Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove large pieces of debris from the surface of the soil. Allow standing water to dry naturally. Choose an aeration tool that’s appropriate for the size of your work site. Break up the surface of the soil with your aeration tool. Keep the aerated soil clear for the next few days.

Answer: Go around the area you want to dry and pick up or relocate any rocks, brush, or other ground cover you find sitting on top of the dirt. Clearing away these materials will improve the site’s exposure to air and sunlight, both of which have a natural drying effect on wet soil.  It’s especially important to do away with absorbent plant matter. Things like dead leaves, old mulch, and decaying plant stalks have a tendency to hold water, which will just keep your soil soggy.  If you don’t clear your work site first, there’s also a risk that you could inadvertently work the debris down into the soil as you turn it, making the problem worse. You can enhance air circulation and access to sunlight even further by cutting back sources of deep shade, such as overgrown shrubs and high branches with thick foliage. Aeration will only help dry out your dirt if it isn’t totally saturated. If there’s visible puddling or pooling on the surface, you’ll either need to give the excess moisture time to disappear on its own or resort to a different, more immediate method, such as adding organic drying amendments or lime.  You’ll know your soil is ready to aerate once it’s firm to the touch. It can still be wet, but it shouldn’t be so soft that it loses its shape easily.  As mentioned, proper exposure to sunlight and air is key to drying out soggy soil quickly. For this reason, it’s best to plan your project for a clear, dry stretch where no further precipitation is expected. A basic step aerator will work best for small yards and isolated patches of dirt. Long-pronged gardening forks, spike rakes, and strap-on aeration shoes are another useful option. Each of these tools is inexpensive, intuitive, and easy to clean and maintain. If you need to cover more ground, it may be worth it to invest in a manual or motorized rotary aeration machine. Start at one end of the site and work your way across to the opposite end. Then, turn and go back in the opposite direction, using the prongs of your tool to churn up a fresh patch of untouched soil. Continue in this way until you’ve turned the entire area you want to dry. As you work, the prongs of your aerator will open up lots of little holes in the dirt, allowing more air and sunlight to get in.  To use a step aerator, place the prongs against the ground at a 90-degree angle and place your full weight on the head of the tool with one foot to plunge it into the dirt. When using a rake or fork, thrust the prongs into the ground like a spear, then rock the long handle back and forth to loosen the soil. If you’ve opted for a pair of aeration shoes, simply strap them to your feet and walk back and forth across your work site. With this method, you’ll get a little exercise as an added bonus! Operating an aerator machine is usually as easy as pushing it across your work surface like a lawn mower, but be sure to consult the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that you’re using the tool safely and effectively. As soon as you’re finished, collect any lingering debris that your aerator uncovered. Afterwards, make an effort to keep rocks, fallen branches, deteriorating plant matter and other materials picked up while the elements do their thing. As long as the weather stays dry, your soil should be workable within about a week’s time. Removing large clumps of loosened dirt can give the soil more room to expand, which in turn will improve its ability to drain more completely.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid contact with your ex. Get rid of shared belongings. Avoid checking up on your ex. Alter your daily routine.

Answer: Even if you think you want to be friends with your ex, it's important to give yourself some time away from him or her. You must fully heal before you can begin spending time with your ex again.  If you don't allow for any healing time, you may continue to think of your ex as your partner because your bond as a couple will not have been broken. Take a moment to think about why you want to be friends. If it's because you're scared about living your life without your ex, you may be using it as a way to avoid dealing with the grief of the breakup. Most people do not end up being friends with their exes. Don't feel bad if it just doesn't feel right, even after you've had your time to grieve. If you find yourself thinking about your ex whenever you look at the watch he got you for Christmas or the DVD collection you bought together, it might be time to part with these things.  If you don't want to throw items away, consider donating them to charity. Remove any pictures of your ex from your house. If you lived together and you can't get rid of all of your shared belongings, it might help to revitalize your space with some new energy by changing the paint color or reorganizing the furniture. This will help it feel like your own place instead of the place you shared with your ex. You will never be able to stop thinking about your ex if you are getting status updates about him or her on your phone all the time. Even if things did not end with animosity, it may be a good idea to unfriend your ex on social media. Similarly, it's a good idea to stop driving past your ex's house on your way to work or asking your mutual friends about how your ex is doing. People often develop a routine with their significant others, and following the same routine after you break up can emphasize feelings of loneliness and trigger thoughts about them. Create a new routine all your own. Instead of making your signature Saturday breakfast, try taking a walk and trying out a new cafe.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Bring the sugar and 1 cup water to a boil. Mix the syrup and juices. Add the strawberry syrup. Add the rum. Mix in the water. Serve the punch plain or over ice.

Answer:
Pour 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat to make a simple syrup. Stir the mixture as it boils, and keep cooking until the sugar dissolves into the water. It should take about three minutes. Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool completely.  If you don't want to make your own syrup, it's available for purchase wherever liquor is sold; just look for the section where mixers are stocked. Or you can just mix a cup of sugar and a cup of water; the drink won't be as smooth, but it will taste still taste good. Pour the syrup into a large bowl and mix it with fresh lime and lemon juice. Jamaican punch typically contains strawberry syrup, lending this cocktail a bright fruity flavor and classic red hue. In place of strawberry syrup, you can use cherry syrup or another flavor that's red in appearance. Mix in the Jamaican white rum (or spiced rum, if you'd prefer). Add more or less rum according to your preference. Start by adding five cups of water, then give the mixture a taste. You can drink it as is or add the last cup of water to dilute it a bit. Either way is acceptable. This type of punch is not normally served in a large punch bowl, but instead in individual cocktail glasses. Garnish the punch with a pineapple ring or a cherry.
