The "scoop da rot" method has the potential of working, but with the Hawaiian varieties I'd recommend confirming the actual cause of the rot first. If you don't have the proper equipment on site then send a sample out for a professional analysis. You might find that with the correct diagnosis it's easier to prevent the rot than it is trying to stop it. Adding worm castings will only exasperate the problem.
