Problem: Article: Keep them well watered throughout the growing season to prevent the ground from drying out. Reduce the amount of water a couple of weeks before harvest; allow the ground to dry between watering. Ensure to water the crop adequately during the growing season as the plants require water for growth and sprout development. However, Brussels sprouts need a large amount of water but do not like standing water. That being said, lighter soils will require more frequent waterings than heavier soils. Stop fertilizing when you cut back on watering at the end of the growing season. In addition, removing the growing tip of the plant about a month before the harvesting date will result in greater yields as the plant will divert energy from leaf growth into developing the Brussels sprouts. This feeds the plants and provides a barrier for weeds. Brussels sprouts have a very shallow root system, so avoid disturbing the soil around them. Weed the area carefully by hand if needed. Aphids and cabbage worms are common pests that will affect the sprouts. Maintaining the soil PH at 6.5 or above will help prevent certain diseases such as club root (a soil borne fungus).
Summary: Water the plants at the base after transplanting. Feed Brussels sprouts with a nitrogen fertilizer every few weeks. Add organic compost to the top of the soil around the plants regularly.

Problem: Article: When you approach a girl, she may be a little suspicious at first, so don’t immediately ask her for her number or give her yours. Let the approach lead you to a conversation with her. Talk to her for a while so that she’ll feel comfortable and get to know you a bit. She’ll be more likely to want to see you again if she feels like she knows you a bit. One of the best ways to seal the deal and get a girl’s phone number is to be confident and calm the entire time you are talking to her. If you are really anxious or self conscious, the girl will pick up on it, get a negative vibe from you, and most likely not give you her number. If you feel nervous, take a deep breath and try to fake the confidence. Imagine you’re just talking to a friend instead of a girl you like. At the end of your conversation, ask if you can exchange numbers with the girl to possibly see her again. Ask her to enter her number in your phone and you can to the same with hers, or you can call or send a quick text so your number is on her phone. Say something like, “I’m sorry to end this, but I have to be going. I’ve really enjoyed talking to you, and I’d love to do it again sometime. Let’s exchange numbers so we can meet up for coffee sometime.” The great thing about picking up a girl at the mall is that you don’t have to go far to have a first mini date. After talking to a girl for a bit, go out on a limb and ask her if she’d like to join you for coffee or lunch at a place in the mall. Tell her you want to hear more about her and would love to buy her a coffee.
Summary: Make conversation first. Be confident in yourself. Ask to exchange numbers. Invite her to coffee at the mall.

Problem: Article: Depending on the engine you are using, you may need to use a pair of pliers to disconnect the spark plug wire to remove the oil drain plug. Use a suitable receptacle to drain the oil into, and wipe any spills. It's best to drain the oil from an engine when it's slightly warm, as the heat allows for a faster flow than when cold. Loosen the fuel hose clamp before you start draining your fuel. You can do so by tracing the route of the fuel hose from the engine to the base of the gas tank. Notice where the hose attaches to your lawn mowers carburetor. Using your pliers, squeeze the clamp loose and slide it upwards on the hose. Now you can detach the hose and drain your fuel into a bucket. You can usually find the throttle linkage beneath the carburetor. There will be a cable that should connect to the throttle, and by removing the screw that holds the cable in place, you can easily remove the throttle linkage. This part is on the side of the engine and will have the shape of a small can. Electric-start lawn mowers will have a red battery cabled attached. Use a wrench to unfasten the cable from the starter. At the base of your mower engine is the mower house, which is where the engine is seated normally. Using your wrench on the bolt and another to hold still the nut below the mower house, unscrew the bolts holding your engine in place. You will find the drive belt on pulley on the crankshaft beneath the engine. Incline the engine slightly forward and pull the drive belt from its pulley. Taking the engine firmly with both hands, lift the engine from the mower house and place it carefully off to the side in a safe place.
Summary:
Drain the oil. Drain the gas. Locate the throttle linkage. Find the starter. Remove necessary nuts and bolts. Take off the drive belt. Remove the engine.
