Article: Be sure to follow any directions on seed packets about how deep and how far apart you should plant seeds. Some seeds can easily grow from a depth of 6 inches, while others need to basically be on the surface of the soil. Vegetable starts, on the other hand, should be planted so that their existing soil is level with the surface. Remember that some plants can only grow in one direction, meaning that a certain part of the seed or clove needs to be facing up in order for it to grow properly. For instance, garlic cloves have a top and bottom. When planting garlic you need to face the pointy side up in order for it to grow. If you are using seeds, pack the soil back in the hole, making sure that it is firm but not totally compacted. If you are planting vegetable starts, push soil in all around the start, pressing the soil firmly so that the start stands firmly upright. The first time you water, you will want to soak the entire area. After that, keep the soil moist but don't drown the plants. Keeping up on watering is one of the most important things you can do to make your vegetables thrive. Monitor your plants and soil and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. If you are starting plants from seeds outdoors, keep the water consistently moist until the plants come up. As they grow, you can reduce the watering frequency to once or twice per week. Don't just forget about them, or they won't grow very well. Remove any weeds that pop up, fertilize if necessary, and keep on watering. You will need to keep tending to your veggies but once they are planted properly, much of your work is done!  To deter weeds from growing, consider mulching around your veggies. The little bit of effort it takes to mulch will pay off when you are not repeatedly weeding around your plants. Some vegetable plants need to be fertilized during the growing season to ensure harvest because they absorb large amounts of nutrients from the soil. Make sure that you’re aware of your plants’ specific feeding requirements.

Rit dye is a union dye, meaning that it’s universal and works on cellulose and protein fibers, which most fabrics are made of. While some fabrics, such as those that are bleach damaged or 100% acrylic, won’t accept dye, most will.  When deciding what you’d like to tie dye with Rit dye, choose:  Rayon or nylon Cotton, linen, silk, wool, and ramie Nylon-based plastic Natural materials, like wood, paper, feathers, and cork Fiber blends with at least 60% cotton.  Blends will tint evenly but won’t fully accept the color of the dye. It’s best to get everything together before you start dyeing your fabric so that you don’t run the risk of getting dye on yourself or, worse yet, your floor, clothes, or other fabrics.  Each method is a little different, requiring different tools, but you will generally need:  Plastic bags (preferably bags that seal) Newspaper (to protect your work area) Gloves (to keep dye off your hands) Rubber bands (to make patterns) A large tub – plastic tub, a sink, a washing machine, a child’s swimming pool, etc. A clear work space Enough dye for your project – 1 package of Rit powder for approximately every pound/3 yards of fabric Hot water – heat locks in dye Salt, vinegar, or laundry detergent (depending on what fabric you’re using) You want to start out with clean fabric.  Wash and dry your fabric and ensure that there are no stains.  Stains will prevent the fabric from picking up the dye, so look over your fabric for any blemishes and use a stain remover if necessary.  You’ll thoroughly wet and ring out the fabric again right before you begin dyeing it. The hotter the water that you use, the more vibrant the dye will be.  Always follow the package directions when preparing your dye, which should direct you to dissolve one package of Rit powder into two cups of very hot water.  You want to make sure that the powder is thoroughly dissolved before you use the dye solution. Just like when dyeing eggs, you want to add a color booster to the dye solution.  While this isn’t imperative, you’ll achieve brighter, more vibrant colors if you thoroughly dissolve a booster in your liquid. What you add will depend entirely on the type of fabric that you’re using.  1 cup salt – add this to a dye bath if you’re dyeing cotton, rayon, ramie, or linen. 1 cup white vinegar – add this to a dye bath if you’re dyeing nylon, silk, or wool.
