Q: Hopefully your heat-tolerant, drought resistant varieties won't clamor for water. While the plants are getting established on the rooftop though, they will probably need more water than for the remainder of their growing life. If it's raining, assume that's the watering done for you.    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5c\/Build-a-Green-Roof-Step-10Bullet1-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Build-a-Green-Roof-Step-10Bullet1-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5c\/Build-a-Green-Roof-Step-10Bullet1-Version-2.jpg\/aid688104-v4-728px-Build-a-Green-Roof-Step-10Bullet1-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","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>"} Check blockages quickly and mend them; any backup of water being unable to escape can result in roof landing inside your home.
A: Water only if needed. Keep a regular check on drainage.

Article: Before you can actually change any aspect of yourself, you'll need to acknowledge that something needs to change and identify the habit you wish to break. Perhaps someone has told you that you're doing something upsetting, or maybe you've simply recognized already that one of your habits is affecting your wellbeing in some way. Whatever your situation might be, identifying what isn't working well in your life is the first step towards change.  Think about all the undesirable situations currently in your life. Do you suffer from money problems? Health issues like obesity or smoker's cough? Hygienic problems? Give yourself an honest assessment and identify areas of your life that are causing you problems. Once you've identified the undesired situations in your life, take a step back and analyze your behavior and your actions to determine what you're doing that is causing/creating those situations. Are your money problems caused by compulsive shopping? Perhaps weight problems are caused by poor diet or lack of exercise? A smoker's cough is undeniably caused by smoking, which may lead to money problems as well. Most undesirable habits fall into one of three categories: habits of the mind (such as thinking negative thoughts about yourself), habits of consumption (like overeating or smoking cigarettes), and habits of behavior (such as anxious nail biting). Recognizing where your habit falls on this spectrum can help you identify other factors, like when and why you engage in that behavior. Now that you recognize what it is that's causing your problems, think about why you engage in that behavior. Every habit gives you something that you enjoy, even if that "reward" is simply avoiding something unpleasant that you don't want to do. Think about why you continue to engage in your undesirable habit, even though you recognize that it is causing you problems.  Some of the most common reasons for bad habits are attention, pleasure/gratification, excitement, comfort/validation, avoidance, and lack of consequences. Are your bad behaviors reinforced by others, or just by your own needs? Think about why your motivators (like attention, validation, etc.) are important to you. What do you get out of feeling that way? Sometimes recognizing your motivation will help you recognize your triggers. For example, you might be seeking excitement because of boredom, or seeking pleasure/gratification because you're stressed out. But other times your triggers might be less obvious. Before you can actually break your habit, you'll need to learn to recognize situations and scenarios that tend to precede your undesirable behavior. Train your mind to become more aware of your mood and your thoughts/feelings immediately before you engage in the bad habit. Studies show that commitment to change is a vital part of the transformation process. Without deep personal commitment, most people cannot change themselves or their habits.  You may be able to get support from friends/relatives, but you'll need to believe in yourself first and foremost. Making the commitment to transform your own behavior will help motivate you to work hard and break your undesirable habits.

Recognize your undesirable habit. Determine your motivating factors. Identify your triggers. Commit to change.

Problem: Article: When you discover a fresh marking that’s still wet, grab a couple of old towels and press them firmly into the mattress to absorb as much of the urine as possible. Replace the towels with dry ones as needed. You know you’ve absorbed as much as possible when towels come away dry.  Launder the towels immediately to remove the urine and get rid of the smell, otherwise the cat may mark again. Use paper towels if you don't want to get cat urine on your towels. When the weather is mild enough and it’s not raining, take the mattress outside if you can. This will make it easier to soak the mattress with water and cleaner, and speed up the drying process. Place the mattress on a clean surface, such as a picnic table or patio. To protect the mattress from dirt, lay down a large plastic sheet before you put down the mattress. When the weather is too cold, snowing, or raining, leave the mattress in place on the bed. Lay down a large plastic sheet between the mattress and the box spring. Place one or two folded towels between the mattress and box spring underneath the affected area on the mattress. The towels and plastic will help protect the box spring and the floor below from water damage. Fill a bucket with about 4 cups (940 ml) of room temperature water. Pour the water on the affected area of the mattress. Concentrate the water on the affected area as much as possible without soaking the rest of the mattress. Dousing the area with water will dilute the urine and reduce the smell. Once you’ve thoroughly soaked the area with a bucketful of water, grab some fresh towels. Lay a couple of fresh towels over the wet area and press them into the mattress. Replace them with dry towels as necessary, until the towels come away dry.  Like before, place the soiled towels in the laundry immediately. Replace the towels underneath the mattress with dry ones.
Summary: Absorb excess wet urine. Take the mattress outside. Protect the box spring if you cannot move the mattress. Soak the area with water. Absorb excess moisture with towels.

Q: Like the rods, these tapered triangles are designed specifically for serrated knives. Due to the shape, they tend to work best on knives with V-shaped gullets. The process is almost identical to the rod-shaped method described above, except that you rock the edge of the tool back and forth along the bevel instead of rotating it. If you would rather not buy a single-purpose tool, you can buy a few cheap dowels from a hardware store instead. Find a dowel that sits in the knife's first scallop without wobbling, then wrap a piece of emery cloth most of the way around the dowel. Hold the cloth in place with your finger, and sharpen carefully and slowly. Switch dowels to match the size of the scallops as you move along the knife. Use a round dowel for a knife with round scallops, or a square dowel for V-shaped scallops. This is a difficult and unreliable last resort, but it is possible. Hold the knife spine securely against a hard surface and tilt the blade so the beveled edge is on top. Bring the corner of the sharpening stone to the scalloped edge and use it to sharpen the edge, rocking it back and forth to cover the full area of each scallop.
A:
Use a triangle-shaped sharpener. Make your own tool from emery cloth and dowels. Sharpen with a square stone.
