<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Katie r. H Garden Line with skimped Richard's.

2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Crazy trim.

3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Just watch him as well.

4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 4>That so many.

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 3>Birthdays to see botasing not a sound j.

6
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Sun Well, good morning, Good Sunday morning, gardeners. Stop glad

7
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 2>you're joining us this morning. We got plenty of gardening

8
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 2>stuff to talk about today. We had a great time

9
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>yesterday out at Arbor Gate. I don't uh tell you

10
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 2>that place was hopping, and you know it was just

11
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 2>like people were hauling stuff at one end and trucks

12
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>are coming in the other end. It was. It was

13
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 2>a busy day and a good reason for it too.

14
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, good selection out there. But the weather, oh

15
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, it was incredible. Nice nice day. So thanks

16
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 2>for folks at Arbrogate, for Beverly and all the team

17
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>there for having me out. Had a good time. Thanks

18
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 2>for everybody that came out too. I enjoyed visiting with you.

19
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>And it's always kind of fun when people come up

20
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>to ask questions. Happens on the radio too, of course,

21
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 2>but you know someone's walking toward you that you eye

22
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>contact ice meat, and all of a sudden they reach

23
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>in their persure their pocket and out comes this little

24
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 2>zip lock bag with plant material in it, and it's

25
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a mystery gift, you know, you open

26
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>it up and let's see what this one is. And

27
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>so we had some really good, really good questions that

28
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>came out as well. So anyway, I have to I

29
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>have a confession to make this morning. My garden needs help.

30
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 2>It needs me to actually be a gardener, not just

31
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>a guy who talks to other people and helps them

32
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>with their garden. And so that is my plan for

33
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>this week. I've got a number of projects that we're

34
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>working on, a lot of planting that still needs to

35
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 2>be done. And you know, the sooner you plant, the

36
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>better off you're going to be because it's easier when

37
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>plants have a little bit of a head start on

38
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>the heat. You can plant on the hottest day of

39
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 2>the year in the middle of summer, but it's touch

40
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and go. You got to keep that root ball moist

41
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 2>without keeping it too wet. And think about that. So

42
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>when the pot you bought from the nursery, the container,

43
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 2>when it goes in the ground, that whole root system

44
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>is still You might as well have just stuck the

45
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>pot in the ground because that's where all the roots are,

46
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>so when you water, you need to think about that

47
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 2>water in that little area. And now does that mean

48
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>you drench it every day? No, you will kill a

49
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>plant that way, especially in a clay soil because think

50
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>about this. Dig a hole in a clay soil and

51
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 2>fill it full of water. Does it all run right out?

52
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Of course not. It sits there, and it sits there

53
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's there. It takes a long time for

54
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>water to move out of a clay and when you

55
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>put a plant in the ground in a clay hole,

56
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>that is what happens. So you you've kind of got to,

57
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>uh do some bed prep ahead of time to have

58
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 2>good success. And that would mean uh, mixing some organic

59
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>material down into the soil. If you're putting in a

60
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>raised bed, get you a good quality bed mix, put

61
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>it on the ground and go for it that way.

62
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Uh you know, make then dig the hole. Okay, then

63
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>you're digging a hole into mixed soil and things are

64
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>just going to go better. And some plants just absolutely

65
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>can't take wet feet and we can put we can

66
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>plant those. I like to say plant them on top

67
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 2>of the ground. And by that what I mean is

68
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>imagine that You're going to put in a zella in

69
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 2>the ground, for example, and you got this clay hole. Uh,

70
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, nah, that's that's not good long term,

71
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 2>probably going to stay too well down there. So you

72
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>set the azella on top of the ground and then

73
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>you bring a bed in around it. Now that that

74
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>is a little bit of a ridiculous example, but it

75
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>creates the mental picture that I want to create with you,

76
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 2>is your plant is above the soil level. What I'll

77
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 2>usually do is spread out some good quality bed mix,

78
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>mix it in a little bit with the soil that

79
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>I have. That creates kind of a transition zone. So

80
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not like you're going from potting soil to solid

81
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 2>clay and then continue filling the bed with the bed

82
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>mix and then dig the hole to plant the plant.

83
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>But in essence, that plant is like above or a

84
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>little bit at least above the original soil level. And

85
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>that helps when we get our gully washers or frog

86
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>stranglers as they say. And it happens here, it sure does.

87
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Now in a container, you want a quality mix. And

88
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>I talk about jungle land all the time, jungle land

89
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 2>flour and vegetable planting soil goes into a good container,

90
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>and a good container means that it has a drain

91
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>holes and it has adequate volume of soil capacity to

92
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>support that plant during the heat. The hotter it gets,

93
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the more water plants need. The container is the entire

94
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 2>root system of available soil and moisture. So I've had

95
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>containers that had water twice a day because the plants

96
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 2>were big, the containers were small, and it was hot,

97
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 2>and you just need to think about that. The bigger

98
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 2>your container, the better off you are. But Jungle lends

99
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>a quality mix to put in there. It's got decomposed

100
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>organic matter and four different sources of it actually Canadian

101
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>blomb pede and microhizal fungi to help those plants thrive.

102
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Now you can find nitro fross products like the Jungle

103
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Land distributed by Nitroros. You've fded plants and things at

104
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in Brennam. You head down to Clute, Dixie Drive, Lake Hardware,

105
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>They've got it down there, Fishers Hardware and Baytown Alexander

106
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>another place you find quality night foss products. I would

107
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 2>encourage you this year. I always trying to give you

108
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>some ideas or things like, hey, have you tried this

109
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 2>have you considered this before, Consider some big beautiful mixed

110
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>container plantings. And I don't care if you go and,

111
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, get the most expensive, beautiful, giant glazed pottery

112
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.079
<v Speaker 2>in the world, or if you just get a big

113
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>old black nursery bucket and plant in it. Get a

114
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>big container and fill it full of mix and put

115
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 2>different kinds of plants in it. And if you need inspiration,

116
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Arbrogate would be a good place for that. I was

117
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 2>out there yesterday and they had combo planters that had

118
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of different things in them. And you walk

119
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 2>by and you look at it and you go, I

120
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 2>like that, or you know what, I like that plant

121
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 2>in it, But I like these over here too, and

122
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like it gives you inspiration. And a mixed planter

123
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 2>is like bringing the garden beds right up to the

124
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>house or bringing them to your patio. I have mixed

125
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 2>planners for shady areas. I have mixed planners for sunny areas.

126
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>You just choose the plants accordingly, and a quality nurse

127
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 2>she's going to help you do that. Like Arburgate, Arbrogate

128
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>up and Tomball. For those of you who weren't out

129
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>there yesterday, Arburgate is on twenty nine to twenty just

130
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 2>west of Tomball and it's easy to get to and

131
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>when you park, remember to park in the back. That's

132
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.319
<v Speaker 2>the best place to park out there. Also, I just

133
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 2>want to tell you that next Saturday, May seventeenth, at

134
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>ten am, Angela Chandler is going to be doing a

135
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>program on tropical dazzlers. This would be a good one

136
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.399
<v Speaker 2>for mixed containers too, or just single plant containers. Bold beauties,

137
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, like Allocasia and colocasia. Think about people call

138
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 2>elephant ears that kind of plant kalladiums in a shady spot.

139
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, you can have a gorgeous kalladium container

140
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Zantho soma. If you like showy plants thrive in our climate.

141
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>It never gets too hot and humid for them. They

142
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.519
<v Speaker 2>laugh at that. They love that. Go to Angela's class

143
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Tropical Dazzlers next Saturday ten am. All you do is

144
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 2>call Arburgate and they'll tell you about it and get

145
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.319
<v Speaker 2>you signed up for it. It's a ten dollars per

146
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>person and it's limited seedings, so don't delay. If you're interested,

147
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and give them a call. Time for me

148
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 2>to go to a little break here when we come back,

149
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk to you perhaps. All right, y, welcome back

150
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>on a good Sunday morning. Good to have you with

151
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 2>us here and garden line. I want to ask you

152
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>to think about soil and nutrients a little differently. And

153
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 2>here's what the It's a common concept that when I fertilize,

154
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeding my plants. So you know, it's like you

155
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 2>give them a low fertilizer, they suck it up and

156
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>grow and do whatever they do, and then you got

157
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 2>to give them a little bit more and do that. Well,

158
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.440
<v Speaker 2>that does happen, But think instead, turn that around and

159
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>think of your soil as a bank account. And every

160
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>nutrient and the soil that plants have to have, if

161
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.240
<v Speaker 2>it's not there in adequate quantities, it limits plant growth.

162
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.440
<v Speaker 2>There's twenty something nutrients that plants can take up and use,

163
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>but if one of them is limited, that's as much

164
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>as the plant can grow. So you're building the sole

165
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>bank account when you fertilize. Some plants, some nutrients like

166
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>nitrogen go away. They don't stick around. They volatilize or

167
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 2>taken up by microbes or washed away, and nitrogen especially,

168
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.080
<v Speaker 2>but others stick around a while. But it's the bank

169
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 2>account you're trying to build. And if you fill that

170
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.559
<v Speaker 2>bank account with all the nutrients that the plants need,

171
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have plant success because when they want

172
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>to make withdrawals, and they make them every day, they're there.

173
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Asamite is a trace mental supplement that does just set okay.

174
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It has things like boron in it or you know

175
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>other micro nutrients that you would never think, oh, I

176
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>need to go fertilize my law with boron now. Azemite

177
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.759
<v Speaker 2>has the micros that they need. But it's building the

178
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.519
<v Speaker 2>bank account. That's why you can do it anytime of

179
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 2>the year. You don't have to just do it during

180
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 2>fertilizer season. It's just easier when you're not fertilizing your

181
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.559
<v Speaker 2>lawn to go ahead and bring it, bring the hopper back,

182
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>fill it up with as mite, and go out and

183
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 2>do that again with the asmite Asmytexas dot Com for

184
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 2>more information build your soul's bank account. Let's head out

185
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 2>to a task Acita now and we're going to visit

186
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>with Jim. Hey, Jim, welcome to Guardline.

187
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you very much, sir, and I hope you're

188
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>having a great day. Here's a question root bound. Okay,

189
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I've got a thirty down by tech I just bought,

190
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 1>and I want to plant it right, and then all

191
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the other plants I just bought. I'm you're doing my

192
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 1>whole front yard. Okay, about twenty plants. Now? Do I

193
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>do the same process with every plant?

194
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 4>In other words, when I.

195
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Buy a new plants and it's in the container and

196
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it's been for a while, don I separate those roots

197
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and cut certain ones that are tangled up?

198
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Well, I'll say yes. It's most important on trees

199
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>and to somederground shrubs where you can have a root

200
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 2>going around in a small circle. Maybe it was in

201
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 2>a gallon pot, let's say, and it made a gallon

202
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 2>size circle around the trunk. And then as a trunk

203
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and the root get old bigger, they strangle each other.

204
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.600
<v Speaker 2>The root strangles the trunk. But it's also important to

205
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 2>get plants to establish well. Roots that are all wrapped

206
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 2>up in a pot aren't going to unwrap underground. So

207
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll cut mine. I plan one the other day, and

208
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 2>I cut it in three or four places vertically used

209
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 2>a little box cutter knife. If it's bigger roots, you

210
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>need little pruners in there, but don't be afraid to

211
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>cut them. Just like if you cut a branch on

212
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>a tree, what happens is it sprouts out two or

213
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>three more branches from where you cut it. That's what

214
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.200
<v Speaker 2>happens in the ground, and it'll happen within a couple

215
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 2>of weeks. It'll start sprouting new roots and those go

216
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 2>right out and establish faster. So don't be afraid to

217
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>cut those, especially those circling roots.

218
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Is basically the same process with every plant that you planate.

219
00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but you know, if you're putting in a little

220
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.639
<v Speaker 2>tomato plant and it's not super root bound, I mean

221
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you sometimes people use their little fingers to tease the

222
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 2>roots apart a little bit, but to the degree it's

223
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 2>root bound, it's more important. I'll just put it that way.

224
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 2>But I generally look and if roots are all wadded up,

225
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>I just kind of loosen them up a little bit.

226
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>If it's a little small perennial or annual or something

227
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 2>like that.

228
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Right, and on you to thank you, sir, and have

229
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 1>a great day.

230
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.960
<v Speaker 2>You too, and thanks for your calls. Have a great Sunday.

231
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Nature's Way Resources has been making quality mixes for a

232
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.879
<v Speaker 2>long time, and it you know, it's it's almost like

233
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.039
<v Speaker 2>like boutique mixes if you will, I mean they they

234
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I talk about garden mix or garden bed mixes. Well,

235
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Natures has a bunch of them. You know, they've got

236
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>like the roast soil, They've got soil for vegetables and

237
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.759
<v Speaker 2>herbs or fruit trees or whatever. There's a number of

238
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>different mixes. They have one called Garden Light Mix and

239
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>it basically is a little higher and composted organic matter.

240
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Therefore it's a little bit lighter and so if you

241
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>need something with some extra excellent drainage, it can do that.

242
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 2>It's got lead, more composts in. It's got some topsoil

243
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:14.440
<v Speaker 2>and mortar sand just to provide good loose strangers beca. See,

244
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>that's one that's one of the many products that they

245
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>carry there. It Nature's way. When you go talk to them,

246
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>whoever you talk to there, you know, they've got a

247
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of folks that really know what they're doing. You

248
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 2>talk to Ian, you can talk to Leo or some

249
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.320
<v Speaker 2>of the others, and you just say, look, this is

250
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 2>what I want to grow. What do you recommend for that?

251
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>And they're going to be able to tell you what

252
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 2>to use and why. And you can do it by bulk.

253
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>You can do it by the bag. You can go

254
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 2>pick it up, you can have it delivered. You can

255
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>find the bags in a lot of garden centers around town.

256
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 2>So just remember too that Fungal Friday. Every Friday is

257
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Fungal Friday. It's fungo based compost, which is a high

258
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>quality organic product. Ten percent off bags, twenty percent off

259
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 2>bulk at Nature's Way. Here's how you find out more

260
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.039
<v Speaker 2>about them, how to find them, how to get a

261
00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:05.559
<v Speaker 2>hold of them, everything, Nature's Way resources dot com, Nature's

262
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Way Resources dot com. Try it out. I I you know,

263
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I talk about all the time that if I'm recommending

264
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>some product, it's because I've used it, and I just

265
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.559
<v Speaker 2>some of these, you know, natures we have so many

266
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>products it takes a while to get through them all.

267
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.519
<v Speaker 2>But just picked up some other things the other day

268
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 2>for some new beds. We're putting in a couple of

269
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 2>new mulches. I hadn't tried from them, and we're trying

270
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 2>those out now, just to make sure you know that

271
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the claims are true. Of course, I have no doubt

272
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.679
<v Speaker 2>about that them being true. I just like to try

273
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>it and you know what I find out when I

274
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and this is true. Now I've got book knowledge. I

275
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>went to school, I got a master's in horticulture. I

276
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 2>got the book knowledge. But it is it's on knowledge

277
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.559
<v Speaker 2>that is so very important, you know, I don't. I'm

278
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.360
<v Speaker 2>not dissing book not I'm just saying that when I

279
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.559
<v Speaker 2>try something, I learned things that I didn't know. I

280
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.279
<v Speaker 2>didn't know. You know, they say you don't know what

281
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 2>you don't know. That's true. So when I start trying something,

282
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.159
<v Speaker 2>it could be a new plant that I'm trying out,

283
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 2>and I may have it in a little too much shade,

284
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>or maybe I put it in more shade than I

285
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>thought it would take, and it performs well, and I

286
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 2>learned something, And I encourage you to do that out

287
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 2>in your garden. There is no don't think about failing

288
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 2>or not failing. Really believe me on that one. Don't

289
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 2>think about failing or not don't worry about that. Do

290
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>everything you can to have success. But if something isn't

291
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>doing good, it's okay. You've learned something, and oftentimes you

292
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 2>can fix it. One time, I had a rose bush

293
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.559
<v Speaker 2>that was in a spot that was a little too shady,

294
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 2>and it bloomed, but it was like, eh, not that great, Okay,

295
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.960
<v Speaker 2>So one fall I dug it up and I moved

296
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.399
<v Speaker 2>it to another spot that had more sun, and boy,

297
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.879
<v Speaker 2>it was happy there. And that's what I'm talking about.

298
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.639
<v Speaker 2>You learn and you try new things, and you get

299
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>better and you grow, and it's all part of the

300
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 2>cultivating of the earth. And with all the wonderful plant

301
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.720
<v Speaker 2>options we have, oh my gosh, so many plants, so

302
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>little time. That's how I like to look at it. Anyway, Yeah,

303
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:18.519
<v Speaker 2>there you go. Nitropas Superturf is their product for slow

304
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.720
<v Speaker 2>release summer fertilizing. And when I say slow release, I

305
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>mean like sixteen weeks. It's going to be releasing nitrogen

306
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:27.960
<v Speaker 2>out slowly and it's got on the nutrients and as well.

307
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.399
<v Speaker 2>It's a nineteen four to ten fertilizer. It's going to

308
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.559
<v Speaker 2>be releasing those out slowly over time during that period

309
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 2>and you get nice even growth through your lawns. It's

310
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the silver bag from Nitrofoss. It's easy to find when

311
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>you walk into a store. You're going to find night

312
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Foss products at places like Fisher's Hardware down there in

313
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Baytown in Angleton, in Lake Hardware, Angleton on Velasco. I

314
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 2>go to Clare Lake M and D and Clare Lake

315
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>on Bay Area Boulevard some other places you'll find nitropas,

316
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:01.519
<v Speaker 2>superturf and other nitrofoss products. I need to get out

317
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 2>and do some more land fertilizing. I haven't fertilized one

318
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.880
<v Speaker 2>of my lawns. Haven't fertilized in quite a while. And

319
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.079
<v Speaker 2>I say one because my lawn is a big experiment.

320
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I have four different kinds of grasses. I know you're

321
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 2>thinking that must look horrible. No it doesn't. I have

322
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.440
<v Speaker 2>two Saint Augustine's in the front with a big driveway

323
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 2>in between them, so you kind of don't. No, it's

324
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>not like, you know, it looks like a checkerboard or anything.

325
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.839
<v Speaker 2>But I'm learning about two new Saint Augustine varieties as

326
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a result of that. So there we go in the back,

327
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>two different Soisier varieties, trying those out in some sunny spots,

328
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.839
<v Speaker 2>some shady spots. We have two golden retrievers, which when

329
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.960
<v Speaker 2>they talk about the petty patter of little feet, these

330
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.880
<v Speaker 2>guys are like, I don't know the trampling of a

331
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.720
<v Speaker 2>buffalo herd. So if you want to test a grass.

332
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.079
<v Speaker 2>You can rent my dogs and they will tell you

333
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 2>if it can hold up or not. But it's all

334
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 2>part of the learning curve and I enjoyed doing that.

335
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever been out to antigurosm for him? It's

336
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>up north of Brenham in Independence, Texas and it is

337
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.559
<v Speaker 2>an awesome, awesome place. I love the anti g rosing

338
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.079
<v Speaker 2>for him. You go there and you're going to find

339
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty much any kind of roads you can imagine. I mean,

340
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 2>they have an awesome collection right now. They got a

341
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 2>deal going on bue twenty something different roses that are

342
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.079
<v Speaker 2>on a good little sale if you jump out there

343
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 2>and take advantage of it. And there's some really good

344
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.759
<v Speaker 2>ones in that group too. I was looking over their

345
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 2>list thinking I haven't tried that one yet. Also, don't

346
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:43.400
<v Speaker 2>forget that today is, let's see, today's Mother's Day. Be

347
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>a good time to run out there and grab a

348
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.200
<v Speaker 2>rose to bring for mom. Also, on Memorial Weekend, which

349
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 2>is May twenty four and twenty six, tax savings on

350
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.400
<v Speaker 2>water conserving products, so that'd be a good day to

351
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:58.200
<v Speaker 2>plan getting out and getting some shopping done. If you

352
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 2>haven't been there, you need to go go to the

374
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to Guardline on a nice Sunday. Glad to

375
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 2>have you listening with us today this morning. Won't you

376
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 2>get a cup of coffee and go outside for just

377
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a minute. It's starting to get light, which is about now.

378
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I believe it's just brightening up pretty good out there. Uh,

379
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>and just listen, listen to the birds. It is the

380
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:35.519
<v Speaker 2>most soothing thing. It's one of those nature sounds that

381
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I just love and it's like therapy for me just

382
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 2>to listen to the running sound of running water and birds.

383
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I love that Wildbird's Unlimited here in the Greater Houston

384
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 2>area is a place to go to bring the sounds

385
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:54.759
<v Speaker 2>in to your landscape. Folks at Wildbirds Unlimited have every

386
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of equipment you need, from bird feeders to the

387
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>little bird baths, to quality quality bird seeds and blends.

388
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Right now, they've got the seed of the season. I

389
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 2>guess the blend of the season is Nesting Super Blend

390
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 2>and it's only available at Wildbirds Unlimited. It's got all

391
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 2>the things in it that birds love and need when

392
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.200
<v Speaker 2>they are doing things like laying eggs and bird young

393
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 2>birds are developing in need that calcium for support in

394
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>their skeletal development. You can get Nesting super Blend with

395
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 2>loose seed bags or seed cylinders or compacted cylinders, however

396
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.359
<v Speaker 2>you want to go about it, and you can get

397
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 2>it anywhere at one of the six wild Birds Unlimited

398
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.200
<v Speaker 2>stores in the Greater Houston area. That includes the one

399
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 2>in Cypress up on Barker Cypress, the one in West

400
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Houston on Memorial, the one in south West East Snow

401
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>in bel Air in Paarland on Broadway, in clear Lake

402
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 2>on El Dorado in Kingwood on Kingwood Drive. Why there,

403
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>make sure and check out my favorite humming bird feeder,

404
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.240
<v Speaker 2>which is the wild Birds Unlimited hygh Perch hummingbird feeder.

405
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:58.599
<v Speaker 2>You can see all the birds. It's a little flat

406
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>feeder where you can see all the birds when they

407
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.920
<v Speaker 2>come to it. It's really simple to use and clean

408
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:06.880
<v Speaker 2>and everything like that. So I like it so much,

409
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.039
<v Speaker 2>which isn't a surprise, because I love going to Wildbirds

410
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 2>in Limit already do Let's see, we're gonna go out

411
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.720
<v Speaker 2>to the galleria now and we're gonna visit with Forest

412
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>this morning. Hey, Forest, welcome to guard Line.

413
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.359
<v Speaker 5>Thank you Skip. I've got an issue with my tomatoes.

414
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm finding little holes where it looks like things are

415
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 5>boring into it. I think it might be a caterpillar

416
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.839
<v Speaker 5>or a worm problem, and I'm wondering what your Yeah,

417
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 5>what your recommendation is for putting on that to prevent that.

418
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it could be a tomato pinworm, or it could

419
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 2>be one There's several caterpillars that will chew on a tomato,

420
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and pinworms make a little tiny holes. Some of the

421
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:50.960
<v Speaker 2>worms will tend to push in right up where the

422
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.880
<v Speaker 2>klyx where the tomato attaches. They kind of squeeze in

423
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:55.920
<v Speaker 2>there and go in. Others just grab the side of

424
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a tomato and chump their way in BT, Bacillis threne

425
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.240
<v Speaker 2>gensis is the ingredient in a number of brands of sprays.

426
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:09.400
<v Speaker 2>BT is one natural worm or a caterpillar disease, and

427
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.599
<v Speaker 2>so you spray it. Caterpillars get sick. Nothing else gets sick,

428
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 2>which is a nice thing about BT. But you got

429
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:17.799
<v Speaker 2>to use it pretty often. It only lasts a day

430
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:20.839
<v Speaker 2>or two in the environment, and then you need to

431
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 2>respray it periodically to make sure that you get them

432
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:27.319
<v Speaker 2>spray the foliage and the fruit.

433
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:30.880
<v Speaker 6>I have some I have some nme oil.

434
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.559
<v Speaker 5>Does nem oil have that in it?

435
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:36.559
<v Speaker 2>No, it doesn't. It is that neme oil is also

436
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>a natural product. It would work really well when you're

437
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>smothering mites or aphids or even young scale crawlers that

438
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:48.799
<v Speaker 2>are out and about name works it? Actually, you know

439
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 2>what would name kill a I don't, okay. There's two

440
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 2>forms of name for us. One is the name oil,

441
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:58.359
<v Speaker 2>which they squeeze the oil out of the seed of

442
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:02.839
<v Speaker 2>the plant, and that's what you're purchasing. The other is

443
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.279
<v Speaker 2>the ingredient as a direct and it is found in

444
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the name tree, but it's an extracted ingredient that comes

445
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>out of it, so they they're different. That as a

446
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:17.440
<v Speaker 2>directing form might do a good job for you. The

447
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.880
<v Speaker 2>oil form for this particular problem, I don't think would

448
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 2>be as good of a job.

449
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 5>But you mentioned you mentioned said BP is the active

450
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 5>ingredient in the in the other chemical.

451
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, B as in boy teas in tom B t

452
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>O B. Yeah. There's a lot of brand, a lot

453
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.720
<v Speaker 2>of brands of that. You go into any A's hardware store,

454
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, garden Center, they're gonna know what BT is.

455
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 6>Got it all right?

456
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.000
<v Speaker 7>Thank you, sir?

457
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Having good morning. You bet for us. Now, you know

458
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.960
<v Speaker 2>on guardline we don't charge for advice, but I do

459
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.680
<v Speaker 2>expect to see half the tomatoes at the station sometime

460
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>this summer, so we'll call it even.

461
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys, take care, Sorry.

462
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 2>You bet all right. B and B turf Pros is

463
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 2>the source you look to when it comes to compost

464
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.920
<v Speaker 2>stop dressing and corporation down in the south and southwest

465
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Houston region. You know, from Sugarland across from Missouri City,

466
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.920
<v Speaker 2>all the way down Highway six. You know our Cola

467
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Manvil Alvin, all the way over to Dickinson and League

468
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.720
<v Speaker 2>City just across forty five, Friendswood, Paarland. That whole region

469
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:35.039
<v Speaker 2>south and southwest, a little bit southeast. They covered that

470
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 2>and they're a family owned service that does quality work.

471
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:42.000
<v Speaker 2>They are all about customer satisfaction. Their review show it.

472
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 2>They make a personal connection with you. They want to

473
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:49.960
<v Speaker 2>know you are satisfied now. Prices for corrodoration and compost

474
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:53.839
<v Speaker 2>stop dressing they are around They start around five hundred

475
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>dollars depending on the yard size and how far a

476
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.480
<v Speaker 2>company has to travel. Because it is it is a

477
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 2>cost the endeavor for them to do it, but it works.

478
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.759
<v Speaker 2>It does work. Now through the month of May, they

479
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>are offering free aeration with the purchasing of the top dressing.

480
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Through May free aerration. You buy the top dressing materials

481
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:19.720
<v Speaker 2>and service and they come do the aeration for free

482
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 2>and then do the top dress on top of it.

483
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:27.400
<v Speaker 2>BB Turfpros dot com b B turfpros dot com. That

484
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 2>is where you need to go see the work that

485
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker 2>they do. It's amazing. I mean, they transform landscapes. But

486
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:37.400
<v Speaker 2>you just need to check them out and get on

487
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:42.559
<v Speaker 2>the schedule. Let's see here. Oh I was I wanted

488
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 2>to visit a little bit this morning about some free

489
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:49.279
<v Speaker 2>tree questions that I've been hearing. Got some yesterday when

490
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I was out at Arburgate, and I hear these from

491
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:54.559
<v Speaker 2>time to time, and I just remember, you know, I

492
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 2>need to mention the more because I mentioned something on

493
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the radio and you're not listening now. You may be

494
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.960
<v Speaker 2>listening in five minutes from now or later today, later

495
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 2>this morning. But when it comes to fruit trees, a

496
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of fruit trees pollinate themselves, meaning that an insect

497
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.960
<v Speaker 2>can move the pollen from one flower on the tree,

498
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.759
<v Speaker 2>or we even within a flower to the other flowers

499
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:20.680
<v Speaker 2>and so you don't need to have a second pollinator variety.

500
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Some tree like well figs, for example, don't even need pollination.

501
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>The kind of fig we grow here doesn't need pollination.

