This is how they grow their wine...The vines are in depressions in the ash, and it collects moisture from the air at night..Not my photo but gives you an idea how man overcomes nature. This area is most impressive to drive thru when only then do you realise just how many of these vives are grown over a huge area.
We have houses here built on Lava flows..they use the bubbles to make rooms..they can be quite impressive ( and expensive) residences..however, the only garden they have is where there is a depression, and they fill it with soil........All very striking against the black lava, but not much use to an avid gardner
