		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a couple of months since I last posted about my little bucket-lo&#8217;i project. I have several 25 gallon molasses tubs re-purposed to be used as pots to grow my taro in. Since these particular taro plants prefer semi-aquatic conditions, I opted to not drill a drain hole in these tubs and to flood [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the last couple of years I&#8217;ve kept taro in the greenhouse in large molasses tubs filled with water. The taro themselves grew in smaller buckets of topsoil submerged in these tubs, which I have dubbed bucket-lo&#8217;i. Of all my taro, these taro grew the best and produced the largest corms and healthiest leaves. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A poi pounder is a stone shaped somewhat like a half an hour-glass with a rounded bottom. It&#8217;s usually carved out of a gray lava with tight pores. In those days, these stones were pecked at with a hammer stone to shape it -- a process that took many many patient hours. Once the shape [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started a couple of in-ground taro beds early last Spring. The idea was to see if I could keep taro alive thru our harsh environment. I&#8217;ve had other beds fail but that was during a multi-year drought. One is dug in about 9&#8243; deep and is positioned in a way that drainage water that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been growing taro for several years &#8211; not just the Colocasia esculenta species, but several Xanthosoma species as well. Taro is just one of the several tropical plants I obsess over, however it&#8217;s most certainly the plant with the most uses that I have come across. In this blog I&#8217;ll document my progress [...]]]></description>
