INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Gooseberry clippings from a nursery can be purchased year round, will likely come potted, and can be planted anytime between autumn and spring. Potted gooseberry plants will often be simpler to plant as they should already have small root systems established. Consult your local plant nursery for special gooseberry clippings, like strains that are disease resistant or strains that are known for larger yields. If you are getting your clippings from a wild bush, or your clippings are unpotted, be sure your clippings are from a 2-3 year old bush with 3-5 main branches and a head of at least 4-6 inches. You will need to keep your bare-root clippings cool and moist if not planted immediately, and they will need to be soaked in water for about 4 hours before planting. Wrap the root in a moist paper towel, place the root in a cup or glass, and set in the fridge until you are ready to plant. Consult your local nursery about whether or not you should plant already potted or wild clippings in your climate. Preparing your plot in advance of planting will include choosing a well ventilated site with adequate moisture and making sure your soil is loose to optimize growth. Take a shovel and loosen the soil to a depth equivalent to the height of the rootball, which is the mass of roots under the stem, and over a wide area to prevent compaction and improve drainage. If you have bare root clippings they will not have a root ball. Instead, loosen the soil around a depth of 3 inches. If your plot becomes waterlogged over the winter, simply loosen the soil again and plant your clippings on a slight mound, approximately 3-4 inches high. Creating a nutrient rich plot is key during preparation as you will not be adding fertilizer during the planting period. Combine your existing soil with organic matter, like compost and fertilizer, during your initial plot preparation. If your original soil is sandy you many need to apply generous amounts of compost and/or fertilizer. Consult your local plant nursery about your soil type and about acquiring organic matter for plot preparation.

SUMMARY: Get potted gooseberry clippings from a nursery. Get bare-root gooseberry clippings from an older gooseberry bush. Prepare your planting plot the autumn before you intend to plant. Use heavy, nutrient-rich, and well drained soil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cheilitis (chapped lips) is a common side effect of accutane treatment. In order to both prevent and treat chapped lips, apply a lip balm of your choice. Some have a pleasant scent like lavender or wild berry, while others are unscented. The most hygienic lip balms are those which come in a small retractable tube, as you don't have to touch your hand to your lips in order to apply the balm. However, the balms which require you to manually remove a glob of lip balm from the container and apply it to your lips have the advantage that you can scoop any amount you desire from the container. If lip balm is ineffective, use something stronger to protect your chapped lips. Vaseline or Aquaphor should be applied by dipping your pinky in the container and applying a light coating to your lips or around your mouth as needed. For extremely dry lips, use a 1% ointment. Apply the ointment two to three times each day in addition to using Vaseline, Aquaphor, or a lip balm. You could also use a low-potency corticosteroid ointment if you obtain a prescription from your dermatologist. Using corticosteroid treatments for more than a few days could lead to thinning of the skin on your lips or the enlargement of blood vessels in the area you applied the ointment. Always use ointments and prescription medications as directed. While it may provide temporary relief, the enzymes in saliva can irritate your skin. The more you lick your lips, the drier and more painful they will become over time. Keep your tongue in your mouth and apply lip balm instead as needed. Wear a rubber band on your wrist and give it a small snap when you catch yourself licking your lips. The slight irritation of the band against your wrist will minimize your likelihood of lip-licking again.

SUMMARY: Use lip balm. Use Vaseline or Aquaphor Healing Ointment. Use OTC hydrocortisone ointment. Do not lick your lips.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't bleach hair that is freshly washed. The bleaching process will dry your hair out significantly, potentially causing damage and breakage. Your hair's natural oils will prevent this. A freshly-washed scalp is also much more sensitive and will itch more during bleaching. Your bleach kit will have two main components: dry powdered bleach and a hydrogen peroxide solution. Mix the two according to the ratios or instructions on your dye kit, using a tint brush or plastic spoon. Follow the instructions on your kit if they are different from what is described here. Developers come in different strengths rated by numbered "volumes." If your hair is already fairly light, use volume 10. Volume 20 is for darker blondes, volume 30 for light browns, and volume 40 for darker browns and black. Higher volumes can be more damaging to your hair, but they can also lighten it faster. If you've never bleached your hair to platinum blonde before, you will need to know how long it takes your hair to lighten. Select a small amount of hair close to the roots at an inconspicuous place and section it off. Brush on some bleach using a tiny brush. Let the bleach set and check the strand every 5 to 10 minutes. If your hair is not light enough after an hour, you will need to do multiple rounds of bleaching. Rinse the bleach away between rounds and reapply it. To minimize damage, do not leave bleach in your hair for over an hour. Use a tint brush to apply your bleach mixture evenly to your hair. Work in sections, brushing in the direction your hair grows. Start from the very back of your head and work your way forward, leaving the sections of hair that frame your face for the end. If your hair is thick, flip up each section to expose the next layer of hair underneath and apply there, too. Leave about a one-inch section around your roots to do last, after the face-framing strands. The heat from your scalp will cause your roots to bleach a little faster than your normal hair. Try to go as quickly as possible to ensure an even color. Refer back to the results of your strand test to determine how long you should leave the bleach in your hair. Cover your hair up with either a shower cap or plastic wrap while you wait. Keep in mind that a little itchiness on your scalp is normal. Use warm water without shampoo. Be very careful to not get any bleach in your eyes as you rinse. If possible, ask someone to rinse your hair for you in a sink while you look up as if you were in a salon. If you aren't immediately moving on to the next step, allow your hair to air dry. Blow drying can further strip your hair of moisture, potentially exacerbating any damage the bleach has caused.

SUMMARY:
Wait a day or two after your last shampoo. Mix bleach powder with developer. Do a strand test. Apply the bleach. Let the bleach sit. Rinse out the bleach.
