The Gallipolis Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the crash after receiving the call at around 7:15 a.m., Wednesday. Preliminary information from highway patrol indicated that the gravel township road was “very soft and muddy” at the time of the crash, with the bus traveling near the edge of the roadway, sliding into the ditch.

Mindy Kearns file photo Flood waters caused damage throughout the region in mid-February, including in the downtown Pomeroy area. Federal relief funds requested Kasich asks Trump for disaster declaration from Feb. flooding Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — In the wake of last month’s severe weather and ﬂooding along the Ohio River and its tributaries, Governor John R. Kasich has asked President Donald Trump for a Major Disaster Declaration so local governments saddled with infrastructure damage can begin the rebuilding process. “The greatest impact from this incident is damage to critical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and public buildings,” Kasich said in a letter to the President. “There are reports of hundreds of road washouts. Some of these projects will require extensive engineering and design before construction can even begin, resulting in prolonged road closures, extensive detours and dangerous traveling conditions.” Kasich issued an emergency proclamation Feb. 24 that ultimately included 20 Ohio counties. A joint preliminary damage assessment, conducted by local, state and federal emergency management ofﬁcials in mid-March, documented damages to county, village and township roads, bridges and public buildings totaling $44 million. An additional $20 million in damages occurred to state highways. Thanks in part to previous mitigation efforts, an estimated $19.9 million in additional damages were prevented. Counties covered by Kasich’s request for federal assistance include: Adams, Athens, Belmont, Brown, Clermont, Columbiana, Gallia, Hamilton, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Noble, Muskingum, Perry, Pike, Scioto, Vinton and Washington counties. In Meigs County, damage estimates from the February ﬂash ﬂooding as well as ﬂooding along the Ohio River and Shade River is just shy of $3 million, although the numbers may change as repairs take place. Among the damage reported by the Meigs County Emergency Management Agency was $1.2 million by the Meigs County Highway Department, including damage to two bridges; nearly $550,000 in the village of Pomeroy; $404,000 in the village of Racine; and $178,000 in Orange Township. In total, 19 villages, townships, school districts and other government agencies reported damage in the county as a result of ﬂooding. Meigs County also issued a local disaster declaration following the ﬂooding in the county. On Wednesday, Ohio Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman sent a joint letter to President Trump asking that he act swiftly in acting on the request of Kasich. “Severe storms and extreme rainfall last month in southern Ohio led to signiﬁcant ﬂooding, causing substantial damage to critical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and buildings. The State and local governments in the affected areas do not have the capability to sufﬁciently respond to this major disaster, and therefore, federal assistance is necessary to supplement the State’s recovery efforts,” wrote Portman and Brown in a letter to Trump. A timeline of the ﬂooding an events surrounding the response provided by Kasich’s ofﬁce is as follows: Monday, March 26 Gov. Kasich sends letter to President requesting a Major Disaster Declaration. Tuesday, March 13 Joint FEMA/Ohio Pre- liminary damage assessment begins with local ofﬁcials, runs for four days. Monday, March 12 FEMA joint damage assistance team arrives in Ohio, meets with state ofﬁcials. Tuesday, March 6 Ohio EMA makes request to FEMA for a joint FEMA/Ohio Preliminary Damage Assessment for Public Assistance. Wednesday, February 28 Ohio EMA facilitated the clean-up kits to Brown County. Tuesday, February 27 Ohio EMA facilitated delivery of 50 ﬂood cleanup kits from the American Red Cross to Brown County. Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) sends a construction liaison to Scioto County. Ohio National Guard provided overhead imagery along the Ohio River in Brown, Clermont and highland counties with air lift provided by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Several OU programs recognized in most recent U.S. News Best Graduate School rankings ATHENS — Ohio University once again placed well in a variety of U.S. News and World Reports Best Graduate School Rankings. The 2019 rankings, released this morning, included 19 Ohio University programs in a wide variety of ﬁelds. The biggest jump came from the Voinovich School of Public Affairs, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. It went from a tie for 96th in the 2018 rankings to a tie for 77th nationally. “Ohio University is one of the nation’s premiere institutions and having so many of our schools and programs included in the U.S. News rankings demonstrates that,” Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis said. “Strong leadership across the University has helped us continue to focus on providing a transformative education for our students and enhancing Ohio’s reputation on a world stage.” The Patton College of Education (tied for 130th nationally) was also included in the rankings. U.S. News also published rankings for the following programs:Industrial/manufacturing/systems engineering, tie for 70th; Social Work, tie for 75th; Physics, tie for 91st; Chemical engineering, tie for 100th; Part-time MBA, tie for 101st; Mathematics, tie for 108th; Civil engineering, tie for 121st; Chemistry, tie for 122nd; Electrical/electronic/communications engineering, tie for 144th; Nursing master’s, tie for 155th; Biological sciences, tie for 190th. The Russ College of Engineering, and the mechanical engineering, medical research, primary care medicine, and computer science programs were all ranked, but the ranks were not published. The Best Graduate School rankings are based on expert opinions about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students. The data come from statistical surveys of more than 2,000 programs and from reputation surveys sent to more than 20,000 academics and professionals, conducted in fall 2017 and early 2018.

