What is Big Earth Compost? How do we create it, and why does it matter?
As one might expect in South Florida, we often concentrate on how to keep grass healthy under the sun’s strong rays. But keeping your grass healthy in shady areas can be just as challenging.
Tis the season for bags of beautiful fall leaves to be gathered up into plastic bags and unceremoniously dumped into landfills. If you think it seems senseless to turn this organic material into garbage, we agree! There are several ways that you can use these carbon-rich leaves into mulch, compost, and even fertilizer.

Fall weather can cause brown spots in your South Florida lawns, which is normal. But if you want a lush, green lawn during the fall and winter months, try over seeding with ryegrass.

Here in the Tampa Bay area, we enjoy spectacular sunshine all year round. No wonder we love to surround ourselves with lush vegetation and colorful flowers – this is a tropical paradise! Florida container gardening is a great way to exhibit the beauty of our local flowers, as well as to celebrate our unique tropical lifestyle.
November is one of the best months to garden here in the Tampa Bay area. Cool, dry weather arrives and stays for up to six months. There are many flowers, vegetables, and trees which you can easily plant, grow and harvest during the winter, and that will remain beautiful year round.
Lizards are a common sight in the Tampa Bay area. While new residents may need to get accustomed to seeing the little critters running across their path, Florida geckos and anoles are friendly neighbors and harmless creatures. There is only one species of anole and one species of gecko which are native to South Florida, although there are many more here. Here is a quick rundown of the most common lizards that you are likely to see, and the habitats where they thrive.
