Question: Q: Lay out a piece of rope around the garden bed where you plan to install the edging. Then, measure the rope with a tape measure to determine how much edging you'll need.  You can purchase edging from most gardening centers and home improvement stores. Plastic lawn edging is commonly sold in 20 ft (6.1 m) lengths.  The height of plastic lawn edging varies across brands. It typically ranges from 3–6 in (7.6–15.2 cm) high. Generally, 3 in (7.6 cm) edging is inexpensive and widely available, yet short enough for the grass rhizomes to easily grow into the garden bed, while 6 in (15 cm) is more expensive and difficult to find, yet will make garden bed maintenance easier in the long run. Remove any plastic coverings or packaging. Lay the plastic lawn edging flat on the ground. Use a shovel to dig a neat trench around the whole bed where the plastic edging will go. Dig to the depth of the leading you plan to use. Keep the soil that you have dug up close by, as you'll be using it again soon.  The width of the trench must be slightly larger than the width of the edging. Although it depends on the width of your particular edging, approximately 2 in (5.1 cm) is normally sufficient.  You can use a rototiller rather than a shovel if you prefer. Use pruning shears to remove any plant roots that are interrupting the 3–6 in (7.6–15.2 cm) deep trench. Leave any large, tree roots that are in the way, however, as it will be easier to cut the edging to accommodate these. Once you have cut away the small roots, remove them from around the trench so that you have a clear space to work. Push the edging firmly into the trench and against the garden bed. Make sure that the top, decorative edge is just at the surface level of the trench. Use scissors or a utility knife to cut a gap in the edging if there is a large root. Line it up with the root to check that you have the right spot. Avoid placing edging around garden beds where there are many large tree roots, as you don’t want to cut away at the edging too much. Slide the connector onto the end of each roll, so that the ends meet in the middle. Firmly push the connector down onto each end so that it feels sturdy and attached.  With an 8 in (20 cm) long connecter, 4 in (10 cm) from each end of edging will be used. The plastic lawn edging kit will come with connector pieces that you can use to connect 1 roll to another.
A: Measure the outline of the garden bed using rope. Unroll the plastic lawn edging the day before you want to use it. Dig a 3–6 in (7.6–15.2 cm) deep trench around the garden bed. Cut off any small roots that are in the way of the trench. Place the plastic edging into the trench. Cut a notch in the plastic edging if there is a large tree root. Use a connector if the trench is longer than 1 roll of plastic edging.

Q: MLMs should be quite straightforward. The salespeople are recruited to sell large quantities of merchandise to people outside the company. Pyramid schemes rely on exciting promises and buzzwords to cover up the fact that they don't have a legitimate business model. Their actual model would not entice nearly as many people to buy in.  Business models of MLMs should be easy to understand. For instance, they might have a successful line of hygienic products. Since products like shampoo are inexpensive to produce in mass amounts, there is often a considerable markup for the consumer. Use this method to walk yourself through how the business makes money. Business models for pyramid schemes are confusing. They often include fantastical promises about revolutionizing their industry or introducing a 'miracle product.' More importantly, they emphasize the process of recruitment and promotion over the actual product. Don't get lured into the job until you understand how the company makes its money. This is the biggest giveaway with pyramid schemes. They often don't even mention what product you'd be selling, but only talk about recruitment and making money off the downline. The products they do sell are often ridiculous and unsellable, picked for the allure of getting rich selling them rather than actually using them. MLMs have useful everyday products that have been sold door-to-door and on the internet for decades. Some examples of phony pyramid scheme products are 'miracle cures,' unfamiliar health products at seemingly high prices, or low-cost, high-yield investment opportunities. Often, pyramid schemes offer products with a low profit margin. The real money is to be made from recruiting new members. Since these details may not be apparent to someone outside the company, you will need to use these other criteria to make a decision. The product may not be a dead giveaway.  Let's say, for instance, there was a pyramid scheme that sold inexpensive DVDs. This seems like a legitimate product. But how much profit can you hope to make off each unit? It may be hard to tell. If there is high reward for recruiting members in addition, look for other signs of a pyramid scheme. Is the company sustainable? Stable businesses depend on a cycle of production, marketing, and sales. Money goes out and comes in. If money only seems to be coming from people inside rather than outside the business, it is not self-sustainable. If you get a briefcase of popular cosmetics, it may be a safe investment. If you merely get the opportunity to sign other people to work for you, it is probably a pyramid scheme. It has to be a viable business opportunity for everyone from the downline to the executives.
A:
Answer: Look at the business model. Do research into what products they sell. Find out how employees make their money. Look at the cash flow. Find out what your contribution gets you.
