<v Speaker 1>Welcome to kt r H Garden Line with skimp Richard's shoes.

2
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Trim.

3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 3>Just watch him as many spain not a sign.

4
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 4>Sun.

5
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Hey, good morning, I'm hearing myself echo in my headphones.

6
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 2>That's weird. Well, I'm glad to be here this morning,

7
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and then I hope you are too. We are. We've

8
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of things to talk about, as we

9
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>do every Saturday and Sunday. You know, the gardening world

10
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>just keeps going on every time we turn to a

11
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 2>new week. There's new things. We've got diseases that are

12
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>coming and going. We've got things to plant, things to prune,

13
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>things to take care of, and we're going to talk

14
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>about all those things today. If you've got a question

15
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>that you would like to ask about, why not give

16
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>me a call seven to one three two one two

17
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 2>k t r H. Seven one three two to one

18
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>two k t r H. All right, Well, I wanted

19
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>to talk this morning first of all about I'm going

20
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 2>to be at Nature's Way Resources up near Conroe, up

21
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>on I forty five. I'll be there today from eleven

22
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>thirty to one thirty, so basically over the noon hour.

23
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 2>They're having their big Fall festival. This is a shindig.

24
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I tell you, the Fall Festival is your opportunity to

25
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>come out have some fun. They're going to have food,

26
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have music, they're going to have a

27
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 2>number of different people out there. Let's see. Like I said,

28
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll be there from eleven thirty to one thirty. The

29
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>whole event goes from nine am to two pm, so

30
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 2>if we can to it. We've got to do something

31
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>about this echo in my ear. It's kind of like

32
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>having an annoying sibling that every time you say something,

33
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>they repeat you until it drives you crazy. Have you

34
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>ever have you ever had had one of one of

35
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>those things? Well, anyway, I'll be out at the event,

36
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>and I hope you'll come out to see me. We're

37
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>going to be giving away some cool stuff. By the way,

38
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>the folks at Nature's Way are providing a bag of

39
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>their fine textured leap mol compost every half hour while

40
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm there, so we'll giving weigh four bags of that.

41
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>They're also going to be giving away a gift certificate

42
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>that is worth one hundred and fifty bucks, so that

43
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>alone is worth as they say, the price of admission.

44
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>If you'll come on out anyway, put that on your

45
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>calendar to day eleven thirty two one thirty. It's time

46
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>to make sure you get your fall fertilization on the

47
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.159
<v Speaker 2>lawns this and here's here's why I say that. Now,

48
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 2>if you look at my schedule at gardeningwith Skip dot com,

49
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you will see that October is a big month for

50
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>doing that. The sooner you do it, probably the better

51
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>off you are. And here's why. It gives it a

52
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 2>chance to get down in the soil and up in

53
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the roots of the plant. Now, it's still warm outside,

54
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>but when we start cooling off, the grass root nutrient

55
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>uptake slows down at the roots. System just kind of

56
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>starts to slow down because it's cool and our warm

57
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>season grasses don't do a lot of growth in the

58
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>cool season. So if you get it down now, you

59
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>have more opportunity for those nutrients to move into the plant.

60
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 5>Now.

61
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Nitrofoss has a fertilizer called the Fall Special and it's

62
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>part of their Texas three step system. The Fall Special

63
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 2>has the high level higher level of potassium, which is

64
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>critical for good cold hardedness. If you're trying to make

65
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>your lawn cold hardy, what you do is you give

66
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit of nitrogen, not a lot like summertime,

67
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and you give it a little bit of potassium and

68
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 2>those together go into the grass plant and create the

69
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>essentially ana freeze in the plant and the form of carbohydrates.

70
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>So that's part of their three stuff. The other two

71
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 2>parts are nitrofoss barricade which prevents weed seeds, and again

72
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 2>do it now. In fact, these last two are even

73
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>more important to do asap. The nitrofoss barricade prevents weed

74
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 2>seeds from germinating. Now. I don't see a cold front

75
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 2>in the near future, but one is coming, and when

76
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>it hits and we get some cool weather, some rain,

77
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 2>cool season, weeds are going to sprout in your lawn.

78
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Prevent them by having barricade down and watered in ahead

79
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>of that. If you ain' to the weed drout and

80
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>growing a pre emergent is not going to be helpful

81
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 2>because it's a pre emergent meaning before they come up.

82
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>So get that down now. The third one also important

83
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 2>to do soon. Nitropuss eagle turf fungicide. This is a

84
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 2>systemic product. You put it down, the grass takes it up,

85
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 2>soaks it in, takes it up and the fungicide itself

86
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 2>makes that grass resistant to a disease attack by fighting

87
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>any disease it tries to attack. And the diseases fall

88
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>are the large patch, the big brown circles. We call

89
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>it brown patch. It's hard to change that name. The

90
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>new name's large patch. But either way it prevents that.

91
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 2>If you wait till circles up here, it's late. It's

92
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>too late to stop that brown area. You have to

93
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>wait till spring for that brown area to grow back

94
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>in again. So get it done now. Nitrophuss three step

95
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Fall Special Barricade and Eagle Turf fungicide. You're going to

96
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>find it at Court Hardware in Stafford, katy Is Heart

97
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 2>where has it, Plants and things in Brenham Growers Outlet

98
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>up in Willis or all places you can get the

99
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Texas three step. So don't forget that. Don't forget that.

100
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned being up at Nature's Way Resources. You know

101
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Nature's Way still has their fungal compost sale on Fridays

102
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>going on. You head up on a Friday and it's

103
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 2>called Fungal Friday at Nature's Way twenty percent off their

104
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>fungal composts. Fungo compost is good for compost top dressing.

105
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Fungo compost is good for adding to the soil. It

106
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 2>is a high quality compost. They screen it down to

107
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 2>a good particle size, so you can put it over

108
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 2>your lawn and have it fallen in the little holes

109
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 2>for narration or just nestle in around the grass runners.

110
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's just a good thing to do for your

111
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 2>lawn for winter time. I wouldn't say the top dressing

112
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>gets rid of all weed seed sprouting, but it helps

113
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 2>because every time you shade the lawn a little a

114
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.480
<v Speaker 2>little more, you make it more difficult for weed seeds

115
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to get the light they need to germinate and succeed.

116
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 2>And so in addition to the fact that it feeds

117
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 2>protects the soil, it also is going to enhance the

118
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>biological activity in that area. And we know biological activity

119
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>is critical if we want to have success with anything.

120
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>That we are trying to echo is back. So I'm

121
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.399
<v Speaker 2>going to turn. I'm going to make that go away

122
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.399
<v Speaker 2>there where it won't bother me. All right, folks, welcome

123
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 2>back to Garden Line. We are glad to have you

124
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>with us today, looking forward to talking to you. Give

125
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 2>us a call seven to one, three two one two

126
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight seventy four seven one three two one two ktrh.

127
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>That's another week you can go about it. Uh Intented

128
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Gardens Done in Richmond is stocked up with all kinds

129
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.480
<v Speaker 2>of cool stuff. I was I was just checking them

130
00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>out and they have the multicolored have you seen those?

