Q: Group together 2-3 canes and gently secure them together for support against the wind. Make sure to keep your zip ties or cotton string loose so they don’t abrade the plant. Add a layer of dry straw around the canes, then wrap them carefully in a sheet of burlap. Secure the burlap with twine or wire to keep everything in place. Use the hilling technique to protect the plant’s roots and crown. Use a shovel to create a 1 ft (30 cm) high and 1 ft (30 cm) wide mound of soil or compost. If you choose to use compost, add another 6 in (15 cm) of compost or straw to the top and sides of the mound. The level will go down as the compost decomposes. Carefully pull back the hilling mound, spreading the soil or compost through the garden with a rake. Unwrap the burlap, twine, or wire from the bundled canes gently. Use pruning shears to clip the zip ties or cotton string. You can look up the date of your first thaw by entering your zip code at https://davesgarden.com/guides/freeze-frost-dates/#b.
A: Bundle and tie your climbing roses with zip ties or cotton string. Wrap the bundles with dry straw and burlap. Pile up 1 ft (30 cm) of well-drained soil or compost around the base. Remove any covering and leaves when the ground thaws in the spring.

Article: 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.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Keep bare patches away from the garden. Plant a separate garden for the chickens.

Q: Communication is easier than ever with the onslaught of cell phones and social media outlets. While this is not necessarily a bad things, as people are becoming increasingly social and more connected, it has changed the way we communicate and what information we expect to know about others.  Communication used to be confined to certain times and places, but with social media and cell phones we can stay in touch with loved ones wherever and whenever we want. We've come to expect an onslaught of information immediately.  Social media fuels nosiness in that it invites certain questions. Posting online about your job, travel plans, interpersonal relationships, and your own emotional state fuels curiosity. If your parents are already nosy, consider either blocking them on social media or using filtered settings to limit what information they can see. Is there a reason your parents are particularly nosy about you and your behavior? Are they equally invested in your siblings and other relatives? If not, there might be a reason they're focusing their attention on you.  You might not be communicating effectively. Oftentimes, people think they're being as open and honest as ever but due to communication barriers they are not fully aware of they've recently changed how they communicate. Has there been a sudden change in your situation? Are you busier than you used to be? More stressed? Dealing with more information than usual? If there's been any change to your situation, you might be putting up communication barriers that are making your parents push for more information. Has there been a major life change recently? New babies, marriages, divorces, and moving from place to place triggers parental nosiness. While your parents might think they're being helpful with their constant questions, it may read as nosy to you. Your parents might not think of themselves as nosy. Many people simply have a greater need for communication and are more open about their own lives, emotions, and needs and expect the same in return.  Some people are compulsive communicators. This means they talk and ask questions because they don't know any other way to interact, and quiet time makes them nervous.  People with anxiety issues often talk more without realizing it. If your parents are the nervous type, this might be a habit they picked up over time to deal with excess stress. Knowing exactly what's going on and nitpicking for information provides temporary relief from anxiety inducing thoughts.  Extroverts communicate in a different way. While it's a myth that extroverts are bad listeners or that they talk too much, if your parents are far on the extrovert side of the scale they're more likely to try and draw out information by asking leading questions. They're not trying to be rude or nosy. This is simply how they process information.
A:
Understand how technology has changed our expectations. Look for extenuating circumstances. Know that some people simply communicate more.