502
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.000
<v Speaker 2>If you go out to California, a different type of

503
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.000
<v Speaker 2>fig out there that is pollinated by a little wasp,

504
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 2>but ours don't need it here. But if you are

505
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>going to grow a lot of citrus, trees are going

506
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.319
<v Speaker 2>to be self pollinating in terms of they don't. You

507
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:44.720
<v Speaker 2>don't have to have two different varieties of satsuma orange

508
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.720
<v Speaker 2>to have oranges. And then there are trees that peaches

509
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.759
<v Speaker 2>are self pollinating. By the way plums mostly there is

510
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 2>a plumb or two that doesn't need a pollinator. But

511
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 2>in general it's better if you plant too. That's true

512
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>blueberries too, whether it's rabbit eye blueberries Southern high bush blueberries,

513
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the two primary kind we grow here. If it's just

514
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.599
<v Speaker 2>one variety, you can get some blueberries, but if you

515
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:15.200
<v Speaker 2>plant two varieties you will get bigger and more blueberries.

516
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 2>And the reason is a little nerd alert here, but

517
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I think it's interesting. Blueberries can have dozens of seeds

518
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:28.319
<v Speaker 2>inside and in any fruit. When a seed is successfully

519
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:33.880
<v Speaker 2>pollinated in forms you're going to end up getting a

520
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.599
<v Speaker 2>release of a hormone from that seed that makes the

521
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.160
<v Speaker 2>fruit get bigger. If you see an apple that's lopsided,

522
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 2>cut through it sideways and you'll see the seed is

523
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:47.279
<v Speaker 2>dead on that side, that's not growing. Okay, So more pollination,

524
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:50.440
<v Speaker 2>more seed development in a blueberry means bigger berries. And

525
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:52.160
<v Speaker 2>that's true of a lot of kinds of fruit too.

526
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.119
<v Speaker 2>So two for pollination. Apples, you gotta have pollinators. Pears

527
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 2>for all practical purposes, have two for pollinating, and you

528
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:02.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of go through all the fruit and see, but

529
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.839
<v Speaker 2>check on that before you purchase fruit. A good unpop

530
00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:08.359
<v Speaker 2>garden center, independent garden center like you hear me talk

531
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:10.839
<v Speaker 2>about on garden Line. They're gonna know, they're gonna know,

532
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.039
<v Speaker 2>and they are gonna send you in the right direction

533
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.799
<v Speaker 2>on that. So you don't even have to worry about.

534
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Just ask them. They'll make sure you get set up right.

535
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna take a little break here. We'll be back

536
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 2>with your calls in just a moment. All right, Welcome

537
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 2>back to garden Line on a lovely Sunday morning. Good

538
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:28.440
<v Speaker 2>to have you with us. Hey, I have a tip

539
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:34.000
<v Speaker 2>for summer vines. Vines. We do not use vines enough

540
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.400
<v Speaker 2>in our landscapes here in this area, we don't. And

541
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.000
<v Speaker 2>there's so many good vines out there, and you know,

542
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 2>there's vines for pretty much every situation. There's old, tame vines,

543
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, like the flowering pea vine that is sun nice.

544
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:49.920
<v Speaker 2>People use the flowers to flavor drinks, and then there's

545
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.640
<v Speaker 2>vines that like. Coral vine is one of my favorite vines.

546
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:56.920
<v Speaker 2>It blooms late in the summer and early fall. It

547
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 2>basically is coming out of a sweet potato like structure underground.

548
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.160
<v Speaker 2>But the only thing about coral vine is it likes

549
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>to run, and it will run like a kindergartener on

550
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 2>the first day school. You gotta be careful, don't just

551
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:11.359
<v Speaker 2>let it take over. But if you have it on

552
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.799
<v Speaker 2>antin contained structure, it is wonderful. And boy, are you

553
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.960
<v Speaker 2>supporting pollinators They will that place will be that thing

554
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.440
<v Speaker 2>will be a buzz but beautiful fruit. Anyway, I was

555
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.039
<v Speaker 2>thinking about that added enchanted gardens down in Richmond Rosenberg,

556
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.640
<v Speaker 2>they've got a nice selection of vines. There's one called

557
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.680
<v Speaker 2>snail vine that looks it's curled up kind of like

558
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.519
<v Speaker 2>a snailshell, and you have to use your imagination a

559
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 2>little bit, but it's pretty cool. Things like passion vine

560
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:40.759
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful, beautiful vines. So many good options out there.

561
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Mexican flame vines another good one. Put them on an

562
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:46.319
<v Speaker 2>arbor for shade. Plan them where they can cover a

563
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:50.480
<v Speaker 2>west wall for saving on your electric bill. We need

564
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to use vines, more annual vines, perennial vines, woody vines.

565
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.359
<v Speaker 2>There are so many options. You ought to did that.

566
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 2>By the way, if you get a chance, go to

567
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Enchanted Gardens Richmond and find out more about the garden center,

568
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.759
<v Speaker 2>how to get there, everything you need to know. It's

569
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 2>open today from ten am to four pm Monday through

570
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 2>Saturday eight am to five pm. Lots of beautiful plants there.

571
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's head out to Cove, Texas and we're gonna speak

572
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.920
<v Speaker 2>to Dnnis this morning. Hey, Dennis, welcome to gardline.

573
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:24.920
<v Speaker 7>Thank you, Skip. I sent a couple of pictures. They're

574
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.599
<v Speaker 7>the same thing. I meant to take pictures last evening

575
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 7>and then for good. So it's still a little dark

576
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 7>this morning, but I got a big tree and just

577
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 7>one limb. I saw this yesterday I was doing yard work.

578
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:43.440
<v Speaker 7>All the leaves are practically they're just shriveled up brown

579
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:48.880
<v Speaker 7>right fall, and the rest of the tree is fine.

580
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:52.559
<v Speaker 7>I examined the limb, you know, all the way down

581
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:57.119
<v Speaker 7>and I can't see like any damage to the limb itself,

582
00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.240
<v Speaker 7>you know. And he's like it's broken away at the

583
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:00.720
<v Speaker 7>base like that.

584
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I saw that email in the photos and

585
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:09.359
<v Speaker 2>your description. There's a plumbing problem. Something has just shut

586
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>off the flow of water nutrients to that branch. Now,

587
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you what it is. I mean, it

588
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.000
<v Speaker 2>could be little tiny holes of a bore in there.

589
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:18.880
<v Speaker 2>It could be a stem canker somewhere along the branch

590
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>or something else. I would take your thumbnail and kind

591
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:27.200
<v Speaker 2>of scratch the bark back on that branch. It's early

592
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.799
<v Speaker 2>enough to where it may not be fully browning yet,

593
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:32.880
<v Speaker 2>but it will be, and probably that whole branch is

594
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>going to need to come out down at the ground level.

595
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh just cut that branch out of the tree. Now.

596
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Any other pruning you're doing, you're going to want to

597
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:43.680
<v Speaker 2>sterilize those punters just in case. So get you some

598
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 2>ly salt and after you proNT it, clean them up

599
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and spram with lisoalt to get make sure you kill

600
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 2>anything on it. That way, if you were to cut

601
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.839
<v Speaker 2>on another branch, you wouldn't If that the canker is

602
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 2>the problem, you wouldn't be spreading it. But that that's

603
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:57.920
<v Speaker 2>what I would do, all.

604
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.920
<v Speaker 7>Right, okay, and I where I cut it? Is there

605
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:04.960
<v Speaker 7>anything that it would be useful to put you know,

606
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.039
<v Speaker 7>where I make the cut, any kind of I don't know,

607
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:10.039
<v Speaker 7>killing agent or something.

608
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Need to do any of that.

609
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 7>Okay.

610
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Now, figs are vigorous, you should get some more unless

611
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:18.359
<v Speaker 2>you just have a root rot in the ground, and

612
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>then that's a whole different monster. We don't have a

613
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 2>good way to control root rots on figs to be just.

614
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.279
<v Speaker 8>To be blunt about it, that's only the one branch.

615
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:30.559
<v Speaker 7>So I'll remain hopeful.

616
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, something that's as far as it goes, Yes, sir,

617
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.680
<v Speaker 2>thank you, Dennis, appreciate your call this morning. Uh Nelson

618
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.119
<v Speaker 2>plant Food. They have a number of products, you know,

619
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:44.039
<v Speaker 2>the church Star line for the lawn, the bags of fertilizer,

620
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:46.920
<v Speaker 2>and then they have the nutri Star which is specific

621
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:49.279
<v Speaker 2>to different kinds of plants. The one I want to

622
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.519
<v Speaker 2>talk about is nutristar citrus fruit and avocado food. So basically,

623
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 2>if it grows something you eat, the fruit you eat,

624
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>this is for it. I don't care if it's a

625
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.200
<v Speaker 2>percimin or a fig or a plumber, a pair or

626
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, grape vines or avocados or lemons and limes

627
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.920
<v Speaker 2>and oranges, and it's a fruit and this is for that.

628
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Especially formulate. It's got a balance ratio of nutrients, promotes

629
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.119
<v Speaker 2>vigorous growth, good root development, and therefore you're going to

630
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 2>get better production. This formulation also includes micro nutrients that

631
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.320
<v Speaker 2>help prevent some of the common deficiencies that we can

632
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:25.800
<v Speaker 2>see on some of our fruit plants. Nelson plant Food,

633
00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:29.800
<v Speaker 2>nutri Star citrus fruit and avocado food comes a little jar.

634
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:33.800

635
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.440

636
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.440
<v Speaker 2>of different places, but it's one worth having. If you

677
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:03.559
<v Speaker 2>this when we come back, I want to visit with

678
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:08.320
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit about success with the lawns and

679
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:11.039
<v Speaker 2>some of the steps and stages and things to watch

680
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 2>for that we're looking at right now. In the meantime,

681
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:17.079
<v Speaker 2>you got a minute, go to my website, gardening with

682
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Skip dot com and look at the lawn schedules. There's

683
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:26.360
<v Speaker 2>one for lawn care, which is basically mowwater, fertilized and

684
00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:30.280
<v Speaker 2>micronutrients and aeration, all the things you do to make

685
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.679
<v Speaker 2>that lawn healthy and pretty and vigorous and dense. Okay.

686
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:37.559
<v Speaker 2>The other schedule is basically everything that goes wrong in

687
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:42.599
<v Speaker 2>the lawn from the standpoint of pests and diseases, weeds

688
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that you may want to prevent, or weeds that you

689
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:48.920
<v Speaker 2>want to kill that are actually growing currently and those

690
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:52.199
<v Speaker 2>two schedules are free to download. They tell you products

691
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.000
<v Speaker 2>to use for various things that are out there. They

692
00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:58.639
<v Speaker 2>include organic and synthetic options for those of you who

693
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.039
<v Speaker 2>want to go one way or the other on that.

694
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:04.639
<v Speaker 2>But they're free. And check out that website. I think

695
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you'll find some interesting information. We keep adding to it.

696
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:11.679
<v Speaker 2>We just put some things up recently that I'll talk

697
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:13.840
<v Speaker 2>about a little bit later in the show today. But

698
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:15.800
<v Speaker 2>when we come back, I want to talk about some

699
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:19.599
<v Speaker 2>secrets on lawns like that if I can get through

700
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:23.079
<v Speaker 2>the phone calls when we get back. I hope you're

701
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:26.320
<v Speaker 2>having a good Sunday morning, and I do hope that

702
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.400
<v Speaker 2>this afternoon you get a little bit of time and

703
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:31.559
<v Speaker 2>or break get by one of her garden centers. They

704
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:35.679
<v Speaker 2>are just burgeoning with beautiful plants right now. It looks

705
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.840
<v Speaker 2>so good and there's so much inspiration. That's one of

706
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 2>the things that I like to do is go to

707
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:44.880
<v Speaker 2>garden centers and get inspiration. See new plants, see new

708
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:48.960
<v Speaker 2>ways of combining plants. I like to drive around town too,

709
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:51.679
<v Speaker 2>for the same reason. You know, very if possible, when

710
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I go somewhere, I don't use the major thoroughfare. You

711
00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:57.519
<v Speaker 2>know if I'm going through a town, I'll zigzag through

712
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.000
<v Speaker 2>streets just because you never know what you're going to say.

713
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.280
<v Speaker 2>And that includes a good, the bad, and the ugly.

714
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:05.639
<v Speaker 2>And I've got pictures to show to prove it. But

715
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:08.239
<v Speaker 2>you always you get some inspiration when you see what

716
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:10.199
<v Speaker 2>other people have done. Maybe it's just the shape of

717
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:13.079
<v Speaker 2>a bed, maybe it is a particular plant, maybe it's

718
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:17.840
<v Speaker 2>a combination of plants. What is appealing esthetically to you,

719
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:21.360
<v Speaker 2>And so keep an eye out when you drive around,

720
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.760
<v Speaker 2>go see botanical gardens, and like I said, go see

721
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:28.679
<v Speaker 2>garden centers, and it's been inspiration. Excuse me for you

722
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:31.599
<v Speaker 2>to have success with what you do. Take a little

723
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:41.239
<v Speaker 2>break here, we'll be back and with your calls. All right,

724
00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:45.559
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to the garden Line. Hey, thanks for joining

725
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:47.320
<v Speaker 2>us this morning. We got a lot of things to

726
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:49.840
<v Speaker 2>talk about this morning. I was mentioning before we went

727
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:51.559
<v Speaker 2>to break that I don't want to make a couple of

728
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:56.800
<v Speaker 2>comments about lawns. And right now we are transitioning into

729
00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:59.880
<v Speaker 2>the warm season. It's it's kind of it doesn't feel

730
00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:02.599
<v Speaker 2>like right now, but it's cool. I appreciate the cool.

731
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Don't complain because that's going to change. But in the

732
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:10.159
<v Speaker 2>warm season, our grass is everything's happening fast down in

733
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the soil. Microbes are going crazy. There's organic matter and

734
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.360
<v Speaker 2>they're decomposing it, and all kinds of things are transitioning

735
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:19.480
<v Speaker 2>in the soil and making the grass really happy. And

736
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.199
<v Speaker 2>all you got to do is add water, as they

737
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:24.360
<v Speaker 2>put it, when we don't have water, good soaking on

738
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:29.519
<v Speaker 2>a periodic basis is important. People miss water, miss water.

739
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:33.519
<v Speaker 2>They overwater, and they miss water lawns. That happens a lot.

740
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:36.719
<v Speaker 2>And what I mean by miswatering, well, when you're going

741
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to spend money on drinking water and you're going to

742
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.119
<v Speaker 2>squirt it out there on the lawn, you want to

743
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:44.920
<v Speaker 2>get every straw, every bit you can out of every drop.

744
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.079
<v Speaker 2>And so if you squirre Let's say you take an

745
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:49.199
<v Speaker 2>inch of water, which is about what a lawn needs

746
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:54.719
<v Speaker 2>during a week in the absence of rainfall, and you

747
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 2>put an inch on at one time by watering a

748
00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:59.159
<v Speaker 2>while letting it sit for forty five minutes, watering a

749
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 2>while letting it sit forty minute. You know, like that

750
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:04.119
<v Speaker 2>cycling soak is what they call it. That one inch

751
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:07.159
<v Speaker 2>basically almost all gets in the soil. You know, some

752
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:10.440
<v Speaker 2>evaporates off the foliage of the grass at the end

753
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:13.800
<v Speaker 2>when you quit watering. But on the other hand, if

754
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you took that inch and divide it into four quarter

755
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:20.000
<v Speaker 2>inch irrigations, you would barely with the soil at all.

756
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean hardly at all to be on the grass blades,

757
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to be in the thatch, and it just wouldn't with

758
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the soil well at all, And each of those then

759
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.280
<v Speaker 2>would evaporate all away, so you get very little water

760
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:33.039
<v Speaker 2>in the soil when you do a little squirt on

761
00:41:33.079 --> 00:41:35.320
<v Speaker 2>a frequent basis. It's better to give it a good

762
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:39.480
<v Speaker 2>soaking and then to let it dry out in between waterings.

763
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:41.360
<v Speaker 2>When I say dry out, I don't mean go into

764
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:44.719
<v Speaker 2>stress and die and all that. I just mean to

765
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:47.360
<v Speaker 2>really get to the point where that grass needs a

766
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:51.440
<v Speaker 2>drink of water, okay. And by doing that, that soil

767
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.599
<v Speaker 2>volume that was full of water from that one inch

768
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:58.159
<v Speaker 2>soaking then begins to bring air back in as as

769
00:41:58.199 --> 00:41:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the grass uses the water and pulls it out of

770
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the soil, and those spaces that had water in them

771
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.639
<v Speaker 2>now are filled with air, which means oxygen down into

772
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:09.679
<v Speaker 2>the root system. When you constantly keep it soggy wet

773
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:11.679
<v Speaker 2>at the top. You're not going to get oxygen down

774
00:42:11.760 --> 00:42:13.199
<v Speaker 2>in the root system, you're not going to get the

775
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.599
<v Speaker 2>healthy grass. You are going to increase disease, and you're

776
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:19.199
<v Speaker 2>wasting your money on water. What else can I say that?

777
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:23.320
<v Speaker 2>That's the bottom line water wisely, and it's not that

778
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:25.840
<v Speaker 2>hard to do. I'm sure I'll be talking about it

779
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:31.000
<v Speaker 2>as we go through the summer, but water wisely, let's

780
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:34.679
<v Speaker 2>head out to Jim in a tascasita. Hey, Jim, welcome

781
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:35.440
<v Speaker 2>back to Gardenline.

782
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you very much, sir. And the question is

783
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:45.400
<v Speaker 1>is it asthma nite. The comparison to ozma cot is

784
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that basically the same group no.

785
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:54.920
<v Speaker 2>No. Ozma coat is a sulfur coated product that looks

786
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:59.000
<v Speaker 2>like a little bbes and it has depending on what

787
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of ozma, know what you buy, it can have

788
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.960
<v Speaker 2>different nutrient groups in it, but it's primarily the macro

789
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.400
<v Speaker 2>nutrients primarily that that you're putting out with the osma

790
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:11.280
<v Speaker 2>cote and then it gradually releases those into the soil

791
00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:14.599
<v Speaker 2>over time. The warmer it is, the faster it releases.

792
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:17.000
<v Speaker 2>So it may say it's going to last four months

793
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:19.400
<v Speaker 2>on the label, but not in summer. Here in Texas

794
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:24.199
<v Speaker 2>not in our area. So that's that. Azemite is a

795
00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:27.199
<v Speaker 2>trace mineral supplement. It's not codd it's not made to

796
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.320
<v Speaker 2>be slow released, and it doesn't need to be because

797
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:32.440
<v Speaker 2>it goes down in the soil and is there in

798
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:34.639
<v Speaker 2>the bank account for the grass to get it when

799
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:35.239
<v Speaker 2>it wants it.

800
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much, sir.

801
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:45.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, good luck with that, Thank you, sir. You know,

802
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:47.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe I ought to maybe I ought to talk about

803
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:51.400
<v Speaker 2>fertilizer a little bit in some of the forms and

804
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:53.800
<v Speaker 2>and why we do what we do. That that'd be

805
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:58.880
<v Speaker 2>another good topic for today. Grows Outlet and Willis Is

<v Speaker 2>hanging baskets, beautiful flowering hanging baskets, but the macho fern

826
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:07.199
<v Speaker 2>is just the big fern, I mean, and it can

827
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.280
<v Speaker 2>get big and boy, you can buy smaller ones from them,

828
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:13.760
<v Speaker 2>but when one of their macho firms ferns gets big,

829
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's it's like five feet across or something's huge.

838
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:47.039
<v Speaker 2>going to run out now to Lakeside Estates and visit

839
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:50.599
<v Speaker 2>with the Maureene this morning. Hello Maureene, welcome to garden Line.

840
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:54.639
<v Speaker 11>Thank you very much. I think I have a simple question,

841
00:45:54.719 --> 00:46:01.400
<v Speaker 11>and it's really an identity problem. I have runners traveling

842
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:06.159
<v Speaker 11>in an area which got intense heat last year, and

843
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:11.519
<v Speaker 11>plus my lawn person really cropped it. So I'm dealing

844
00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:18.119
<v Speaker 11>with the question that these runners are filling in an

845
00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:21.119
<v Speaker 11>area I had called in and asked you and he said, no,

846
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:24.719
<v Speaker 11>don't put any sad long time of the year, and

847
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:28.800
<v Speaker 11>so these runners are sort of filling in. But I

848
00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:32.559
<v Speaker 11>have normal hYP grass and then I have these runners

849
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:37.519
<v Speaker 11>which flat, so my lawn person is not able to

850
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:41.440
<v Speaker 11>laun you know, to cut properly. So what should I

851
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:44.480
<v Speaker 11>be doing pulling those runners out and putting in a

852
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.559
<v Speaker 11>piece of sod that looks like grass.

853
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, Maureen, for me to really help you, I need

854
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:52.880
<v Speaker 2>to see them. I need to see what we're talking about.

855
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.079
<v Speaker 2>When if you will take some pictures, I'll put you

856
00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:59.960
<v Speaker 2>on hold and Alhandro. Give you an email and say

857
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:02.119

858
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:03.960
<v Speaker 2>back this morning and let's talk about it where I

00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:33.920
<v Speaker 2>out more. I'm going to take a little quick break here.

888
00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:36.119
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back with your calls in just a moment.

889
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the garden Line. Thanks for joining us

890
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:42.880
<v Speaker 2>this morning. Appreciate you listening in. I hope you're having

891
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:47.199
<v Speaker 2>a good Sunday morning so far. You know, it rained

892
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:49.599
<v Speaker 2>and it rained and it rained this past week, and

893
00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:51.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of areas got a lot of rain, and

894
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:54.480
<v Speaker 2>everywhere you get a little bit of water, standing mosquitoes

895
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:57.639
<v Speaker 2>are going to breed and we are on the verge

896
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:00.760
<v Speaker 2>of a big outbreak here coming up. That's just what

897
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:03.159
<v Speaker 2>happens in our area because we do get a lot

898
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:06.480
<v Speaker 2>of rain. Mosquito dunks are made to fix that. They

899
00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:09.800
<v Speaker 2>are not a poison in the sense of some chemical

900
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:14.000
<v Speaker 2>to kill mosquitos. They are a disease of mosquitos. And

901
00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:15.880
<v Speaker 2>now I have a bird drinks out of it, your

902
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:20.199
<v Speaker 2>family cat, if ladybug goes up to it, or anything,

903
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:23.719
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't affect them. It affects mosquitos. And mosquito dunks

904
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:26.239
<v Speaker 2>are small beige donuts. They float in water. One dunk

905
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:29.760
<v Speaker 2>covers one hundred square feet about thirty days of protection

906
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:33.119
<v Speaker 2>there and it really works well. And what some people

907
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:35.000
<v Speaker 2>will do is they'll take one and kind of hit

908
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:36.480
<v Speaker 2>it with a little hammer and break it up into

909
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:39.639
<v Speaker 2>little crumbles and throw those around in small spaces. Maybe

910
00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:43.119
<v Speaker 2>you got a little a bird bath or the plant

911
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:46.360
<v Speaker 2>reservoirs underneath plants that whole water. Boy, mosquitoes love to

912
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:49.960
<v Speaker 2>breathe those. But whatever you do, get dunks them in

913
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the house, be ready to go. And because mosquito season,

914
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:55.880
<v Speaker 2>we're in for months of it here. And if you've

915
00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:59.320
<v Speaker 2>got stagnant water, you will have mosquitos, and mosquito dunks

916
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:01.960
<v Speaker 2>will make sure you do not have mosquitoes growing in

917
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:06.199
<v Speaker 2>that water. Easy to find them sold in bead stores,

918
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:11.199
<v Speaker 2>ace hardware stores, garden centers. You go down Southwest Fertilizer

919
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:14.119
<v Speaker 2>and find them. They're easy to find. We're going to

920
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:17.079
<v Speaker 2>head out to Brownsville now and talk to John. Hello, John,

921
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:18.239
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden Line.

922
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:20.960
<v Speaker 4>Good morning Skip.

923
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.719
<v Speaker 13>I have a question about using art Do you have

924
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:30.880
<v Speaker 13>an opinion on using artificial intelligence to I don't know,

925
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:37.559
<v Speaker 13>diagnose something that you see, or identify or you know,

926
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:38.960
<v Speaker 13>anything to do with plan.

927
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good question. So there are lots of

928
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:51.079
<v Speaker 2>forms of artificial intelligence if you're looking for the diagnostics.

929
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:54.119
<v Speaker 2>I see these ads where they show a picture of

930
00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:56.360
<v Speaker 2>a leaf that's brown, and it's like they took a

931
00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:58.960
<v Speaker 2>picture of it and this app told them what was wrong.

932
00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:00.960
<v Speaker 2>And I've looked at what it says is wrong, and

933
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:04.719
<v Speaker 2>there's no way they can know that. It's just what

934
00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:07.559
<v Speaker 2>they took a picture of. Could be several things, and

935
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.960
<v Speaker 2>so people think it's handy, and if they don't understand plants,

936
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:12.639
<v Speaker 2>they're going to think, oh, well, this is the truth.

937
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:16.639
<v Speaker 2>And it isn't all the time. And I can't speak

938
00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:20.159
<v Speaker 2>to every app and every form of AI, but in general,

939
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:23.960
<v Speaker 2>be very skeptical of that sort of thing. Now, there

940
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:28.199
<v Speaker 2>are forms of AI, such as like a facial recognition

941
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:33.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing where it can look at well. Google

942
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:36.840
<v Speaker 2>has something called Google Lens and I use it a lot.

943
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:41.000
<v Speaker 2>But if you can isolate the plant you want identified

944
00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:44.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe by a bloom or by leaves, unless it's just

945
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:47.239
<v Speaker 2>a really common looking leave, it does a pretty good job.

946
00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:50.639
<v Speaker 2>It does real good on insects too, but it just

947
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:53.320
<v Speaker 2>looks at the form and it searches all through you know,

948
00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Google Seed and heard everything over the years. It searches

949
00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:58.880
<v Speaker 2>through everything and it says, this is what I think

950
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.199
<v Speaker 2>it is, and it often gives you several options, and

951
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:03.840
<v Speaker 2>even if it doesn't find the exact insect, at least

952
00:52:03.880 --> 00:52:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you go, oh, this is the family of insects, and

953
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:07.840
<v Speaker 2>you can kind of look into it a little more yourself.

954
00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:12.880
<v Speaker 2>But I use that there are plant apps too early on.

955
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I tried a bunch of them, and they seem to

956
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:19.920
<v Speaker 2>be more for other areas than for our area here.

957
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.280
<v Speaker 2>But that is not fair for me to make that

958
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:26.599
<v Speaker 2>as a permanent, ongoing statement. I'm sure they've gotten better,

959
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.880
<v Speaker 2>but because I use Google NS, I just don't I

960
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:33.440
<v Speaker 2>don't worry about all the other apps. But I'm sure

961
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:41.000
<v Speaker 2>there's some good ones out there. Okay, well, I appreciate it. Yeah, yeah,

962
00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I talked about one the other day the other day.

963
00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:45.760
<v Speaker 2>For birds, you out in the morning and you're sitting

964
00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:48.800
<v Speaker 2>there listening to all these birds, you can open the

965
00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:53.239
<v Speaker 2>the what's it called Merlin app It's free from Cornell University,

966
00:52:53.679 --> 00:52:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and it'll listen to the songs and you'll just start

967
00:52:56.920 --> 00:52:59.320
<v Speaker 2>to see birds appear on your screen the name I

968
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:02.320
<v Speaker 2>heard this bird, I heard that bird. That's pretty cool

969
00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:05.920
<v Speaker 2>stuff too. So there's a lot of good coming with AI,

970
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:13.599
<v Speaker 2>as well as some real concerning things. But it's getting better. Okay, Well,

971
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:16.480
<v Speaker 2>thank you very much, all right, sir, you bet yeah,

972
00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:22.440
<v Speaker 2>take care. Appreciate your call. Place well, Seasons is the

973
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:28.559
<v Speaker 2>place where people go for advice and for quality plants

974
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and products too. It amounts to that. I like the

975
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:35.920
<v Speaker 2>fact that when you shop the garden center, as you

976
00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:37.519
<v Speaker 2>go to a checkout, you have to go into where

977
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the fertilizers and the soils and things like that are

978
00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:43.360
<v Speaker 2>because brown's up before green stuff. Right, don't go home

979
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:46.800
<v Speaker 2>with a plant without going home with this stuff to

980
00:53:46.920 --> 00:53:50.639
<v Speaker 2>make that soil, that foundation for your plant a success.

981
00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:52.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's how it is there. Now you're going to

982
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:55.599
<v Speaker 2>find products to solve problems. They've probably heard every kind

983
00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:57.880
<v Speaker 2>of problem in the world. Been around since nineteen seventy three.