131
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.279
<v Speaker 2>It's like a big pot. Well it comes in they

132
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>have three different sizes, I believe, But anyway, it's a

133
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>pot and it's got three different moms all planted together.

134
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 2>So when you look at it and it hadn't bloomed yet,

135
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>you just have those buds. It just looks like a

136
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>bunch of buds everywhere, and all of a sudden it

137
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 2>starts blooming and you've got you know, some pinks and

138
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>orange or white or yellow, whatever the colors are in

139
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 2>that particular pot. It is gorgeous. I mean, these are

140
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>showstopper beautiful, really really nice. They also wanted to mention,

141
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>by the way, today they're going to be having a

142
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>program on culinary herbs, using cooking, growing and using culinary herbs,

143
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 2>and that's kind of cool. You know, here comes Halloween,

144
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Thanksgiving and Christmas, all the holidays. You're doing

145
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>any kind of cooking. This would be a really really

146
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 2>cool thing to go to and learn about. They are

147
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.440
<v Speaker 2>stocked up again on houseplants and we are entering I

148
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>call it houseplant season because you know, as you spend

149
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>more time in the house, you have time to tend

150
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>those plants. And I don't think we have enough houseplants

151
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 2>in our homes. I mean that there were many years

152
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>where I just had a houseplant or two just because

153
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to have a houseplant. And I've gotten into

154
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 2>it so much now that some of our areas look

155
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 2>like little mini jungles because there's so many different kinds

156
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 2>of plants in there. But I'm telling you, it is

157
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>bringing nature inside it, just having that presence of something

158
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>that's not so sterile as just you know, furniture and

159
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>things like that. Having life in the room is really

160
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>cool anyway. China Gardens always has good stuff going on,

161
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 2>always has good things. So if you need any fall color,

162
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 2>they've got it. Ornamental cabbage and kale and dusty miller

163
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and alyssam and petunias and dianthus and snap dragons and

164
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 2>of course moms and crotons, crotons, the color of fall.

165
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>All the things you need for that while you're there

166
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 2>or when you go take the kids and let them

167
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>see their pumpkin house. It's really cool too. And guess

168
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 2>what's arriving. I believe it's arriving today. There are pansies

169
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.759
<v Speaker 2>and Viola's for the cool season color as well. So anyway,

170
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 2>check them out and Jenny Gardens. They're on the Katie

171
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Folscher side of Rechmond on FM three point fifty nine.

172
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Katie Folscher FM three fifty nine. While are you there,

173
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you can pick up the fertilizers you hear me talk about.

174
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>You can pick up soil products that you hear me

175
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.559
<v Speaker 2>talk about as well. And remember, don't go home with

176
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>plants without going home with the brown stuff that goes

177
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 2>in the ground that makes those plants happy. I'm going

178
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to head out to the phones now and talk to

179
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Almanda and Richmond. Hello Almanda, welcome to garden Line.

180
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 5>Hi.

181
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 6>My question is I bought some huge moms for my

182
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 6>wife that my mother in law take care. Well, she's

183
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 6>in out of town and they're looks like they're drying out,

184
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 6>and so it wants me to take them back because

185
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.200
<v Speaker 6>he said they're drying out. But I don't know if

186
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.279
<v Speaker 6>I take something like that, and how do you take

187
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 6>care of that?

188
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Probably probably not that that's kind of a it

189
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 2>looked good when you got it, and if you know,

190
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 2>if you don't keep it going, then.

191
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 6>That to talk to him, that guy. I've just started

192
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 6>watering them every day and it's only been a week

193
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 6>since I've had them.

194
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, all right, Well I'll leave that between you

195
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and where you got them. Moms I find to be

196
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>a little tricky. We have a big mum in front

197
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>of the house, and watering it once a day is

198
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 2>not enough. It needs needs more than that, especially if

199
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>it's in quite a bit of sun, which mums like

200
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to be in some sun. So we put a big

201
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 2>old tray underneath that that I can fill with water

202
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>and it wakes it up. And if I see that

203
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 2>tray empty, I know to fill it up again. Just

204
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 2>keep water in that tray all the time. That's helped

205
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 2>me not overwater. The other thing with mums is you

206
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>don't want to top water them.

207
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

208
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 2>They the new mums have been pinched and bread to

209
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 2>form really tight mounds, which is gorgeous, but when you

210
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>put water on there, it just is this wet rots

211
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and things like that start. And I last year had

212
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a whole section of mum that just started rotting out

213
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>because I was top watering it. I know better than that,

214
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 2>are you there? I believe we lost him? All right,

215
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Well that's all right. Well anyway, those of you who

216
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.039
<v Speaker 2>are getting moms, Okay, if you didn't, if you weren't

217
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>quite listening on that one, just here it is in

218
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>a nutshell. Keep your mums adequately moist. And that can

219
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.600
<v Speaker 2>take quite a bit of water, especially if they're in

220
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:49.399
<v Speaker 2>the sun and there, because they packed those mums into

221
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 2>that pot and it doesn't take long to dry out.

222
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't water them from the top. If you've got a

223
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 2>little watering device, put the spigott down underneath the foliage

224
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>and water the soil rather than drenching the top. And

225
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.440
<v Speaker 2>my other suggestion is if you can put a tray

226
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 2>under it, it makes it a little more easy. I

227
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>get busy and I'm gone for a day or something,

228
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>or maybe a day and a half, and I come

229
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.759
<v Speaker 2>back and ugh, it doesn't do well in that, you know,

230
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>without the regular watering. So I put a tray in

231
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>her mind, and always keep about an inch or so

232
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.799
<v Speaker 2>of water done in the bottom and that'll wake up

233
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 2>in there and it's kind of like your rescue just

234
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in case you forget all right anyway, Secrets to Success

235
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 2>with Moms Nelson. Plant food has an outstanding fall fertilizer

236
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 2>and they call it carbo load. Now you're thinking about

237
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.080
<v Speaker 2>why would you call it carbo load. It's a fertile

238
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:49.759
<v Speaker 2>it because what makes grass winter hardy is carbohydrates, and

239
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>it takes nutrients and sunlight to do that, especially the potassium.

240
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.559
<v Speaker 2>When we go into the fall, we lower our nitrogen

241
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 2>and raise our potassium, and that is what carble load is.

242
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>The other thing that does is the carbohydrates store over winter,

243
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.039
<v Speaker 2>not only giving cold heartiness, but helping it come out

244
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.919
<v Speaker 2>in the spring. That's what carbo load does. Now, forty

245
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.519
<v Speaker 2>pound bags is going to cover five thousand square feet.

246
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>When you put it down, you have to water it

247
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 2>in because carbo load also contains a pre emergent. So

248
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>if you use carbo load with its pre emergent that

249
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 2>is in it, you don't also need to use a

250
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 2>different per emergen that it is its own. So I've

251
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.120
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of questions about that. Well, if I

252
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 2>do that also, no one pre emergent choose your pre emergent.

