Problem: Article: the area with desirable grass and cover plants. Suppress quackgrass by growing more vigorous plants around it. In a lawn, for instance, spread plenty of grass seeds to fill in gaps between the existing grass blades. You don't need to till the new seed into the soil. This doesn't get rid of the quackgrass right away, but the new growth may prevent it from spreading. To overseed a lawn, you need at least 2lb (0.91kg) of seed for every 1,000sqft (93m2) of soil. You may need more seeds for other types of grass, such as bluegrass or ryegrass. Overseeding is a way to limit quackgrass without destroying existing greenery. It's good for lawns and fields. If you don't wish to save the existing plants, clear the soil through solarization or by applying an herbicide. the grass at least 2 times a day until the new seeds grow. Never let the seeds dry out, or else the grass won't grow lush and full. Keep the first 14in (0.64cm) of soil moist for about 14 days. The seeds will germinate, and after this point, water the lawn deeply about 2 or 3 times a week to keep it healthy. A lawn needs about 1in (2.5cm) of water per week. You may need to water it more often during warm weather. To ensure the grass gets enough rain, build a rain gauge. Also, try sticking your finger in the ground to see how far down the soil dries out. Adjust your lawnmower to a 3in (7.6cm) setting. Cut back the grass, as well as the quackgrass, as often as necessary. Keep the entire lawn around this height as much as possible. The good grass will eventually outgrow the quackgrass. You may need to mow the grass twice a week in order to prevent the quackgrass from overgrowing. Cutting the grass too short may cause the quackgrass to spread. It may grow faster and taller than the regular grass. In addition, slicing its root system causes it to divide into new plants. Choose a granular or fast-release fertilizer, add it to a spreader, then walk the spreader over your entire lawn. The nitrogen causes good grass to grow dark and thick, which in turn inhibits quackgrass. You need about 14lb (0.11kg) of fertilizer for every 1,000sqft (93m2) of soil. Look at the numbers on the bags of fertilizer at the gardening center. The first number indicates the percentage of nitrogen in the mixture. An example of a fertilizer high in nitrogen is 18-6-12. During very dry weather, you do not need fertilizer unless you are able to provide enough water for the grass. The grass can't absorb nitrogen without enough water. As your lawn flourishes, watch the patches of quackgrass get smaller every year. The leaves will blend in at first, but eventually the desirable plants fill in most of the yard space. Continue fertilizing, watering, and mowing your lawn to prevent new weeds from forming. Some quackgrass may survive for a long time. It is a very difficult plant to stop, but regular maintenance is the only way to eliminate it without more drastic measures. To speed up the process, try spreading a glyphosate herbicide onto quackgrass leaves. The herbicide will kill any other plants it touches, so apply it sparingly with a paint brush to reduce the damage.
Summary: Overseed Water Mow the grass every week once it surpasses 3in (7.6cm) in height. Spread a nitrogen fertilizer every 2 weeks from spring until fall. Maintain the new growth every year until the quackgrass disappears.

Problem: Article: There are different styles of miniature resin ponds that you can create. Think of what kind of pond you'd like to create and consider the aesthetic of your lawn or garden. Examples of ponds that you can build include a miniature koi pond, a frozen winter themed pond, or even a science-fiction toxic sludge pond. Once you settle on an idea, you can create a pond that reflects what you want to create. Consider different pond themes depending on the season or holiday. For example, during the autumn you can create a Halloween inspired miniature pond with mini pumpkins, ghouls, and ghosts. During the winter you can create a festive holiday pond with snow. Once you have a theme in mind, it's time that you start designing the look of your pond. Use a pencil and paper to sketch out a rough design of your pond. Remember to add the features for the ground around the actual pond, as well as the pond itself. Once you settle on a design that you like, you can begin to build your project. Draw the overall shape of the pond before you start moving into finer details like rocks, plants, and other features that will surround the pond. Your pond can have ragged or smooth edges. If you want to keep it simple, draw an oval pond with no fine details. The size of styrofoam you should get depends on how large you want your miniature pond to be. After you've designed the pond on a separate piece of paper, it's time that you transfer the image to your styrofoam. Use a marker to copy the design that you've created directly onto the face of the styrofoam. Draw the outer edges of your project before moving towards the center and drawing finer details. A great miniature pond size is a 1x1 feet (30.48x30.48 cm). Special details that you may want to add include bridges, foliage, fish, trees, pipes, waterfalls, and branches.
Summary: Determine the style or theme for your resin pond. Sketch out the design of the pond. Draw your pond design on a 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick piece of styrofoam.

Problem: Article: Make sure the area is completely dry. Be gentle.
Summary: Find the problem area. Use the pink side of the cleaning bar. Rub the affected area back and forth. Use the brush to remove residue and get the leather back into its original form.

Problem: Article: A measuring tape is necessary in order to accurately measure your bust size. The flexibility of the measuring tape will allow you to measure the circumference of your bust. You can go to your local pharmacy, like Walgreens or CVS, or a fabric store to find a measuring tape. You can also try visiting a Target or a Walmart; both stores have sewing sections. Measure across the bottom of your band, directly under the bust and across your ribcage, by bringing the measuring tape around your back to the front. Make sure the measuring tape is level and close to your body. Round to the nearest whole number. If your measurement is an even number, add four inches. If it is odd, then add five inches. The band size is the sum of this calculation. For example, if you measured 32 inches (81.3cm), then your band size is 36. If you measured 29 inches (73.7cm), then your band size is 34. Wrap the measuring tape loosely around the fullest part of your chest, i.e., nipple level. Round to the nearest whole number. Subtract your band size (the first measurement) from your cup size (the second measurement). The difference determines your bra size, where each inch represents a cup size. For example, if your band measurement is 34 and your cup measurement is 36, the difference is 2. Therefore your cup size is a B cup. As a whole, your bra size would be 34B, where 34 refers to the size of your band. If you do not want to or do not have the time to calculate your own bra size, most lingerie stores can calculate it for you. Visit a lingerie store, like Victoria's Secret, at your nearest mall, outlet, or shopping center. They can professionally measure your bra size for you.
Summary:
Get a measuring tape. Measure your band size. Measure your cup size. Calculate your bust size. Visit a lingerie store.
