Q: Get a tough abrasive that can scrape the paint off the can. Steel wool or sandpaper may be able to do this for some aluminum cans. You can pick up these supplies at most department and hardware stores. If you want a quicker and easier way to sand, you can use a hand sander or mechanical sander to remove the paint from your can. Using a mechanical sander will save you some time and effort. Hand sanders typically cost anywhere from $60 to over $100. Always read the manual before using a piece of electronic equipment. Hold the can in one hand and use the sander to scrape away the paint from the outside of the can. This process will require more force if you're using a non-mechanical sander or piece of steel wool. Continue to sand until all of the paint is off. If you don't need your can to be intact, you can empty it out and cut it down the side, roll it out, and tape it to a piece of cardboard. This may make sanding it easier. A can that's full is much easier to handle because it won't get crushed as you sand it. You can use stronger sanding equipment, like a handheld sandblaster, to remove the paint from the surface of your can. Secure the can to the ground outside using duct tape and blast the can with your sandblaster. Once one side is shiny, rotate your can and continue sandblasting it. Use safety goggles and gloves when using a sandblaster. Some sandblasters with high pressure can break or destroy your cans if you sand them. Use a lower pressure sandblaster to avoid this. Use an empty can when using a sandblaster to remove the ink from the can.
A: Get an abrasive like steel wool or sandpaper. Purchase or rent an orbital hand sander or another mechanical sander. Hold the can and sand down the sides. Use a sandblaster if you have access to one.

Q: Hold the syringe (needle pointing up) carefully in one hand. Use the other hand to pull the grey needle cap upwards and away from the syringe. Once the needle cap is removed, you must be very careful not to drop the syringe or touch it to anything else to avoid contamination. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch your skin at the injection site. You should pinch the skin until it creates a firm surface for the injection. Try to get a good couple of inches of skin pulled up slightly away from your body for an effective subcutaneous injection. Insert the needle fully into your skin until the syringe barrel is just above the surface of the skin. Keep the skin pinched for the duration of the injection process. Don't release it until you have removed the needle completely. " Keep pushing through the "snap" until you reach the bottom to receive the full dosage. Release the plunger and the needle will automatically pull back up into the syringe safety guard. Used needles should never be discarded in regular household trash. You should throw it away in a container that is specifically intended for used needles and other sharp objects. You should never reuse or recycle used syringes. If you don't have a sharps disposal container, contact your healthcare provider to ask about safe disposal of used syringes.
A: Remove the needle cap whole holding the syringe upright. Pinch your injection site. Inject the syringe needle into your skin. Push the plunger down slowly until you feel a "snap. Dispose of the used syringe in a sharps disposal container.

Q: There are two ways to grow chives: from a preexisting plant/cutting, or from seeds. Most gardeners recommend growing your chives from a bulb or from a start from another chive plant, because growing chives from seeds takes two full years. If you choose to grow from a preexisting plant (available at nurseries), select a start that is bright green, full, and is at least 35 inches (7.612.7cm) in height. These are indicators of a healthy chive plant, and increase the likelihood of it flourishing in your garden. Growing from seeds involves starting seeds indoors a few months prior to planting them outdoors, and transplanting in the springtime. The seeds will grow into plants, but they cannot be harvested for 2 years. Chive plants grow in bulbs that are divided every 3-4 years, so you can plant a divided bulb from a friend or neighbor's chive plot, that will grow into an entirely new plant. Planting seeds, bulbs, and starts outdoors is the same process. Seeds are the only growing method that take a bit extra work prior to outdoor planting. Chives are sun-loving plants, and although they will still grow in shade, they will produce the biggest harvest when placed in full sun. Find a plot in your garden that has sunlight most of the day. If your garden is shaded, choose a patch that gets at least 4-6 hours of sunlight to satisfy the chives' sun needs. Chives planted in partial sun will grow slowly, so expect smaller or less frequent harvests. Although some plants can grow in dense, hard soils, chives need light, loamy, and sandy soils with good drainage. If you're working with soil that has a lot of clay or is very dense, mix in some sand to loosen it up. Additionally, add in a garden-quality compost mixture to mix nutrients into the soil. If possible, amend the soil 4-6 weeks prior to planting, so that the soil can have time to adjust to the changes. . Chives need soil with a pH between 6 and 7. Test the soil, and if it is too low, increase the pH by chopping agricultural lime into the soil using a garden trowel or small shovel. If it is too high, lower the pH by mixing in a fertilizer with urea phosphate or ammonium nitrate, or by adding compost, manure, or plant litter. Test the pH using cabbage for an easy DIY method. You can test soil pH by using a store-bought test probe for exact measurements. Chives are summer-blooming plants that should be planted in the early spring. If you are starting your chives as seeds, start them indoors 8-10 weeks prior to your outdoor planting date. Planting outdoors should occur 1-2 weeks after the last frost of the winter, typically around March or April (depending on your growing zone).

Choose a growing method. Select a garden plot in full sun. Prepare your garden soil. Balance the pH of the soil before planting Know when to plant.