253
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Use that carbo load provides a preventative surface barrier that

254
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.159
<v Speaker 2>prevents weed seeds from coming through in the cool season,

255
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.639
<v Speaker 2>and it'll lasts a pretty good while in there, but

256
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>you got to water it in to do that. You

257
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.279
<v Speaker 2>want to water it in to get the fertilizer nutrients

258
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in as well, but also you definitely want to walk

259
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>in to make sure and get that pre emergent in

260
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 2>the surface of the salt where it can do its work.

261
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Very important to remember, which reminds me we just need

262
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.120
<v Speaker 2>to read the label, right, isn't it important to read

263
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the label? I find that so many folks grab a

264
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:26.559
<v Speaker 2>product and it's no fun reading the label. You know that.

265
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 2>It's like I know how to use this, and they're

266
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.240
<v Speaker 2>just going to use it. And the other thing we

267
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 2>tend to do is, hey, if a teaspoons good, isn't

268
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:38.440
<v Speaker 2>a tablespoon better? Right? We know you know you're driving

269
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.639
<v Speaker 2>a nail. Get a bigger hammer and you can drive

270
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 2>it better. Well, it doesn't work that way with pesticides,

271
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:49.039
<v Speaker 2>With insecticides, spongicides, herbicides, you can damage your plants. By

272
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 2>not reading the label. You can cause environmental damage to

273
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 2>creak rivers. That's in people. If you don't read the label,

274
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.120
<v Speaker 2>always read the label and follow it carefully, and there

275
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>you will learn things like do not put a herbicide

276
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 2>that's pre emergent down without watering it in, because it

277
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.679
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work until water takes it into the soil surface.

278
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.320
<v Speaker 2>So read the label, read the label, and then follow

279
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>the label.

280
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:16.480
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

281
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:21.200
<v Speaker 2>And there's something in my family I call stupid tax.

282
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I call it. I say it about myself. And I

283
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>used to always tell my kids, well, you're going to

284
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.639
<v Speaker 2>pay the stupid tax if you do that. What that

285
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>means is you don't do the thing you should do,

286
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:32.799
<v Speaker 2>and you get to pay for it, and then you

287
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.519
<v Speaker 2>hopefully learn so you don't have to pay stupid tax again.

288
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't pay stupid tax. Read the label, follow the label.

289
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:40.879
<v Speaker 8>All right.

290
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm off my soapbox. Meanwhile, back at garden line seven

291
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.120
<v Speaker 2>one three two one two kt r H. Seven to

292
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 2>one three two one two kt r H. That's how

293
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>you get a hold of me. Let's talk about the

294
00:16:53.960 --> 00:17:00.080
<v Speaker 2>things that interest you. I love Ace hardware stores, and

295
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 2>I have a hard time passing one with not going

296
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:07.720
<v Speaker 2>in because Ace Hardware stores are independently owned So although

297
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.279
<v Speaker 2>it is a chain of stores and you've got the

298
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>ACE products and you have a general mix of things

299
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 2>that you would expect from any ACE, each store is

300
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:20.119
<v Speaker 2>privately owned so they can do things that maybe another

301
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>store doesn't do. So you see some really interesting things

302
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 2>at ACE Hardware, and I guarantee you you go into one.

303
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.440
<v Speaker 2>If you haven't bet a known ACE hardware recently, you

304
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 2>go into one and you're going to go, oh, I

305
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't know they carried that, or I've never even seen

306
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 2>that before. What is it? They just have cool stuff,

307
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:38.960
<v Speaker 2>And of course you're going to go in and get

308
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.839
<v Speaker 2>everything you need for your lawn and garden and your landscape.

309
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, the fall fertilizers I'm talking about, they've got them,

310
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the fire ant control falls, fire ant season and extension.

311
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 2>We used to say agrolacri extension. We used to say

312
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 2>tackle fire ants in the fall. And the idea was, hey,

313
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.319
<v Speaker 2>fall is football season, so we're going to say tackle

314
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 2>fire ants fall two. The best season of the year

315
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 2>to get in there and knock your fire ants down

316
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>significantly is in the fall. Baits are the way to

317
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:14.160
<v Speaker 2>do that. Individual maund treatments apply more pesticide in the environment.

318
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Baits apply very little pesticide in the environment. There's organic

319
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and there's synthetic baits. You have options, but do the

320
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 2>baits and suppress the large area. If you can get

321
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 2>your neighbors to do bait. When you do bait, it

322
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>is way more effective. It really is. We did some

323
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.319
<v Speaker 2>studies in agur Life years ago where one of our

324
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>some of our entomologists went out and they would hoa

325
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:41.920
<v Speaker 2>or something would bring them in and they'd have a

326
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>meeting for all the homeowners and say, look, we're gonna

327
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.480
<v Speaker 2>here's the bait, and here's how you do it. And

328
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.079
<v Speaker 2>if everybody does it, it really affects you. I mean,

329
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 2>if you're controlling your fire ants and the people around

330
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>you aren't, well you know how that works, they're just

331
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.119
<v Speaker 2>going to come on in. But when everybody does it,

332
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>it is much more effective. But remember Bates. Remember ACE

333
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.319
<v Speaker 2>forty stores in the Greater Houston area. All you have

334
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>to do is go to ACE Hardware dot Com, find

335
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 2>the store locator and you can find the store near you.

336
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.400
<v Speaker 2>We are Let's see here, what are we on? Time?

337
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:17.359

<v Speaker 2>right back after we take a little break here for

343
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.319
<v Speaker 2>some news. In the meantime, look out the window and

344
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.079
<v Speaker 2>it's Starkat said. If your neighbor's lights aren't on, you

345
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.519
<v Speaker 2>need to go bang on the door and tell them

346
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 2>they're missing garden Line. They will rise up and call

347
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you bless it. Maybe not today, they may call you

348
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.160
<v Speaker 2>something else today. I'll be right back.

349
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 8>There we go.

350
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're gonna head out to League City and

351
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.880
<v Speaker 2>talk to John. Hey, John, welcome to garden Line.

352
00:19:58.119 --> 00:19:59.119
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, hey, good morning.

353
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.079
<v Speaker 10>So about two weeks ago, my wife and I planted

354
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.200
<v Speaker 10>some skyward yopon hollies.

355
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

356
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 10>And they're pretty bigger, like seven feet tall. They were

357
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.839
<v Speaker 10>two seven and a half gallons and one fifteen gallon.

358
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 8>And we planted them.

359
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 10>You know, I kind of dug them like Randy always said,

360
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.920
<v Speaker 10>you know, two wide, two times wide, one and a

361
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.519
<v Speaker 10>half deep, and put some expanded shale in with the soil.

362
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 6>What do you recommend though, as.

363
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 10>Far as watering. They're in the sun a lot and

364
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 10>I just with like, you know, how much should we water,

365
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:29.440
<v Speaker 10>et cetera.

366
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And this is a yopon, not not a different type

367
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:34.119
<v Speaker 2>of holly.

368
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 10>It's a yop It's called a skyward yop on holly.

369
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 10>It's it's uh, it goes really tall, goes up to

370
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 10>maybe like fifteen feet.

