Why Hawaii's Top Growers Choose Black Cinder Over Red Cinder:
- pH Neutral: Won't acidify your soil or stress plants (unlike red cinder)
- 30% Lighter: Easier to spread, less back-breaking labor
- Lasts Decades: Red cinder breaks down into dust; black cinder stays structural
- No Dust: Clean to work with (red cinder creates messy dust clouds)
- Perfect Mix: Blends ideally with Hawaiian Volcanic Organic Topsoil
Key Benefits of Mixing Black Cinder with Hawaiian Volcanic Organic Top Soil
1. Superior Aeration
- How It Works: Black Cinder’s porous structure integrates seamlessly with the nutrient-dense topsoil, creating space for airflow to reach plant roots.
- Why It Matters: Improved aeration fosters healthy root development and reduces the risk of soil compaction, allowing plants to thrive.
2. Optimized Drainage
- How It Works: When mixed with topsoil, Black Cinder helps water flow through the soil more efficiently, preventing waterlogging.
- Why It Matters: The blend ensures a perfect balance, keeping plants hydrated without drowning their roots.
3. Enhanced Moisture Retention
- How It Works: Black Cinder holds water within its pores and releases it gradually, complementing the nutrient-rich moisture-retaining properties of Hawaiian Volcanic Organic Top Soil.
- Why It Matters: This blend is especially effective in dry climates or for plants requiring consistent hydration.
4. Mineral Enrichment
- How It Works: Black Cinder is naturally infused with trace minerals that support plant growth and microbial activity, amplifying the benefits of the organic nutrients in the topsoil.
- Why It Matters: The combination delivers a balanced and nutrient-rich environment for robust, healthy plants.
5. Long-Lasting Performance
- How It Works: While topsoil provides organic matter for immediate nutrient delivery, Black Cinder’s durable structure ensures ongoing soil enhancement for years.
- Why It Matters: Together, they form a sustainable, low-maintenance soil mix.

Inexpensive, yet extremely helpful
Well written book that can be helpful not only to newlywed couples or those engaged, but also to those who have been married for a period of time. They are thought provoking and encourage dialog on a variety of marital issues. The companion workbooks for each respective spouse is nice.

Sense and Practicality Found Here
This book is a great way for couples to discuss matters that are really important. It is a great way to talk about the things that are all too often "unspoken" even with the greatest of couples. This book gave us a way to make sense of our thoughts, in an easy non-judgmental and open way. It wasn't that we hadn't voiced these ideas or matters, just that we hadn't thought about the matters fully. That is what this book is for: discussing. One of the greatest parts of the book is discussing your family's unspoken rules.
My fiance and I had already discussed several of the matters in the book (and thought we had done so successfully), just not as thoroughly as the book asked of us. This really helped us understand each other and our perspectives. Some of the matters in the book seem to be on the naive side, maybe assuming a more modest and conservative lifestyle of its readership (perhaps written especially for couples that haven't gotten to spend a lot of time around each other for extended periods), but there is enough reality to keep topics and discussion flowing. It is an easy fast paced read.
This book presents a comfortable and laid back way of discussing the things you may have already thought of but never got the time to bring full circle.

Practical and helpful
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book. My husband and I gave one copy to one of our sons as he started to have relationship troubles; this book helped him immensely in getting to the core of what makes a relationship work. We gave a copy to our other son when he got engaged, and we don't know if he simply read it and responded to the questions or if he used it as a springboard to start conversations with his fiancee. All I see is that they have become more of a team, better at communicating, and very happy as they focus on their future marriage. Note that I said "marriage" and not "wedding" - the more important focus!
My husband and I are Christians; the perspective of a Christian couple is clear in this book, but in addition to that, the Parrotts bring professional training and clear writing to the table. Their questions and discussions are insightful and sometimes humorous, making it an easy-to-read book. This is a practical "handbook" for couples at all stages of serious relationships, from pre-engagement through married for many years.