984
00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:02.599
<v Speaker 2>They're located on Tamboil Parkway Highway two forty nine, just

985
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:06.079
<v Speaker 2>north of Luetta, and it's easy to find them, easy

986
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:08.239
<v Speaker 2>to get to and when you walk in there, you

987
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:09.599
<v Speaker 2>can take them a picture. You can take them a

988
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:13.119
<v Speaker 2>little sampled in a bag. They'll look at it, identify it,

989
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and then tell you what to do for it. They're

990
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:16.840
<v Speaker 2>true lawn and garden experts. You can go to the

991
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:19.320
<v Speaker 2>website Plants for All Seasons dot com or give them

992
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:23.519
<v Speaker 2>a call to eight one three seven six one six

993
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:27.119
<v Speaker 2>four six to eight one three, seven, six, one six

994
00:54:27.239 --> 00:54:32.679
<v Speaker 2>four six. Let me make here. I wanted to We

995
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:38.119
<v Speaker 2>had a question a while ago about about some fertilizer specifics,

996
00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and I want to I want to make some comments

997
00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:45.239
<v Speaker 2>about that plants need nutrients, and there's you know, it

998
00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:49.119
<v Speaker 2>depends on the count that you you read, but there's

999
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:52.519
<v Speaker 2>around twenty different nutrients that plants need, and some some

1000
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:55.400
<v Speaker 2>things are only used at certain times in a plant's

1001
00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:59.280
<v Speaker 2>life or at certain stages and things. But in general,

1002
00:54:59.320 --> 00:55:01.840
<v Speaker 2>just say I run twent nutrients that a plant is

1003
00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:05.880
<v Speaker 2>going to need. Those nutrients come in many forms, many

1004
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:09.480
<v Speaker 2>of them in multiple forms, and there's forms plants can

1005
00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:12.920
<v Speaker 2>get and there's forms plants can't get. You could have

1006
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a let's say, an azalea or gardena that's showing iron efficiency,

1007
00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:20.760
<v Speaker 2>just clear as a bell with yellow new growth at

1008
00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:23.440
<v Speaker 2>the ends of branches, and you send a sauce sample

1009
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:26.079
<v Speaker 2>in and they say, there's lots of iron in the soil. Now,

1010
00:55:26.119 --> 00:55:30.000
<v Speaker 2>how can that be. It's because a higher pH and

1011
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:35.199
<v Speaker 2>or hyphosphorus has made that iron a form that's unavailable

1012
00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:40.800
<v Speaker 2>to the plant. Nitrogen goes through forms. There's nitrode, there's ammonia,

1013
00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:46.519
<v Speaker 2>and bacteria and other processes in the soil are constantly

1014
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:49.920
<v Speaker 2>changing the form of nitrogen. The nitrogen the air you're

1015
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:54.320
<v Speaker 2>breathing is about seventy eight percent I think nitrogen something

1016
00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:56.960
<v Speaker 2>like that. Well, you set a houseplant on the table

1017
00:55:57.039 --> 00:56:00.800
<v Speaker 2>in this seventy eight percent nitrogen air, and it's not

1018
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:04.360
<v Speaker 2>going to turn green because it can't get the endto molecule.

1019
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:07.280
<v Speaker 2>The nitrogen that we breathe in every day way more

1020
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:11.679
<v Speaker 2>than what we breathe in of oxygen. But bacteria can

1021
00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:14.239
<v Speaker 2>transform things. There's bacteria in the soil that can take

1022
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:17.159
<v Speaker 2>air nitrogen and can turn it into a form plants

1023
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:20.599
<v Speaker 2>can use, and it's constantly evolving in the soil in

1024
00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:24.679
<v Speaker 2>that way. So when we look at fertilizers, we just

1025
00:56:24.760 --> 00:56:29.239
<v Speaker 2>need to realize that in that fertilizer are nutrients in

1026
00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:31.840
<v Speaker 2>hopefully in a form that plants can use or that

1027
00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:35.320
<v Speaker 2>microbes can use to break that down. So if you

1028
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:39.800
<v Speaker 2>have a synthetic fertilizer, typically a salt based fertilizer, it

1029
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:42.880
<v Speaker 2>gets wet, it dissolves, and those nutrients go out there

1030
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:45.559
<v Speaker 2>for the plants to be able to take up. An

1031
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:49.719
<v Speaker 2>organic type fertilizer, it is in an organic form, but

1032
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:55.519
<v Speaker 2>in that form something like nitrogen gets released as microbes

1033
00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:58.480
<v Speaker 2>work on it into the soil and a form plants

1034
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:01.239
<v Speaker 2>can use. That's how nature runs. I mean, long before

1035
00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:06.280
<v Speaker 2>there were fertilizers around, Nature is doing fine just taking

1036
00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:09.000
<v Speaker 2>care of its plants and the soil, you know, by

1037
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:12.119
<v Speaker 2>the beautiful natural system that was designed to take care

1038
00:57:12.119 --> 00:57:16.599
<v Speaker 2>of plants as organic matter decomposes. But when a plant

1039
00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:18.719
<v Speaker 2>takes something up, it's going to take it up in

1040
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:22.480
<v Speaker 2>whatever form of that nutrient that the plant can take up,

1041
00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:28.760
<v Speaker 2>whether it's potassium, or nitrogen or magnesium, you know what

1042
00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, So are phosphorus, and so those forms are

1043
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:35.639
<v Speaker 2>out there and they're available and there they typically in

1044
00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:38.440
<v Speaker 2>many cases are kind of cycling and changing around. Now

1045
00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:41.239
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the micronutrients, if they're in the right

1046
00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:43.280
<v Speaker 2>form that plants can take up. I said that about

1047
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:46.719
<v Speaker 2>iron a while ago. Uh, those need to be in

1048
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:49.679
<v Speaker 2>the sole bank account, as do other nutrients. And just

1049
00:57:49.719 --> 00:57:52.159
<v Speaker 2>be aware of the fact that you get a gully

1050
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:54.920
<v Speaker 2>washer rain and you're going to lose some nitrogen because

1051
00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:58.800
<v Speaker 2>it's going to wash away. Nitrogen on the surface is

1052
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:01.280
<v Speaker 2>going to volatilize and go off as a gas. That's

1053
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:04.239
<v Speaker 2>something that can happen too, and there's ways we lose

1054
00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:06.559
<v Speaker 2>nutrients like that. But our goal is to build that

1055
00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:09.440
<v Speaker 2>sole bank account. And then there are things called slow

1056
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:13.440
<v Speaker 2>release fertilizers, and these are done in a number of forms.

1057
00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:18.199
<v Speaker 2>There's different chemistries if you will, that can release slowly.

1058
00:58:18.280 --> 00:58:23.119
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned a sulfur coated products that are little prills

1059
00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:26.800
<v Speaker 2>as type of fertilizer that slowly It's like little pits

1060
00:58:26.840 --> 00:58:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and holes in the coating around that that the nutrients

1061
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:34.360
<v Speaker 2>inside can get wet from moisture and then they can

1062
00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:36.840
<v Speaker 2>leak out and make it available to plants. There's other

1063
00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:40.199
<v Speaker 2>forms that microbes have to break down. There's other forms

1064
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:44.159
<v Speaker 2>that are totally well. They don't respond to getting wet

1065
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and water. There's a different way that those typically nitrogen

1066
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:49.519
<v Speaker 2>can release, and that's where we get some of the

1067
00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:52.679
<v Speaker 2>really slow releasing nitrogens. And when you see these products

1068
00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:55.599
<v Speaker 2>that are going to feed for months, that's probably what's

1069
00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:58.599
<v Speaker 2>going on in those. You don't have to worry about

1070
00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:01.079
<v Speaker 2>all of that, but just be aware that the soil

1071
00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:04.320
<v Speaker 2>is a bank account and these nutrients are in different forms.

1072
00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:07.880
<v Speaker 2>A soil test is always helpful. I recommend fertilizers all

1073
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the time here on guarden Line that are your general guide.

1074
00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Probably going to work on ninety five percent of people's

1075
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:18.320
<v Speaker 2>yards is exactly what they need, right, But there's always exceptions.

1076
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:23.039
<v Speaker 2>If for whatever reason in the past, your yard was misfertilized,

1077
00:59:23.320 --> 00:59:25.400
<v Speaker 2>or the type of soil you have just didn't have

1078
00:59:25.480 --> 00:59:28.320
<v Speaker 2>that nutrient and adequate numbers, you may need a little

1079
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:30.960
<v Speaker 2>different combo for your yard, but a soil test would

1080
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:33.519
<v Speaker 2>tell you that, and that's why I recommend getting your

1081
00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:35.639
<v Speaker 2>sol tested. You can go to my website Gardening with

1082
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:38.559
<v Speaker 2>skip dot com. Gardening with skip dot com. There is

1083
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:41.199
<v Speaker 2>a SOL testing publication on there, tells you how to

1084
00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:43.039
<v Speaker 2>do it, tells you how to get to the form,

1085
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:46.000
<v Speaker 2>tells you how to send it in, and that is

1086
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:48.000
<v Speaker 2>your foundation. You have to do that every year, just

1087
00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:50.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe over five years. Just check on it and make

1088
00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:53.639
<v Speaker 2>sure you're in the right ballpark so that you fertilize

1089
00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:58.519
<v Speaker 2>intelligently rather than going with the probably in most cases

1090
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:04.280
<v Speaker 2>good advice, but not the best answer for your specific yard,

1091
01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:07.079
<v Speaker 2>because your yard may be different than your neighbors because

1092
01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:10.639
<v Speaker 2>of past fertilization. All right, well, that's a lot of

1093
01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:13.320
<v Speaker 2>information right there. We're gonna take a little break here.

1094
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I speaking of those, I wanted to mention Ciena Maltz.

1104
01:00:48.119 --> 01:00:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Good to have you. We've got a lot of things

1105
01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to talk about today, including what you want to talk about.

1106
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Give me a call seven one three two one two

1107
01:00:57.039 --> 01:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>ktr H seven one three two one two KTRH. Will

1108
01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:03.119
<v Speaker 2>is it about whatever kind of horticultural topics that you

1109
01:01:03.199 --> 01:01:06.639
<v Speaker 2>might have? I was talking about nutrients going into that

1110
01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:11.559
<v Speaker 2>break there. Microlife is the number one selling organic fertilizer

1111
01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:13.559
<v Speaker 2>in the Greater Houston area. This is a six two

1112
01:01:13.639 --> 01:01:16.039
<v Speaker 2>four bag, the green bag that I'm referring to. It's

1113
01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:19.800
<v Speaker 2>a standard, you know, elephant in the room with Microlife

1114
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>fertilizers used on lawns by people for many, many years now.

1115
01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Microlife's been around for over thirty five years. And when

1116
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>you look at a product like the sixty four the

1117
01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>green bag, you're getting a three one to two ratio

1118
01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:35.519
<v Speaker 2>of nutrients, which isn't the ratio that grass takes up

1119
01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>nutrients in, so it makes sense for the lawn. They

1120
01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:43.719
<v Speaker 2>also have products for acid loving plants. They have products

1121
01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:47.199
<v Speaker 2>for if you're growing fruit trees and things. They make

1122
01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>special products for various kinds of plants. And they have

1123
01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:53.119
<v Speaker 2>both the granular that we put out with the spreader

1124
01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:56.679
<v Speaker 2>around the yard, and then they've got the containers that

1125
01:01:56.760 --> 01:01:59.199
<v Speaker 2>are granulars that are smaller. They're not the big bags,

1126
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>but they're smaller containers. And then they have liquid products.

1127
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>And the liquid products include a lot of different things.

1128
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, in granules, you can get the humates plus

1129
01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>concentrated compost in a bag to put out with your

1130
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>lawn fertilizer just not a don't think of it as

1131
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a fertilizer. Think of it as a product to help

1132
01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>improve the soil and nutrient availability. But with the liquids,

1133
01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you can get products that are just specifically certain microorganisms

1134
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:31.679
<v Speaker 2>that are beneficial to plants, that help fight disease and things.

1135
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>They built their product line around using nature principles in

1136
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>order to help make plants healthy and more successful. Whether

1137
01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:45.239
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to grow fruit or vegetables, or flowers or

1138
01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:49.199
<v Speaker 2>a lawn or trees or shrubs. Microlife's got products for everything,

1139
01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and they work. Microlafertilizer dot Com that's the website. Check

1140
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>them out. You're going to find them everywhere. It's hard

1141
01:02:55.639 --> 01:02:57.920
<v Speaker 2>to walk into a place that doesn't have microlafe fertilizer

1142
01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:00.679
<v Speaker 2>these days, and that is a good thing. We're going

1143
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>to go now out to Lakeside of States and talk

1144
01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:07.079
<v Speaker 2>to Marine. Hello, Marine, got your photos.

1145
01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

1146
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:12.079
<v Speaker 11>I tried to take it face down, and then I

1147
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.599
<v Speaker 11>realized I had to take it sort of squatting down

1148
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:19.599
<v Speaker 11>so you could see the difference that it's making in

1149
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:21.159
<v Speaker 11>the lawn appearance.

1150
01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I can see it. So here, here's here's

1151
01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>the here's the first thing I see every other than

1152
01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of weed here in weeds here and there. Uh,

1153
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>that is all your Saint Augustine lawn. The upright grass

1154
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>is the established hasn't been damaged or hurt grass coming up.

1155
01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Those runners that are flat and going out across that's

1156
01:03:43.480 --> 01:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Saint Augustine trying to fill back in. Something killed the

1157
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:49.679
<v Speaker 2>grass in that area and now it's trying to regrow

1158
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:54.239
<v Speaker 2>runners into that area. I see iron deficiency, which is

1159
01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>probably due to a disease called take All Root Rot.

1160
01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>If you go to my schedule on my website, it's

1161
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>gardening with skip dot com. Look at the disease schedule

1162
01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:08.880
<v Speaker 2>for lawns and you'll see take All Root Rot. Mentioned.

1163
01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>October is the big month for controlling it. But something

1164
01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I think would be helpful for you to do right

1165
01:04:14.440 --> 01:04:17.159
<v Speaker 2>now is if you can get some peat moss, the

1166
01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:22.159
<v Speaker 2>compact peat moss and spread it out over those areas

1167
01:04:22.280 --> 01:04:25.039
<v Speaker 2>about a third of an inch thick, just a little bit,

1168
01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>but spread it out and then water it in really well.

1169
01:04:29.519 --> 01:04:33.559
<v Speaker 2>And then your next step is to get a product

1170
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:38.360
<v Speaker 2>from Fertiloan that is liquid iron and other micronutrients from Furloan.

1171
01:04:38.360 --> 01:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a gray bottle by fur Loan, liquid iron and

1172
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>other micronutrients. Follow the label and Follier spray that grass

1173
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:49.119
<v Speaker 2>with that in those areas because it's struggling. What's happening

1174
01:04:49.239 --> 01:04:52.639
<v Speaker 2>is the roots are dying back down the runner and

1175
01:04:52.679 --> 01:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the grass is trying to stretch out grow as fast

1176
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:57.840
<v Speaker 2>as it can to get new roots in the ground,

1177
01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>but the disease is also catching up those And by

1178
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:04.679
<v Speaker 2>using the fertilough, you're going to sort of bypass the

1179
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:07.639
<v Speaker 2>fact that it doesn't have the roots that take up

1180
01:05:07.639 --> 01:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these nutrients. You're going to kind of

1181
01:05:09.199 --> 01:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>fold your feed your grass in a sense with those nutrients.

1182
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:14.639
<v Speaker 2>So I would do those two things, and then in

1183
01:05:14.679 --> 01:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>October look at my schedule and it tells you what

1184
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>to use. You want a product. The first thing it's

1185
01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:24.039
<v Speaker 2>listed is called a zoxystrobin. It's on the schedule. We

1186
01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:25.760
<v Speaker 2>don't have to write it all down now, it's there,

1187
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:29.400
<v Speaker 2>just a prontout and you want to treat it in

1188
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:32.599
<v Speaker 2>October and again in November to try to get ahead

1189
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:36.639
<v Speaker 2>of this. Anything you do to prevent stress gives that

1190
01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>grass the best chance of surviving.

1191
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:46.400
<v Speaker 11>Okay, I've been busy writing it down. It sounds like.

1192
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1193
01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:52.960
<v Speaker 11>Now I listen to you every moment that I can

1194
01:05:53.079 --> 01:05:55.360
<v Speaker 11>when you're on the air, so I don't catch you

1195
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:58.679
<v Speaker 11>today exactly, so I'll listen again and thank you so

1196
01:05:58.760 --> 01:05:59.559
<v Speaker 11>much for your health.

1197
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well you bet, you bet, and take some take

1198
01:06:02.840 --> 01:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>some pictures of this process. I'd like to see how

1199
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:07.159
<v Speaker 2>it goes for you. So if you don't mind that,

1200
01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:11.119
<v Speaker 2>maybe in the future, this is gonna this is gonna

1201
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:14.920
<v Speaker 2>take a while, and you may even see before I

1202
01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>got the patients.

1203
01:06:16.119 --> 01:06:19.440
<v Speaker 12>But if I yeah, no, I'll handle that.

1204
01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:23.920
<v Speaker 11>Because I trust you. Gardening is a wonderful process, but

1205
01:06:23.960 --> 01:06:24.519
<v Speaker 11>it's slow.

1206
01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:28.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.

1207
01:06:29.559 --> 01:06:30.239
<v Speaker 12>Thank you.

1208
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Marie, appreciate that. Thanks very much. Nelson Water Garden

1209
01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and uh Nursery out there in Katie four Ben area.

1210
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh not Katie for Ben and Katie. I don't know.

1211
01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes those two go together out of my mouth. Nelson's

1212
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:48.880
<v Speaker 2>is a destination garden center. It really is.

1213
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:49.320
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

1214
01:06:49.639 --> 01:06:52.079
<v Speaker 2>When you go out there, you're going to see, of course,

1215
01:06:52.159 --> 01:06:55.280
<v Speaker 2>water gardens and all the things. Some things they invented,

1216
01:06:55.360 --> 01:06:58.239
<v Speaker 2>like the disappearing fountain out there. If you want a

1217
01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:00.119
<v Speaker 2>water garden, they can come put one in for you.

1218
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Are they can tell you how to do it yourself.

1219
01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Even those some of the little disappearing fountains are just

1220
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>grabbing go. Makes it real easy to have the sound

1221
01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:11.199
<v Speaker 2>of water, which is so important out there in the

1222
01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:15.599
<v Speaker 2>garden center. They are open today from eleven to four

1223
01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:18.559
<v Speaker 2>with twenty five percent off of a number of things

1224
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:21.400
<v Speaker 2>including roses and fruit and citrus trees and some of

1225
01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:25.320
<v Speaker 2>the decorations you like the cast stone animals and fountains

1226
01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:28.440
<v Speaker 2>and stepping stones and those self contained glazed fountains that

1227
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about. Twenty five percent I was a really

1228
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>good deal. All you gotta do is head out to

1229
01:07:32.800 --> 01:07:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Katie Go north on Katie Fort Ben Road and it's

1230
01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:37.159
<v Speaker 2>just up the street a little bit on the right

1231
01:07:37.199 --> 01:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>hand side. You can't miss it. When you're there, you're

<v Speaker 2>the water garden selection and everything from fish and plants

1234
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:49.320

1235
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:52.079
<v Speaker 2>you and tell the folks at Nelson that you would

1236

<v Speaker 2>They'll show you the'll give you kids a little handful

1239
01:07:58.599 --> 01:08:00.760
<v Speaker 2>of food and they can go feed the cooy and

1241
01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:07.960
<v Speaker 2>really well, I really enjoy it. But then I'm still

1242
01:08:07.960 --> 01:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out what i want to be when

1243
01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:12.639
<v Speaker 2>I grow up. So anyway, but it is a really

1244
01:08:13.079 --> 01:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>really cool deal and it's a fun time to go out.

1245
01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Quality Home Products is who you hear me talk about

1246
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:24.039
<v Speaker 2>all the time. For generators. You know about the storms

1247
01:08:24.079 --> 01:08:26.359
<v Speaker 2>we have and what it does to power when a

1248
01:08:26.439 --> 01:08:29.960
<v Speaker 2>branch falls on our power lines and then for two

1249
01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>weeks you're waiting to get water on water, waiting to

1250
01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:36.439
<v Speaker 2>get power. The nice thing about a generator that is

1251
01:08:36.479 --> 01:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>a Generac automatic standby generator which they carry at Quality

1252
01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Home is it just comes on. Mean, it's not like

1253
01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:44.079
<v Speaker 2>you have to oh the power is off when you

1254
01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:46.239
<v Speaker 2>walk through the darkness and try to go outside and

1255
01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:47.720
<v Speaker 2>put gas in it and fire it up and get

1256
01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:49.439
<v Speaker 2>it going. Know that it does. It just comes on.

1257
01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:52.640
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't itself for you, and so it's like you

1258
01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:55.960
<v Speaker 2>never lose power. And some people, you know, the big

1259
01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>concern is, I don't want if I'm on a trip,

1260
01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:01.399
<v Speaker 2>my refrigerator and freezer to to go out and then

1261
01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>all the food rots I have come home to that

1262
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:06.359
<v Speaker 2>that is a mess. You do not want to experience that.

1263
01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe though you need twenty four to seven power, you know,

1264
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:13.319
<v Speaker 2>your job is primarily online and you've got to have

1265
01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:15.880
<v Speaker 2>that internet access and you got to have, you know,

1266
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:19.119
<v Speaker 2>the constant power. You don't want your house to get hot, hot,

1267
01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:23.079
<v Speaker 2>hot because the air conditioner can't come on. Talk to

1277
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Good to have you with us. Uh. When it comes

1278
01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:57.359
<v Speaker 2>to success with plants, you hear me think You hear

1279
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:00.520
<v Speaker 2>me say things all the time like Brownston up before

1280
01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:04.239
<v Speaker 2>green stuff, which basically just means, don't PLoP a poor

1281
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:08.239
<v Speaker 2>plant into an unprepared plot. Peter Piper picked a peck

1282
01:10:08.279 --> 01:10:12.600
<v Speaker 2>of pickle peppers. Prepare the soil, give it a foundation,

1283
01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:15.279
<v Speaker 2>let those roots hit the ground running, and you have success.

1284
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:18.520
<v Speaker 2>That's an example of the kinds of things that I say,

1285
01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:21.920
<v Speaker 2>because that is what works. It is easy to get

1286
01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>excited about flowers and vegetables and fruit trees and you

1287
01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:28.159
<v Speaker 2>bring them home and you're dreaming about the production that

1288
01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:31.399
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have. It is sometimes for some people

1289
01:10:31.439 --> 01:10:34.319
<v Speaker 2>hard to get excited about soil. You know, it's a

1290
01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:37.119
<v Speaker 2>big pile of dirt to them, and so like, well,

1291
01:10:37.399 --> 01:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I want flowers, I don't mess with all that. Well,

1292
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:43.359
<v Speaker 2>if you want flowers, you better give them a foundation

1293
01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:45.920
<v Speaker 2>for success. If you want fruit, if you want vegetables,

1294
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:49.800
<v Speaker 2>it's all about the soil. And I say all about

1295
01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:52.199
<v Speaker 2>and you're probably thinking, well, it's about water, and it's

1296
01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:54.760
<v Speaker 2>about fertilizer, and it's about sunlight. Yes, yes, yes, I

1297
01:10:54.800 --> 01:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>get that, but everybody understands that. But the soil is

1298
01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:02.279
<v Speaker 2>the foundation. That's where it all comes from. I mean,

1299
01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to build a house and you're going

1300
01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:06.760
<v Speaker 2>to go out there to a field and start laying

1301
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:09.359
<v Speaker 2>two by fours on the ground and nailing them together,

1302
01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:11.520
<v Speaker 2>that is not going to be a house that lasts

1303
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:13.640
<v Speaker 2>or does very well. Right, You've got to have a

1304
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:18.159
<v Speaker 2>good foundation for success. Soil is the foundation is It

1305
01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>is what you build from. It is not something you

1306
01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>plant and your plants struggling and then we try to

1307
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:27.920
<v Speaker 2>fix it without digging up the plant. It's so much

1308
01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:30.640
<v Speaker 2>easier to get it right before you plant. I've talked

1309
01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:33.199
<v Speaker 2>to several people that are redoing their lawns this summer

1310
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:36.920
<v Speaker 2>and they're taking time, number one, to get rid of

1311
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:40.439
<v Speaker 2>the weeds that are there, because it's way easier to

1312
01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>get rid of weeds before you plant the lawn then

1313
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:45.079
<v Speaker 2>once you got long grass in there, because then sometimes

1314
01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:47.279
<v Speaker 2>you can hurt the grass trying to control the weeds.

1315
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:50.920
<v Speaker 2>They are filling in low areas, you know, getting you

1316
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:54.199
<v Speaker 2>a good lawn fill mix. It could be kind of

1317
01:11:54.239 --> 01:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>a topsoil mix. It could be kind of a sand

1318
01:11:56.439 --> 01:11:59.159
<v Speaker 2>with a little bit of compost sprinkled into it. There's

1319
01:11:59.199 --> 01:12:01.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of blends that, but getting those areas filled

1320
01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:05.680
<v Speaker 2>in and level because the more level it is, number one,

1321
01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the prettier it is. But your lawnmower isn't you know,

1322
01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:11.600
<v Speaker 2>bumping and bouncing and gouging and you know, as it

1323
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:14.159
<v Speaker 2>goes up and down or drops in a hole and whatnot,

1324
01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:17.560
<v Speaker 2>getting all that leveled out is important and then bring

1325
01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:19.479
<v Speaker 2>your side in and do a good job of that.

1326
01:12:19.520 --> 01:12:22.159
<v Speaker 2>We had some great sad producers. We're fortunate we live

1327
01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:25.439
<v Speaker 2>here on the Gulf Coast and so we've got we've got,

1328
01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:29.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, the sod factories right down around us here

1329
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and lots of good varieties, good availability, and some of

1330
01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>the new varieties are really exciting. I'm trying out some

1331
01:12:38.159 --> 01:12:43.079
<v Speaker 2>new things myself. I'm about to put in another yard

1332
01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:46.319
<v Speaker 2>for my daughter and we're going to be trying some

1333
01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:49.880
<v Speaker 2>things out in there and just learning and experimenting with them.

1334
01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>But sod is it's not difficult to grow if you

1335
01:12:53.640 --> 01:12:56.520
<v Speaker 2>give it what it wants. Just like any plant, SOD

1336
01:12:56.760 --> 01:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>wants mainly sunlight. That's the number one thing we see

1337
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:04.439
<v Speaker 2>go wrong. Lack a soil prop is also a factor.

1338
01:13:04.880 --> 01:13:09.319
<v Speaker 2>And heavy clays that are compacted from the piti pattern

1339
01:13:09.359 --> 01:13:12.239
<v Speaker 2>of not so little feet. That is another thing that

1340
01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:16.760
<v Speaker 2>can create problems for and once a grass plant gets stressed,

1341
01:13:17.239 --> 01:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>then it's more likely to get sick. It's like us.

1342
01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:23.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you're healthy, you eat right, you exercise,

1343
01:13:24.079 --> 01:13:26.640
<v Speaker 2>you get the idea that whole nine yards and you

1344
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:29.359
<v Speaker 2>go out, you gather with a bunch of people, maybe

1345
01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>someone's coffin in the room. I don't know. Your body

1346
01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:35.359
<v Speaker 2>has a little bit more resilience to it. I mean

1347
01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:37.520
<v Speaker 2>you won't get sick. It just means it's less likely,

1348
01:13:37.920 --> 01:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>depending on what sick means. But if you don't take

1349
01:13:43.039 --> 01:13:45.920
<v Speaker 2>care of yourself, you're not sleeping, you're not eating right,

1350
01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:50.279
<v Speaker 2>you're not exercising. Your body is not a resilient, strong organism,

1351
01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:54.239
<v Speaker 2>then you're more likely to get sick. Same thing with plants.

1352
01:13:54.279 --> 01:13:57.199
<v Speaker 2>Take all root rot in lawns, for example, that is

1353
01:13:57.319 --> 01:14:02.720
<v Speaker 2>primarily a secondary invader of stressed grass. That's the main thing.

1354
01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:05.479
<v Speaker 2>It's not like takeoll just flew through the neighborhood and

1355
01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:08.840
<v Speaker 2>landed in your yard and now it's tackling your grass.

1356
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:12.479
<v Speaker 2>It's a ubiquitous problem. But when the grass gets stressed,

1357
01:14:12.760 --> 01:14:15.439
<v Speaker 2>suddenly you see take all root rot move in and

1358
01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:20.359
<v Speaker 2>start to attack it. And it's because that disease has

1359
01:14:20.399 --> 01:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity. When that grass gets weakened from shade, from compaction,

1360
01:14:24.920 --> 01:14:28.640
<v Speaker 2>from you know, wear and tear, from a use of

1361
01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>certain chemicals that weaken the grass, I can also open

1362
01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:34.520
<v Speaker 2>the door for take all to have a chance. There's

1363
01:14:34.600 --> 01:14:38.439
<v Speaker 2>a disease of oaks called hypoxylan canker that kills the tree.

