user: In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Herbs and vegetables that you grow at home without using pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are considered organic. To ensure that your garden is organic, use 100% organic seeds and natural fertilizers like compost to grow the herbs and vegetables. To save the most money, grow the herbs and vegetables that you use the most in your cooking.  You can purchase 100% organic seeds online or from your local plant nursery. You can also find natural fertilizers at your local plant nursery. You can grow herbs and vegetables in old milk jugs and bean cans on your porch or window sills. Foods that have a long shelf life include potatoes, onions, pulses, dried foods, and pastas. Buy food for 1 to 2 months. This will enable you to cut the cost of buying organically by a significant amount. If you are buying food for 1 to 2 months, preserve perishable food, like produce and meat, by freezing it. Put the food in a resealable bag or airtight container and place it in the freezer. Store perishable foods for up to 1 month in the freezer. Store semi-perishables like potatoes and onions in the freezer for up to 6 months. Frozen organic produce is typically cheaper than fresh produce. And even though it is cheaper, it is still as healthy as fresh produce. Look for organic produce in the frozen food section at your grocery store. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has created a list of produce called the “dirty dozen.” These fruits and vegetables are at risk of being grown with a high amount of pesticides. If you are on a budget, at least buy the organic versions of the “dirty dozen.”  Produce included in the list are peaches, strawberries, apples, grapes, spinach, celery, sweet bell peppers, potatoes, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and imported sweet peas and nectarines. The EWG is an environmental organization based in the U.S. that specializes in advocacy and research in relation to governmental subsidies, toxic chemicals, corporate accountability, and public lands. Seasonal produce is typically cheaper, whether it is organic or not. Buy produce that is in season to reduce the cost of buying organic produce.  Fruits and vegetables in season during the fall are acorn squash, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, garlic, pears, pineapples, and crab apples. Fruits and vegetables in season during the winter are clementines, grapefruit, kiwi, sweet potatoes, collard greens, and buttercup squash. Fruits and vegetables in season during the spring are artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, corn, spinach, mangoes, pineapple, peas, and strawberries. Fruits and vegetables in season during the summer are cucumbers, bell peppers, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, eggplant, green beans, tomatoes, and okra.
Summary: Grow your own herbs and vegetables. Buy food that has a long shelf life in bulk. Store perishable foods in the freezer. Check out frozen organic produce. Buy the organic versions of produce that are high in pesticides. Stick to seasonal produce.

This usually includes rulers, yardsticks, or measuring tape. The size of whatever you’re measuring will determine which measuring tool is best for you.  For example, use a measuring stick if you’re trying to measure the length of something with a rigid straight edge. Rulers are best for short distances, while yard sticks are better for objects that are 1 to 3 feet (0.30 to 0.91 m) long. Use a tape measure when you need to measure the distance around a curved object. Tape measures can bend, making them better for objects that are not perfectly flat or straight. Count the number of small lines in between the bigger, numbered lines on your measuring tool. Since each of the numbered lines represents an inch, the number of lines in between them determines how your tool breaks inches down into fractions.  If there is 1 unnumbered line, the inches are broken down into halves. If there are 3 unnumbered lines, the inches are broken down into quarters. If there are 7 unnumbered lines, the inches are broken down into eighths. If there are 15 unnumbered lines, the inches are broken down into sixteenths. Place the starting end of the measuring tool where it says “0” against the closest edge of the object or distance you’re trying to measure. Make sure the starting edge of the measuring tool and the edge of the object are perfectly aligned in order to get an accurate measurement. If the starting edge of your tool is not marked with a “0,” you can also identify it by locating the number “1” on the tool. The end that comes just before the “1” mark on your measuring tool is the “0” end. Bring the measuring tool out along the length of the object as far as it can go. Keep the tool parallel to this length the entire way in order to ensure your measurement is accurate.  When using a measuring stick, the stick should lie flat against the edge or line being measured. When using measuring tape, the tape should wrap around the entire distance being measured. This is the last numbered value represented on the measuring tool before it reaches the opposite end of the line, edge, or distance being measured. This numbered value is the number of whole inches in the length that you’re measuring. The numbered values on a ruler, yardstick, or measuring tape all correspond to whole inches. The shorter, unnumbered lines in between the numbered values are fractions of an inch. Identify the unnumbered line on the measuring tool that lands at the exact end of the distance being measured. Then, count the unnumbered lines in between the measured whole inch value and that final line, including the final line itself. This will give you the final measurement in inches of whatever you’re trying to measure. Be sure you’ve already determined how your measuring tool has divided inches into fractions before doing this.  For example, if the object you’re measuring stops on the fifth of 7 unnumbered lines after the “3” mark, then the length of the object is 3 inches plus 5/8 of an inch. If the end of the edge lands on a numbered line, there is no additional fraction to add on.

One-sentence summary -- Be sure to choose a measuring tool that measures in inches. Note how your measuring tool divides inches into fractions. Line up the start of your tool with 1 end of whatever you’re measuring. Extend the measuring tool down the object you’re measuring. Identify the last full inch your tool is measuring on the object. Count the unnumbered lines past the previous full inch value. Add the fractions you just counted to the full inch value.

Problem: Article: While punks in the 80s used crazy products like glue and starch to keep their mohawks solid, there are plenty of sprays nowadays that won’t damage your hair. Use a hair spray with a tagline like “concrete”, “frozen”, or “solid”, or with a description of extreme styles with height. To make the tips of your spikes pointier and resistant to fraying, grab a gel as well. Again, look for "max hold" or "freezing" gels. Hairspray will form the basis of the hold for you style, but gel is only for the tips of your liberty spikes or outside edge of your mohawk. While gel gives a lot of hold to shorter styles, it's too heavy to use as a main product, and will cause your mohawk or liberty spikes to fall over.
Summary:

assistant: Look for a good hair spray. Get a gel for the tips of your spikes or mohawk. Use gel only on the tips.