371
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 2>That's the kind of holly it is. Yeah, Well, I

372
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 2>would water on them regularly as long as we're having

373
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.920
<v Speaker 2>warm weather. And when I say regularly, I mean think

374
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>of it this way. That pot was sitting in a

375
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:05.759
<v Speaker 2>garden center and they were watering it every day, because

376
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the whole root system is in the pot you put

377
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 2>in the ground, and it's going to take months and months,

378
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 2>if not a couple of years for that thing to

379
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 2>fully extend a good root system out there. So early on,

380
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.200
<v Speaker 2>it's almost as if you sunk the pot in the ground,

381
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:24.000
<v Speaker 2>meaning the roots are all still in the same spot.

382
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:27.519
<v Speaker 2>So while your soil could be moist, that that area

383
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>where the roots are can get dry, and that's the

384
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 2>only place the plant can get water is from that

385
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:35.319
<v Speaker 2>area where the roots are. So just a light watering,

386
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>don't drown them, But about every day every other day

387
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.440
<v Speaker 2>when we're having ninety degree temperatures. Then you know, you

388
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 2>can back off as we start to cool off a

389
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 2>little bit, to the point where in winter you're just

390
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe once a week giving them some water.

391
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.960
<v Speaker 10>Okay, Yeah, we've been putting like a trickle down there

392
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.279
<v Speaker 10>every day for maybe fifteen minutes or something, and it's

393
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:02.960
<v Speaker 10>kind of really moisten that rootball. But if we didn't

394
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.039
<v Speaker 10>know if that was enough or in this hot weather

395
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 10>or what we should be doing.

396
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just it. You know, it's hard to tell someone

397
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.000
<v Speaker 2>how much to water because there's quantity and there's frequency

398
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.359
<v Speaker 2>both and so if you're in a sandy soil, you're

399
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna water a little more often. If you're in a

400
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:27.920
<v Speaker 2>clay soil, you're definitely water less often. So I would

401
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:30.599
<v Speaker 2>I use my hands and I dig down in the

402
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.440
<v Speaker 2>soil a little bit, maybe three inches and feel the soil,

403
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and if it's moist I don't water, but if it's not,

404
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I do. That's kind of the best way to tell.

405
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 10>Well, right there in the rootball or close by that

406
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 10>you just kind of dig with you, yeah.

407
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Kind of right on the outside of it, just feeling

408
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:53.839
<v Speaker 2>right there. You know, It's it's not like a rocket

409
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.240
<v Speaker 2>science or you got to get it just right. It's

410
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.039
<v Speaker 2>just a matter of trying to gauge that I'm keeping

411
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 2>it moist. That that's the important thing, you know, I said,

412
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 2>sand or clay. It's also true if it's in a

413
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of sun or not much son, that dramatically changes

414
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>how much water.

415
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.039
<v Speaker 3>It is sun right now, So yeah.

416
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, So they're just a lot of factors that

417
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 2>go into it. Just the main thing is remember where

418
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 2>all the roots are and will be all the way

419
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.559
<v Speaker 2>through next spring. For sure. You got to take care

420
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 2>of that base of the plant. That that's where the

421
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:30.599
<v Speaker 2>plant can take up nutrients. And okay, all right, good,

422
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.680
<v Speaker 2>you don't put good luck with that. Yeah, okay, did

423
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:36.200
<v Speaker 2>you say, did you ask me something?

424
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 10>Well, I say, you don't want to put fertilized down

425
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.480
<v Speaker 10>or anything on it? We have not even to put

426
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 10>water down, I don't think.

427
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:46.319
<v Speaker 2>No, don't worry about that right now. Let's get it

428
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 2>in spring when it starts coming out, we can begin

429
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to put a fertilizer around it and kind of scratch

430
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.359
<v Speaker 2>it in the soil surface and water it in real good. Okay,

431
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:02.400
<v Speaker 2>thank you, all right, sir. All right, folks, if you'd

432
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 2>like to give me a call and talk about something

433
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.279
<v Speaker 2>that is of interest to you. Well seven one three

436
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>down there in the Heights. I first of all, I

437
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know who is listening right now that was out there,

438

444
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 2>as well. I got to meet a lot of listeners

445
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 2>and I appreciate that. It's always fun.

446
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

447
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:49.960

449
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:55.599

450
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.279

451
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.839

00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, the shrubs, trees, vines. I was taking some

455
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:16.160
<v Speaker 2>pictures of some go fritillary butterflies that were laying their

456
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:19.559
<v Speaker 2>eggs on some of the passion vines that they had there.

457

471
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:17.799
<v Speaker 2>and welcome to garden Line.

472
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:21.039
<v Speaker 11>Than y uh looky show.

473
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:21.480
<v Speaker 12>Uh.

474
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:24.400
<v Speaker 11>I was going to get with you for the last

475
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:27.519
<v Speaker 11>couple of seasons I've had. When I plant my college greens,

476
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.920
<v Speaker 11>I was gonna plan a few here forwards here soon.

477
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:35.279
<v Speaker 11>And I have little bugs that eat I mean they

478
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:38.799
<v Speaker 11>just eat them down to the to the tub. And

479
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:41.799
<v Speaker 11>I've tried every I'm going to the hardware store and

480
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.480
<v Speaker 11>asked for ay and told you this is that seven

481
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 11>done field. I have not I have not had. The

482
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 11>first year I grew up, I had some many I

483
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 11>couldn't couldn't give away. And the last two seasons, the

484
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 11>age been just divided by the pest.

485
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so are you seeing the pists?

486
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 11>You think now they're a little bitty I mean okay, topic,

487
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:15.279
<v Speaker 11>I mean they will. Yeah, they just like you took

488
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 11>the whole punch. It just punched every every leaf.

489
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's a beetle. Then uh uh and and it's

490
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:26.599
<v Speaker 2>uh it's probably the yellow margin leaf beetle. But it

491
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.319
<v Speaker 2>really doesn't matter which one it is. And there's there's

492
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>two approaches in the future. When you're gonna plant, I

493
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:41.920
<v Speaker 2>would put a row cover over the planting after the

494
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:44.200
<v Speaker 2>seeds are in, and you you can use a little

495
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>bit piece of PVC to hold it up, kind of

496
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.319
<v Speaker 2>make a hoop of tunnel going down the row. And

497
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.480
<v Speaker 2>that roe cover is very very light, very very fine

498
00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 2>textured spun bound polyester. So I is tell people that

499
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.039
<v Speaker 2>are have kids raising kids that it's like the stuff

500
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.319
<v Speaker 2>lining a disposable baby diaper. If you've ever looked in

501
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.039
<v Speaker 2>at gloves or Huggies or Pampers or something, there's the

502
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.079
<v Speaker 2>absorbent material, but then there's something that's right up against

503
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.559
<v Speaker 2>the baby, and that literally is the same material. A

504
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.519
<v Speaker 2>company that makes I think it's Pampers also makes one

505
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:24.680
<v Speaker 2>of the commercial road covers the same thing. But anyway,

506
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>that's like putting a screen porch over it so the

507
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 2>bugs can't get in. Now that you've got them in,

508
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 2>you you know, you don't put a roll cover that's

509
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.200
<v Speaker 2>just trapping them inside. I would get a product containing spinosaid,

510
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:47.839
<v Speaker 2>and I will spell that out. It's spi no sad, yeah,

511
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.319
<v Speaker 2>spino said, And so I'm going to have to run

512
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:55.200
<v Speaker 2>to a break here ed. But that comes in many brands.

