Wahi a Heather i nā mea kanu hiki ke ulu ma kahi āpau - ma ka māla ma kahi moena pua, i kahi pahu ma ka pā kihi a i loko o ka pua pua ma ka balota. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hoʻolako i kanu āu iā ia a kūpono i nā lula no ka mālama ʻana i ka mea kanu.
Hiki ke hālāwai i ka Heather ma nā ʻāpana he nui o ka honua, no ka mea hiki iā ia ke hoʻohālikelike i kahi kokoke i nā kūlana a me nā pōkō. I manaʻo ʻia kekahi mea kanu honua no ka māla ʻana ma ka ʻāina. Eia kekahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kahi māla holomua āpau.

E hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ke ʻano o ka lepo, hoʻopiha ʻia me ka peat ma mua o ke kanu ʻana i ka hua, hoʻohui i nā gravel a me ke one, a hoʻomoʻi maikaʻi.
