We all know that plastic is a major problem for our environment, with 100 billion plastic shopping bags being used every single year in the U. S. alone. That means when we’re buying bottled water, we’re also paying good money to help companies destroy our planet. And if you’re always on the go, buying yourself a reusable, stainless-steel flask is a much smarter choice for our environment than wasting your money on plastic bottles of water.

All About the Dahlia Flower Dahlia flowers are one of America’s most popular flowers. Dahlias offer more variety to choose from than most other types of flowers, coming in varied shapes and sizes, ranging from flower heads as small as quarters to others as significant as dinner plates, flowers with colors and patterns that move through the full range of the color pallet. Growing dahlias in Wisconsin’s gardens – which range from garden zone 3b in places like Douglas and Sawyer to zone 5b in Kenosha and Milwaukee- means putting in extra work during the wintertime to make sure that they survive and can return next year. When your dahlia plant has started to die back at the end of the growing season, and the first frost has hit, cut the plant back so that its main stems only come a few inches out of the ground.

Of course, to get the most nutrients out of your DIY fertilizers, you can mix the eggshells, coffee grounds, and banana peels together.
