5
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:52.439
to garden Line. Good morning.
I am glad you're listening today. We've

6
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.479
got a lot of things to talk
about. It is going to be a

7
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.520
wonderful weekend for gardening. You know, we went through the rain, some

8
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.560
of you got a lot of rain
last few days. Things are cleared up.

9
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.719
Now it's time to get back outside, time to enjoy the weather.

10
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.760
It's going to be a good day
today. As a matter of fact,

11
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.920
while I'm thinking about it, I
am going to be at the Scifair Home

12
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.400
and Garden Show today. That will
be after, of course, after the

13
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.760
Garden Line. Sha'll get there about
twelve o'clock. Be there, I don't

14
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.519
know, probably until two o'clock or
so. I'll be giving a little presentation

15
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.400
on some things you need to be
aware of for gardening, some tips answering

16
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.560
your gardening questions and certainly doing a
diagnosis, identification, whatever you need.

17
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.400
In other words, bring me a
sample and a bag. Just zip it

18
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.680
up and bring it in. Let's
take a look at it or samples.

19
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.760
And also on your phone photos you've
got a picture of a plant, picture

20
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.040
of an area we can help you
with. We'd be glad to do that.

21
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.159
By the way, The sy Fair
Home and Garden Show is at the

22
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:56.359
Berry Center on Barker Cypress Road.
They get this. Parking is free,

23
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.640
admission is free. I don't think
you're going to talk them down on that

24
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.200
price. Free parking, free admission. Just come on in, enjoy the

25
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.519
home and Garden show and certainly stop
by and say hello. Today I'm going

26
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.199
to be giving away some Nelson plant
food samples as well, so I hope

27
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.680
you can make it. Hope you
can join us today. Tell you what,

28
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.879
let's just start off by going straight
out to the phones. If you

29
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.159
would like to give me a call. Our number is seven to one three

30
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.000
two one two kt R H seven
one three two one two kt RH.

31
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.000
We're going to go to tom Ball
this morning and start off with Mel.

32
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.960
Good morning, Mel, Hey,
good morning man. That was quick.

33
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.639
Appreciate it. Listen, uh,
about a year and a half ago we

34
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.159
planned some baby jim boxwoods and now
they're about, oh, I think eighteen

35
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:53.319
inches tall. Problem is, we
noticed our whenever our sprinter system hits them

36
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.879
or range, like this past weekend, they just kind of explode. It's

37
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.000
like somebody dropped a ball right in
middle of them, and the they just

38
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.960
you know, like I said,
they just lay down. I mean,

39
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.680
uh, what in the world could
that be? Are you saying like the

40
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.639
branches are pushed outward and down?
Yeah, the branches are pushed. The

41
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.319
branches are pushed outward. I mean, I don't know if they I've just

42
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.199
got to talking about grubs after all, too. But I don't know what

43
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.360
the deal is. Why on earth
they can't withstand any type of pressure on

44
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.319
them? That's weird. Yeah,
how big were these plants? How tall?

45
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.919
Yeah? Well they're about eighteen inch
they're about eighteen inches tall now.

46
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.919
And this is the first this is
the first year we noticed that. This

47
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.919
is the first year that's happened.
Yeah, I've never heard of that before.

48
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.159
But just thinking logically, have you
looked down to see how many plants

49
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.680
are coming out of the ground?
Uh, you know that we're in that

50
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.479
pot? Was it just one trunk
one stem or were there more than one

51
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.840
stem in those? Oh no,
they were doing more of these. Yeah,

52
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.039
plane of these in the ground right
away. There's more than one.

53
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:09.479
I mean they were they were oh
golly, let's see, probably about ten

54
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.080
inches tall when we bought them,
something like that. I think it was

55
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.560
a three million bucket. Well,
here's what happens. Sometimes instead of being

56
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:21.240
one plant in the pot, they'll
stick two or three or more plants in

57
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:27.519
the pot, and they're not fully
rooted in, and so each individual plant,

58
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.639
not being well rooted in, can
sag outward under the weight of water,

59
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.600
wind or something like that. That's
a little bit of a long shot,

60
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:41.000
but that's the only thing that describes
it. Boxwood's normally pretty brittle,

61
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.279
and so rather than just you know, sagging outward, those branches will snap,

62
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.839
like if kids drop a basketball in
them or something like that. They

63
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:55.120
break fairly easily as far as the
roots are some goods. You know,

64
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.360
we lost all our pagonias last year
too, and I got, of course,

65
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.879
I got all kinds of cruiters out
here. You know, we've got

66
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.040
raccoons and carmondillas and all that digging
around, and the grubs I mean and

67
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.560
mobles. Now, I want to
get an early start on those grubs.

68
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.879
Is there any way possible to do
that. I've been doing some research on

69
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.480
it that says to you know,
I guess one of the best ways is

70
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:24.879
nem all but said like to put
that down starting only in July. The

71
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.759
thing is, I've been walking around
in my flower bed for the last several

72
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.959
weeks. I noticed these little white
moss coming up of the ground, these

73
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.160
little white malls and things, and
I thought, that's a sign of grubs

74
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.360
already. Well, let me let
me just all that that you said you

75
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.560
had read. Don't believe any of
that. That is incorrect. So grubs,

76
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.519
grubs. Grubs come from a little
brown beetle that typically occurs. You

77
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:57.519
see him flying around in May here
and tune and if you go online,

78
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.000
I don't know if you have a
pen or pencil handy. If not,

79
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:06.959
grab one. My website is gardening
with Skip dot com, Gardening with Skip

80
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.120
dot com and on. There is
a lawn pest, disease and weed management

81
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.720
schedule and when you look at it, what you'll see is in June we

82
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:20.720
begin treating for grubs. That's the
time, the best time because you want

83
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:27.160
the beatles to have finished laying their
eggs at least for the most part before

84
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.480
you treat. Otherwise you're treating too
early. It does no good at all

85
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:35.480
to treat between now and June.
Now, the second treatment, if you're

86
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.879
needed, is in July or August, and those are for grubs that were

87
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.720
missed in the first treatment or eggs
that were laid a little later. You

88
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.399
can do that. That's a separate
treatment though. And if you look on

89
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.439
the schedule, it tells you the
products that you can use for the grubs.

90
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.560
And I won't read them all out
right now, but it's all printed

91
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.600
on the schedule. In June,
there is one product that we use,

92
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.120
one specific ingredient. Rather you can
find it in more than one brand.

93
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.600
And then in July and August we
have to switch to a different one because

94
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.519
the grubs are deeper and the second
product or to on the list, moves

95
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.040
down in the soil further to reach
the grubs that are getting older and heading

96
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:23.360
downward due to the hot weather.
Okay, so just get that schedule.

97
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.720
It'll tell you exactly what to use, exactly when to do it. Okay,

98
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.240
real quick on that one too.
I already got mulch down. Then

99
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.040
do I have to scrape hold the
mult away or what now? No,

100
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.000
you're only treating in the lawn with
those. Don't worry about them in the

101
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:46.439
flower bed. It's not a bit
they are. I was afraid they're in

102
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.959
the flower bay because all the critters
digging around, and well they're everywhere.

103
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.959
The critters are digging for a lot
of things. I'm about to hit a

104
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.399
hard break here and I have to
run. Yeah, but the plants of

105
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.720
your flowerbed, by and large or
not target of grubs. They love grass

106
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.360
plants, grassy plants, and so
I mean you could treat your flower beds

107
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.000
at that time, but generally we
don't worry about needing to do that.

108
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.959
Hey, thank you very much for
the call. Mail you take care.

109
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.120
I appreciate it. We're going to
run to a break right here. Our

110
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.240
phone number seven one three two one
two fifty eight seventy four. Welcome back

111
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.160
to garden Line. Good to have
you with us today. Our phone number,

112
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.040
if you'd like to give me a
call seven to one three two one

113
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:33.240
two fifty eight seventy four. I
think one of the top five questions I'm

114
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.679
getting right now, and this is
both. You know, people email questions

115
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.919
when I go out and do an
event like being out today at the Cipher

116
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.320
Home and Garden show after the show, or just phone calls to garden line

117
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.879
is about lawn weeds, lawn weeds, lawn beats. Why is my lawn

118
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.320
full of weeds? What can I
do to kill them all? And one

119
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.480
of the main reasons we have weeds
in our lawn is because it is two

120
00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:01.600
dead gum weak. When a lawn
is thick and den and lush, sunlight

121
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.879
is blocked from reaching the soil and
a little weed seed trying to get started

122
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.039
cannot because it can't get the energy
it needs from the sun. So the

123
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.200
number one weed controls technique is to
grow good lawn. That's why I have

124
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.360
my lawn care schedule on Gardening with
Skip dot com at that website. Gardening

125
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.960
with Skip dot go on tells you
how to have a good lawn when your

126
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.960
law gets thin and last summer hammered
our lawns. A lot of lawns.

127
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.320
Maybe they were killed, maybe sections
were killed. Maybe the lawns survived,

128
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.120
but it thinned out. Here comes
sunlight, Here comes weeds. Wherever sunlight

129
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.080
hits the soil. Nature plants a
weed, and that's why if you're seeing

130
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.120
a lot of winter weeds in your
lawn and the big weed, the ones

131
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.120
you see that are bigger, now, those are cool season weeds. They

132
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.360
sprouted last fall. That is a
sign that you've got some thinness in there.

133
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.559
And with the weeds, it's even
getting thinner because they're shading out the

134
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.960
grass as well. So what do
you do well. Barricade is a product

135
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.399
that's a pre emergent, and we
pre mean before right, so before the

136
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.639
weeds emerge. Warm season weeds are
germanying. Now you need to get a

137
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.639
barricade application down, watered in half
inch of water. You got to get

138
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.360
it into the soil. Don't just
put the granules out. Get them into

139
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.679
the soil and all the warm season
weeds it will prevent. Just make a

140
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:24.159
note that next fall in October.
Primarily you want to do the same thing

141
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.039
for the cool season weeds. Had
you done it last fall and gotten a

142
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.600
good application, even application out,
what you're seeing now, you wouldn't be

143
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.080
seeing now. Barricades available in a
lot of different places. You can get

144
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.279
it at h or D and D
feed up in Tomball they have barricade.

145
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.679
If you go out to Angleton to
Lake Hardware, if you go to Baytown

146
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.519
to Fisher's Hardware, all those are
places where you can get barricade by nitrofoss

147
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.360
and get ahead of those weed issues. We're going to run now out to

148
00:10:54.600 --> 00:11:00.120
paar Land and visit with Mark.
Hello, Mark Good, Thanks for take

149
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.639
them a kungo. Yes, sir, I have a three and a half

150
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:09.960
gallon meer lemon that I just purchased, and I want to transplant that either

151
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.759
into a bigger pot or into the
ground that it's loaded with fruit now and

152
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:16.080
blooms, and I'm trying to do
it in a way it's not going to

153
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.759
throw all that off. Is there
a suggestion you can give me on that.

154
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.039
Well, the first thing is you
won't want to hear it. But

155
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.840
we encourage people to not let their
citrus fruit for the first two or three

156
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.759
years, wait until the third year
maybe, And the reason is a lot

157
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.279
of energy goes into that fruit and
that plant will be the same size close

158
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.240
to it at the end of the
season because it's supported all that fruit.

159
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.279
Now, I know it's hard to
not because you have a bloom, You've

160
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.279
got a lemon. My gosh,
I want to taste it this year,

161
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.879
So I'll just give you that information. You do as you choose. But

162
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.840
if you'll get the fruit off there, you can fertilize water and really get

163
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.799
it growing. In a couple of
years. You've got a nice plant that's

164
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.200
strong. It wasn't trying to raise
a whole bunch of fruit when it was

165
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.519
still a baby, so that that
would be one thing. Now as far

166
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.840
as transplanting it a good quality soil, a well drained mix. Did you

167
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.799
say it was in a container.
I didn't catch that. It is.

168
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.440
Yes, it's just small, three
and a half gallon, But I mean

169
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.519
you're going to want to move it
to another container or I'd like to get

170
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.720
it in the ground. But I'm
my first concern was saving the truth.

171
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.480
But then that's not really the best
way to do it, and I guess

172
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.799
I can. I'd rather do it
around. Yeah, it's not the best

173
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.879
way, but I understand the temptation
to do that. I just I can

174
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.440
give you the facts. You do
as you choose. It's your plant,

175
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.600
putting it in the ground. You
want to get a good quality mix.

176
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.279
You want to mix. It's got
a lot of organic matter, blend it

177
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.320
all through the soil and then dig
the hole in plant. Don't dig a

178
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.360
hole and put compost in the hole. You amend the soil in as wide

179
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.960
of an area as you can and
then dig the home in it and then

180
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.320
begin fertilizing it on a regular basis. And there's a lot of quality fertilizers

181
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.000
out there for for fruits, for
vegetables. You could even use a lawn

182
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:16.200
fertilizer on it, just not something
with weed control. Okay, very good,

183
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.879
thanks, well, good luck with
it. Thank you for the call.

184
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.960
I appreciate that. Yes, yeah, it's a It is a is

185
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.320
a difficult thing. And I've I've
felt I felt this myself. You know,

186
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.759
you get a plant and it's got
ballooms, and gosh you for crying

187
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.840
out loud, you have me to
pull them all off for a couple of

188
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:41.320
years. I want lemons soon and
or same is true with satsuma oranges or

189
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.960
regular oranges or limes or whatever.
It's just the nature of the beast.

190
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.600
Uh. And so just think of
it as a baby plant and trying to

191
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.000
support a bunch of fruit is tough, and I understand that. But anyway,

192
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.639
that's just that's just the way it
is. Same is true with peaches

193
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.519
and play you know, the first
couple of years, pull them all off

194
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.679
and get that tree up and strong. I'll tell you this. Then think

195
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.559
of it this way. If you
were to look at the first five years

196
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.919
of your fruit tree's life and you
were to say how much total fruit can

197
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:20.000
I get by year five? You're
going to have way more fruit if you

198
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.080
pull off the fruit the first two
years. Then if you leave a few

199
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.200
fruit, I mean, it won't
even be close. Because think of it

200
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.320
this way. Your fruit tree is
it's like a Christmas tree. You can

201
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.720
hang ornaments. How many ornaments can
you hang on a two foot Christmas tree?

202
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.480
How many can you hang on an
eight foot Christmas tree? A lot

203
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.000
more, right, fruit or ornaments. So the bigger you get your plant,

204
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:43.879
the better off it'll be. All
right. That's enough of that,

205
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.799
But it is a difficult thing.
I feel your pain is just the just

206
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.080
the way it is out there in
nature. Have you been do in Chenet

207
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.120
Gardens, id and Richmond? It
is an unbelievable It's an unbelievable place that

208
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.840
people come from a long distance to
go to. It's that kind of a

209
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:09.480
destination spot. And they have everything
you can imagine. I mean I could

210
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.240
sit here and just spend the whole
show naming all the things that you can

211
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.639
get, like vegetables and herbs and
fruit and roses and on and on and

212
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.720
on down the line. Excellent selection
they got staff knows what they're talking about,

213
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.600
which is very important, very very
important. It's one of those local

214
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.799
independent garden centers that we love so
much here on garden Line. For example,

215
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.240
their salvia collection. Salvia is one
of the best genera of plants that

216
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:43.879
the areas for this area, and
they have an unmatched salvia collection out there,

217
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:50.919
lots and lots available. The new
did you know the Proven Winners has

218
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:56.200
their annual plant of the year and
this year twenty twenty four, the annual

219
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.879
plant of the year is Supertunia Vista
Jasberry. Beast to Supertuni you just say,

220
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:07.840
I want to see the one with
bubblecum, bubblegum, pink ballooms.

221
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.639
I could almost say that there is
one called bubble gum too, by the

222
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:15.360
way, but Supertunia Vista Jasburry loads
up with blooms, unbelievable in a hanging

223
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.720
basket, unbelievable in a container unbelievable
in a bed where it'll spread out and

224
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:25.000
it will just be gorgeous. And
they have that at in Chenni Gardens out

225
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.080
of Richmond, Hey. They're on
FM three point fifty nine, which is

Really cool, lots of good,
good information they're on their newsletter.

232
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.480
You're listening to garden Line. If

235
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.680
For those of you that lived down
in League City, you've got an

236
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.440
excellent, excellent feed store down there, and we love feed stores on guarden

237
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.759
Line and U League City Feed.
You know the Thunderbergs. They I guess

238
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:27.039
their grandfather actually created it over forty
years ago in what used to be an

239
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.160
Ochre patch. I think anything that
begins in an ochre patch has got to

240
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:37.039
be good. I love okre Wes
and Madison. They you know, they

241
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.119
are managing the place and you walk
in and it's that typical old time feed

242
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.160
store that you would expect. I
just love walking in a feed store.

243
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.000
I love the smells and everything else
in a feed store. But they've got

244
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.799
every fertilizer I recommend. They've got
the soil blends that I recommend. They

245
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.480
have the insect a side fund to
side herbicides for weeks. They have it

246
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.039
all right there. They have been
carrying these product for a long time.

247
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.240
They give you the old fashioned service
of carrying out to the car for you.

248
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.640
Do you want a high quality pet
food for your dogs or cats,

249
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.519
well, of course they've got that
too. Backyard chickens. They can get

250
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:17.160
you set up for that as well. League City Feed is on Highway three,

251
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.079
just a few blocks south of Highway
ninety six in League City, Highway

252
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.799
three, a few blocks south the
ninety six two eight one three three two

253
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:30.079
sixteen twelve. That's it. Two
eight one three three two sixteen twelve.

254
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.000
Monday through Saturday nine to six,
and they're closed on Sunday. League City

255
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.319
Feed. Tell them we said,
hi, guardline when you run by there.

256
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.160
I was getting my still working on
getting my lawn in. I you

257
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.319
know, I told you before that
last summer, I went away for two

258
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.240
weeks and every problem that occur could
occur occurred while I was gone. When

259
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:57.000
the cat's away, the mice will
play. Chinch Bugs came in like I've

260
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:03.319
never had them before. In the
lawn take our root rot rampant. The

261
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.160
drought. It was hot and it
was dry, and my irrigation system did

262
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.480
not come on. That's a whole
nother story. So you put those three

263
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.599
together and you have got the Mohave
desert in the front yard. And that's

264
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.640
basically what happened. And I'm replacing
the lawns dam busy with that. We're

265
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.599
really looking forward to getting some new
grasses established and everything. A lot of

266
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.839
you have struggled with lawns and also
your whole landscape. Maybe you lost some

267
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.160
shrubs, maybe you have some plants
that were just too wimpy for the area.

268
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.039
Well, give pier Scapes a call, because they come out and they

269
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:44.680
do the work for you all the
way from designing a showplace to doing the

270
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.519
kinds of care that are needed to
have success. For example, your irrigation

271
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.640
system, maybe it's not efficient,
maybe it's not designed well, maybe it's

272
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.279
got problems and some of the components. Peer scapes can take care of that.

273
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.920
Do you need a hard scape.
Do you want to create a patio?

274
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.240
Pierscapes can take care of that.
Do you want some shrubs replanted.

275
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.440
Do you want to say, hey, guys, I need something that's more

276
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.880
drought tolerant than this for shade or
son or whatever. Pier scapes can take

277
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.880
care of that. You need to
give them a call soon though. They

278
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.000
stay busy. That's what happens when
you do a good job, You stay

279
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.440
busy, and they do stay busy. Pierscapes dot com that's the website.

280
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.160
Check out check out their work.
It is stunning. Two eight one three

281
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:33.440
seven o five zero six zero two
eight one three seven five zero six zero.

282
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.720
In addition to replacing my lawn,
I'm revamping a couple of flower beds

283
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.519
too. By the way, those
flower beds had one that the drainage is

284
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:48.640
just horrible in and I just installed
a subsurface drain like a French drain in

285
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.319
that bed so all the water that
runs into it, the excess runs out.

286
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.440
My next step is to take some
of the clay out, add a

287
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.640
lot of high quality composts. Yes, I actually do what I tell you

288
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.920
to do at home. It's not
a do as I say, not as

289
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.079
I do, it's a do as
I do. But anyway, I'm going

290
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.599
to revamp it. Put it in
top quality soil. And when I do

291
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.440
that, I've done the brown stuff, oh with some fertilizer, so when

292
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.359
I put the green stuff in it
will succeed. And that's the key if

293
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.960
you want success. Fix up the
soil first and then get quality plants and

294
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:29.920
they'll do really well. Nikky,
we're about to turn the magic microphone over

295
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.400
you. I'm just imagining what it
must be like to live next door to

296
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.480
you, you know, trying to
keep up with the neighbors. And well,

297
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.519
there's two things to keep in mind, and they come back against each

298
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:47.559
other. One of them is I
know a lot about plants. Number two

299
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:52.680
is the cobblers. Kids go barefoot. Have you ever heard that? Yes,

300
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.759
I'm on the radio, running around
doing things, and you've got appearances

301
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.519
everywhere. Do you have the time? They do everything you need to do.

302
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.599
I leave for two weeks and come
home and like the front yard is

303
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.920
the ma hobby desert. Yeah,
that those both work. Oh well,

304
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.359
all right, it's all yours.
Welcome back to guard Line. Did to

305
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.240
have you with us today. We've
got a lot to talk about because it

306
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:15.480
is spring and weird gardeners. That's
kind of how that works. And if

307
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.559
you're not a gardener, let's see
if we can change that. There is

308
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.079
not a better hobby out there.
It is relaxing, it is fresh air,

309
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.680
it is a chance to enjoy beauty. One of the coolest things about

310
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:33.359
gardening, as far as I'm concerned, is the gratification that comes quickly from

311
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.400
what you do. And here's what
I mean. Some of you have had

312
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.839
jobs like I have had in my
life, where you hammer away all day

313
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.200
and at the end of the day
you wonder, what actually did I accomplish

314
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.160
today? It just seems I know
it was busy all day, but I

315
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.039
don't know what I got done.
When you go home with gardening, I

316
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.839
don't care if it's weeding a flower
bed or planting some flowers. You stand

317
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.680
up after an hour of it,
thirty minutes of it, you look and

318
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.559
you see the results of your labor, and that is I find that to

319
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.839
be very encouraging. You can make
a difference, you can see the difference,

320
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.880
and that is a cool thing.
That's psychological benefits, but oh my

321
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:17.720
goodness, just being able to get
out in nature and enjoy that and make

322
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:22.240
your place more beautiful, make your
garden more bountiful. Have fresh vegetables that

323
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.559
you grew fifteen hundred miles fresher than
what you're going to buy in the store.

324
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:33.279
That is worth the price of admission
in and of itself. RCW is

325
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.440
the nursery that's up there where two
foroy nine Tambol Parkway comes into about way

326
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.160
eight, and they've got things like
herbs and perennials and shrubs and all the

327
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:47.319
kinds of things you need to transform
your landscape. One of the things that

328
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:53.960
I find just amazing is their rose
selection and rosarians. They know RCW Nursery.

329
00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:02.480
RCW has a huge selection, over
two hundred different rows varieties out there,

330
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:03.960
So think about that. Did you
know there were even two hundred.

331
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.160
Yeah, there's more than two hundred, two hundred rose varieties out there.

332
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.559
You can get from them, varieties
with every color. You can imagine not

333
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:18.240
just rosecolored roses, but every other
color that there is, and striped pedals

334
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.160
and blotched. By the way,
here's a reason to go ten percent off

335
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.359
all their roses through the rest of
March. We're getting toward the end of

336
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.960
March here, so don't delay.
They have the largest selection in Houston.

337
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.240
If you're thinking about planting a rose, RCW Nursery ten percent off all roses

338
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:42.039
through the rest of March. Their
website r CW nurseries dot com. It

339
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.440
is easy to get there. It
is easy to get what you need,

340
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.279
and they're going to have the supply. And of course the people that know

341
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:52.559
what they're talking about, they can
guide you the products you need. When

342
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.559
you're going to plant the roads,
you know, what do you do,

343
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:57.240
how do you fertilize them? What
do you put to help them get started

344
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:02.480
and rooted in and do well?
All of that at RCW Nurseries. You

345
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:07.200
can also give them a call two
eight one four four zero fifty one sixty

346
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:15.480
one two eight one four four zero
five one six one. I was talking

347
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.079
about my flower beds that I'm revamping
and putting some new things in, and

348
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:23.640
one of the steps is getting that
organic matter down into the soil. You

349
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.960
know, when you have a clay
soil, that clay is tight. It

350
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:32.759
does not allow water in very fast
at all. Typical Houston black clay without

351
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:36.240
organic matter and roots and things in
it is going to take in water at

352
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:40.119
about an eighth of an inch an
hour. An eighth of an inch an

353
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.880
hour. Now when we had organic
matter, when we have plants with roots

354
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.079
and things, that goes up a
little bit faster. But that's a slow,

355
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:51.559
slow rate. So what do you
do. You add expanded shale that

356
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.599
lasts a long time and you put
it in the soil. You got to

357
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:56.920
put a lot of it in there, several inches over the surface. Work

358
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.119
it in and that helps keep that
clay open. You add organic matter,

359
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:06.839
composted organic matter, and that helps
keep the clay open as well. And

360
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.920
that's what I'm going to do.
Well, compost it. Organic matter is

361
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:14.279
what Nature's way is all about.
They're up in Tumbole, they're up toward

362
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:17.480
Conro. You're up. If you're
going up forty five toward Conro, right

363
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:19.880
where fourteen eighty eight come in.
You just turn right, go across the

364
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:26.319
railroad tracks and you are at Nature's
way. They have a bunch of roses

365
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:29.759
that are ready to burst into bloom
out there. They have a nice little

366
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:32.640
plant nursery where you can get a
lot of natives and other kinds of things.