The event is sponsored and coordinated by the Appalachian Valley Chapter of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NVHDA), which wanted to give back to veterans and introduce them to the hunting dog sport. NVHDA funds the event through a grant from the Ohio Department of Wildlife (ODW) and Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to provide for 24 veterans to hunt pheasants with trained dogs. “Our NAVHDA chapter worked with partners of ODNR, and did the grant money to have a good day out with the veterans,” said Steve Kane, one of the handlers. “My father was a World War II vet, my wife was a Vietnam Navy corpsman, my brothers are veterans, it’s a great way to pay back tribute to these guys. They are our heroes, we don’t appreciate our veterans enough. We were able to work and put a program together, this is a fun day. Today is my birthday and what a better day to spend than with our veterans.” Kane brought out his dog Lizzy, who ﬂushed out four birds for two hunters, Wes Corbin and Braeden Windham. From left are Braeden Windham, Steve Kane, Nick Shale, and Wes Corbin with Lizzy the dog and their harvest for the morning. Corbin, born and raised in Gallia and Windham of Anna, Ohio both participated in the hunt for the fellowship and camaraderie that is intrinsic to the day. “The camaraderie is a big part, to come out and spend some time with some other vets, get out and hunt, and to have a good time,” said Corbin. “I think Wes hit the nail on the head there. It’s good to get out, be outdoors and do things we like doing,” said Windham. Together they harvested three pheasants, with the fourth being too close to the road for a safe shot. Veterans were taken out in different groups during the day, with each getting the chance at ﬁve birds. McKeans Pheasant Farm worked with the Heroes Tribute Hunt by providing the birds and the land for the hunt. Before each group was sent into the ﬁeld they would release ﬁve birds. Small groups of hunters would be led out in the ﬁeld with a handler and a hunting dog, a spotter, and the occasional photographer. One of the volunteers with Windham and Corbin was Nick Shale, a conservation wildlife biologist with the state of Ohio. “I like getting out. My dad is a Vietnam vet and he was asked to help out and walk with folks that wanted to get out, enjoy the outdoors and get a little hunt in, and meet some like minded people,” said Shale. “So I came and volunteered to walk and be of assistance any way I can. I’m not a vet, but my good friends are and my family is, I just wanted to get out and support a good cause.” Multiple local groups came together to make the day possible. The Elks farm provides their grounds and shelter house, and the Gallia County Conservation Club volunteers brought in the National Archery in the Schools Program and the Passport to Fishing Program. The Athens ODNR allowed the use of their trap thrower and the Gallia Shooting Aces 4-H club ran the trap shooting area. Gallia Soil and Water brought in its Furs and Skulls program to exhibit. The Emblem Club catered breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and Bridgeport Equipment rented two utility vehicles at no cost for the day. “We love the partnerships that we have created with our local organizations and appreciate all of the donations that the community is willing Photos by Morgan McKinniss | OVP Braeden Windham took a quick shot at the first pheasant of the morning, making quick work of the bird with a clean shot.

We love getting together every year with the friends that we’ve made because of this event,” said Robyn Slone, HTH event coordinator. “I think we’ve seen new friendships created and old friendships rekindled with our veterans getting the chance to fellowship with other veterans.

