eduKayt's Tip of the Day 5/25/10: Weed It Yourself

Countdown to Memorial Day Weekend: 3 days!

If you haven't found the right weed killer spray or you are afraid about hurting mother nature or you don't feel like spending money on that shit, weed the garden yourself! Slap on some sexy gardening gloves and get in there. If the soil is a little moist, it makes it a lot easier to get in there... cue "that's what she said". Make sure you go for the base of the weed. Pull it out slowly so you get all of it right down to the root. If you only pull out the top of the weed, it will be back in days. If you can't grab it all out, take a shovel and dig that bitch out.

Consider yourself eduKayted.

eduKayt's Project of the Weekend 4/2/10: Pots & Plants

Happy fucking easter! This weekend we will be planting some flowers in your sexy outdoor space! Whether you have a huge yard or just a balcony, you can add some flowers to jazz it up.

1) Before you go shopping for plants, know how much sunlight your outdoor area gets. For example, if you get no direct sunlight, don't go buying roses! Impatiens are great for shady spaces.

2) Get down to your local store and buy some pots, soil, and flowers.

3) For HUGE flowers, throw in some miracle grow. As I always say, go big or go home.

4) For all you delicate flowers, grab some gardening gloves so you don't fuck up your manicure.

5) Pick up a garden spade and start digging.

6) Follow the directions for your particular flower and make sure you dig enough space.

7) Put the plant in and fill the hole with the leftover soil.

8) Water once a day or according to directions. Some flowers need less, some more.

Throw in some easter lilies and consider yourself eduKayted.