1364
01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:41.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean it kills the tree at least major limbs,

1365
01:14:41.479 --> 01:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>if not the whole tree. That disease is everywhere. I

1366
01:14:44.600 --> 01:14:46.640
<v Speaker 2>talked to a plant pathologist one time who told me,

1367
01:14:46.680 --> 01:14:48.800
<v Speaker 2>you go out in the forest and you sample an

1368
01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:52.640
<v Speaker 2>oak tree, and you can find the hypoxylin organism out there.

1369
01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:55.279
<v Speaker 2>It's in nature. It's out there. But when that tree

1370
01:14:55.319 --> 01:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>gets stressed, then hypoxyla moves in and kills a tree.

1371
01:14:59.039 --> 01:15:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Well what caused the death of that tree? Well, you

1372
01:15:01.840 --> 01:15:05.960
<v Speaker 2>could say hypoxylon, or you could say stress that led

1373
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>to it. And once the disease gets in, it's too

1374
01:15:08.760 --> 01:15:11.039
<v Speaker 2>late for the tree. I saw a tree one time

1375
01:15:11.079 --> 01:15:15.680
<v Speaker 2>an oak tree. It was perfectly healthy oak tree, post

1376
01:15:15.680 --> 01:15:18.439
<v Speaker 2>oak in this case. And they put a pin around

1377
01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:20.520
<v Speaker 2>it and filled it full of goats. I guess they

1378
01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:23.079
<v Speaker 2>wanted the goats to have shade. And they stomped and

1379
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:26.079
<v Speaker 2>trumped and put their little feet up on the trunks

1380
01:15:26.079 --> 01:15:29.640
<v Speaker 2>and stuff. And that tree turned a toast and it

1381
01:15:29.680 --> 01:15:33.760
<v Speaker 2>was a poxlin canker and it why did that happen? Well,

1382
01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>stress and the disease got its chance. Now I've been

1383
01:15:37.039 --> 01:15:40.000
<v Speaker 2>spending some time talking about this, but it's an important concept.

1384
01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:43.439
<v Speaker 2>Keeping getting the soil right, keeping our plants healthy, choosing

1385
01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:45.880
<v Speaker 2>things that aren't likely to get sick. Those are all

1386
01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:50.439
<v Speaker 2>secrets to success with that. For your lawns, if you

1387
01:15:50.439 --> 01:15:53.079
<v Speaker 2>haven't done your summer fertilizing, it's time to grab you

1388
01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>some night topass Superturf nineteen four to ten, nineteen four ten.

1389
01:15:58.399 --> 01:16:00.680
<v Speaker 2>It's going to feed your lawn for sixty weeks during

1390
01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the summer. It's easy to find superturf because it's a

1391
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:06.319
<v Speaker 2>silver bag. And so whether you go to a hardware

1392
01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>stores or south Its fertilizer, or you go to a

1393
01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:11.119
<v Speaker 2>garden center, you go to one of our feed stores

1394
01:16:11.159 --> 01:16:13.680
<v Speaker 2>here on Guardline, Superturf's easy to find. You're going to

1395
01:16:13.720 --> 01:16:17.039
<v Speaker 2>find it at places like my Swell Seasons right there

1396
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>on Highway to forty nine. You're going to find it

1397
01:16:18.880 --> 01:16:21.159
<v Speaker 2>at D and D Feed up there in Tumble. Go

1398
01:16:21.239 --> 01:16:24.399
<v Speaker 2>down to Laport Fisher's Hardware on Broadway Street. You'll find

1399
01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:28.239
<v Speaker 2>nitrofass products there as well. As The main thing is

1400
01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:31.560
<v Speaker 2>get it done and then return your clippings and recycle

1401
01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:35.359
<v Speaker 2>those nutrients that you are putting down, and you're going

1402
01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:37.920
<v Speaker 2>to see success probably in fact, if you do the

1403
01:16:37.960 --> 01:16:40.800
<v Speaker 2>clipping return, you may not if you fertilize at this point,

1404
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you may not need to fertilize again before the fall application.

1405
01:16:44.359 --> 01:16:47.239
<v Speaker 2>If you use something like superturf and return your clippings

1406
01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:52.039
<v Speaker 2>at RCW Nurseries the other day, and you know RCW,

1407
01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:56.119
<v Speaker 2>it's just a great nursery. It's been around since nineteen

1408
01:16:56.279 --> 01:16:59.800
<v Speaker 2>seventy nine. That is a long time. Was that forty

1409
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>six years? If I did the math right, that's a

1410
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:07.399
<v Speaker 2>long time. The Williamson family opened it. They still run it,

1411
01:17:07.439 --> 01:17:10.119
<v Speaker 2>and they also have Williamson Tree Farm, that family up

1412
01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:13.279
<v Speaker 2>there in Plantersville and they sell those trees, among other

1413
01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:16.760
<v Speaker 2>places at RCW nurseries. So you get quality trees that

1414
01:17:16.840 --> 01:17:18.720
<v Speaker 2>need to grow here, that want to grow here, that

1415
01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:21.119
<v Speaker 2>are the type you want a plant. They'll plant them

1416
01:17:21.119 --> 01:17:24.279
<v Speaker 2>for you. You can get a smaller one planet yourself. The

1417
01:17:24.359 --> 01:17:27.960
<v Speaker 2>selection is outstanding on trees and on shrubs, and then

1418
01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you can just keep going. You know, they are well

1419
01:17:29.960 --> 01:17:34.079
<v Speaker 2>known by rosarians for their roses. Every time I pull

1420
01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:36.760
<v Speaker 2>up and the summertime, first thing I see is Boogain

1421
01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>v is just look fantastic. They are awesome. They have

1422

01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:13.960
<v Speaker 2>right here. I can't go into too much at this point.

1431
01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:16.079

<v Speaker 2>two kt rh. That makes it easy to get in

1436
01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>and we'll visit with you about the things you're interested in.

1437
01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:39.239
<v Speaker 2>If your question might involve a diagnosis, or I might

1438
01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:41.880
<v Speaker 2>need a photo, like, well, there's a bug on my

1439
01:18:41.960 --> 01:18:43.760
<v Speaker 2>plant and I don't know how to describe it. Well,

1440
01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:45.520
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of bugs on plants. Send me a

1441
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:49.039
<v Speaker 2>picture first. Uh my grass is dying. What does it

1442
01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>look like, Well, it looks like dying grass. Okay, send

1443
01:18:51.760 --> 01:18:55.319
<v Speaker 2>me a picture first. It helped me in order to

1444
01:18:55.399 --> 01:18:58.600
<v Speaker 2>help you. You give me a picture and I can

1445
01:18:58.640 --> 01:19:00.640
<v Speaker 2>do it now. It's got to be into good our focus,

1446
01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:03.880
<v Speaker 2>and especially with things we're trying to identify that are smaller,

1447
01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Get up as close as you can and take the

1448
01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:08.439
<v Speaker 2>picture from as close as you can. It's not the

1449
01:19:08.439 --> 01:19:11.560
<v Speaker 2>only picture, but one of them really close up so

1450
01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I can see it and identify it. Make sure it's

1451
01:19:14.000 --> 01:19:16.840
<v Speaker 2>in sharp focus. If you send me a fuzzy picture,

1452
01:19:17.359 --> 01:19:19.199
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get a fuzzy answer. And you don't

1453
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:21.279
<v Speaker 2>want fuzzy answers. We want to get it accurate, we

1454
01:19:21.399 --> 01:19:23.079
<v Speaker 2>get it right. I want to waste your time and

1455
01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:26.680
<v Speaker 2>money on products and treating and doing whatever you're going

1456
01:19:26.760 --> 01:19:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to do. If we're not on the right track, so

1457
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:33.399
<v Speaker 2>help me help you with a good sharp focused photo.

1458
01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:36.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, just call out one Hundro, my producer. He

1459
01:19:36.119 --> 01:19:37.760
<v Speaker 2>can get you an email if you want to send

1460
01:19:37.760 --> 01:19:40.399
<v Speaker 2>a photo, and I do ask if you send emails,

1461
01:19:40.520 --> 01:19:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you need to follow up with a phone call. And

1462
01:19:43.039 --> 01:19:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not able to type out just too many emails

1463
01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:49.800
<v Speaker 2>to type out the answers and things to everything, and

1464
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:52.399
<v Speaker 2>some things are more involved. It would take a long

1465
01:19:52.439 --> 01:19:55.479
<v Speaker 2>time to write it out. So follow up with a call,

1466
01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:58.600

1478
01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:45.960
<v Speaker 2>specialists when it comes to core aeration and compost top dressing.

1479
01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:48.079
<v Speaker 2>We're actually standing in a yard where we're I was

1480
01:20:48.279 --> 01:20:50.800
<v Speaker 2>doing some filming and stuff. As they did the aerration

1481
01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:54.199
<v Speaker 2>and the cost compost top dressing and whatnot. I talked

1482

<v Speaker 2>to the person who actually owned the place, uh two

1483
01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:01.760
<v Speaker 2>or three weeks to maybe three weeks later, and they

1484
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:03.560
<v Speaker 2>were just talking about how the yard was coming in

1485
01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>so nice. It was filling in. They had had some

1486
01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of die back in some areas there's gaps and

1487
01:21:08.760 --> 01:21:11.119
<v Speaker 2>you know where sunlight hits the soil, nature plants of weed,

1488
01:21:11.800 --> 01:21:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and so you got to get that lone dense and

1489
01:21:13.680 --> 01:21:18.359
<v Speaker 2>compost top dressing following corperation is a very important way

1490

<v Speaker 2>to do that. They come out, they take care of

<v Speaker 12>Good morning, scip. I want to fact, I want to

1503

<v Speaker 12>thank you for coming to the Sugar Creek Goar Club

<v Speaker 12>last month. Everybody enjoyed you so much. I want to

1505
01:22:03.359 --> 01:22:03.960
<v Speaker 12>book you again.

1506
01:22:05.960 --> 01:22:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was a that was a good group. I

1507
01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:10.560
<v Speaker 2>mean you guys got quite a group there.

1508
01:22:12.199 --> 01:22:17.239
<v Speaker 12>Yes, they were around seventy seventy five people there. I think.

1509
01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I felt I felt out numbered.

1510
01:22:23.479 --> 01:22:27.399
<v Speaker 12>Yes, I do have some.

1511
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Your next talk, Well, how can I help this morning?

1512
01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:39.920
<v Speaker 12>Yes, I am having any problem with worms on my tomatoes.

1513
01:22:41.239 --> 01:22:45.039
<v Speaker 12>My neighbor John has just been a John and Carol

1514
01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:48.039
<v Speaker 12>had been wonderful neighbors to me, and they have mixed

1515
01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:52.319
<v Speaker 12>up some inseexicidal soap that I have sprayed on numerous times.

1516
01:22:53.640 --> 01:22:59.520
<v Speaker 12>And I appreciate that seat. But there is there something

1517
01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:00.640
<v Speaker 12>else I shoul should be doing.

1518
01:23:02.680 --> 01:23:05.720
<v Speaker 2>So when you see leaves being eaten, when you see fruit,

1519
01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:08.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, with a little caterpillar hole in it or something.

1520
01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:13.279
<v Speaker 2>The product called b t that's it's actually the ingredient

1521
01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:16.920
<v Speaker 2>name b as in boy teas and tom It's sold

1522
01:23:16.920 --> 01:23:19.760
<v Speaker 2>in many brands, but it is an organic control of

1523
01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:22.279
<v Speaker 2>caterpillars only, and so it's a really good one to use.

1524
01:23:22.319 --> 01:23:23.960
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to hurt any of the good guys

1525
01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:26.920
<v Speaker 2>in the garden. But it only lasts a couple of days,

1526
01:23:27.159 --> 01:23:30.600
<v Speaker 2>so you need if you spray it. Let's see spray today,

1527
01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:33.880
<v Speaker 2>you would probably again on Wednesday or Thursday, want to

1528
01:23:33.920 --> 01:23:36.920
<v Speaker 2>spray again. And maybe you do that two or three

1529
01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:39.359
<v Speaker 2>times over a couple of weeks. And you ought to

1530
01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>be able to break that cycle and enjoy your fruit

1531
01:23:42.680 --> 01:23:44.520
<v Speaker 2>rather than the caterpillars enjoying your fruit.

1532
01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:48.560
<v Speaker 12>Great, because they had been really getting into my tonatoes too,

1533
01:23:48.760 --> 01:23:55.880
<v Speaker 12>and you know, shame. Also, what do I do soil

1534
01:23:56.159 --> 01:23:59.760
<v Speaker 12>when it's time to pull the tomato plants up?

1535
01:24:01.840 --> 01:24:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Usually when I when I'm transitioning from one crop, if

1536
01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:07.880
<v Speaker 2>we can use that ag word for a garden, when

1537
01:24:07.960 --> 01:24:11.560
<v Speaker 2>one crop to another, I will put about an inch

1538
01:24:11.640 --> 01:24:14.479
<v Speaker 2>of composts down and mix it into the soil and

1539
01:24:14.560 --> 01:24:18.039
<v Speaker 2>then go on with the next crop. Just so you're

1540
01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:21.279
<v Speaker 2>transitioning to maybe three times during the year in an

1541
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:25.119
<v Speaker 2>area whether it's flowers or gard or vegetables. H and

1542
01:24:25.239 --> 01:24:27.800
<v Speaker 2>just just about an inch of composts mixed in and

1543
01:24:27.920 --> 01:24:28.800
<v Speaker 2>about all you need to do.

1544
01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:33.680
<v Speaker 12>Okay, good enough, Thank you so much.

1551
01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:57.000

1552
01:24:57.319 --> 01:25:00.000
<v Speaker 2>This this is a unique place. Okay. We're talking about

1553

<v Speaker 2>eight acres cram full of gorgeous plants, eight acres to

1554
01:25:04.399 --> 01:25:07.439
<v Speaker 2>wander through, and wander is the right word for it.

1555
01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:12.439
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna go around corners and see statuaries and fountains

1556
01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:16.399
<v Speaker 2>and pottery and oh gosh, just stuff you would never

1557
01:25:16.439 --> 01:25:19.319
<v Speaker 2>expect to see, like a carved wooden canoe hanging from

1558
01:25:19.359 --> 01:25:22.560
<v Speaker 2>the ceiling of one of the pottery sheds. It's just

1559
01:25:22.720 --> 01:25:25.239
<v Speaker 2>it's a cool place. It's fun. And Jim is very

1560
01:25:25.239 --> 01:25:27.960
<v Speaker 2>eclectic and he has all kinds of unusual things, so

<v Speaker 2>you're gonna find like ask him to show you his

1562
01:25:30.560 --> 01:25:34.159

1563
01:25:34.840 --> 01:25:38.119
<v Speaker 2>He designed it, and it's just it's just off the wall.

1564
01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:40.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just different, you know, not the same old same.

<v Speaker 2>Oh they're flowering things everywhere there at Moss Nursery. Hanging baskets. Gosh,

1567
01:25:51.760 --> 01:25:54.600
<v Speaker 2>The house plant greenhouse alone is worth the drive down.

1568
01:25:55.079 --> 01:26:00.840
<v Speaker 2>It is full of tropicals and of succulence. You know,

1569

1572
01:26:09.239 --> 01:26:14.560
<v Speaker 2>tropical that for example, stackhorn ferns, beautiful staghorn fringing. Buy

1573
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:16.600
<v Speaker 2>a small one already mounted to a board. They have

1574
01:26:16.680 --> 01:26:20.079
<v Speaker 2>some huge ones as well. It takes a long time

1575
01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:22.520
<v Speaker 2>to get them to that stage. But it's just the

1576
01:26:22.560 --> 01:26:25.159
<v Speaker 2>place to go and see all kinds of things that

01:27:05.199 --> 01:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>other day about where can I get and it was

1589
01:27:07.720 --> 01:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>some product that you know, they'd look for and looked

1590
01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:13.039
<v Speaker 2>for and they couldn't find it. It's like, okay, well,

1591
01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:14.880
<v Speaker 2>if you listen to the guardline, you should know the

1592
01:27:14.880 --> 01:27:17.439
<v Speaker 2>answer to that. The answer Southwest Fertilizer. I don't care

1593
01:27:17.479 --> 01:27:20.239
<v Speaker 2>what the question is. The answer Southwest fertilizer. If they

1594
01:27:20.239 --> 01:27:23.399
<v Speaker 2>don't have it, you don't need it. Really, ninety foot

1595
01:27:23.399 --> 01:27:25.560
<v Speaker 2>walle of tools, do you think you can find the

1596
01:27:25.600 --> 01:27:27.720
<v Speaker 2>tools you need? Their quality tools too? By the way,

1597
01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>on ninety foot wall of tools, if you go on

1598
01:27:29.960 --> 01:27:32.760
<v Speaker 2>my website and see Skip's weed wiper. This a little

1599
01:27:32.840 --> 01:27:36.479
<v Speaker 2>thing I invented. It's easy to build. Bob's got the

1600
01:27:36.520 --> 01:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>grabber tool. That has the section cups that you need

1601
01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:40.680
<v Speaker 2>to build the weed wiper, he's got it there. You

1602
01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:42.840
<v Speaker 2>grab one off the wall, he's got him there. You

1603
01:27:42.880 --> 01:27:45.680
<v Speaker 2>hear me brag about the kneeling bench, he's got him there.

1604
01:27:46.439 --> 01:27:50.439
<v Speaker 2>It's just everything that you would need product wise, from

1605
01:27:50.560 --> 01:27:55.680
<v Speaker 2>fertilizers to insect control, disease control, weed control, we'd prevention.

1606
01:27:56.560 --> 01:28:00.199
<v Speaker 2>If you need help identifying something, let them get your

1607
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:02.439
<v Speaker 2>eyes on it. As we say, they know what they're

1608
01:28:02.479 --> 01:28:05.119
<v Speaker 2>looking at, they know what the products are and what

1609
01:28:05.319 --> 01:28:07.279
<v Speaker 2>is needed for various things. They'll point you in the

1610
01:28:07.319 --> 01:28:11.479
<v Speaker 2>right direction. You need some little bit of lawn equipment,

1654
01:30:23.800 --> 01:30:26.039
<v Speaker 2>But the main thing is just do it and you're

1655
01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:29.319
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be disappointed with an airloom solce product. Every

1656
01:30:29.319 --> 01:30:33.279
<v Speaker 2>time I try one and grow something in it, it's like, yeah,

1657
01:30:33.399 --> 01:30:36.159
<v Speaker 2>that stuff or that's what we're talking about when I

1658
01:30:36.199 --> 01:30:40.279
<v Speaker 2>say building a foundation, brown stuff before green stuff. Airlom

1659
01:30:40.359 --> 01:30:45.880
<v Speaker 2>soils perfect for just that. I was redoing a bed

1660
01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:49.560
<v Speaker 2>this past not this past week, couple of weeks ago,

1661
01:30:50.119 --> 01:30:53.159
<v Speaker 2>doing some revamping of it and whatnot, because you know,

1662
01:30:53.319 --> 01:30:56.720
<v Speaker 2>you have to continue to maintain soil over time. It

1663
01:30:56.720 --> 01:30:58.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't mean every day you're doing something. It just means

1664
01:30:59.119 --> 01:31:01.159
<v Speaker 2>you need to build up a bit. Whether it's a

1665
01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:05.359
<v Speaker 2>potting soil in a pot, they tend to decompose down

1666
01:31:05.520 --> 01:31:07.560
<v Speaker 2>and it helps just spruce them up and get some

1667
01:31:07.600 --> 01:31:10.640
<v Speaker 2>fresh material in there, top it off and make sure

1668
01:31:10.720 --> 01:31:13.800
<v Speaker 2>that the plants continue to have good drainage and everything

1669
01:31:13.840 --> 01:31:16.479
<v Speaker 2>they need. And I was trying out some different products

1670
01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:18.800
<v Speaker 2>on it. I'm always experimenting with something or the other,

1671
01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and I discovered that I was in a container actually

1672
01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:27.680
<v Speaker 2>in the specific case I'm telling you right now where

1673
01:31:27.880 --> 01:31:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the container had been there for years and I had

1674
01:31:30.760 --> 01:31:33.479
<v Speaker 2>topped it off with some stuff several times. But I

1675
01:31:33.560 --> 01:31:35.359
<v Speaker 2>dumped it out because I was going to use the

1676
01:31:35.399 --> 01:31:39.119
<v Speaker 2>container for something else. And I noticed at the bottom

1677
01:31:39.520 --> 01:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the soil had really decomposed a long way. I wasn't

1678
01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:46.720
<v Speaker 2>a humus yet, but it was getting there, and it

1679
01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:49.520
<v Speaker 2>was very tight. Very if it was watered a lot,

1680
01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:51.720
<v Speaker 2>it'd be a little on the mucky side, you know,

1681
01:31:52.239 --> 01:31:54.920
<v Speaker 2>not really draining as well as it could and it

1682
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:57.960
<v Speaker 2>just reminded me. Sometimes people say, can you reuse potting soil?

1683
01:31:58.079 --> 01:32:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Well off, you can. If the plant died of a

1684
01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:05.720
<v Speaker 2>root disease or a fungal disease, root rot something like that,

1685
01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Or if you got nematodes in it, because maybe they

1686
01:32:08.439 --> 01:32:10.800
<v Speaker 2>came in with some soil or on a plant or something,

1687
01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:14.079
<v Speaker 2>then I wouldn't reuse it, don't even think about reusing it.

1688
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:16.960
<v Speaker 2>But if it's just one like my case, where to

1689
01:32:17.239 --> 01:32:19.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, it kind of decomposed a little further, I

1690
01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:21.920
<v Speaker 2>could just get something a little on the chunky side.

1691
01:32:22.119 --> 01:32:23.880
<v Speaker 2>I put it in there, mix it in real good,

1692
01:32:23.920 --> 01:32:26.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, a decomposed bark, a little bit of rosemex

1693
01:32:26.319 --> 01:32:30.880
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that, and just rejuvenate it and keep going.

1694
01:32:31.119 --> 01:32:37.960
<v Speaker 2>And think about this. I hear people say sometimes potting soil,

1695
01:32:38.119 --> 01:32:40.680
<v Speaker 2>don't don't use old potting soil, you know, like it's

1696
01:32:40.720 --> 01:32:44.560
<v Speaker 2>out there, it's gone bad or something. Well, what does

1697
01:32:44.680 --> 01:32:45.159
<v Speaker 2>nature do?

1698
01:32:46.279 --> 01:32:46.479
<v Speaker 8>You know?

1699
01:32:46.560 --> 01:32:48.560
<v Speaker 2>How is nature designed to work? Do somebody go in

1700
01:32:48.560 --> 01:32:51.279
<v Speaker 2>the forest and clean out all the old decomposed stuff

1701
01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:52.760
<v Speaker 2>because it's been there for years?

1702
01:32:53.039 --> 01:32:53.239
<v Speaker 8>Right?

1703
01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:57.600
<v Speaker 2>No, it just so it just gets better and they

1704
01:32:57.680 --> 01:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>drop new leaves on the top and nature gardens from

1705
01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:03.640
<v Speaker 2>the top down, whether it's grass clippings on a lawn,

1706
01:33:04.159 --> 01:33:06.760
<v Speaker 2>whether it's grass leaves out in a meadow, whether it's

1707
01:33:06.800 --> 01:33:10.439
<v Speaker 2>tree leaves in a forest. Organic matter falls on the

1708
01:33:10.439 --> 01:33:13.640
<v Speaker 2>ground in some cases, like roots, they literally rot underground

1709
01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>when they die. But it builds the soy out, it

1710
01:33:15.960 --> 01:33:18.920
<v Speaker 2>opens up channels, and it just gets richer and richer

1711
01:33:18.920 --> 01:33:23.199
<v Speaker 2>and richer. And so use those principles in your landscape,

1712
01:33:23.920 --> 01:33:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I would say, and I'm not meddling here. You do

1713
01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:29.319
<v Speaker 2>what you want at your yard, but I would never

1714
01:33:29.439 --> 01:33:32.800
<v Speaker 2>let a grass clipping or a leaf leave my landscape.

1715
01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Those are valuable. They are very valuable. And you can

1716
01:33:36.520 --> 01:33:38.359
<v Speaker 2>run over our leaves with a lawn mower. If you've

1717
01:33:38.319 --> 01:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>got a little grinder, you can use that, but chop

1718
01:33:41.920 --> 01:33:43.960
<v Speaker 2>them up so they stay in place, and use them

1719
01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:47.479
<v Speaker 2>as mulch everywhere you can. In my garden pathways, one

1720
01:33:48.199 --> 01:33:51.000
<v Speaker 2>leaves every year. I don't know how many bags of

1721
01:33:51.039 --> 01:33:53.079
<v Speaker 2>leaves I bring home. My neighbors are so nice they

1722
01:33:53.079 --> 01:33:54.640
<v Speaker 2>back and for me and put them out at the curb,

1723
01:33:55.600 --> 01:33:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and I just bring them home and I use them

1724
01:33:58.119 --> 01:33:59.960
<v Speaker 2>as an all weather pathway. And I can tell you

1725
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:02.279
<v Speaker 2>this after about a couple of years of that, and

1726
01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:06.840
<v Speaker 2>actually just one years enough you can scrape those dead

1727
01:34:06.920 --> 01:34:09.800
<v Speaker 2>leaves off the surface and there's some good stuff underneath

1728
01:34:09.840 --> 01:34:14.000
<v Speaker 2>there in that pathway. So put nature to work for you.

1729
01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Put your grass clippings back in your lawn. If if

1730
01:34:16.840 --> 01:34:20.199
<v Speaker 2>it rains and rains and you can't mow and the

1731
01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:23.039
<v Speaker 2>grass is knee high, all right, bag it. But use

1732
01:34:23.119 --> 01:34:25.520
<v Speaker 2>those clippings. They can be laid out on a bed

1733
01:34:25.560 --> 01:34:28.840
<v Speaker 2>as a surface mulch. I don't put them thicker than

1734
01:34:28.880 --> 01:34:31.560
<v Speaker 2>about an inch, because you don't want them to just

1735
01:34:31.600 --> 01:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>get all gooey and messy like they would in a bag.

1736
01:34:34.560 --> 01:34:36.399
<v Speaker 2>But spread them out and use them. Mix them into

1737
01:34:36.439 --> 01:34:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the soil your rotor tillings. No reason you couldn't use

1738
01:34:38.960 --> 01:34:41.680
<v Speaker 2>grass clippings. Mix them right in the soil and make

1739
01:34:41.720 --> 01:34:46.079
<v Speaker 2>your lawn better. That's all I'm saying. Then, look, organic

1740
01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:50.520
<v Speaker 2>matter decomposes, just add more. That's how that works. I

1741
01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:52.439
<v Speaker 2>hope that's helpful for you. Hey, if you'd like to

1742

<v Speaker 2>is a milkweed, necanation, a lot more maybe herbs. Moms

1757
01:35:43.760 --> 01:35:46.199
<v Speaker 2>into herbs. How about an herb plant or just some

1758
01:35:46.279 --> 01:35:49.319
<v Speaker 2>herbs to scatter around in the landscape or in the garden.

1759
01:35:50.119 --> 01:35:52.680
<v Speaker 2>They have gift cards from intended forests that are a

1760
01:35:52.720 --> 01:35:55.600
<v Speaker 2>nice gift for really anybody that's a gardener in your list.

1761
01:35:56.319 --> 01:35:58.159
<v Speaker 2>And you got to see the fairy gardens. Take your

1762
01:35:58.199 --> 01:36:00.479
<v Speaker 2>kids out to see that. They're fairy garden items are

1763
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:03.479
<v Speaker 2>fun for kids and adults. They've got one, you have

1764
01:36:03.520 --> 01:36:05.039
<v Speaker 2>to go see it. It's kind of the left of

1765
01:36:05.039 --> 01:36:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the building. There there's a big tree and it's like

1766
01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:10.279
<v Speaker 2>ferry gardens all around it. On the ground they're really

1767
01:36:10.319 --> 01:36:14.800
<v Speaker 2>cool little miniature gardens. So anyway, you need to get

1768
01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:17.560
<v Speaker 2>out there. Though last time I was out there again,

1769
01:36:17.720 --> 01:36:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm always surprised at just how extensive their herb selection is.