This doesn’t happen overnight, stitching and weaving takes practice. Others may not see the new, more comfortable you right away, so be patient with yourself. Try on different hats—literally. Wear an old toboggan around your upscale neighborhood and sense how you feel. Do you feel not worthy? Don a snazzy outﬁt to the trendy spot in town that you usually avoid because you’re not sure what’s on the menu. Feel out of place? That’s okay. As a friend of mine says, “They can’t eat you.” And what’s the worst that can happen? Someone laughs at you? So what. Laugh with them. They may be sewing and regenerating their own new skin. Let them. You focus on yours. Besides, the resulting endorphin rush from laughing makes everyone feel good. My wish for you is that you feel just as comfortable in the skin you’re in no matter whether you’re dining on mashed potatoes at a wooden countrystyle table or enjoying lobster bisque at a fancy ﬁnger-bowl banquet. When you’re skin ﬁts you well, you will be in fashion wherever you go and most importantly, you will always feel the comfort of your own inner designer. Now, strut that new look. Self-improvement never goes out of style. Michele Savaunah Zirkle is a native of Meigs County, author of “Rain No Evil” and host of Life Speaks on AIR radio. Access more at soundcloud.comlifespeaks. THEIR VIEW It was a bad week for the internet The word “breach” evidently struck terror in the heart of Facebook last week. On March 16, the company brass pressured the Guardian not to use it, threatening to sue, according to a reporter’s tweet. As Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg and his coterie well knew, the U.K. newspaper was readying a dramatic expose that was not exactly going to redound to the glory of Facebook. Facebook, the world was about to learn, had not just been infested with Russian trolls creating cacophony and discord. It had been undermined by alleged data thieves. What’s worse, Facebook had been hospitable to the breach. Even solicitous. These revelations drew notice even from Americans skeptical of the notion that attacks on the internet represent acts of war. A grassroots #DeleteFacebook campaign began, which Zuckerberg, usually blase about such things, admitted made him nervous. Alex Stamos, the chief security ofﬁcer at Facebook, announced he would resign from the company in August, having reportedly been appalled by the company’s failures of vigilance. Leaders of two separate congressional committees called on Zuckerberg to testify. In prime time, Zuckerberg offered a halting mea culpa that reassured neither investors nor investigators. All the while, the deluge. Evidence has surfaced daily and sometimes it — Facebook prohourly this week Virginia ﬁles. that the internet Heffernan What a week for is under assault.

According to stillbreaking news, the data of hundreds of millions of Americans have been exploited. According to the March 22 indictments, intellectual property has been stolen. Our power grids have been threatened (Russian hackers), and by now we ought to know our social media has been choked with disorienting lies optimized to upset us. The vertigo online is an effect of what information warfare expert Molly McKew calls “data pollution” — pervasive digital noise that can stultify democracy, media and markets. “We are all getting false signals,” journalist Craig Silverman said this month in testimony before the Knight Commission on Trust, Media and Democracy. “Our human faculties for sense making, and evaluating and validating information, are being challenged and in some ways destroyed.” We’re certainly in the thick of false signals and data pollution right now.

For decades, Social Security has been providing valuable information and tools to help you build ﬁnancial security. Here’s your opportunity to ﬁnd out a little more, with some lesser-known facts about Social Security. 1. Social Security pays beneﬁts to children. Social Security pays beneﬁts to unmarried children whose parents are deceased, disabled, or retired. See Beneﬁts for Children at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ EN-05-10085.pdf for the speciﬁc requirements. 2. Social Security can pay beneﬁts to parents. Most people know that when a worker dies, we can pay beneﬁts to surviving spouses and children. What you may not know is that under certain circumstances, we can pay beneﬁts to a surviving parent. Read our Fact Sheet Parent’s Beneﬁts, available at www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ EN-05-10036.pdf, for the details. 3.

Under current law, MFCUs may investigate and prosecute patient abuse and neglect only if it occurs in a health care facility or in some circumstances, in a board and painkillers in an unlawful manner, resulting in death or great bodily harm to the patients. Under current law, although the patient harm caused by the distribution of those opioids may have been criminal, our MFCUs would be hampered or prevented from investigating or prosecuting the case of patient abuse because it occurred in a setting other than a health care facility or board and care facility,” the attorneys general added in the letter. care facility. This means other cases of abuse and neglect of Medicaid patients – such as in a home health care setting – currently fall outside the unit’s authority. The attorneys general also stressed the importance of expanding this authority in light of the national opioid epidemic. “Consider, for example, a situation in which a Medicaid beneﬁciary in a home or community-based setting is provided prescription opioid Trump hopeful ahead of US-NK talks By Matthew Pennington Associated Press WASHINGTON — An enigmatic North Korean leader takes a secretive train trip to China to afﬁrm fraternal ties and declare a commitment to denuclearization. It sounds like Kim Jong Un’s visit this week, but his father and predecessor Kim Jong Il made similar declarations on a trip to Beijing, months before he died in 2011. Yet North Korea’s nuclear weapons development only speeded up. President Donald Trump expressed optimism Wednesday after the younger Kim’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying there’s “a good chance” that Kim will “do what is right for his people and for humanity.” But there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical that the U.S.-North Korean summit slated for May will produce the breakthrough that Washington wants. After a year of escalating tensions, Trump agreed to talks after South Korean ofﬁcials relayed that Kim was committed to ridding the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons and was willing to halt nuclear and missile tests. That has tamped down fears of war that elevated as Trump and Kim traded threats and insults and North Korea demonstrated it was close to being able to strike the U.S. with a nuclear-tipped missile.

