[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Keep Those Likes coming everyone! We have 4 more days to keep pushing that Like total up to get my kid planting as many trees as this video gets likes. We're hoping for 100, we're almost there!!

[@tianzhuhuang8952]

I used this Plantain weed to make tea for my kidney stone, it works not only for me, but also works for my two friends who have kidney stones.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I'll keep it in mind if I ever get them.

[@ssgdukes100]

Is it just me or is this dude on that pakalolo lol

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

People been saying I’ve been smoking weed since I was 12. Just laid back brother

[@darrenlopes6150]

Aloha Mahalo ke Akua 🎉❤

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo for watching

[@springbooth3547]

Excellent

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks

[@ErynElayne]

For the guinea grass, just blend the leaves In a blender to make a green juice. Mmm

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Ok. Worth a try. Thanks

[@InTheMannerOfLove]

What do you do about that snail bacteria issue?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

We cook all of our greens, ie we do not grow salad greens

[@ariannemeister3503]

Hila hila is used to make tea used in controlling blood sugar for diabetics in Indonesia.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

It's not as evil as it seems!

[@ariannemeister3503]

@@HomesteadinHawaii Hahaha....no... It's just the appearance. In Indonesia we also extract the juice of ripe noni (pinch your nose while processing), mix with the juice of turmeric, add honey. The mixture is also to regulate HBP and blood sugar. Never mind the honey it is good sugar.

[@MariannaK94]

Thank you, I am interested in knowing more about eatable plants.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Plenty more videos on my channel on all sorts of eatable stuff!

[@michelefreitas4762]

Hono hono sap from stems is also good for healing minor cuts, scrapes etc.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Awesome! I’ll tell the kids.

[@parasanto24]

one more tree :)

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

More trees are great!

[@christysmith5211]

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I’ll probably do some more like this in the future

[@DHL4Jesus]

Outstanding!! You’re a champ!

[@Carolynuakea]

Love this ! Thanks for sharing !! I love wild herbs and food .

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

No worries. Mahalo for watching

[@bohopkins6916]

he teaches some valuable tips for living on the big island that most won't teach.....

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo for the kind review

[@HIBredAsian808]

Hila hila - also known as, Water mimosa.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks for sharing

[@GudLawdHammercy]

If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Wish I used that line in the video!!

[@blakeclay3560]

Thanks for directing me to your channel! Great energy, great info!!! Mahalo!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks for checking it out!!

[@christysmith5211]

subscribed immediately from Hilo do you teach any classes beyond youtube?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I might one day but don’t have plans to at the moment. Just KZbin for now. Is there something I should cover?

[@tmackie1694]

Aloha! I hated the guinea grass all over our property until we got guinea pigs. It’s their favorite food - blades and especially the seeds!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Yeah. My sheep went straight for the Guinea grass

[@hgkal808]

Solid vid. If u ever did a Pick, Clean & Cook on these weeds that would be sweet.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Good idea

[@yoBigWave]

New to your channel, thank you for all your words of wisdom and experience in this lifestyle. I'm 30 and been saving for my dream of living off grid on the island. I grew up in Hawaii and since lived in the main land. One day I hope to call you neighbor. 🤙

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo. You can do it! You're still young, just focus on that goal.

[@virtueacademy6620]

Thank you so much for this! My kids immediately went in our yard and picked the pink flowers from the sensitive plant and sauteed them in butter and salt. That might detract a bit from the nutritional value but they thought they were delicious! They also picked guinea grass seeds but weren't quite as impressed with those. Unfortunately or fortunately those are the only edible weeds we have in our yard presently. We have lots of other ones though! I am enjoying your other videos, too! Hoping we can create a tropical food forest in the back yard at some point. We do have one pineapple that just appeared something in the middle (yay!) and the lilikoi just started attaching itself to the trellis! So excited! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Awesome! Glad I kid inspire your kiddos

[@teamcautiouslyextreme8072]

Put him to work on 😎🤙

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

You get it!!😀

[@teamcautiouslyextreme8072]

@@HomesteadinHawaii We have a couple of raw acres in Eden Rock that I am going to start playing with this spring and summer. But I am very interested in building with bamboo. We have one of our homes going on the market and with the proceeds I was thinking of picking up a 20 acre lot in Kopua and start a bamboo farm for building materials. You inspired me to consider bamboo more. Thank you

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

@@teamcautiouslyextreme8072 That would be an awesome project! Hopefully by the time they mature, we'll have a viable market for them. I have always envisioned "all bamboo" shop in Hilo one day. Hope you can make it happen!!

[@woodyahh2110]

I know its been a year but your boy gets to plant another tree

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Just had him plant a few yesterday. Mahalo

[@DHL4Jesus]

Love your channel! What precautions do you take regarding rat lungworm? Maybe you can do a video about this in the future since it impacts life here in Hawaii. Aloha and keep up the great vids:)

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I did make a video about those nasty little buggers. Essentially I don’t eat raw. The Dangers of Rat Lungworm and What to Do about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGjMe2qbn56Jr9E

[@freedcorporateslave]

Know thy weeds, great advice and great video! What can be more satisfying than foraging in your own yard?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo!

[@DRiceArizona]

You mention adding some of these to salads. Does that slug you have talked about that carries the rat lung worm disease not crawl on those plants?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Not all islands have rat lung worms. If yours does i would not eat it raw

[@forestsprite5914]

hilahila=sleeping grass

[@PRDreams]

Hila hila is called moriviví here and it's a native plant. No idea the flowers were edible. Thanks for the info! Hono Hono is called cohitre here and it is also native to the island. I love it in salads along with what we call here prenetaria (Peperomia Pellucida) which is another "weed" that grows around here and Malabar spinach. With a bit of salt and a spritz of lemon *chef kiss* is a delicious salad! I had no idea purslane was edible or what was its name. I was wondering the other day because it is a tiny succulent or at least I looks like it belongs in the succulent family? It grows here like crazy, but I'm not sure if it's native. Thanks for letting us know what is edible in the tropics. Look forward to more of these videos! For reference, I live in Puerto Rico.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks for your share. Plants are amazing! Mahalo for watching. I hope to visit your amazing island one day.

[@frenchjava313]

Honohono is edible?? I could jump for joy! Sharing knowledge of wild edibles keeps us, and our ancestral skills, alive :)

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Crazy huh?

[@emccool49]

Your doing a great service for all of us who admire the beauty of Bamboo. I have viewed many Bamboo videos on KZbin and yours is the most educational and inspiring to people with a love for Bamboo. Keep it Up and Thank You. I live in VeroBeach, FL and it grows well in this tropical climate.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks. I saw there was a gap in bamboo on KZbin. I love working with it. I’ve always wondered what vero beach was like since I was kid watching dodgers spring training