367
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:34.720
Right now, I want to tell
you about their leaf mold compost.

368
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:40.160
Now, leaf mol compost is the
best thing you can use for top dressing

369
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:42.680
a lawn. So when you're looking
at me, you know I was saying,

370
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.039
our lawns are thin where sunlight hits
the soil. Nature plants a weed.

371
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:51.960
Well, top dressing is just another
way that we help that. Number

372
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.599
one, it's a thin layer of
organic matter on the surface, so you

373
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.960
could call it a malts, but
it's a very fine textured, not chunky

374
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.480
stuff, not stuff you're your lawnmower
is going to kick across the you know,

375
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:08.519
across the property. This is a
very fine texture. It helps hold

376
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:15.720
water and because it's so active with
lots of microbes, it creates an environment

377
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.680
where some of the diseases like brown
patch for example, large patch when you

378
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:25.880
get into rainy April and weather like
that, we can see an increase in

379
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.400
some of our summer diseases. And
with the fine leaf more compost, you

380
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:36.839
are basically inoculating. Also, all
those plant surfaces right there at the soil

381
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.079
level with a lot of microbes,
and it just becomes a hostile environment for

382
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.839
some of the bad guys, the
disease issues we want to get away from.

383
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.680
It's a hostile environment for them to
get established in, so Nature's way,

384
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:55.279
give them a call to nine three
six three two one sixty ninety nine

385
00:27:55.319 --> 00:28:00.720
three six three two one six nine
nine zero. This a good weekend to

386
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.440
run out there today, as a
matter of fact, and get you some

387
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.359
of those kinds of products for top
dressing your lawn. They have every other

388
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:12.599
kind of composted material, from rose
soils to vegetables and anything you're going to

389
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:18.400
grow, they've got a soil for
it out there in Nature's way. You're

390
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.880
listening to Garden Line. Our phone
number is seven one three two one two

391
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.160
fifty eight seventy four seven one three
two one two five eight seven four.

392
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.359
I was in the garden. Uh
the uh, let's see is the last

393
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.759
what day was it? I think
it's on Thursday that I was most recently

394
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.799
out of my vegetable garden. And
a lot of things are are blooming around

395
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.200
the garden and I was just looking
at the bees that were working the flowers,

396
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:51.119
and it just reminds me that bees, as our pollinators, help us

397
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:56.200
have more fruitful gardens. And here's
why. Uh. And for most fruit

398
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:03.160
Uh. When a flower is pollen, the seeds that what would become a

399
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.039
seed is fertilized and it starts to
grow in the fruit and the seed releases

400
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.319
hormones that make the fruit grow.
That's why if you see a lopsided apple

401
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.880
and you cut through it, you'll
notice there's a dead seed on the side

402
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:22.039
that's not growing because seeds release those
hormones. So bees essentially make our gardens

403
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.359
not only set fruit, but have
larger, better fruit as a result.

404
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.799
The bee supply can provide you with
not only the bees to have a little

405
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:36.200
backyard high Can you imagine making your
own honey or well, I should say,

406
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.400
having bees that make honey for you. The bee supply can do that.

407
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:45.480
They have training classes going on all
the time. In fact, April

408
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.839
thirteenth. On April thirteenth, by
the way, they're doing a class today,

409
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.759
but things a little late for that
one April thirteenth, April twenty seventh.

410
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.400
In the next two classes, and
you don't have to go into bee

411
00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:59.079
keeping. Just go take the class. See if you like it. Learn

412
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:03.640
about it. This you're gonna like
it if you just want to learn about

413
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.319
bees. They have the honey tours
where you take get all kinds of honey.

414
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.440
They're in Dayton, Texas, Andy. You can go to the website

415
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:17.200
and learn more. Thebsupply dot com. Thebsupply dot Com, I love love

416
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.680
going there. I'm always amazed at
the stuff they have, but most of

417
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:23.440
all by their knowledge and listen.
They are not a say you something and

418
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.640
good luck. They you come back, you ask questions, give them a

419
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:32.880
call I'm having this problem or what
do I do? And and they absolutely

420
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.559
walk you through, step by step
the whole process. They take the time

421
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.000
because they want you to have success
with the bee supply. Hey, I

422
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:42.880
got to run for a break right
here. Our phone number is seven one

423
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:48.519
three two one two fifty eight seventy
four. I'll be right back. I

424
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.039
had said earlier that wherever sunlight hits
the soul nature plants of weed, and

425
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.319
you're probably seeing that in your launch
right now. If you look at my

426
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:59.759
schedule at gardening with skip dot com, I've got two schedules. One is

427
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.599
to take care of your lawn.
The others how to deal with all the

428
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:06.519
issues that attack your lawn. And
if you look at that, you'll see

429
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:11.400
that we're in the spring greenup season. If you want to do an early

430
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.920
greenup, you can do that with
a product that releases right away, like

431
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:22.000
for example, Nitrofoss has their Nitrofos
fifteen five to ten that contains TRIMEC in

432
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.079
it. Now, the fifteen five
to ten releases immediately. It gets the

433
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.440
nutrients faster lawn or green up.
As the weather warms, the grass grows

434
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.680
faster and faster. Saint Augustine likes
warm to hot weather, actually does very

435
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.599
well. And it's still a little
on the cool side for Saint Augustine,

436
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:42.039
but it can take up those nutrients
and it will get greener. Those cool

437
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.960
season weeds that we've been talking about, you can kill them with a product

438
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.839
that contains trimec. Or trimec is
a combination of three different herbicides. It

439
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:56.519
kills broadly f weeds. So you
wet your lawn, you put out the

440
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.720
fifteen five ten with trimac. It
sticks to the weeds because are wet.

441
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.079
You may make sure do it right
away when they're wet, it moves in

442
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.200
after a couple of days watered in. That gets a fertilizer into the soil

443
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.480
and then you're good to go.
You can take it right from there.

444
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.519
Now you can get this product at
a tascaseda Ace. Yes, they have

445
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.880
it down there Lake Hardware down in
Clute Lake Jackson they've got it down there,

446
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:24.599
and Jim's Hardware. And Montgomery has
that as well. Fifteen five town

447
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:30.920
with the trimeac that works super super
well. How many of you have backyard

448
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:37.680
chickens. I suspect a number of
you do. Backyard chickens is people love

449
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:42.359
this idea, the idea of having
you chickens run around to get fresh eggs.

450
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.279
I mean you talk about fresh,
we're talking about right out of the

451
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.640
chicken fresh eggs. Well, you
can do that. And one of the

452
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:52.640
best places to get baby chicks is
D and D feed up in Tomball.

453
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.319
And here's why they get them in
all the time. They just got a

454
00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.720
shipmente in just the other day,
just the other day, and the next

455
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:06.640
shipment is coming in on next Thursday, the twenty eighth, and then next

456
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:12.799
Friday. Even more Now you probably
have heard of one or two types of

457
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.559
chickens. But let me just give
you an idea what you're going to find

458
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.000
at D and D feed By the
way, D and D feed up in

459
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:22.640
Tumble. Their phone number is two
eight one three five one seventy one forty

460
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.480
four and they're on twenty nine to
twenty west outside of Tumble. Have you

461
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:30.319
ever heard of an easter egger,
an olive egger, A buckeye, a

462
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.799
blue plymouth, a lavender orpington,
a golden wyand dot, a silver wyand

463
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.799
dot, a blue red wyand dot, A Brahma chicken. I thought that

464
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:44.799
was a cow, blue Andalusian,
Sicilian buttercup, black copper, Moran,

465
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:52.319
Creole, Pendessenca. I don't even
know, say the silver favol Have you

466
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.440
ever even heard of those? Will
go to D and D and you'll see

467
00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:00.000
them all and they got the feed
and everything else you need to take off

468
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:04.359
success. It's chicken city a D
and D. It's throw all the chicks

469
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.199
hanging out. Okay, oh my
gosh, that was that was unnecessary.

470
00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:12.920
We're gonna go to Jersey Village and
talk to George. Good morning, George,

471
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:15.519
Yeah, good morning. Skip.
That gentleman that talks you about is

472
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.519
Meyer limit well, I got the
same problem. I just got one from

473
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.800
from Plants for All Seasons and it's
got about tony lemons on it, and

474
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:27.119
I don't know, I know when
it's old enough to put the lembos on

475
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.840
there. That's first question. Yeah, And second question is do I do

476
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.920
the same thing? Tomato plants good? That's good. So let's take the

477
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.840
first one. If you can pull
them off for the two first two years,

478
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.960
that's good. Some people go a
little longer or not. But if

479
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:45.679
you at least the first two years, because those first two years, your

480
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.239
job is to make as big of
a tree as you can to hang lemons

481
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.280
on that, that's what you're working
on. You're giving it, you're giving

482
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.639
it fertilizer, you're giving it water
so it never holds back. You're mulching

483
00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.679
around it to keep the weeds away. And that that would be I suggestion

484
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.719
on the lemon. You can enjoy
the blooms and the fragrance, just don't

485
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.920
let them try to develop fruit.
Tomatoes are not that way so much.

486
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:15.199
You're tomatoes will set some early fruit. But whether you're using a staking system

487
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:21.679
or a caging system, that plant
is not a we're not talking about a

488
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:24.679
tree that lives years and years.
We're talking about a plant that comes up,

489
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:29.599
produces its fruit, and it's done, so there's no need to remove

490
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:36.320
early tomatoes. They're determinates. Well
there's still number. Yes, they'll produce

491
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:40.039
over a longer time, but in
our heat here even the endeterminates. If

492
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:45.519
they're slicer type tomatoes, they tend
to not set for very long once it

493
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:52.639
starts to heat up. Okay,
thank you, all right, George going

494
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:59.239
to kill me well for taking a
lemon off the tree. All right,

495
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.840
Well, don't no one else to
say, George. Yeah, I'm not

496
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:05.760
gonna I'm not going to wade into
the middle of that one, but I

497
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:09.679
understand. All right, love your
program, Thank you, sir, appreciate

498
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.480
that call a lot. Hey,
what was the last time you had plants

499
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.760
for all seasons? You know,
plinch fall seasons is the first of all.

500
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:22.800
Where are they They're right at Luetta
and Tomboll Parkway. If you if

501
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.199
you're heading let's say you're going north
for Tomball on two forty nine Tomboll Parkway,

502
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.480
you exit Luetta, cross over Luetta
and they're right there. I mean,

503
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:36.480
it's just within a block of Luetta
going North. They have every kind

504
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:39.519
of plant you can imagine. They're
gonna have all of the exciting new stuff,

505
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:43.400
they're gonna have all the dependable stuff, and they're gonna have people that

506
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.679
can direct you the right thing.
You can take them a plant sample and

507
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.760
a ziplock bag. What is this? What's wrong with this? Take them

508
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.400
a picture. My neighbor's got these
flowers last year. I want them?

509
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:54.960
What are they? How do I
get you? They'll set you up,

510
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.960
they'll do that. Planch fell Season's
knowledgeable staff. Look, they've been doing

511
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.320
this since nineteen seventy three. I
think they may know a thing or two

512
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:07.280
about gardening. They are true lawn
and garden experts. You can go to

513
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:13.679
the website Plants for All Seasons dot
com. That's one way you can give

514
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:17.920
them a call two eight one three
seven six sixteen forty six two eight one

515
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.280
three seven six one six four six
and Plants for All Seasons. You can

516
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:29.159
get things there, your vegetables,
and they have an excellent selection of seeds

517
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.519
too, big old wall of seed. Packets and seeds are kind of fun

518
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:35.880
because it's fun to grow your own
plants. Plus, with seeds you have

519
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.679
a wide variety of options. You
know, and any garden center is going

520
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:44.199
to have X number of varieties of
whatever. With seeds, you just open

521
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:47.440
that up a little more and grow
some things that aren't commonly available as transplants.

522
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:57.199
Another good reason to want to do
that the folks there the knowledge and

523
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:01.199
the experience that that alone is worth
the ADMISSI that's worth going for sure.

524
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:07.199
So I'll tell you about my lawn
and about my flower beds and things I'm

525
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:13.639
taking care of and doing. I
have a neighbor who has a lawn that

526
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.199
well, let's just say there are
a few weeds in it because it got

527
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:22.519
them last year. Now, when
I look from a distance, it looks

528
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:24.480
pretty and green. When you get
up close, it's like, oh my

529
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:30.519
gosh. It is probably eight hundred
thousand different varieties of plants, all ninety

530
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:34.119
zero point nine percent of them being
weeds. And so what do you do

531
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.039
at this stage? Well, one
thing you can do is put out turf

532
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:43.719
Star Wheedonator. Turf Star Weedenator is
by Nelson Plant Food, and Nelson's been

533
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:47.800
making quality fertilizer for a long time. Weedenator is a product that has a

534
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:52.400
slow release nitrogen in it, so
when you put it out. It's not

535
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:57.639
your spring green up fertilizer. It
is a fertilizer for feeding over the next

536
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.039
two or three months, at least
two months, more like three months out

537
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:06.320
in your lawn. But it has
this post emergent weed control product in it.

538
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:10.119
So again, wet the leaves of
the weeds so that the product sticks

539
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.639
to the weeds. You don't have
the water your lawn and wet the soil.

540
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:19.760
Just get the weeds leaves wet,
put out turch star weed and need

541
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.239
a right away. It sticks to
the leaves, it soaks in, it

542
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.000
kills those weeds after about a day
or two, just go ahead and water

543
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.159
it. Then to move it down
into the soil. You don't need to

544
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.360
put an inch rain on, just
a third of an inch, half an

545
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:36.000
inch, whatever, just to get
it down into the soil. And that's

546
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:40.679
where it will begin to unlock the
nutrients that are in the product. Microbes

547
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:46.159
are involved in some parts of this
helping release those nutrients so that over time

548
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:51.360
your grass is being fed gradually.
And how does grass, if I can

549
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.280
use the word eat, grass eats
like you eat a little bit every day,

550
00:39:54.559 --> 00:40:00.559
oh every day through weeks. Well, you want a fertilizer that'll feed

551
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:06.599
gradually over time. Urch starweed neater
has got that kind of fertilizer inside of

552
00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:13.800
it. It does really well out
there. If you are looking at a

553
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:17.719
landscape that really needs some help,
you know, it's spring, everything should

554
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:22.679
be looking great, and you're looking
at it and going, oh my gosh,

555
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:25.159
I've got die back on some plants. It needs pruning. I need

556
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:29.159
to move some stuff around. I
want to plant some flowers and things.

557
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:34.119
Skip keeps saying brown stuff before green
stuff. I needed brown stuff my landscape

558
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:38.639
beds so that I can have success
any plants and produce up in Montgomery number

559
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:40.719
one, they got all the plants
you need for that. But they also

560
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:44.880
have a landscape crew. So if
you are listening and you live up around

561
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.159
Lake Conroe, which is just down
the street from them, they can come

562
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:52.960
out their landscape crew and they can
just totally revent your place. I mean

563
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.320
they can. Those flower beds that
are can become Wow. They can do

564
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:00.760
that. They have the ability to
come out and really turn things around.

565
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:05.039
They got my lawn care schedule typically
at the counter there if they haven't given

566
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.239
them all out. If I talk
about a fertilizer, if I talk about

567
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.039
them, they're going to have them
there at Ana Plants. If we talk

568
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:16.239
about composts, and you know saying
leaf mold composts, while well, they've

569
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:22.239
got that at Nature's I mean Nature's
at A and A Plants and Produce.

570
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:27.119
They have the heirloom soils, they
have the Nature's Way, They've got microlife

571
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:30.000
and Nelson and nitroposs. It's a
great place to go, one stop shop

572
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:35.239
and get it all done. And
they're just on the east side of Montgomery.

573
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.559
So if you're in Montgomery heading toward
light Conroe or toward Conro on one

574
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.840
oh five, they're on the left
on the north side of the road and

575
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:46.719
just on the edge of town.
I was like stopping by there. The

576
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:50.960
bling, Oh that's another reason to
go. I forgot to say that.

577
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:55.679
The bling that they have for your
landscape, chimineas and little structures, trellises

578
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.000
to grow things on, and yard
art. You gotta have a yard art

579
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.719
and they hit your seven. I
want to remind you today I'm going to

580
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:09.199
be at the sci Fair Home and
Outdoor Living Show. I'll be there from

581
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:14.840
twelve to two now. The show's
going on today ten am. Starts right

582
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:20.079
after garden Line goes till six pm
today tomorrow from eleven to five pm at

583
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:24.840

on Barker Cypress Road. They or they

584
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:28.840
have listened to this. It costs
me nothing to park, It costs me

585
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:30.079
nothing to give you. What do
you got to lose? Come by and

586
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.119
see me, bring me some plants, some pictures, let's meet, let's

I know that's impossible. You can steal

595
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:39.519
garden inside. You can start seeds
for transplants. You can take out of

596
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:44.800
your houseplants, you can repot,
you can do propagating a plant. Every

597
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:46.400
day is a good day for it
don't matter what's going on, Well,

598
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:51.079
today happens to be a good day
outside and that is fun. That's what

599
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:54.400
we need for spring. I love
it when we have sunny weekends in the

600
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:58.199
spring. It's got a rain.
Get it done during the week. I

601
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:00.679
got things to do outside, and
I have been known to work on the

602
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:07.559
garden in the rain too. Uh. Let's see what is uh Doctor Doolittle.

603
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:10.840
Remember that that show, Doctor Doolittle. One of the songs was if

604
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.719
the lyrics if you remain out in
the rain, you'll think you're drinking pink

605
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:20.840
champagne and you will spend your life
praying for thunderstorms. I don't know where

606
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.480
that came from, but somebody wrote
that. Hey, if you want to

607
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:29.440
give us a call seven one three
two one two fifty eight seventy four seven

608
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:35.239
one three two one two five eight
seven four. Uh. When when I

609
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.719
think of a place, like if
someone goes, where can I get and

610
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.639
then fill in the blank, you
know, where can I get this specific

611
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.320
uh insecticider, this specific herbicide er
fung asider? Where can I get a

612
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:51.800
good quality you know, a set
of printers or saw or whatever it is,

613
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:54.960
anything like that South was Fertilizer is
the first thing that comes to mind,

614
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:59.440
because Southwest has everything. In fact, if they don't have it,

615
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:01.360
you don't need. That's how I
like to put it, because that is

616
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:06.360
true. I cannot think of anything
I need for the garden care and whatnot.

617
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:08.559
Then Southwest has. They even have
a little shop in the back.

618
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:13.039
You know you need to get a
little bit of engine repairs or do you

619
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:15.599
need to purchase you know, some
kind of a power equipment. They've got

620
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:20.000
it all. They've got it all
out there. Southwest Fertilizers. On the

621
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:23.679
corner are Businet and Runwick and it's
really easy to get to south West Houston.

622
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:29.119
Of course, the website. You
know, there's a lot of ways

623
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:32.000
to go about talking about Southwest.
One is, look, just go buy

624
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:37.320
there and see you'll see what I'm
talking about. If you hear me recommend

625
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.119
anything, they have it there.
But if you want to just go to

626
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:44.880
the website Southwest Fertilizer dot com.
You can find phone numbers, you can

627
00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:50.360
find where it's located in all of
that corner of Businet and Runwick Southwest Fertilizer.

628
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:52.960
But I can tell you this,
We've been talking all day about you

629
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:57.039
need to put on this, you
need to put on that, you need

630
00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:59.599
to take care of the soil,
you need you know, they even have

631
00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:05.280
a few little section as you come
in of vegetables, flowers, some nice

632
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:09.199
little plants there. That just another
reason to stop in at Southwest Fertilizer.

633
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:14.840
But if you have a plant problem, take a sample or take a photo,

634
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:20.039
a good sharp focused photo and take
it in and let Bob or Aaron

635
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:22.639
or one of the staff there take
a look at it and they would be

636
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:24.880
able to identify it and tell you
what to do about it. That is

637
00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:34.760
important. A lot of product and
money gets wasted because people use the wrong

638
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:39.159
product for a particular problem, or
maybe they were trying to spray something that

639
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:44.480
shouldn't be sprayed. You know.
Can you imagine coming in and here's a

640
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:45.719
picture of a lady beetle? What
do I kill it with? Well,

641
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:49.880
a, you don't kill it.
That's a good thing to have around.

642
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.360
So you need to know what you're
talking about and when you can depend on

643
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:57.400
someone like Southwest, that in and
of itself, as we say, it's

644
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:01.480
worth the price of admission because it
is very very valuable. Gardening is a

645
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:10.480
learning process. It's a constant learning
process. Thomas Jefferson was well known as

646
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:16.559
someone who enjoyed agriculture and gardening and
things like that, and he said,

647
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.960
although I am an old man,
I am a young gardener. That's one

648
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:24.519
way he put it, because gardening
keeps you young, and it's always a

649
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:30.199
learning you always learn. I learned
something. I've been doing this for over

650
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:35.559
almost four decades now, actually gardening
over four decades. But I still learn

651
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:39.199
something every single day. There's always
something new out there to learn. Hey,

652
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:43.559
let's head out to South Houston and
we're going to talk to Parker.

653
00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:47.159
Hello Parker, good morning, skimp. I'm good. Here are you today?

654
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:52.039
Well, I got a little project. I've taken some cuttings off of

655
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:58.280
a seventy year old rose actually rosebush, two of them, and I want

656
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:07.360
to remove the whole cane and transplant
it. Is that possible? You?

657
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.039
You took cuttings off of the rows, and you're wanting to cut the bush

658
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:15.079
back and then transplant it. Yeah, I'm gonna cut the bush completely back,

659
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:16.880
dig it up, and move it. Yeah, don't Well why I

660
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:21.840
wouldn't cut it completely back? Maybe
even if you just leave like two feet

661
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:25.199
of it or are you concerned about
the thorns and stuff or what. Yeah,

662
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:29.400
yeah, it's it's it's it's it's
covered with thorns. I mean it's

663
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:32.679
yeah there everywhere. Well, you
know, you could you could trim up

664
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:36.280
all the low stuff so you don't
have to work around it. I'll tell

665
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:40.079
you one thing I've done for mine
before is to get some twine and cut

666
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:43.920
away all the low hanging ones that
you you know are going to be in

667
00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:45.840
the way when you're trying to move
it and plant and dig it. Uh.

668
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:52.039
And with the twine go around the
bush and pull it and pull all

669
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:55.760
the canes up where they they're all
pointing straight up and they're all together.

670
00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.639
That way, it's easy to work
around it without losing blood. Yeah,

671
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:04.760
and yeah, I've done that before
too. It makes it really easy to

672
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:09.360
move a skip it. It's it's
been cut back every year, you know,

673
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:14.159
dramatically, you know. And it's
it's probably a stump, I say

674
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:17.519
a stump. It probably sticks up
maybe a foot off the ground, and

675
00:49:17.559 --> 00:49:21.639
then the canes pop up of course, like you just said, but the

676
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:28.480
main canes of this plant are probably
an inch inch and a quarter in diameter.

677
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:30.800
Oh wow, that's an old bush. Well, yeah, there are

678
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:35.239
seventy years old. Probably. Okay, well, you can cut it back.

679
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:37.519
I'm just saying, you know,
if you leave it a few leaves,

680
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:40.599
it's a little less of a shock
to it when you Okay, are

681
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:45.800
you going to plant it right away
after digging it? Maybe same day?

682
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.000
Yes, yeah, that's good.
Then watered in really good. Yeah,

683
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:52.960
you can do that if I might. After digging it, I might,

684
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:55.360
you know, put a little lace
something over the top, just to give

685
00:49:55.400 --> 00:50:00.519
it a little bit of a break
from the sun. It is stablishes,

686
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:01.800
but it's gonna be fine. It's
not the best time in the world to

687
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.679
move a plant, but it definitely
isn't the worst either. That would be

688
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:08.239
well, that's the only time I
had before the building is the buildings are

689
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:12.039
demolished, So yes, go for
it. Yeah, go for it.

690
00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.920
Keep it moist, just keep the
soule moist without keeping it soggy. And

691
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:20.960
the cuttings the same way I've got. I'll probably have ten or twelve cuttings

692
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:24.320
all plant. Yeah. I would
well on the cutting too, that's a

693
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:28.639
whole nother question. And there's a
lot of good information online on how to

694
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:31.320
rose cuttings, and I would just
look that up and follow it because it's

695
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:34.800
gonna be a lot of details to
what you want to have ten or twelve

696
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:37.039
and hope I get one or two. That's the way you do it.

697
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:38.800
That's a weak got it man.
Thank you, Skip, Thank you Parker.

698
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:43.000
I appreciate your call. We're going
to take a break here our phone

699
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:46.599
number seven one three two one two
k t rh hell. You'll be first

700
00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:52.000
up when we come back. Welcome
back to the garden Line. Glad to

701
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.559
have you with us today. Hey, if you're interested in gardening, I

702
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:59.880
think you probably are interested for a
number of reasons. Number one, you

703
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:04.639
like things that are pretty. Maybe
food. You want to have fresh food.