1770
01:36:22.319 --> 01:36:27.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm always surprised at the selection of butterfly attracting plants,

1771
01:36:27.520 --> 01:36:31.439
<v Speaker 2>both the flower plants that the butterflies go the flowers for,

1772
01:36:31.600 --> 01:36:35.319
<v Speaker 2>but also the larval food sources. So if you want butterflies,

1773
01:36:35.800 --> 01:36:39.359
<v Speaker 2>you need to feed the babies. Okay, So milkweed feeds monarchs,

1774
01:36:39.880 --> 01:36:43.760
<v Speaker 2>passion vine feeds the gulf fritillary. A number of different

1775
01:36:43.840 --> 01:36:48.159
<v Speaker 2>things feed various types of butterflies, So don't just plant

1776
01:36:48.359 --> 01:36:51.680
<v Speaker 2>for the adults to have nectar plant to raise their

1777
01:36:51.720 --> 01:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>young as well. And Enchanted forest specializes in not for sure,

1778
01:36:56.479 --> 01:37:01.720
<v Speaker 2>great selection of trees and shrubs too, And it's fun.

1779
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:04.920
<v Speaker 2>It's a fun place to visit. I love the big trees. Gosh,

1780
01:37:05.199 --> 01:37:07.159
<v Speaker 2>you know when it gets hot and you know it's

1781
01:37:07.199 --> 01:37:12.640
<v Speaker 2>like it's hot, go there and enjoy shopping underneath those big,

1782
01:37:12.720 --> 01:37:18.000
<v Speaker 2>beautiful spreading trees. It's cool, literally cool compared it's been

1783
01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:23.079
<v Speaker 2>out in the sun. So on garden line, I generally

1784
01:37:23.119 --> 01:37:27.159
<v Speaker 2>give advice. I try to stay kind of general in ways,

1785
01:37:27.319 --> 01:37:31.279
<v Speaker 2>like here's some principles that plants want, but sometimes we

1786
01:37:31.359 --> 01:37:35.520
<v Speaker 2>have to get down to specifics on specific things that

1787
01:37:35.600 --> 01:37:38.359
<v Speaker 2>you need to provide for plants. And as you give

1788
01:37:38.479 --> 01:37:42.239
<v Speaker 2>calls to garden, as you call in, I'll be guiding you,

1789
01:37:42.239 --> 01:37:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, specifically in the situation that you have. Someone

1790
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:48.439
<v Speaker 2>called earlier today and asked about AI as a way

1791
01:37:48.479 --> 01:37:51.920
<v Speaker 2>to is it dependable? Can you use it? And the

1792
01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:54.680
<v Speaker 2>problem with answering is it dependable, It's just there's there's

1793
01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:57.439
<v Speaker 2>so many kinds of AI and so many levels. A

1794
01:37:57.479 --> 01:38:01.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of times as AI is learning, it's not very

1795
01:38:01.119 --> 01:38:04.840
<v Speaker 2>good and misses a lot of things. But as it

1796
01:38:04.840 --> 01:38:09.560
<v Speaker 2>gets better and with some applications, it's amazingly good. But

1797
01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't depend on it too much. And that's kind

1798
01:38:13.960 --> 01:38:16.640
<v Speaker 2>of what I was saying earlier. There's a lot of

1799
01:38:16.680 --> 01:38:19.039
<v Speaker 2>gardening advice out there. Sometimes I feel like, as a

1800
01:38:19.039 --> 01:38:24.720
<v Speaker 2>horticulturist that I kind of understand how a doctor might feel,

1801
01:38:24.960 --> 01:38:29.000
<v Speaker 2>because everywhere a doctor goes number one. Everybody when they

1802
01:38:29.000 --> 01:38:31.439
<v Speaker 2>find out he's a doctor or she's a doctor, they

1803
01:38:31.479 --> 01:38:33.640
<v Speaker 2>start pointing at something on their body, going, so I

1804
01:38:33.680 --> 01:38:36.039
<v Speaker 2>got this sore right here that you know, and so

1805
01:38:36.159 --> 01:38:39.880
<v Speaker 2>suddenly they get to give free advice where they go.

1806
01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Number two, people have a lot of medical opinions. You know,

1807
01:38:44.760 --> 01:38:47.279
<v Speaker 2>they may feel like this kind of an oil or

1808
01:38:47.359 --> 01:38:50.359
<v Speaker 2>this kind of a I don't know, a supplement, or

1809
01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:52.159
<v Speaker 2>is what they need. And the doctor's got to be

1810
01:38:52.159 --> 01:38:55.079
<v Speaker 2>sitting there going, Okay, I hear what you're saying, but

1811
01:38:55.880 --> 01:38:58.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's there's always a yeah butt and that's

1812
01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:01.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of what the doctors think. And well, I feel

1813
01:39:01.319 --> 01:39:04.359
<v Speaker 2>that because people always give me advice on plants, and

1814
01:39:04.399 --> 01:39:06.479
<v Speaker 2>I said, listen, I'm not going to sit there and

1815
01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:08.840
<v Speaker 2>be the integrate and say no, you don't know what

1816
01:39:08.840 --> 01:39:11.640
<v Speaker 2>trum about. I know what I'm talking about. But I

1817
01:39:11.720 --> 01:39:14.520
<v Speaker 2>hear a lot of advice and I see it online

1818
01:39:14.720 --> 01:39:18.319
<v Speaker 2>and I just want to My public service announcement today

1819
01:39:18.640 --> 01:39:23.000
<v Speaker 2>is gardening friends. Don't let gardening friends get their advice

1820
01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:26.600
<v Speaker 2>just off of social media. Now, if it's a good,

1821
01:39:26.720 --> 01:39:31.680
<v Speaker 2>dependable source on social media, yes, but oh my gosh,

1822
01:39:31.840 --> 01:39:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I have quit going to Pinterest because it's like it

1823
01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:40.520
<v Speaker 2>makes my eyes bleed to look at what people put

1824
01:39:40.560 --> 01:39:43.479
<v Speaker 2>on there. In fact, I could do a whole talk

1825
01:39:43.560 --> 01:39:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and somebody, I'm gonna do this somewhere, I don't know where.

1826
01:39:46.239 --> 01:39:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do a whole talk just on what's

1827
01:39:48.800 --> 01:39:51.920
<v Speaker 2>wrong with this picture? And I'll take I'll take pictures

1828
01:39:51.960 --> 01:39:56.000
<v Speaker 2>of social media things and put them out there and

1829
01:39:56.119 --> 01:39:58.319
<v Speaker 2>say what's wrong with this? What you know, and just

1830
01:39:58.439 --> 01:40:01.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of teach people what the foreign things. I saw

1831
01:40:01.680 --> 01:40:04.239
<v Speaker 2>the other day a rose it was I called Bengal

1832
01:40:04.359 --> 01:40:09.119
<v Speaker 2>tigers stripe or something, and it had stripes that were

1833
01:40:09.760 --> 01:40:13.680
<v Speaker 2>it just it's not true. There's no such plan as that.

1834
01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:17.439
<v Speaker 2>And there's a couple of accounts out there that are

1835
01:40:17.479 --> 01:40:21.560
<v Speaker 2>doing this all the time, and they drive me nuts,

1836
01:40:22.000 --> 01:40:25.640
<v Speaker 2>like pouring a ton of rose seeds into a crack

1837
01:40:25.680 --> 01:40:28.039
<v Speaker 2>in the sidewalk and then showing a picture of a

1838
01:40:28.079 --> 01:40:31.279
<v Speaker 2>wall full of roses that are in full bloom, and

1839
01:40:31.319 --> 01:40:33.920
<v Speaker 2>it's basically one rose that has been copied and pasted

1840
01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:36.880
<v Speaker 2>all over the wall. It's like no, no, no, no no.

1841
01:40:37.239 --> 01:40:40.760
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, there I griped. I have more griping to

1842
01:40:40.800 --> 01:40:42.960
<v Speaker 2>do about that, but I'll let you go from now,

1843
01:40:43.319 --> 01:40:46.199
<v Speaker 2>take a little break, and we'll be back. It looks

1844
01:40:46.199 --> 01:40:49.520
<v Speaker 2>like with Diana and Cyprus, all right, now you're thinking

1845
01:40:49.560 --> 01:40:53.000
<v Speaker 2>that's not Simon Garfunkel, right.

1846
01:40:54.399 --> 01:40:54.560
<v Speaker 4>Now.

1847
01:40:55.560 --> 01:40:58.479
<v Speaker 2>I play that occasionally as a way to remember Randy.

1848
01:40:58.520 --> 01:41:02.319
<v Speaker 2>The bed is called the Lemonheads. That's right, there's a

1849
01:41:02.319 --> 01:41:07.359
<v Speaker 2>band called the Lemonheads. All right. Randy was a good

1850
01:41:07.359 --> 01:41:10.199
<v Speaker 2>friend I beloved here. I know many of you listened

1851
01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to him for twenty five plus years here on guard Line,

1852
01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:16.199
<v Speaker 2>and we miss him. But every now and then we're

1853
01:41:16.279 --> 01:41:23.000
<v Speaker 2>just gonna remember back those days. Good good friend. All right, folks. Well,

1854
01:41:23.880 --> 01:41:25.479
<v Speaker 2>the other day I was out in my yard and

1855
01:41:25.520 --> 01:41:28.199
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at a patch of a regano in

1856
01:41:28.359 --> 01:41:30.279
<v Speaker 2>a raised bed, and I was looking at it. These

1857
01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:32.199
<v Speaker 2>little bugs are coming crawling out of the air. It

1858
01:41:32.279 --> 01:41:34.960
<v Speaker 2>looked like ants, and I looked at him, but they

1859
01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:38.359
<v Speaker 2>had wings, And what it was was a fire ant

1860
01:41:38.399 --> 01:41:42.720
<v Speaker 2>mating flight. A fire ant mating flight. So basically, these

1861
01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:45.319
<v Speaker 2>fire ants, after a good rain or something, they'll come

1862
01:41:45.359 --> 01:41:47.880
<v Speaker 2>to the surface. The reproductives have the wings. They fly

1863
01:41:47.960 --> 01:41:50.359
<v Speaker 2>up in the air. Male and female ants fly up

1864
01:41:50.399 --> 01:41:53.680
<v Speaker 2>in the air. They mate until several hundred feet up

1865
01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:56.319
<v Speaker 2>in the air. Now, first of all, how do you know,

1866
01:41:56.520 --> 01:41:58.520
<v Speaker 2>how do some entomologists know they have a hot air

1867
01:41:58.560 --> 01:42:00.359
<v Speaker 2>balloon and They go up in the air one hundred

1868
01:42:00.359 --> 01:42:03.840
<v Speaker 2>feet and have binoculars and go up there's two hey Louis,

1869
01:42:03.840 --> 01:42:05.680
<v Speaker 2>take it up another fifty feet. I don't know how

1870
01:42:05.720 --> 01:42:07.520
<v Speaker 2>they know how high they fly up in there and mate,

1871
01:42:07.520 --> 01:42:09.640
<v Speaker 2>but they do. And then they fall to the ground.

1872
01:42:09.760 --> 01:42:12.039
<v Speaker 2>The female falls at the ground, digs in the ground,

1873
01:42:12.039 --> 01:42:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and here we got another fireance mess started. That's what happens.

1874
01:42:16.640 --> 01:42:19.680
<v Speaker 2>And when we get these rains they are spreading. Termites

1875
01:42:19.720 --> 01:42:21.920
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing. Termites will fly out the hovery

1876
01:42:21.960 --> 01:42:25.399
<v Speaker 2>reproductive flight. I'm told that they go way up in

1877
01:42:25.439 --> 01:42:28.439
<v Speaker 2>the air too late at night. Uh. And how do

1878
01:42:28.439 --> 01:42:31.319
<v Speaker 2>you avoid this? You call pest bros. Pest bros can

1879
01:42:31.319 --> 01:42:34.920
<v Speaker 2>control fireance, they can call termites, they can control household pests,

1880
01:42:34.920 --> 01:42:38.479
<v Speaker 2>they control mosquitoes outdoors. They've got it all covered and

1881
01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:40.680
<v Speaker 2>they know how to do it effectively, and they do

1882
01:42:40.840 --> 01:42:44.000
<v Speaker 2>so in the safest possible manner, so you get long

1883

<v Speaker 2>way over western Katie or to the eastern Baytown, you're

<v Speaker 2>in pest Bros Region depestbros dot com. We're gonna go

1890
01:43:10.159 --> 01:43:14.039
<v Speaker 2>now out to Cyprus and talk to Diana. Hey, Diana,

1891
01:43:14.119 --> 01:43:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I got the pictures finally, and I'm ready to talk.

1892
01:43:16.760 --> 01:43:21.279
<v Speaker 14>About Okay, go ahead to see if you had an

1893
01:43:21.319 --> 01:43:23.119
<v Speaker 14>opportunity to look at them.

1894
01:43:23.840 --> 01:43:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I sure did. Yeah. So, first of all, the azaleas,

1895
01:43:27.479 --> 01:43:30.720
<v Speaker 2>what I notice is as you move away from the house,

1896
01:43:30.800 --> 01:43:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the plants get worse, uh, And the bed is real

1897
01:43:34.199 --> 01:43:36.439
<v Speaker 2>high up by the house, and then as it kind

1898
01:43:36.439 --> 01:43:39.560
<v Speaker 2>of goes down, it's a lower bed, and that's where

1899
01:43:39.560 --> 01:43:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the worst problem is. What I see is symptoms of

1900
01:43:43.279 --> 01:43:47.199
<v Speaker 2>iron deficiency and of roots just struggling. And it could

1901
01:43:47.239 --> 01:43:51.119
<v Speaker 2>be maybe soggy soil conditions. Maybe down there it's a

1902
01:43:51.119 --> 01:43:53.760
<v Speaker 2>little lower and the roots are in a wetter area

1903
01:43:53.840 --> 01:43:56.720
<v Speaker 2>than they are higher up. I don't know exactly why,

1904
01:43:57.199 --> 01:43:59.640
<v Speaker 2>but it is struggling on that end. That's also the

1905
01:43:59.680 --> 01:44:01.880
<v Speaker 2>north end of the row. If I'm not mistaken, I

1906
01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:04.880
<v Speaker 2>believe that's the east side of your patio. Either way,

1907
01:44:05.840 --> 01:44:13.000
<v Speaker 2>it is struggling along. So you may need to put

1908
01:44:13.039 --> 01:44:14.880
<v Speaker 2>some sides on the bed a little bit so you

1909
01:44:14.920 --> 01:44:17.439
<v Speaker 2>can build it up a little better and raise those

1910
01:44:17.479 --> 01:44:20.680
<v Speaker 2>plants on that end. Probably way to fall to do that,

1911
01:44:21.319 --> 01:44:23.840
<v Speaker 2>and you may need to replant one of those. Looks

1912
01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:26.800
<v Speaker 2>real bad down there, but that may be a longer

1913
01:44:26.880 --> 01:44:32.760
<v Speaker 2>term solution. Otherwise, you could use a keylated iron keylated iron,

1914
01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:36.720
<v Speaker 2>apply it especially to the yellowing plants. That may help

1915
01:44:36.800 --> 01:44:39.520
<v Speaker 2>some to fix some of the yellowing, but it's not

1916
01:44:39.560 --> 01:44:43.159
<v Speaker 2>going to solve the problem of soggy wet soil. So

1917
01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:48.000
<v Speaker 2>that would be my suggestions on those particular plants. The

1918
01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:51.439
<v Speaker 2>roses are really hard for me to make out in

1919
01:44:51.520 --> 01:44:54.640
<v Speaker 2>the pictures what's going on. I see the lack of vigor.

1920
01:44:55.039 --> 01:44:58.199
<v Speaker 2>It looks like some leaves have been chewed off, but

1921
01:44:58.600 --> 01:45:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I can't from the distance really tell that for sure.

1922
01:45:02.279 --> 01:45:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh whenever, oh, well, we put them out.

1923
01:45:09.279 --> 01:45:12.960
<v Speaker 14>I have four I have four uh roast bushes that

1924
01:45:13.000 --> 01:45:15.760
<v Speaker 14>were that we've had, you know last year that I

1925
01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:19.039
<v Speaker 14>had mentioned to you and we Those were put in

1926
01:45:19.119 --> 01:45:21.319
<v Speaker 14>when we moved into our home, which was a new build,

1927
01:45:21.720 --> 01:45:24.439
<v Speaker 14>and they were all doing the fine up until about

1928
01:45:24.520 --> 01:45:25.960
<v Speaker 14>last year. So I don't know if it was the

1929
01:45:26.000 --> 01:45:29.239
<v Speaker 14>trauma of the poplet of going through a freeze and

1930
01:45:29.239 --> 01:45:33.800
<v Speaker 14>then a draft situation and that they eventually turned black

1931
01:45:34.319 --> 01:45:36.880
<v Speaker 14>and we had to they just died. I mean I

1932
01:45:37.000 --> 01:45:39.199
<v Speaker 14>pulled them all up and then I just wanted to

1933
01:45:39.319 --> 01:45:42.520
<v Speaker 14>buy two to put in to replace them because I

1934
01:45:42.520 --> 01:45:44.920
<v Speaker 14>didn't want to take that chance again. And they and

1935
01:45:44.960 --> 01:45:47.479
<v Speaker 14>they're starting to do that where they lose the leaves.

1936
01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:49.479
<v Speaker 14>But I know we have bunny rabbits and that's the

1937
01:45:49.720 --> 01:45:53.760
<v Speaker 14>that's another concern that maybe they're eating the foliage off

1938
01:45:53.840 --> 01:45:54.920
<v Speaker 14>the leaves.

1939
01:45:55.359 --> 01:45:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess it's a possibility. I don't know what

1940
01:45:58.479 --> 01:46:02.000
<v Speaker 2>kinds of plants rabbits eat, uh you know, and uh

1941
01:46:02.399 --> 01:46:04.479
<v Speaker 2>so that may or may not be the case. Are

1942
01:46:04.520 --> 01:46:06.760
<v Speaker 2>these roses in full sun or are they getting quite

1943
01:46:06.760 --> 01:46:07.560
<v Speaker 2>a bit of shade?

1944
01:46:09.359 --> 01:46:11.079
<v Speaker 14>They're mostly in full sun.

1945
01:46:11.399 --> 01:46:11.600
<v Speaker 8>You know.

1946
01:46:11.600 --> 01:46:14.640
<v Speaker 14>They're right along the back wall of our of our

1947
01:46:14.680 --> 01:46:17.520
<v Speaker 14>property have a bird bath in the clean and then

1948
01:46:17.560 --> 01:46:20.560
<v Speaker 14>but it's went on either side and you know, you

1949
01:46:20.560 --> 01:46:23.760
<v Speaker 14>can tell this there's new foliage, I mean, leaves coming in.

1950
01:46:23.960 --> 01:46:31.039
<v Speaker 14>But then something seems to happen to them. Would as

1951
01:46:31.159 --> 01:46:33.399
<v Speaker 14>last year, and we took out all that old soil,

1952
01:46:33.479 --> 01:46:35.359
<v Speaker 14>the mulch and everything, and we placed with some of

1953
01:46:35.399 --> 01:46:39.000
<v Speaker 14>that good soil that you'd recommended and mulish, and so

1954
01:46:39.079 --> 01:46:41.920
<v Speaker 14>we were hoping that then all this has happened, and

1955
01:46:42.039 --> 01:46:45.800
<v Speaker 14>now so our holidays in this prens is another story.

1956
01:46:46.159 --> 01:46:47.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, You're off to a good start. One thing,

1957
01:46:48.319 --> 01:46:51.640
<v Speaker 2>real quick observation. That soil looks like it's pretty high

1958
01:46:51.720 --> 01:46:53.680
<v Speaker 2>up on that brick, and you need to get it

1959
01:46:53.760 --> 01:46:58.399
<v Speaker 2>down below the wheepholes for sure. That's how termites get entrance,

1960
01:46:58.560 --> 01:47:00.199
<v Speaker 2>and you want to be able to see if they're

1961
01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:02.439
<v Speaker 2>building a little mud nest going up in there. It's

1962
01:47:02.439 --> 01:47:04.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the things the entomologists will do from the

1963
01:47:04.520 --> 01:47:07.199
<v Speaker 2>pest control company. But it looks a little high. But

1964
01:47:07.319 --> 01:47:10.239
<v Speaker 2>that's that's an aside. Just to keep in mind, I

1965
01:47:10.279 --> 01:47:13.880
<v Speaker 2>would say i'd get a good rose fertilizer, or you

1966
01:47:13.920 --> 01:47:16.159
<v Speaker 2>know what, You can use a lawn fertilizer on those

1967
01:47:16.279 --> 01:47:20.560
<v Speaker 2>roses too. Just put about a quarter cup of fertilizer

1968
01:47:20.880 --> 01:47:25.520
<v Speaker 2>around each rose and a big old four foot diameter circle.

1969
01:47:26.199 --> 01:47:28.399
<v Speaker 2>If it's an organic fertilizer, you can use a lot

1970
01:47:28.439 --> 01:47:30.560
<v Speaker 2>more than that. If it's a synthetic, I wouldn't go

1971
01:47:30.560 --> 01:47:33.680
<v Speaker 2>above about a quarter cup. And that's that's actually quite

1972
01:47:33.680 --> 01:47:36.920
<v Speaker 2>a bit. But sprinkle it all around. Just don't dump

1973
01:47:36.960 --> 01:47:39.239
<v Speaker 2>it in a circle or anything. Sprinkle it around and

1974
01:47:39.640 --> 01:47:42.239
<v Speaker 2>then scratch it into the surface with a little rake

1975
01:47:42.439 --> 01:47:44.800
<v Speaker 2>or something, and then water it in really good. And

1976
01:47:44.880 --> 01:47:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I think you can push some vigor on that if

1977
01:47:46.840 --> 01:47:49.520
<v Speaker 2>it's getting good sunlight, and then let's see how they do.

1978
01:47:49.600 --> 01:47:51.399
<v Speaker 2>And as far as if it's rabbits, you know, I

1979
01:47:51.800 --> 01:47:52.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know on that.

1980
01:47:52.960 --> 01:47:53.720
<v Speaker 15>The fire.

1981
01:47:53.880 --> 01:47:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Finally, the hollies, and I've got a break. Come in here.

1982
01:47:56.840 --> 01:48:01.399
<v Speaker 2>The hollies. Nothing causes the lack of leaves and a

1983
01:48:01.439 --> 01:48:04.880
<v Speaker 2>straight line across the bottom of the bushes. That's related

1984
01:48:04.920 --> 01:48:08.600
<v Speaker 2>to insects or diseases or nutrients or anything like that.

1985
01:48:09.000 --> 01:48:11.399
<v Speaker 2>So something else is going on. I don't know if

1986
01:48:11.680 --> 01:48:16.720
<v Speaker 2>if rabbits eat holly leaves or not, but you know,

1987
01:48:16.800 --> 01:48:21.680
<v Speaker 2>it might be worth trying. You there are catch alive traps,

1988
01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:26.159
<v Speaker 2>the box traps where you can lurd things and capture

1989
01:48:26.159 --> 01:48:29.199
<v Speaker 2>them and then took them somewhere else to relocate. Yes,

1990
01:48:29.600 --> 01:48:32.399
<v Speaker 2>if you feel like that's the problem, that is work

1991
01:48:32.439 --> 01:48:35.119
<v Speaker 2>in trouble. But at least that way you would know

1992
01:48:35.159 --> 01:48:37.359
<v Speaker 2>what the problem was for sure.

1993
01:48:38.279 --> 01:48:42.239
<v Speaker 14>But anyway, okay, well on that back on the rose bushes,

1994
01:48:42.279 --> 01:48:44.640
<v Speaker 14>that's on a back on the very back of our property,

1995
01:48:44.680 --> 01:48:47.079
<v Speaker 14>and it's a brick wall that's put in by the

1996
01:48:47.119 --> 01:48:51.159
<v Speaker 14>developers and so it's not up against the house and

1997
01:48:51.199 --> 01:48:56.680
<v Speaker 14>there's no weepoles in that, so it's just good no wall. Yeah,

1998
01:48:57.439 --> 01:48:59.720
<v Speaker 14>but I'll try.

1999
01:48:59.520 --> 01:48:59.800
<v Speaker 12>Some of those.

2000
01:49:00.199 --> 01:49:04.079
<v Speaker 14>I have used the Neilson's uh fertilized on that, you know,

2001
01:49:04.119 --> 01:49:07.800
<v Speaker 14>pretty much like what you suggested. So I already did that.

2002
01:49:07.880 --> 01:49:11.000
<v Speaker 14>So I'm hoping that maybe maybe by chance they'll come out.

2003
01:49:12.239 --> 01:49:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, keep them, keep them adequately moist.

2004
01:49:15.359 --> 01:49:18.039
<v Speaker 14>Six years we've lived here, you know, so this is

2005
01:49:18.039 --> 01:49:20.079
<v Speaker 14>all just kind of a curve last year.

2006
01:49:20.560 --> 01:49:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Keep keep keep those adequately moist without keeping the assagi

2007
01:49:25.560 --> 01:49:27.760
<v Speaker 2>not soggy, but adequately moist. And we'll see how that

2008
01:49:27.800 --> 01:49:29.439
<v Speaker 2>turns out. I got to run, but thank you. I

2009
01:49:29.439 --> 01:49:33.840
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your call very much. We'll be right back, folks. Alrighty,

2010
01:49:33.880 --> 01:49:37.920
<v Speaker 2>we're back. Welcome back to guardenline. Hey, if you got

2011
01:49:37.920 --> 01:49:40.000
<v Speaker 2>a gardening question, give me a call. Seven one three

2014
01:49:46.720 --> 01:49:49.880
<v Speaker 2>for indoor plants. It's called water saving potting salt because

2015
01:49:49.880 --> 01:49:52.439
<v Speaker 2>that has crystals in it that soak up a lot

2016
01:49:52.439 --> 01:49:55.319
<v Speaker 2>of water, many times our weight and water when your

2017
01:49:55.319 --> 01:49:57.920
<v Speaker 2>soul gets a little dry, should you forget well, I

2018
01:49:57.960 --> 01:49:59.880
<v Speaker 2>know you don't forget the water. Should your neighbor forget

2019
01:49:59.880 --> 01:50:04.920
<v Speaker 2>to water? They're indoor plants. The crystals hold moisture a

2020
01:50:04.920 --> 01:50:06.600
<v Speaker 2>little longer, and the roots can get a hold of

2021
01:50:06.600 --> 01:50:09.199
<v Speaker 2>that moisture and it helps those plants not go into

2022
01:50:09.279 --> 01:50:12.439
<v Speaker 2>drop stress. So it's not that you should never water,

2023
01:50:12.520 --> 01:50:15.720
<v Speaker 2>but it just means a little more forgiving jungle and

2024
01:50:15.800 --> 01:50:19.800
<v Speaker 2>water saving potting soil distributed by Nitropas. Night Foss products

2025
01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:21.960
<v Speaker 2>are located all over the place. You can find them

2026
01:50:21.960 --> 01:50:24.520
<v Speaker 2>at Ace Hardware City I'm a moral drive. If you

2027
01:50:24.560 --> 01:50:26.640
<v Speaker 2>go to Hiding and Feed on a student airline, you'll

2028
01:50:26.640 --> 01:50:31.079
<v Speaker 2>find nitofoss products there. Maybe down in mont Bellevue on

2029
01:50:31.319 --> 01:50:35.359
<v Speaker 2>FM thirty one eighty at Fishers Hardware. They carry nitofoss

2030
01:50:35.399 --> 01:50:40.600
<v Speaker 2>products in those places as well. Those of you who

2031
01:50:40.840 --> 01:50:43.920
<v Speaker 2>are familiar with Buchanan's Plants, you know they're on Eleventh

2032
01:50:43.920 --> 01:50:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Street in the Heights. Have you seen the new building

2033
01:50:47.279 --> 01:50:49.640
<v Speaker 2>that they put in, the new checkout center that they

2034
01:50:49.640 --> 01:50:53.520
<v Speaker 2>put in. It is a nice strong metal roof, structure

2035
01:50:53.680 --> 01:50:57.640
<v Speaker 2>that it just if it's raining, you don't stand in

2036
01:50:57.680 --> 01:51:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the rain to check out. If it is blazing high,

2037
01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:03.239
<v Speaker 2>you don't stand in the blazing hot sun to check out.

