In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: As your garden grows, so will weeds. It's important to pull them out before they crowd out your vegetables and flowers. Be diligent and weed at least twice a week to prevent this from happening. Some plants are low maintenance, while others need consistent care throughout the growing season and beyond. Here are the factors you should take into consideration:  How often does the plant need to be watered? It usually tapers off after the first few weeks. How often does the plant need to be fertilized? Some need to be fertilized more than once during the growing season. Does the plant need to be pruned? Some plants grow healthier when extra stems, leaves and dead blossoms are removed. Does the plant need support? Some plants do much better with a trellis, stake, or cage to support their limbs as they grow heavy fruits. You may need to take measures to protect your garden from deer, birds, squirrels, and insects that enjoy eating plants. If you see holes in your plants or other signs that there's a problem, determine what type of creature is causing it and take appropriate measures.  Erecting a small fence can be an effective way to keep animals out. Natural insect deterrents often work quite well, and they keep your garden organic. Try planting at least 20% of your garden with flowers to attract beneficial predators that will eat the pests. Some plants also help repel insects, such as basil and geraniums.
Summary: Weed the garden. Care for the plants according to their needs. Keep animals and insects away.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most of the time, pure hot water will be the best choice for cleaning your wood laminate floor. This is the most gentle cleanser possible, and is least likely to damage your floors. Water is also the least likely to leave streaks on your floor. If you need something a little more powerful than plain water, try adding white vinegar to hot water. This can be a slightly more powerful (though still gentle) way to remove dirt and grime from your laminate floors.  Add ½ cup of white vinegar to 1 gallon of hot water. You can add a few drops of lavender essential oil for a nice smell. Another option is to purchase the specific cleansing produce created for your floor. Often times, you can find the exact brand to match the brand of your flooring (such as Pergo or Quick Step). Wood laminate floor cleaners can be found at most home improvement stores. An inexpensive option for cleaning your laminate floors is to use baby shampoo. This is a great way to remove dirt or mud without damaging your floors.  Add two Tablespoons of baby shampoo to one gallon of hot water. You can purchase baby shampoo at pharmacies, grocery stores, and big box stores. Do not try this with regular "adult" shampoo, as this will leave a residue on your floor.
Summary: Start with hot water. Dilute vinegar. Purchase wood laminate floor cleaner. Try baby shampoo.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When preparing shelving, take a look at the rest of your room. Notice any common colors in your furniture, walls, and flooring. Chances are a few colors appear in your room more often than others. Alter the rest of the room along with your shelf decorations to include these colors.  A room theme works best when the colors you choose are interspersed throughout the room. For instance, if your room has a nautical theme, you could include white china and blue books on your shelves. The characteristics of the shelving and decorations you use should change depending on the room. Select each item carefully so it matches with the overall aesthetic of the room. Modern shelving or decorations may look out of place in a room designed to appear rustic. If you have a modern room with sleek, dark furniture, you might want to use metal shelves. Then, decorate the shelves with metal picture frames, electronics, and colorful displays. Open shelves are a focal point in a room, so you don't want the wall behind it to stand out. A neutral shade like white often works well. You can also use light colors such as a pale blue or wood paneling. Avoid dark, drab colors, since these contrast against most decorations. To highlight a few select items on open shelves, you can paint the wall behind it a bold color. Or, you can add patterned wallpaper. This adds a fun pop of color and directs the eye toward the shelves. Leave some walking space between the shelves and furniture. Also, after the work you probably went through in arranging the shelves, you won't want to obscure the decor behind a large couch. Move furniture away so the shelves are visible.  Placing a large chair near a shelf can be distracting. The size of the chair draws eyes to it, so your shelves will likely be underappreciated. If you want furniture near the shelves, restrict it to a single small chair if possible. Or, make sure the furniture is a solid or neutral color so the area doesn't look too busy. This includes the walls as well as the floor. Let the shelves stand alone. Try not to hang any large or gaudy wall art next to the shelves. Also, avoid placing large cabinets or additional shelving units nearby, since this can cause your space to look overcrowded.  Distracting wall decorations can include bright wall paint, wallpaper, posters, and framed art. Intersperse other storage and shelving units throughout your home to create consistency. If you wish to place other eye-catching decorations nearby, make your shelves less of a focal point. To do this, store less items on the shelves. Choose mostly items with neutral colors, such as white.  Keep your room balanced by not drawing attention from nearby decorations. For example, a fancy framed painting may be on the wall. If you don't move it, it will be the first item anyone sees when they step into the room. Periodically check your room to keep your decor up to date. Clean up any clutter and eliminate any items that no longer belong there. Refill your shelves with new items to keep your decor fresh. Adjust any wall decorations or nearby furniture as needed to keep the room fresh.  Even rearranging the items on your shelving can make your decor look new again. You may want to change up your decor based on the season as well. For instance, you could add Christmas decor around the holidays or include brighter items during the summer.
Summary:
Establish a color theme throughout your room. Match the shelf and decoration style to the room. Paint the back wall a simple color if your shelves are busy. Use bold paint or patterned wallpaper if your shelves are bare. Move furniture at least 3 ft (0.91 m) away from the shelves. Decorate the area surrounding the shelves sparingly. Simplify the decor if you display other items nearby. Review your decor on occasion.
