You can remove the following growth at any time of year: Dead or fungus-infected branches Suckers: the shoots that come up near the roots of the tree. Water shoots growing from the top branches Dried fruit from the previous year's harvest This is the most important step in pruning, as it is responsible for the ultimate growth pattern and fruit production of the tree. You want to choose 4-6 primary branches to work with, and cut off all the rest. All the branches you cut should be growing up at a 45 degree angle. Any branches that grow vertically or horizontally need to be removed, as they are likely to break when the tree begins bearing fruit. Prune your tree in a V-shaped pattern. All branches should have the appearance of the letter "V." Cut off any branches that cross over each other, since these block sunlight. The best shape for a peach tree is an open vase, with a clear center to maximize sun. Remove any branches on which the new growth is growing upwards above your head. This will make it difficult to pick the fruit. You want to cut the tree at the same angle of growth, about an inch from the lateral bud. Avoid cutting the branch at too steep an angle or too close to the collar at the base, as this opens it up for infection. For branches exceeding 1 inch (2.5cm) in diameter, use three cuts to aid in pruning. Make the first cut about halfway up the branch from the underside. Then, make a cut from the top down about one inch further. The weight of the branch will help the branch to break easily. Then, make your cut near the collar of the branch.

Many areas with sand dunes offer a rental service where you can rent a sandboard for a small fee, usually around $15-$25 USD. Check if there is a rental area in spots near you with sand dunes or in areas you are planning to visit. Renting a sandboard may be a good option if you do not want to have to buy a sandboard right away. In a pinch, you can use a snowboard or surfboard you already own to try sandboarding. A snowboard with a square or twin tail is ideal. A smaller surfboard, sometimes called a boogie board, is good for sandboarding, as it will not be too long. Make sure the snowboard or surfboard is smooth on both sides so it will glide well on the sand. Sandboards are usually made of wood, metal, or plastic. They should be about 9 to 12 millimetres (0.35 to 0.47in) thick, 140 to 160 centimetres (55 to 63in) wide, and 100 to 120 centimetres (39 to 47in) long. Get a longer or shorter board based on your size and height. Look for a board with a square or twin tail so it glides nicely on the sand. Sandboards can be pricy, ranging from $150-$200 USD. Get a sandboard with bindings if you plan to board standing up. Bindings are straps that are attached to the board and are designed to hold your feet in place when you are on the board. If you prefer to glide down the dunes on your stomach, you do not need a board with bindings. Most surf shops, and some snowboard shops, will offer sandboards. Talk to a sale representative in the store to find the right board for you. You can go fairly fast on a sandboard, especially if you find a good dune that slopes downhill. Make sure you always wear a helmet and elbow pads to protect your head and arms. You can also wear knee pads if you are riding the sandboard standing up. You should also wear sunscreen with at least 15 SPF, sunglasses, preferably with anti-glare, and long sleeves to protect yourself from the sun when you are out on the dunes.

Epsom salt can also deter pests from eating your plants. Dissolve 1/2 cup of Epsom salt into 2 gallons (7.6L) of water. Then spray your plants with this mixture to ward off bugs.Another pest guard is sprinkling a circle of Epsom salt around the base of your plants. This won't keep flying bugs away, but could repel crawling bugs like slugs. If your lawn has dry, discolored patches, your soil may have a magnesium deficiency. Try raising its levels with Epsom salt. Load 3 pounds (1.4kg) of salts for every 1,250 square feet (116m2) of lawn into a spreader. Spread the salts over the lawn. Then water the grass with a sprinkler or hose. If you have less than 1,250 square feet (116m2) of lawn, then adjust the measurement. Test your soil with a home testing kit. With a small soil sample, these tests show you which nutrients your lawn is deficient in.

Choose at least one other player besides yourself to begin the game. Play with more players for a livelier game, as more players can provide more unique questions and debate each other's answers. If you have a very large group of people, you can even play with teams, with all the members of a team having to come to a consensus on their answers. Select the first player, who will choose a question that begins with "Would you rather?" and provides two scenarios for another player to choose from. Get creative with how you choose the first player if you want to. You can roll a die, go by the youngest player in the group, draw straws, or any other method. The "Would you rather" question can pair any two funny, serious, wacky, or thought-provoking scenarios together, such as "Would your rather have hands for feet or feet for hands?" The first player asks his or her "Would you rather" question to another player of their choice, who then must answer the question. Pick one of the two scenarios you would "rather" do or have from the question asked by the current player. There are a number of different reasons you might have for answering one way or the other, but the choice is up to you! Players might choose an answer just because it is the slightly more tolerable option of two undesirable things, like "be hairy all over" or "be completely bald all over." Players might also choose something they would genuinely enjoy due to their preferences, or something that strikes a moral or humorous debate with the other players. No player that is asked a "Would you rather" question can answer "both" or "neither." You must choose one of the two options given. The person that the first player asks a question to becomes the next player, choosing a new person to ask a question to. Alternately, players may ask each question to the person beside them, or to the whole group. The latter may work best for smaller groups playing this game. Play continues until players are out of ideas for questions, someone cannot choose an answer to a question, or for however long you like.

Play with at least two players. Choose a player to go first. Choose one answer to any question you are asked. Continue asking and answering questions.