2038
01:51:03.439 --> 01:51:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Is really cool. You know, they've been through a lot

2039
01:51:06.920 --> 01:51:10.960
<v Speaker 2>at Buchanans. Twice last year storms came in knocked tree

2040
01:51:10.960 --> 01:51:13.119
<v Speaker 2>limbs on their checkout area and just crushed it and

2041
01:51:13.159 --> 01:51:16.359
<v Speaker 2>had to rebuilt, had, you know, reconstruct everything. So they said,

2042
01:51:16.399 --> 01:51:19.880
<v Speaker 2>that's enough. We're putting in a nice new barn structure

2043
01:51:19.920 --> 01:51:23.079
<v Speaker 2>here that we'll use for our checkout and you're gonna

2048
01:51:39.279 --> 01:51:44.159
<v Speaker 2>looking for a native that attracts hummingbirds, Well they'll walk

01:51:44.199 --> 01:51:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you right over and show you the natives more than

<v Speaker 2>one that attract hummingbirds. Maybe you're looking for something to

2051
01:51:50.239 --> 01:51:53.960
<v Speaker 2>attract pollinators or butterflies. Maybe you need a plant that

2052
01:51:54.079 --> 01:51:57.319
<v Speaker 2>will grow in the shade and bring color to the

2053
01:51:57.359 --> 01:52:00.720
<v Speaker 2>shade the whole section for that their house plank greenhouse

2054

2057
01:52:11.960 --> 01:52:14.079
<v Speaker 2>in the house plant greenhouse. You need to go see that.

2058
01:52:14.600 --> 01:52:18.439
<v Speaker 2>When you're Buchanans, they understand bronze stuff comes before green stuff.

2059
01:52:18.479 --> 01:52:21.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why they carry a full line of microlife products

2065
01:52:37.760 --> 01:52:40.239
<v Speaker 2>but you're going to have the plants that are ready

<v Speaker 2>for success. They're experts at this. They know what they're

2067
01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:47.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about. Buchanansplants dot Com, Leventh Street and the Heights.

2068
01:52:47.119 --> 01:52:49.479
<v Speaker 2>Go check out the website and sign up for their

2069
01:52:49.520 --> 01:52:56.000
<v Speaker 2>newsletter too. By the way, it is outstanding. Gosh, I

2070
01:52:56.039 --> 01:52:58.319
<v Speaker 2>what have we can talk about next? I have a

2071
01:52:58.359 --> 01:53:03.000
<v Speaker 2>confession to make. There's a saying that the cobblers kids

2072
01:53:03.000 --> 01:53:06.079
<v Speaker 2>go barefoot. Have you ever heard that? The guy that

2073
01:53:06.119 --> 01:53:08.680
<v Speaker 2>makes shoes, doesn't have time to make his kid's shoes. Okay,

2074
01:53:09.279 --> 01:53:13.119
<v Speaker 2>it's true. In horticulture, I have not planted okra this year.

2075
01:53:13.720 --> 01:53:16.479
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know what's wrong with me. You know.

2076
01:53:16.560 --> 01:53:20.079
<v Speaker 2>I thought that I was so obsessed with okra I

2077
01:53:20.159 --> 01:53:22.359
<v Speaker 2>was gonna have to, I don't know, go wherever you

2078
01:53:22.479 --> 01:53:24.960
<v Speaker 2>go when you're maybe the Betty Ford Clinic has an

2079
01:53:25.000 --> 01:53:28.960
<v Speaker 2>okra section or something. But seriously, but I just had

2080
01:53:28.960 --> 01:53:30.960
<v Speaker 2>been too busy to get out there and do it.

2081
01:53:31.079 --> 01:53:32.680
<v Speaker 2>So that's going to happen this week. I'm going to

2082
01:53:32.760 --> 01:53:34.920
<v Speaker 2>get the okra in the ground. You know, just because

2083
01:53:34.960 --> 01:53:37.640
<v Speaker 2>summer comes and it gets blazing hot doesn't mean we

2084
01:53:37.760 --> 01:53:41.279
<v Speaker 2>can't plant things in the vegetable garden. There's a lot

2085
01:53:41.439 --> 01:53:46.720
<v Speaker 2>of great vegetables that thrive in hot, hot, sunny conditions.

2086
01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Okra is one. Another one is malabar greens. Malabar greens,

2087
01:53:50.359 --> 01:53:52.640
<v Speaker 2>they're a little bit, a little bit on the slippery side,

2088
01:53:53.119 --> 01:53:56.199
<v Speaker 2>as people say salaimey. I prefer to say musilaginous because

2089
01:53:56.199 --> 01:53:59.439
<v Speaker 2>it sounds better anyway. But it's a good one, a

2090
01:53:59.560 --> 01:54:03.560
<v Speaker 2>very good There is molokia, which is popular and a

2091
01:54:03.600 --> 01:54:05.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of Middle Eastern and some other areas around that

2092
01:54:06.000 --> 01:54:09.159
<v Speaker 2>whole region really, But it's a great green with rice

2093
01:54:09.199 --> 01:54:11.439
<v Speaker 2>dishes and lamb and different things like that. I grow

2094
01:54:11.479 --> 01:54:14.920
<v Speaker 2>that in my garden. Purslain greens. Yes, there's perslaine weed,

2095
01:54:14.960 --> 01:54:18.439
<v Speaker 2>there's personalaine flowers, and there's just vegetable types of perce

2096
01:54:18.520 --> 01:54:21.920
<v Speaker 2>lane that are grown for eating that can take the

2097
01:54:21.960 --> 01:54:24.880
<v Speaker 2>heat as well. We got many other options. A maringa.

2098
01:54:24.920 --> 01:54:26.720
<v Speaker 2>It's actually a little tree. You can cut it back,

2099
01:54:26.800 --> 01:54:28.920
<v Speaker 2>make a bush out of it. The foliage kind of

2100
01:54:28.920 --> 01:54:31.960
<v Speaker 2>has a nutty taste. I like actually use it in smoothies.

2101
01:54:32.479 --> 01:54:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Adds nutrients and a unique flavor to the smoothie. But

2102
01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:38.039
<v Speaker 2>you can cook it as well. Lots of good greens.

2103
01:54:38.079 --> 01:54:40.960
<v Speaker 2>There's no reason to stop gardening. In vegetable gardening in

2104
01:54:41.000 --> 01:54:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the summer. We got a lot of good options. And

2105
01:54:43.800 --> 01:54:45.680
<v Speaker 2>if you want give me a call, maybe I ought

2106
01:54:45.680 --> 01:54:48.439
<v Speaker 2>to put something on the website, make a note of that.

2107
01:54:48.439 --> 01:54:51.760
<v Speaker 2>That'd be good. Summer greens and summer vegetables would be

2108
01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:54.479
<v Speaker 2>a good addition to the website, a good handout for that.

2109
01:54:55.960 --> 01:55:00.000
<v Speaker 2>If you had planted a tree, you need a tree hugger, sprinkler.

2110
01:55:00.119 --> 01:55:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean if you planted a tree ten years ago,

2111
01:55:02.760 --> 01:55:05.439
<v Speaker 2>you still need a treeoggor sprintler. Here's why, goes around

2112
01:55:05.439 --> 01:55:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the tree. If it's a brand new tree, you barely

2113
01:55:07.800 --> 01:55:10.000
<v Speaker 2>turn it on and it waters that root cylinder that

2114
01:55:10.079 --> 01:55:13.279
<v Speaker 2>you just put in the ground, keeps it alive and well.

2115
01:55:13.760 --> 01:55:15.439
<v Speaker 2>If it is a big tree, you turn it on

2116
01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:17.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot and you can water as big of an

2117
01:55:17.359 --> 01:55:21.319
<v Speaker 2>area as you want. To rescue those established trees during grout.

2118
01:55:21.439 --> 01:55:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Not just rescue them, but keep them growing fast. That's

2119
01:55:24.079 --> 01:55:26.399
<v Speaker 2>very important. Rosarians love this product too. It's good for

2120
01:55:26.479 --> 01:55:28.920
<v Speaker 2>roses as well. You're going to find it a lot

2121
01:55:28.920 --> 01:55:31.840
<v Speaker 2>of places. Southwest Fertilizer of course has its single ranch

2122
01:55:31.880 --> 01:55:34.439
<v Speaker 2>ase katiace K and m ace and a tasca set

2123
01:55:34.479 --> 01:55:36.760
<v Speaker 2>of foolshere Ace. You're can find it at D and

2124
01:55:36.800 --> 01:55:39.840
<v Speaker 2>D Feed, Spriing Creek Feed Center up in the Tamboul area,

2125
01:55:40.159 --> 01:55:44.199
<v Speaker 2>Leake City Feed Arborgate, Nelson Water Gardens and Nurseries, adding

2126
01:55:44.319 --> 01:55:48.319
<v Speaker 2>in Katie RCW Nurseries, Warren Southern Gardens and kingwo Of

2127
01:55:48.359 --> 01:55:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Garden Center adding Kingwood and go down to Richmond Rosenberg

2128
01:55:51.079 --> 01:55:53.960
<v Speaker 2>area and Chenny Forest and Channing Gardens all carry tree

2129
01:55:54.000 --> 01:55:56.560
<v Speaker 2>hugger sprinklers. Get you one. You need to have it,

2130
01:55:56.720 --> 01:55:59.640
<v Speaker 2>keep it in the garage because it is not only

2131
01:55:59.720 --> 01:56:03.760
<v Speaker 2>great for new trees, but helping those established trees to

2132
01:56:03.800 --> 01:56:07.800
<v Speaker 2>grow faster and better. That is important. It's all about water,

2133
01:56:08.680 --> 01:56:12.479
<v Speaker 2>all about water. That is where our trees get into trouble.

2134
01:56:12.680 --> 01:56:15.479
<v Speaker 2>You know, we do fertilize trees, and I do, and

2135
01:56:15.520 --> 01:56:18.680
<v Speaker 2>it's important. It helps. But you know the research that

2136
01:56:18.720 --> 01:56:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I've seen fertilizing isn't a huge thing on trees. I mean,

2137
01:56:23.920 --> 01:56:26.760
<v Speaker 2>it helps, but it's not like you know, if you

2138
01:56:26.800 --> 01:56:28.439
<v Speaker 2>just fertilize a lot that trees are going to grow

2139
01:56:28.520 --> 01:56:32.680
<v Speaker 2>trice as fast. But water really matters. Water stresses and

2140
01:56:32.760 --> 01:56:34.960
<v Speaker 2>things really slow it down. And you know, when you

2141
01:56:35.000 --> 01:56:36.760
<v Speaker 2>plant a tree, your goal is to hang a hammock

2142
01:56:36.760 --> 01:56:38.680
<v Speaker 2>in it as soon as you can. So we got

2143
01:56:38.680 --> 01:56:42.960
<v Speaker 2>to get that thing growing right. That's important. When you

2144
01:56:42.960 --> 01:56:45.319
<v Speaker 2>fertilize your lawn, the trees get the nutrients from that

2145
01:56:45.359 --> 01:56:47.159
<v Speaker 2>because their roots are up in the top foot of

2146
01:56:47.159 --> 01:56:50.840
<v Speaker 2>soil primarily. Yes, I know, forget the image you've seen

2147
01:56:51.680 --> 01:56:54.279
<v Speaker 2>online or on the side of a tree truck that

2148
01:56:54.359 --> 01:56:56.960
<v Speaker 2>makes the tree look like a mirror image top and bottom.

2149
01:56:57.119 --> 01:57:01.119
<v Speaker 2>No trees have a spreading fat lat root system goes

2150
01:57:01.159 --> 01:57:04.159
<v Speaker 2>out about about twelve inches deep. The majority of the

2151
01:57:04.199 --> 01:57:06.880
<v Speaker 2>root system is twelve inches deep, and then the top

2152
01:57:07.720 --> 01:57:09.920
<v Speaker 2>as what the top is so up in that grass

2153
01:57:09.920 --> 01:57:12.319
<v Speaker 2>area you got a lot of tree roots. So for example,

2154
01:57:12.359 --> 01:57:14.760
<v Speaker 2>you get this superturf I keep talking about from Nitrofoss

2155
01:57:15.239 --> 01:57:18.119
<v Speaker 2>Superturf nineteen four ten. When you fertilize your lawn with that,

2156
01:57:18.199 --> 01:57:20.479
<v Speaker 2>it's releasing all summer and it's helping your lawn. But

2157
01:57:20.680 --> 01:57:23.239
<v Speaker 2>there are nutrients that those trees are also getting from it,

2158
01:57:23.520 --> 01:57:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and they will benefit from that as well. When we

2159
01:57:27.000 --> 01:57:30.159
<v Speaker 2>fertilize our lawn, there is a benefit to the trees.

2160
01:57:30.560 --> 01:57:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Superturf releases slowly, which is what I like about it.

2161
01:57:33.319 --> 01:57:35.600
<v Speaker 2>It's going to go about sixteen weeks out or four

2162
01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:38.399
<v Speaker 2>months and it works well. And you're going to find

2163
01:57:38.399 --> 01:57:41.840
<v Speaker 2>it where you find other night foss products. For example,

2164
01:57:41.880 --> 01:57:44.479
<v Speaker 2>go to Langham Creek a hardware on on FM five

2165
01:57:44.600 --> 01:57:47.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine right there in the backside of Copperfield, katie

2166
01:57:47.760 --> 01:57:51.319
<v Speaker 2>As hardware on Penoak, the Ace hardware on Mason Road too.

2167
01:57:51.399 --> 01:57:54.479
<v Speaker 2>On a single ranch is going to have it. You're

2168
01:57:54.520 --> 01:57:56.279
<v Speaker 2>just going to find it in a lot of different

2169
01:57:56.319 --> 01:58:00.319
<v Speaker 2>places that sell nitofoss products like Fisher's Hardbrown sophomore done

2170
01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:06.039
<v Speaker 2>in Pasadena. Well, let's see here, it's a little too

2171
01:58:06.039 --> 01:58:10.399
<v Speaker 2>short uh time here for me to start another discussion

2172
01:58:10.439 --> 01:58:14.399
<v Speaker 2>of something, So we're gonna move out of this session.

01:58:23.960 --> 01:58:28.199
<v Speaker 2>hour news seven one three two one two KTRH, you

<v Speaker 2>come back. We'd love to visit with you about the

2180
01:58:32.560 --> 01:58:35.520
<v Speaker 2>questions that you have and to help you have success.

2181
01:58:35.560 --> 01:58:38.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, gardening is supposed to be fun and if

2182
01:58:38.720 --> 01:58:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you do the right things, if you learn to think

2183
01:58:41.079 --> 01:58:43.920
<v Speaker 2>like a plant, if you can find out what a

2184
01:58:43.960 --> 01:58:47.560
<v Speaker 2>plant wants and give it that, your thumb looks greener

2185
01:58:47.600 --> 01:58:51.119
<v Speaker 2>to everybody because you're just giving a plant what it wants.

2186
01:58:51.760 --> 01:58:55.399
<v Speaker 2>That is all that it amounts to. So, h let's

2187
01:58:55.439 --> 01:58:57.880
<v Speaker 2>give you some tips on that. Let's have success with that.

2188
01:58:57.880 --> 01:59:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to remind you my website, gardening with Skip

2189
01:59:01.159 --> 01:59:04.680
<v Speaker 2>dot com. Gardening with Skip dot com, you'll find my

2190
01:59:04.840 --> 01:59:08.439
<v Speaker 2>two laun care schedules, lun Care and lawn pest Weez

2191
01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:11.760
<v Speaker 2>and disease schedules. On there you'll find some other good things.

2192
01:59:11.760 --> 01:59:13.159
<v Speaker 2>In fact, when I come back, I want to tell

2193
01:59:13.159 --> 01:59:15.960
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit about some of the things that

2194
01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:19.000
<v Speaker 2>we have put up recently on the schedule. I have

2195
01:59:19.079 --> 01:59:22.319
<v Speaker 2>a number of questions that have come up regarding things,

2196
01:59:22.960 --> 01:59:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and when I get a question over and over, I'll

2197
01:59:25.000 --> 01:59:27.039
<v Speaker 2>probably create a little factiont on it and stick it

2198
01:59:27.119 --> 01:59:30.039
<v Speaker 2>up there on the schedule, And I mean on the website.

2199
01:59:30.239 --> 01:59:32.880
<v Speaker 2>That way you could download it wherever you are bookmarket.

2200
01:59:33.119 --> 01:59:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I hope you bookmark the website Gardening with Skip dot com.

2201
01:59:38.199 --> 01:59:41.159
<v Speaker 2>That lots of good information on there based on the

2202
01:59:41.239 --> 01:59:44.600
<v Speaker 2>kinds of questions that people ask. Some things it's hard

2203
01:59:44.680 --> 01:59:47.520
<v Speaker 2>to fully answer on the air. I mean, it takes

2204
01:59:47.560 --> 01:59:50.039
<v Speaker 2>too long, too much detail, and when you say it

2205
01:59:50.119 --> 01:59:53.000
<v Speaker 2>people doesn't you know, we don't retain stuff. I forget

2206
01:59:53.039 --> 01:59:57.359
<v Speaker 2>stuff by the end of conversation sometimes. But when you

2207
01:59:57.359 --> 01:59:59.560
<v Speaker 2>can get a printed out of it, then that way

2208
01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:02.560
<v Speaker 2>you've got reference. That's what we're about. When we're back, Hey,

2209
02:00:02.680 --> 02:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Leslie in Baytown, you're gonna be our first stop. Good morning, gardeners.

2210
02:00:16.159 --> 02:00:18.560
<v Speaker 2>What are we going to talk about today? Well, that's

2211
02:00:18.640 --> 02:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>up to you. At this point oh. I actually have

2212
02:00:20.760 --> 02:00:23.359
<v Speaker 2>a few things I want to add too. But one

2213
02:00:23.359 --> 02:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>of the questions you have, how can we help you

2214
02:00:24.960 --> 02:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>have success? And listen, how can we help you have fun?

2215
02:00:28.359 --> 02:00:32.479
<v Speaker 2>Gardening should be fun. It should be It is not.

2216
02:00:32.720 --> 02:00:34.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, we don't live in the days where if

2217
02:00:34.560 --> 02:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>our crop fails are going to start the death. Okay,

2218
02:00:36.720 --> 02:00:40.239
<v Speaker 2>so we can the pressures off. We are just learning

2219
02:00:40.479 --> 02:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>and having fun out in the garden and enjoying being

2220
02:00:43.199 --> 02:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>out with the nature. I was talking to somebody yesterday

2221
02:00:45.840 --> 02:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>when I was at the arbor gate and we were

2222
02:00:47.680 --> 02:00:50.800
<v Speaker 2>just talking about the fact of how therapeutic gardening is,

2223
02:00:51.039 --> 02:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>and you know, all the benefits and stuff, and then

2224
02:00:53.920 --> 02:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're just talking about getting outside in the

2225
02:00:55.720 --> 02:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>garden and just being there and nature and plants and

2226
02:01:00.560 --> 02:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>how it made them feel. Well, that's true. Well let's

2227
02:01:03.520 --> 02:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>do this. Let's head out to Baytown now and we're

2228
02:01:05.920 --> 02:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>going to talk to Leslie. Hello, Leslie, welcome to garden Line. Hey, Rick,

2229
02:01:11.079 --> 02:01:15.239
<v Speaker 2>how are you doing. I'm doing well. I'm doing well.

2230
02:01:15.279 --> 02:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

2231
02:01:17.479 --> 02:01:18.399
<v Speaker 9>I wanted to ask.

2232
02:01:19.239 --> 02:01:22.359
<v Speaker 16>I'm gonna have a really really big pot and I'm

2233
02:01:22.359 --> 02:01:27.960
<v Speaker 16>putting two two gallons shrimp plants in there, and I

2234
02:01:28.039 --> 02:01:30.079
<v Speaker 16>wanted to know what I can put in that big,

2235
02:01:30.119 --> 02:01:33.239
<v Speaker 16>big pot. I want to say, it's like forty gallons

2236
02:01:34.119 --> 02:01:38.960
<v Speaker 16>just take up space besides just a bunch of potting soil, Like.

2237
02:01:38.880 --> 02:01:39.760
<v Speaker 6>What's a good mix?

2238
02:01:39.920 --> 02:01:43.640
<v Speaker 8>Okay, Pete Moss.

2239
02:01:42.439 --> 02:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Well when you say a big pot, what are what

2240
02:01:44.640 --> 02:01:47.279
<v Speaker 2>are we talking? How big? How far across? You know,

2241
02:01:47.399 --> 02:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>as the biggest steering.

2242
02:01:50.520 --> 02:01:55.359
<v Speaker 16>Three feet across, about three feet across, two feet down?

2243
02:01:56.760 --> 02:01:59.039
<v Speaker 14>Because I want these shrimp plants to just grow and

2244
02:01:59.079 --> 02:01:59.720
<v Speaker 14>grow and grow.

2245
02:02:01.079 --> 02:02:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, the more soil you have, the better plants

2246
02:02:04.800 --> 02:02:08.239
<v Speaker 2>will perform, and the less stressful they'll be when things

2247
02:02:08.279 --> 02:02:11.079
<v Speaker 2>get dry. You know, if you if that's a big pot.

2248
02:02:11.439 --> 02:02:13.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, but if you take away too much of

2249
02:02:13.119 --> 02:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>the soil, the roots don't have that volume of soil

2250
02:02:16.880 --> 02:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>to take water and nutrients out of, and you're gonna

2251
02:02:18.840 --> 02:02:23.119
<v Speaker 2>be water more often and so on. So that that's

2252
02:02:23.159 --> 02:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the first thing I understand that there can be too

2253
02:02:26.039 --> 02:02:28.399
<v Speaker 2>much area to buy all the soil to fill the

2254
02:02:28.399 --> 02:02:31.159
<v Speaker 2>whole thing. So if it's that size one thing you

2255
02:02:31.199 --> 02:02:33.239
<v Speaker 2>can do. There's a couple of ways to go about this.

2256
02:02:33.319 --> 02:02:38.640
<v Speaker 2>One way would be to take some plastic bottles, you know,

2257
02:02:38.840 --> 02:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>like the two liter coke bottles, like the little drinking

2258
02:02:41.840 --> 02:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>water bottles. Screw the caps on tight and just let

2259
02:02:44.880 --> 02:02:47.079
<v Speaker 2>them be full of air. Put them in the bottom

2260
02:02:47.760 --> 02:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>and fill up a bunch of volume just just with that,

2261
02:02:51.800 --> 02:02:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and then you can throw your soil in. I mean,

2262
02:02:53.640 --> 02:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>if you wanted to put something over them, you could.

2263
02:02:55.880 --> 02:02:58.479
<v Speaker 2>I would just throw the soil in around them, and

2264
02:02:58.880 --> 02:03:03.239
<v Speaker 2>so they're taking up whatever percentage of soil of space

2265
02:03:03.359 --> 02:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>you need them to, and then fill in the soil

2266
02:03:06.000 --> 02:03:10.119
<v Speaker 2>in around them. Okay, okay, that's great.

2267
02:03:10.199 --> 02:03:14.079
<v Speaker 10>That's what I wanted and easy, and yeah, there you go.

2268
02:03:14.840 --> 02:03:20.520
<v Speaker 10>Well I appreciate it, you bet you too.

2269
02:03:20.560 --> 02:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>You take care. I did that one time. I had

2270
02:03:23.239 --> 02:03:29.239
<v Speaker 2>those chimney liners, those terra cotta type clay. Uh they're

2271
02:03:29.399 --> 02:03:32.119
<v Speaker 2>they're sort of rectangular to square, but but they have

2272
02:03:32.199 --> 02:03:35.119
<v Speaker 2>rounded corners, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, they

2273
02:03:35.159 --> 02:03:39.079
<v Speaker 2>stand about, oh gosh, three feet high something like that.

2274
02:03:39.319 --> 02:03:41.439
<v Speaker 2>And I was gonna put some little flowers in the top. Well,

2275
02:03:41.439 --> 02:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>those flowers don't need roots that are three feet deep,

2276
02:03:44.520 --> 02:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>and so I put a bunch of those in the

2277
02:03:46.199 --> 02:03:49.600
<v Speaker 2>bottom of those bottles. And then actually, in this case,

2278
02:03:50.039 --> 02:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I laid a piece of hardware cloth that little square

2279
02:03:52.520 --> 02:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>inch stuff you put underneath the rabbit cage. I cut

2280
02:03:55.520 --> 02:03:57.760
<v Speaker 2>a piece out to fit perfectly in there and set

2281
02:03:57.800 --> 02:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>it on top of them. And then I took a

2282
02:03:59.199 --> 02:04:03.319
<v Speaker 2>little liner that was like weat fabric and put it

2283
02:04:03.359 --> 02:04:05.359
<v Speaker 2>on top of the soil, I mean on top of

2284
02:04:05.399 --> 02:04:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the wire. And then when I feel it was soil,

2285
02:04:07.800 --> 02:04:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the soil didn't fall all in because I just didn't

2286
02:04:10.640 --> 02:04:13.239
<v Speaker 2>need that much soil, okay, And that's what I did.

2287
02:04:13.319 --> 02:04:15.159
<v Speaker 2>And then that way, when I had to clean it out,

2288
02:04:15.600 --> 02:04:17.319
<v Speaker 2>it was easy to dump it over and get the

2289
02:04:17.319 --> 02:04:20.159
<v Speaker 2>bottles out of the way and easy to go. So.

2290
02:04:20.239 --> 02:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>But in general, be careful about replacing soil because the

2291
02:04:24.840 --> 02:04:28.159
<v Speaker 2>more you have, the happier those plants will be, especially

2292
02:04:28.199 --> 02:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>in the summer hot weather conditions. Medina products are widely

2293
02:04:33.800 --> 02:04:36.439
<v Speaker 2>available and have been for a very long time here

2294
02:04:36.479 --> 02:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in the Greater Houston area. Medina Plus is an example

2295
02:04:39.720 --> 02:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>of that. You know, the original Medina sial activator has

2296
02:04:42.640 --> 02:04:46.319
<v Speaker 2>been very popular customers for a very long time, and

2297
02:04:46.399 --> 02:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>then they added the Medina Plus which is fortified with

2298
02:04:49.760 --> 02:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>essential micronutrients and seaweed extract, so you still get all

2299
02:04:53.039 --> 02:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the natural soil building advantages of the Medina hastergro or

2300
02:04:57.560 --> 02:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, Medina sal activator. I'll but you also have

2301
02:05:00.880 --> 02:05:04.039
<v Speaker 2>these extra ingredients which make it too a good folier

2302
02:05:04.119 --> 02:05:08.439
<v Speaker 2>feed for plants, tree shrubs, for lawns. The seaweed extracts

2303
02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>are in there. They help plants with achieving their maximum

2304
02:05:11.960 --> 02:05:15.520
<v Speaker 2>growth and yield potential. And it's just a good product.

2305
02:05:15.560 --> 02:05:17.720
<v Speaker 2>You should have it on hand. I like the Medina

2306
02:05:17.760 --> 02:05:19.840
<v Speaker 2>has to grow six to twelve six plant food, which

2307
02:05:19.920 --> 02:05:24.079
<v Speaker 2>I primarily use for trenchplanting. It has other uses. That's

2308
02:05:24.239 --> 02:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>just the one where I most use. It's got a

2309
02:05:26.119 --> 02:05:28.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of phosphors in it, good for root development and

2310
02:05:28.640 --> 02:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>so on. Whatever you do when you go with the

2311
02:05:31.680 --> 02:05:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Medina product, try it out, see how it works for you.

2312
02:05:34.720 --> 02:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I know you're going to be happy with it. And

2313
02:05:37.720 --> 02:05:40.119
<v Speaker 2>they're so widely available that I don't even have to

2314
02:05:40.399 --> 02:05:42.840
<v Speaker 2>have to tell you where to get them because they're everywhere.

2315
02:05:43.479 --> 02:05:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I always see those when I go into feed stores

2316
02:05:46.840 --> 02:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>and hardware stores like ACE and garden centers and places

2317
02:05:50.880 --> 02:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>like that. Medina products I was looking at. I follow

2318
02:05:57.880 --> 02:06:03.239
<v Speaker 2>my sponsors Facebook pages and Instagram pages and just see

2319
02:06:03.279 --> 02:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>because it always tells you what's going on, what they're

2320
02:06:06.000 --> 02:06:09.079
<v Speaker 2>doing in various locations and so on, and a Kingwood

2321
02:06:09.119 --> 02:06:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Garden Center and Warren Southern Gardens. Those are two that

2322
02:06:13.000 --> 02:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>are out there in Kingwood. I don't know how Kingwood

2323
02:06:16.039 --> 02:06:19.079
<v Speaker 2>got two garden centers like that, but they did good

2324
02:06:19.079 --> 02:06:24.239
<v Speaker 2>for you, Lucky Kingwood. Kingwood Garden Center has an outstanding

2325
02:06:24.439 --> 02:06:27.479
<v Speaker 2>gift shop inside. Now, these two garden centers have much

2326
02:06:27.479 --> 02:06:30.720
<v Speaker 2>of the same kinds of plants, but they're each unique

2327
02:06:30.720 --> 02:06:33.720
<v Speaker 2>in their own way. And so when it comes to

2328
02:06:33.760 --> 02:06:37.039
<v Speaker 2>that gift shop, that Kingwood Garden Center just amazing as

2329
02:06:37.079 --> 02:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>well as a lot of really nice cool plants. And

2330
02:06:39.800 --> 02:06:43.319
<v Speaker 2>then there's Warren Southern Gardens amazing in its own way.