513
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to find, and it kills anything that's chewing

514
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:01.720
<v Speaker 2>on your plants. It's also an organic product.

515
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:05.720
<v Speaker 11>Okay, And where would I get that any.

516
00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Any garden center, Ace hardware store, any place like that. Spinosa. Yeah,

517
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>all right, take care, Yeah all right, folks. I'm sorry

518
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I had to run some fast, but we got to

519
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:18.640
<v Speaker 2>go to a break. I'll be right back if you

520
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:20.440
<v Speaker 2>would like to give me a call. Seven to one

521
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:24.000
<v Speaker 2>three two one two k t L right seven one

522
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:29.119
<v Speaker 2>three two one two k t R eight. I was

523
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 2>checking out some of the heirloom soil products the other day,

524
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.519
<v Speaker 2>and you know, there's a number of them that I've used,

525
00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 2>and every time I use one, I find it to

526
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.839
<v Speaker 2>be very successful for my succulents that we're repotting a

527
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:44.000
<v Speaker 2>while back, Cactus and succulent. That is the one that

528
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.359
<v Speaker 2>is very gritty and it drains super extra well, and

529
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>it's good for those plants that don't want to have

530
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.640
<v Speaker 2>wet soil. It just drains well. The Works potting soil.

531
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Visiting with someone the other day telling them they have said,

532
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>what what potting soil do you recommend? I said, well,

533
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 2>get the works. It's good and it's easy, it's very

534
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:04.559
<v Speaker 2>well made. I use it for a lot of my

535
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:05.319
<v Speaker 2>indoor potting.

536
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:06.319
<v Speaker 5>Now.

537
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 2>The roses in Bloomers Blend is just one of those

538
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:14.240
<v Speaker 2>good multipurpose soils. It says roses on it and bloomers.

539
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 2>But I would use it for if I was doing

540
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.279
<v Speaker 2>a bed, you know, just for a lot of different

541
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.240
<v Speaker 2>kinds of blooming things. It would be an excellent choice.

542
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:24.279
<v Speaker 2>One of my favorite products they have is a veggie

543
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>and herb mix. Veggie and herb is kind of a

544
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 2>standard for any kind of gardens like that. I put

545
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:31.279
<v Speaker 2>it in my vego raised beds, I put it in

546
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:35.039
<v Speaker 2>the ground. I've mixed it into the soil itself, just

547
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 2>to enhance the soil, kind of give it an extra boost.

548
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:42.079
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I could sit here just talking on

549
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 2>and on all day because they have so many products.

550
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Fruit Berry and citrus mix, the landscape mix, expanded shale,

551
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:53.559
<v Speaker 2>expanded shell with compost. You see what I'm saying, age, leap, mole, compost,

552
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:57.160
<v Speaker 2>They got it all. Airloom Soils is available to many

553
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.680
<v Speaker 2>many garden centers. If you want to go online and

554
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 2>see more, I would highly recommend you do that. Go

555
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:09.759
<v Speaker 2>to heirloomsoils dot com. Heirloomsoils dot com. You can learn

556
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:11.920
<v Speaker 2>about these products. You can find out where to get them.

557
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:14.319
<v Speaker 2>If you live in Timbuctu there's gonna be someplace near

558
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.799
<v Speaker 2>you who that rhymes that is going to carry heirloom soils,

559
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.480
<v Speaker 2>and I highly recommend them because I've used them and

560
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 2>they work. Soil so a brand stuff before green stuff. Right,

561
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 2>If you want to have success with plants, you fix

562
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 2>the foundation and then you put the plant in it.

563
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:39.240
<v Speaker 2>And fixing the foundation means you put the nutrients that

564
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 2>they need, You put the organic matter, you improve the drainage,

565
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you do all those things that you need to do.

566

00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.480
<v Speaker 2>going and check on them periodically, see how they're doing,

594
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:13.759
<v Speaker 2>what's going on out there. When you head into D

595
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.559
<v Speaker 2>and D Feed, what you're going to find is everything

596
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 2>you're looking for and people that know what they're talking about.

597
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.200
<v Speaker 2>If you've got some pest issue or a weed issue

598
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.519
<v Speaker 2>or something like that that is difficult, you know, difficult

599
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:30.559
<v Speaker 2>to manage, go into D and D and talk to Jeff,

600
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:32.720
<v Speaker 2>talk to some of the folks there, and you're going

601
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:35.799
<v Speaker 2>to be really surprised at the kinds of products they

602
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:37.200
<v Speaker 2>have that you're not going to find in a lot

603
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.920
<v Speaker 2>of other places, and that is well worth, as I say,

604
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:44.119
<v Speaker 2>the price of admission to be able to get that

605
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:49.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of service. All Right, Well, I'm gonna let's see here.

606
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.880
<v Speaker 2>We're going to head out to northwest Houston and talk

607
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 2>to Ed. Hey, Ed, welcome to garden Line.

608
00:33:56.160 --> 00:34:05.440
<v Speaker 4>Good morning, Hey bout them about Hello, yes, sir, about

609
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.799
<v Speaker 4>some sedge hammer.

610
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 8>And I want to know what's the best way to

611
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 8>apply it, whether it's early morning or does it matter

612
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:16.920
<v Speaker 8>what time of day? And I believe you told me

613
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 8>something about maybe putting a little water on before I applied.

614
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:23.119
<v Speaker 8>I need to refresh your course on it.

615
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So the only thing about putting water on is

616
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 2>if you've got stressed weeds of any kind with any herbicide,

617
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:35.559
<v Speaker 2>you want to get those weeds actively growing because that

618
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:39.000
<v Speaker 2>allows the herbicide to move in and be taken up.

619
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:42.000
<v Speaker 2>If the weeds are stressed, they're not likely to take

620
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:47.880
<v Speaker 2>up the herbicide as well. Okay, so that would be

621
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the only thing about watering. The time of day doesn't

622
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:56.119
<v Speaker 2>matter with sedge hammer, Okay. I would you know it's

623
00:34:56.199 --> 00:35:01.559
<v Speaker 2>got a does it say Is it just sedge hammer

624
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.280
<v Speaker 2>or is it such hammer two or such hummer plus

625
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:06.559
<v Speaker 2>or any kind of things like that.

626
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 8>I think it's got an X on it or something.

627
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:09.679
<v Speaker 8>I bought it at Southward.

628
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's it.

629
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 8>This is the one that has just a fact and

630
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:14.320
<v Speaker 8>then yes.

