Can anyone tell me where to find good info about growing kava? I know there's not much to know, but I have about 30-40 starts that I was super lucky to get, I live in the jungle of hawaii, so no better place, soil type, nutrients, Sun or shade, little tips and tricks, possible diseases and how to prevent. It seems to me that something about the kava world is strangely "coveted", for instance finding someone to let me take some cuttings or sell me starts was almost impossible, the only reason I got them was because I got scammed by someone who knew a kava patch and sold me some of the strangers kava, very unfortunate for the guy, didn't find out until I went for round two of digging them up, felt terrible when I realized it happened, lost out on some money, but I ended up with all those starts from the beginning, which is amazing, I've asked growers and all kinds of people, they will sell chopped up roots, but they make sure you can't plant them, they're hard to get even in hawaii, I could be wrong about my theory though.
But now that I have so many I'm looking for info on cultivating it correctly, only finding some real mild basics out there, any ideas where to look. Hoping ghk checks this out, maybe this subject could be his next informative post!
