Q: Use the pipe cutter, hacksaw, or scissors to cut the tubing to your desired length. It will take a bit of effort to cut through, so take your time and be careful. Boil a large pot of water and insert one end of the tubing into the water for 30 seconds. The end of the tubing should be soft and pliable prior to fastening to the other end of the tubing. If that's not handy, you can use a blow dryer; however, this may take longer and involves the dryer being held up the entire time. Usually, just having a pot of boiling water available is easiest. After heating, work quickly while the tubing is still warm and pliable. Push down hard on the connector to ensure a solid joint. The two should fit snugly, with the connector going nowhere. Be careful not to push the connector too far down into the tubing. The other end of the tubing will need to fasten to it. It should stick out about halfway. If this is for a child or for exercise purposes, having something inside the tubing can make hula hooping even more enjoyable (or more of a workout). Here are some ideas: Small beans (about 20-30) Corn kernels Water (a cup or so) Sand Rice If you have objects inside the tubing, manage it carefully so it doesn't come spilling out the other end. This part should only take a few minutes. Just like you did in the steps above, seal the tubing into a hoop shape by connecting the last two exposed ends. Again, work quickly. The tubing is more pliable the warmer it is. As it cools, it will contract and form a strong seal, keeping the hoop together. Add some personal flare, such as glittered tape, paint or any other enhancements you'd like. It can be drawn on with permanent or special craft markers, too. You can easily make candy-cane like, traditional hula hoop stripes with colored electrical tape. It's smoother than duct tape and blends into the texture of the tubing better.
A: Cut the irrigation tubing. Soften one end of the tubing. Place the coupling into the softened end of the tubing. If you'd like, place "weights" or sound makers into the hula hoop. Dip the other end of the tubing into the boiling water. When ready, couple the newly softened end onto the end with the PVC connector. Decorate the hula hoop.

Q: This makes it easier to work the soap into the leather and gives you more control over the washing process. Put both of your gloves on, or just one if you're only washing a specific one. Turn on a faucet to lukewarm water. With the gloves on your hands, run your hands under the water for just a few seconds. You should get the entire surface of your glove wet, but don't hold your glove under the water for an extended period of time. A bar of soap works well for this as you can rub the bar all over your gloves. Once your gloves are sudsy, use your gloved hands to gently rub the soap into the leather. Be careful not to rub too vigorously so you don't damage the gloves. Soaps with lots of natural fat, like Marseille soap, are perfect for cleaning leather gloves. Turn on clean running water again and place your hands under the stream. Use one gloved hand to help remove the soap from the other hand, and vice versa. Try to make sure all of the soap has been removed before turning off the water. You can remove your gloves from your hands to help you get the soap out of the leather, if desired.
A: Put the gloves on your hands to wash them. Hold your hands under clean running water for roughly 3 seconds. Rub the gloves gently using a mild soap. Rinse the gloves under clean running water to remove the soap.

Q: Prepare the turnips in the same manner you would the potatoes. The result will be a subtle, surprising flavor. These slices can then be eaten alone with a dash of salt, or you can use them on hamburgers or other dishes in place of raw onions. Use a cheese grater to grate them. Place them on top of your favorite salad. They'll add a crunchy texture and a bright flavor. Place then into your favorite soups just before you cook them, just as you would with celery or onion pieces.They will simmer in the broth and add a rich flavor. Cut the turnips into thick slices, and blanch them in a steamer for 3 to 5 minutes. Place them atop a cookie sheet, and put them in an oven at 130F/54C for approximately 8 to 10 hours. Once they feel dry or brittle to your touch, remove them and let cool. Serve them dried as a snack, or add them to soup such as you would crackers.
A: Substitute half of the potatoes in your usual favorite potato recipe with turnips. Slice the turnips and serve them raw. Grate the raw turnips. Mince the turnips and add them to soups. Blanch the turnips. Finished.

Q: If you have a lot of land options, you can select the vegetables you want to grow and find the perfect spot. If you are limited with land, then the spot will determine what will grow there. Ideally, you should opt for a location that is sunny for at least six hours a day. Evaluate your options and select your crops accordingly. Your location in the world also determines the type of plants and/or vegetables you will grow. Look for plants that are ideal for your climate. Once you have chosen a spot, make sure it can be used. It would not be fun to have your freshly planted garden dug up by your county. Look to see if there are any buried utility lines underneath the area. There should be a phone number available to check for the location of utility lines in your area. If not, call your local government to ask for the location of the utility lines. You should also ask about irrigation lines. Once you have made sure the area can be used, mark off the exact location of the bed. Spend some time planning the exact dimensions of your garden bed. Consider how much you will be planting, and how much space the plants will need. Then, go to your local hardware store and purchase paint that is made specifically for painting lines on the ground. Use the paint to mark of the location of the garden bed. You can also use cans of spray chalk, but paint usually holds up better with moisture.
A:
Select a sunny area. Check for buried utility lines. Mark off the area.
