Sitting here watching the rain I have realized that Florida sandy soil is uniquely suited to Floridas weather.
The sandy soil allows for the heavy rain fall to quickly disperse underground where roots need it.
Not only does it allow the roots quick access to the water, but it also keeps flooding to a minimum. With the hard pan of rock/clay etc underneath the sand you have a natural almost french drain. This allows for a greater and better distribution of the precious water to other bigger and deeper rooted plants.
Color me in aw of mother nature right now.