704
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.760
You grew yourself. You know what
was sprayed on the food, you

705
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:10.800
know how it was handled. Maybe
it is for the fresh air and for

706
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:15.000
the exercise. But I tell you
a reason that ought to be on the

707
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:22.079
list, and that is because of
nature out there and wildlife like birds.

708
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.719
For example, I took a bird
feeder off of my stand. I've got

709
00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:30.480
one of the wabirds unlimited squirrel excluding
feeders, which by the way, are

710
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:37.119
amazing. They work well, and
I took it up the stand because I'm

711
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:38.960
redoing the lawn, and so I
had to pull the thing up and set

712
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:43.639
it aside, and I set the
feeder on a barbecue pit by a window

713
00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:45.880
on the back of my house,
and I just was getting it out of

714
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:50.159
the way. And yesterday morning I
was looking out the window and there's a

715
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:52.559
little bird come in and found the
feeder over up against the house there on

716
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:57.440
top of the barbecue pit, and
it was still going at it. Wibirds

717
00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:01.320
can help you have a wonderland for
birds. I'm talking about the music of

718
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:06.199
birds, Oh my gosh, so
nice first thing in the morning. I'm

719
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:09.000
talking about the beauty of birds,
just watching them come in, and the

720
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:13.440
benefits of birds. You birds eat
a lot of insects, and right now

721
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:19.360
they're raising young and nests and need
high protein food, high protein, high

722
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:23.000
fat food. For those birds nesting, super blend from wildbirds feeds them.

723
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:28.159
That's what mine are eating right now, nesting super blend. It's got sunflower,

724
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:32.760
peanuts, dried meal worms. That
is, caterpillars are important food.

725
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:36.679
And those birds, by the way, are in your landscape taking caterpillars to

726
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:40.239
feed their young. It's got tree
nuts, that flower bark, butter bits.

727
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:45.599
It's a high quality feed every food
from wildbirds. When you buy a

728
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.840
pound of food, you get a
pound of bird food. You don't get

729
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:53.119
a pound of birds scattered red bebes
all over the ground. You get your

730
00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:57.760
dollar's worth when you buy wilbirds food. That's how that works. There's a

731
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:00.800
bunch of wildbirds, store six of
them all over the gray house scenario.

732
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:06.079
You can go to WBU dot com
forward slash Houston. Remember the hummingbirds are

733
00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:10.480
coming through right now. We got
the ruby throated hummingbirds at this time as

734
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:14.880
they're passing through, going to be
heading the north pretty soon. Get your

735
00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:16.840
bird feeders out. If you don't
have one, go buy wilberds. Get

736
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:22.920
you a hummingbird feeder. Another really
enjoyable part of gardening. I want to

737
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.280
go now to Pearland and we're going
to talk to al Hal. Excuse me,

738
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:29.440
how are you doing? Hell?
Hey, good morning, Skip doing

739
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:34.320
just fine yourself. I'm well,
thank you. Listen. I just had

740
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:38.159
a question about a couple of trees. One I'm pretty sure of the redbud

741
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:45.400
as far as being suitable for our
area and using that and also an olive

742
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:51.800
tree. I can't remember the variety, but it starts with an a okay,

743
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:57.440
all right, and just whether or
not that would be worth worthwhile in

744
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.639
this area. Yeah, Arbikinya is
probably the variety. It's one of the

745
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:07.480
most common olives sold around here.
Olives. Olives are fine, they do

746
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:15.000
well. The olives there there.
I guess achilles heel is. When we

747
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:20.239
have really cold weather, it can
kill them back and they'll it'll kill them

748
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:23.679
back to the ground and they re
sprout out more as a bush typically.

749
00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:29.360
But you're far enough south down there
in Paarland where I don't know, maybe

750
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:34.840
a little protection on a really really
bad cold night forecast would be fine.

751
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:37.760
But our Bikinia is a good olive
and it's the one that most people plant

752
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.360
in your area. Red buds are
fine too. Red buds. There are

753
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:45.119
several types of red buds. The
one you see everywhere in people's yards is

754
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:51.199
the Eastern red bud. It has
a dull leaf, not glossy, very

755
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:55.239
soft leaf. There is a Texas
red bud that has a stiffer think about

756
00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:59.679
it as a more leathery leaf with
a little gloss to it, and are

757
00:54:59.840 --> 00:55:02.440
und underleaf. That little tip at
the bottom that makes a red bud leaf

758
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:07.360
look like a heart shape is less
prominent, and Texas red bud is even

759
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:15.119
tougher. I've seen those out west
of Austin in poor soil in the full

760
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:17.760
sun, and they do well.
The eastern red bud, you need to

761
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:22.360
give it preferably a little late day
shade. They kind of like being a

762
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:27.679
semi understory plant, but a little
morning sun is where they do best.

763
00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:30.639
So either way you're not going to
go wrong. They will do well.

764
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:38.360
Okay. As far as planting these, do you recommend mixing any material in

765
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:45.519
with the soil as you plant the
tree. Only if you're going to mix

766
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:49.239
it into a large area. Don't
dig a hole and put compost in it.

767
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:55.280
Instead, put three inches of compost
over as large of an area as

768
00:55:55.360 --> 00:56:01.400
you can mix it in, and
then dig the hole into the blended soil

769
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:07.320
and use the blended soil back as
you refill the hole that you don't that

770
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:09.400
that would be the way to go. Not as important with olives, but

771
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:14.320
it would be helpful with the olives
as well, but especially the red buds.

772
00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:17.159
They're a forest. They want a
forest floor environment, and that's kind

773
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:21.480
of what you're creating by putting all
that compost in the soil. Oh.

774
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.360
Okay, all right, all right, sir, well appreciate them, Thank

775
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:27.800
you, all right, and you're
fortunate, you know, by the way,

776
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.559
you got Verdant Tree Farm down the
street there down in Caroland on Broadway.

777
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:37.280
That's for it. I'm going go
ahead, good well, that you're

778
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:39.239
doing the right thing. That they
have a lot of good quality, good

779
00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:45.719
quality material. So thanks for the
all right, thank you sir, all

780
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:51.079
right bye. For anybody that isn't
familiar with Verdant, their website is Verdant

781
00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:54.480
a v E R d A n
T. Verden means Green, Verdant Treefarm

782
00:56:54.559 --> 00:57:00.480
dot com Verden Treefarm dot com.
They've got a place. They got a

783
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:04.199
store down in Paarland on Broadway Street, just a few blocks away from Killing

784
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:08.679
Steakhouse. There's also one up in
the Heights where Yale and I ten come

785
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:13.360
together, and one out in West
Eastern on Barker Cypress. And they have

786
00:57:13.400 --> 00:57:16.800
every size. I mean, they're
known for their palms too. They excellent

787
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:21.519
selection of palms, but every other
kind of tree and large shrub you can

788
00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:23.639
imagine. The cool thing is you
just show up, you walk through,

789
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:28.320
and you pick out the tree you
want, and then they tag it and

790
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:30.519
they bring it and they plant it
and they do it right. And when

791
00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:34.360
they plant it, they do it
right, and that gives you the best

792
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:39.639
chance of success with your trees.
And so it's good to so it's good

793
00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:45.400
to find places that have quality plants
in quality service because that's what we need.

794
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:50.159
We kind of we're real careful about
the sponsors we bring on on guard

795
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:53.440
Line. There are sponsors I won't
have on guarden Line and don't need to

796
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:58.679
name them, but companies that I'm
not confident in their work. And so

797
00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:04.039
we try to say with people who
either I've used the product before. Every

798
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:07.159
time you hear me talk about a
fertilizer or a soil, I've used it,

799
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:08.639
I've tried it out, I've grun
things in it. I know what

800
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:13.480
it does and I know that it
works. But when it comes to garden

801
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:15.599
centers, I've been there, I've
seen the work that they do. When

802
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:21.199
it comes to services, I've met
with the people and I question ask them

803
00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:24.519
the important questions to make sure what
we're dealing with here is somebody that's going

804
00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:30.360
to give you good service. That
is very very important to me because I

805
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.880
want when you hear me say something
on Guardland, I'm putting my reputation behind

806
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:38.880
it, and I definitely don't want
that to go south. I want you

807
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:44.000
to have a good success and be
very happy with the results that you got.

808
00:58:44.360 --> 00:58:47.400
That that's important to me. You
know, we talked about spring green

809
00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:52.119
up and that is the season we're
still in now. We're still in spring

810
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.880
green up if you want to do
that, but we're kind of moving in

811
00:58:54.920 --> 00:59:00.320
to the summer season as well.
Summer we don't recommend and a fast release

812
00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:07.960
fertilizer through the summer. We're recommending
slow release fertilizers like Nitrofoss Superturf. That's

813
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:15.320
Nitrofoss's silver bag Superturf and Superturf.
It's like a nineteen four to ten ratio

814
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:20.280
of nutrients that's packed with nutrients.
Fifty percent of the nitrogen in it is

815
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:24.320
slow release. It also has iron
to promote uniform grass growth and really good

816
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:28.239
color. If you look in your
yard and you see some areas that are

817
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:31.320
kind of yellow eye right now,
that's a lack of iron and super turf

818
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:36.559
can help provide that we typically see
that aren't efficiency, especially in the spring,

819
00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:39.920
a little bit cooler soil, a
little bit rainier conditions. Grass is

820
00:59:39.960 --> 00:59:46.079
trying to get started Superturf nineteen four
ten. It will carry you on through

821
00:59:46.599 --> 00:59:52.920
two or three months of release and
good results from that. You can find

822
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:58.039
it at Kingwood Ace Hardware. Think
Kingwood and Ace Hardware. They're going to

823
00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:00.840
have it. If you are down
Genoa, Red Bluff kind of south and

824
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:05.880
east part of Houston, Shades of
Texas is going to have the super turf

825
01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:08.400
product there as well. It's not
difficult to find. Go up to the

826
01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:14.559
Arburgate and Tomball you're going to find
super Turf there also. I want to

827
01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:17.320
go out now to Cleveland, Texas, and we're going to talk to Ron.

828
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:23.119
Hello, Ron Coim on a scap. Hey, I got an avocado

829
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:28.880
that's about three years old. It
produced like one real small avocado last year.

830
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:34.519
It's about eight foot paul and a
ten gallon pot. How do I

831
01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:37.639
know when it's starting to get root
bound and that I might need to transplant

832
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:42.280
to a bigger pot. It is
root bound. An eight foot plant or

833
01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:45.559
ten gallon pond is rootbound. So
you want to pull it out. If

834
01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:51.199
you've got a lot of just the
outside of just white roots and circles,

835
01:00:51.559 --> 01:00:53.280
you can cut some of those.
It'll be okay. Yeah, to do

836
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:57.119
that, and go ahead and cut
them and put them in the new pot,

837
01:00:57.719 --> 01:01:00.719
and it will establish much better.
If you got a little dolly or

838
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:07.360
something, you move the handtruck,
move right, moving into it. Yeah,

839
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:08.639
moving into a semi shade for a
little while. If you cut a

840
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:12.599
lot of roots, just give it
a give it about two or three weeks

841
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:15.519
to start getting new roots will begin
growing within a couple of weeks for sure.

842
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:20.199
Uh. And and that is what
I would do for it, all

843
01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:24.239
right. I'm thinking like a whiskey
barrel size yes, uh from listening,

844
01:01:24.360 --> 01:01:29.719
ten gallons if you if you could
go up to twenty five gallons, that

845
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.000
would be good. Don't don't put
it in a whiskey barrel because those right

846
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:37.639
out too fast. Oh yeah,
yeah, but something that like you said

847
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:40.440
that size, yes, okay,
twenty five gall or so all right,

848
01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:45.360
appreciate it, Thank you, and
I'll bring you half the fruit that is

849
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:49.440
required. I'm glad the listeners are
starting to figure that out. I don't

850
01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:52.039
have I can't grow and avocado at
my house, so I need you to

851
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:55.119
help help out with that, all
right, you bet, all right?

852
01:01:55.159 --> 01:01:58.679
Thank you have fun out there in
Cleveland, Ron. Thanks for the call.

853
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:07.320
You by bye. That is funny. It is avocado. Oh gosh,

854
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:09.320
they are so good. I mean
that that's kind of like the hot

855
01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:13.199
item and fruit right now. It's
been for a while. You know,

856
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:19.639
people that love avocados, avocado sandwiches, you know, the slices on them

857
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:24.800
in salads. I don't know.
I'm pretty sure that guacamole may just be

858
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:30.840
one of the best food foods things
that there is. I love wacamole,

859
01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:38.199
and you gotta have avocados to make
a good quality wakamoly. Have you been

860
01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:42.519
up to the Anti rosen Porium this
spring? Some of you came out to

861
01:02:42.519 --> 01:02:45.079
see me when I was out there
talking just a while back. Anti crozen

862
01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:51.639
Porium is it's just I would say
stunning is a good way to put it.

863
01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:53.920
You know, they've had the rain
that's coming in and the gardens that

864
01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:57.800
they have, they have a lot
of display gardens. They look beautiful,

865
01:02:58.079 --> 01:03:00.679
absolutely beautiful. That's what's a fun
place to go to. I mean,

866
01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:05.119
even if you weren't buying plants,
it'd be worth going out there just to

867
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:08.400
look at it. The roses are
starting to bust out, and boy did

868
01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:15.000
they have displays of roses. The
color unbelievable. Hey, on March twenty

869
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:19.320
third, which guess what day is
today, they're having a ladybug release for

870
01:03:19.400 --> 01:03:23.800
kiddos at four pm today, four
pm out there ladybug whose kids will get

871
01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:29.400
to kind of learn about ladybugs and
release them out there on March thirtieth.

872
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:32.559
Next Saturday is the Easter egg hunt
in the gardens. It starts at eleven

873
01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:37.679
fifteen and it's broken down by aid
group. I don't like that. I

874
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:42.119
liked competing against the little ones because
I can outrun them, you know,

875
01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:45.159
But anyway they break them down by
age group. Hey, you know,

876
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:50.400
they're the place for anti croses,
just so many. But they're also the

877
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:54.079
place for perennials, ornamental grasses,
lots and lots of kinds of plants,

878
01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:59.000
and the blue bonnets are blooming.
They're waiting for you. Here's your idea

879
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:02.719
for some to do this afternoon or
tomorrow afternoon. Run out to the antiq

880
01:04:02.840 --> 01:04:06.599
rosen Porum and brun them. Maybe
grab some bluebell while you're on the way

881
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:12.480
out there. Isn't it amazing that
ladybugs fascinate us? They do. They

882
01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:15.599
are very fascinating. Absolutely Well,
Nikki, I'm gonna turn the mic over

883
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:18.599
to you. I think you got
some news. I got it. Welcome

884
01:04:18.599 --> 01:04:23.679
back to the garden line. The
sun is glowing on the horizon. We

885
01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:27.400
are look at that sky. It
is wide open, going to be a

886
01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:30.079
beautiful blue sky today. Good day
for gardening, Good day to get out

887
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:34.239
and get some things done in the
garden. I've been talking about fertilizing and

888
01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:40.960
the importance of making sure your plants
have adequate nutrition. When it comes to

889
01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:44.840
the lawns. We on my schedule
we have the spring green up, which

890
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:48.639
is an early fertilization, and then
we have the ongoing fertilization through the summer.

891
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:53.079
And when you look at a fertilizer
bag, you see three numbers.

892
01:04:53.480 --> 01:05:00.880
They are always the same three macro
nutrients and the same order nitrogen, phosphorus,

893
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:04.559
potassium. So when you take a
fertilizer like Microlife, for example,

894
01:05:04.599 --> 01:05:10.440
the green bag six two four six
percent nitrogen, two percent phosphorus, four

895
01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:15.320
percent potassium. But what it doesn't
tell you in the bag or the minor

896
01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:20.000
nucrients, the trace minerals that are
out there. And with Microlife you get

897
01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:27.599
over seventy different compounds including nutrients and
minerals, all all of this in one

898
01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:32.599
bag and plus billions and billions of
the beneficial microbes that are part of how

899
01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:40.719
our plants rive. It's what makes
plants, roots systems succeed. Microbes and

900
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:45.960
roots grow in a close association with
each other. And the soil needs to

901
01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:49.079
have a good drainage. It needs
to be moist, it needs to be

902
01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:55.880
well aerated, which good drainage allows
good aeration, and that is exactly what

903
01:05:55.960 --> 01:06:00.519
causes your plants to thrive, in
this case, your lawn grass plants.

904
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:05.400
So Microlife fertilizers are going to give
you everything that was in the plant material

905
01:06:05.639 --> 01:06:10.159
that went in to make it in
the first place. It's an organic fertilizer.

906
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:15.639
So when you're doing your spring lawn
fertilization with Microlife, just know that

907
01:06:15.679 --> 01:06:19.239
you're putting out more than sixty four. You're putting out a lot more.

908
01:06:19.719 --> 01:06:26.400
You also should consider doing the purple
bag. That is the humates plus humts

909
01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:30.480
are concentrated compost. It's when you
you know, you start with leaves and

910
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:32.480
grass clippings, you end up a
compost. You keep going, you end

911
01:06:32.559 --> 01:06:38.960
up with humus the final stage,
and that final stage helps bilsoil structure over

912
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:44.119
time as you apply that it again, is another thing that's helpful for microbial

913
01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:48.000
activity in the soil, and that's
the purple bag humates plus. So I

914
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:53.039
say consider them as a tandem,
the green bag the purple bag. Put

915
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:57.440
them together. Do your spring fertilization, and we can also be doing some

916
01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:00.000
in the summer with this. But
with Microlife. If you're going to have

917
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:03.280
that kind of additional benefit that I
was just talking about, you can go

946
01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:28.239
very important. You're listening to Garden
Line our phone number seven one three

two one two five eight seven four
seven one three two one two fifty eight

948
01:09:34.039 --> 01:09:40.239
seventy four. Are you wanting to
do some containers this year? Maybe color,

949
01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:44.199
maybe vegetables, maybe herbs, And
you should be wanting to do containers.

950
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:48.399
And here's why containers are versatile.
Maybe your spot is a little shady

951
01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:54.000
for a vegetable garden. With containers, you can just put the container where

952
01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:58.720
there is the amount of sunlight that
that plant wants. Maybe you want instant

953
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:00.960
color. Maybe you want to go
out front where you redn't have room for

954
01:10:01.000 --> 01:10:04.479
a flower bed or something, but
you want some color coming down the front

955
01:10:04.479 --> 01:10:08.640
walk or coming up the steps,
so on the front porch or back patio.

956
01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:13.119
Containers do all of that. And
jungle Land is a product distributed by

957
01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:17.880
Nitrofoss that is made for container culture. They've got the jungle Land flour and

958
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:23.720
vegetable planting soil, which is good
for as it says, flowers and vegetables.

959
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:26.319
Go ahead and throw herbs in there. It's great for herbs as well.

960
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:30.960
Then their indoor jungle land is called
water saving potting soil because it has

961
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:33.319
these low crystals and whole moisture.
So if you get to water, the

962
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:39.159
roots have a source of a little
extra moisture carrying them forward further than they

963
01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:44.279
would otherwise be able to do.
Now you're going to find nitrofoss products wide

964
01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:47.560
variety, lots of different places,
easy to They're all over town. That's

965
01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:51.319
I just should say they're all over
town. But katie As Hardware for example,

966
01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:56.439
Ace Hardware City done in Memorial,
a Memorial Drive, those have it,

967
01:10:56.560 --> 01:11:00.720
Stanton Shopping Center down in a Alven. They've got the nitrofoss products down

968
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:02.880
there, easy to find them.
In jungle land will allow you to have

969
01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:06.039
that success. You want good drainage, but you want it to hold water.

970
01:11:06.359 --> 01:11:14.439
That's jungle land, brown stuff before
green stuff. Right, What does

971
01:11:14.439 --> 01:11:17.960
that mean? It means that when
you create an environment for roots to thrive,

972
01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:21.680
your plants are going to be successful. So it could be the jungle

973
01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:26.039
land you put in a pot.
It could be the blends we put in

974
01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:31.600
our soils to grow roses, to
grow flowers, to grow vegetables. You

975
01:11:31.840 --> 01:11:38.479
just create the scene. There's a
a phrase from Field of Dreams. If

976
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:41.680
you build it, they will come. Well, if you build the right

977
01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:46.920
soil, they meaning flowers and vegetables
will come. The plants will thrive.

978
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:51.640
When you make a plant struggle,
it may stay alive, but it won't

979
01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:56.640
thrive. You won't have the bounty
of flowers. You won't have the bounty

980
01:11:56.680 --> 01:12:00.239
of vegetables, you won't have the
general beauty of the plant. But it's

981
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:08.600
so easy to do the soil first. Just always remember that I say this

982
01:12:08.720 --> 01:12:11.119
tongue in cheek, but there ought
to be a lawn Texas that you can't

983
01:12:11.119 --> 01:12:14.840
buy a flour or a vegetable without
also buying a bag of soil. That

984
01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:18.640
now I know, I know,
this is the land of you can have

985
01:12:18.720 --> 01:12:21.720
my gun when you pull my cold
dead fingers off the trigger. So we're

986
01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:26.880
not going to get that law passed, But for the plant's sake and for

987
01:12:26.960 --> 01:12:31.600
your ultimate success, it would be
a good one to have fix the soil.

988
01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:35.920
Fix the soil it once the plants
are in We can still do a

989
01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:40.560
few things, but not near as
much as when we fix the soil to

990
01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:45.039
begin with. And it always be
building your soil. Your soil is a

991
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:50.079
bank account, so like in your
lawn. Asmite mineral nutrients, trace minerals,

992
01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:56.760
micronutrients. It's a mind product from
Utah. It is, it has

993
01:12:56.880 --> 01:13:00.279
those compounds in it. You don't
put a lot of it out. A

994
01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:03.800
forty four pound bag will cover like
six to twelve thousand square feet of yr

995
01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:08.199
lawn. You don't want to overdo
micros. You just need a little of

996
01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:12.039
them, but you need them.
They're essential. Fix your soil, build

997
01:13:12.039 --> 01:13:16.000
the bank account. When that grass
plant is growing and three days from now

998
01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:20.720
it leaves some zinc and some manganese
and some whatever, you got to have

999
01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:24.520
it in the sole bank account and
the grass can take off. And that's

1000
01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:29.319

that's what Azamite does. Asimite Texas dot

want to go learn more about it.

1002
01:13:30.920 --> 01:13:34.159
We're gonna take a little break here
our phone number seven one three two one

1003
01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:39.760
two KTRH. When we come back, we will talk to Judy and James

1004
01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:43.680
to begin with, Welcome back to
Guardenline. We're going to run right to

1005
01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:46.479
the phones and start off in League
City with Judy. Hello, Judy,

1006
01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:50.199
Hi, har are you? I'm
well? I'm well, how can we

1007
01:13:50.239 --> 01:13:55.399
help? Well? Last weekend I
had called and you gave me some good

1008
01:13:55.399 --> 01:14:01.119
advice on planting new side. But
I've been trying to find someplace near Lake

1009
01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:06.399
City that sells high quality sandy loam
with and I haven't been able to do

1010
01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:13.039
that. Do you have any recommendations? Oh boy, I don't. I

1011
01:14:13.079 --> 01:14:16.880
don't know off the top of my
head who would have that down in the

1012
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:21.760
League City area. Well, I
go ahead. I did call Moss Nursery

1013
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:29.560
and they have their own brand of
what they sell to plant side, and

1014
01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:33.920
it sounded like it was mainly sand
and it had some other components in it,

1015
01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:38.680
and I'm just not sure about it. Well, is that by the

1016
01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:43.239
bag that they're selling it? I
think? So? Oh okay, okay,

1017
01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:45.760
Well, how big is an area
are you wanting to cover? Well?

1018
01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:49.239
I have an area that I need
to fill in that's kind of washed

1019
01:14:49.239 --> 01:14:55.279
out. I need to build it
back up, and I guess it's about

1020
01:14:56.439 --> 01:15:00.199
twenty by ten, and then I
have some other sporadic areas. Yeah.

1021
01:15:00.479 --> 01:15:04.359
Well, I tell you that this
is a little distance and you'd have to

1022
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:09.439
find a way to get it to
you. But see an a mulch which

1023
01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:14.800
is due west of you, you're
a little outside. I think they delivered

1024
01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:19.199
twenty mile radius. But they have
absolute top quality ballinds. I would not

1025
01:15:19.279 --> 01:15:24.279
hesitate with anything they sell being a
top quality. I've been out there looked

1026
01:15:24.279 --> 01:15:29.119
at it a number of times.
They deliver twenty miles. You might give

1027
01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:32.239
them a call, and I'm sure
they have suggestions like there's a you can

1028
01:15:32.319 --> 01:15:36.079
hire this trucker to bring it to
you or whatever. But if you're doing

1029
01:15:36.079 --> 01:15:40.960
it, if you're doing a yard, that's a lot. Yeah, you

1030
01:15:41.000 --> 01:15:47.359
know you you need to be able
to, you know, purchase cubic yards,

1031
01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:51.359
many many cubic yards, depending on
how big your yard is. Right

1032
01:15:51.520 --> 01:15:57.239
right, I'd probably talk to Siena. I think I think that is where

1033
01:15:57.239 --> 01:16:00.199
i'd begin. They may also if
they if they just you know, you

1034
01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:05.880
can't work something out there, they
might be able to suggest some other source

1035
01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:12.920
that they trust a little further east
than they normally deliver. Okay, okay,

1036
01:16:13.000 --> 01:16:15.760
that sounds good. I'll do that. Yeah, yeah, that's okay.

