Problem: Article: If you live on a hillside or in a valley where water might collect, create channels around the edges of your property to redirect runoff water. Drainage channels work much like gutters do for your roof. Reducing runoff keeps surges of water from carrying off soil or killing plants due to overwatering. Dig a simple paved irrigation ditch by hand, or embed PVC or drainage pipe into the channel to install what is known as a "French Drain," which conducts water away with greater efficiency. Protect the soil in your garden by tilling it and shaping it to catch rainwater. Tilling is similar to aerating, except it's done before you plant in the soil. Tilling turns the soil to allow nutrients to spread through it evenly, while contouring (planting flowers and crops in long, linear depressions with mounds between each row) will ensure that water soaks into your crops instead of washing over the top and taking topsoil with it. Soil compaction can be avoided by tilling, as well. Tilling can be done using an automatic or push rototiller that makes use of a rotary wheel covered in small spikes that aerate the soil as they turn, or by hand, using a shovel or pitchfork to make shallow stabs into the soil and turn it over a few feet at a time. Terracing involves constructing a series of short step-like platforms on which to grow plants and is a useful method when planting on sloped ground. Rather than simply running down the slope, water will soak into the flat soil of each platform, hydrating plants and keep soil from being swept away. Create a landscaping terrace by leveling the embankment of a slope and reinforcing the vertical walls with wood beams or stone. Constructing a terrace is also a good way of organizing flowering plants and crops, as each level of the terrace can be used to grow something different. If precipitation tends to cause flooding in your area, a rain barrel or catch basin can be implemented to collect excess water. As the name suggests, rainwater is "caught" in the basin, which is installed underground with a grated drainage opening, or stored in the barrel and saved for later use. These methods make it possible to repurpose extra water instead of simply letting it erode vulnerable topsoil. A rain barrel most often works in conjunction with a gutter or irrigation system so that water flow is directed straight into the barrel. Catch basins are easy to install yourself. The only require measuring the unit and digging a hole of the right dimensions to accommodate it at the bottom of a slope.
Summary: Dig drainage channels to guide rainwater runoff. Till and contour your garden. Build a terrace. Install a rain barrel or catch basin.

Problem: Article: To play Solitaire, you will need a traditional 52-card pack of standard playing cards. Open your pack and discard the instruction and Joker cards. Before you start dealing, shuffle the cards a couple of times to make sure that the deck is all mixed up. Deal the first card and place it face up on your left-hand side. Then, deal six more cards face-down in a row to the right of this card so that each card has its own spot. When you are finished, you should have seven cards total. The first one on the left should be facing up and the other six should be facing down. The cards that you are dealing are called your "Tableau." These are the main cards that you will use to play solitaire. When you are finished dealing all of the cards, your Tableau will look similar to an upside down staircase. Next, you will need to deal six more cards onto the stacks. Place the first card face up on the second stack of cards from the left. Then, deal one card face down card onto each of the stacks moving to the right. Starting with the third stack over from the left, deal one card face up. Then, deal four more cards facing down on each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Starting with the fourth stack over from the left, deal one card face up onto this stack and then deal three cards facing down. Place one card onto each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Count over to the fifth card from the left in your row of seven card stacks. Deal one card facing up on this stack and then deal one card facing down onto each of the two stacks to the right. Next, count over to the sixth stack from the left and deal one card facing up onto this stack. Then, deal one card facing down onto the stack to the right of this stack. This stack should be the last one in your row of seven. There should only be one stack left that does not have a face up card on it. This stack should be all the way on the right of your Tableau. Deal one card onto this stack facing up. Now this stack should have six cards facing down and one on top that is facing up. After you have dealt this last card, your Tableau is complete! Dealing the Tableau is the hardest part of setting up solitaire, so the next part will be easy.
Summary: Shuffle the deck. Deal seven cards in a row. Skip the first card and then deal six cards. Count over to the third card and then deal five cards. Deal four cards starting with the fourth stack. Skip the first four cards and deal three. Count over to the sixth card and then deal two. Deal one last card face up.

Problem: Article: If the party is for adults, research cocktail recipes that would go with the theme of the party. For example, if you're using a beach theme for the party, mix a large amount of sangria in a drink dispenser and write "Surf's Up Sangria" on a small chalkboard or sign beside it. For a kid's party, you could pour strawberry lemonade into a drink dispenser and call it "Laguna Lemonade." This is a cheaper option than offering a wide selection of beverages. If your theme is the destination of the guest of honor, research the traditional foods of that location. For example, if your friend is moving to Canada, put out a platter of poutine and some little plates for people to pile up with fries and gravy. If they're moving to Japan, order or make different types of sushi. For a Germany-themed party, grill some bratwursts and let people snack on large soft pretzels. Chips are always a popular party snack, but some people may also want a healthy option, like veggies and dip. Pick a few different types of food, like pretzels, mixed fruit, and small bite-sized cookies to keep everyone happy. Just make sure you've included some of the guest of honor's favorite foods. Just like with the beverage, try to play into the theme. Serve macarons for a Paris-themed party, or chips and salsa for an "Adios Amigo" party. Unless you know the guest of honor doesn't like sweets, send them off with a cake or cupcakes. If you're not comfortable making it yourself, visit a local bakery or grocery store with a bakery section, and ask if they can write a custom message on top for you. Either choose a message that goes with the theme, or stick with something simple like, "We'll miss you, Kate!"
Summary: Create a signature beverage. Serve foods that fit the theme. Offer a variety of snacks. Serve a special cake.
