In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you attempt to fertilize a fruit tree, make sure the tree actually needs fertilizer. Fertilizing unnecessarily can cause poor plant growth, so have a soil test performed to see if your trees need fertilizing.  To do a soil test, you would take a small sample of soil from the base of your tree. From there, you can take your soil to the state's agricultural department and get a test done from somewhere between $0 to $30. The test will show you your soil's pH level, as well as the types of nutrients present in the soil. Ideally, your soil level should be between 6 to 6.5. Soils out of this range need fertilizer. How long a tree has been growing makes a big difference in fertilizer. If a tree is about 1 to 2 years old when planted, you can probably withhold fertilizing for a few years. You can instead focus on weed control and providing adequate moisture.  However, track how much a tree grows each season. If a young tree is not growing fast enough, you may need to add fertilizer despite its age. In general, branch length of trees should grow about 10 to 12 inches per year – though you’ll need to check the target growth rate of your specific tree. If your branch length is growing less, you may need fertilizer. If branch length exceeds this, however, you may not need to add fertilizer to your tree for several years. If you've determined you need fertilizer, select the right type for your needs. In order to fertilize fruit trees safely, you want to get what is called a balanced fertilizer. This is a fertilizer made with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. This is known as the N-P-K ratio.  The fertilizer should list the N-P-K ratio somewhere on the label. It should say something like 10-10-10 or 12-12-12. This indicates it is balanced and will be safe for use on fruit trees. You can also consider an organic option, like blood meal, cottonseed meal, composted chicken manure, or feather meal. To figure out how much fertilizer you'll need, you need to consider the tree's age or the diameter of the trunk. In general, you need one pound of fertilizer per year or one pound of fertilizer per inch of the trunk's diameter.
Summary: Perform a soil test. Consider the age of the trees. Select a type of fertilizer.

Mason jars are always a popular choice for DIY glass dyeing. This method also works well on flat glass surfaces, like serving trays. Keep in mind that glass dyed with food coloring is not waterproof, so don’t use glass that you’re planning to drink from or keep flowers in. Wash the glass object by hand or run it through a dishwasher cycle to make sure it’s clean. If you’re dyeing a vase, check its packaging to make sure it’s dishwasher safe. Also make sure that it's oven-safe, since you'll be setting the glass's color in the oven. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes, or until paint stops dripping down to the bottom of the glass. Excess dye will accumulate at the mouth of a jar. When you lift the glass up after the 30 minutes have passed, wipe excess paint off of the jar’s lip with a clean cloth. If you are not dyeing a jar or glass but are working with a flat glass surface, simply lay it face up. You shouldn’t need to worry about paint dripping off. Set your oven to 200 °F (93 °C) and slide a cookie tray onto 1 of the middle shelves. Set the dyed glass on the cookie tray with their openings facing downward. Shut the door and let the glasses dry for 10 minutes. After the time has passed, turn the glasses right side-up and let them dry in the oven for another 20–30 minutes.  Use a hot pad when handling the glasses so you don’t burn your hand. When you remove the glasses from the oven, set them on a coaster or stone section of your countertop so they don’t damage the counter. Since the dyed glass will not be waterproof, you won’t be able to wash the dyed glass at any point in the future. For this reason, it’s best to use the Mod Podge method on glass materials that are purely decorative.

One-sentence summary -- Select a clear glass and clean it thoroughly. Place your jar upside down on a piece of wax paper. Bake the glasses in the oven for 30 minutes to dry them.

Problem: Article: One of the most basic tips to get greater distance is to anchor (firmly press into the ground) your foot and your body behind the ball. The foot you must anchor is the foot that is behind the ball. For right handed players it will be the right foot, and the left foot for left handed players. If you lift your foot too soon when swinging the club you will lose power and distance in the shot. If you can’t touch your elbow to your hip, at least keep your arm close to your hip. By keeping the right arm close to the hip, you ensure the body will drive your arms and club through the ball impact. This will decrease the chances of your hands negatively influencing the shot. Keep your left arm close to your hip if you’re left-handed. Relax and keep your grip light. At the top of your backswing, make a slight pause and maintain a light grip through the swing. To keep a light grip, relax the muscles in your forearms and also your fingers. If you do this, you will create a faster, brisker swing release through the ball impact. This will result in a longer drive. Take deep, even breaths to help relax. By energetically rotating you hips on the downswing you will bring your core muscles into play. This will increase club head speed, and therefore will result in a longer drive. Make sure you do this in a controlled manner. Keep your foot anchored to prevent slicing the ball. Slicing the ball is when the golf ball curves dramatically from the left to the ball after a shot. Do this to achieve a longer drive. A common failure amongst golfers is bringing the driver too far back during the backswing. This causes a loss in control of the club. A powerful, more controlled swing can achieved by controlling your wrists and rotating your body into the shot, thus resulting in a more distance. Your hands should be level with your shoulders when you bring the club back.
Summary:
Anchor your foot. Touch your elbow to your hip. Relax your muscles. Rotate your hips vigorously. Use a short controlled backswing.