1037
01:16:17.880 --> 01:16:21.439
Are you still there? Yes?
Oh, Okay, well, yeah,

1038
01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:24.760
just just give them a call.
I was trying to find the number

1039
01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:28.439
right here and I can't a finger
on it. If I if I find

1040
01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:31.119
it in the second, I'll say
it on the air. Okay, good

1041

the time. Take care of your
trees before summer, the spring storms and

1043
01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:46.760
summer and all that get here.
Trees need to be prune properly. And

1044
01:16:46.840 --> 01:16:50.199
if they weren't prune properly a quality
our brisk can come in and they can

1045
01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:55.800
work on it to try to improve
on the situation. But listen, when

1046
01:16:56.119 --> 01:16:59.479
a butcher job is done by someone
who doesn't know what they're talking about,

1047
01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:02.239
you've ruined your trees and there they're
never going to be what they could have

1048
01:17:02.319 --> 01:17:08.000
been. Affordable tree service. They
know what they're doing. Martin spoon Moore

time. He's got the experience and he's

1050
01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:15.399
got the reputation in the industry.

get on his list for a consultation.

1053
01:17:25.319 --> 01:17:29.600
Consultation costs one hundred and fifty bucks
because he can't run around just talking to

1054
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:31.720
everybody has a tree question. One
hundred and fifty bucks to come out.

1055
01:17:31.800 --> 01:17:35.399

1056
01:17:35.439 --> 01:17:39.239
hundred and fifty dollars toward that work. It just carries right over. You

1057
01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:44.479

1065
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:25.520
going to go now out to James
in Paarland. Hello James, good morning,

1066
01:18:25.560 --> 01:18:28.560
sir. How are you. I'm
well, I'm well, what's up?

1067
01:18:29.479 --> 01:18:30.680
Well? I had a question and
my wife came in with her question,

1068
01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:34.039
so I better ask hers first.
That is a wise man. That

1069
01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:40.720
is a wise man. So she
had this beautiful dwarf red but tree that

1070
01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:44.239
we lost in the freeze, and
she wants to get another one, but

1071
01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:47.840
she wants to put it in the
container, and was wondering do they do

1072
01:18:47.960 --> 01:18:51.560
well in the container? And what
size containers did she put it in?

1073
01:18:53.079 --> 01:18:57.720
Well, we don't normally see them
in containers. Uh. If as big

1074
01:18:57.760 --> 01:19:00.920
a container as you could possibly put
it in would be the way to start.

1075
01:19:01.000 --> 01:19:05.680
They're just they're they. Any plant
can be grown in a container,

1076
01:19:06.199 --> 01:19:12.560
provided that it's given lots of soil
for the container, a large container,

1077
01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:16.119
and that you give it constant soul, moisture consistent. And what happens is

1078
01:19:16.159 --> 01:19:19.840
in a container or a tree like
a red bud, it's gonna pump that

1079
01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:30.199
sort of drop regularly, tree gets
stressed and have problems with it. So

1080
01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:35.760
in general I just don't recommend it, but it is possible to at least

1081
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:42.520
keep on going. Okay, that's
good information. Uh. And the other

1082
01:19:42.600 --> 01:19:45.720
question I have is in my guarden
when I every year when I do my

1083
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:48.760
guard, about halfway through the season, I start to get these little I

1084
01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:54.119
don't know, bugs or something on
the plant. Do you recommend something to

1085
01:19:54.159 --> 01:19:59.199
treat that to prevent that it's not
gonna hurt the hardest or something that's you

1086
01:19:59.199 --> 01:20:01.880
know, organic in nature. I
would need to see the bugs to know

1087
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:04.239
what to tell you. The answer
is going to be yes. We have

1088
01:20:04.279 --> 01:20:09.399
a lot of good options that are
either organic or very very low tox synthetics

1089
01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:12.640
that can be used. But I
just need to see a picture of the

1090
01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:15.600
pests. You can emo me a
picture if you have one, and then

1091
01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:19.640
I can direct you to the product
that's going to work with the least toxicity.

1092
01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:24.119
Well, that's one of the things
is I don't really ever see them.

1093
01:20:24.159 --> 01:20:27.439
I just see where they're eating the
plant, okay, and and are

1094
01:20:27.439 --> 01:20:30.680
their little holes or what's the symptom
looking? Yeah, they're a little holes

1095
01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:33.039
all throughout. It kind of looks
like Swiss tea, especially on like the

1096
01:20:33.159 --> 01:20:36.159
cucumber and stuff like that. That
we're going with that green leave, Okay,

1097
01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:40.680
that's ninety percent of the time that's
going to be a little beetle,

1098
01:20:40.840 --> 01:20:44.680
a tiny beetle that is very shy, and you don't they don't want to

1099
01:20:44.680 --> 01:20:48.319
come out when you see them.
You get a product with spinosid if you

1100
01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:56.000
have a pen and spi sad spray
the foliage with it. You're probably going

1101
01:20:56.039 --> 01:20:58.640
to need to do it about once
a week for a little while to break

1102
01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:00.479
that cycle. But that we'll do
it. And that's about as safe as

1103
01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:03.880
you're going to get. Okay,
And should you do that early on in

1104
01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:08.960
the season as they start coming or
the first sign of holes, go ahead

1105
01:21:08.960 --> 01:21:12.600
and do it. Then you shouldn't
have to be spraying it all season long.

1106
01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:15.960
But okay, earlier you catch a
problem, the easier it is,

1107
01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:20.399
with the least spraying to control it. All right. Well, yeah,

1108
01:21:20.600 --> 01:21:24.359
once they start growing and it starts
looking good, they know they're there,

1109
01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:27.920
that's right. Well you made it. You plant a salad bar for them.

1110
01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:30.840
Hey, James, thank you,

Soils is an expert at providing enhancements for

1156
01:25:13.560 --> 01:25:16.640
your soil so you can have success
with your plants. It's as simple as

1157
01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:19.840
that. Do you want to put
in a vegetable garden. We'll give them

1158
01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:24.319
a call. Tell them you need
their veggie and herb mix. You can

1159
01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:26.880
buy it by the bag, but
you can also buy it by the bulk.

1160
01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:30.479
They'll even deliver it. They can
load it up and dump it on

1161
01:25:30.520 --> 01:25:32.640
the site. They can bring a
supersack. What is that. It's a

1162
01:25:32.680 --> 01:25:38.039
giant sack that holds a cubic yard
of soil, in this case veggie and

1163
01:25:38.119 --> 01:25:42.920
herb mix one hundred nineteen dollars in
bulk and then of course there's a charge

1164
01:25:42.920 --> 01:25:46.039
for delivery. You got to drive
all over town carry and stuff. But

1165
01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:48.960
that's a great deal, a really
great deal, and it's a way to

1166
01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:53.920
go from no garden to a garden. Heck, if you had the plants

1167
01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:56.039
and seed ready by the end of
the day, you can have a whole

1168
01:25:56.079 --> 01:26:00.000
nine yard set up and growing right
there at your place. It is.

1169
01:26:00.199 --> 01:26:04.079
It is easy to find airloom soils. They're widely available all over town.

1170
01:26:04.960 --> 01:26:10.239
That's one of the reasons that they
are so darn popular. You know,

1171
01:26:10.319 --> 01:26:13.680
the stuff works, you can find
it, It's easy to get. What

1172
01:26:13.720 --> 01:26:16.199
more could you ask for? I
mean, really, really, as simple

1173
01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:19.520
as that. I've grown in airloom
sols for a number of years now.

1174
01:26:19.640 --> 01:26:25.680
Every single one of their many options
I have had success with. You can

1175
01:26:25.720 --> 01:26:30.840
go to their website if you like, it's Airloomsoils dot Comloom or excuse me,

1176
01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:34.399
airloomsls of Texas dot com. And
if you want to go out to

1177
01:26:34.439 --> 01:26:39.399
the porter location Warren Rock and Maltch
Porter location out there, you can pick

1178
01:26:39.439 --> 01:26:44.000
it up. But I would just
say look around. If there is a

1179
01:26:44.119 --> 01:26:47.479
garden center or an ace hardware store
somewhere near you. A lot of feed

1180
01:26:47.520 --> 01:26:54.000
stores will carry airloom soils as well. Makes it really easy, really easy

1181
01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:56.880
to get a hold of them and
get the products that you need so that

1182
01:26:56.960 --> 01:27:00.479
you can have success. And again
airloomsols of Texas dot Com. Let's let's

1183
01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:03.079
head out to friends with We're gonna
talk to Jerry. Hello, Jerry,

1184
01:27:03.119 --> 01:27:08.920
thanks for holding. Hey, s
I'm will sir. How can I help

1185
01:27:09.359 --> 01:27:15.560
Well? A southern magnolia in the
front yard gets Western sewing all after every

1186
01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:20.479
day. It's got some spots on
the leaves and they're sporadic throughout the tree,

1187
01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:27.920
anywhere from an inch diameter to irregular
shapes larger larger than that, and

1188
01:27:27.960 --> 01:27:31.720
it's very dry. I've got a
photo if you need one to send you.

1189
01:27:33.159 --> 01:27:38.560
But when then what we got here
are the spots kind of a silvery

1190
01:27:38.680 --> 01:27:43.119
grayish color. Yes, okay,
yes, those are algon. They'll call

1191
01:27:43.119 --> 01:27:48.720
it algal leaf spots as in algae. When magnolia leaves get older, they're

1192
01:27:48.840 --> 01:27:54.800
cast off. They're evergreen trees,
but the leaves don't live year to year

1193
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:59.560
to year. They have a lifespan
and in spring typically when the new growth

1194
01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:02.159
comes in, the old leaves will
be cast off. That's when we notice

1195
01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:05.359
a lot of things, those old
leaves that have been that are being cast

1196
01:28:05.399 --> 01:28:10.520
off. It's like the tree is
I don't know, pulling back the resources

1197
01:28:10.600 --> 01:28:14.039
about to kick them off, and
we start to see a lot of problems.

1198
01:28:14.119 --> 01:28:17.960
It is not a disease that is
going to threaten your tree. Typically,

1199
01:28:18.039 --> 01:28:21.479
it's going to be on the oldest
foliage, not the young new growth.

1200
01:28:21.520 --> 01:28:29.520
And so we just ignore it,
all right. So no, no

1201
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:32.560
really specific remedy for that. Just
keep the tree healthy. Yeah, well,

1202
01:28:32.720 --> 01:28:35.960
no, no, no worry about
it. There are a number of

1203
01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:40.960
different kinds of plants that as the
tree leaves get a little older and are

1204
01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:43.560
about to cast off, they'll do
that. We see that on some live

1205
01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:47.119
oaks as well, not the same
parts. Welcome. That answers the question

1206
01:28:47.479 --> 01:28:50.760
if the tree is not looking good, it's for some other reason. Let

1207
01:28:50.800 --> 01:28:57.039
me put it that way. Last
summer's drought flat killed a lot of southern

1208
01:28:57.039 --> 01:29:01.359
magnolias. Others had huge brown section
and some others that are struggling. You

1209
01:29:01.439 --> 01:29:04.560
just look at them and the branches
look like they're missing a whole lot of

1210
01:29:04.640 --> 01:29:09.439
leaves, and it's just because the
plan is struggling, right, Yeah,

1211
01:29:09.479 --> 01:29:12.880
Between the freeze and the drought.
This tree did drop a lot of leaves,

1212
01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:15.920
yes, and had their spots,
but it's still coming back well.

1213
01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:17.840
Good. Just to make sure it, you know, when we go into

1214
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:23.199
summer and it gets hot and quick
training, just a good soaking every week

1215
01:29:23.319 --> 01:29:27.560
or two. Just a good soaking. Yeah right, it sounds like a

1216
01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:30.399
winner. Hey, Jerry, thank
you, thank you, you take care.

1217
01:29:31.479 --> 01:29:38.119
Yeah, that is true. Ace
hardware stores have a motto and it's

1218
01:29:38.439 --> 01:29:41.640
ACE is the place. You know, ACE is the place for and then

1219
01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:46.000
you fill in the blank, and
I think just leaving it is as Aces

1220
01:29:46.079 --> 01:29:49.800
the place is a good way to
go because ACE is the place for whatever

1221
01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:55.119
you want to fill in. It's
a place for the outdoor living and the

1222
01:29:55.680 --> 01:29:59.880
different from barbecue pits, strings of
lights to on and on and on.

1223
01:30:00.199 --> 01:30:02.479
ACE is a place. Ace is
a place for a green lawn. Do

1224
01:30:02.520 --> 01:30:05.359
you need fertilizer? They got it. If you hear me talk about a

1225
01:30:05.359 --> 01:30:09.640
fertilizer, ACE has it. It's
as simple as that. ACE is a

1226
01:30:09.640 --> 01:30:12.640
place for fire ant control. With
this rain, I bet you're starting to

1227
01:30:12.640 --> 01:30:15.800
see some mounds of dirt appearing in
the yard. That's the fire ants trying

1228
01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:19.680
to get up out of the wet
gouey soil. ACE is a place for

1229
01:30:20.119 --> 01:30:26.000
baits and ACE is the place for
mound treatments for fire ants. ACE is

1230
01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:30.680
a place for mosquito repellence out in
the yard. ACE is a place for

1231
01:30:30.199 --> 01:30:35.840
hoses and tools and anything you need
to have a beautiful, bountiful home,

1232
01:30:35.960 --> 01:30:40.840
garden and landscape. It's a place
for indoors. It's a place of course,

1233
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:45.239
it's a hardware store. You know
what do we think plumbing, electrical

1234
01:30:45.119 --> 01:30:48.960
bathroom fixtures, light fixture. Yes, it's the place for all that.

1235
01:30:49.399 --> 01:30:54.760
But ACE is a place for inside
and outside the house to have success.

1236
01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:58.439
Just go to ACE. You know, there's what forty Ace Hardware stores here

1237
01:30:58.479 --> 01:31:01.920
in the Greater Houston area. You
go to Acehardware dot com and look for

1238
01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:06.039
the store locator. You can find
the ones that are closest to you.

1239
01:31:06.239 --> 01:31:12.359
Makes it really easy, makes it
really easy to do. For example,

1240
01:31:12.399 --> 01:31:17.079
ACE is a place for nitrofoss fertilizers. They have a wide selection of nitropos,

1241
01:31:17.079 --> 01:31:20.720
things like the fifteen five to ten
with trimec. That's the one that's

1242
01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:26.760
the spring green up fertilizer with a
broadly weed control in it. So here's

1243
01:31:26.800 --> 01:31:29.399
how it works. You put it
down. First of all, you wet

1244
01:31:29.600 --> 01:31:35.039
the leaves. Then you immediately spread
nitrofoss fifteen five to ten with trimec and

1245
01:31:35.239 --> 01:31:39.720
it sticks to the leaves and it
soaks into the tissue of the weeds.

1246
01:31:39.760 --> 01:31:42.800
It doesn't hurt your grass, it
hurts the weeds and it soaks in.

1247
01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:45.800
Give it about a day or two
and then watered in to get that nutrient

1248
01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:48.079
in your soil. And that that
does it. You take care of the

1249
01:31:48.159 --> 01:31:51.520
existing that's the cool season weeds you're
looking at. Now, where are you

1250
01:31:51.600 --> 01:31:55.520
going to find that, Well,
you're gonna find it at Bearings A both

1251
01:31:55.600 --> 01:32:00.920
the Bisonet and the Westheimer Bearing Hardware
locations. You're going to find an enchanted

1252
01:32:00.960 --> 01:32:04.720
forest out there in Richmond Roguesenberg or
for those of the upen Willis Growers outlet

1253
01:32:05.279 --> 01:32:11.640
carries nitrophoss fifteen five to ten with
trimec as well as other nitrofoss products.

1254
01:32:11.840 --> 01:32:15.039
We're going to take a little break
right now our phone number seven one three

1255
01:32:15.119 --> 01:32:19.920
two point two fifty eight seventy four. Well, we do have sunrise.

1256
01:32:19.960 --> 01:32:24.600
Welcome back to garden line. It
looks beautiful out there today. I hope

1257
01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:29.800
you're planning on getting outside and getting
some gardening done. This is definitely a

1258
01:32:29.880 --> 01:32:33.840
time that you can have a great
head start on the season, so don't

1259
01:32:33.920 --> 01:32:39.000
don't delay anymore. It's time to
get out there and make sure everything you're

1260
01:32:39.039 --> 01:32:43.920
wanting to accomplish is set up right
in the gardens and that that starts by

1261
01:32:44.399 --> 01:32:47.319
taking care of the soil, taking
care of getting the right kinds of plants

1262
01:32:47.359 --> 01:32:53.479
that you have. For example,
Landscaper's Pride. Landscaper's Pride has twenty seven

1263
01:32:53.560 --> 01:32:57.640
different bagged and bulk products available.
That's a lot. If you want to

1264
01:32:57.680 --> 01:32:59.840
find out more about them and where
to get them, just go to a

1265
01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:04.399
lendscapers Pride dot com. Lendscaperspride dot
com. They've been doing this for over

1266
01:33:04.479 --> 01:33:11.239
twenty years now. They always are
providing the local, top quality resources that

1267
01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:15.920
you want. It's just as simple
as that. For example, they've got

1268
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:19.399
the Premium Potting Soil. It's a
compost rich potting soil based on Sphagnum.

1269
01:33:19.640 --> 01:33:25.800
It's got. What it does is
it provides the drainage that you need,

1270
01:33:26.119 --> 01:33:30.880
but it also has the nutrients and
they use color stars slowly fertilizer. It

1271
01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:33.039
will feed up to three months.
So when you get the potting soil.

1272
01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:38.520
You're already set up with the nutrient
release over three months that it needs.

1273
01:33:39.079 --> 01:33:42.199
It's got the pearlide in it to
keep it open and make sure that it

1274
01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:47.279
drains well. Pod dirt is their
organic certified, the OMRI certified organic soil

1275
01:33:47.840 --> 01:33:53.479
for short term high potency growth on
flowering plants. You know when you put

1276
01:33:53.479 --> 01:33:57.560
a swell on a pot and you
get your plants and you want to grow

1277
01:33:57.560 --> 01:34:00.560
fast and bloom fast and bloom big
soon. And it's packed with nutrients,

1278
01:34:00.600 --> 01:34:04.199
it's got worm castings, it's got
sanded ver mickelit and more. So.

1279
01:34:04.319 --> 01:34:09.199
You can also use pot dirt on
your annual color beds, both building in

1280
01:34:09.239 --> 01:34:13.520
a bed and doing the seasonal color
changes. You pull out your winter flowers,

1281
01:34:13.560 --> 01:34:15.640
you get ready to plant your spring, mix in pot dirt. That's

1282
01:34:15.640 --> 01:34:20.479
how that works. They have a
wide variety of soils at Landscapers Pride and

1283
01:34:20.600 --> 01:34:25.279
just go to Landscaperspride dot com and
you can find out where to get them

1284
01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:29.920
near you. And that's not hard
to do. Let's go out to Sueni

1285
01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:34.119
now and talk to Aaron. Hello, aeron good morning. I got a

1286
01:34:34.319 --> 01:34:42.439
tree question for you. About two
weeks ago I planted five small live oak

1287
01:34:42.520 --> 01:34:47.319
trees. They're probably just under two
inch, pretty close to two inch diameter.

1288
01:34:47.880 --> 01:34:56.000
Whenever I planted on I utilize some
I think it was Furtilm root stimulator,

1289
01:34:56.560 --> 01:35:01.359
which had a little bit of fertilizer
in itestion is is when do everything

1290
01:35:01.399 --> 01:35:06.600
I look at now is about the
time of year to fertilize young oak trees

1291
01:35:06.640 --> 01:35:11.439
at the same time that he's just
being put in the ground. I didn't

1292
01:35:11.439 --> 01:35:14.119
know if that was too early,
if I needed to wait a certain amount

1293
01:35:14.399 --> 01:35:18.119
to ensure they were established first.
No, it's not too early. You

1294
01:35:18.159 --> 01:35:23.159
can go ahead and fertilize them now. That's just fine. Just I would

1295
01:35:23.520 --> 01:35:29.000
I would either use a fertilizer that's
designed for trees that you can find those

1296
01:35:29.039 --> 01:35:32.439
out there in the market. I
know nitroposs makes one that's designed four trees

1297
01:35:32.520 --> 01:35:39.000
itself. But I often will use
a good quality long fertilizer and just use

1298
01:35:39.079 --> 01:35:45.960
that around my trees. If you
will take your thumb and look at how

1299
01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:48.000
wide is that trunk. You know, if let's say it's the size of

1300
01:35:48.039 --> 01:35:51.800
a coke can, well that'd be
about three inches or three thumbs across.

1301
01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:58.479
You would put three to six cups
of fertilizer. So for each thumb across

1302
01:35:58.520 --> 01:36:03.520
the trunk, one or two cups
of fertilizer per thumb. Does that make

1303
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:06.840
it simple and easy? I know, I think so. And I'm assuming

1304
01:36:06.880 --> 01:36:11.359
that's just kind of around the drip
line of the canopy. You take the

1305
01:36:11.600 --> 01:36:14.880
total amount you're talking about and kind
of distributed around the drip line, well

1306
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:18.840
evenly spread all through that area,
So not just a not just a ring,

1307
01:36:19.479 --> 01:36:26.359
but evenly spread all through the area. Got you? And then just

1308
01:36:26.439 --> 01:36:30.920
one follow up question to that watering, especially with young trees like this they're

1309
01:36:30.920 --> 01:36:33.119
reading I've done. I found a
little bit kind of all over the place

1310
01:36:33.239 --> 01:36:38.239
of is it something that I need
to do pretty regularly, or if we're

1311
01:36:38.279 --> 01:36:40.960
getting a little bit of rain like
we are now, kind of stay away

1312
01:36:41.000 --> 01:36:45.800
from them. Is there what's kind
of the recommendational that the best answer to

1313
01:36:45.840 --> 01:36:51.319
that, Aaron, is to keep
the sul moist. So if it was

1314
01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:56.039
a sandy soil, that's more often
than a clay. If it's summer,

1315
01:36:56.119 --> 01:37:00.319
that's more often than now. If
you see what I'm saying, it just

1316
01:37:00.760 --> 01:37:04.000
I could tell you put down this
much or water for this long every this

1317
01:37:04.119 --> 01:37:08.399
many days, but that would only
be right at a certain time of the

1318
01:37:08.479 --> 01:37:13.800
year in certain locations. Right,
So what I you can kind of tell

1319
01:37:13.840 --> 01:37:16.960
by looking at how things are doing. But if it hasn't rained, how

1320
01:37:17.000 --> 01:37:20.720
long did you say these have been
in? Just two weeks? Two weeks?

1321
01:37:20.960 --> 01:37:26.640
I would say this first summer probably
per tree, give them about about

1322
01:37:26.760 --> 01:37:30.199
five gallons of water, and I
would do it a couple of times a

1323
01:37:30.279 --> 01:37:36.039
week once the weather the heat comes. So let's say may I come May

1324
01:37:36.119 --> 01:37:40.960
hot. You can water occasionally now, but once we get into hot weather,

1325
01:37:41.000 --> 01:37:44.319
about five gallons a couple of times
a week. Now, if you

1326
01:37:44.439 --> 01:37:47.159
dig down with the trowel and the
soil is monky wet, then back off.

1327
01:37:47.319 --> 01:37:53.199
Don't water anymore. But in general, that's a rough guide for you.

1328
01:37:54.399 --> 01:37:57.359
Okay, Well, I'm at I
think you've answered my questions exactly what

1329
01:37:57.399 --> 01:37:59.239
I was looking for. I sure
appreciate it, all right, sir.

1330
01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:02.359
Good luck with those trees. I
do wish you well. By the way,

1331
01:38:02.359 --> 01:38:05.800
when you put a new tree in, I should have mentioned this when

1332
01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:12.560
it had aaron on the phone.
You need to consider the three sixty tree

1333
01:38:12.720 --> 01:38:16.960
stabilizer device. That think of it
as a stiff arm that on one side

1334
01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:21.760
grabs the stake and on the other
side grabs the tree. It's designed so

1335
01:38:21.800 --> 01:38:25.960
that it fits perfectly on a t
post if you want to drive one of

1336
01:38:26.000 --> 01:38:29.199
those in, or you can put
it over a fence post. I mean,

1337
01:38:29.399 --> 01:38:31.680
it'll go either way. The side
that holds a tree has a soft

1338
01:38:31.720 --> 01:38:36.640
rubber strap and you can set it
a little loose because you want the tree

1339
01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:42.399
to move. That's important. Movement
strengthens the trunk. So when you're talking

1340
01:38:42.439 --> 01:38:45.960
about young trees that they are just
planted and the wind's blowing and they're wiggling

1341
01:38:46.039 --> 01:38:51.239
around, that three sixty tree stabilizer
will work really well for you. You

1342
01:38:51.239 --> 01:38:55.800
can get them down at Jorges Hidden
Gardens and Alvin, which isn't too terribly

1343
01:38:55.840 --> 01:38:58.720
far away for Warren to head down
to. I know, it's a little

1344
01:38:58.720 --> 01:39:00.479
bit of a drive down the road
there. They have them there. Southwest

1345
01:39:00.520 --> 01:39:05.840
Fertilizer up in Southwest Houston, RCW, buchanans Arburgate plants for all seasons.

