Problem: Article: Inchworms are small and may feed at night, so recognize other signs of infestation, since they may stay out of sight. Look for little holes in the leaves of your trees, bushes, and garden plants. The more you see, the more likely it is that you have a large population of inchworms.  Inchworms are commonly attracted to elm, fir, hickory, maple, oak, and pine trees. Since they also eat fruit, they can often be found in berry bushes and fruit trees. Before you go through the trouble of trying to solve it, decide if it’s really worth the effort. Consider where you found evidence of inchworms, and how pervasive it is. For instance:  Individual inchworms don’t eat much, so if you only find sporadic leaves that seem to be eaten, the population is probably small.  If the leaves in question are confined to trees, the trees may offer enough food to support the population without widespread damage.  Smaller plant life, like garden plants and bushes, are more at risk, since they offer less material for the inchworms to feed on. Lots of small animals feed on inchworms, so encourage their presence. Birds are perhaps the easiest (and preferable) to attract, so hang bird houses and feeders around the affected area. In addition to birds, inchworms are also prey to:  Lizards Yellow jackets Wasps Spray the leaves or the worms directly with insecticides, which are an effective means of dealing with inchworms. Or, if you’re worried about toxins, use a non-toxic remedy. Instead of traditional chemical poison, use a natural pathogen, like bacillus thuringiensis, which you can find online or in garden stores.  Bacillus thuringiensis only affects insects, making it an ideal solution for gardens, fruit trees, berry bushes, or other crops. Treat the area again next spring to eliminate any eggs that may have been fertilized during your last infestation. Different types of inchworm reproduce at different times, but all types hatch in spring.
Summary: Identify signs of damage. Ask yourself if it’s really a problem. Let predators do the work. Treat the affected area with pest control.

Problem: Article: Logs should be processed into lumber as soon as possible to prevent the ends from drying and the wood from rotting. While the ideal thickness for lumber is 1 inch (2.5 cm), you may saw your logs into lumber that is between ¾ inch to 2 inches (5.1 cm) in thickness. If you are processing the wood yourself, make an effort to achieve uniform length and thickness. If you are unable to saw your own logs, find a sawmill to do the job for you. You may wish to cut your wood slightly oversized to account for shrinkage. The ends of lumber cure faster than the rest of the wood. To ensure that your wood cures evenly, it is best to seal the ends immediately after sawing the logs into lumber. You may coat each end of the wood in a commercial end sealer, paraffin wax, polyurethane shellac, or latex paint. Build up a thick layer of the sealer of your choice to prevent moisture from escaping out of the ends. When air-drying your wood, the curing time is determined by a simple formula. Allow 1 year of drying time per 1 inch (2.5 cm) of thickness. This formula only provides a rough estimate. It does not account for all variables, such as the weather and the location of the woodpile. For example, if a piece of wood is 1 inch thick, it would take 1 year to properly cure the lumber.
Summary: Process the wood. Seal the ends of the lumber. Determine its cure time.

Problem: Article: Make sure there are 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5cm) of water above the eggs. This will help to keep the eggs inside their shells if they break. A roiling boil may crack the eggs. Some people prefer to hard boil the eggs by placing them in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. This depends upon your taste preference, since some people believe slightly softer yolks taste better.    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cc\/Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/v4-459px-Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/cc\/Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/aid2780840-v4-728px-Make-Pickled-Eggs-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":306,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"485","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}  Remove any eggs that cracked during the boiling process.

Summary: Place 6 to 8 eggs in a medium saucepan. Cover them with water. Pour a splash of distilled white vinegar into the water. Heat the eggs to a low boil, using medium-high heat. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 15 minutes.

Problem: Article: Over time, scratches in the glassware can result in cracked glass and breakage. Clean glass bakeware using non-scratch nylon pads or sponges to prevent scratches. To remove tough baked on food, soak the dish in warm water prior to scrubbing. This will help to loosen the food and make cleaning the dish much easier. In order to remove grease stains from your glass bakeware, sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of the pan with a little bit of dish soap. Let the dish soak in warm water for 15 minutes before scrubbing with a non-scratch pad. When cleaning, storing, or cooking with glass bakeware, make sure that you handle the product with care. Avoid scratching the glass with metal utensils, dropping the dish, or banging against other pots and pans. Glassware can crack over time, so handle yours carefully. This way, you can enjoy your bakeware for years to come.
Summary:
Clean glass bakeware using non-scratch pads. Try cleaning with dish soap and baking soda. Handle glass bakeware with care.
