Protect Your Beautiful Lawn with BBIMI
Florida has some of the best looking lawns in the country, but we all know that they require a ton of maintenance. This necessity of lawn upkeep is caused by more than just the bi-polar weather. As you may already know, hurricane season typically lasts from June to November and many Florida insurance agencies will tell you, property damage is common during this time. The truth is that even during calmer months, it can be hard to grow things, as those new to Florida quickly learn.
The main problem lies in the Florida’s soil. With Florida almost completely surrounded by the ocean, it is not surprising that most of the state has salty soil. The salt is carried inland from the coast by the wind. How does this affect your garden? Having a large amount of salt in your soil can make it hard to grow certain plants successfully because it inhibits proper water absorption.
How can you combat this problem and create a beautiful outside oasis for yourself? One of the best things you can do it choose salt-tolerant plants for your yard. There are quite a few species that are salt-tolerant. A few popular choices included the perennial Kalanchoe, English Ivy, and Winterberry holly. It is also important to mix in healthier soil into your beds to help counteract the salt
Even after your success in cultivating a yard you can be proud of, a hurricane can just show up and wreak havoc. With heavy rains and harsh winds, it is not surprising that many residents experience damage to their home as well as their yard. New residents should purchase hurricane coverage on their homeowner’s insurance policy right away or you may risk being left paying for the damages after a big storm.