1346
01:39:05.880 --> 01:39:11.600
All these places carry the three sixty
tree stabilizer. Once you buy it,

1347
01:39:11.600 --> 01:39:15.520
it's gonna be good. It's gonna
work well for you for many years.

1348
01:39:15.520 --> 01:39:16.840
So anytime you want to plant a
tree, you don't loan. It's a

1349
01:39:16.880 --> 01:39:23.319
friend that's got one a new tree
and needs some stabilization. That tree stabilizer

1350
01:39:23.479 --> 01:39:27.079
will do the trick. You don't
trip over wires. You don't have to

1351
01:39:27.079 --> 01:39:30.720
worry about buying what fifty feet a
wire and all the little sect cutting hoses

1352
01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:33.880
and sections to go around the branch
so the wire doesn't cut the branch.

1353
01:39:34.479 --> 01:39:38.880
Just do a three sixty tree stabilizer. It makes it really, really easy

1354
01:39:38.920 --> 01:39:42.600
to do. Our phone number is
seven one three two one two fifty eight

1355
01:39:42.720 --> 01:39:45.199
seventy four. I'm going to head
out to Spring Branch now and talk to

1356
01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:49.359
Herda. Well, Hello, Herda, good morning. How are you doing.

1357
01:39:50.079 --> 01:39:54.039
I'm doing well. It's good to
hear from you. What's up today?

1358
01:39:54.159 --> 01:40:00.159
Thank you? Well? I have
a large chefeal error in the front

1359
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:11.479
and I wondered if I took one
of the tips of it, maybe cut

1360
01:40:11.520 --> 01:40:16.640
it back. Oh, I don't
know, maybe a foot or more?

1361
01:40:16.960 --> 01:40:24.159
Uh huh, and pot it are? Yeah, I think i'd put it

1362
01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:30.199
in a pot first, And will
that live? Will that make another cheffleeer?

1363
01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:31.920
All right, well, Herd,
I need you to turn the radio

1364
01:40:31.960 --> 01:40:38.039
down the background. We're getting a
little interference there, but you can read

1365
01:40:38.079 --> 01:40:43.359
a scheffler from cuttings. That's okay, But what I would recommend you do

1366
01:40:43.520 --> 01:40:47.680
is something called an air layer and
what you can go online and find out

1367
01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:50.680
how to do it, but here's
basically what you do. You get your

1368
01:40:50.760 --> 01:40:56.760
bread wrapper, any kind of clear
plastic that's that's soft, like a bread

1369
01:40:56.800 --> 01:41:01.359
wrapper. You get a double handful
of potting soil or sphagnum moss, and

1370
01:41:01.399 --> 01:41:08.159
you press it around the stem and
wrap it above and below with that wrapper,

1371
01:41:08.439 --> 01:41:13.119
so you've created a little plastic container
that you have a twist tie or

1372
01:41:13.119 --> 01:41:17.600
something above and a twist tie something
below, and the plant will root into

1373
01:41:17.680 --> 01:41:23.039
that area since it's outside. Take
a little aluminum foil and wrap it around

1374
01:41:23.039 --> 01:41:28.760
it so the sunlight doesn't shine in
there, and overheat that soil like sunshine

1375
01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:32.199
through something clear will and just keep
the soil moist. Check it over,

1376
01:41:32.760 --> 01:41:36.199
oh every week or so. It's
probably gonna be about two or three weeks,

1377
01:41:36.239 --> 01:41:41.000
and you'll see some roots in there. That's when it's starting to pump

1378
01:41:41.039 --> 01:41:45.079
the water dry faster. Once you've
got roots, you can cut it off

1379
01:41:45.159 --> 01:41:47.840
from the mother plant and you're potting
up a plant. That's not just a

1380
01:41:47.880 --> 01:41:53.119
cutting, but it already has a
root start and it'll be much more successful,

1381
01:41:54.720 --> 01:42:00.279
all right, But I just put
that around the stem. Yes,

1382
01:42:00.680 --> 01:42:05.840
I don't cut it at all.
Right, break off a couple of their

1383
01:42:05.920 --> 01:42:09.960
leaves in the way, break them
off and put it around the stem there

1384
01:42:10.600 --> 01:42:14.960
with the cheff laar you. Sometimes
they'll take a little knife and poke it

1385
01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:17.880
in and wound the plant a little
bit. But I don't think that's necessary

1386
01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:23.640
with the schiff fla. But you
can go look it up. There's a

1387
01:42:23.640 --> 01:42:28.119
lot more instructions, but it basically
is a wad of potting soil or sphagnum

1388
01:42:28.159 --> 01:42:31.960
moss, wrapped in clear plastic and
kept moist and with a little foil over

1389
01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:35.840
it to keep the sun out.
All right, thank you very much,

1390
01:42:36.399 --> 01:42:41.119
you too, thank you for the
call. And good luck with that.

1391
01:42:41.800 --> 01:42:45.159
Good luck with that. I was
talking about arcie W Nursery earlier today.

1392
01:42:45.880 --> 01:42:51.079
I don't know if you realize this, but ARCW has over two hundred varieties

1393
01:42:51.079 --> 01:42:57.199
of roses. Over two hundred varieties
of roses, you will see. I

1394
01:42:57.239 --> 01:43:00.640
was looking at some some of their
roses, and they have the kind that

1395
01:43:00.680 --> 01:43:04.920
are like white and red. They
look like peppermint candy. They've got that

1396
01:43:05.000 --> 01:43:11.039
kind of pattern in kind of a
coral orange, tangerine looking roses. I

1397
01:43:11.079 --> 01:43:15.479
mean, just use your imagination.
RCW has two hundreds, so there's a

1398
01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:18.720
lot of types. They are a
great place to get trees too, And

1399
01:43:18.720 --> 01:43:21.039
now's the time to plant trees.
By the way, hurry up and get

1400
01:43:21.039 --> 01:43:26.840
them in for the summer. Gets
here RCW nurseries dot com. That's the

1401
01:43:26.920 --> 01:43:30.439
website, RCW nurseries dot com.
They are at Tomball Parkway, which is

1402
01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:33.640
Highway two forty nine and belt Way
eight, so it's really easy to get

1403
01:43:33.680 --> 01:43:36.920
to them. And when you're there, you're going to find all the fertilizers

1404
01:43:36.920 --> 01:43:41.520
that I talk about here and all
the products that you need to plant that

1405
01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:47.039
rose or tree or whatever you purchase
from them to have success from planting right

1406
01:43:47.319 --> 01:43:50.880
at the first of the whole nine
yards. You know you want to get

1407
01:43:50.880 --> 01:43:58.439
that plant established well. So RCW
will sell you things like a microlife fertilizer

1408
01:43:58.560 --> 01:44:00.479
to put in there and take care
of it. They'll sell you some root

1409
01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:04.600
activator to put in. They even
have a little handy handout sheet that tells

1410
01:44:04.640 --> 01:44:08.680
you how much to use and when
to use. It makes it real easy,

1411
01:44:08.840 --> 01:44:12.000
makes it kind of fool proof.
You're listening to Guardenline. Our phone

1412
01:44:12.079 --> 01:44:16.159
number is seven one three two one
two fifty eight seventy four seven one three

1413
01:44:16.600 --> 01:44:24.399
two one two five eight seven four. If you are wanting to do an

1414
01:44:24.439 --> 01:44:28.000
early greenup on your lawn, you
want something that's going to get those nutrients

1415
01:44:28.039 --> 01:44:31.199
out there right away and get that
lawn off to a good start. Well,

1416
01:44:31.760 --> 01:44:35.520
nitrofoss Imperial is what you need.
It's a it's a red bag,

1417
01:44:35.920 --> 01:44:41.479
a red bag, nitrofos Imperial.
It's got three numbers fifteen, five ten.

1418
01:44:41.920 --> 01:44:45.960
Why those three because years ago research
in soul science at Texas A and

1419
01:44:46.079 --> 01:44:51.319
M and other Southern universities found that
a three one two ratio is the ideal

1420
01:44:51.439 --> 01:44:57.520
ratio for grass plants to take up. And when nitrofoss imperial, you're getting

1421
01:44:57.680 --> 01:45:01.920
a quick release, so you get
that early greenup. That's what you're going

1422
01:45:02.000 --> 01:45:05.159
for. You want things to green
up even before it's warm enough for the

1423
01:45:05.199 --> 01:45:10.279
grass to grow fast. The early
greenup will provide that green color. Where

1424
01:45:10.359 --> 01:45:12.960
you're going to get that. Where
you're going to get it at Katie Ace

1425
01:45:13.119 --> 01:45:17.479
Hardware down in Katie that's on Pinoak
Street, by the way. For those

1426
01:45:17.520 --> 01:45:21.239
of you have been there. Ace
Hardware a memorial Drive is going to have

1427
01:45:21.319 --> 01:45:25.039
that. They call it Ace Hardware
City, a Memorial Drive is going to

1428
01:45:25.039 --> 01:45:28.119
have it. Stanton's Hardware down in
Alvin they're going to have it as well.

1429
01:45:28.119 --> 01:45:32.000
It's easy to find that, not
difficult at all. I just I'm

1430
01:45:32.039 --> 01:45:36.399
going to take a little break here
for the Nikky and the news. I

1431
01:45:36.439 --> 01:45:40.920
just want to remind you today I'll
be at the scy Fair Home and Garden

1432
01:45:41.000 --> 01:45:45.920

1433
01:45:45.960 --> 01:45:49.279
parking, They're giving free admission.
Bring me samples, bring me pictures.

1434
01:45:49.399 --> 01:45:53.319
Let's talk about what's wrong with your
plants, or just talk about, Hey,

1435
01:45:53.319 --> 01:45:56.880
here's this area over here. What
would you plant in this area for

1436
01:45:57.039 --> 01:46:00.680
color or to make it look a
little bit better. I'll there, I

1437
01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:02.600
answer your gardening questions, give a
little bit of talk. It's time for

1438
01:46:02.680 --> 01:46:05.960
Nicky and the news. Our phone
number seven one three two one two K

1439
01:46:06.039 --> 01:46:11.000
t r H. I'll be right
back. Welcome back to the garden line.

1440
01:46:11.000 --> 01:46:13.880
There's a lot going on there in
that song. Uh, we are

1441
01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:15.840
glad to have you back. Our
phone number is seven one three two one

1442
01:46:15.880 --> 01:46:20.439
two five eight seven four seven one, three, two, one, two,

1443
01:46:20.960 --> 01:46:25.279
five, eight seven four. Hey, well, was the last time

1444
01:46:25.319 --> 01:46:29.279
you were at Arburgate? Have you
seen the new parking lot? Oh my

1445
01:46:29.399 --> 01:46:33.000
gosh, it is the coolest thing
ever. You just turned down. There's

1446
01:46:33.000 --> 01:46:38.279
a little road called Trishel Road and
it no matter which way you're coming at

1447
01:46:38.359 --> 01:46:41.960
Arburgate, which is out on twenty
nine to twenty west to Tombull, whichever

1448
01:46:42.000 --> 01:46:45.600
way you're coming from easter or west, Trisher Road leaves twenty nine twenty and

1449
01:46:45.640 --> 01:46:50.119
goes around behind Arburgate and then comes
back into twenty nine twenty. So if

1450
01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:55.039
you didn't see it and you're passing
Arburgate, just keep watching. It's on

1451
01:46:55.079 --> 01:46:59.439
the arbor Gate side of course of
twenty nine to twenty and you just turn

1452
01:46:59.479 --> 01:47:01.039
there and go in the back parking
lot. It is all weather. I

1453
01:47:01.039 --> 01:47:05.640
don't care if it rains whatever.
It's one of those parking lots that takes

1454
01:47:05.680 --> 01:47:12.079
the water in and it drains through
the lot and it's just a really cool

1455
01:47:12.159 --> 01:47:15.880
technology that does that with these little
pavers and the gravel and stuff in between

1456
01:47:15.880 --> 01:47:19.159
it. But you walk across it, it's a nice firm surface no matter

1457
01:47:19.159 --> 01:47:21.840
how much it rains. Now,
when you get to Arburgate. You know

1458
01:47:21.880 --> 01:47:27.560
what you're gonna find. You're gonna
find every kind of plant that you can

1459
01:47:27.640 --> 01:47:30.479
imagine, including a lot you never
even heard of that you need to try.

1460
01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:33.840
You're going to find people that know
what they're talking about. Beverly and

1461
01:47:33.920 --> 01:47:39.960
Kennon and the whole crew out there
at Arburgate very knowledgeable, and their goal

1462
01:47:40.079 --> 01:47:43.600
is to help you have success because
they know that when you have success,

1463
01:47:43.640 --> 01:47:47.000
you're gonna come back and you're gonna
get more. Because Arbrogate is always it's

1464
01:47:47.079 --> 01:47:51.159
like the trucks are coming in all
the time bringing a whole new shipment.

1465
01:47:51.720 --> 01:47:56.079
They have fruit trees year round.
They have vegetables, they have herbs,

1466
01:47:56.119 --> 01:48:00.000
they have flowers, they have unbelievable
garden blaying. I mean, you can

1467
01:48:00.039 --> 01:48:05.840
turn your place into just whatever you
dream. At Arburgate. They have the

1468
01:48:05.880 --> 01:48:10.680
soil, they have the fertilizer.
They have the one, two, three,

1469
01:48:10.720 --> 01:48:15.600
completely simple easy system. It's a
fertilizer, it is a compost,

1470
01:48:15.720 --> 01:48:19.319
and it is a soil and all
three are specifically designed for our gooey,

1471
01:48:19.439 --> 01:48:23.840
messy Houston black clays. Now you
can use them in sand or anything else,

1472
01:48:24.239 --> 01:48:30.479
but they are absolutely organic food,
soil and compost for success at Arburgate,

1473
01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:33.840
which is just west of Tomball.
If you haven't been there before,

1474
01:48:33.840 --> 01:48:36.119
you really need to go. In
fact, i'd suggest to go ahead and

1475
01:48:36.159 --> 01:48:41.439
go this afternoon because it's going to
be a great day for that. Let's

1476
01:48:41.479 --> 01:48:44.680
go out to Annawhak and we're going
to talk to Gerald. Hello, Gerald,

1477
01:48:45.399 --> 01:48:50.920
good morning, morning. Question.
I've planted a three or four of

1478
01:48:51.000 --> 01:48:56.640
Florida King peaches last year and they're
doing great. So I was wondering about

1479
01:48:56.640 --> 01:48:59.880
the fungicide I need to put on
them, and also when it starts for

1480
01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:03.600
insects. If you planted them last
year, we're not looking at a crop

1481
01:49:03.720 --> 01:49:09.399
this year, really, and so
you don't have to worry about treating for

1482
01:49:09.600 --> 01:49:15.880
brown rot. There's really not a
fungal disease that I would worry about on

1483
01:49:15.119 --> 01:49:18.920
Florida King. Now, there are, there are a few things that can

1484
01:49:19.000 --> 01:49:23.319
attack, but it's never It's not
the kind of thing like every year you

1485
01:49:23.399 --> 01:49:27.880
gotta spray your peaches for these.
But once you start producing then brown rot

1486
01:49:27.960 --> 01:49:31.359
which decays the fruit, that would
be something you might want to want to

1487
01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:35.840
have something on hand to spray for. What was the other half the question?

1488
01:49:36.159 --> 01:49:41.560
Can you remind me? Well the
other thing is on my keyfer pears.

1489
01:49:42.119 --> 01:49:44.720
You know, they bloomed a lot. They're only a two year old

1490
01:49:44.760 --> 01:49:46.439
tree. They had a lot of
balloons on them, but I didn't get

1491
01:49:46.640 --> 01:49:51.199
very meany pears that actually the yield
was pretty low. Yeah, yeah,

1492
01:49:51.520 --> 01:49:58.000
that the tree is just making sure
it doesn't overload itself. And that's fine.

1493
01:49:58.880 --> 01:50:01.640
By the fourth the year, your
keepers should be producing very well.

1494
01:50:01.720 --> 01:50:05.239
You'll get some more fruit this year
than you did last year. Keeper's a

1495
01:50:05.279 --> 01:50:10.600
good, old tough pair. It
can put up with the issues we have

1496
01:50:10.720 --> 01:50:15.359
with pairs here pretty well. All
Right, The last last real quick question

1497
01:50:15.479 --> 01:50:18.119
the Florida King believes or not.
I've got one tree that must have twenty

1498
01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:25.319
to twenty five peaches, and yeah
it's I have a really really sandy loamy

1499
01:50:25.399 --> 01:50:29.520
soil. It's unreal, it's so
much sand. But so they're really doing

1500
01:50:29.560 --> 01:50:30.960
good. And that's why I was
wondered, do I do I need to

1501
01:50:31.079 --> 01:50:40.600
consider a fungicide for that tree or
well, in that case you could,

1502
01:50:41.359 --> 01:50:46.119
I would watch them and see how
they're how they're doing. I don't like

1503
01:50:46.279 --> 01:50:53.159
to just go out and spray because
because it's time to spray, and especially

1504
01:50:53.279 --> 01:50:57.199
something you're going to be eating like
that. But it may be that you

1505
01:50:57.359 --> 01:51:00.680
want. If you're going to do
that, the tree as the fruit on

1506
01:51:00.840 --> 01:51:04.279
that tree gets to be, and
it may or if it's a if it's

1507
01:51:04.319 --> 01:51:09.239
that variety that's a pretty early one, it may already be golf ball sized

1508
01:51:09.279 --> 01:51:13.119
fruit. What what what does that
look like? Yeah, not quite that

1509
01:51:13.239 --> 01:51:21.520
big, but that size. Yeah. So I would say probably in the

1510
01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:28.039
next about two or three weeks from
now, you definitely want to spray it

1511
01:51:28.119 --> 01:51:31.720
once or twice about a week apart. Just the closer it gets to harvest,

1512
01:51:31.920 --> 01:51:39.359
the more the brown rot will attack. The little tiny hard green pear

1513
01:51:39.640 --> 01:51:45.720
or peaches is not going to be
bothered much by it. Okay, great,

1514
01:51:45.159 --> 01:51:47.600
thank you very much. Let me
let me offer one more thing about

1515
01:51:47.640 --> 01:51:56.119
the Kiefer the Keifer. Generally with
pears, we like a second variety for

1516
01:51:56.239 --> 01:52:02.319
cross pollination. Keifer will do it
okay without cross pollination, but in general

1517
01:52:02.600 --> 01:52:09.079
having a second variety around is always
good. Keifer's kind of somewhat the exception

1518
01:52:09.279 --> 01:52:13.680
to the rule there. What other
brand would you recommend to put in there

1519
01:52:13.800 --> 01:52:16.560
besides Keifer. Well, Keifer is
a very hard, more of a canning

1520
01:52:16.680 --> 01:52:20.760
pair, kind of a we say, gritty pairs have two types of cells

1521
01:52:20.800 --> 01:52:25.920
in the fruit. There's a soft
cell and then there's a they called it

1522
01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:29.239
a grit cell. I like just
eating them, and a lot of people

1523
01:52:29.319 --> 01:52:31.600
do like they are, but they
don't get soft and buttery like a bartlet

1524
01:52:31.720 --> 01:52:35.520
pear you buy in the store would
be. There are a number of good

1525
01:52:35.640 --> 01:52:42.399
varieties if you let's see you are
out there in anaway. If if you

1526
01:52:42.439 --> 01:52:45.039
can find one called Warrens, that's
pretty good. If you can find one

1527
01:52:45.119 --> 01:52:49.760
called tin te n n As in
Tennessee that that one is pretty good.

1528
01:52:50.880 --> 01:52:57.319
Let's see what else would be out
there. And I'll tell you what.

1529
01:52:57.520 --> 01:53:01.960
Let me do this. If you
will go online to the Aggie Horticulture website

1530
01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:06.720
Aggie Horticulture. You can find it
with the Google search. There is a

1531
01:53:06.800 --> 01:53:13.800
fruit section, and there is a
whole publication free multicolor publication on pear trees.

1532
01:53:14.520 --> 01:53:16.960
And I'll tell you everything you want
to know about pruning them, about

1533
01:53:17.039 --> 01:53:20.840
the issues that they have, and
about the varieties and things. I would

1534
01:53:20.880 --> 01:53:25.319
look at that and they'll give you
some more suggestions on there. Okay,

1535
01:53:25.720 --> 01:53:28.399
wonderful, all right, thank you
very much. All right, you take

1536
01:53:28.439 --> 01:53:31.000
care. Thank you for the call. I appreciate that very much. Do

1537
01:53:31.119 --> 01:53:34.680
you have some containers that you want
to grow things, then maybe you want

1538
01:53:34.680 --> 01:53:38.760
to grow herbs. Herbs are great
in containers. By the way, Do

1539
01:53:38.800 --> 01:53:44.720
you want to grow some fruit,
I mean fruit vegetable plants. Yesterday I

1540
01:53:44.800 --> 01:53:48.800
planted two Jalopenia peppers and containers.
Jungle land. That's what you need to

1541
01:53:48.840 --> 01:53:54.319
know. Jungle land. That is
jungle land, flour and vegetable planting soil.

1542
01:53:54.800 --> 01:53:58.520
It drains well, but it holds
moisture, it holds nutrients well.

1543
01:53:59.079 --> 01:54:02.159
And whether you're planning flowers and you
just want to set them on fire with

1544
01:54:02.359 --> 01:54:05.840
color, or whether you're planning vegetables
and you want it to be bountiful and

1545
01:54:05.960 --> 01:54:11.600
fruitful, jungle land flower and vegetables
what you need. Also, they have

1546
01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:15.640
the indoor jungle land water saving putting
salts, got the low crystals in it

1547
01:54:16.079 --> 01:54:21.119
that allow it to absorb and hold
water. So after the soil part,

1548
01:54:21.199 --> 01:54:25.800
if you will, is drying out, you still have those crystals that are

1549
01:54:25.840 --> 01:54:29.520
holding water to carry a little further. You can find it jungle land up

1550
01:54:29.560 --> 01:54:31.079
in shades of Texas, up in
the woodlands. You're going to find it

1551
01:54:31.960 --> 01:54:38.560
at the number of places like Stanton
Shopping Center down in Alvin. Enchanted Gardens

1552
01:54:38.720 --> 01:54:44.079
out there in the Richmond Rosenberg area
also has the jungle land products. It

1553
01:54:44.079 --> 01:54:47.760
makes them real easy to find,
not difficult at all. I am a

1554
01:54:48.159 --> 01:54:54.560
little short on time to take the
next call, so Helen and Lil you'll

1555
01:54:54.560 --> 01:54:57.520
be the first two up when we
come back. Our phone number is seven

1556
01:54:57.520 --> 01:55:03.920
to one three two one two kt
r H. Welcome back to garden Line.

1557
01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:06.000
Good to have you with us today. Hey, for those of you

1558
01:55:06.079 --> 01:55:10.399
out in the Kingwood area, you
know you've got Wars and Kingwood Garden Center

1559
01:55:10.439 --> 01:55:15.159
out there right and they always have
a stock of everything you need. The

1560
01:55:15.359 --> 01:55:20.840
Bougainvillia selection is stunning. It is
just a riot of color out there.

1561
01:55:21.479 --> 01:55:27.279
And do you know this that garden
center dropped their prices. They have dropped

1562
01:55:27.319 --> 01:55:30.359
them down to a really cool low
level. You need to check it out.

1563
01:55:30.439 --> 01:55:33.439
I mean it is you get a
lot more for your gardening dollar.

1564
01:55:33.520 --> 01:55:38.199
I'll tell you that for sure.
They've got new house plants that have just

1565
01:55:38.279 --> 01:55:42.359
come in. They've got a full
stock now of vegetables and herbs. Again,

1566
01:55:42.439 --> 01:55:45.239
you guys clean them out and they
restock. They're ready to go.

1567
01:55:45.760 --> 01:55:47.560
By the way, if you're going
to plant a lot of vegetables. For

1568
01:55:47.640 --> 01:55:53.279
example, you get a discounted price
when you buy a flat of eighteen plants,

1569
01:55:53.640 --> 01:55:56.560
but you don't have to buy eighteen
tomatoes. You can mix and match

1570
01:55:56.680 --> 01:56:00.399
any vegetables you have, but go
ahead and buy a flat of eighteen and

1571
01:56:00.479 --> 01:56:05.479
it's just an additional discount on that. They've got Hollywood hibiscus in Manda Villa's

1572
01:56:06.359 --> 01:56:12.479
just all kinds of hanging baskets that
are absolutely stunning. And kalladiums. Yes

1573
01:56:12.600 --> 01:56:17.279
here we are summer, warm season
shade color that equals kalladiums. That's the

1574
01:56:17.359 --> 01:56:21.479
plant you need. One's Garden Center, Kingwood Garden Center, both great places

1575
01:56:21.720 --> 01:56:26.319
to go out there and visit.
We're going to head out now to Alvin

1576
01:56:26.520 --> 01:56:31.119
and talk to Helen. Hello,
Helen, good morning. I live here

1577
01:56:31.319 --> 01:56:38.520
across the Alven High School, and
ever since they paved the road, I've

1578
01:56:38.560 --> 01:56:44.399
been flooding. Naturally, got it
day before yesterday. So I built a

1579
01:56:44.800 --> 01:56:50.760
like a flyer box across all nearly
two hundred feet of frontage, and I've

1580
01:56:50.840 --> 01:56:57.399
had boxwood there, but then I
had trees grow up, and then anyway,

1581
01:56:57.479 --> 01:57:00.800
we've had a pull. I would
like to know what I can put

1582
01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:08.079
there that will be evergreen and not
freeze. I'd like to put in Laura

1583
01:57:08.159 --> 01:57:13.520
pedalum, but I don't see that
our Laura pedalum blooms. I just came

1584
01:57:13.600 --> 01:57:17.920
from Louisiana and their bushes of Laura
pedlum were just full of little flowers.

