article: UV lights treat the single-celled algae that causes green water. The UV light is installed in the water. Water passes through the light and the algae gets destroyed. The light needs to be replaced yearly and brought in during winter months. Your pond may have a filter, which is useful for growing bacteria that breaks down waste and food when you have lots of fish. If it is difficult for water to flow through the filter, follow the owner's manual to clean the filter. Only use pond water so that you preserve the helpful bacteria in the filter. Plants are a way to naturally keep the pond clean and clear of algae. Plants such as anacharis, hornwort, and parrot's feather live under the water and keep the water full of oxygen, which limits algae growth. Lilies and lotus plants also cover the surface of the water, blocking sunlight that aids excessive algae growth. You introduce plants by planting them at appropriate layers. For example, submerged plants such as anacharis rests fully below the surface with its roots in a basket. Marginal plants, including cattails, and lilies are rooted in water with aquatic potting soil. Floating plants such as water hyacinths rest on the water's surface. Aeration adds oxygen to the water by churning it. Plants, waterfalls, and fountains all help, but you can also add an aeration pump to keep the water mixed, preventing algae and odors. Install small pumps by attaching the water recirculating hose and placing the pump in the water away from dirt, such as on a block or rocks. Hide the open end of the hose away from the pump near some rocks. Plug the pump's power cord into an outlet, making sure it is away from water. You may wish to bury the cord underground in PVC pipe. Uneaten fish food leaves nutrients that cause algae buildup. Either use higher-quality food or rely on natural food such as the algae growing on the pond liner. Don't offer extra food when it isn't needed. Monitor the water for leftover food and offer less as needed. Feed fish high-protein fish food, such as Pond Care Summer Staple, two to four times a day when the water is warm. Feed them once every day or two days with a low protein food when the water goes below 60 degrees F (15.5 degrees C). In winter, the air filter keeps bacteria alive that would otherwise die in the cold. In the summer, algae prevention can be bolstered by adding a product such as Microbe Lift. Follow the directions on the label for the correct dosage. Beneficial bacteria breaks down chemicals harmful to fish, such as ammonia, and food and waste nutritious to algae. It will also help balance the microbiome in your pond.

Dine al fresco on your porch or patio to make meals more fun. Play an outdoor game like croquet or bocce to get moving. Splash around in an inflatable pool to cool off. Walk a local hiking trail if any are open."
article: Nothing says "vacation" like sleeping under the stars. If you have a tent and some yard space, set up a little camp on your own lawn. If the weather is nice, you could even skip the tent and sleep in a hammock. You could also build a campfire if you really want to feel like you're roughing it! Backyard camping can be especially fun if you have kids at home. Build a fire or crank up the grill and cook some classic campfire treats in your yard! If you have chocolates and graham crackers on hand, take your marshmallow roast to the next level with some tasty s'mores. If you have a campfire kettle, you could even make some old-fashioned hot cocoa over the fire. Sitting outside can transform any dining experience into a vacation-worthy event. If you have a porch or balcony, set up a dining area there and enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the fresh air. You could also spread out a picnic blanket on your lawn and enjoy a backyard picnic. If you live with your significant other, invite them to a romantic outdoor dinner date. Set a table outdoors with your fanciest dinnerware and a couple of candles, turn on some mood music, and serve a delicious home-cooked meal! You may not be able to play squash at the gym or even kick a ball around at your local park, but you can still have outdoor fun with some lawn space and a few supplies. If you have the gear, put together a game of croquet, bocce ball, or Giant Jenga in your yard. Even a simple game of catch or frisbee can be a fun way to pass the time and get some exercise. If you're feeling really ambitious, combine crafting with sports and make some DIY lawn games, like ring toss with bottles and wooden craft hoops. If you've got warm weather and no place to go, relax by climbing into a backyard pool. If you don't have a pool, you can order an inflatable one online and set it up in minutes. All you need is an electric air pump and a water hose! Toss in some inflatable beach balls or a Shoot ball hoop for extra fun. While some of the more crowded parks and trails have closed down due to the epidemic, you may still be able to find open trails and walking paths in your area. Head out for a nature walk if you're feeling cooped up and want to get out of the housejust make sure to stay at least 6 feet (1.8m) away from any other hikers! When you get home, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, just in case you came into contact with any contaminated surfaces during your trek. Since trailside services will be more limited due to the virus, make sure to bring any essentials you need, like food, water, and first aid supplies. You might not even be able to find an open outdoor restroom along the trail.

to keep it out of your face. Keep an elastic hairband on your wrist. Pull your hair back so you can hold it all in one hand. Take the hairband off your wrist, pull it over your hair, and twist. Pull the band back around your hair to make a bun. You might opt for the "man bun," which is higher on your head, or a low bun if you prefer. Use a shoelace instead of an elastic band to control the tightness of the bun. Put in bobby pins to secure the bun in place if you're wearing it looser. Squeeze pomade into your hand the size of a quarter and rub it in your hands. Use your fingers to lather it into your hair as you would shampoo. Make sure to work it from the ends of your hair all the way down to the scalp for maximum coverage. Thicker and coarser hair will require more pomade. Use a wide-toothed comb to work your hair into the style that you want. This helps pull hair away from your face for a more slicked back look. Run your fingers through your hair to further accentuate any curls. Use a dime-sized amount of pomade and rub it into the hair on the sides and on top of your face to give it extra hold. This ensures your hair will stay controlled throughout the day. Let the pomade air dry for the best hold and shine.
