I live in Florida should I water my plants for a long or short period of time

I live in Florida should I water my plants for a long or short period of time?
It is a sandy climate. I'm from Kansas. I used to water plants on a trickle for 30 minutes then switch to another plant. Do I do the same even though I'm in a sandy climate?

Give it a try. We use to live in the Ft. Lauderdale area and I would water about 30 minutes for each area of the yard a couple of times per week. We had a sprinkler system that turned itself on and off. You might want to invest in a system. It will water while you are away from home.

How much you water will depend on the amount of rainfall you have had and the type of plants and their specific needs. Florida has so many tropicals that use lots of water. If you can't afford a sprinkler system just use soaker hoses with a timer attached to the outside hydrant/faucet. Soakers let water trickle right out of the pourous hoses. Remember NOT to turn the water on too fast/high. Conservation at it best. Less waste and recycled materials. Recovered-content garden and soaker hoses help create new uses for old tires and recycled plastics. EPA's designation specifically covers garden and soaker hoses containing recovered plastic or rubber. http://www.epa.gov/cpg/products/garden.htm

What do everyone that live in Florida think about the new expressway toll lane on I-95

What do everyone that live in Florida think about the new expressway toll lane on I-95?
A lot of people have been getting into accidents since they put it up, as if Miami is not already congested. Once on the express lane you can't get off expressway until you get to homestead. What do you think about that? DOT of Miami, did not even think to put up signs before you get to the line. You would not know it until its to late, which cause accidents and more money for gas and/or that ticket you will get for trying to switch between the baracades.

If you see two pairs of double yellow lines (that's 4 yellow lines in all) don't cross. Legally that's the same as a barrier, you're not allowed to cross it. Ever, anywhere. Obey the law and you won't get a ticket. See, the problem is a lot of people think it's OK to drive unsafely and break the law just because they are confused and want to go some other direction. Like the boneheads who take a right turn from the left lane across straight traffic. What they should do is obey the law and go where the road goes (gosh, a whole dollar of gas wasted) - or break the law with extreme care so they don't get into an accident. The fact that you're breaking the law is a big hint that you need to be super extra careful.

People who live in Florida: Do you think that the media exaggerates when a hurricane comes

People who live in Florida: Do you think that the media exaggerates when a hurricane comes?
I live in Orlando and they are obsessing about this tropical storm Fay and it's hardly even as bad as the thunderstorms we get. I know it's worse if you live by the ocean but I feel they go overboard with it sometimes. I was born and raised here and a lot of the time they do exaggerate things. It seems like the media gets excited about hurricanes or tropical storms.

Would you rather them not exaggerate and then another storm like Katrina comes and destroys everything you have and have ever known? It's their job.

In a way. If you were a meteorologist you might too. How often does "scattered storms with a high of 80" get boring? This is a major Meteorological event. It gives them something to talk about, it gets them excited. Beside, they also don't want people to get complacent. Hurricanes / tropical storms are difficult to predict. It might hit land and turn into a light shower within an hour, or it may gain strength over the everglades or off one of the coasts and come kick our butt. Storms shouldn't be taken lightly - even though us experienced Floridians ride them out like pros. Fay turned into nothing, but don't forget she left a wake of bodies in her path before she got here. Better to be safe than sorry.

yes they try to get everyone nervous sel the paper one might say they want something to talk about orlando? they ever find that girl cailee? someone should knock sense into her mom, its disgusting how cruel people can be
4 :
Yes I agree with you but if you were living here a few years ago when we got 3 hurricanes back to back, you may remember that the first two hurricanes were under exaggerated and many people here in central florida were not prepared and lived without power for a month (more more) in addition to losing money, having lots of repairs and so on. I think they would rather go on and on about a "possibility" than have that happen again.

In a way Just from the look of it i kind of knew it wasn't going to be that bad it wasn't put together well. I stay in west orange county and we haven't got really no rain. But its better for them to over do it than under
6 :
To be honest yes, I was just thinking this yesterday. I live in central Florida and had our local news station on all day yesterday and wound up just feeling sick and panicked and SO anxious because of the over-reporting, panic reaction, and hearing things over and over again. In the end I had to shut everything off and resolve what would be would be. I am pregnant and that level of worry can't be good!! I know it gives them something to talk about but I believe it can cause an unfortunate side effect: public panic and chain reaction which just makes matters worse.
