He lists his top five. Myth 1. Top soil bought from somewhere else is always better than the existing soil. Top soil is a vague commodity. Defining it as "that soil on the top," does not specify what kind of soil it is. Purchased top soil may range from heavy clay to a gravelly sand type. Most native soils are as good as any top soil that can be purchased they simply need to be worked with. The best way to improve the soil in your landscape is to work in organic matter. Leaves, grass clippings, sawdust, straw, manure and peat moss provide drainage, loosen the tightly bound particles, increase the nutrient and water-holding capacities and improve the overall tilth of the soil. Myth 2. There is a perfect tree. Every tree has some good and bad characteristics. Some trees have more problems than you can shake a dead aspen at, while others have more redeeming qualities. When looking for that perfect tree, do a little research, and make sure An aspirin Every year, over a million Americans have heart attacks. We know that aspirin is an effective therapy for preventing prevent-ing heart attacks among people peo-ple who have already been diagnosed with heart disease. For years, doctors have suggested sug-gested aspirin to prevent a second heart attack in their patients who have already had one. Now there is new evidence that aspirin can also help prevent pre-vent heart attacks among people peo-ple who are at risk of having a heart attack within the next five years. Studies show that aspirin therapy reduces the risk for coronary heart disease by as much as 28 percent for patients who have never had a heart attack but are at a higher high-er risk of having one. Furthermore, low-dose aspirin (75 milligrams) appears to be just as effective as higher Be a volunteer with United Way Family Volunteer Opportunities.

If you can find a tree that has no insect or disease problems, prob-lems, provides colossal shade in just two years, does not have roots in the lawn and rakes up after itself in the fall, buy it and then get right to work on world peace. Myth 3. There is an easy way to control morning glory (field bindweed). I am often asked what to use to control field bindweed. Besides . asphalt, there is no easy answer and even it is only a temporary fix. It takes time and effort to control some weeds and usually requires a combination of different dif-ferent methods. Spray them with a registered herbicide (like 2,4-D and Roundup) in the spring and fall, use a thick mulch wherever possible, mechanically remove them with a hoe and then pray. Keep at it every year, and eventually the problem will be more manageable. man-ageable. Myth 4. If a plant looks sick, apply extra fertilizer so it will outgrow the problem. This is like forcing someone with the stomach flu to consume a greasy cheeseburger. Although some plants may look bad because they are nutrient deficient defi-cient and need fertilizer, most a day: is doses. Aspirin therapy also has risks, however. That's why the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (an independent, private-sector group of experts in prevention and primary care charged with review of the clinical evidence on a variety of health conditions) recently issued a recommendation that doctors discuss the benefits and harms of aspirin therapy with their patients who are at an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Are you at risk for a heart attack? You may be at higher risk for a heart attack if you are a man over 40, a woman past menopause, a smoker or someone some-one with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease. You can also determine your risk level by using one of the our community. Make art and craft materials materi-als for children in the crisis nursery.

There are many good sources to help you diagnose a problem, including a Utah certified cer-tified nursery person at your favorite garden center, the Internet, books and most county coun-ty Extension offices can direct you to a diagnostic clinic in your area. Remember, diagnose first, then treat. Myth 5. If a plant starts to wilt, apply enough water to float a small battleship. In reality, real-ity, more plants are killed from too much water than from too little. When a plant is over-watered over-watered the roots lose the ability abil-ity to collect and move moisture. mois-ture. Roots need as much oxygen oxy-gen (for respiration) as they do water. Also, excess water promotes pro-motes root rot, which reduces the root's ability to function properly. When a plant is over-watered over-watered and cannot take up water, it naturally starts to wilt. Seeing the plant droop, its owner automatically applies more water, which just aggravates the problem. Before watering more, dig down four to six inches into the soil around the plant to make sure the problem is a lack of water. it for you? easy-to-use, free calculators on the Internet, such as the one at: http :hin.nhlbi.nih.govatpiii cal-culator.asp. cal-culator.asp. What should you do? Don't just start taking aspirin without discussing the pros and cons with your doctor, especially if you are at high risk. Continued use of aspirin can cause bleeding in the stomach or brain. You and your doctor will need to weigh the benefits and risks and decide what makes the most sense for you.