631
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.800
<v Speaker 2>It's got the surround. Okay, that's critical, especially for a

632
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.239
<v Speaker 2>slick weed like nuts edge. Yep, you don't have to

633
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:22.199
<v Speaker 2>do anything else and just mix it up according to

634
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.320
<v Speaker 2>the label, spray it on the weeds. It's not gonna

635
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.679
<v Speaker 2>hurt your lawn. I would do it in the morning myself,

636
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 2>just because it's cooler, more pleasant to be out, and

637
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:35.079
<v Speaker 2>it's always better to apply her. Besides earlier in the day,

638
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.800
<v Speaker 2>just because if there were a risk of some kind

639
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 2>of damage, it's going to be decreased, you know, to

640
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.719
<v Speaker 2>a lawn or something. But with sedge hammer, you don't

641
00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:46.039
<v Speaker 2>have to worry about that much. Okay.

642
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:48.719
<v Speaker 8>Well, I bought two applications because I figured as much

643
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker 8>of it as I have, I'll need that second application.

644
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:57.280
<v Speaker 8>How far in between applications would you say I need

645
00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 8>to be concerned?

646
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, be patient. Sedgehammer takes a while

647
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:07.119
<v Speaker 2>to show that it's doing anything. It's going to take

648
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:09.639
<v Speaker 2>you a couple of weeks and before you really see okay,

649
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it is taking these weeds down. So I

650
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:18.480
<v Speaker 2>would say probably about six weeks. If you needed to

651
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:21.559
<v Speaker 2>reply it, I would. I would give it some time.

652
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's the problem with this time of year. You've got

653
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:30.920
<v Speaker 2>winter coming on, and so six weeks from now you're

654
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.559
<v Speaker 2>not going to have a real, actively growing nuts edge

655
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:34.440
<v Speaker 2>plant most.

656
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:38.519
<v Speaker 8>Likely, right, And if I don't do a good job

657
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:43.199
<v Speaker 8>of eradicating, Now, when do I expect to see it

658
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 8>come back at me again?

659
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, to the degree you don't control it, it is

660
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:57.400
<v Speaker 2>reproducing and you're getting more and more daughter plants, so

661
00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:01.239
<v Speaker 2>it will be back in the spring. But if you

662
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 2>had one, let's just say you had only one nutsedge

663
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.880
<v Speaker 2>plan in your yard right now, when it comes out

664
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.199
<v Speaker 2>in the spring with new growth, you need to hit

665
00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:11.079
<v Speaker 2>it right down or by May you're going to have

666
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 2>eight times that much nuts edge. And that's that's that

667
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:18.800
<v Speaker 2>reproductive potential. I put something on my website, the website's

668
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:23.280
<v Speaker 2>gardening with skip dot com, and it's a thing. It

669
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:27.199
<v Speaker 2>says nuts edge a closer look or I can't remember

670
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.559
<v Speaker 2>what I called it, but it's a thing on nuts edge,

671
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 2>and if you will read it, it explains some of

672
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.760
<v Speaker 2>that how the weed itself is working and therefore how

673
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.440
<v Speaker 2>you have to go about controlling it.

674
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:41.320
<v Speaker 8>Okay, yeah, I found out how it worked in my

675
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:46.119
<v Speaker 8>bed year before last, and I dug it out fain

676
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:50.320
<v Speaker 8>by vain, and I've also applied some fedge hamming. Boy

677
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:55.519
<v Speaker 8>it worked fine, but you can't do it in Saint Augustine. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay,

678
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:57.719
<v Speaker 8>all right, I read read Thank you sir.

679
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, good luck with that. I appreciate, appreciate that

680
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:03.519

698
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to kt r H Garden Line with Scip Richard.

699
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:29.480
<v Speaker 3>It's just watch him as set.

700
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:36.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, folks, we're back. Welcome back. Good to have

701
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:43.039
<v Speaker 2>you with us today. Hey, I was talking earlier about

702
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.880
<v Speaker 2>some things I wanted to mention on the air about

703
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:50.679
<v Speaker 2>soil and beds and things. If you are wanting to

704
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:53.679
<v Speaker 2>do a vegetable garden or a flower bed, or if

705
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:55.400
<v Speaker 2>you've never had one you want to build one, or

706
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.159
<v Speaker 2>if you have one and you want to replant, always

707
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 2>remember to take your the soil by adding compost with

708
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:05.000
<v Speaker 2>each transition. Every time I pull out a section of

709
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.519
<v Speaker 2>flowers and replant, I put in about an inch of

710
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.000
<v Speaker 2>compost and mix it into the soil. And that's assuming

711
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:12.119
<v Speaker 2>that I had good soil to begin with. You know,

712
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:15.159
<v Speaker 2>if you're going into a poor soil spot and you're

713
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:16.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to create a bed, you need a lot more

714
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:20.199
<v Speaker 2>than that, but at least keep its bruced up, if

715
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:22.440
<v Speaker 2>you will. In that way in the vegetable garden, I'm

716
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.079
<v Speaker 2>always adding to the soil. Always improve in the soil,

717
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:29.280
<v Speaker 2>because with each transition it just gets better and better

718
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:32.239
<v Speaker 2>and better. And so keep that in mind. If you're

719
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.280
<v Speaker 2>building a soil that is for a let's say a

720
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:38.079
<v Speaker 2>long term plant, let's say a rose bush for example.

721
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:41.480
<v Speaker 2>You can't lift the rose up and put compost in

722
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:44.199
<v Speaker 2>and put the rose back down every year. That's ridiculous.

723
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.199
<v Speaker 2>You wouldn't do that. But you can start off with

724
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:51.760
<v Speaker 2>a good quality rose soil blend. But also mixing some

725
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:57.320
<v Speaker 2>expanded shale down into the clay soil is very helpful,

726
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and it takes about three inches to make a signal

727
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 2>magnificant difference immediately to a clay soil. If it's a

728
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:06.039
<v Speaker 2>soil that you're going to be working over the time,

729
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 2>you can just keep adding expanded show it sticks around

730
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:12.320
<v Speaker 2>while compost decomposes away. But expanded jail is one of

731
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.800
<v Speaker 2>your tricks for having success in clay by opening that

732
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:18.559
<v Speaker 2>clay up. But it's not just a little sprinkling of

733
00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.079
<v Speaker 2>expanded shell. Put two or three inches on there and

734
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:25.719
<v Speaker 2>work them in deeply to get the good effect. Let's

735
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:29.599
<v Speaker 2>go now to Frida and Pasadena and Hello Frida, welcome

736
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:30.199
<v Speaker 2>to garden Line.

737
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:37.719
<v Speaker 13>Thank you. Got another question about my hibistus plant. It

738
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.519
<v Speaker 13>is just loaded with beds. It's in a pot and

739
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:44.360
<v Speaker 13>it's just loaded with beds. And one morning I worked

740
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 13>up and they had all dropped off under the ground.

741
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:50.079
<v Speaker 13>So I was wondering what I did wrong? Did I

742
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:53.079
<v Speaker 13>water too much, not enough? Or is something bothering it?

743
00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is the tropical hibiscus, the kind with all

744
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the beautiful colors of flowers. Or is that the perennial

745
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:03.599
<v Speaker 2>one that basically comes in white, pink, and red.

