  • Mulch: not just for looks

    Updated May 22, 2006

    CHAMPAIGN, IL — Many homeowners choose to mulch because they enjoy the well-cared-for look it gives their landscape. But, they may not realize they are also providing many benefits for their trees. With mulch the result can be a better growing environment for trees and their roots. Homeowners should be aware that, generally, the root system of a tree spreads out, not down. “The roots of most trees extend out a significant distance from the trunk. Most of the fine absorbing roots of trees are located within inches of the soi... Full story

  • Exercise, activity a friend to kids with diabetes

    Updated May 22, 2006

    According to the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP), about 177,000 people under the age of 20 suffer from diabetes. Those numbers figure to rise in the coming years.

    WASHINGTON, DC — For many, especially young people, summer means hopping on a bike and going for a ride.

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is urging everyone who rides a bicycle to wear a protective helmet and ride in a safe manner. “The use of helmets is the single m... Full story
