Bring outdoor coleus plants inside whenever there is a risk of frost, as a single light frost is often enough to kill the plant. Some coleus plants may even suffer if night temperature are regularly below 60F (16C). While indoors, keep the plant away from drafts, and stop fertilizing the plant. During winter, gradually increase the amount of shade the coleus receives, until it is in full shade. Sudden changes can cause leaf drop. When you bring the plants inside, they will drop a few leaves. This is because they are adapting to the new conditions. For the first few weeks, carefully monitor their moisture, temperature, and sunlight exposure. Mealy bugs are one of the most common pests found on coleus. These appear as tufts of white fuzz on the stem and leaves, and can be wiped off with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. . Whitefly infestations show up as clouds of small white insects, and/or many white eggs on the undersides of leaves. For outdoor plants, purchase ladybugs or Encarsia species to kill the whiteflies. for indoor plants, hang up whitefly traps or make your own. Most other insects, such as aphids, can be sprayed off with water or wiped off with a cloth. Some pests require more specialized methods of control: Tiny red "spider mites" can be driven away by increasing the humidity. Place pans of water nearby and mist the affected area lightly. Tiny black dots hovering near the soil are "fungus gnats," which can be dealt with by adding in (6 mm) fine gravel on top of the soil, or by reducing watering and increasing air flow. Get rid of slugs by using a barrier of beer or diatomaceous earth, or purchasing a specialized slug control product. Fuzz, black or ringed spots, or other disfigurements are usually the result of fungal disease. Cut off affected leaves immediately, then sterilize the scissors or shears with boiling water or rubbing alcohol to avoid spreading the disease to other plants. Anti-fungal sprays are available at garden supply stores if the disease continues to spread.

Summary: Keep coleus indoor in cool weather. Kill mealy bugs. Control whitefly infestations Deal with other pests. Prune or treat diseased leaves.

Each post should be 3 feet (0.91m) away from each otherstart by marking the first post location with chalk at one end of the wall. Now, move in 3 foot (0.91m) increments along the line until you reach the end. Use a taut string and stakes or a snapped chalk line to help you create a straight line. If you need to extend your wall with another post to create the final 3 feet (0.91m) then do so. Space your posts 16 to 18 inches (41 to 46cm) apart for load-bearing walls, which are walls that support something aside from their own weight such as a roof. Start by using a D-handle shovel to loosen the dirt along each side of the trench. Once it's loose enough, dig out the middle with a trench shovel. Continue loosening and digging into the soil with each of your shovels. Call your local utility services number at least 3 to 4 days before digging to ensure it's legal and won't damage underground structures, such as power, sewer, water, or gas lines. Consider renting heavy equipment to dig your trench. Saw through large roots with a reciprocating saw or using the tip of your trench shovel. Use a steel bar to loosen rocks. for your posts. Thrust your shovel into the soil and jiggle it forward and backward and side to side. Once the soil is loosened, start digging down into the ground. Grip the middle of the shovel's handle with your non-dominant hand and the top of the handle with your dominant hand. Use a steel bar to knock rocks loose. Remove large sections of loose soil with a clamshell digger. Saw through large roots by thrusting your shovel down into them or using a reciprocating saw.

Summary: Mark your post hole locations on the ground with chalk. Dig a 12 inch (30cm) deep trench between your post locations. Dig 18 inch (46cm) deep holes

Locate the plastic retainer clip at the bottom of the center shaft. Firmly grasp the clip between your fingers, open it, and pull it out. Under the clip should be a cut-out portion of the shaft with a thumbscrew adjustment wheel. The cabinet will need to be completely empty when you make this adjustment. Do not attempt to complete the process when the shelves are loaded, especially if they are heavily loaded. Use your fingers to turn the thumbscrew adjustment wheel in the cut-out portion of the center shaft. Rotate the wheel clockwise to raise the door and counterclockwise to lower the door. Generally you can expect that for each full rotation of the screw the height will be adjusted by about 1/32 in (0.8 mm). You may need to apply gentle pressure to the underside of the bottom shelf to aid the adjustment if you are attempting to raise the door. After adjusting the door to the proper height, return the retainer clip to its original position at the bottom of the pole. The clip should fasten back into place firmly. It's a good idea to tighten all of the adjustment screws attached to the center shaft, shelves, and door after setting the height. Doing this could prevent the door from falling out of alignment again. Using an erasable pencil, lightly outline the current position of the top and bottom brackets. If lighting is too poor inside the cabinet to make these marks easily, use a flashlight or electric lantern. Doing this will give you a reference point to work from as you make the adjustment. Pencil marks can be erased once you complete the process. Use a screwdriver to remove the setscrews and loosen the star washers holding the pivot housing in place on both sides of the pivot pole. Adjust the pivot housing and pivot pole until both are centered and aligned. When the star washers are in place but before fastening the setscrews, take a step back and look over your Lazy Susan. If the side clearance is still uneven, remove the washers and readjust the pivot. Use your outline to guide your adjustments. For example, if the left side is low, you'll likely need to move the pivot pole and housing to the right. Once you tighten the star washers, you'll be ready to return the setscrews to their original position. When the screws are in place, check the side clearance of the Lazy Susan again to make sure that it wasn't altered as you refastened its hardware. This adjustment may take care of your side clearance problem. If the lower half of your Susan appears to be misaligned, you'll have to adjust the pivot base in addition to its top. Open the door wide enough to expose the bottom bracket on either side of the Susan. Loosen this bracket by removing the fastening setscrew and star washer with a screwdriver. Now you can realign the pivot cam (metal arm) base so that it's centered. You'll have to repeat this process on the opposite side of the Lazy Susan where you'll find an identical bracket/pivot cam base. Work on brackets one at a time. After you've taken apart, realigned, and refastened the first bracket, move on to the next one. When properly centered, the pivot cam bases of both sides should be aligned with regard to the center pole. Be careful when refastening; if you jostle the pivot cam, it could be knocked out of alignment. Replace the star washers and reattach the setscrews for the bracket. When fastened, similarly adjust the opposite side bottom bracket/pivot cam base. Verify that the position did not become altered while you were returning these pieces to their original positions by stepping back and evaluating the evenness of the side clearance. Sometimes these alignments (especially those made to pivots) can require several attempts before they are resolved. Double check door alignment after completing the top and bottom adjustments, especially. If the side clearance is still unequal, you will need to readjust the top pivot pole and/or bottom pivot cams.
Summary: Remove the retainer clip to improve top and bottom clearance. Turn the adjustment wheel. Replace the retainer clip to complete the top and bottom adjustment. Outline the top and bottom brackets when side clearance is insufficient. Realign the pivot pole from the top. Refasten the pivot housing. Realign the pivot base when necessary. Refasten the bracket. Check the door to complete your side clearance adjustment.
