A roaming dog will take one sniff of your lawn and turn away, but you should keep reapplying the vinegar on a daily basis. Also try to apply vinegar where the dog has urinated. Vinegar can also work as a natural herbicide to kill various weeds. For this reason, though, you should avoid spraying it over your entire lawn, since it has the potential to damage vegetation. Vinegar neutralizes the smell of dog urine, which should both make your nose happy and halt the territorial behavior that draws dogs to one another's urine. Many dogs have a strong reaction to the smell of organic material. Try a new fertilizer if dogs seem to be drawn to yours. Dogs are especially drawn to blood, fish, and bone meal. Try a plant-based fertilizer. Dogs are generally bothered by the smell of lavender, even though it is rather pleasant plant for humans. Similarly, prickly or thorny plants can be planted around the perimeter of your lawn to install a natural barrier against dog invaders. There are a number of popular home solutions, especially cayenne pepper, which have actually been known to harm dogs. Similarly, refrain from using coffee grounds, mouth balls, garlic power, Tobacco, ammonia, and detergents to drive off dogs.

Article: If you are comfortable and secure in your basic payments and necessities, but find it difficult to budget or save money to pay off your debts with the "debt avalanche" method, the "debt snowball" method may be right for you. This method focuses on you paying off your smallest debts first to simply reduce the number of different debts you owe. It should be noted that this is not the fastest or most efficient way to reduce your debt load. Organize your paperwork and determine how much you owe on each debt. Create a schedule of which debts you will pay off first by placing the debt with the smallest amount owed first and going up in amount owed from there. Be sure to note minimum payments for each debt and pay those each month before directing any money towards paying off your first debt. You don't want to incur more debt by not paying these minimums. Use any additional money you have each month to begin paying off the first debt. You may consider creating a budget for yourself to save money or perhaps taking on a part-time job. However you come up with the money, save as much as you can and put it all towards that first debt. When you've paid it off, celebrate! You've earned it. After you've paid off the first debt, move on to the next debt on your list. This one will take longer to pay off than the first, but keep yourself motivated to continue paying off debts by remembering the load that paying the first debt took off your shoulders. Your number of debts, and total debt overall, will decrease faster and faster as you continue to pay them off. Eventually, you will be completely debt-free!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Determine if this method is right for you. Organize your debts by amount owed. Pay off the first debt. Move on to the second debt. Continue paying off debts until you are debt-free.
Article: Wash your ginger root with cool water and peel the skin with a potato peeler. Cut the ginger root into 14 inch (0.64cm) thin slices, then add some salt on top. Eat the ginger plain or add it to a salad for an extra kick. Eating plain ginger is the fastest way to get it into your stomach if you aren't feeling well. Although ginger ale is sometimes marketed to help with stomach aches, the added sugar can be too harsh on your body and make you feel worse. Plus, ginger ale doesn't usually have a lot of fresh ginger in it. Try taking a 250 mg dose when your stomach first starts feeling upset. Wait about 30 minutes for the capsule to dissolve in your stomach before you start feeling the effects. You can take up to 4 capsules per day at a 250 mg dose. Ginger capsules contain powdered ginger. They may make you feel bloated, give you heartburn, or make you feel more nauseous. Look for crystalized ginger candies or hard candies flavored with real ginger at a grocery store. Hold one of these candies in your mouth and let it dissolve when you first start feeling nauseated.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Eat some fresh ginger for an easy option. Take ginger capsules when you feel nauseated. Suck on ginger candy for an incremental dose.
