Interesting posts today! This one especially caught my eye as this is the
right idea for collecting by us newbes, a salvage dig! Why?

Two observations on collecting in Florida and other parts of the country.

1. Florida is developing FAST and there are a lot of opportunities for
"salvage" digs, even in some urban areas.

2. Florida soil, at least on the peninsula has one thing in common. SAND
Collecting can be difficult because the roots run soo far from the plant.

I prefer to just collect Deciduous trees. Pines and such are too tempermental for me.
