Now that Christmas is over, you may be thinking about what to do with your real Christmas tree and poinsettias. Officials with ISU Extension say there are several ways to dispose of your Christmas tree.
You can place the tree in your yard or garden for use by birds and other wildlife. The branches provide shelter from strong winds and cold. You can also prune off the tree’s branches and place the boughs over perennials as winter mulch. Chip the tree and use the chipped materials as mulch around trees, shrubs or in perennial flower beds. If you can’t use the tree yourself, contact your solid waste agency or sanitation service. Most communities have some type of Christmas tree disposal program.
If given good care to your poinsettias, they should remain active for 2-3 months. Toss the poinsettias when you grow tired of them or they become unattractive. If you enjoy a challenge, it is possible to get the poinsettia to bloom again next year. Cut the stems back to within 4-6 inches of the soil in March. They may be repotted at this time. Place the poinsettia in a sunny window. Continue to water when the soil surface becomes dry to the touch. In late May, move the poinsettia outdoors. Bring back indoors in mid-September.
If you have additional questions you would like to have answered, contact the ISU Hortline at hortline@iastate.edu or 515-294-3108.
BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) – A woman has been arrested in Council Bluffs, Iowa, after a 90-minute chase that began across the Missouri River in Bellevue, Neb. The Omaha World-Herald says the pursuit began about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday when a Bellevue officer checked a car that had stopped on a highway offramp. The officer says the car nearly backed into the officer’s cruiser and then headed north toward Omaha.
The chase continued into Omaha and back to Bellevue, where the car stopped several times and sped away when officers approached. The driver eventually went to Omaha and drove east into Council Bluffs, using the westbound lanes of Interstate 80.
The woman was arrested a little after 3 a.m., when she stopped her car for good in Council Bluffs. Charges are pending in both states.
Jim Field speaks with Iowa Soybean Association Director Delbert Westphalen about the ISA trip to European Union.
