The simple fact was that the strong trade winds had stunted the plants. Not only that, one side had a strange trapezoidal shape.

Yes, our island winds can definitely be a challenge for even the most knowledgable of gardeners, but don’t worry, it can be accomplished if you are willing to be creative and spend a little extra time creating a garden-friendly environment.

Solutions for Windy Environments

Plant Close to Your House

If the leeward side of your house has a sunny spot close to the structure, that’s a good place for a garden plot. If you reside in a post and pier home, block off the wind blowing underneath the house with plywood, reed fencing (you can get this at any hardware store and it is easy to cut with sharp scissors), or coconut fronds. If you are really motivated, woven ti leaf is an excellent windbreak.

Build a Wind Fence

There’s several ways to accomplish this solution that fit every price range.

The Really Frugal Way (aka: The I Just Moved or Bought Property or Am Out of Work and I’m So Broke I Can’t Afford to Pay Attention Way)

What I did on the property I spoke of in the opening paragraph was build a wooden support frame and tied coconut fronds to it. Now, at the time, I basically had no extra funds but was determined to make an effective windbreak and grow a great garden. So I went around to every major construction site that was tearing down their windbreak fences and begged wood to recycle. I sunk 4x4x8s two feet deep every eight feet on center after treating the subterranean length with a substance to prevent post rot. Then I affixed 2x4x8s along the top and bottom of the posts. On the lower 2x4s I allowed eight inches clearance above the ground for weed whacking and airflow. I used 80-pound test monofilament to tie coconut fronds to the 2x4s, making sure that they overlapped sufficiently. It looks cool and works exceptionally well, but that’s a lot of work, isn’t it?