But while Trump has elevated expectations of what that sitdown would achieve, North Korea has yet to spell out what it wants in return for abandoning a weapons program that Kim likely views as a guarantee for the survival of his totalitarian regime. The readout of Kim’s remarks to Xi as reported by China’s state news agency Xinhua strongly indicates Pyongyang is looking for signiﬁcant American concessions. “The issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can be resolved,” Kim was quoted as saying, “if South Korea and the United States respond to our efforts with goodwill, create an atmosphere of peace and stability while taking progressive and synchronous measures for the realization of peace.” To many North Korea watchers, that sounds like old wine in a new bottle. In May 2011, the elder Kim, who was making what would be his ﬁnal trip to China, told then-president Hu Jintao that the North was “adhering to the goal of denuclearization.” THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News at Six (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Newswatch (N) THURSDAY, MARCH 29 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Connecticut won 94-65. All 4 No. 1 seeds reach women’s Final Four ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The women’s Final Four is set, and it’s one exclusive party. UConn, Louisville, Mississippi State and Notre Dame are headed to Columbus, Ohio, marking the fourth time in tournament history that four No. 1 seeds made it to the national semiﬁnals. It’s the 11th consecutive Final Four appearance for the Huskies, breaking a tie with John Wooden and the UCLA men’s team for the Division I record. UConn is into the national semiﬁnals for the 19th time overall, snapping a tie with Tennessee for the most in women’s basketball history. The Huskies will face former Big East rival Notre Dame on Friday night. The Cardinals will play the Bulldogs in the other game. UConn’s 111-game winning streak was stopped at this point last season when Mississippi State won their semiﬁnal on a last-second shot by Morgan William in overtime. The Huskies are undefeated again after knocking out defending national champion South Carolina in the Albany Region ﬁnal. “Every team starts the season saying that’s our goal to go to the Final Four. For us, it’s an opportunity to go back to where we felt like we didn’t really give our best effort,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “We lost to a really good team. Happened in a way that was really, really disappointing. I know that we were anxious to go back and put ourselves in that same situation and see how much we’ve changed since last year.” The Irish and Huskies have a storied history on the game’s biggest stage. The teams met early in December and UConn had to rally from an 11-point deﬁcit in the fourth quarter to stay unbeaten. This might be one of the best coaching jobs by Muffet McGraw at Notre Dame. She lost four players over the course of the season to ACL injuries, but the Irish ﬁnd themselves back in the Final Four after rallying from a six-point halftime deﬁcit to beat Oregon 84-74 on Monday night. It’s Notre Dame’s ﬁrst trip to the national semiﬁnals since 2015. “This one’s just so rewarding because I think even though we’re a No. 1 seed, it’s a little unexpected,” McGraw said. The Bulldogs have lost only one game this season, falling to the Gamecocks in the ﬁnal of the Southeastern Conference Tournament. They are back in the Final Four for the second straight season led virtually by the same group that got them to their ﬁrst national semiﬁnal last year. “They’ve lived all year with a bull’s eye on their backs. That’s hard to do, y’all,” Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said. “These kids are special.” Louisville has had its own special season, winning the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and tournament titles for the ﬁrst time in school history. They entered the NCAAs as a No. 1 seed for the ﬁrst time and are back in the Final Four for a third time under coach Jeff Walz. The Cardinals are led by Asia Durr and Myisha Hines-Allen. Louisville also made the Final Four in 2009 and 2013. The team advanced to the title game both times before losing to UConn. They understand the task in front of them facing Mississippi State. “They’re a really good team and we’ll have to be well-prepared against them,” Walz said.

