How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

As with any tool that operates on a battery, you`ll want to make sure to use fresh ones. Weak batteries can give off false readings, and you want accuracy. Also, make sure the contacts on your stud finder don`t have any crud getting in the way of placing them firmly against the wall.
Place the stud finder flat against the wall, press and hold the power button, and wait for 1-2 seconds. The tool automatically calibrates to the wall`s surface. If there is a calibration error, or if you have started over a stud, the tool will intermittently beep and the lights may flash.
Whether you`re scanning for studs, metal or live wires the first step is always letting the tool calibrate properly before you move it.
Stud finder is sensitive to the electric field; electric field depends on the distance (i.e. how far you are from the live wire) and the medium (i.e. the material between you and wire (air or other material). If you put some paper between the stud finder and the wall you decrease the sensitivity of the stud finder.
The Mastercraft Magnetic Stud Finder eases the process of locating screws, nails and metal studs behind walls. This wall stud finder detects studs by using rare earth magnets.
One common cause of a stud finder beeping is that it needs to be recalibrated. In that case, simply try to restart your pass along the wall to get a better reading. Some stud finders can also detect voltage and will beep to alert the user of live wires behind drywall.
The general spacing for wall studs is 16 inches on center, but they can be 24 inches. At my home, the exterior wall studs are spaced at 24-inch centers, but the interior walls are 16 inches on center.
Your best stud finder app options use your phone`s EMF sensor (electromagnetic field) to hone in on the source. The most reliable we`ve found is Stud Finder by Tue Nguyen Minh on iPhone`s app store. The interface is simple to understand and easy to read. It`s not available on Android, though.
They can`t detect the actual stud, so there`s some guesswork as you look for the exact center. Electronic stud finders actively detect differences in wall density to find studs. They typically use batteries as a power source. Many can detect wood or metal studs and some have AC power detection.
Stud finder app for iOS and Android brings the simplicity and effectiveness of a real stud detector tool to your iPhone or Android device. The app uses your device`s compass (magnetometer sensor) to pinpoint metal studs, nails, and screws embedded in all wood wall studs.

What type of oil does it use? – Troy-Bilt 4-Cycle Curve Shaft Gas String Trimmer #41ADT41C966
ANSWER : I think all of these 4-stroke trimmers use SAE 30HD oil. I recommend synthetic. If you use synthetic, you can get away with using a multi-viscosity like 10W-30 if you can’t find straight SAE30 synthetic, but don’t use muti-viscosity conventional oil in these machines.
