Q: Garlic needs about 1in (2.5cm) of water a week to thrive in cool or warm temperatures. During summer months with very little rainfall, check your garlic plant's soil several times a week for dryness. Stick your finger in the soilif it is dry instead of moist, water it until the soil is damp but not waterlogged. Garlic needs plenty of nitrogen to produce a strong harvest. From the time the garlic shoots emerge to harvest, give your plants a fish emulsion fertilizer every other week or if your plant develops yellow leaves (a sign of nitrogen deficiency). You can buy fish emulsion fertilizer at many garden centers or nurseries. If you can't find a fish emulsion fertilizer, another nitrogen-rich fertilizer will work as an alternative. The garlic scape is a large, curled blossom on the top of garlic plants. Remove the scape when it grows to redirect your plant's energy towards growing large, healthy bulbs. Cook with the scape to keep it from going to waste. You can find scape recipes online, from using scape in stir-fry to making a scape salad. The scape can be used as an alternative to chives or green onions. Excessive weeds can reduce your plant's yield by over half. To prevent weeds from taking your garlic's nutrients, pull weeds regularly before they get out of hand.
A: Water your garlic plants about once a week. Spray a liquid fertilizer on your plant twice a month. Cut back your plants' "scape" for fuller bulbs. Weed the area around your garlic at least once a week.

Article: The nosy neighbor across the street is your best friend when it comes to protecting your home. Criminals usually case a neighborhood before committing a crime, so they will know when you leave for work. Watchful neighbors who are home while you are at work make you much less likely to be robbed. A dog is a big responsibility, but they are very effective at deterring burglars. You want to keep burglars out, so bark matters more than bite. A small yappy dog is a more effective deterrent than a large quiet one. Don't make it easy on thieves. An open door or window even if it's only while you are walking the dog makes your home an easy target. Get in the habit of locking every door and window when leaving, after entering and before bedtime. And don't forget to secure your dog or cat door. The only thing worse than leaving your door unlocked is letting a criminal have the keys. Don't keep a hidden key outside your house. Thieves know the most likely hiding places, so whether it is under a mat, in a flowerpot, or hidden in a fake rock, they will probably find it. Instead, give a spare key to your neighbor. Don't carry house keys on a key ring bearing your home address or leave house keys with your car in a commercial parking lot or with an attendant. Even if you don't really have security or a dog, a sign can be an effective deterrent. Criminals case neighborhoods. If they can see valuables or even if you just look much richer than your neighbors they are more likely to target you. Draw blinds and shut curtains to keep items out of view and prevent criminals from "window shopping." If you have a fancy car, keep it in the garage. Don't advertise new purchases by leaving boxes on the curb. Put them in your recycling bin. Or break the boxes down and fold them inside out, then put them out just before the pickup time. Plumbing or home improvement projects give workers ample time to case your home; information they might pass on to criminals. Be sure to ask potential contractors if their employees are subject to criminal background checks. Criminals want to get in and out of homes as quickly as possible. Make it difficult on them by hiding or securing valuables. Consider buying a small safe that bolts to the floor. Rent a safe-deposit box for extra-valuable items. Keep car keys and garage remotes hidden. Stash jewelry or cash in places where thieves are unlikely to look: Use old, cleaned out shampoo, conditioner or moisturizer bottles. Use an old spice jar. Paint the inside with glue and add herbs so it looks full. Then put cash in a plastic bag, insert in the jar and keep with your other spices. Hide valuables in a full feminine napkin or tampon box. Make a slit in a tennis ball, squeeze to open, and hide valuables inside If they are stolen, this will make it much more likely that you can recover them. Engrave jewelry with your name or a number and take a photo of it. This will make it more difficult to sell and aid in catching the thief. Make sure you record the serial numbers for your smart phones, computers, televisions, and other expensive electronics, as this will make them easier to track. Register your bicycle by serial number in the National Bicycle Registry.