1585
01:57:18.399 --> 01:57:24.000
Really did look nice and it was
the right color. But I from several

1586
01:57:24.079 --> 01:57:29.760
people, I do not get good
advice about Laura peddlum. They do bloom

1587
01:57:29.800 --> 01:57:32.600
here, they do. They absolutely
the right, Yeah, they do.

1588
01:57:33.000 --> 01:57:35.920
And they come in different sizes.
You can buy some that are more compact,

1589
01:57:36.000 --> 01:57:39.159
a little bit more compact, you
can buy something to get a little

1590
01:57:39.159 --> 01:57:43.800
taller. The standard Laura pedlum gets
quite large over time. Something that would

1591
01:57:43.840 --> 01:57:46.439
be nice. It would give you
some color. Generally, I think of

1592
01:57:46.560 --> 01:57:50.279
Laura peddlum as something that has a
little break from the sun during part of

1593
01:57:50.359 --> 01:57:55.439
the day. It doesn't have to
though, aslutely I know this would have

1594
01:57:56.399 --> 01:58:00.479
continuously. How about a southern wax
myrtle. If you've got an area that

1595
01:58:00.640 --> 01:58:03.960
can tend to get on the wet
side, which is kind of what's happening

1596
01:58:04.039 --> 01:58:09.199
there now that they built the road. Southern wax myrtle is very tolerant of

1597
01:58:09.680 --> 01:58:14.560
soggy conditions, and you can hedge
it to make a very dense wall of

1598
01:58:14.640 --> 01:58:16.720
foliage if you don't want to see
the road or a little bit of a

1599
01:58:16.880 --> 01:58:21.199
soundblock of it. But that southern
wax myrtle would do really well. There

1600
01:58:23.000 --> 01:58:26.560
Another plant that would do well if
it's really wet is button bush. That

1601
01:58:26.720 --> 01:58:31.520
makes a very large plant. And
it's not evergreen though. Button bush.

1602
01:58:31.960 --> 01:58:34.720
Yes, but button bush. You
said you want it evergreen. It's not

1603
01:58:34.920 --> 01:58:39.560
evergreen. Oh no, it there
has to be evergreen. Yes. I

1604
01:58:39.680 --> 01:58:44.520
have holly in front of the bedroom, right in the front, okay,

1605
01:58:44.800 --> 01:58:48.760
and it's very hardy, but you
know, with people walking by from the

1606
01:58:48.800 --> 01:58:57.000
high school. I don't want the
thorns because it is dangerous even you know

1607
01:58:57.079 --> 01:59:00.880
when we mow and so forth.
Sure, lugly, but I just don't

1608
01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:05.399
think that would be the right thing
to go right up against the sidewalk.

1609
01:59:05.680 --> 01:59:10.079
All right, Well, that I
think I would go with the I'd go

1610
01:59:10.319 --> 01:59:14.439
the Southern Marx myrtle and just sare
it to have better density. That's true

1611
01:59:14.479 --> 01:59:19.000
of any shrub you plant there.
What's the opinion on Laura Peddlum. I

1612
01:59:19.039 --> 01:59:23.720
think Laura, pedlum would be okay, as long as it's not too soggy

1613
01:59:23.840 --> 01:59:29.720
wet in the soil. If that's
going to be an ongoing issue, I

1614
01:59:30.680 --> 01:59:32.079
don't know. I don't lor pedlum
is not going to want to be in

1615
01:59:32.119 --> 01:59:39.239
a swampy condition. No, I
have to water it personally to get it

1616
01:59:39.359 --> 01:59:42.960
wet. Okay, Well, then
it would be fine. Just make sure

1617
01:59:43.319 --> 01:59:47.279
you know that it's it's got a
good a forest floor soil meaning lots of

1618
01:59:47.399 --> 01:59:51.479
compost mixed into the bed, a
real rich soil. Put a good mulch

1619
01:59:51.520 --> 01:59:57.239
over the surface to keep the weeds
away and everything, and then fertilize it

1620
01:59:57.319 --> 02:00:01.920
gradually over time to get it to
grow. Okay, And you mentioned jungle

1621
02:00:02.000 --> 02:00:08.560
Land from Stantons for my containers.
Yes, jungle Land was the one I

1622
02:00:08.680 --> 02:00:12.840
mentioned a minute ago. Okay,
I'm just not familiar with that. Yeah,

1623
02:00:12.880 --> 02:00:17.960
it's just all of the boys,
the boys, Okay, Yeah,

1624
02:00:18.880 --> 02:00:24.840
yeah, jungle Land is a Nitrofis
distributed product, and so they'll they'll have

1625
02:00:24.960 --> 02:00:29.399
it. Okay. I appreciate it, Thank you, Helen. Appreciate that

1626
02:00:29.560 --> 02:00:32.600
call. Take care. Appreciate that
very much. You know, our landscapes

1627
02:00:32.760 --> 02:00:42.000
are really trying to recover right now. And your lawn it's been through heck

1628
02:00:42.199 --> 02:00:45.079
last summer and now here comes spring
and it's ready to grow and you won't

1629
02:00:45.079 --> 02:00:46.920
take care of it. And one
of the best things we can do for

1630
02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:51.560
our lawns when we have a compacted
clay type soil, which we have a

1631
02:00:51.640 --> 02:00:56.720
lot of people do, is to
air rate and to do a compost top

1632
02:00:56.880 --> 02:01:00.039
dressing. And when you air rate
that punt you want to aerator. You

1633
02:01:00.119 --> 02:01:04.359
need somebody professional who knows what they're
doing, and that's green Pro. Green

1634
02:01:04.439 --> 02:01:09.560
Pro has a kind of equipment that'll
pop those little cores of soil out of

1635
02:01:09.600 --> 02:01:13.680
the ground. It gets down deep
enough to do that, provide aeration for

1636
02:01:13.760 --> 02:01:17.119
the root system and organic matter falls
into that. Now green Pro will also

1637
02:01:17.239 --> 02:01:21.640
come out and they will compost top
dress with a fine textured, high quality

1638
02:01:21.720 --> 02:01:25.640
compost. A lot of it will
fall in the holes. So as you

1639
02:01:25.760 --> 02:01:30.079
do this, you're improving the soil, which improves the plant success. It's

1640
02:01:30.119 --> 02:01:34.760
as simple as that. Rather than
having to reside your whole lawn is struggling

1641
02:01:34.800 --> 02:01:40.600
along and not doing well, this
is an investment to do. Have green

1642
02:01:40.680 --> 02:01:45.720
Pro come out and do aeration and
compost top dressing. But it is an

1643
02:01:45.800 --> 02:01:48.239
investment, a lot less expensive than
sodding, for sure, and it'll help.

1644
02:01:48.560 --> 02:01:54.399
They work about forty five miles forty
five minutes away from the Magnolia area.

1645
02:01:54.520 --> 02:01:58.000
So if you're in Cyprus or the
Woodlands, if you're up in Conroe

1646
02:01:58.119 --> 02:02:01.039
or Willis, or in Spring or
out west toward Katie, West Houston,

1647
02:02:01.199 --> 02:02:05.520
or maybe Central and North Houston,
that's the area that greenpro covers. Just

1648
02:02:05.600 --> 02:02:12.000
go to the website greenpro dot net, greenpro dot net. We're going to

1649
02:02:12.079 --> 02:02:15.159
go out to Katie. Now we're
going to talk to Lil Hello, Lil

1650
02:02:15.800 --> 02:02:20.119
good morning, Kif. Sorry,
my spring allergies have really sprung up so

1651
02:02:21.119 --> 02:02:26.239
rather wharse. I've got a number
of issues going on. I've been trying

1652
02:02:26.279 --> 02:02:30.840
to follow your advice and take care
of the brown stuff first, and as

1653
02:02:30.000 --> 02:02:36.359
everyone in Houston, we've had a
ton of acorns that have dropped. Now

1654
02:02:36.399 --> 02:02:42.399
I'm getting the beards, which is
wonderful because i know it's almost over.

1655
02:02:43.399 --> 02:02:48.560
And I've been raking the lawn,
taking off the acorns, removing them off

1656
02:02:48.640 --> 02:02:54.680
the lawn in this area where the
two giant oak trees laid out all these

1657
02:02:54.800 --> 02:03:00.359
acorns. I also developed a little
bit of a lot of the take all

1658
02:03:00.479 --> 02:03:04.560
patch. Okay, So my yard
is trying to recover and I'm scheduled to

1659
02:03:04.680 --> 02:03:14.079
have areation done on Monday by professional
good It's which is great, and we

1660
02:03:14.239 --> 02:03:17.640
want to mow the lawn and break
up. We want to follow your advice

1661
02:03:17.840 --> 02:03:23.920
first. Okay, Well, if
you go ahead and get the aeration done,

1662
02:03:24.039 --> 02:03:27.199
if you know you have take all, if that's been confirmed, you

1663
02:03:27.359 --> 02:03:31.359
probably need to go ahead with a
fungicide to treat it and to make it

1664
02:03:31.600 --> 02:03:35.239
fast and easy for you as my
time, as we're in a little short

1665
02:03:35.319 --> 02:03:41.359
this hour, if you will go
to my website Gardening with Skip dot com

1666
02:03:41.560 --> 02:03:46.960
Gardening with Skip dot com the lawn
pest disease and weed management schedules there and

1667
02:03:47.119 --> 02:03:51.560
it tells you exactly what times of
the year to treat for take all root

1668
02:03:51.640 --> 02:03:57.640
rot, and then it gives you
the fungicides that I would recommend by ingredients.

1669
02:03:58.000 --> 02:04:00.760
Okay, so go ahead and doay, go ahead and do that treatment.

1670
02:04:00.880 --> 02:04:04.319
Now. The most important treatment is
going to be this October. You

1671
02:04:04.479 --> 02:04:09.560
want to put the takeoff treatment on
again in October, but go ahead and

1672
02:04:09.600 --> 02:04:14.680
get it okay. Now, okay, well it's already done. How tall

1673
02:04:14.720 --> 02:04:19.119
should we mow the lawn before the
areation, no specific height. The taller

1674
02:04:19.199 --> 02:04:23.239
your lawn is, the deeper rooted
it is, and the better chance it

1675
02:04:23.319 --> 02:04:28.239
has to collect sunlight and develop good
strength. So don't mow too short if

1676
02:04:28.279 --> 02:04:32.479
you can short, is it Saint
Augustine? Right? Yes it is.

1677
02:04:33.159 --> 02:04:38.960
Should I use the clipping patcher or
not? No, no return the clippings.

1678
02:04:39.159 --> 02:04:42.840
That's organic matter that covers the surface
too. If you can set that

1679
02:04:43.000 --> 02:04:45.640
mowar at about three inches high,
that would be pretty good for Saint Augustine.

1680
02:04:46.119 --> 02:04:49.479
It can go a little a little
higher in the shape. All right,

1681
02:04:49.840 --> 02:04:55.119
I hear the I got to run, Sorry to have to run on

1682
02:04:55.239 --> 02:04:59.279
you there. You've been listening to
guard Line. Wow, this hour went

1683
02:04:59.720 --> 02:05:05.359
back too fast. Holy cow,
it's already nine o'clock. At ten o'clock,

1684
02:05:05.520 --> 02:05:09.600
this show's over, and I'm gonna
jump in the car and head up

1685
02:05:09.720 --> 02:05:13.960
to Cyprus, Texas to the Home
and Garden Show, the SCIFAI Home and

1686
02:05:14.000 --> 02:05:17.079
Garden Show. They have free parking, they have free admission. How do

1687
02:05:17.159 --> 02:05:20.159
you beat that. I'll be there, given a talk. I will be

1688
02:05:20.239 --> 02:05:25.039
there answering your gardening questions. Bring
some samples, all of you that listen

1689
02:05:25.399 --> 02:05:29.439
anywhere up in that area. Let's
just say the Northwest region. Come on

1690
02:05:29.560 --> 02:05:32.319
out to Cipher Home and Garden Show. Bring me some pictures and bring samples

1691
02:05:32.359 --> 02:05:34.920
and bags. We'll take a look
at them, we'll diagnose them. I'm

1692
02:05:34.920 --> 02:05:41.199
gonna be given away Nelson plant food
free samples out there, so you definitely

1693
02:05:41.239 --> 02:05:44.479
want to show up so you may
be one of the lucky ones to receive

1694
02:05:44.760 --> 02:05:50.760
one of those Nelson plant food samples. KATRH Garden Line does not necessarily endorse

1696
02:05:57.920 --> 02:06:15.439
Line with Skip directors just watching as
the world God, there are so many

1697
02:06:15.560 --> 02:06:24.560
good tastes. Welcome back to the
Garden Line on a beautiful Saturday, a

1698
02:06:24.680 --> 02:06:28.520
great day for gardening, a great
day to get out and get some soil

1699
02:06:28.640 --> 02:06:33.079
building products and get some plants to
be able to enhance your gardens and your

1700
02:06:33.159 --> 02:06:38.960
landscapes. You know, it's it's
real easy to take care of your lawn

1701
02:06:39.079 --> 02:06:44.920
when you got products from nitrofoss available
like Superturf super Turf, it's a no

1702
02:06:45.039 --> 02:06:47.760
brainer. It's a slow release fertilizer. It's going to gradually feed your lawn

1703
02:06:47.840 --> 02:06:53.920
over the next three months and it's
got a great blend of nutrients and that

1704
02:06:54.119 --> 02:06:58.119
nitrogen in there. Due to the
chemistries of how it's designed, microbes get

1705
02:06:58.159 --> 02:07:02.079
in, they release the nitrogen overtime, warm moist soil. It just keeps

1706
02:07:02.159 --> 02:07:06.159
releasing and it just feeds and feeds. That is the easy one too to

1707
02:07:06.279 --> 02:07:12.119
pick out in the store because it's
a silver bag, the silver bag nitrofoss

1708
02:07:12.600 --> 02:07:15.760
superturf for your lawn. You're gonna
have success with it. All it takes

1709
02:07:15.840 --> 02:07:19.840
is about five pounds per thousand square
feet as a good rate to put that

1710
02:07:19.880 --> 02:07:23.439
out. You can put a little
heavier if you want, but you just

1711
02:07:23.560 --> 02:07:26.720
get it out there, get it
on the ground, let it start releasing,

1712
02:07:27.079 --> 02:07:30.960
and it gradually feeds your lawn like
your lawn feeds or like it eats.

1713
02:07:31.079 --> 02:07:35.840
If you will gradually a little every
day, that's nitrophos super turf does

1714
02:07:36.039 --> 02:07:40.279
just that. I'm going to head
out and now to the woodlands and talk

1715
02:07:40.359 --> 02:07:44.920
to Bill. Hello Bill, Hello, Skip, good morning, Good morning.

1716
02:07:45.119 --> 02:07:49.399
Hey. I'm just trying to determine
if the adage better late than never

1717
02:07:49.520 --> 02:07:55.840
applies. I know you're typically supposed
to cut back the Craig Myrtles on Valentine's

1718
02:07:55.880 --> 02:07:59.199
Day around that time, and I
have not done it yet, and it's

1719
02:07:59.239 --> 02:08:03.279
already got some leaves on it,
and just trying to decide should I go

1720
02:08:03.359 --> 02:08:07.079
ahead and still do it or waste
till next year. Yes, you can

1721
02:08:07.159 --> 02:08:09.479
do that, go ahead and get
it done a sap. Any pruning you

1722
02:08:09.560 --> 02:08:13.680
need to do, don't do the
butcher job everybody else does. Just cut

1723
02:08:13.720 --> 02:08:18.119
a branch back to where it joins
another side branch and you can you can

1724
02:08:18.720 --> 02:08:24.560
lower the height of them that way
without stubbing everything off like like okay,

1725
02:08:24.680 --> 02:08:26.359
So even if it has the leaves
on it the size of the walnuts,

1726
02:08:26.399 --> 02:08:28.760
it's good to go, like I
find to go. It's better if you

1727
02:08:28.840 --> 02:08:33.039
didn't, I guess I should say. I'll say it's okay to print now

1728
02:08:33.119 --> 02:08:37.520
if you promise next year to print
in the winter time. It is not.

1729
02:08:39.039 --> 02:08:41.039
It's not going to kill your plant
at all. It's just better to

1730
02:08:41.159 --> 02:08:46.359
have it use that stored energy that
it just used to push out those leaves

1731
02:08:46.880 --> 02:08:48.680
to have it, yeah, not
have that removed and now it has to

1732
02:08:48.760 --> 02:08:52.960
do it again, but it'll be
okay, okay, great. And the

1733
02:08:52.119 --> 02:08:56.159
one last thing. The branches are
real spindly, like thin is that normal.

1734
02:08:58.319 --> 02:09:01.720
It can be, especially under low
light conditions, and some varieties the

1735
02:09:01.840 --> 02:09:05.680
growth habit can vary between great myrtle
varieties a little bit, but little twiggy

1736
02:09:05.720 --> 02:09:11.640
stuff we usually trim away, especially
the stuff smaller than a pencil, you

1737
02:09:11.720 --> 02:09:13.520
know, if it's down in and
among the plant, just preen that all

1738
02:09:13.560 --> 02:09:18.520
out. But all right, sir, thank you, good luck with that.

1739
02:09:18.600 --> 02:09:22.439
Appreciate it, thank you, you
bet, you bet. I was

1740
02:09:22.520 --> 02:09:26.840
at Buchanan's Nursery, which is on
eleven Street in the Heights, so those

1741
02:09:26.960 --> 02:09:30.119
who haven't been there, and by
the way, for those of you who

1742
02:09:30.199 --> 02:09:33.199
haven't been there, you gotta go
Buchanans, I said, Buchanan's Nursery.

1743
02:09:33.239 --> 02:09:39.720
It's really called Buchan's Native Plants because
that is the big thing that they do

1744
02:09:41.079 --> 02:09:43.760
that they focus on. That you
can find native plants you're not gonna find

1745
02:09:43.800 --> 02:09:48.840
anywhere else, like Kella loafus,
which is sun drops, very low growing

1746
02:09:48.239 --> 02:09:54.399
native perennial plant, buttery yellow blooms
from spring into summer, very drought resistant,

1747
02:09:54.520 --> 02:09:58.760
takes full sun, does not it
only gets less than a foot high.

1748
02:09:58.479 --> 02:10:01.640
Just a beautiful plant. But that's
just an example. I mean,

1749
02:10:01.800 --> 02:10:05.399
Buchanans has a wide variety of other
plants. By the way, Easter Egg

1750
02:10:05.479 --> 02:10:11.560
Hunt is next Saturday the thirtieth at
eight thirty am for kids ten and under.

1751
02:10:13.279 --> 02:10:16.239
Now they're going to card this kid. Don't try to bring don't you

1752
02:10:16.439 --> 02:10:20.199
go and say you're a kid at
heart and expect to be part of the

1753
02:10:20.560 --> 02:10:24.960
Easter egg hu. It's for kids
ten and under Saturday the thirtieth, eight

1754
02:10:24.079 --> 02:10:26.840
thirty am. They always have a
good time with that is that is a

1755
02:10:26.880 --> 02:10:31.279
big event there. They've got boogainvillias
and Mendovilla's in. If you've never grown

1756
02:10:31.279 --> 02:10:37.159
a mandevilla and you want tropic color
and beauty and red and white and pink

1757
02:10:37.439 --> 02:10:41.479
on your patio or wherever they'll get
you set up, you gotta try the

1758
02:10:41.600 --> 02:10:48.039
Mandevilla's there gorgeous and of course things
like jungle Jack's plumeria. Another reason to

1759
02:10:48.119 --> 02:10:52.479
go to Buchanan's Native Plants in the
Heights area on Eleventh Street, easy to

1760
02:10:52.520 --> 02:10:56.680
find. We're going to run now
out to Randy in League City. Hello

1761
02:10:56.840 --> 02:11:03.159
Randy. All right, Hey,
I have some potted pepper plants and I'm

1762
02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:09.000
using spinosad to prevent leaf miners.
Okay, but one thing I've noticed when

1763
02:11:09.039 --> 02:11:13.000
I spray the spinosad on it,
it tends to beat up and run off.

1764
02:11:13.920 --> 02:11:16.880
Should I add a surfactant to the
spino sad? And will it,

1765
02:11:18.560 --> 02:11:24.359
you know, dilute the spino sad? No, theurfactant won't dilute it.

1766
02:11:24.520 --> 02:11:28.479
You follow the label. Spinocid still
gets mixed at the same rate per gallon

1767
02:11:28.920 --> 02:11:33.039
as does the surfactant. And yes, that will help it stick a little

1768
02:11:33.079 --> 02:11:37.039
bit better, which is important if
you want to try to control those Yeah,

1769
02:11:37.079 --> 02:11:39.720
it seems to beat right off when
I spray it. Yeah, pepper

1770
02:11:39.760 --> 02:11:43.159
is a little bit of a glossy
leaf. But yeah, put a little

1771
02:11:43.159 --> 02:11:50.399
surfactan in there. That'll be an
extra benefit. Anyone you recommend now,

1772
02:11:50.760 --> 02:11:54.479
they're all pretty good. I mean
people use everything. Surfactants basically amount to

1773
02:11:56.039 --> 02:11:58.840
like a few drops the dish soap. I mean they instead of the water

1774
02:12:00.239 --> 02:12:03.239
standing up in a little like a
ball or on the leaf and then rolling

1775
02:12:03.319 --> 02:12:07.479
off, it flattens it out so
you get better coverage and better sticking.

1776
02:12:09.039 --> 02:12:11.840
And the same reason we put a
soap with which is a surfactant, on

1777
02:12:11.920 --> 02:12:16.640
our hands to get rid of grease
is the same reason that you would use

1778
02:12:16.680 --> 02:12:20.680
it on those plants to make it
stick to the leaf better. Okay,

1779
02:12:20.800 --> 02:12:24.720
thanks all right, Randy, good
luck with that. Just remember half the

1780
02:12:24.920 --> 02:12:26.880
peppers you produce. We would love
to have you drop off here at the

1781
02:12:26.920 --> 02:12:30.439
station. That's all we ask.
I mean, is that too much to

1782
02:12:30.520 --> 02:12:33.880
ask? Free advice? Just half
your produce sounds like? Sounds reasonable to

1783
02:12:35.000 --> 02:12:39.239
me? Yes, it would to
me. I'm getting the peppers. Nature's

1784
02:12:39.319 --> 02:12:46.239
very resources. I'll just say they
are the grandfather of soil products, quality

1785
02:12:46.439 --> 02:12:52.520
soil products. Why do I mean
that? Because John Ferguson years ago invented

1786
02:12:52.920 --> 02:12:58.560
rose soil, invented leaf more compost. He knows how to do it.

1787
02:12:58.640 --> 02:13:03.640
He's a soil scientist, really is. And John knows how to create the

1788
02:13:03.800 --> 02:13:07.279
quality compost for every need that you
might have. Just go tell them,

1789
02:13:07.319 --> 02:13:11.159
hey, I'm gonna grow blueberries or
azaleas, or I'm gonna grow you know,

1790
02:13:11.520 --> 02:13:16.319
herbs and vegetables or fly what do
I need? Well, he'll get

1791
02:13:16.319 --> 02:13:18.079
you fixed up with that. That
is what they do. John and Ian

1792
02:13:20.039 --> 02:13:24.960
have really continued to just grow that
place. The roses are about to bust

1793
02:13:24.039 --> 02:13:30.760
out into blooms. They have an
excellent supply of leaf mold composts. They

1794
02:13:30.840 --> 02:13:35.159
make a very finely screened leaf mold
compost. You put it over your lawn,

1795
02:13:35.720 --> 02:13:39.399
you water it in and it helps
protect the lawn. It does a

1796
02:13:39.479 --> 02:13:43.199
number of things. Number one,
it's biologically very active, and so you

1797
02:13:43.399 --> 02:13:48.760
create a plant's surface with a lot
of good microbes where it's difficult for a

1798
02:13:48.840 --> 02:13:54.039
bad microbe like a brown patch,
for example, funga to get established and

1799
02:13:54.359 --> 02:13:58.760
to do the damage that they do. The product's not a fung aside.

1800
02:13:58.840 --> 02:14:03.239
It just out popped with good microbes. That is what Leithmoal compos does,

1801
02:14:03.359 --> 02:14:07.600
and John makes it, and he
makes a thousand different composts, I mean,

1802
02:14:07.840 --> 02:14:11.079
really really lots of products. We're
talking about things in bags that you

1803
02:14:11.159 --> 02:14:13.880
can buy at a store and take
home, or buy there and take home.

1804
02:14:15.239 --> 02:14:18.520
We're talking about bulk that they can
deliver or you can go get out

1805
02:14:18.560 --> 02:14:24.039
a Nature's Way which is on Highway
forty five north almost conro Up forty five

1806
02:14:24.239 --> 02:14:26.479
on the right hand side. Phone
number. You need to write this down

1807
02:14:26.600 --> 02:14:31.640
nine three six three two one sixty
nine to ninety. I'll be right back.

