Dip your hands and feet in it and soak them for 15 to 20 minutes. For a serious case of ashy feet soak them for 30 minutes.

Summary: Squeeze the the ends of lemon to extract the juice into the basin of warm soapy water. Use the pumice stone to scrub off the top layer of dead cells.

Unlike a larger instrument such as a clarinet, you can use one hand to hold your kazoo. The mouthpiece of the kazoo is the wider, flattened end. To make sounds with your kazoo, you'll need to hum, rather than blow because humming creates vibration. You should place your mouth on the kazoo as though it were a whistle. To make slightly different types of sounds, try humming different syllables like "do," "who," "brr," or "rrr." The kazoo has no frills so you create all of the pitches in a song with your mouth. Practice humming songs you like without the kazoo, first. Then, try humming them with your kazoo's mouthpiece against your mouth.

Summary: Hold the kazoo horizontally. Hum into the kazoo. Create pitch with your humming.

The smelly part of the skunk spray is from chemicals called thiols. These awful-smelling oils make the scent "stick" to the sprayed dog. Unfortunately, you cannot simply shampoo and rinse these oils away. Also, skip the tomato juice myth because that will not eliminate the oils either. There are special chemical solutions used to remove substances containing thiols. You can mix a mild form of this solution at home that is safe for your dog. The following formula will make enough to scrub a small- or medium-sized dog. Double or even triple the amounts for very large dogs. You should mix: 1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide 1/4 cup baking soda 1 teaspoon liquid hand soap The solution has the potential to irritate your skin, so you should wear gloves when you mix and use it. You also want to wear gloves to avoid transferring any of the skunk smell to yourself while handling the stinky dog. The solution may irritate your dog's skin as well, especially if the pet is prone to skin infections or other skin conditions. In these cases, consult your veterinarian before using the solution. In addition to keeping the smelly dog from spreading the smell inside, you want to use the solution outside because the peroxide can potentially stain wood, cloth furniture, and other household items. Gently scrub the dog with the solution, but be careful to avoid the eyes and inner ears. Allow the solution to sit for up to five minutes but no more than that. Rinse the dog very thoroughly since the peroxide can discolor fur. If the smell remains, you may have to repeat the process. Make sure you dry the dog well before allowing him back in the house. You should also keep an eye on him during this period and watch for other complications from being sprayed. If your dog gets wet at all within a week or so, you may faintly notice the skunk smell again. Try not to bathe your dog again for a week. The solution will lose its effectiveness from sitting, so you should make and use it immediately. Do not store the solution for future use if you make too much. There are also shampoos formulated for removing skunk spray from a dog's coat. However, they're more expensive than the ingredients for the homemade solution, and they likely will not work as well. Your veterinarian may suggest one of these shampoos instead of the solution if your dog is prone to skin conditions that make the homemade solution inadvisable.

Summary: Understand the chemistry. Mix a homemade solution to remove the oils. Wear gloves. Apply the solution outside. Scrub the dog with the solution. Dry your dog well. Do not store the solution. Use a skunk-removal spray or shampoo.

Pole beans should be planted so that there is one seed per hole, and each seed is at least 3 inches (7.6cm) away from the next. Bush beans should be planted so that there is one seed per hole, and each seed is at least 2 inches (5.1cm) away from the next. The hole should be 1-inch deep. Remember that bush beans need more space in between plants than pole bean as pole beans grow vertically. Carefully put one seed in each hole you've dug; it may be tempting to put multiple seeds at once, but this will cause the seedlings to compete for space and nutrients as they grow, and possibly result in the death of the plant. Cover up each seed with 12 inches (2.55.1cm) of your garden soil. Immediately after planting, give your seeds plenty of water to aid in their germination. After planting, you should continue to water the seeds once every 2-3 days, so that the soil is always moist. Avoid over watering though, as too much water (leaving puddles or pools on the topsoil) will cause the seeds to rot. Mulch is an incredibly helpful tool for new gardeners. Made from trees, leaves, or straw, mulch is a layer of shredded plant limbs you place over the topsoil in your garden. This blocks out weeds and traps in moisture, two good things for new plants. Spread a layer of mulch 1-inch thick over your garden soil after your seeds have grown several inches tall. Fertilizer adds nutrients to garden soil, helping increase the growth of your beans and the overall harvest. Fertilizers are made of a combination of three primary ingredients: nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Beans naturally produce a lot of nitrogen, meaning that you should look for a fertilizer that has low nitrogen content (such as a 5-20-20 mixture). Ask your local nursery worker with help on choosing a fertilizer for your beans, if you have questions. Do not add nitrogen fertilizer to the soil if you added a nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The bacteria will help the plants make their own.
Summary: Dig a hole. Place the seeds. Water your seeds regularly. Put down a layer of mulch after the seeds sprout. Fertilize your garden every four weeks.
