		<description><![CDATA[“Real trees support life” is a statement from the National Christmas Tree Association. On their website, http://www.christmastree.org/myths.cfm, this organization details how live Christmas trees do so because real trees are a renewable resource – once one tree is cut, three more are planted (for the 25 million real trees grown and sold in the US each year, close to 75 million more are replanted). Unlike artificial trees, real trees absorb carbon dioxide and other gases and emit oxygen. Plus &#8211; real trees stabilize soil, provide a wildlife refuge and protect water supplies. A compelling case can be made about the benefits of real trees to our environment.  Real Christmas trees do present more challenges to homeowners. Just getting them in the stand is sometimes difficult &#8211; especially larger trees.  Straightening and turning them can be more problematic because they are heavier and bushier than artificial trees. Now there is a &#8230; <a href="http://dalenproducts.com/2011/10/24/live-christmas-trees-help-our-environment-according-to-the-national-christmas-tree-association-and-the-wonderstand-is-designed-for-just-live-trees/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can scarecrow devices really work? The garden is ready to harvest. As you start to pick your ripe, much-anticipated berry patch, you notice that there aren’t as many berries as yesterday. What happened to them? The most likely culprit is a bird. If you want birds in your yard, grow blueberries or strawberries, they’ll arrive before the berries are ripe and they won’t leave until there isn’t one left. The second most likely pest is a small animal like a rabbit or a digger like a squirrel or skunk. Mr. McGregor’s garden situation is now your garden situation. And last, but not least, deer can decimate a garden crop in one night. Scarecrow devices like plastic owls and blow up snakes can make a difference in your efforts to deter these pests. Scarecrow devices modeled after the Great Horned Owl are particularly effective. Also called Big Hoot Owl, Cat Owl &#8230; <a href="http://dalenproducts.com/2011/09/06/keeping-critters-out-of-your-garden/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cicadas are coming! What are you going to do about your garden? If you haven’t ever witnessed the arrival of the cicadas eating and eating your young plant leaves in hours (NOT days), you might not have thought about how to best protect your new plants from the damage that can occur.  While the periodical 13-year cicada (specifically known as the Brood XIX Magicicada), is an amazing insect that won’t bite or sting you, it can munch on all your baby fruit trees, garden vegetables, berry bushes and flowers. With their mass emergences, cicadas are sometimes confused with &#8220;seventeen-year locusts&#8221;, but they are not locusts; locusts belong to the order Orthoptera. Cicadas are sucking insects, about 1.5-inches long that appear from May to July. They are most numerous in the last two weeks of May and first week of June. They are black and have reddish-orange eyes and legs.
