Nature spews out different environments (8,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pastures new

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'different environments' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'nature spews out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'nature'+'spews'='naturespews'
'naturespews' with letters rearranged gives 'PASTURES NEW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pastures new that I've seen before include "fresh experiences" , "complete change of scenery" , "a more promising situation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
