Problem: Article: The paring knife is probably the most difficult tool for this job, but it has its benefits. You don't have to clog your kitchen with a one-use tool, and a sharp knife makes clean, dry cuts compared to the wet, sticky clumps other methods can produce. Keep reading to learn the technique. After washing the lemon, cut off both ends where they begin to taper. Rest a cut surface flat on the cutting board. Cut off a strip of rind from the side of the lemon, right where it meets the white pith. It may be easiest to start near the center of the lemon, where it bulges outward. Hold the strip flat against the board with one hand, yellow side down. Press the knife blade flat on top of the strip, with the blade pointing away from your hand. Scrape the top of the strip at a slight angle, removing most of the white pith. All this means is "cut it into thin strips." To avoid poking your fingers, hold the lemon peel in place with your fingers curled down into a "claw" shape. In this position, your knuckles are closer to the blade than your fingertips. As long as you keep the sharp edge of the knife below the level of your knuckles, you are unlikely to hurt yourself even if the knife slips. Gather the thin strips in a tight row, than rotate them 90. Cut the other way using the same technique as above. Try to make the zest pieces as small as possible.
Summary: Choose a sharp, small paring knife. Cut off both ends of a clean lemon. Slice off a thin strip of zest. Remove the white pith. Julienne the strip. Dice the peel.

Problem: Article: Purchase saplings from your local nursery. These trees are able to survive in the moist soils on the river bank. These trees also serve as natural habitats for birds and insects near the river. It will take time for them to fully establish and protect against erosion. Use trees that are native to your area so you don't disrupt the local ecosystem. Find trees further along the riverbank to get an idea of what species you should plant. Since the river could cause the soil to erode, don't plant seeds directly near the river. Go to a local nursery and purchase saplings that have germinated and grown in pots. It is recommended to pick a diverse number of species that represent what naturally grows in the area. Planting larger vegetation like trees and shrubs closer to the water can actually be more damaging to the soil. As the roots grow, they will expand and protect the soil closer to the river. Use a shovel or spade to make the hole. The extra depth and width gives you extra space to fill the dirt back in. Make sure the root system comes into contact with the soil. Gently compact and firm up the soil with your foot as you fill it in so your tree has a sturdy base. Cover the entire root system with soil. Space the plants at least 2 metres (6.6ft) apart from one another.
Summary:
Pick trees like alders and willows. Plant vegetation that has already established. Keep vegetation at least 1 metre (3.3ft) away from the river. Dig a hole 2 inches (5.1cm) deeper and wider than the root system. Put the vegetation in the hole and refill it.
