    I am right there with you when it comes to lawns. Last month I just moved here to Florida from Michigan. Even back in Michigan my goal was to remove all the grass in my yards. I do not like grass. I have been watching your channel to learn about gardening down here. A lot to learn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    Rabbit manure is wonderful! It can be added immediately it’s not hot. Can be dried and powdered also. Rabbits are easy to raise and produce lots of manure!

    I want to start vermicomposting, but I'm nervous it will bring more pests and bugs in the summer. I'm also worried about keeping the worms cool. I don't want to have to put frozen water bottles and such in my bins every day. I don't have the freezer space for that. I started burying my vegetable scraps to break down over time. I'm just digging holes in my garden, putting in the vegetable scraps, and covering it up. It's a start 😅😂

    I have a ton of worms in my veggie bed. But I was going to say, there’s a nature preserve near me and it’s very wooded and what clearly feeds the trees are the tons of leaves that fall on the floor and the floor of the forest stays pretty wet, so they break down pretty easily im sure.

    In JAX, I have a dedicated space to put dead water oak leaves. It is aesthetically worked into the landscape. I have a natural retaining wall of jasmine- large 20’x 6’. No chemical treatments on yard.
    If you dig under these, it’s rich dark soil and earthworms are dense.

    I have a lawn service here in Florida but I don't have any kind of special sod too expensive to keep up with.Its green in spring through summer then turns brown in winter then back to green in spring

    Great info! The science of fertilizer has always confused me, so I don't bother. Survival of the fittest! 🙂

    Nestle/Blue Triton is trying to pump 1 million gallons of water a day from Ginnie Springs in High Springs, FL. Stop buying bottled water! Most tap water is safe for drinking and tastes good. If you need water for hurricanes or to have just in case, buy 5 gallon jugs and fill up at grocery stores. It's way cheaper than bottled water and reduces waste.

    Something I’ve heard from other gardeners that I really like: You don’t need to focus soo much on the plant, you need to take care of the soil and the soil will take care of the plant. Of course something else very important to remember is the right plant in the right place 🙂. For mulch I try to use what I have at hand (twigs, leaves, grass cuttings, ChipDrop, hey) knowing these will eventually decompose. Thank you for the very valuable information you’re providing.

    Florida is sand. It does not hold nutrients. And anything that is water soluble washes away and into the waterways. Those water soluble nutrients wreak havoc on Florida water. Your garden should be enriched with organic matter to hold onto those nutrients.
    Grow clover in your garden spot in the off season as a cover crop. That is a stable nitrogen that does not wash away so easily and will help growth without fertilizing at all.

    @Life With Eric. I've been vermicomposting for many years. (Over 40 years in the same place.) Glad to say I've only ever had 1 rat issue. There is random insects that live in my compost including black solder flies. But they are all good. I cannot however include cardboard in my bins because that invites wood ants to make their home in it. Not good, but a little DE and removing the cardboard got rid of them and didn't hurt any other critters that I know of.
    It's very rewarding to pile a bunch of weeds and lawn clippings in a bin along with some food scraps. When decomp starts I add my worms and 6 months to a year (depends on the size of your bin) you will have lots of worms and beautiful black gold to add to your veggie garden. It is a slow process, be patient and you will be rewarded in the end. Happy vermicomposting. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

    I am sure these daily videos are a lot of work, but they are wonderful, so thank you. I've been using biochar in my garden for a few seasons now and it is helping a lot. I don't add anything to my garden during the growing seasons, only when prepping beds, so I need something that both holds onto nutrients and improves the soil structure. I do charge the biochar first using rainwater, homemade compost, and soil from the garden.

    Another home-run! Such thorough coverage, and good argument for why everyone should care about the environment, even if you are totally inward focused.
    And bottled water, yeah, even "natural" spring water in Florida HAS to come from the aquifer. I chaperoned a field trip and saw Zepherhills, Nestle (back then) and a private store brand, all being pumped and packaged from the same spring source, which leads back to the Floridan. Since we don't have glacial springs, we are ALL drinking from the same water resource, tap or bottle. Lets not mess it up.
