0Comments How Do You Discard Old Mattresses?
So finally, youre getting a new mattress! After agonizing over your old mattress and enduring the back pains its causing you, youve decided to replace this and bought yourself a new latex mattress. I know you cant wait to use it and sleep on it. But theres this very important matter you have to take care of that is, what are you going to do with the old mattress? How are you going to discard this?
Given that this mattress is more than ten years old and has been causing you sleep problems for the last few years, it would not be a good idea to consider this as a hand-me-down you can give to other members of your family. And because mattresses are big and bulky, its not something you can just throw away by the curb, or dump in the garbage bin.

0Comments Angel’s trumpet brings drama — and a sweet scent — to the garden
My introduction to angel’s trumpet came when I moved to New Orleans. Wandering around a friend’s garden at dusk in late summer, I caught a whiff of an amazing fragrance.
The Brugmansia arborea is a large-growing, tree-like plant that may reach heights of 10 feet or more.
Like many gardeners faced with a similar situation, I was not about to ask the origin of the scent. I set off to find it for myself, and it didn’t take long. It is hard to overlook a plant that brings such a dramatic presence to the garden.
There are two related plants that local gardeners call angel’s trumpet. The one I first encountered is Brugmansia arborea.
The brugmansias are large-growing, tree-like plants that may reach heights of 10 feet or more if winters are mild and they don’t freeze back.
The trunks and branches are covered with a slightly rough, tan bark.