2331
02:06:43.960 --> 02:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>And in both of those you're going to find soil products,

2332
02:06:46.399 --> 02:06:49.319
<v Speaker 2>you're going to find fertilizer products, and then the plants

2333
02:06:49.640 --> 02:06:52.039
<v Speaker 2>to help you have success. That's what it's all about.

2334
02:06:53.199 --> 02:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Warren's is on North Park Drive, Kingwood Garden Center is

2335
02:06:56.640 --> 02:06:59.239
<v Speaker 2>on Stone Hollow Drive. Both of them are open seven

2336
02:06:59.319 --> 02:07:01.319
<v Speaker 2>days a week, so today it'd be a good day

2337
02:07:01.680 --> 02:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>to get out there. This afternoon. Let's head out to

2338
02:07:05.800 --> 02:07:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Friends with now and we're going to talk to Alan. Hello, Alan,

2339
02:07:09.119 --> 02:07:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to garden Line. Hey, Skip, how you doing today?

2340
02:07:13.520 --> 02:07:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm well, thank you. How can we help.

2341
02:07:16.079 --> 02:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I've got a question about my miracle berry.

2342
02:07:17.840 --> 02:07:20.119
<v Speaker 2>I've had trouble getting it to put on any berries.

2343
02:07:20.159 --> 02:07:21.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm starting to think I should call it it's a

2344
02:07:21.760 --> 02:07:23.159
<v Speaker 6>miracle if you get a berry.

2345
02:07:22.880 --> 02:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Bush that's good, miracle berry? Do you have another name

2346
02:07:30.560 --> 02:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>for that?

2347
02:07:32.399 --> 02:07:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't, but it's one of those where you taste

2348
02:07:35.439 --> 02:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>something sweet, you eat the berry and it tastes sour.

2349
02:07:37.760 --> 02:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>It flips the flavor opposite.

2350
02:07:40.560 --> 02:07:42.359
<v Speaker 1>That's why they called it a miracle berry.

2351
02:07:43.720 --> 02:07:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

2352
02:07:44.319 --> 02:07:46.880
<v Speaker 15>And last year I got two berries and I took

2353
02:07:46.920 --> 02:07:49.119
<v Speaker 15>care of them, and then birds got them before I

2354
02:07:49.119 --> 02:07:51.600
<v Speaker 15>could get them.

2355
02:07:51.600 --> 02:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. I

2356
02:07:54.359 --> 02:07:57.199
<v Speaker 2>think I know it's called there's a miracle fruit that

2357
02:07:57.239 --> 02:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I've heard of before. Makes might be a yeah, it's

2358
02:08:01.840 --> 02:08:05.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a They one time they thought that it might

2359
02:08:05.600 --> 02:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>be a good way to create a natural, non caloric sweetener,

2360
02:08:09.000 --> 02:08:11.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of like sweeten low kinds of things, but a different,

2361
02:08:11.600 --> 02:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>different ingredient for it.

2362
02:08:13.439 --> 02:08:13.760
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

2363
02:08:13.880 --> 02:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>The The plants need good sunlight. They don't want to

2364
02:08:17.880 --> 02:08:20.479
<v Speaker 2>grow in a lot of shade. They're very not a

2365
02:08:20.520 --> 02:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of pests and diseases. You can get meatlely bugs

2366
02:08:22.600 --> 02:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>and spider mites on them sometimes about the only ones

2367
02:08:24.720 --> 02:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm familiar with. But you just need to keep them

2368
02:08:28.479 --> 02:08:32.399
<v Speaker 2>adequately moist that that is important. They they don't need

2369
02:08:32.439 --> 02:08:36.239
<v Speaker 2>to dry out. Uh if given time. Their root system

2370
02:08:36.760 --> 02:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>is adequate, you know, for for mining the soil for

2371
02:08:41.039 --> 02:08:44.319
<v Speaker 2>nutrients and creating a nice, good root system. But the

2372
02:08:44.319 --> 02:08:47.279
<v Speaker 2>bottom line is just fertilize them lightly as you go along.

2373
02:08:47.920 --> 02:08:50.279
<v Speaker 2>They like it a little acidic. So if you want

2374
02:08:50.319 --> 02:08:53.359
<v Speaker 2>to get you a fertilizer for azaleas and camellias and things,

2375
02:08:53.560 --> 02:08:57.680
<v Speaker 2>that would be fine. You could you could just do that. Uh,

2376
02:08:58.159 --> 02:09:04.039
<v Speaker 2>you know a lot of people grow yeah, yeah, yeah,

2377
02:09:04.039 --> 02:09:08.399
<v Speaker 2>the Microlife the one for acid loving plants would be good.

2378
02:09:08.600 --> 02:09:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm hearing that. I got to go to a break here,

2379
02:09:10.920 --> 02:09:13.760
<v Speaker 2>but they can growing containers but at least at least

2380
02:09:13.800 --> 02:09:17.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty gallons and give them a good quality potting mix

2381
02:09:17.680 --> 02:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>and some of the Microlife type fertilizers. That's the right

2382
02:09:21.000 --> 02:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>ratio for this particular plant as well. Thanks thanks man

2383
02:09:25.039 --> 02:09:28.439
<v Speaker 2>for the call. So I have to run all right,

2384
02:09:31.199 --> 02:09:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you get a free break from weeds for the year

2385
02:09:33.760 --> 02:09:37.359
<v Speaker 2>if you can name that band. There you go, you

2386
02:09:37.479 --> 02:09:39.920
<v Speaker 2>name it, and no weeds will come up in your lawn. Okay,

2387
02:09:40.479 --> 02:09:43.239
<v Speaker 2>all right, whoever believes that, call in with the name

<v Speaker 2>ambiance in the evenings, which is when we spend the

2400
02:10:27.920 --> 02:10:30.880
<v Speaker 2>most of our time outdoors in the summertime when it

2401
02:10:30.880 --> 02:10:34.520
<v Speaker 2>gets really hot here to barbecue pits and other things.

2402

2405

02:11:15.199 --> 02:11:17.920
<v Speaker 2>you've come to expect from an ACE Hardware. So you

<v Speaker 2>go up to Cyprus on Jones Road, for example, there's

2418

<v Speaker 2>an ACE Hardware there. There is a Hardware City on

2419
02:11:23.479 --> 02:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Memorial where I was a while back, not too long ago. Uh,

<v Speaker 2>And there's Kilgore ACE hard Run East Main down in

<v Speaker 2>can find at ACE Hardware Texas dot com. That is good.

2425
02:11:45.399 --> 02:11:48.680
<v Speaker 2>When I sugon with some of the folks from Nelson

2426
02:11:48.800 --> 02:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Plant Food the other day about some of the new

2427
02:11:51.680 --> 02:11:55.039
<v Speaker 2>products and things that they have, and there's a product

2428
02:11:55.159 --> 02:11:58.079
<v Speaker 2>that's not new, uh. It is called Bruce's Brew. It's

2429
02:11:58.159 --> 02:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>part of the turf Star line, and we were just

2430
02:12:00.199 --> 02:12:03.399
<v Speaker 2>talking about the details of different kinds of fertilizers, especially

2431
02:12:03.439 --> 02:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>the nutri Star line that's specific kinds of plant foods,

2432
02:12:06.399 --> 02:12:10.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, hibiscus and flying tropicals is one example. Bruce

2433
02:12:10.279 --> 02:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Is Brew is unique. We talk about early in my

2434
02:12:13.039 --> 02:12:14.680
<v Speaker 2>schedule in the early spring, if you want to do

2435
02:12:14.680 --> 02:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>a court green up early on, we use an immediately

2436
02:12:17.319 --> 02:12:21.319
<v Speaker 2>release fertilizer for that because it's available right away. You

2437
02:12:21.399 --> 02:12:23.159
<v Speaker 2>put it down, you water it, and the nutrients are

2438
02:12:23.199 --> 02:12:25.079
<v Speaker 2>heading into the soil and the planet roots are taking

2439
02:12:25.079 --> 02:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>them up pretty quick. Then they're slow release that we

2440
02:12:28.039 --> 02:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>do all summer. Bruce's Brew is like a hybrid. You

2441
02:12:31.079 --> 02:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>get an immediate release from it, initial release of nutrients

2442
02:12:35.399 --> 02:12:38.479
<v Speaker 2>and then it evens out over time for more regulated

2443
02:12:38.520 --> 02:12:42.640
<v Speaker 2>growth and so you get nice, good root development without

2444
02:12:42.720 --> 02:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the extra mowing in your turf during the summertime. It's

2445
02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:51.279
<v Speaker 2>carbon based nitrogen sources. You know, microbes love carbon and

2446
02:12:51.319 --> 02:12:54.000
<v Speaker 2>they really stimulate them in the soil. Keeps the soil

2447
02:12:54.079 --> 02:12:56.439
<v Speaker 2>in its best shape. When you have healthy soil, you

2448
02:12:56.479 --> 02:13:00.079
<v Speaker 2>have healthy grass, less vulnerability to pests and weeds. U

2449
02:13:00.279 --> 02:13:02.239
<v Speaker 2>brew can do all of that, and it's widely available

2450
02:13:02.239 --> 02:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>here in the Greater Houston area. Nelson planned food turf

2451
02:13:05.840 --> 02:13:11.279
<v Speaker 2>star line product called Bruce's Brew. We're gonna head to

2452
02:13:11.319 --> 02:13:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Magnolia now and talk to Joel. Hello, Joel, welcome to

2453
02:13:14.479 --> 02:13:15.119
<v Speaker 2>garden Line.

2454
02:13:16.640 --> 02:13:18.199
<v Speaker 6>That's nice. Good morning, Skip.

2455
02:13:18.239 --> 02:13:22.119
<v Speaker 2>How you doing. I'm well, all right.

2456
02:13:22.199 --> 02:13:28.359
<v Speaker 6>Hey. I treated my lagustriums with some backanhol because of

2457
02:13:28.399 --> 02:13:31.399
<v Speaker 6>the fungus that I get on them. And right after

2458
02:13:31.439 --> 02:13:34.640
<v Speaker 6>that I got a white powdery substance and I thought

2459
02:13:34.680 --> 02:13:36.640
<v Speaker 6>it was just the residue from the deck and all,

2460
02:13:36.680 --> 02:13:38.479
<v Speaker 6>but now it's spreading. So I'd like to know how

2461
02:13:38.520 --> 02:13:42.840
<v Speaker 6>to treat this white powdery mildew stuff that's on the

2462
02:13:42.920 --> 02:13:45.000
<v Speaker 6>leaves spread.

2463
02:13:44.760 --> 02:13:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, it probably it probably is powdery mildew. There are

2464
02:13:47.920 --> 02:13:50.560
<v Speaker 2>some lagustrims that can certainly suffer from that, as well

2465
02:13:50.600 --> 02:13:53.399
<v Speaker 2>as other plants. The organic end of it is to

2466
02:13:53.479 --> 02:13:56.279
<v Speaker 2>use the horticulture oil and spray over the surface of

2467
02:13:56.279 --> 02:13:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the leaves and it kills the pottery mildew that's growing

2468
02:13:58.920 --> 02:14:02.199
<v Speaker 2>on the leaf surface. Now, once it starts to malform

2469
02:14:02.359 --> 02:14:06.199
<v Speaker 2>leaves and discolor the leaves. Uh, you're not going to

2470
02:14:06.319 --> 02:14:09.800
<v Speaker 2>cure that, but you can prevent additional infection for a

2471
02:14:09.840 --> 02:14:13.479
<v Speaker 2>longer term. A product called Belton b A Y L

2472
02:14:13.600 --> 02:14:17.359
<v Speaker 2>E t O n be Leton is a synthetic that

2473
02:14:17.600 --> 02:14:20.359
<v Speaker 2>is soaks in. It soaks into the tissue and it'll

2474
02:14:20.399 --> 02:14:23.840
<v Speaker 2>give you longer control of the powdery mildew. But there's

2475
02:14:23.840 --> 02:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>your options organic ins that I.

2476
02:14:25.760 --> 02:14:33.319
<v Speaker 8>Can use you the one so alrighty, And this is

2477
02:14:33.439 --> 02:14:34.359
<v Speaker 8>not fatal the planet.

2478
02:14:34.359 --> 02:14:36.039
<v Speaker 6>It's just going to be depolage.

2479
02:14:37.720 --> 02:14:37.840
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

2480
02:14:38.000 --> 02:14:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is. The foliage forms, it deforms it because

2481
02:14:42.039 --> 02:14:43.039
<v Speaker 2>it can't grow normally.

2482
02:14:43.359 --> 02:14:43.680
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

2483
02:14:43.720 --> 02:14:47.159
<v Speaker 2>And it causes some kind of staining brown. Sometimes you'll

2484
02:14:47.199 --> 02:14:50.279
<v Speaker 2>see that in some plants. It's just an ugly but

2485
02:14:50.680 --> 02:14:53.199
<v Speaker 2>if it if it's bad enough, it's taking away the

2486
02:14:53.239 --> 02:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>solar panels that the plant needs for energy. So by

2487
02:14:57.079 --> 02:14:59.920
<v Speaker 2>taking away the leaves. So that's the concern with powder,

2488
02:15:00.119 --> 02:15:01.439
<v Speaker 2>they'll do other than the aesthetic.

2489
02:15:02.039 --> 02:15:04.199
<v Speaker 6>All right, fantastic. I appreciate you.

2490
02:15:04.520 --> 02:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, you bet, thank you, Joel. I appreciate your call. Uh,

2491
02:15:09.319 --> 02:15:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Houston powder Coders. The first time I went in there,

2492
02:15:13.319 --> 02:15:15.800
<v Speaker 2>my jaw hit the ground. I couldn't believe what they

2493
02:15:15.800 --> 02:15:19.039
<v Speaker 2>can do for furniture for outdoor metal period. Doesn't it

2494
02:15:19.399 --> 02:15:22.680
<v Speaker 2>just have to be furniture, but aluminum patio furniture, things

2495
02:15:22.680 --> 02:15:24.720
<v Speaker 2>made out of wrought iron or cast iron. They can

2496
02:15:24.760 --> 02:15:27.439
<v Speaker 2>coat it and they know how to fix things. If

2497
02:15:27.439 --> 02:15:29.439
<v Speaker 2>it needs a little well tack weiled here or there,

2498
02:15:29.640 --> 02:15:31.600
<v Speaker 2>if it needs a little bit of maybe maybe the

2499
02:15:31.680 --> 02:15:34.319
<v Speaker 2>old bolts and things are rusting. They got nice stainless

2500
02:15:34.319 --> 02:15:36.960
<v Speaker 2>steel ones. They'll replace them with. They'll take care of it.

2501
02:15:37.079 --> 02:15:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Replace those plastic feet and end caps on some of

2502
02:15:39.680 --> 02:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>that tubular furniture you know has a little plastic foot

2503
02:15:41.960 --> 02:15:44.279
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the metal tube. Then they can

2504
02:15:44.279 --> 02:15:45.720
<v Speaker 2>take care of all of that kind of thing and

2505
02:15:45.760 --> 02:15:48.479
<v Speaker 2>make it like new. That free pickup and free delivery

2514
02:16:18.520 --> 02:16:22.239
<v Speaker 2>head now to Brenham, Texas and talk to rister. Hey, rister,

2515
02:16:22.319 --> 02:16:23.479
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to guardline.

2516
02:16:24.199 --> 02:16:29.439
<v Speaker 4>Good, good morning. I'm having a continuous problem with the

2517
02:16:29.479 --> 02:16:32.319
<v Speaker 4>oak tree, large nice oak tree in my front yard.

2518
02:16:32.440 --> 02:16:36.280
<v Speaker 4>I thought I had rectified a problem by this weedying.

2519
02:16:36.440 --> 02:16:40.600
<v Speaker 4>The suckers that were coming off the roots stand out

2520
02:16:40.639 --> 02:16:44.000
<v Speaker 4>from the tree about ten twelve feet right at the

2521
02:16:44.040 --> 02:16:46.680
<v Speaker 4>top of the ground. Then suckers would come off of that,

2522
02:16:46.920 --> 02:16:49.399
<v Speaker 4>and I was just knocking them off with a weed

2523
02:16:49.440 --> 02:16:52.319
<v Speaker 4>eater for a long time, and that seemed to reduce it.

2524
02:16:52.360 --> 02:16:54.479
<v Speaker 4>But then I put mulk on top of it about

2525
02:16:54.479 --> 02:16:58.079
<v Speaker 4>three inches deep, and now they're just coming up everywhere.

2526
02:16:58.120 --> 02:17:01.319
<v Speaker 4>And I'm afraid to put a thought about putting wipe

2527
02:17:01.319 --> 02:17:03.920
<v Speaker 4>out or something on them that said that might hurt you,

2528
02:17:04.200 --> 02:17:06.799
<v Speaker 4>treat it would do.

2529
02:17:06.959 --> 02:17:10.239
<v Speaker 2>That's a good that's yeah, you can't. You can't kill

2530
02:17:10.280 --> 02:17:13.360
<v Speaker 2>them like that. There's not a lot to do for it.

2531
02:17:13.680 --> 02:17:16.600
<v Speaker 2>The more you disturb soil, that includes like you know,

2532
02:17:16.600 --> 02:17:19.000
<v Speaker 2>putt a little rotor tiller bed in there or something,

2533
02:17:19.280 --> 02:17:23.079
<v Speaker 2>or over watering a lot, and when you have flower

2534
02:17:23.079 --> 02:17:25.639
<v Speaker 2>bed at the base, you're watering a lot. Those kind

2535
02:17:25.680 --> 02:17:28.719
<v Speaker 2>of things make the suckers occur. Even faster and more.

2536
02:17:29.360 --> 02:17:32.799
<v Speaker 2>But there's there's not a way to just kill that sucker.

2537
02:17:32.879 --> 02:17:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you could burn the leaves off of it

2538
02:17:35.120 --> 02:17:38.079
<v Speaker 2>with a with a product that's toxic or you know

2539
02:17:38.159 --> 02:17:41.200
<v Speaker 2>that burns the foliage, but that doesn't change anything. It'll

2540
02:17:41.200 --> 02:17:44.000
<v Speaker 2>just keep growing with new leaves. There is a product

2541
02:17:44.040 --> 02:17:48.319
<v Speaker 2>called sucker stopper, sucker stopper. It's not really easy to find.

2542
02:17:48.639 --> 02:17:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they probably have it at a Southwest fertilizer.

2543
02:17:53.159 --> 02:17:56.559
<v Speaker 2>But if you can treat a sucker at the base

2544
02:17:56.920 --> 02:17:59.639
<v Speaker 2>after you cut it off, it is a hormone that

2545
02:18:00.120 --> 02:18:03.280
<v Speaker 2>is the plant't don't regrow shoot here, and it's not

2546
02:18:03.479 --> 02:18:06.639
<v Speaker 2>like forever, but it is a suppressive thing that it

2547
02:18:06.680 --> 02:18:09.559
<v Speaker 2>would probably help a little bit on this. Typically I

2548
02:18:09.600 --> 02:18:11.760
<v Speaker 2>would recommend it for like the base of crape myrtles

2549
02:18:11.760 --> 02:18:13.520
<v Speaker 2>where you get all those shoots coming out of the

2550
02:18:13.520 --> 02:18:18.200
<v Speaker 2>base for that, But you might try sucker.

2551
02:18:17.959 --> 02:18:21.399
<v Speaker 4>Stuff all the mulch on top of it to get

2552
02:18:21.440 --> 02:18:21.719
<v Speaker 4>to that.

2553
02:18:22.159 --> 02:18:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you want to get down to

2554
02:18:27.040 --> 02:18:28.879
<v Speaker 2>where it's going to rea sprout for Yeah, it is.

2555
02:18:29.239 --> 02:18:30.680
<v Speaker 2>There's not a good That's why I said not a

2556
02:18:30.680 --> 02:18:34.120
<v Speaker 2>good answer to it. It's not Some people will put

2557
02:18:34.159 --> 02:18:37.200
<v Speaker 2>a really nice groundcover fabric, a good heavy one over

2558
02:18:37.280 --> 02:18:40.479
<v Speaker 2>the base and then put a weighted mulch over that.

2559
02:18:40.639 --> 02:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, it could be gravel or something like that,

2560
02:18:43.040 --> 02:18:45.079
<v Speaker 2>and that will hold them down. They just won't be

2561
02:18:45.079 --> 02:18:49.159
<v Speaker 2>able to come up and do much. But you know,

2562
02:18:49.200 --> 02:18:51.879
<v Speaker 2>you got to. It's a challenge to be able to

2563
02:18:52.840 --> 02:18:57.440
<v Speaker 2>control them. Unfortunately, some not all live oaks. Some live

2564
02:18:57.479 --> 02:18:58.840
<v Speaker 2>oaks are really prone to that.

2565
02:19:00.600 --> 02:19:04.920
<v Speaker 4>All right, long routes. That does it. I'm just going

2566
02:19:05.040 --> 02:19:07.639
<v Speaker 4>to live with it, I guess, isn't that. I thank you?

2567
02:19:08.440 --> 02:19:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, sir, thank you. Sorry I couldn't give

2568
02:19:11.399 --> 02:19:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you a nice, easy solution today. You take care, appreciate,

2569
02:19:16.479 --> 02:19:18.920
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your call.

2570
02:19:19.159 --> 02:19:19.280

02:19:27.239 --> 02:19:29.559
<v Speaker 2>It's a family owned operation. So when you give them

2574
02:19:29.600 --> 02:19:31.760
<v Speaker 2>a call, you're probably going to talk to Martin's mom

2575
02:19:31.799 --> 02:19:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Martin Spoon Moore, that's his company and it is a

2576
02:19:34.760 --> 02:19:37.440
<v Speaker 2>family business. You can you can dial them up. Just

2577
02:19:37.479 --> 02:19:41.600
<v Speaker 2>go to seven one three, six nine two six sixty three.

2578
02:19:42.040 --> 02:19:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Probably talk to Martin's mom. Tell her you heard about

<v Speaker 2>us on guardline. Because Guardline customers are their priority that's

2580
02:19:47.079 --> 02:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>seven one three six ninety nine two six six three.

2581

2583
02:19:57.319 --> 02:20:01.079
<v Speaker 2>stump grinding uh? And the most important is reconstruction care.

2584
02:20:01.360 --> 02:20:03.639

02:20:47.799 --> 02:20:49.719
<v Speaker 9>Hi, good morning. Hey.

2601
02:20:50.040 --> 02:20:53.879
<v Speaker 17>That guy just reminded me about his little oak trees

2602
02:20:53.920 --> 02:20:56.280
<v Speaker 17>that are growing out of the gardens. I've been weading

2603
02:20:56.840 --> 02:21:01.120
<v Speaker 17>for a couple of years, but yesterday I started pulling

2604
02:21:01.159 --> 02:21:06.360
<v Speaker 17>him out with some fires. We get the whole route

2605
02:21:07.200 --> 02:21:10.159
<v Speaker 17>all the way down if you grab him right there

2606
02:21:10.200 --> 02:21:11.159
<v Speaker 17>at the soil.

2607
02:21:12.040 --> 02:21:13.040
<v Speaker 18>I thought i'd share that.

2608
02:21:13.159 --> 02:21:15.639
<v Speaker 9>Okay, anyway, work great for me.

2609
02:21:17.040 --> 02:21:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, that sounds like a plan. Thanks for that report.

2610
02:21:20.879 --> 02:21:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Are you pulling straight up or are you kind of

2611
02:21:22.680 --> 02:21:25.559
<v Speaker 2>pulling at an angle or what works best for you?

2612
02:21:26.879 --> 02:21:30.319
<v Speaker 17>Well, I tried to pull them straight up and and

2613
02:21:30.360 --> 02:21:32.440
<v Speaker 17>then I I kind of whiggled them a little bit

2614
02:21:32.520 --> 02:21:35.920
<v Speaker 17>sometimes if they were real tough to get out, and

2615
02:21:36.040 --> 02:21:38.200
<v Speaker 17>it just however, I could get him out. I got him,

2616
02:21:38.479 --> 02:21:41.639
<v Speaker 17>and I'm it's a lot that I have to get up,

2617
02:21:41.719 --> 02:21:42.559
<v Speaker 17>but it works.

2618
02:21:43.239 --> 02:21:43.879
<v Speaker 8>It works for me.

2619
02:21:44.479 --> 02:21:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, thank you. I appreciate that all. Hopefully

2620
02:21:50.639 --> 02:21:55.680
<v Speaker 2>he's hopefully h Rouster's still listening. All right, take care. Uh.

2621
02:21:55.719 --> 02:21:59.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's interesting with with weeds. I do a

2622
02:21:59.440 --> 02:22:01.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of him pulling of weeds and I'm shipping off

2623
02:22:01.840 --> 02:22:05.760
<v Speaker 2>a tree roots or tree suckers here. But it's just

2624
02:22:05.799 --> 02:22:09.239
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I take your good care of my lawn.

2625
02:22:10.000 --> 02:22:12.399
<v Speaker 2>By and large, I don't have a lot of wheat issues.

2626
02:22:12.479 --> 02:22:15.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's some that come in, but by and

2627
02:22:15.600 --> 02:22:17.879
<v Speaker 2>large I don't let them go to seed if at

2628
02:22:17.920 --> 02:22:21.680
<v Speaker 2>all possible, And that saves me a lot of trouble

2629
02:22:22.200 --> 02:22:24.639
<v Speaker 2>because you know, what do they say one years of

2630
02:22:24.639 --> 02:22:29.440
<v Speaker 2>weed is ten years of seed or something. So I

2631
02:22:29.520 --> 02:22:32.280
<v Speaker 2>try to do that. But anyway, I've learned that. You know,

2632
02:22:32.319 --> 02:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>some weeds have spreading root systems, like a grassy type

2633
02:22:35.239 --> 02:22:39.319
<v Speaker 2>clumping weed has a fiber spreading root system. And on those,

2634
02:22:39.360 --> 02:22:41.319
<v Speaker 2>if you grab them real load to the ground, hold

2635
02:22:41.319 --> 02:22:43.479
<v Speaker 2>on to them and kind of wiggle your hand back

2636
02:22:43.520 --> 02:22:45.559
<v Speaker 2>and forth as you pull, you'll kind of hear the

2637
02:22:45.639 --> 02:22:48.639
<v Speaker 2>individual little tiny roots ripping and tearing as you do that,

2638
02:22:49.680 --> 02:22:51.719
<v Speaker 2>and they come right out. If you grab them and

2639
02:22:51.760 --> 02:22:54.120
<v Speaker 2>try to pull, it just breaks off a lot of times.

2640
02:22:54.120 --> 02:22:56.760
<v Speaker 2>But that sideways wiggle as you pull works good. Here

2641
02:22:56.799 --> 02:22:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I am giving advice on how to pull a weed

2642
02:22:59.000 --> 02:23:02.600
<v Speaker 2>or for crying out loud anyway, what does life come to? Anyway?

2643
02:23:02.760 --> 02:23:05.840
<v Speaker 2>That works for me. Then there's roots, the weeds that

2644
02:23:05.879 --> 02:23:09.639
<v Speaker 2>have tap roots, and the fall aster, oh boy, we'll

2645
02:23:09.639 --> 02:23:12.840
<v Speaker 2>be here this fall. That one has a tap root,

2646
02:23:12.959 --> 02:23:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and so you got to get a good base pull

2647
02:23:15.479 --> 02:23:17.239
<v Speaker 2>on it and the tap root comes right out. If

2648
02:23:17.239 --> 02:23:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the soil is moist. It is amazing how much weed

2649
02:23:20.040 --> 02:23:22.280
<v Speaker 2>pulling you can do. And I've been through the yard

2650
02:23:22.360 --> 02:23:24.760
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of times with a five gallon bucket and

2651
02:23:24.840 --> 02:23:29.360
<v Speaker 2>my handy dandy kneeling bench getting weed pulling done. And

2652
02:23:29.399 --> 02:23:32.680
<v Speaker 2>so now can you pull Virginia button weed? And that

2653
02:23:32.799 --> 02:23:35.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work that way Other than getting the little buttons

2654
02:23:35.600 --> 02:23:37.920
<v Speaker 2>with the seeds out, that's about the only benefit that

2655
02:23:37.920 --> 02:23:40.920
<v Speaker 2>that does. You're not going to get the weed itself.