1808
02:14:33.000 --> 02:14:37.880
Two things that money can't buy true
love and home grown tomatoes. That

1809
02:14:37.199 --> 02:14:41.239
is foresure. Hey, if you're
planting tomatoes, if you're planting rose,

1810
02:14:41.319 --> 02:14:46.560
bushes, flowers, herbs, anything
has to grow six twelve six. By

1811
02:14:46.640 --> 02:14:52.640
Medina has to grow six twelve six. I use it myself always when I'm

1812
02:14:52.640 --> 02:14:56.159
transplanting. Now you can use it
as folier feed. You can use it

1813
02:14:56.359 --> 02:15:00.279
when a plant has been established for
a while, that's fine. But a

1814
02:15:00.319 --> 02:15:03.279
new plant in the ground, you
got to get those roots going into the

1815
02:15:03.359 --> 02:15:07.600
ground established so the plant can take
off running. And I'll mix up the

1816
02:15:07.640 --> 02:15:09.960
has to grow. Put it in
a watering can. Water the new transplant

1817
02:15:11.039 --> 02:15:13.720
in, do it again a week
later, and again a week after that.

1818
02:15:13.199 --> 02:15:18.279
That three three times over a period
of two weeks has to grow six

1819
02:15:18.399 --> 02:15:20.079
twelve six. We'll get that plant
off to a good start. It's got

1820
02:15:20.119 --> 02:15:24.439
a lot of biological activity. It's
got Medina soil activator, it's got humic

1821
02:15:24.560 --> 02:15:28.560
acid, and it's got seaweed extracts, all the things that are going to

1822
02:15:28.640 --> 02:15:33.119
help that root system get established.
Medina has to grow widely available like all

1823
02:15:33.199 --> 02:15:41.119
Medina products, and I wouldn't consider
transplanting without a nice concoction of the Medina

1824
02:15:41.199 --> 02:15:43.880
has to grow to get them off
to a good start. We're gonna go

1825
02:15:43.920 --> 02:15:46.640
out to Kingwood now and we're going
to talk to Bob. Hello, Bob

1826
02:15:48.600 --> 02:15:52.840
Hello, My question is I got
a raised garden bed I put together.

1827
02:15:52.920 --> 02:15:56.760
It's one of those metal one skip
that's yes, seventeen inches high, six

1828
02:15:56.840 --> 02:16:01.760
foot long and two foot while okay, and so it's got an open bottom.

1829
02:16:01.840 --> 02:16:05.840
Obviously it's a metal one I screwed
together. So I have some Miracle

1830
02:16:05.920 --> 02:16:13.439
Grow garden soil with compost costco hat
on seal. Actually, let me back

1831
02:16:13.520 --> 02:16:18.680
up. That is about eighteen cubic
feet that raised garden bed. And so

1832
02:16:18.960 --> 02:16:24.359
then I have some of this stuff
called or Beyond Pete Biofiber Professional Organics.

1833
02:16:26.000 --> 02:16:28.359
So that stuff I already bought,
but I ain't put the dirt in yet.

1834
02:16:28.439 --> 02:16:31.959
So and then I even bought two
bags of sand. So I just

1835
02:16:33.079 --> 02:16:35.440
mentioned what I got. You tell
me what I should do, and if

1836
02:16:35.479 --> 02:16:39.000
I have to return any of that
other stuff well which I put in there.

1837
02:16:39.079 --> 02:16:43.399
You know, if I were buying
from scratch, i'd probably get a

1838
02:16:43.440 --> 02:16:48.000
different product, like airlom soils Veggie
and herb Blend is a really good one

1839
02:16:48.120 --> 02:16:54.079
for that. What's that again,
airloom soil Veggie and herb Blend. Veggie

1840
02:16:54.120 --> 02:16:58.920
and herb Blend, that is a
good one. For vegetables you can make

1841
02:17:00.079 --> 02:17:01.920
at work with the stuff you have. I realize that's a lot of stuff

1842
02:17:03.000 --> 02:17:05.600
to haul back, you know,
and return. So I don't want to

1843
02:17:05.600 --> 02:17:09.360
tell you have to go do that. But if you choose, I'm stubborn,

1844
02:17:09.399 --> 02:17:13.040
I wouldn't I wouldn't do I wouldn't
mind doing it. I'm stubborn.

1845
02:17:13.399 --> 02:17:16.840
Well, I like our local soils
with people that we know that are making

1846
02:17:18.079 --> 02:17:20.959
here locally, and so I don't
know what's in some of the bags of

1847
02:17:22.040 --> 02:17:24.200
this other stuff, and so that
that's kind of what I'm saying. I'm

1848
02:17:24.239 --> 02:17:28.159
not telling you you can't grow plants
in it. Of course, that heirloom

1849
02:17:28.239 --> 02:17:30.760
is that in bags? Are you
talking going to a store, I mean

1850
02:17:30.840 --> 02:17:33.360
a landscaping place and killing up big
well, either one. Either one.

1851
02:17:33.520 --> 02:17:37.920
But the soil yard is in Porter, so it's just down the street from

1852
02:17:37.000 --> 02:17:43.079
you and for you to get they
could bring and dump some off, you

1853
02:17:43.159 --> 02:17:45.719
know, in your driveway and you
could shovel it around, or you could

1854
02:17:45.760 --> 02:17:50.840
just go get a bunch of bags. But heirlooms sold in garden centers everywhere.

1855
02:17:50.319 --> 02:17:52.799
So what's that place in Porter?
What's the name of that one?

1856
02:17:54.120 --> 02:17:58.440
Warren's Rock and mult it's on the
right hand side as you exit going in.

1857
02:17:58.600 --> 02:18:01.520
I know them, yeah, warrant. Well I got stuff down those

1858
02:18:01.559 --> 02:18:03.920
places before, and I'm thinking,
well, you know there's going to be

1859
02:18:05.040 --> 02:18:07.639
dead rats, tires and old trees
in that stuff. You know, never,

1860
02:18:09.440 --> 02:18:11.600
never in airloom soils will you have
that kind of stuff. This is

1861
02:18:11.600 --> 02:18:15.760
a high quality operation. I've been
there myself. I've worked with them,

1862
02:18:15.840 --> 02:18:20.799
talked to them for years. They
don't do that. They the Veggiane nerd

1863
02:18:20.879 --> 02:18:22.520
mix, whether you buy bulk or
in bags, is going to be a

1864
02:18:22.559 --> 02:18:26.360
good one. Okay. Now if
I do go with the AIRLM, go

1865
02:18:26.399 --> 02:18:28.959
ahead, walk me through the layers. Put sand down first, kill the

1866
02:18:30.000 --> 02:18:31.920
grass. What's underneath there first?
Right? What kind of grass do you

1867
02:18:31.959 --> 02:18:35.399
have? Saint Augustine. Well,
there's a little bit of Saint Augustine back

1868
02:18:35.440 --> 02:18:37.840
here, so can I just choke
that out? Or you don't need to

1869
02:18:37.879 --> 02:18:41.040
do anything. Saint Augustine. If
you covered up with about even four to

1870
02:18:41.120 --> 02:18:46.239
six inches of material, it's going
to die underneath there. Okay, it

1871
02:18:46.280 --> 02:18:50.479
would come through, so I would
ignore. Just lay the bed, set

1872
02:18:50.520 --> 02:18:52.319
the bed down on the grass.
Don't even worry about killing the grass,

1873
02:18:52.719 --> 02:18:58.879
and don't mix anything. That is
why the Veggie nerd mix is already mixed

1874
02:18:58.920 --> 02:19:01.239
and made to be the only thing
you put in that bed. It's all

1875
02:19:01.319 --> 02:19:07.920
you need. You do not need
sand. No pete, no pete,

1876
02:19:07.280 --> 02:19:15.280
pete. Veggie and Orbis has better
organic material than pete. Well, after

1877
02:19:15.399 --> 02:19:16.840
talking to you, I might just
take all that stuff back. I mean

1878
02:19:18.360 --> 02:19:20.559
a big deal. Well, that's
your yard. I'll leave you up.

1879
02:19:20.680 --> 02:19:24.399
I'll leave that up to you.
But yeah, just make sure when you

1880
02:19:24.520 --> 02:19:26.840
put it in there, you mound
it up. I'll tell you what,

1881
02:19:28.440 --> 02:19:31.440
do you have a pin or pencil
handy? I'm right. All the stuff

1882
02:19:31.479 --> 02:19:37.920
that we'rek fro go to the website
Heirloom Soils of Texas dot com. There

1883
02:19:37.040 --> 02:19:41.920
is a calculator there that will allow
you to know exactly how much you need.

1884
02:19:43.079 --> 02:19:46.239
And I would give it enough to
mound it up a little higher because

1885
02:19:46.360 --> 02:19:48.959
any kind of a fresh new soil
is going to settle, any kind is

1886
02:19:50.040 --> 02:19:52.399
going to settle after you first put
it in, So just have some extra

1887
02:19:52.479 --> 02:19:56.879
on hand to top it off.
Heirloom Soils of Texas website dot com.

1888
02:19:58.440 --> 02:20:01.239
Look for that. Hey, real
quick, if if I did chicking out

1889
02:20:01.319 --> 02:20:05.159
and not do that, if I
did decide to go with what I had,

1890
02:20:05.239 --> 02:20:09.079
the Miracle Grow compost, and then
I have stuff called just just for

1891
02:20:09.200 --> 02:20:15.719
It kicks biofiber professional organics. It's
called Beyond Peak. You hear that.

1892
02:20:16.239 --> 02:20:18.760
I don't know that product it's gonna
be. There's several different things that could

1893
02:20:18.799 --> 02:20:22.799
be coconut core. They also make
a product where they take manure slurries like

1894
02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:28.120
cattle manure, and they spin it
out to get all the little fiber portions

1895
02:20:28.200 --> 02:20:31.200
out of it, and they make
a material out of that. I don't

1896
02:20:31.239 --> 02:20:35.559
know that particular product, doesn't matter. Just mix them all together and that

1897
02:20:35.600 --> 02:20:39.159
would be another option. But go
ahead, mixed that, mixed that Beyond

1898
02:20:39.239 --> 02:20:45.760
Pete with that Miracle Grow and you
could you could. I just you're talking

1899
02:20:45.799 --> 02:20:48.600
about a concoction there that I don't
know what is in all of those things,

1900
02:20:48.680 --> 02:20:52.719
so it got rather than you know. I don't know how to advise

1901
02:20:52.760 --> 02:20:56.239
you past that, but I do
appreciate the call, and thank you very

1902
02:20:56.319 --> 02:21:00.680
much in good luck getting that garden
set up. I appreciate that you would

1903
02:21:00.680 --> 02:21:03.559
call about that. If you're dealing
with weeds in your lawn, the reason

1904
02:21:03.639 --> 02:21:07.799
you have them is because the long
got thin last summer the heat and the

1905
02:21:07.920 --> 02:21:11.520
drought denned out the lawn and sunlight
hits the soil and here comes the weeds.

1906
02:21:11.600 --> 02:21:15.760
Weed's eat are in your lawns.
They're out there. They just don't

1907
02:21:15.799 --> 02:21:18.639
have a chance to get started until
they get some good sunlight. Barricade shuts

1908
02:21:18.680 --> 02:21:22.319
that down. If you're going to
do it, you don't want to delay

1909
02:21:22.399 --> 02:21:26.639
any longer. It's warming up and
warm season, weeds are going to be

1910
02:21:26.719 --> 02:21:31.000
germinating. You put the barricade down
at the label rate. It doesn't take

1911
02:21:31.120 --> 02:21:35.760
much. A ten pound bag will
cover up to five thousand square feet about

1912
02:21:35.760 --> 02:21:37.799
a third of an inch of water
just to move the barricade down to the

1913
02:21:37.879 --> 02:21:41.280
soil, and that's where it goes
to work. And after it is in

1914
02:21:41.440 --> 02:21:45.559
the soil, we call that incorporating
it into the soil. After it's in

1915
02:21:45.719 --> 02:21:48.479
the soil, a weed tries to
germinate and it just can't get started.

1916
02:21:48.959 --> 02:21:56.799
Barricade is available everywhere you find the
products from Nitropos, which is everwhere,

1917
02:21:56.920 --> 02:21:58.520
right, So where do you find
it? Well, how about going to

1918
02:21:58.559 --> 02:22:03.840
Ashar where it's single ranch. How
about heading out to taske asda Ace,

1919
02:22:03.159 --> 02:22:07.319
how about going to Gym's Hardware I'm
up up in Montgomery. All of those

1920
02:22:07.360 --> 02:22:09.760
are going to carry this product.
Makes it real, easy to find,

1921
02:22:11.639 --> 02:22:18.600
easy to use, works well.
Does it does its job? This wet

1922
02:22:18.840 --> 02:22:24.200
conditions is causing our black clay soils
to expand that's what clay soils, especially

1923
02:22:24.239 --> 02:22:28.360
our Houston black clay does. Now
what happens when it gets dry? It

1924
02:22:28.520 --> 02:22:31.040
shrinks. That's why you get those
giant cracks. What does that do to

1925
02:22:31.120 --> 02:22:35.719
a driveway? What does that do
to a sidewalk? What does that do

1926
02:22:35.879 --> 02:22:39.840
to a home foundation? I think
you know the answer. You want somebody

1927
02:22:39.879 --> 02:22:43.399
that knows what they're doing to come
in and to assess it right, so

1928
02:22:43.440 --> 02:22:48.120
they don't say something you don't need. Secondly to fix it right. And

1929
02:22:48.280 --> 02:22:52.600
in the middle there I should say
and be on time. That's fixed my

1930
02:22:52.719 --> 02:22:56.040
slab. Ty Strickland with fix my
slab. They show up on time,

1931
02:22:56.360 --> 02:23:00.159
they give you a fair price,
and they fix it right. You can

1932
02:23:00.200 --> 02:23:03.159
go to the website fix myslab dot
com, fix myslab dot com, or

1933
02:23:03.239 --> 02:23:09.079
you can call him two eight one
two five five forty nine forty nine.

1934
02:23:09.120 --> 02:23:11.879
Listen, if you got cracks in
the brick on the outside, if you

1935
02:23:11.000 --> 02:23:15.760
got splits in the sheet rock,
cracks in the sheet rock on the inside,

1936
02:23:15.799 --> 02:23:18.799
if you got a door that's sticking, those are all signs that something

1937
02:23:18.879 --> 02:23:22.879
has shifted and you need to have
them come out and take a look.

1938
02:23:22.920 --> 02:23:26.360
If you tell them you're a guardenline
listener, the estimate that they do is

1939
02:23:26.440 --> 02:23:28.680
for free. They don't charge you
for that. But I'm telling you this.

1940
02:23:28.840 --> 02:23:33.680
I've sat down at length and talked
to Ty and grilled him on all

1941
02:23:33.719 --> 02:23:37.879
the questions I had about foundation repair, and I was very impressed with the

1942
02:23:37.000 --> 02:23:41.959
knowledge and having been around in the
business now twenty three years, he's seen

1943
02:23:43.000 --> 02:23:46.319
a foundation or two and he knows
how to do it. He's a native,

1944
02:23:46.399 --> 02:23:50.479
he's Stonian. He's a fifth generation
Texan. Ty Strickland. To fix

1945
02:23:50.559 --> 02:23:54.280
my slab foundation repair, just go
to the website fix myslab dot com or

1946
02:23:54.360 --> 02:23:58.840
call him two eight one two FI
five forty nine forty nine. They will

1947
02:23:58.840 --> 02:24:05.479
get it you set up. I
was talking earlier to someone who was telling

1948
02:24:05.559 --> 02:24:09.440
me they'd heard me talk about jungle
land potting soil. Well, what is

1949
02:24:09.520 --> 02:24:13.879
that. Well, it's two things. It's the indoor soil which contains crystals

1950
02:24:13.920 --> 02:24:18.399
that hold water. It's a little
polymer type crystal and as the soil dries

1951
02:24:18.440 --> 02:24:22.120
out, that crystal hangs onto water
better and the roots will grow right up

1952
02:24:22.159 --> 02:24:26.879
against those crystals and they can draw
from that water. When you forget the

1953
02:24:26.959 --> 02:24:28.879
water. I know you never forget
that, but some people do. But

1954
02:24:30.000 --> 02:24:33.559
when you forget, it makes it
more forgiving on the outside. Jungle Land

1955
02:24:33.639 --> 02:24:39.120
flour and vegetable potting soil. Flour
and vegetable potting soil that works on anything.

1956
02:24:39.159 --> 02:24:43.239
It should say flowers and vegetables and
herbs, and you name it.

1957
02:24:43.719 --> 02:24:46.440
If you want a boost of color, if you want to boost the productivity

1958
02:24:46.600 --> 02:24:52.360
of your vegetable plants, jungle land
will do just that. Now, where

1959
02:24:52.360 --> 02:24:54.159
do you buy jungle land. You
buy it Shades of Texas up in the

1960
02:24:54.200 --> 02:24:58.639
Woodlands. You can buy it in
chinned Gardens. Down in the Richmond Rosenberg.

1961
02:25:00.239 --> 02:25:03.440
You can buy it at either of
the Fishers Hardware Southeastern or Report ones

1962
02:25:03.520 --> 02:25:09.719
on Southmore Ones on Broadway Street.
Fisher's Hardware they carry jungle land as well.

1963
02:25:09.040 --> 02:25:13.920
Makes it easy easy to find and
the stuff works. That is important.

1964
02:25:15.159 --> 02:25:18.319
You know. I do talk about
brown stuff before green stuff all the

1965
02:25:18.399 --> 02:25:24.120
time because it does matter. It
matters that you get the soil right,

1966
02:25:24.200 --> 02:25:28.879
whether it's soil and a container or
soil in a planting bed. You get

1967
02:25:28.959 --> 02:25:31.200
that right, and it may every
I think you have a green thumb.

1968
02:25:31.559 --> 02:25:35.479
And what you really did is you
gave those plant roots what they want to

1969
02:25:35.639 --> 02:25:43.600
grow and to thrive. That is
an important important thing to remember. When

1970
02:25:43.719 --> 02:25:48.399
was the last time that you were
out at Nelson Water Garden? Nelson Water

1971
02:25:48.479 --> 02:25:52.239
Gardens out there in Katie, boil
Boy, now there. Water gardens is

1972
02:25:52.319 --> 02:25:54.959
a specialty. I mean, do
you want a coy pond? Do you

1973
02:25:56.079 --> 02:26:01.040
want any kinds of exotic I can't
even say it, lily pads? Thank

1974
02:26:01.079 --> 02:26:05.159
you, Nikki. I need to
remember the beautiful flowers, the tropical types,

1975
02:26:05.319 --> 02:26:09.680
the types that are cold hardy.
They have those two. They've got

1976
02:26:09.719 --> 02:26:13.479
the fish like koy and shabunkin.
They've got a garden center. So do

1977
02:26:13.520 --> 02:26:16.440
you want herbs? I bought herbs
are one time. They got all kinds

1978
02:26:16.440 --> 02:26:20.520
of plants there and the most my
favorite thing there are the waterfalls and the

1979
02:26:20.600 --> 02:26:26.760
disappearing fountains that come out of a
container and you just go and see them.

1980
02:26:26.200 --> 02:26:31.079
They are at in Katie. You
go out to Katie, you go

1981
02:26:31.319 --> 02:26:35.000
north on Katie Fort Ben Road,
just a stones throwaway. You really need

1982
02:26:35.079 --> 02:26:39.559
to go. This is a showplace, this is a destination. It is

1983
02:26:39.719 --> 02:26:43.520
so inspirational. Look at the water
that they have at Nelson Water Gardens,

1984
02:26:43.959 --> 02:26:46.200
look at the features. Wow.
All I can say is wow. Well,

1985
02:26:46.239 --> 02:26:48.920
I'm gonna turn it over to Nicky, who is going to give you

1986
02:26:50.000 --> 02:26:52.280
some news that'll make you say wow. Is that it or oh my goodness,

1987
02:26:52.799 --> 02:26:58.079
Oh my goodness. We'll be right
back. Welcome back to Guardline.

1988
02:26:58.120 --> 02:27:01.840
Good to have you with us today. This is the time of year when

1989
02:27:01.920 --> 02:27:07.760
we get our lawns set up for
success this summer, and that starts with

1990
02:27:07.840 --> 02:27:11.360
a quality fertilizer. And that would
be, for example, a Microlife green

1991
02:27:11.559 --> 02:27:16.319
bag that's a six two four.
Microlife has a lot of fertilizers, but

1992
02:27:16.440 --> 02:27:18.959
the example of the green bag is
the one I think that would do the

1993
02:27:20.079 --> 02:27:26.319
best for your lawn. The six
percent nightgen, four percent phosphorus and excuse

1994
02:27:26.399 --> 02:27:30.680
me, let me try that again. Six percent nitrogen, two percent phosphorus,

1995
02:27:30.799 --> 02:27:35.559
four percent potassium is a good start
to get that lawn out and growing.

1996
02:27:35.319 --> 02:27:41.520
It contains all the other nutrients as
well because it's made with organic materials.

1997
02:27:41.760 --> 02:27:46.159
So if it was once a plant
and now it has been converted into

1998
02:27:46.239 --> 02:27:50.520
a fertilizer product through a number of
different ways, including the microbial activity.

1999
02:27:50.840 --> 02:27:54.440
Well, there you go. You're
ready to go and providing that plant not

2000
02:27:54.639 --> 02:27:58.040
just three numbers, but all the
numbers that it needs. If you add

2001
02:27:58.079 --> 02:28:03.760
to that the purple Microlife humates plus. What is humate, Well, you

2002
02:28:03.840 --> 02:28:07.719
start with organic matter and you decompose
it, and you have compost, and

2003
02:28:07.879 --> 02:28:13.239
you let the compost go to its
final and full stage. That's called humus.

2004
02:28:13.840 --> 02:28:18.399
I like to refer to it as
concentrated compost in a bag. When

2005
02:28:18.440 --> 02:28:22.440
you put out the purple bag Microlife, you makes plus along with the green

2006
02:28:22.520 --> 02:28:28.440
bag the Microlife sixty four. You
are slowly and gradually but a starting immediately

2007
02:28:30.079 --> 02:28:35.719
building that lawn, providing the nutrients, improving the soil structure, and helping

2008
02:28:35.799 --> 02:28:39.639
the turf roots to thrive, which
means the turf itself can thrive and do

2009
02:28:39.799 --> 02:28:45.879
much better with the better root system
because the soil structure gets improved. Microlife's

2010
02:28:45.920 --> 02:28:50.120
widely available. You can go to
Microlife Fertilizer dot com find out just exactly

2011
02:28:50.719 --> 02:28:54.120
where you can get it in your
area. We're going to go now to

2012
02:28:54.120 --> 02:28:58.000
Tomball and talk to Ken. Hello. Ken, Hey, thanks for taking

2013
02:28:58.040 --> 02:29:05.239
my call. Uh, I've got
to kind of overrun by leaf cutter antswer

2014
02:29:05.399 --> 02:29:11.559
like everywhere. Just wondering what your
thoughts were on getting rid of those leaf

2015
02:29:11.719 --> 02:29:20.799
cutter mm hmmm. Uh. There's
not a single product that is very effective

2016
02:29:20.079 --> 02:29:28.120
against leaf cutter ants. If you
get andro ant block, it has to

2017
02:29:28.239 --> 02:29:35.360
say ant block, not regular andro
andro ant block. Okay, And oh

2018
02:29:35.399 --> 02:29:41.959
my gosh, the second extinguish fire
ant control. And you mix those two

2019
02:29:41.000 --> 02:29:45.120
together, put them in a bucket, let it sit for a week,

2020
02:29:46.200 --> 02:29:52.159
and then apply it. Then that
sound like a strange concoction, I'm telling

2021
02:29:52.239 --> 02:30:00.959
you, Okay, sucked. A
lot of gardencare people that really know Okay,

2022
02:30:01.159 --> 02:30:05.440
they tell me that that works for
them with the andro e block and

2023
02:30:05.639 --> 02:30:11.559
extinguished fire bite extinguish bag. Okay, all right, and can I ask

2024
02:30:11.600 --> 02:30:13.559
another question? Yeah, let me
ken, let me do this. After

2025
02:30:13.639 --> 02:30:16.680
your question, I'm gonna put you
on hold, Josh, We'll give you

2026
02:30:16.799 --> 02:30:20.399
my email and I'll send you the
instructions on that. I think that'd be

2027
02:30:20.520 --> 02:30:24.200
okay. What's your last question?
Right? Yeah? I was wondering what's

2028
02:30:24.280 --> 02:30:30.879
the best kind of grape to crew
in this Houston for free for fresh eating?

2029
02:30:31.799 --> 02:30:37.399
Yes, Southern sensation, seedless cool. Could you put that in an

2030
02:30:37.399 --> 02:30:41.559
email too, if you ask me
the question when you email me, I'll

2031
02:30:41.559 --> 02:30:45.680
put that in the email. Okay, awesome, thank you, all right,

2032
02:30:45.760 --> 02:30:48.760
thank you, Sarah, appreciate that. Shut the call out there.