746
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:09.920
<v Speaker 13>It's red. I think the blooms are red.

747
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Or the blooms the size of a dinner plate or

748
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:17.960
<v Speaker 2>are they more like the size of your your fester

749
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:24.599
<v Speaker 2>a little bigger than your fest Right, that's it, Okay,

750
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:27.639
<v Speaker 2>it could be. It could be any kind of a stress,

751
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:31.360
<v Speaker 2>A drought stress, a temporary drought stress can do that.

752
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Any issue that stresses the plant, you know, soggy wet conditions, stress,

753
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.280
<v Speaker 2>a plant. It could also be there's some insects that

754
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:43.519
<v Speaker 2>can cause that, and then certainly certain temperature things can

755
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:47.320
<v Speaker 2>cause trouble with those tropical biscuits keeping their blooms. But

756
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:50.239
<v Speaker 2>I think if I were you, I would just watch

757
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the sole moisture, try to keep it evenly moist. Is

758
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:54.880
<v Speaker 2>this plant and a container or the ground? If you

759
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:55.400
<v Speaker 2>said it, I.

760
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:57.679
<v Speaker 13>Missed that it's in a container.

761
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, Well, in a container it's easier to you know,

762
00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:06.079
<v Speaker 2>if the draining tools are plugged, it's easy to have

763
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.480
<v Speaker 2>soggy conditions, and in a container in general, it's easier

764
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.880
<v Speaker 2>to have dry conditions because the roots are confined to

765
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.320
<v Speaker 2>just the soil in that container. So I'm going to

766
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:19.159
<v Speaker 2>guess that it may be a soul moisture, but there

767
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:23.320
<v Speaker 2>could be insects involved, But I would just watch and

768
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:26.599
<v Speaker 2>see how they do. I think as you give it

769
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:29.760
<v Speaker 2>care and give it good sunlight, you should see it

770
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.800
<v Speaker 2>recuperate and give you a few more balloons before things

771
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:33.679
<v Speaker 2>cool off too much.

772
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.719
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, well it's I got it on the front porch,

773
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:41.840
<v Speaker 13>and not on the porch but the front and so

774
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:46.199
<v Speaker 13>it gets plenty of sun you know, water morning. But

775
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:47.800
<v Speaker 13>maybe I'm not giving it a nut.

776
00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:52.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, well, you know, it's it's hard to

777
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.679
<v Speaker 2>quantify and say how much I give it. I water

778
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:57.159
<v Speaker 2>mine until the water comes out the bottom of the

779
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.599
<v Speaker 2>of the container, and then don't don't water a little while.

780
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:03.599
<v Speaker 2>But that would be my best recommendation for you. I

781
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:06.039
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't fertilize it at this time. Wait until next spring,

782
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:08.119
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll begin fertilized and that thing again.

783
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:10.840
<v Speaker 13>Okay, okay, Sarah, thank you.

784
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:14.360
<v Speaker 2>So much, you bet, thank you, Fred. I appreciate the call.

785
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:18.000
<v Speaker 2>RCW Nursery is the garden center that is there where

786
00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Tomball Parkway two forty nine comes into about what a

787
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:26.480
<v Speaker 2>eight and RCW is They always have stuff going up

788
00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.639
<v Speaker 2>right now. They're lantana's or gorgeous and you ought to

789
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:33.039
<v Speaker 2>see the bees and the pollinators and things, the butterflies

790
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:37.239
<v Speaker 2>visiting the lantana's. I got some lantana's from RCW, and

791
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:40.960
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, I look out the window and it's

792
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:44.679
<v Speaker 2>just there's all kinds of different unusual butterflies that I

793
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:48.079
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen before that are on those plants. They really

794
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:51.719
<v Speaker 2>really like those rcw's loaded on croton. So you talk

795
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:54.199
<v Speaker 2>about the color of fall, they've got it. Do you

796
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>need vegetables for the cool season, you know, leafy greens,

797
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:00.559
<v Speaker 2>root vets, all those kinds of things, they got them.

798
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:06.559
<v Speaker 2>They still have their sale on trees fifteen percent off

799
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:09.719
<v Speaker 2>all trees. You can buy something a fifteen gallon size

800
00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:11.719
<v Speaker 2>so you can take it on planet yourself, or you

801
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.440
<v Speaker 2>can get all the way up to two hundred gallons.

802
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 2>By the way, RCW can come out and plant for you.

803
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.960
<v Speaker 2>They can do that. They can provide you the products

804
00:45:18.039 --> 00:45:20.119
<v Speaker 2>you want to put down when you're doing the planting,

805
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and certainly the advice they know about trees. They grow

806
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:26.760
<v Speaker 2>their own trees. Basically, that's essentially what's going on there.

807
00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful moms, very pretty mums that RCW color everything you need.

808
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 2>So fall is the time to plant, especially roses and

809
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:39.960
<v Speaker 2>woody ornamentals and citrus. By the way, they have citrus

810
00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:43.039
<v Speaker 2>that already have froot on them. This is the time

811
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:45.920
<v Speaker 2>to get it planted. So let's get that done now.

812
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Go out to RCW Nursery, take advantage of the sales

813
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:52.480
<v Speaker 2>that they have going on on trees and shrubs, and

814
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I think you will be very pleased with the results there. Again.

815
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:01.159
<v Speaker 2>RCW Nursries Dot com is a way website. They're located

<v Speaker 2>sweltering heat today. You hear me talk about Southwest Fertilizer

834
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:19.039
<v Speaker 2>all the time, and it's because I am so impressed

835
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.800

<v Speaker 2>go here and they don't have it, and you go

838
00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:29.480

861
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to garden Line.

862
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:47.559
<v Speaker 14>Hi Ski, Good morning, Skiff, Thank you so much for

863
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.440
<v Speaker 14>taking my call. We have some property. It's actually out

864
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:56.840
<v Speaker 14>and through all Texas, so it's like thee often and

865
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:02.760
<v Speaker 14>at College Station, undeveloped. But we have planted five apple

866
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:06.559
<v Speaker 14>trees out there and so far they're doing fairly well.

867
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:10.079
<v Speaker 14>We've had a little bit of issue with you know,

868
00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:13.239
<v Speaker 14>just bugs and all that kind of stuff, so we've

869
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:15.920
<v Speaker 14>been working with that. But right now what we're concerned

870
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:21.440
<v Speaker 14>about is there is so much sticker birr we all

871
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:26.519
<v Speaker 14>around the trees and it makes it hard to manage it.

872
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:26.760
<v Speaker 13>All.

873
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:29.519
<v Speaker 14>We were just wondering, is there anything we can do

874
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:33.679
<v Speaker 14>to get rid of those sticker birds without herding the tree?

875
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

876
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:34.599
<v Speaker 15>Uh?

877
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Now is this a grass burr that you're talking about?

878
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:42.480
<v Speaker 14>Yes, yes, you know, like those prickly things just walk

879
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.119
<v Speaker 14>through the grass and it's I think it's all coastal

880
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:47.960
<v Speaker 14>kind of grass in there that we want to keep.

