This works best in small areas covered with or affected by the plant. Areas with widespread creeping charlie will take a long time to manually remove, so you might consider sunlight deprivation or chemical treatment in these cases. It is recommended you wear gloves for protection if you plan to pull the plant out by hand. Gloves can prevent blisters, friction burns, and callouses from forming during manual removal. Creeping charlie is a common skin allergen that can cause itching or a rash from contact. Wearing gloves will prevent you from having an unexpected allergic response while weeding. For plants that are especially thick, you should cut off the leaves and vines to make the roots more accessible. You can do this most easily with a few snips from a pair of pruning shears. Once the protective upper foliage is removed, you'll be able to target the roots in the ground. Keep bits and pieces of creeping charlie collected together off to the side or put it in a bag for disposal later. Lost bits and pieces can reseed your plot with the plant. You may want to avoid doing this on windy days. The wind might blow a stray leaf or vine somewhere else you don't want the plant growing. It is not recommended you use a hoe to break up the soil or cut through the top layer of the plant. This can spread creeping charlie even further. In loose, loamy soil, you may find that the roots pull free with relatively little effort. However, in some cases, the roots may be very stubborn. Grasp the root by its topmost part and apply firm, steady pressure until the roots pull free. You may need to use a rooting tool, which is shaped like a long, flat-tipped screwdriver, to assist in removing difficult plants or those with deep-sunk roots. You should investigate the soil following the hand removal of roots. If you leave behind root pieces, the creeping charlie may return. The leaves and vines you have cut from the plants could serve to further seed creeping charlie, so be careful when disposing this plant. Avoid places like open compost piles where the wind might carry seeds or leaves back to your plot. Using a thin tined rake can help you sift through dirt to find remaining creeping charlie plant debris. Even small pieces can contribute to regrowth. Throwing the creeping charlie away in the garbage should be sufficient, but you could also dispose of trimmings by burning them. Be sure you have a fire permit before burning, if your region requires one. After you've weeded out the creeping, you can help prevent regrowth by adding mulch, like wood chips, over the area the plant was growing. Use a regular cover of 2 - 3 in (5 - 7.6 cm) of your mulch for the best effect. Getting the whole root system and removing every seed-carrying leaf can be a tall order. It's likely you'll miss a few and see the plant return. Every time you see the scalloped leaves of creeping charlie reappear, pull it out. Eventually it should stop coming back. You should see the creeping charlie diminish after each weeding, but it can take up to a year or longer before the plant is fully removed.

One-sentence summary -- Identify suitable areas for manual removal. Remove leaves and vine growth. Pull up the roots thoroughly. Dispose all clippings and roots. Add mulch to deter regrowth. Remove the creeping charlie as it regrows.

The needed bacteria grow best when temperatures are warm but not too warm. A couple of degrees either way is fine, but try to keep the water in this range. You can go as low as 77F (25C). You can do it in a coldwater tank, but it will take longer. Of course, you'll need a water pump system for your fish. More vigorous pumps will help the bacteria grow faster, so if you're in a hurry, pick a pump that moves the water around at a rate of 5 times the amount your tank holds in an hour. For instance, if your tank holds 20 gallons, it should be able to move 100 gallons (380L). The pH level also affects how quickly your tank will mature. Check the pH levels with a pH kit, which works similarly to the ammonia and nitrate kits. You dip a strip into water, and see what color it turns. Then you compare it to a chart. The pH levels should be between 7.5 and 8 for ideal conditions. If you need to make the tank more acidic, you can add peat. If you need to make it more alkaline, you can add mineral salts (such as calcium). It you need to create an acidic tank, use a chemical filter instead of developing bacteria. It takes a few weeks for the bacteria to properly develop in the tank. Be patient. Don't add the fish too soon, as you could end up with "new tank" syndrome. Just keep checking the chemical levels.

One-sentence summary -- Keep the temperature around 85F (29C). Circulate the water. Test the pH level. Add fish after 2 to 4 weeks when the tank is ready.

Some soreness after an injection is normal, but it also sometimes be a sign of infection or allergic reaction. Monitor the skin after injection for any signs of a serious reaction. Mild reactions are very common and come in the form of a lump or swelling around the site of the injection. This may last a few hours, but might also stay for up to a week. If you notice hives, rashes, or swelling that occurs anywhere outside the injection location, such as the head or shoulder blades, seek medical care. This is a sign of a severe reaction and requires medical care. Reactions to injections, especially vaccinations, are very common. For the most part, the benefits outweigh the risks involved. However, your dog may exhibit a number of mild symptoms that should go away within a week. Fatigue and a low grade fever are common reactions to an injection. Your dog might be lethargic and have a low appetite during the days following an injection. Your dog might also be sore in the area surrounding the injection. Be careful handling him after his shots, especially if you have any contact with his shoulder blades. Severe allergic reactions are rare, but can occasionally occur. If a severe allergic reaction does occur, it will usually be within 20 - 30 minutes of giving the injection and the most common sign is collapse. If your dog exhibits any of the following symptoms, seek immediate medical care: Vomiting Diarrhea Lameness Collapse Seizure

There are several companies that compile and sell vehicle history reports. A vehicle history report is a comprehensive history that includes data on a vehicle's manufacture, sales, and sometimes repair information. Try websites like: Carfax Autocheck After submitting your VIN, the third-party website may prompt you to pay a fee for a complete vehicle history report.

Once you get your report back, you'll need to take a good look at it so you can get a good idea of the car's history, options, and other information. When reading the report: Verify the report matches the VIN you submitted. Read about the car's production and the vehicle's repair and registration history in the report. Look to see if the vehicle has been repaired or if the report shows any evidence of aftermarket upgrades.