2656
02:23:41.280 --> 02:23:43.479
<v Speaker 2>Can you pull dollar weed over crying out loud, No?

2657
02:23:43.760 --> 02:23:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Or dichondra no, absolutely not, But a lot of weeds

2658
02:23:46.680 --> 02:23:49.280
<v Speaker 2>you can. And right now I still have some annual

2659
02:23:49.319 --> 02:23:53.280
<v Speaker 2>bluegrass going to seed, little tiny plants that have escaped somehow.

2660
02:23:53.520 --> 02:23:55.319
<v Speaker 2>You see them when they put the little seed head up.

2661
02:23:55.520 --> 02:23:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Every one of those is coming out of in my yard.

2662
02:23:57.879 --> 02:24:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I am not going to deal with that anymore. Just

2663
02:24:00.600 --> 02:24:04.120
<v Speaker 2>stay on it and get the job done. But it's

2664
02:24:04.200 --> 02:24:06.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of therapeutic for me. It's one of the things

2665
02:24:06.280 --> 02:24:08.280
<v Speaker 2>in life where you know, you work for a little bit,

2666
02:24:08.360 --> 02:24:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you stand up, you look around, you see what you've accomplished.

2667
02:24:11.280 --> 02:24:14.479
<v Speaker 2>That's therapeutic, I think. So anyway, I like that, Well,

2668
02:24:14.520 --> 02:24:16.399
<v Speaker 2>let's go out to clear like now we're going to

2669
02:24:16.440 --> 02:24:18.959
<v Speaker 2>talk to Jim. Hey, Jim, welcome to garden Line.

2670
02:24:18.639 --> 02:24:20.959
<v Speaker 1>Hey, hey, good morning. How are we doing.

2671
02:24:22.319 --> 02:24:25.479
<v Speaker 2>We're doing well? Thank you? Good good. Hey.

2672
02:24:25.840 --> 02:24:31.120
<v Speaker 19>I've got a mulberry tree fifteen foot with about a

2673
02:24:31.399 --> 02:24:35.760
<v Speaker 19>four inch pace, and I grew it from a little

2674
02:24:36.360 --> 02:24:40.239
<v Speaker 19>sprout got to be about three foot and then I

2675
02:24:40.319 --> 02:24:44.920
<v Speaker 19>transplanted it out of the pot. But any rate, every

2676
02:24:45.079 --> 02:24:50.559
<v Speaker 19>season it sprouts out beautifully, the leaves of healthy, looking

2677
02:24:50.760 --> 02:24:54.639
<v Speaker 19>nice and green. And about a month or so after that,

2678
02:24:57.520 --> 02:25:01.040
<v Speaker 19>some disease or something just hits it. All the leaves

2679
02:25:01.040 --> 02:25:05.600
<v Speaker 19>start turning brown, patchy and falling off.

2680
02:25:06.079 --> 02:25:11.719
<v Speaker 15>And it happens every season. Next season sprouts out beautifully,

2681
02:25:12.079 --> 02:25:12.920
<v Speaker 15>leaves fall off.

2682
02:25:15.280 --> 02:25:17.959
<v Speaker 2>What happens after the leaves fall off, because obviously the

2683
02:25:18.000 --> 02:25:21.600
<v Speaker 2>planet didn't die. What do you see next? Yeah?

2684
02:25:21.719 --> 02:25:26.440
<v Speaker 15>Actually, I've noticed after they all fall off, they actually

2685
02:25:26.479 --> 02:25:27.600
<v Speaker 15>start to sprout again.

2686
02:25:28.639 --> 02:25:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh. And does a second set of leaves do that?

2687
02:25:32.479 --> 02:25:32.760
<v Speaker 7>Well?

2688
02:25:32.840 --> 02:25:36.639
<v Speaker 15>I I guess they do. Maybe maybe it gets late

2689
02:25:36.680 --> 02:25:42.200
<v Speaker 15>in the season and I don't notice, but they do

2690
02:25:42.360 --> 02:25:47.760
<v Speaker 15>sprout out again. And honestly I can't remember what happens

2691
02:25:47.799 --> 02:25:50.760
<v Speaker 15>after that. I just look a frustrated to it.

2692
02:25:52.040 --> 02:25:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, that that is curious. So you can get

2693
02:25:59.000 --> 02:26:04.360
<v Speaker 2>leaf spots on mulberry leaves, that's a possibility, but that

2694
02:26:04.440 --> 02:26:08.040
<v Speaker 2>generally doesn't turn the whole leaf brown. It's strange that

2695
02:26:08.159 --> 02:26:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the whole leaf is turning brown. You know, my brain's

2696
02:26:12.600 --> 02:26:15.719
<v Speaker 2>out there searching the periphery of possibilities here, and I'm

2697
02:26:15.760 --> 02:26:18.559
<v Speaker 2>thinking things like, well, does it coincide with when you

2698
02:26:18.600 --> 02:26:21.280
<v Speaker 2>put a certain kind of herbicide out on your lawn? Maybe?

2699
02:26:21.440 --> 02:26:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Or you know what else can we connect this too

2700
02:26:25.879 --> 02:26:27.879
<v Speaker 2>to try to find an answer. If it were a

2701
02:26:27.959 --> 02:26:30.920
<v Speaker 2>root rot, the plant wouldn't come back. If it didn't

2702
02:26:31.040 --> 02:26:32.760
<v Speaker 2>enough to knock all the leaves off, it would kill

2703
02:26:32.840 --> 02:26:35.399
<v Speaker 2>the plant. So it's not a root rot. I don't

2704
02:26:35.399 --> 02:26:37.799
<v Speaker 2>think it's a folio disease. If the whole leaf is

2705
02:26:37.799 --> 02:26:40.120
<v Speaker 2>turning brown, if you get in brown spots, maybe a

2706
02:26:40.159 --> 02:26:44.280
<v Speaker 2>bacteria or fungus can do that. Yeah, that's weird. I

2707
02:26:44.319 --> 02:26:44.719
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

2708
02:26:45.879 --> 02:26:49.760
<v Speaker 15>It seems to be spotty in the beginning of the process,

2709
02:26:49.920 --> 02:26:53.719
<v Speaker 15>but eventually it just all turns brown eventually.

2710
02:26:54.600 --> 02:26:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, maybe send me some pictures of it when

2711
02:26:58.799 --> 02:27:01.719
<v Speaker 2>you see it happen, and let me look at Maybe

2712
02:27:01.760 --> 02:27:04.159
<v Speaker 2>if I look at it, I can go oh, I

2713
02:27:04.239 --> 02:27:06.959
<v Speaker 2>know what that is. You know, but right now I'm

2714
02:27:07.079 --> 02:27:11.399
<v Speaker 2>drawing other than my kind of example there, I'm kind

2715
02:27:11.399 --> 02:27:14.680
<v Speaker 2>of drawing a blank on it. So but I'm going

2716
02:27:14.680 --> 02:27:18.360
<v Speaker 2>to put you on hold and Alejandro give you an

2717
02:27:18.440 --> 02:27:21.040
<v Speaker 2>email so you can send me something. You hear me

2718
02:27:21.079 --> 02:27:24.360
<v Speaker 2>talk about microlife products all the time because they work,

2719
02:27:24.719 --> 02:27:27.120
<v Speaker 2>They absolutely work. I want to talk about a couple

2720
02:27:27.360 --> 02:27:31.079
<v Speaker 2>of kind of unique products on the market by Microlife.

2721
02:27:31.159 --> 02:27:34.639
<v Speaker 2>One of them is called bio inoculant, And what it

2722
02:27:34.760 --> 02:27:38.360
<v Speaker 2>is is it's an organic bioinoculant. It's got sixty three

2723
02:27:38.680 --> 02:27:44.159
<v Speaker 2>different strains of beneficial microbes, a lot of different strains

2724
02:27:44.159 --> 02:27:46.959
<v Speaker 2>in the basillas group. And I'm looking at the names

2725
02:27:46.959 --> 02:27:49.360
<v Speaker 2>of all these microbes that are in it. It's like, oh,

2726
02:27:49.360 --> 02:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>you can buy that as a fungicide. Oh, you can

2727
02:27:51.479 --> 02:27:54.479
<v Speaker 2>buy that as you know what I'm saying. And they're

2728
02:27:55.000 --> 02:27:58.120
<v Speaker 2>good for plants and they're part of nature. And it's

2729
02:27:58.159 --> 02:28:01.520
<v Speaker 2>micro grow bioinoculating by a big bag. Or you can

2730
02:28:01.559 --> 02:28:04.159
<v Speaker 2>buy it buy the little canisters, uh Clark canisters with

2731
02:28:04.200 --> 02:28:07.479
<v Speaker 2>a screw top lid that works. Here's another one, micro

2732
02:28:07.639 --> 02:28:12.719
<v Speaker 2>grow liquid AF. Now liquid AF specifically has eight strains

2733
02:28:13.280 --> 02:28:19.440
<v Speaker 2>of extremely dominating beneficial microbes that we know fight disease issues.

2734
02:28:19.479 --> 02:28:21.680
<v Speaker 2>It's not a fungicide, but it works. It's safe, it

2735
02:28:21.719 --> 02:28:24.959
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have an as an adverse effect on beneficial microbes.

2736
02:28:24.959 --> 02:28:27.959
<v Speaker 2>These are microbes from the soil. These are microbes from nature,

2737
02:28:28.479 --> 02:28:31.280
<v Speaker 2>but they've been identified, they've proven to do this or

2738
02:28:31.319 --> 02:28:33.799
<v Speaker 2>to do that, to be beneficial. They put them all

2739
02:28:33.840 --> 02:28:36.360
<v Speaker 2>together in this gallon jaw a bottle or I believe

2740
02:28:36.399 --> 02:28:39.159
<v Speaker 2>it comes in a court to micro grow liquid af.

2741
02:28:39.159 --> 02:28:41.399
<v Speaker 2>It's a maroon kind of label as is by the way,

2742
02:28:41.440 --> 02:28:46.239
<v Speaker 2>the micro grow bioanoculant granule. Two more products from microlife

2743
02:28:46.399 --> 02:28:48.719
<v Speaker 2>that do work. We're going to go to a break here,

2744
02:28:48.799 --> 02:28:50.799
<v Speaker 2>David in Houston. Hang on, you're gonna be our very

2745
02:28:50.840 --> 02:28:54.360
<v Speaker 2>first step when we come back, a right. Nice enough

2746
02:28:54.360 --> 02:28:56.399
<v Speaker 2>of that, this isn't a music show, although we do

2758
02:29:35.479 --> 02:29:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, if you want to add to the

2759
02:29:36.920 --> 02:29:38.719
<v Speaker 2>value of your home, and I've done some of the

2760
02:29:38.799 --> 02:29:42.479
<v Speaker 2>do it yourself for kinds of things myself, it's not

2761
02:29:42.719 --> 02:29:45.399
<v Speaker 2>the same. I mean when you get professionals in with

2762
02:29:45.559 --> 02:29:48.360
<v Speaker 2>design and the ideas that they have that might not

2763
02:29:48.399 --> 02:29:51.440
<v Speaker 2>have occurred to me, and you, oh my gosh, it

2764
02:29:52.159 --> 02:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>adds value, incredible value to your home and also makes

2765
02:29:55.719 --> 02:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>your house sell if you're selling a house, because people

2766
02:29:58.239 --> 02:29:59.959
<v Speaker 2>walk in and they just go, I want this house.

2767
02:30:00.280 --> 02:30:03.440

2773
02:30:24.000 --> 02:30:27.600
<v Speaker 2>let's head out to David Now in Houston. Hey, David,

2774
02:30:27.639 --> 02:30:28.600
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden Line.

2775
02:30:30.239 --> 02:30:32.719
<v Speaker 8>Good morning. How are you today?

2776
02:30:33.159 --> 02:30:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Doing well? Thank you?

2777
02:30:35.440 --> 02:30:37.360
<v Speaker 8>I have a oak tree, and I'm not sure the

2778
02:30:37.399 --> 02:30:41.239
<v Speaker 8>variety that was growing in my backyard and a couple

2779
02:30:41.319 --> 02:30:46.520
<v Speaker 8>of years ago I had to transplanted to the front yard. Okay,

2780
02:30:46.639 --> 02:30:49.479
<v Speaker 8>the tree when I transplanted, it was about three foot tall.

2781
02:30:49.559 --> 02:30:55.639
<v Speaker 8>Now it's at least six foot. Last season we had

2782
02:30:55.879 --> 02:30:59.520
<v Speaker 8>branches from halfway up to the top of the tree.

2783
02:31:00.479 --> 02:31:04.040
<v Speaker 8>And this spring, after the winter, I've got leaves and

2784
02:31:04.040 --> 02:31:06.520
<v Speaker 8>branches growing from almost ground level all the way to

2785
02:31:06.559 --> 02:31:10.319
<v Speaker 8>the top. So what caused that? And Quinn, can I

2786
02:31:10.360 --> 02:31:14.680
<v Speaker 8>trim those extra branches and leaves or should I trim them?

2787
02:31:15.719 --> 02:31:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Is the original one? Is it dying? Or is it

2788
02:31:19.399 --> 02:31:20.840
<v Speaker 2>still as healthy as it ever was?

2789
02:31:21.440 --> 02:31:23.120
<v Speaker 8>Oh, it looks as healthy as it ever was. The

2790
02:31:23.479 --> 02:31:26.600
<v Speaker 8>all the leaves or vibrant green from the from the

2791
02:31:26.600 --> 02:31:27.719
<v Speaker 8>base all the way to the top.

2792
02:31:29.159 --> 02:31:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, I would I would leave the original one,

2793
02:31:31.440 --> 02:31:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the tall one, the one that was doing real well

2794
02:31:33.639 --> 02:31:35.280
<v Speaker 2>for you, and I'd cut all the rest of them

2795
02:31:35.319 --> 02:31:37.520
<v Speaker 2>back as close to where they attached as you can.

2796
02:31:38.600 --> 02:31:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes someone will hit a long tree, young tree like

2797
02:31:42.639 --> 02:31:45.680
<v Speaker 2>that with a weed eater or a lawnmower or something

2798
02:31:45.719 --> 02:31:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and damage the bark and it and that is almost

2799
02:31:50.159 --> 02:31:54.000
<v Speaker 2>like a semi pruning of it, and then it's cutting

2800
02:31:54.040 --> 02:31:56.239
<v Speaker 2>off tissues and so the tree will rea sprout from

2801
02:31:56.239 --> 02:31:58.840
<v Speaker 2>the base as if you just cut it off. But uh,

2802
02:31:58.879 --> 02:32:00.760
<v Speaker 2>and I just want to make sure we still got

2803
02:32:00.760 --> 02:32:02.479
<v Speaker 2>a good trunk there sounds like we do, so I

2804
02:32:02.559 --> 02:32:05.079
<v Speaker 2>take all the others off. I don't know what caused it,

2805
02:32:05.120 --> 02:32:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was a nick or something from machinery, but uh,

2806
02:32:09.440 --> 02:32:10.879
<v Speaker 2>you want to cut all those off and just have

2807
02:32:10.920 --> 02:32:14.200
<v Speaker 2>a single trunk coming up. And then if you can

2808
02:32:14.239 --> 02:32:17.719
<v Speaker 2>give it a multched area, David, that is even better.

2809
02:32:17.760 --> 02:32:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Trees hate grass. They grow in forests with leaves on

2810
02:32:20.799 --> 02:32:24.600
<v Speaker 2>the ground. So the bigger the multch bed, the happier

2811
02:32:24.639 --> 02:32:26.879
<v Speaker 2>and faster that tree is going to grow.

2812
02:32:27.600 --> 02:32:29.680
<v Speaker 8>Okay, do I need to put up the grass around

2813
02:32:29.719 --> 02:32:31.440
<v Speaker 8>the base of the tree before I put the molts down?

2814
02:32:31.520 --> 02:32:33.040
<v Speaker 8>Or just put the moltch down right on top?

2815
02:32:34.360 --> 02:32:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Is it Saint Augustine?

2816
02:32:36.399 --> 02:32:39.000
<v Speaker 8>I believe so, yeah, Yeah.

2817
02:32:39.559 --> 02:32:43.159
<v Speaker 2>You can pull it. Yeah, I'd pull it out about

2818
02:32:43.159 --> 02:32:46.079
<v Speaker 2>a foot away from the trunk because you don't want

2819
02:32:46.079 --> 02:32:48.319
<v Speaker 2>to palm. You don't want to palm multch against the trunk.

2820
02:32:48.360 --> 02:32:49.719
<v Speaker 2>But if you put it out of foot the way,

2821
02:32:50.000 --> 02:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>mow it or weed eat it, weed eat it down

2822
02:32:52.120 --> 02:32:55.000
<v Speaker 2>real low, real low, and then you just you can

2823
02:32:55.000 --> 02:32:56.799
<v Speaker 2>cover it with a good thick mulch and if it

2824
02:32:56.840 --> 02:32:59.559
<v Speaker 2>blocks light out, Saint Augustine's not going to come through it.

2825
02:33:00.319 --> 02:33:02.520
<v Speaker 2>But if you know, if you have any doubts, you

2826
02:33:02.520 --> 02:33:04.639
<v Speaker 2>can just you know, get that grass out in the

2827
02:33:04.680 --> 02:33:08.319
<v Speaker 2>bigger area. But but that mult bed, that forest floor

2828
02:33:08.440 --> 02:33:12.399
<v Speaker 2>environment of decomposing launch is tree heaven, tree heaven. So

2829
02:33:12.479 --> 02:33:15.079
<v Speaker 2>that's the best thing you can do for the tree. Yeah.

2830
02:33:15.239 --> 02:33:19.600
<v Speaker 8>Now, when pruning those those small branches and leaves from

2831
02:33:19.639 --> 02:33:22.120
<v Speaker 8>the base to about half way up, should I do

2832
02:33:22.159 --> 02:33:24.520
<v Speaker 8>that now or just wait until the tree goes dormant

2833
02:33:24.559 --> 02:33:24.920
<v Speaker 8>in the winter.

2834
02:33:26.319 --> 02:33:28.159
<v Speaker 2>I would do it now. I would get rid of

2835
02:33:28.239 --> 02:33:30.360
<v Speaker 2>them because you want all the growth to go in

2836
02:33:30.440 --> 02:33:35.440
<v Speaker 2>what's left so the sinner you get to walk. Yeah,

2837
02:33:35.479 --> 02:33:37.520
<v Speaker 2>and wherever you have a shoot coming up, there's gonna

2838
02:33:37.520 --> 02:33:40.760
<v Speaker 2>be little dormant buds around the base of it. That's

2839
02:33:40.799 --> 02:33:42.799
<v Speaker 2>that's how trees we sprout. You know, you got just

2840
02:33:42.879 --> 02:33:44.520
<v Speaker 2>bark on the side of a tree and suddenly a

2841
02:33:44.559 --> 02:33:46.399
<v Speaker 2>branch comes out. Well, that was a bud. That's a

2842
02:33:46.440 --> 02:33:49.120
<v Speaker 2>sleep down underneath there. And so you want to cut

2843
02:33:49.120 --> 02:33:51.600
<v Speaker 2>those out at the very base, not leaving even an

2844
02:33:51.760 --> 02:33:53.680
<v Speaker 2>inch stub. I mean, cut them out at the base

2845
02:33:54.239 --> 02:33:57.520
<v Speaker 2>to minimize the re sprouting. There's a product called sucker

2846
02:33:58.000 --> 02:34:01.760
<v Speaker 2>stopper that is a plant tormone that you apply and

2847
02:34:01.799 --> 02:34:04.479
<v Speaker 2>it tells the plant not to regrow. Shoot right there,

2848
02:34:04.639 --> 02:34:07.239
<v Speaker 2>right then? Okay, So if you get too much of

2849
02:34:07.280 --> 02:34:09.600
<v Speaker 2>a problem with suckering, you may want to try sprain

2850
02:34:09.760 --> 02:34:11.440
<v Speaker 2>some of that on it, but I don't think it'll

2851
02:34:11.440 --> 02:34:14.319
<v Speaker 2>be necessary. I think if you just keep them removed,

2852
02:34:14.319 --> 02:34:16.840
<v Speaker 2>don't let them come up, I think you'd be all right.

2853
02:34:17.639 --> 02:34:20.040
<v Speaker 8>Okay, all right, we listen. I appreciate your help.

2854
02:34:20.159 --> 02:34:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, sir. Yeah, thanks for pasionally waiting. Good to

2855
02:34:23.799 --> 02:34:25.280
<v Speaker 2>talk to you today. I hope you have a good

2856
02:34:25.799 --> 02:34:28.879
<v Speaker 2>rest of your weekend. All right, all right, folks, we're

2857
02:34:28.920 --> 02:34:31.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna now, let's see, I've got one more call where

2858
02:34:31.840 --> 02:34:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm on. Yeah, I've got time for a call here.

2859
02:34:34.600 --> 02:34:36.159
<v Speaker 2>We're going to take one more call here in just

2860
02:34:36.319 --> 02:34:41.120
<v Speaker 2>one second. And in the meantime, just a little few

2861
02:34:41.159 --> 02:34:45.040
<v Speaker 2>tips out in the lawn, landscaping garden. Always maintain a

2862
02:34:45.040 --> 02:34:48.399
<v Speaker 2>good thick layer of mulch. Never tear the old mulch out,

2863
02:34:49.200 --> 02:34:52.879
<v Speaker 2>and you don't have to replace multch again, you know,

2864
02:34:53.040 --> 02:34:56.479
<v Speaker 2>as like I was saying about putting soil earlier. In nature,

2865
02:34:56.680 --> 02:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>nobody replaces mulch. The design is that leaves fall on

2866
02:35:01.000 --> 02:35:04.319
<v Speaker 2>top of old rotting leaves and it just gets better

2867
02:35:04.360 --> 02:35:07.920
<v Speaker 2>and better. So when you need to add mulch ad maults,

2868
02:35:08.120 --> 02:35:10.799
<v Speaker 2>don't take the olmulch out. It's just getting good. I mean,

2869
02:35:10.840 --> 02:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>it's it's gonna become part of the soil at that time.

2870
02:35:13.440 --> 02:35:16.200
<v Speaker 2>That's how nature does it, so no need to take

2871
02:35:16.200 --> 02:35:19.159
<v Speaker 2>it away, Just add mulch. Is it. If the mulch

2872
02:35:19.239 --> 02:35:21.719
<v Speaker 2>is chunky, you gotta make it thicker because you're trying

2873
02:35:21.719 --> 02:35:24.079
<v Speaker 2>to block all the sunlight from getting to the soil.

2874
02:35:24.559 --> 02:35:27.600
<v Speaker 2>The finer texture to mulch is the less deep it

2875
02:35:27.680 --> 02:35:30.559
<v Speaker 2>needs to be to block the sunlight from the soil.

2876
02:35:30.680 --> 02:35:32.399
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not going to give you. I mean, the

2877
02:35:32.440 --> 02:35:34.840
<v Speaker 2>real time is about three inches for mulch, but I've

2878
02:35:34.879 --> 02:35:36.879
<v Speaker 2>seen times rowing a little deeper in that, and I've

2879
02:35:36.879 --> 02:35:39.639
<v Speaker 2>had times where I didn't have to go that deep. Anyway,

2880
02:35:40.159 --> 02:35:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Lake Palestine now and we're going to

2881
02:35:42.719 --> 02:35:47.079
<v Speaker 2>talk to Nancy. Hey Nancy, calling from far away.

2882
02:35:45.959 --> 02:35:49.559
<v Speaker 18>Good morning, how you doing today?

2883
02:35:50.719 --> 02:35:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm well, thank you, good great.

2884
02:35:53.239 --> 02:35:58.959
<v Speaker 18>I've seen cheese and pictures. I've got able to see them.

2885
02:36:00.239 --> 02:36:01.200
<v Speaker 2>When did you send those?

2886
02:36:02.360 --> 02:36:04.520
<v Speaker 18>About a minute minute and a half ago?

2887
02:36:05.559 --> 02:36:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, they haven't come through yet. Maybe you send

2888
02:36:07.639 --> 02:36:11.159
<v Speaker 2>them to the wrong place. I'll wait and see, maybe

2889
02:36:11.159 --> 02:36:13.680
<v Speaker 2>they'll pop up. Let's let's go ahead with the call.

2890
02:36:13.840 --> 02:36:16.879
<v Speaker 2>And because we're not real kind of short on time,

2891
02:36:17.040 --> 02:36:19.520
<v Speaker 2>so let's see if I can help you without the pictures.

2892
02:36:20.360 --> 02:36:25.280
<v Speaker 18>Okay, okay? Is Isaiah's I am using them? The Dina

2893
02:36:25.360 --> 02:36:29.479
<v Speaker 18>partucts and Isaiah and they have gone crazy. They lose

2894
02:36:29.840 --> 02:36:33.520
<v Speaker 18>lose their way, but they look like just really sprawly

2895
02:36:34.520 --> 02:36:39.079
<v Speaker 18>goofy bush because they've just gone crazy. Should I should

2896
02:36:39.079 --> 02:36:40.079
<v Speaker 18>I cut those back?

2897
02:36:40.200 --> 02:36:40.520
<v Speaker 8>Now?

2898
02:36:41.840 --> 02:36:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Are they are they in a lot of shade, a

2899
02:36:46.120 --> 02:36:48.280
<v Speaker 2>deep shade or is it pretty bright shade?

2900
02:36:50.840 --> 02:36:54.239
<v Speaker 18>B they have done and they break all right.

2901
02:36:55.040 --> 02:36:59.600
<v Speaker 2>So if if you've got lanky, gangly shoots, now's the

2902
02:36:59.639 --> 02:37:01.319
<v Speaker 2>time to cut them off. And you don't want to

2903
02:37:01.319 --> 02:37:03.799
<v Speaker 2>do any more cutting. Once we get past about June,

2904
02:37:04.280 --> 02:37:08.520
<v Speaker 2>because zella needs time to regrow shoots and set flower

2905
02:37:08.559 --> 02:37:11.200
<v Speaker 2>buds on it in late summer and fall for next year.

2906
02:37:11.360 --> 02:37:14.000
<v Speaker 2>So you can do printing to shape or to bring

2907
02:37:14.079 --> 02:37:16.639
<v Speaker 2>gangly shoots and bounds now if you.

2908
02:37:16.840 --> 02:37:20.920
<v Speaker 18>Okay, great, great. And the other thing was only tomatoes

2909
02:37:21.840 --> 02:37:26.239
<v Speaker 18>since there they're big now, but they've got the very top.

2910
02:37:26.879 --> 02:37:31.600
<v Speaker 18>Something is eating the tops hot. I had a friend

2911
02:37:31.639 --> 02:37:35.760
<v Speaker 18>so that it might be a cutworm. I guess this's

2912
02:37:35.799 --> 02:37:37.360
<v Speaker 18>where that picture would help a lot.

2913
02:37:38.719 --> 02:37:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, a cutworm isn't going to feed up there. What

2914
02:37:41.440 --> 02:37:45.360
<v Speaker 2>that may be is something called a tomato hornworm. And

2915
02:37:45.680 --> 02:37:49.079
<v Speaker 2>they start as little tiny caterpillars, as all do caterpillars do,

2916
02:37:49.440 --> 02:37:51.719
<v Speaker 2>but they can grow up into something the size of

2917
02:37:51.760 --> 02:37:55.159
<v Speaker 2>your little finger. I mean, they get bad, and at

2918
02:37:55.159 --> 02:37:58.600
<v Speaker 2>that stage you can see them. They are the color

2919
02:37:58.680 --> 02:38:01.799
<v Speaker 2>of the foliage. So when you see areas of a

2920
02:38:01.840 --> 02:38:04.920
<v Speaker 2>plant without any folk with foliage missing, what you need

2921
02:38:04.959 --> 02:38:08.440
<v Speaker 2>to do is just go in and look for that cutworm.

2922
02:38:08.559 --> 02:38:10.479
<v Speaker 2>The music's gonna start playing. We're gonna be out of

2923
02:38:10.520 --> 02:38:14.000
<v Speaker 2>time today, but I would do a very careful search

2924
02:38:14.079 --> 02:38:17.520
<v Speaker 2>wherever foliage is missing and find that booker and uh,

2925
02:38:17.600 --> 02:38:19.520
<v Speaker 2>and there's no need to spray for him, you just

2926
02:38:19.520 --> 02:38:20.120
<v Speaker 2>pick them off.

2927
02:38:21.559 --> 02:38:23.360
<v Speaker 18>Oh, thanks so much.

2928
02:38:23.680 --> 02:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Have a great week, all right, Nancy, you too. Thanks

2929
02:38:27.040 --> 02:38:29.840
