Q: Food coloring is optional, but it may make the slime more fun! This will allow the mixture to reach the desired consistency. This slime keeps very well in an airtight container. Make sure you store it away from direct sunlight and heat.
A: Add a few drops of food coloring (if desired). Let the mixture stand for up to an hour. Keep the slime in an airtight container.

Q: Go around the area you want to dry and pick up or relocate any rocks, brush, or other ground cover you find sitting on top of the dirt. Clearing away these materials will improve the site's exposure to air and sunlight, both of which have a natural drying effect on wet soil. It's especially important to do away with absorbent plant matter. Things like dead leaves, old mulch, and decaying plant stalks have a tendency to hold water, which will just keep your soil soggy. If you don't clear your work site first, there's also a risk that you could inadvertently work the debris down into the soil as you turn it, making the problem worse. You can enhance air circulation and access to sunlight even further by cutting back sources of deep shade, such as overgrown shrubs and high branches with thick foliage. Aeration will only help dry out your dirt if it isn't totally saturated. If there's visible puddling or pooling on the surface, you'll either need to give the excess moisture time to disappear on its own or resort to a different, more immediate method, such as adding organic drying amendments or lime. You'll know your soil is ready to aerate once it's firm to the touch. It can still be wet, but it shouldn't be so soft that it loses its shape easily. As mentioned, proper exposure to sunlight and air is key to drying out soggy soil quickly. For this reason, it's best to plan your project for a clear, dry stretch where no further precipitation is expected. A basic step aerator will work best for small yards and isolated patches of dirt. Long-pronged gardening forks, spike rakes, and strap-on aeration shoes are another useful option. Each of these tools is inexpensive, intuitive, and easy to clean and maintain. If you need to cover more ground, it may be worth it to invest in a manual or motorized rotary aeration machine. Start at one end of the site and work your way across to the opposite end. Then, turn and go back in the opposite direction, using the prongs of your tool to churn up a fresh patch of untouched soil. Continue in this way until you've turned the entire area you want to dry. As you work, the prongs of your aerator will open up lots of little holes in the dirt, allowing more air and sunlight to get in. To use a step aerator, place the prongs against the ground at a 90-degree angle and place your full weight on the head of the tool with one foot to plunge it into the dirt. When using a rake or fork, thrust the prongs into the ground like a spear, then rock the long handle back and forth to loosen the soil. If you've opted for a pair of aeration shoes, simply strap them to your feet and walk back and forth across your work site. With this method, you'll get a little exercise as an added bonus! Operating an aerator machine is usually as easy as pushing it across your work surface like a lawn mower, but be sure to consult the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that you're using the tool safely and effectively. As soon as you're finished, collect any lingering debris that your aerator uncovered. Afterwards, make an effort to keep rocks, fallen branches, deteriorating plant matter and other materials picked up while the elements do their thing. As long as the weather stays dry, your soil should be workable within about a week's time. Removing large clumps of loosened dirt can give the soil more room to expand, which in turn will improve its ability to drain more completely.
A: Remove large pieces of debris from the surface of the soil. Allow standing water to dry naturally. Choose an aeration tool that's appropriate for the size of your work site. Break up the surface of the soil with your aeration tool. Keep the aerated soil clear for the next few days.