There was also a milestone number that seemed so improbable: 3,000 hits. “You dream one day what if feels like to win an MVP, to be an All-Star, to win a Gold Glove” said Cano, the Seattle Mariners’ second baseman. “When you’re a kid, you think, ‘I wish I could get 3,000 one day.’ … It’s one of those things that once you get to the big leagues you know how hard it is, and then you understand at the same time there are not too many guys that get 3,000 hits. It’s hard.” Just how hard? There are only 31 players who have done it. And the only two active in the majors are 44-year-old outﬁelder Ichiro Suzuki, back with Seattle; and Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre, the 3,000-hit club’s newest member . And that milestone could be becoming even more elusive. “Longevity is one thing,” said A.J.

They spend their days digging long tunnels from their dens in search of grubs, earthworms and tuber plants all year long. Moles can be gray, black, brown, or gold and will be between six and eight inches in length. Their wide front feet are designed for excavating, and moles have very small eyes and angular snouts. Many times moles are to blame for zig-zagging lines across a yard. Channels are typically dug between five to eight inches below the surface of the soil, according to the home and garden resource site Hunker. The tunnels are only about 1.5 inches in diameter and one may see small molehills of excavated soil in areas around the yard. Mole tunnels can be followed through the yard thanks to the appearance of elevated ridges on the surface of the soil. Voles Even though their name is similar, voles look nothing like moles. They are also known by the name meadow mice and look more like mice than they do moles or gophers. Voles are small as well and primarily feed on foliage and plant roots. It can take a trained eye to differentiate between holes created by moles and voles, but foliage eaten around an entry or exit hole suggests the presence of voles.

Groundhogs, gophers, prairie dogs Groundhogs, gophers and prairie dogs also are burrowing rodents. These rodents are larger than moles and voles. Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, are the largest of the group, followed by prairie dogs and gophers. Prairie dogs tend to be more social than groundhogs and gophers and may be seen congregating together. Gophers tend to stay below ground and will pull food into their burrows, says the Florida-based A Wildlife Whisperer.

Once the animal doing the burrowing has been identified, homeowners can begin removing food sources and altering conditions to make their yards less critter-friendly. In the instance of moles, using a grub-killer can diminish their numbers. Wire mesh fences buried underground can deter digging into garden beds. Homeowners who are vigilant about disrupting burrows and tunnels may encourage rodents to relocate. If burrowing wildlife prove problematic, homeowners can work with professional exterminators to assess the situation. Did you know? L eaf spot is a term used to describe various diseases that affect the foliage of ornamentals and shade trees. According to the Missouri Botanical Garden, the majority of instances of leaf spot are caused by fungi, though some are the result of bacteria. While leaf spot can contribute to some defoliation in a plant, the Missouri Botanical Garden notes that established plants can tolerate nearcomplete defoliation if it occurs late in the season or less frequently than every year. However, small trees or those that are newly planted are more vulnerable to damage resulting from defoliation than established trees. Damage from leaf spot tends to occur in the spring, when wet weather and wind splashes and blows spores from fungi onto newly emerging leaves. The sporesthen germinate in the wet leaves, ultimately infecting them.

