Living in Florida is a real challenge because it seems everyone is sold on killing nature with mowers, chemicals & such. Try learning about nature & seeing the real beauty in those plants & bugs you call weeds & pests. The ads for products and services to kill & change nature are unhealthy. I provide healthy places to live with rental homes, apartments & studios. All with organic yards, NO pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
Natural yards are so much more beautiful to enjoy the sights, critters, smells & diversity of nature. Chem lawns most people are sold on maintaining at great expense are very unhealthy for people & other living things. If you are interested in this idea, please visit my site www.BryanTree.com
There are so many details that most people don't realize are toxic inside & outside their homes. Maybe we could use this page to help list them to make them useful like:
People buy stuff to help the environment when really you need to buy less and stop the war on nature. Try Organic Nature scaping instead. Get rid of your lawnmower to stop killing the lizards & polluting the air, & holding back your natural yard from flourishing.
How about window cleaner? Do you know what the pros use? Water and a few drops of soap... non toxic and cheap, works great no streaks. use cloths that were washed without toxic fabric softeners. See my site for many more ideas that work. When you take the toxics out of the environment, things will get better.
Let me know if you have ideas to add or want to help.
I am looking for apprentices to help expand this healthy approach to property management.

Your web site is great. I also live in Florida-Port Richey-and you probably know how the govt has used this county as a garbage dump for over fifty years. The whole area has to be toxic because you can see the results in the ponds and the Cotee River. Just swimming in the gulf in my area has caused countless people to develop rashes. It freightens me that people eat the shrimp and fish they catch around the Tampa Bay area. The hospitals are filled with cases that have gone from bad to worse because of the toxicity of my area. When I tell the new people who move into this area about the air and water qualities they often tell me that it was a lot worse up north. It is a tough task finding information about the good products we can use to make our lives a lot healthier. Keep up the good work Bryan. You are one of our unsung heroes that can make a great difference.
The gardening I do is organic. I do not use pesticides or herbicides in the garden, and I dig holes and bury veggie scraps, fruit peels and coffee grounds from the kitchen. We have lots of lizards, frogs, toads and salamanders in the gardens, and the occasional garden snake. I have a volunteer potato plant growing from when I cut some eyes out of a potato. Also we had some volunteer cantaloupe, but there was not enough light where they decided to grow for them to produce anything. I am concerned in general for the plight of the honeybee. Did you see the PBS show on why honeybees are dying recently? It is going to be a big problem worldwide if it is not addressed, since they are needed for pollenation.
I wonder if we could gather a group of people to get the bay area cities to make it compulsory for apartment complexes to offer city recycling services on site for those who live in apartments. I made a phone call to the City of Temple Terrace about it because of overflowing dumpsters at local apartment complexes that do not have recycling. Does the same problem exist in Gulfport?
If I have time, I would like to learn how to build a bottle house. I believe there was a folk artist out in the desert who filled square bottles with sand and capped them off, and made a domed building with mortar that was well-insulated because of sand and did not have bottlenecks sticking out because she covered those with adobe. I think she got all of her bottles from the dump. However, filling them with sand and covering one side with adobe would take away the stained-glass effect. If I ever get any land I would like to build a little bottle house as an outdoor shelter behind a main house.
