INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you haven't installed your lawn yet, read our detailed guide, or follow this basic checklist to get started: Remove old grass and weeds using a grape hoe or sod cutter. If necessary, apply glyphosate or another broadleaf herbicide to remove these weeds. Follow label instructions and wait the required time after applying before breaking and prepping the soil. Grade your soil to a 1 or 2% slope running away from buildings. Perform a soil test or send soil samples to a local university extension or a garden center that offers soil testing services. Improve soil if necessary based on soil test results, then gently rake in starter fertilizer. Water the soil and let settle for one week. Fill a garden roller full of water and roll lightly over the soil. . Take your time selecting a grass species. Lawn care will be much easier if the grass is suited to your climate, soil type, and use patterns. Research the specific species, not just "cool season" or "warm season" grass. You'll also choose between seed and sod (turf). Seed is cheaper and easier to install, but can take months to become usable. Pick sod if you want a lawn sooner, and are willing to spend the time and effort. Sod should be moist, with no dry or cracked areas. . Break up the lawn into sections to make this task more manageable. Follow these instructions: To plant seeds: Using a lawn spreader, sow half the seeds walking in parallel rows. Sow the other half in rows at right angles to the first rows. Lightly rake inch (3 mm) of soil over the seeds. To install sod: Remove a few inches of soil, so the new sod will end up level with the surrounding area. Lay the sod end to end in staggered rows, as though laying bricks. Trim edges to fit with a utility knife. Follow these guidelines to keep a new lawn healthy: Seeds: Water right after sowing, lightly to avoid washing away the seeds. Repeat every other day or as often as needed to keep the soil moist, as seeds may die when dried out. This danger has passed once the seed has germinated and grass blades appear, usually about 1014 days after planting. Sod: Water well after installing, then use a full lawn roller to compact the sod against the soil base. From then on, water in the early morning 10 days. Water heavily enough to wet the soil underneath the sod, but avoid overwatering that can lift the sod rolls up from the soil. Avoid walking on new sod for the first week after installation, and go easy on it for the first month. Seed takes longer to become established. Stay off it until blades appear, then use as lightly as possible for six months. Once a seed-grown lawn reaches a height of 23 inch (57.5cm), roll it with an empty garden roller. Do not mow a seed-grown lawn until it is 3 or 4 inches (7.510cm) tall, then mow no more than inch (1.25 cm) every few days until the lawn is healthy and well-established.

SUMMARY: Prepare the area for planting. Choose your grass Install the new lawn Water the new lawn. Stay off the new lawn.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Congested ears often result from sinus congestion, as your eustachian tubes run from the back of your nose to your middle ear. Since nasal decongestants relieve sinus congestion, they can also help unclog your ears. You can find nasal decongestants over-the-counter. For some brands, you may need to ask for them at the pharmacy counter, but you don't need a prescription. Stop taking the decongestants after 3 days, unless a doctor advises you to continue them. It's best to talk to your doctor before taking decongestants, especially if you take other medications or have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or prostate problems. Similarly, you shouldn't give decongestants to children. Nasal steroids can relieve the swelling inside your nasal passages, which causes congestion. This relieves both your nasal and ear congestion. Don't use steroids without talking to a doctor. You can find these products over-the-counter or by prescription. These are especially helpful for people who have allergies. Untreated allergies can cause ear congestion because they irritate your sinuses, resulting in nasal congestion. A daily antihistamine can help prevent this. There are several options available over-the-counter, including cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), and fexofenadine hydrochloride (Allegra). Talk to your doctor before taking an antihistamine or if an OTC antihistamine isn't working for you. When flying, you can take an antihistamine 1 hour before your flight to help prevent having pressure build up. Read all instructions and precautions enclosed with the medication before taking it.

Your doctor can insert tubes to drain away fluids and relieve the pressure inside the ear. This is most often done when the patient experiences frequent incidences of ear congestion. This is most often done for children who have frequent ear infections. It reduces the incidence of infection and helps the child recover more comfortably.
