Like Linne Faulk, who wrote a related guide, (Affordable florida homes)
August 19th, 2008Like Linne Faulk, who wrote a related guide, I am a transplant from Michigan. Moving to Florida was just about equal to moving to another planet. My wife and I are homeowners in Cape Coral, found ourselves in Plant Hardiness Zone 10b, but you know, you just have to try different things. We have a butterfly garden which went way whacko with too many dune sunflowers and not enough tropical salvias, gallardias, firebushes, and Bahama cassia. One item to update this anecdotal book was published eight or nine years ago : There is still Miami sludge, Grade AA, but it is no longer known as “Florida Organix” or “daorganite”. Further, in talking with the Lee County Extension Office, products such as Milorganite and Grade AA Miami sludge are being panned as less effective than originally thought.
