Problem: Article: Before you can grow fenugreek for yourself, you will need to obtain the seeds from which the plants grow. If you know someone who already grows this herb, you could ask them for some, but most likely you will need to buy some. Because fenugreek is commonly used in Indian curries and homeopathic medicine, you can try an Indian grocery store or an herb shop. You can also try online stores like Amazon.com, Foodtolive.com, or Nuts.com.  Depending on where you buy from and whether or not you buy organic seeds, it will cost anywhere between 25 cents to $1 for an ounce of fenugreek seeds. Although some plants are particular in that they must be planted in tightly controlled conditions, fenugreek can be planted in the soil in your yard, a twelve inch planter, or even an aluminum tray filled with dirt. Ideally you want an area with full sun, but partial shade or even filtered sunlight will also work. Fenugreek does not do well when transplanted, so either plan to plant your fenugreek in the area where it will mature from the beginning, or try using a biodegradable pot that you can plant into the ground later. You will want the soil you use to have a well-drained, loamy texture. It should also have a slightly acidic pH balance. 6.4 pH is considered ideal, but anything between 6.0 and 7.0 pH is generally considered acceptable, so test it before you plant your seeds. Fenugreek prospers in warm soil, so any time from spring to early autumn will work for most places. If you live in a colder place, or you want to start growing your fenugreek before spring, you can start it off indoors as early as 5 weeks before the last frost. Fenugreek seeds must be continually kept moist, but you also have to make sure they don't become overwatered. For that purpose you will need to make sure that the water can easily drain away by breaking up any large chunks of soil. You can also mix in river sand to make it drain better, and add organic compost material and manure to help fertilize it better. You'll also need to make sure that there is space to cover your seeds with more potting soil.  If you are planting your seeds in an outdoor garden, you'll want to dig the ground up to 25 cm down to break up soil. If you are using a container (like a pot or an aluminum pan) with loose potting soil instead, you probably won't need to break any of the soil once you've poured it into the container. Be sure to leave some space between the top of the soil and the edge of the container to fill in more soil on top of the seeds once they have been sown. Soaking the seeds overnight before you plant them will help to increase their germination rate. Place the seeds in a bowl or cup of room temperature water and leave them there overnight. In the morning, drain the water before planting the seeds.
Summary: Get fenugreek seeds. Pick a space to grow your fenugreek. Check the soil conditions. Schedule to plant around early spring. Prepare your soil. Soak the seeds overnight before planting them.

Problem: Article: Crowding too much bait into a container can cause the bait to die more quickly. Too many fish will deplete oxygen quickly and create too much heat. For example, only put about six dozen small minnows (3/4' to 1" long) in an eight-quart container. For example, you can store your bait container in a closet or a basement. Minnows are delicate and thrive better in cooler water. The water will warm up too quickly if you keep the cooler in a bright area. An aerator will add oxygen to the water so that the minnows don't use it up and suffocate. This is especially important if you need to keep the fish for a day or two, and if you don't plan on switching out the bait container water often.  Those that sell minnows commercially usually use an aeration system that oxygenates their water in one of two ways: agitation or compressed oxygen.  An aerator can help to increase the lifespan of your minnow. This is due to the fact that other ways of aerating the water, such as adding additional water or adding hydrogen peroxide, can stress the fish immensely. With an aerator, the minnows get to simply stay in the water that you have already acclimated them to. You only want to add one ounce of three percent hydrogen peroxide solution for every three gallons of water. The hydrogen peroxide assists in the formation of oxygen in the water, replacing oxygen that is used up by the fish.  You can also add more distilled water as necessary to refresh the minnows' water. Adding hydrogen peroxide to water is a controversial idea. Some people believe that it helps to oxygenate the water and won't hurt fish but others argue that it could kill fish easily. If you are unsure or apprehensive about adding it to your minnow's water, find an alternative, such as an aerator or changing the water frequently. Place ice cubes in a jar in the water that's inside the bait bucket to keep it sufficiently cool for the minnows. Repeat this as often as necessary to keep the water cool.  Although minnows can survive in warm water, the rate of death increases dramatically once holding water is above 60 °F (15.6 °C). Try to keep your water below this temperature. Don't add ice directly to the water the minnows are in. The ice may contain small amounts of chemicals or chlorine that will kill the fish.
Summary:
Don't overcrowd your minnow tank. Store the container in a dark, cool spot. Put an aerator in the container. Pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide into the cooler if you do not have an aerator. Keep the water cool.
