest, surrounded by papaya, guava, and rainbows eucalyptus trees. Next, you will drive by old churches in Wailua and Keanae. The Oceanside caves and black sand beaches of Wainapanapa State Park are some of the last natural wonders you will find before reaching the town of Hana, where you can experience life in a sleepy Hawaii town. Be sure to visit the Seven Sacred Pools at Oheo Gulch in the Haleakala National Park, and don't miss the 2 hour rainforest hike from Hana to the impressive waterfalls. Iao Valley Iao Valley beauty has inspired Hawaiians to gather here to honor the agriculture god, Lono, during an annual festival called the Makahiki festival. For over a hundred years visitors have been coming to the valley to enjoy the scenic beauty of this lush valley. There are trails in the park, so you can see the best scenery of the cloud covered valley. These clouds have a lot to do with the shape of the valley, since these feed the streams that carved the shape of the Iao valley. Oahu Hanauma Bay On Oahu, Hanauma Bay has a marine reef that is the top place for snorkeling anywhere on the island. There are more than 50 species of fish that make their home here, and you can see them up close when you scuba dive or snorkel at Hanauma Bay. Often, the bay is full of snorkelers, sometimes too many for additional divers to join. Shark's cove is a great alternative. There are underwater alcoves in the deeper inlet to the right of the cove where more adventurous divers can explore the natural beauty of the reef. Waikiki Beach Waikiki beach is located on the southern shores of Oahu. Since this place was frequented by the Hawaiian royalty during the 1800's, Waikiki has been a retreat for visitors looking for a relaxing shore. Waikiki beach is now home to the most resort hotels on the island, and home to the most modern luxury resorts in Hawaii as well as historic Hawaii hotels as well. Kauai Na Pali Coast The name is this spectacular place is taken from the Hawaiian word Pali, which means cliffs. The cliffs of the Na Pali coast are dramatic valleys that rise hundreds of feet from the ocean floor. These deep gorges are caused by streams and waterfalls which continue to create crevasses into the ancient stone, which are further eroded by the waves of the sea .There are still remnants of terraces near the valley floor where Hawaiians used to cultivate the taro root. There is a challenging 11-mile hike on the Kalalau trail, which traverses 5 valleys before it ends at Kalalau beach. This hike can take a full day but will reward you with treks through verdant meadows and ocean side beaches. Waimea Canyon The Waimean Canyon is an incredible feast for the eyes. Situated on the west coast of Hawaii, the canyon is more than 3,500 feet deep, and more than 10 miles long. This canyon was created by the flooding from the rivers that flowed out of the Hawaii volcano Mount Waialeale. If you look at the canyon walls, you will see the lines that show traces of the geological activity that has taken place over the past thousands of years. There is lots of great hiking, with many different lookouts and vista points to take in the stunning beauty of this Canyon. If you're driving out here, make sure you have plenty of gas in your tank, as there are is not a single gas station on the 40 mile road. Lanai Lanai City Lanai is the smallest island of all the islands of Hawaii, and is known as the Pineapple Isle because over 90% of the island was used to cultivate pineapples. This is a great place to get away from it all, since there are only two major resorts on this island. You can get here easily from Maui on the Expeditions Lanai ferry. Monro Trail and the Luahiwa Petroglyphs Lanai is worth a visit while you're in the Hawaiian Islands. It has a lot of interesting features, like Koele, which is home to a lodge that is in such a lovely setting that it pulls that the heartstrings of the most hardened Hawaiian.
