seeing the IfA email address, description from Hilo IfA building
(I'm 2 buildings away):
drive down through the University, take a right on Lanikaula.
Cross Kinoole, Kilauea, and Manono Street (each of which have lights)
cross Hinano and Laukapu, take a left on Kalanikoa (if you reach
Kanoelehua you have gone too far - and can only turn right there).
Turn right on Leilani St. (first right), cross Kanoelehua, the art supply
place Dan mentions is on your right after the light then.
Follow Leilani St. ... (don't turn right into Railroad Av.)

The grinder is currently in Kona ... (getting on time to get it back
though)
Right before you get to the pile of unshredded green waste there is a
brown
pile of better than half composted stuff. If isn't exactly potting soil in
that it contains odd pieces of wood, rocks, sometimes plastic and metal,
but I use it even for potting soil after taking the bigger pieces out.
Last time I went there (Wednesday) the pile was about 10 feet high, maybe
a bit more, 50 feet long and 30 feet deep, and the loader loading dump
trucks, so it may not last a whole lot longer.

<g> - actually, right past the green waste thing is a quarry, that's way
before you get to the landfill or race track ...