Rather than soil, all you may need for a hydroponic garden is water to grow a variety of healthy, strong plants. Although it seems like a futuristic concept, hydroponics — or growing plants without soil — actually dates back many centuries. The hanging Gardens of Babylon and The Floating Gardens of China are two of the earliest examples of hydroponics. According to Fullbloom Hydroponics, hydroponic gardening is a method of growing plants in a water-based, nutrientrich solution. Instead of soil, roots are supported by an inert material, such as pellets, perlite, or vermiculite. Some people use coconut fiber, sand or gravel as well. The key is that the substance not supply any additional nutrition to the plant. In some instances, the roots grow in water alone. Hydroponics works so well because the person doing the gardening can directly control the nutrients, oxygen and light according to what the plant needs. A nutrition-based water delivery system delivers food to the roots in a highly soluble form, rather than the roots having to search through the soil and extract the same nutrients. Absorbing food with very little effort means the plant can divert its energy to growing and flower production. This method of no-soil growth can be used just about anywhere. Although it has not yet edged out traditional farming methods, hydroponics is gaining popularity among entrepreneurs and hobbyists. An added attraction to hydroponics is its efficiency. The gardening resource Maximum Yield says hydroponics is ideal where traditional farming is not an option, such as in large cities where there is little to no access to agriculturally amenable land. Hydroponics can even be merged with vertical farming methods, helping to save space and increase output. Hydroponic gardens can be placed anywhere there is access to water and natural or simulated sunlight. Empty warehouses, rooftops, old shipping containers, and much more can be turned into hydroponic garden locations with minimal effort. Scientists say that there can be drastic differences in growth rates and yield from hydroponic and soil plants. The group Greentrees Hydroponics says the growth rate for a hydroponic plant can be 30 to 50 percent faster than a soil plant grown under the same conditions. Environmentalists tout that hydroponic gardening is also beneficial to the environment because the plants require considerably less water than those produced with soil gardening and require fewer pesticides or other amendments to thrive. Hobbyists looking to dabble in hydroponics can find many different hydroponic systems on the market today, in an array of prices and sizes. Wicking, ebb and flow, aeroponics, nutrient film, and deepwater culture are different hydroponic systems, each with their own advantages. Once gardeners get the knack of hydroponics, they may not want to turn back to traditional soil gardening again. ulch is available in various forms. Like other land and garden products, mulch can go a long way toward helping plants thrive. Mulch comprises just about any material that is spread over the surface of soil. Its purpose is primarily to help soil retain moisture. In addition, mulch can staunch weed growth, keep soil cool, improve the aesthetics of garden beds, and even improve soil nutrient composition. When the right mulch is chosen, it can reduce the amount of time homeowners spend watering and weeding their gardens and insulate plants from dramatic changes in weather. Gardeners may not realize that mulch also can prevent garden soil from becoming overly compacted, according to HGTV. This can mean beneficial earthworms can move easily through the soil, creating channels for water and depositing their nutrient-rich waste products. Gardeners can choose organic or inorganic mulch. Organic mulches are derived from natural materials that will decompose over time, lending organic matter as well as various nutrients to the soil. Organic mulches also may contain beneficial microorganisms that can fight against plant diseases. Inorganic mulches may be made of stones, landscape fabrics and plastic. Both types will need to be amended or replaced as they degrade. Those who want the most environmentally-friendly mulching materials can choose all-natural mulches instead of synthetic alternatives. Did you know? One oft-shared piece of pruning advice is that covering a newly pruned area with tar, paint or varnish can inhibit the fungal organisms that will get into the new cut, leading to a diseased tree, shrub or plant.

ID# 519902 To work effectively, mulch should be applied in a two- to three-inch layer of material, state the experts at Old World Garden Farms. This is the ideal amount to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth without choking plants. Also, mulch that is too thick may make it impossible for water to penetrate, or it may prevent the soil from airing out, causing continuously wet conditions that lead to root and stem rot. The University of Connecticut Home & Garden Education Center says mulch should not be placed directly against plant crowns or tree bases, as this can promote the development of disease. It may also serve as a habitat for bark- and stem-eating rodents. The center also suggests watering newly installed bark or wood mulches to prevent fungi from colonizing in dry mulch and according to the experts at Fine Gardening. Unfortunately, there is no surefire way to prevent microscopic organisms from infiltrating a new cut.

Home landscapers considering mulch types may find that compost, manure and grass clippings (from nonpesticidetreated lawns) can be inexpensive and versatile in garden beds. The home advice site The Spruce notes that newspaper may also be effective. Many newspapers have switched over to organic dyes, especially for their black and white sections. Newspapers are an inexpensive way to suppress weeds and act like organic mulch in beds. They can be covered with other organic mulch, like shredded bark, for more visual appeal. Mulch can be a versatile asset when doing gardening projects around home landscapes. And the benefits are more than just aesthetic. will keep moisture in the new cut, which helps fungus and other microorganisms grow.

Other edibles, such as fresh lettuce for a small luncheon salad or a handful of fresh parsley right out of a pot to add to a marinade, also add a lot to meals. The convenience and flavor of freshly grown edibles propels many home gardeners to grow produce and herb gardens in their yards. But those short on outdoor space may be happy to learn that many edibles grow equally as well indoors as outdoors. Many people maintain comfortable temperatures between 70 and 75 F in their homes all year long, which can be the ideal condition for growing an array of edibles no matter the season. For those with homes that receive ample sunlight (or if homeowners are willing to supplement with artifical light), growing conditions can be even stronger. An indoor garden can comprise as much space as a homeowner is willing to devote. Shelving can maximize vertical areas and enable gardeners to include even more planting room. Keep these tips in mind when cultivating indoor edible gardens. Tomatoes: Tomatoes should be reserved for the sunniest spot in a home or one where additional UV light can be used. Tomatoes will need pots or containers that are roughly six inches deep with ample drainage. Keep in mind that tomatoes grown indoors will be smaller than outside fruits, and you may want to consider plum or cherry tomato varieties.