2033
02:30:48.920 --> 02:30:54.680
You know. Nutristar Genesis is a
transplant mix put together by the Dean Nelson

2034
02:30:54.799 --> 02:31:01.920
folks at Nelson Fertilizer. Nutristar Genesis
is a six one three and it is

2035
02:31:01.239 --> 02:31:07.200
a product that is loaded with beneficial
bacteria indo and ectomycorrhizal fungi. That's the

2036
02:31:07.360 --> 02:31:11.520
kind of fungus that lives with the
root and makes the root much more efficient

2037
02:31:11.559 --> 02:31:15.959
at taking up nutrients. It also
has humates in it, by the way,

2038
02:31:16.680 --> 02:31:20.200
and other nutrients that just encourage the
biology of the soil and therefore the

2039
02:31:20.280 --> 02:31:24.399
success of the plant. But it's
a transplant mix, so follow the label

2040
02:31:26.079 --> 02:31:28.319
if you're going to bump something up
to it. Like I just said earlier

2041
02:31:30.040 --> 02:31:35.319
that I planted two pepper plants klopenias
and containers. The soil that I put

2042
02:31:35.360 --> 02:31:41.920
in the container to poduct those pepper
plants had been mixed with the nutri Star

2043
02:31:41.040 --> 02:31:46.399
Genesis transplant mix from Nelson's. So
that's how you use it. Anytime you're

2044
02:31:46.399 --> 02:31:50.559
going to transplant something, you take
the new mix you're going to use in

2045
02:31:50.639 --> 02:31:54.920
the bigger container and you mix the
nutri Star Genesis in that and you will

2046
02:31:54.000 --> 02:31:58.840
see the results. I've seen outstanding
results from it myself and the tests that

2047
02:31:58.920 --> 02:32:03.040
I did, and it's easy to
find. Now some products are widely available,

2048
02:32:03.079 --> 02:32:05.280
but i'd encourage you to give it
a try if you're going to transplant

2049
02:32:05.319 --> 02:32:11.319
anything, which any gardener is going
to transplant everything through the year a lot.

2050
02:32:11.079 --> 02:32:15.520
Let's go to Missouri City and talk
to Kathleen. Hello, Kathleen,

2051
02:32:16.680 --> 02:32:18.079
Hello, how are you. I'm
good, I'm good. What's up?

2052
02:32:18.360 --> 02:32:24.680
Yeah? I have two questions this
morning. One is regarding the brown grass

2053
02:32:24.760 --> 02:32:28.719
that we get in the wintertime with
the Saint Augustine. In the last few

2054
02:32:28.799 --> 02:32:33.799
years, I've been raking. So
my question is how much of that do

2055
02:32:33.920 --> 02:32:37.479
I need to get out of the
lawn in order to, you know,

2056
02:32:37.760 --> 02:32:41.799
give it more air to make the
grass grow. Okay, Kathleen, are

2057
02:32:41.879 --> 02:32:46.799
we talking about the big brown circles
that appear? Are you just talking about

2058
02:32:46.920 --> 02:32:50.879
old grass that's been through winter?
And there's some grass okay, been through

2059
02:32:50.920 --> 02:32:52.920
the winter. I wouldn't worry about
it. A lot. You can rake

2060
02:32:54.000 --> 02:32:58.120
it if you want, but I
generally just my first mowing. I once

2061
02:32:58.239 --> 02:33:03.120
the grass gets growing, I'll do
that first mowing down a little bit lower,

2062
02:33:03.920 --> 02:33:07.040
and then as a new, fresh, new growth comes out, it'll

2063
02:33:07.159 --> 02:33:09.239
just kind of cover it up and
look fine, and those things will just

2064
02:33:09.440 --> 02:33:11.799
rot away. If you want to
rake it out, you can do that,

2065
02:33:11.920 --> 02:33:16.799
but that's going to expose a lot
of soil to more sunlight, and

2066
02:33:16.399 --> 02:33:20.600
therefore you may need to have a
pre emergent herbicide to prevent the weeds that

2067
02:33:20.680 --> 02:33:26.479
will sprout in that kind of increased
light. Okay, So it's not necessary

2068
02:33:26.600 --> 02:33:28.239
to break it all out. Not
necessary, No, not at all.

2069
02:33:28.440 --> 02:33:33.079
Just a lower mowing will kind of
get a lot of that out and then

2070
02:33:33.239 --> 02:33:37.479
what comes out fresh will be fresh, new green grass. Okay, all

2071
02:33:37.600 --> 02:33:45.319
right. Then my next question is
what can you recommend for repairing roots in

2072
02:33:45.559 --> 02:33:52.680
a lawn. Yes, I would
if you can get sandy loam topsoil or

2073
02:33:52.719 --> 02:33:56.520
anything sold as a topsoil, not
just sand. You don't want. This

2074
02:33:56.360 --> 02:34:01.440
is a little valley of sand out
there in the but a sandy loam topsoil,

2075
02:34:01.479 --> 02:34:05.040
a loam top soil is what I
would use. Some people will mix

2076
02:34:05.200 --> 02:34:07.319
with it a little bit of a
compost material. I know the folks at

2077
02:34:07.319 --> 02:34:11.559
Airloom Soils if Luis has talked to
me about that mixing in a little bit

2078
02:34:11.600 --> 02:34:18.040
of compost with it, and that's
fine too, But mainly if some of

2079
02:34:18.120 --> 02:34:22.000
them already sell it in the bag
that says it's topsoil and compost, I

2080
02:34:22.079 --> 02:34:26.000
don't think I've seen that. I
don't think I've seen it as a blend.

2081
02:34:26.440 --> 02:34:30.239
But if you just use organic matter
like composts, that's great stuff,

2082
02:34:30.760 --> 02:34:33.840
but it decomposes a way and you're
left with the rut again. So that's

2083
02:34:33.879 --> 02:34:39.600
why having some basis of a solid
soil like a sandy loam or a topsoil

2084
02:34:39.639 --> 02:34:43.799
in there will help keep the rut
from becoming a rut again. All Right,

2085
02:34:45.280 --> 02:34:46.360
thank you so much. All right, Kathleen, thank you. I

2086
02:34:46.520 --> 02:34:52.319
appreciate, appreciate your call a lot. Let's see here. You know,

2087
02:34:52.840 --> 02:34:56.959
people have asked me before about different
kinds of products, and where do you

2088
02:34:56.040 --> 02:35:00.200
get this product? Where do you
get that product? Ace Hardware Stores an

2089
02:35:00.200 --> 02:35:03.520
easy answer because there's forty Ace Hardware
stores in the Greater Houston area. So

2090
02:35:05.479 --> 02:35:07.479
when you say go to ACE,
I'm telling you to go to forty different

2091
02:35:07.520 --> 02:35:11.520
places. In other words, where
do you live. There's going to be

2092
02:35:11.559 --> 02:35:16.920
an ACE not too far away.
And ACE focuses on everything that you need

2093
02:35:16.000 --> 02:35:22.000
to have a beautiful lawned landscape.
So all the fertilizers I recommend, you're

2094
02:35:22.000 --> 02:35:24.000
going to get an ACE so blends
like I'm talking about. You're going to

2095
02:35:24.040 --> 02:35:28.719
get an ACE. Disease control,
insect control, pest control, fire ant

2096
02:35:28.760 --> 02:35:33.959
control. Now's the time to get
a good quality fire ant mix to control

2097
02:35:35.079 --> 02:35:37.639
fire ants. And that would be
things like the extinguished and the and the

2098
02:35:37.719 --> 02:35:41.719
amdro and the spino said, which
is the organic version of come and get

2099
02:35:41.760 --> 02:35:46.959
it. ACE has that stuff.
ACE has mosquito repellents. ACE has everything

2100
02:35:46.120 --> 02:35:50.520
that you could possibly need. That's
what they're in business doing is helping you

2101
02:35:50.719 --> 02:35:54.719
have success in your landscape. We're
going to take a little break. We'll

2102
02:35:54.719 --> 02:35:58.559
be right back. Phone number in
the meantime seven one three two one two

2103
02:35:58.079 --> 02:36:03.520
KTRH is in. You'll be the
first step. Welcome back to garden Line.

2104
02:36:03.600 --> 02:36:07.479
Good to have you with us today. We're answering gardening questions and helping

2105
02:36:07.559 --> 02:36:09.639
you have success. I tell you
one way to help you have success,

2106
02:36:09.920 --> 02:36:15.959
just to tell you about places that
are destination garden centers that have stuff you

2107
02:36:16.159 --> 02:36:20.479
just don't get elsewhere. But more
important than the stuff they carry. As

2108
02:36:20.719 --> 02:36:26.120
important as that is is the quality
and knowledge of the people that help you

2109
02:36:26.239 --> 02:36:28.159
there. That is important. That's
how it is at Moss Nursery. Moss

2110
02:36:28.319 --> 02:36:31.840
Nursery hires gardeners, they do.
I was there a while back, and

2111
02:36:33.159 --> 02:36:35.559
two different master gardeners from the Harris
County Master Gardener Program it used to be

2112
02:36:35.639 --> 02:36:39.280
in charge of we're actually working at
Moss, and I mean those are highly

2113
02:36:39.360 --> 02:36:43.879
trained folks, but they also have
the personal experience of gardening that is important

2114
02:36:45.399 --> 02:36:48.600
at Moss. Right now, you're
going to find one of my favorite spring

2115
02:36:48.680 --> 02:36:52.879
trees, Chinese fringe tree, and
another one Texas Mountain Laurel. Oh my

2116
02:36:54.079 --> 02:36:56.399
gosh, the blooms, both of
them fragrant, both of them beautiful.

2117
02:36:56.799 --> 02:37:01.760
They've got asiatic lilies and fruit trees
and vegetables and herbs and hanging baskets.

2118
02:37:01.799 --> 02:37:07.680
They're new shipments of cactus and house
plants. I tell you that place is

2119
02:37:07.879 --> 02:37:11.319
always packed because the trucks are lined
up, and I mean that in the

2120
02:37:11.440 --> 02:37:18.760
morning, just lined up to just
drop off more and more and more color

2121
02:37:20.200 --> 02:37:24.159
vegetables, herbs. Do you need
Microlife fertilizer? They have a full stock

2122
02:37:24.200 --> 02:37:30.559
of micro Life fertilizer and others as
well. Beautiful pottery selection there. It's

2123
02:37:30.760 --> 02:37:35.760
just when you go to Moss you're
basically taking a wonderfully beautiful stroll through a

2124
02:37:35.879 --> 02:37:41.840
wonderland of plants. And I literally
mean that. It is just it's acres

2125
02:37:43.520 --> 02:37:48.440
of just turning every corner and finding
some new, cool surprise. So when

2126
02:37:48.479 --> 02:37:50.920
you go, allow time. You
need time to shop, but you need

2127
02:37:52.000 --> 02:37:56.200
time just to take it in and
learn. And Moss Nursery is that that

2128
02:37:56.360 --> 02:38:00.600
kind of place. It just a
destination garden center. They're on Topville Road

2129
02:38:00.639 --> 02:38:05.520
out there in Seabrook. Check out
the website. It's Moss Maas Nursery dot

2130
02:38:05.600 --> 02:38:07.360
com. Or you can give them
a call. It two eight one four

2131
02:38:07.440 --> 02:38:13.360
seven four twenty four eighty eight.
Let's see, we're going to go now

2132
02:38:13.520 --> 02:38:18.159
out to Suzanne in League City.
Hello Suzanne, Hi, There a quick

2133
02:38:18.239 --> 02:38:22.600
question. Last week you told me
that it was okay to put this brown

2134
02:38:22.959 --> 02:38:28.040
mossy stuff that's falling out of the
oak trees in my compost pile, which

2135
02:38:28.239 --> 02:38:35.639
I have done, but there is
a layer of it in my grass.

2136
02:38:35.079 --> 02:38:41.079
Okay, Should I leave it alone
or try to break it up? There

2137
02:38:41.079 --> 02:38:43.440
would have to be so much that
it literally is shading your grass out,

2138
02:38:43.600 --> 02:38:46.319
and that will well, it's not
yeah, of course my grass is popping

2139
02:38:46.479 --> 02:38:50.360
through. Yeah, don't worry about
it. It'll decompose. That's what nature.

2140
02:38:50.360 --> 02:38:54.040
Okay, thank you so much.
Save yourself the trouble. You can

2141
02:38:54.079 --> 02:38:58.200
spend that time doing something fun.
Right, all right, thank you sir.

2142
02:39:00.799 --> 02:39:03.719
Good to talk with you. Let's
go to Blaine up in Conroe.

2143
02:39:03.840 --> 02:39:07.319
Hello, Blaine, Oh, how
you doing, Bud? I'm well,

2144
02:39:07.440 --> 02:39:13.559
sir, How can I help man? I'm u. I got some garlic

2145
02:39:13.840 --> 02:39:16.559
and it kind of obergrew, and
it was I never used it, so

2146
02:39:16.760 --> 02:39:20.959
I figured it was sprouting. I
put it in some soil and you know,

2147
02:39:20.399 --> 02:39:26.040
let it do its thing well after
you know, oh that it wasn't

2148
02:39:26.079 --> 02:39:28.719
really sprouting too much. So I
was just wondering what can I do to

2149
02:39:28.079 --> 02:39:31.719
to help it along so I can
get some some kind of yield out of

2150
02:39:31.719 --> 02:39:35.399
it. Normally we plant garlic in
the fall, carry it through winter and

2151
02:39:35.559 --> 02:39:41.120
then and the spring is when you
get the bulb development fully and you harvest

2152
02:39:41.200 --> 02:39:45.639
it, dry it and keep it
until the next planting time. If it's

2153
02:39:45.959 --> 02:39:48.840
getting late on you, what that
garlic's gonna do. It's gonna try to

2154
02:39:48.920 --> 02:39:54.360
bolt send up a bloomstalk, and
when it does that, the storability goes

2155
02:39:54.440 --> 02:39:58.520
downhill. But also that you've kind
of shut down your productivity for the year.

2156
02:39:58.000 --> 02:40:03.440
So I just say, continue to
provide it a moderate amount of nitrogen,

2157
02:40:03.079 --> 02:40:07.920
adequate soul moisture when we go through
a period when it doesn't rain,

2158
02:40:07.600 --> 02:40:11.120
and just see what you can get
out of it. But otherwise I think

2159
02:40:11.120 --> 02:40:16.799
it'd be a regrouping probably and next
next fall getting a head start with some

2160
02:40:16.959 --> 02:40:22.840
good quality garlic. Okay, understood, I appreciate it, Bud. All

2161
02:40:22.920 --> 02:40:26.799
right, well, good luck with
that and give us a call back.

2162
02:40:26.879 --> 02:40:28.879
We can help with the gardening thing, all right, Thank you so much,

2163
02:40:30.000 --> 02:40:35.559
Goad Bliss. Thank you Blaine.
That is a fact your lawn needs

2164
02:40:35.680 --> 02:40:39.879
nutrients. Now's the time it is
waking up. We've done our spring greenups,

2165
02:40:39.920 --> 02:40:43.719
some of you haven't, and you
still can if you want, but

2166
02:40:43.840 --> 02:40:46.959
we're about to hiner the time where
our slow releases of summer are the only

2167
02:40:48.040 --> 02:40:52.559
one I'm recommending. And so in
this transition right now, why not get

2168
02:40:52.600 --> 02:40:56.600
a head start on the slow release
with super Turf. Super Turf is a

2169
02:40:56.680 --> 02:41:01.159
nitrophoss fertilizer. It's easy to find. It's a silver bag, the only

2170
02:41:01.239 --> 02:41:05.920
one I know of in a silver
bag out there on the market. Nitrovos

2171
02:41:05.040 --> 02:41:11.559
Superturf nineteen four to ten. Fifty
percent of the nitrogen's going to release gradually

2172
02:41:11.760 --> 02:41:15.159
over time for SOFA. The next
two or three months, you're going to

2173
02:41:15.159 --> 02:41:18.920
be getting a release of your Superturf. It also has four percent iron.

2174
02:41:18.399 --> 02:41:20.760
Now, one of the things when
you look at your lawn you see some

2175
02:41:20.920 --> 02:41:26.120
kind of yellowish areas. That's ourn
deficiency, especially in the spring right now,

2176
02:41:26.920 --> 02:41:31.120
and Superturf will help address that as
well. Like all nitrofoss products,

2177
02:41:31.319 --> 02:41:33.959
you know, widely, widely available, easy to find Superturf. Shades of

2178
02:41:35.040 --> 02:41:37.719
Texas up in the Woodlands they have
Superturf. You go to Kingwood to the

2179
02:41:37.760 --> 02:41:43.399
Ace Hardware Store, our task Asda, the Ace Hardware Store they've got Superturf

2180
02:41:43.440 --> 02:41:46.680
as well. D and D Feed
and Tomball has Superturf as well as many

2181
02:41:48.000 --> 02:41:54.159
many other locations, quality nurseries,
quality feed stores. Easy to find Superturf.

2182
02:41:54.760 --> 02:41:58.479
Let's go now to Katie and we're
going to talk to Stephanie. Hello,

2183
02:41:58.559 --> 02:42:01.399
Stephanie, Hey, good morning.
Just a quick question. Is it

2184
02:42:01.600 --> 02:42:09.239
still a good time to apply the
bonn eyed weed Beater ultra on the yard

2185
02:42:09.360 --> 02:42:13.559
for weeds that have popped up?
Yes, it is too hot? Okay,

2186
02:42:13.040 --> 02:42:18.319
No, it is. When the
temperature is in the upper eighties consistently,

2187
02:42:18.000 --> 02:42:22.760
then it's getting a little warm.
But even when it's ninety you can

2188
02:42:22.840 --> 02:42:26.479
apply those products in the morning when
it's not ninety and by the time they

2189
02:42:26.639 --> 02:42:31.559
dry off and everything and the temperature
heats up, you'll be okay. But

2190
02:42:31.760 --> 02:42:35.159
yes, you're right about trying to
get that done in the spring, okay.

2191
02:42:35.239 --> 02:42:39.000
And it's okay to do like the
entire yard or do I need to

2192
02:42:39.280 --> 02:42:43.840
spot treat? Are weeds just like
everywhere? Well, if they're everywhere,

2193
02:42:43.879 --> 02:42:46.719
then you got to do it everywhere. Just got spray it everywhere. Just

2194
02:42:46.840 --> 02:42:50.639
remember you don't have to drench the
weeds. It's just what you get on

2195
02:42:50.760 --> 02:42:54.639
the leaves of the weed that matters. So anything dripping off the leaves is

2196
02:42:56.079 --> 02:43:01.200
wasted. Spray okay, okay,
I appreciate it. Thank you all right,

2197
02:43:01.239 --> 02:43:05.600
Stephanie, thank you appreciate the call. That good to ask. You

2198
02:43:05.719 --> 02:43:09.000
know, the part of the problem
and dealing with things is getting the right

2199
02:43:09.079 --> 02:43:13.719
product, something that's going to work. But another part of the problem is

2200
02:43:13.319 --> 02:43:18.159
applying it correctly, the right time
and at the right rate. And that

2201
02:43:18.440 --> 02:43:20.959
is something that I encourage you to
call me about. Let's talk about that,

2202
02:43:22.120 --> 02:43:28.239
because that is important. I try
to remember to tell callers about this

2203
02:43:28.520 --> 02:43:33.760
or that caveat regarding products, but
I don't always remember, and I mean

2204
02:43:33.000 --> 02:43:37.600
the call may go in a little
different direction. But take something like iron.

2205
02:43:37.719 --> 02:43:43.040
For example, iron will stain concrete
with the rust color. Any white

2206
02:43:43.120 --> 02:43:46.959
masonry kind of thing, you're going
to see rust color whenever you have iron

2207
02:43:46.040 --> 02:43:50.920
on it. So somebody's using a
quality iron product to treat an iron problem

2208
02:43:50.000 --> 02:43:52.959
in their lawn. If they just
scattered out there of the driveway, you

2209
02:43:54.079 --> 02:43:58.040
have little little rest spots when it
gets wet. That's just what iron does.

2210
02:43:58.600 --> 02:44:03.159
And so that's a caveat. Need
to remember that. A huge thing

2211
02:44:03.399 --> 02:44:09.280
for people to remember is follow the
label. And I can say this till

2212
02:44:09.319 --> 02:44:11.079
the cows come home. I know
people don't listen to me. They think,

2213
02:44:11.200 --> 02:44:15.360
well, if a teaspoon's good,
a tablespoon's better. It is not

2214
02:44:16.600 --> 02:44:20.079
listen. If you're selling a product
if you're making a product, I don't

2215
02:44:20.120 --> 02:44:24.399
care if it's a herbicide and insecticide, a fungicide. Wouldn't you want people

2216
02:44:24.479 --> 02:44:28.159
to use more of it because you
get to sell more. Yeah, you

2217
02:44:28.239 --> 02:44:33.319
would. So why don't they put
a tablespoon? Why do they put a

2218
02:44:33.360 --> 02:44:37.680
teaspoon? I'm just using those as
examples. Why wouldn't they say, oh,

2219
02:44:37.879 --> 02:44:39.760
use a tablespoon because they're going to
sell you more product they do.

2220
02:44:41.159 --> 02:44:45.559
They don't because a teaspoon is a
rate that works. A tablespoon is a

2221
02:44:45.680 --> 02:44:50.360
rate that does damage. And some
products can do significant damage to our lawns,

2222
02:44:50.440 --> 02:44:54.959
to our gardens when we miss apply
them, as well as to our

2223
02:44:56.040 --> 02:45:00.319
water quality supplies. You know,
when you throw fertilizer quality for life,

2224
02:45:00.360 --> 02:45:03.239
throw it out there and it gets
on the driveway and you don't blow it

2225
02:45:03.360 --> 02:45:05.799
off into the lawn or sweep it
off into the lawn and it rains.

2226
02:45:05.879 --> 02:45:09.360
Where does that go? It goes
to creeks, It goes to rivers,

2227
02:45:09.520 --> 02:45:15.840
to tributaries, It ends up in
the Gulf of Mexico eventually, and it

2228
02:45:16.040 --> 02:45:20.680
degrades water quality. We get algal
blooms, we get fish kills. There's

2229
02:45:20.680 --> 02:45:24.879
just a lot of things that happen. You paid for that fertilizer. Get

2230
02:45:24.920 --> 02:45:28.079
it on the lawn, not on
the driveway. I realize an application,

2231
02:45:28.280 --> 02:45:31.159
something's going to go over there.
But when you're done, blow it back

2232
02:45:31.239 --> 02:45:37.000
in, sweep it back in.
That's just an example of misapplying a product,

2233
02:45:37.280 --> 02:45:41.559
A good product that works, that
you paid for, So don't misapply

2234
02:45:41.680 --> 02:45:45.120
it. Apply it right, and
apply it at the right time. Read

2235
02:45:45.200 --> 02:45:48.079
the label. The label says when
it's in the upper eighties or nineties,

2236
02:45:48.159 --> 02:45:52.440
don't use this. Don't use it. There's a reason it says that some

2237
02:45:52.600 --> 02:45:56.760
of the products that are very good
on controlling weeds, they are pretty damaging

2238
02:45:56.840 --> 02:46:01.559
to Saint Augustine when it heats up. When that time of the year comes

2239
02:46:01.600 --> 02:46:05.239
and I'm doing guard line, we'll
talk about, well, switch to this

2240
02:46:05.440 --> 02:46:07.280
product. Do you hear me say
things like, we'll use this one because

2241
02:46:07.319 --> 02:46:11.360
it's a little too hot to use
the others, the ones that were perfectly

2242
02:46:11.520 --> 02:46:16.079
good for spring, maybe not for
summer. So I'll try to guide you

2243
02:46:16.159 --> 02:46:20.840
in that. But just remember there's
a reason that there's a lane. Hey,

2244
02:46:20.159 --> 02:46:24.559
we are done for today. I'll
be back tomorrow morning, six am,

2245
02:46:24.760 --> 02:46:28.319
bright and early. Hope you joined
me in the meantime, I am

2246
02:46:28.440 --> 02:46:31.479
on my way to the Sci Fi
Home and Gardenship that is going to be

2247
02:46:31.680 --> 02:46:37.120
at the Berry Center on Barker Ciphress
Road. I'll be there today from twelve

2248
02:46:37.360 --> 02:46:41.559
to two, give a little talk, and then here we go your questions.

2249
02:46:41.799 --> 02:46:43.239
Let's have some eye to eye time, face to face. This is

2250
02:46:43.280 --> 02:46:46.120
your chance to sit down and you
don't have to wait in line for a

2251
02:46:46.200 --> 02:46:48.239
caller. Well, you met to
wait in line for somebody's standing there.

2252
02:46:48.280 --> 02:46:52.079
But the point is we get some
eye to eye time. Bring me samples,

2253
02:46:52.120 --> 02:46:56.840
bring me pictures. Let's figure out
how to help you have a beautiful

2254
02:46:56.920 --> 02:47:01.680
lawn and a bountiful landscape. Exactly
what we can help you do. I

2255
02:47:01.760 --> 02:47:05.879
just want to remind you one more
time. Next Saturday, March thirtieth,

2256
02:47:05.000 --> 02:47:09.239
I'm going to be at Siena Mulch. But the second annual Spring Fling will

2257
02:47:09.280 --> 02:47:15.040
be given away products I've given away
Nelson and Heirloom and Medina. There're gonna

2258
02:47:15.040 --> 02:47:16.879
be a lot of folks there and
you don't want to miss it.
