Dear Abhy: Could you please address
the etiquette of lasting samples al stores,

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van
Haren, also known as Jeanne Phillips,

line Phillips. Contact Dear Abhy at m’h’h’.

Title I Teacher
Dear Teacher: Thank you for the per-
tinent information. Read on for some in-
structive input from another reader;
Dear Ahby: Many schools have “I lelp-
ing Hands” funds available for this pur-
pose and would allow the family to do-
nate to these specific girls anonymously,
if need be. As an educator. I encourage
everyone to reach out to a local school to
offer help to struggling high school stu-
dents. If they arc in a position to do so,
they should ask if they can sponsor a stu-
dent in the college application process or
sign up to mentor.
A little goes a long way
Tennessee teen
Dear Teen: l isten to your friends and
approach him in person. .A smile and a
hello should break the ice. Then follow
mon sense. I hope that readers w ho don’t
know better will leam from your letter for
the sake of everyone's health.
Dear Abby: “Enough to Share" (Dec.
5) was interested in supporting her daugh-
ter's friends through the college applica-
tion process. “Enough” could mention to
the family that SAI and AC! fee waivers
should be available through the school
counseling department il the twins are
considered low -income.
Students should also know about gov-
ernment assistance programs, such as
the Pell Grant, which can give additional
money tow ard tuition for any low-income
student. I hey can get more information
through their schools when they fill out
their FAFSA forms.
Dr. William M. Johnson is a horticulturist
with the Galveston County Office of Texas
A&M AgriLife Extension Service, llsit his
roots. In a struggle to survive, the tree people will also be sampling that food.
Samples are supposed to be GIVEN
to each person And when that happens,
the food handler should be wearing clean
gloves and be the only person touching
the food.
Please let people know that once some-
one without gloves touches this food, the
demonstrator must discard it lor health
reasons. \lso, samples cannot be given to
children w ithout their parents' permission,
and any food allergies must be addressed
before someone asks for a sample.

Dear Abby: There is
a boy I like at school.
He is a very well-known
person around school.
I'm not. I do have a w ide
variety of friends, and I
even talk to some of his.
My friends know I like ______________
him. and they would like DP AD ARRV
for me to talk to him. I
wouldn’t mind that, but what would I say ?
I hey want it to happen in person, but I
want to do it by text, where I feel more
me. What should I do?
ter, mulch helps to keep the soil warmer and
promotes early root and shoot growth in the
spi mg.
Disease control is another benefit of
mulch Many soil-borne diseases in the veg-
etable garden can be reduced or pre\ ented by
eliminating “splash up” from the soil from
water droplets. Mulch creates a barrier be-
tween the soil and the plant, which keeps the
disease-causing pathogens (such as fungal
spores) from splashing on plant leaves.
Mulch should be applied to a 3-to-4 inch
depth to provide maximum benefits. This
depth is thick enough to reduce soil moisture
loss from evaporation but will allow water
that is applied by ram or irrigation to filter
down and promote the development of a
strong root sy stem.
Properly applied mulch around the trunk
of a tree has the added benefit of prov iding a
phy sical barrier around the tree's trunk help
to reduce damage from line trimmers.
\Y hat is Volcano Mulching?
Mounds of mulch that are 10, 12. 18 or
more inches thick, piled up around the trunk ■ it tip with a question about some activity
at the base of trees have earned the name
“mulch volcano.” Harmful to trees, this
ill-advised yet well-intentioned practice is
becoming more commonplace.
Mulch applied too thick on topoftree roots and try to grab a sample w ith dirty, bleed-
results in suffocation of the existing upper- ing, scabbv hands not realizing that other
most i
then grows new roots into a mulch volcano.
Trees growing under these stressful condi-
tions can actually appear healthy for a while.
Eventually though, these aboveground roots
can encircle the tree and strangle it to death
as the trunk increases in diameter.
The root zone of an established tree ex-
tends far beyond its drip line, so mounding
the mulch against the trunk does little for the
roots. The mulch volcano can hold the water
that was intended for the roots. Also, mois-
ture trapped by the mulch can soften the bark
of trees, opening the doty to insect pests and
disease problems.
Now is a great time to get out there and
mulch new beds or replenish mulch to exist-
ing beds. 11 you've never used mulch in your
landscape, this is a great time to give il a try;
You will be amazed at the fresh appearance
it gives your yard right now and the waler
sav ings you'll sec in the future.
Just be sure to say N() to \ olcano mulching.
DO JUST ONE THING by Danny Seo
Many beverages like milk, soy milk, wine and even water come packaged in paperboard
containers called Tetra Paks, fhese paper containers are made of several layers ol
paperboard, aluminum and other recyclables, and they used to be hard to recy cle. Now.
many communities accept them for recycling, which is great news. When recycling Tetra
Paks, you can leave the plastic caps on; they are recyclable. And don't (latten them too much

How do I decide on a top-
ic or topics to discuss in my J
weekly garden columns? F
Typically, I do not have a M
firm concept until the week- I
end when I reflect on the I
gardening issues presented ®
over the preceding week.
Not so with this column ____
One homeowner indi- WM.M. Johnson
cated that after reading last
week s column about termites and improper
mulching along a home foundation, he im-
mediately went outside to his yard and re-
moved mulch that had been applied over the
first layer of brick at his home. He indicated
that a yard maintenance crew had applied the
mulch. 1 Ic also indicated that his first thought
was to call the yard maintenance crew and
demand that they remove the excess mulch
but had second thoughts about the matter
since he had paid for the excess mulch (and
its application).
Voila! Fhe topic lor this week's column
had been presented to me (and I finally get
to use my high school French course). If that
circumstance was not a sufficient matter of
serendipity, I then came across another ac-
tion that yelled write-about-me While on an
evening walk around my neighborhood last
Friday, I walked past a home that had been
recently mulched. I ven the landscape beds
around my HOA (Homeowners Association)
arc improperly mulched. Now I'm thinking
it's payback time...I should send my El( >A
one of those dreaded letters.
I do not routinely carry a camera on my
walks so I had to lug a camera along on my
next evening walk to capture the photo ac-
companying this column. Not only had the
tree been mulched volcano-style hut the
front landscape beds along the concrete
foundation had been mulched above the first
layer of brick.
The Benefits of Mulch
Although mulch is not particularly glam-
orous, it can be your best friend. It can be
used in a variety of locations to help
weed control and to help save water.
Research conducted through Texas A&M
University shows that two-thirds of the wa-
ter applied by irrigation is lost through evap-
oration. That means the water evaporates
from the soil surface without ever being ab-
sorbed by the plant. When mulch is applied,
evaporation is limited, leaving more water
for plants to use and thereby reduces waler
application. Not only does mulch conserve
water, it also moderates the soil temperature
during our hot Gulf Coast summers. In win-
