Why Your Plants Suffer From Disease and Pests

Lost your green thumb? Most likely it is not your fault! Not to brag, but I have always been the lucky guy who consistently had a very lush garden, but moving to Florida was an eye opening disaster! The state does not have any soil! Florida has white sand, brown sand and if you are very lucky, you have black sand! The sand can heat up to 120ºF and is able to repel water! How in the world does anything grow here?

Once upon a time, Florida had Cypress trees over 100 feet tall and over 33 men shoulder wide. Did you think that giant Cypress trees could grow in sand?!!!!

By man’s foolish actions, man caused Florida’s growing problems! Did you know that once upon a time Florida had a minimum of 12 feet of soil? What did man do?
