Article: Monitoring moon phases is not as accurate of a way to keep time as making a sundial or measuring by the North Star. Based on the current lunar phase, the moon will only be visible in the night sky for a certain amount of time and it will be easiest to see when it is full or almost full. For example, during a full moon, the moon will be visible in the sky all night (for approximately 12 hours). The moon will be harder to spot throughout the night when it is not full. Knowing when the sun set will give you a baseline time to start tracking the time with the moon since the moon rises about 1 hour after the sun sets. If you can, look up the time that the sun set before you observe the moon’s position and add 1 hour to this time to create a baseline time. For example, if the sun set at 6:30 pm, and the moon is just now visible on the horizon, then it is approximately 7:30 pm. You can use the moon to tell time by dividing the sky into quarters and noting the moon’s position in the sky. Find the middle of the sky, and then divide these 2 halves in half to divide the sky into quarters going from east to west. This won’t give you an accurate time, but you can get a good estimate. Look at the moon's position in the sky in relation to where it rose.  For example, if the moon is ¼ of the way across the sky from where it rose, then it is about 3 hours past sundown. If the moon is halfway across the sky, then it is approximately 6 hours past sundown. If the moon is ¾ of the way across the sky, then it is 9 hours past sundown. The location of the moon in the sky along with the time the sun set, will allow you to calculate an approximate time. Once you have noted these details, add the number of hours for the position of the moon to the time of sunset.  For example, if the sun set at 7:00 pm, and the moon in halfway across the sky, then the approximate time is 1:00 am. If the sun set at 6:15 pm, and the moon is ¾ of the way across the sky, then the approximate time is 3:15 am.

Use the moon to tell time only when it is at its brightest. Find out what time the sun set. Track the position of the moon to determine the approximate time. Use the moon’s position to calculate the approximate time.

Problem: Article: Use smaller boxes, cans, tins, and anything else you can find that your hamster can climb up and down on.  This will provide your hamster with multiple levels within his playpen to explore.  You can even get creative and attach these items together in such a way that you create a maze for your hamster to find his way through.  Make sure your playpen has at least one place where your hamster can hide while he’s in the playpen.  Having a place to hide will make your hamster feel safe if he gets nervous or scared. A great place to look for homemade items is your recycling bin.  Just make sure to thoroughly clean any items you decide to use.  And make sure to blunt sharp edges with tape or padding. The purpose of the playpen is so that your hamster has a larger area to run around and play.  While some hamsters may be happy with a big open space, adding additional items to the playpen will give your hamster some much-needed enrichment.  Place items such as the following inside the playpen for your hamster to play with:  Toilet paper or paper towel tubes.  You can attach multiple tubes together to create a long tunnel. Old shoes.  Your hamster will enjoy climbing in and out of the shoe and using it as a hiding place. Bridges, see-saws, and swings.  You can make your own, or buy hamster-specific versions at the pet store. Wooden, mineral, or salt blocks.  While your hamster may climb these blocks, the real purpose is to give your hamster something to chew on. Use boxes and toys from your hamster’s playpen to make a food puzzle.  Combine multiple items together in such a way that your hamster has to explore them to find a treat.  You can also build a maze with a food treat at the end. Make sure any food you give your hamster inside his playpen is deducted from his daily food allocation.  If you give your hamster extra food and treats while he’s in his playpen, your hamster may get a little pudgy. Even if your hamster has a wheel in his cage, placing a freestanding wheel inside his playpen will give him another view while he runs.  Make sure the wheel is made from a continuous piece of material and not wires or bars.  Wheels made from wires or bars can cause your hamster to get one or both of his feet stuck and could cause serious injury. Hamster balls are a great way for your hamster to explore the big world outside his cage without getting lost or stuck.  Hamster balls are usually large hard plastic balls with a hatch that can open and close so you can place your hamster inside.  Once the hatch is closed, the outside of the ball is smooth so it can roll in any direction.  If you don’t have an area within your home that’s safe for your hamster to explore in his hamster ball, consider making a large playpen and placing the hamster ball inside.  Using a combination of a playpen and a hamster ball will limit the area your hamster can explore, thus making it safer for your hamster and more convenient for you. Keep your hamster’s time in a hamster ball to 15 minutes or less.  Once he’s finished with his hamster ball, put him back in his cage for a rest.
Summary: Add multiple levels to the playpen. Include play stations for your hamster to explore. Create food puzzles for the playpen. Place a free-standing wheel inside the playpen. Put your hamster in a hamster ball.

Chickens are attracted to bare patches of ground. If you keep the ground of your garden densely covered but have a separate area of bare ground within view, most chickens will leave the garden behind and gravitate toward the uncovered soil.  Clear a square space roughly 1 yard (91.4 cm) long and 1 yard (91.4 cm) wide. Remove all plant life from that space, including weeds and grass, leaving only the bare soil behind. The chickens will gravitate toward this area. They may scratch and poke around for insects, and they'll often use this space for dust baths. If they have a space dedicated for these purposes, they may not be inclined to do these things elsewhere in your yard. It is also a good idea to sprinkle diatomaceous earth over this patch of ground every few months to keep chicken mites away. If you're trying to repel your own chickens, you might want to consider planting two separate gardens: one for you and one for your chickens. Fill the chicken garden with plenty of appealing and healthy edible plants for your chickens to nibble on.  This trick works best when used in conjunction with other chicken-repelling techniques. Creating a separate chicken garden may not be enough to solve the problem if it is the only thing you do. Your chicken garden should include bushes and low-growing trees that can provide shelter for chickens needing to hide from the sun or from potential predators. Include an evergreen shrub so that the chickens have cover in the winter, as well. Planting edible bushes will be a bonus feature for the chickens. Berry bushes, like elderberry and blueberry bushes, are usually good options. When you're trying to manage your own chickens, the use of edible bushes can also reduce the cost of feeding your chickens.
