However... volcanic ash does bode well for vine-culture. I'm going to get some grape vines and oak barrels.
Life gives you lemons, make margaritas, life gives you volcanic ash, make wine. Worked for the Italians.

Yeah, nothing to worry about if that one blows.

True, from what I understand that the Volcano ash or soil is pure to plant with.
The only problem with that is, last time the caldera erupted, it put down nearly a meter of ash. Once that gets wet, it essentially turns to concrete. Kind of tuff (heh) to grow things in. It would probably take at least a century of freeze-thaw to break it up enough to start things growing again.
Unless you lived in Pompeii. Otherwise the grapes were great. In reality volcanic ash is great fertilizer but it is best used in moderation.
