She thinks brown = dry. The genius has killed half her lawn and still fertilizes the salt crusted dirt that remains. Anyway, few people around here follow the Water Management District guidance on irrigation. Our wells are turning salty. Neighbors don't understand why the fences are rusting out so fast and why their lawns won't grow faster when they are watering non-stop. Kind of annoying. I rarely use my well. But it would be nice if there was some fresh water down there to pull up when establishing a new plant. What would really be nice would be if there was an adequate supply of fresh ground water to the lagoon during the dry season and droughts so that it would go back to normal instead of becoming hypersaline. The lagoon is pretty fucked.
"The lagoon is pretty fucked" lol it's been screwed for 20 years now. Welcome to beautiful Brevard County where growing population greed and wealth matter most. Once the Dudas sold out, the shit hit the fan.. Cant blame them the $$$ was too good to refuse. Natural resources are and will ALWAYS be put on the back burner. Infrastructures Sewage ignored year in and year out but no problems with Virgin building a train from Orlando, improving the Port for Disney to do whatever the hell they want Cruising. Don't forget destroying every beach break/reef we once had with dirt for tourist money that love wide beaches and Resorts. People move hear in the masses monthly and their grass MUST be bigger and greener than the neighbors. Its a never ending cycle that started in 1999 and will never cease. Politicians love it, the blind and ignorant cant even see it and the locals (humans/marine life) are left to bask in the wake of everyone elses SHIT. Enjoy!
