Drought Conditions and Your Plants - Alabama A&M University
- Trees and shrubs planted within the last year are most at risk from drought, while established plants can withstand more, though azaleas and hydrangeas are suffering even if established.
- Xeriscaping involves grouping plants by water needs and limiting water use areas, as well as practices like only watering plants and not paved areas, watering based on plant type and weather, and using soaker hoses or drip irrigation.
- Established warm season turf can be weaned off frequent watering by raising the mowing height, reducing fertilizer, and allowing dormancy, while centipede and St. Augustine grass may need more water to survive prolonged

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