881
00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:49.440
<v Speaker 8>But the weedy.

882
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Stuff is you know, the the weedy stuff kind of

883
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:55.000
<v Speaker 2>blends in a sense. It's a grass and it's growing,

884
00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:59.639
<v Speaker 2>growing in the grass. Yeah, is that right? Okay? All right,

885
00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:02.920
<v Speaker 2>So here's what you need to do as far as

886
00:50:03.039 --> 00:50:08.440
<v Speaker 2>killing it right now. No, because if you kill the

887
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:12.800
<v Speaker 2>grass burr, you kill the grass the bermuda that you

888
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:17.280
<v Speaker 2>have there. Now, fruit trees hate to have grass as

889
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:20.360
<v Speaker 2>a competition. So if you could give them as wide

890
00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:24.199
<v Speaker 2>of a bed of weed free soil as possible and

891
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.119
<v Speaker 2>moult it really well, they will do ten times better

892
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.719
<v Speaker 2>for you. Plus it keeps the lawnmower and weed eat

893
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:33.679
<v Speaker 2>are away from the trunk. But that is the first

894
00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:36.159
<v Speaker 2>thing I would do, is kill everything there. I mean,

895
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you could use a general purpose killer, or you could

896
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:40.840
<v Speaker 2>use a grass only killer. If you go to my

897
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:44.320
<v Speaker 2>website Gardening with Skip there's a publication on it says

898
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:47.239
<v Speaker 2>herbicides for the weed wiper, but it talks about different

899
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:50.039
<v Speaker 2>herbicides for each kind of plant. And there's like three

900
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:55.800
<v Speaker 2>different options for grass control around your plants. And you're

901
00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:59.599
<v Speaker 2>kind of you're located close to plants for all seasons there,

902
00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and I know they carry these here in plant rail seasons.

903
00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:05.599
<v Speaker 2>You can just pick some up when you're back this

904
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:09.480
<v Speaker 2>way or when you're home, but follow the label now

905
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:15.320
<v Speaker 2>going forward next spring, same website, gardening with skip dot com.

906
00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:19.199
<v Speaker 2>I have my lawn care schedule, okay, and I know

907
00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:21.320
<v Speaker 2>you're not trying to grow a lawn there, But on

908
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the lawn care schedule and on the disease excuse me,

909
00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:28.679
<v Speaker 2>insect disease and weed schedule, that's a separate one. You're

910
00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:31.880
<v Speaker 2>going to find things to take care of turf grasses

911
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:36.599
<v Speaker 2>and also to prevent the problems. And in February is

912
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:40.760
<v Speaker 2>when you put down a pre emergent herbicide like barricade

913
00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:45.800
<v Speaker 2>to shut down grass bur when it tries to get started.

914
00:51:46.199 --> 00:51:49.119
<v Speaker 2>So I would do it in late February and your area,

915
00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.199
<v Speaker 2>and then I would do it again about sixty to

916
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:56.280
<v Speaker 2>ninety days later because grasspur will continue to germinate on

917
00:51:56.400 --> 00:52:00.800
<v Speaker 2>through the summer. But those two pre emergent applications is

918
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:03.039
<v Speaker 2>how you're going to get it out of all the area.

919
00:52:03.519 --> 00:52:05.840
<v Speaker 2>And I talked about killing it around, killing everything around

920
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the trees to have the trees not have that competition,

921
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:11.599
<v Speaker 2>but have nice mulch. And then the pre emergent in

922
00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:17.400
<v Speaker 2>spring to kill the grassberg before the seeds can establish.

923
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:20.960
<v Speaker 14>All right, yeah, thank you so much.

924
00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Perfect, All right, thank you appreciate that. Now on garden line,

925
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't charge for advice, but I do ask you

926
00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:30.480
<v Speaker 2>to bring me half the apples when you get production,

927
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:36.280
<v Speaker 2>to drop them off the studio. We'll call it even well, take.

928
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:37.519
<v Speaker 11>Care, very fruitful.

929
00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:38.800
<v Speaker 14>So yeah, thank you.

930
00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:43.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, you take care. I appreciate that. Yeah, I

931
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:45.719
<v Speaker 2>mentioned plans for all seasons. They're right there on Highway

943
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:20.039
<v Speaker 2>figure out what kind of burr weed is it. Just

944
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.440
<v Speaker 2>bring a sample in or bring a picture in and

<v Speaker 2>at Plants for all seasons. Highway two forty nine just

948
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:34.960
<v Speaker 2>north of Lueta. Plants for all seasons. Dot com Plants

949
00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:39.840
<v Speaker 2>for all seasons dot com Just talking about, excuse me,

950
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:45.760
<v Speaker 2>making sure you get your weed control things and your

951
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:50.199
<v Speaker 2>disease control and insects and things like that. Nitrophos's three

952
00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:52.760
<v Speaker 2>step kind of covers everything you need for fall for

953
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:56.000
<v Speaker 2>your lawn. And here's the thing, and fall we fertilize

954
00:53:56.039 --> 00:54:00.480
<v Speaker 2>with a different blend of fertilizer. Nitrophos calls it the

955
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Fall Special Winter Riser, and it's made for our climate,

956
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:09.159
<v Speaker 2>for our soils, and for the way our grasses warm

957
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:11.880
<v Speaker 2>season grasses here in Texas, the way they take up

958
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:14.440
<v Speaker 2>there and when they take up their nutrients, it is

959
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.960
<v Speaker 2>a perfect fertilizer for doing that. They also have step

960
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:22.239
<v Speaker 2>two of their three step is barricade to prevent weed

961
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:25.599
<v Speaker 2>seeds from germinating. I was just telling Beth the BARRICADEI

962
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:29.719
<v Speaker 2>stop grassbers applied in spring. Well, now you're putting barricade

963
00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:32.639
<v Speaker 2>down to prevent all the cool season weeds chick weed

964
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:36.440
<v Speaker 2>and clover and hen bet and carpet weed and cleavers,

965
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and they're just unfortunately, we have a whole lot of

966
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:42.559
<v Speaker 2>them out there in the yard that we have to prevent.

967
00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:46.920
<v Speaker 2>And then nitrofoss Turf Eagle is a fungicide that's step three,

968
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:50.239
<v Speaker 2>and turf Eagle put down ahead of time, just like

969
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:53.559
<v Speaker 2>we put herbicides that are pre emergent down ahead of

970
00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:58.360
<v Speaker 2>weed germination, ahead of disease appearance. We put down eagle

971
00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:02.039
<v Speaker 2>turf fungicide. It soaks end of the tissue, so when

972
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:04.760
<v Speaker 2>brown patch tries to make circles in your lawn it can't.

973
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:09.360
<v Speaker 2>It prevents take all root rot from getting the upper

974
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:11.960
<v Speaker 2>hand infecting and getting the upper hand on your turf

975
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:18.199
<v Speaker 2>as well. Three steps nitroposs, three steps fall special barricade

976
00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:21.119
<v Speaker 2>and eagle turf fungicide. You can find it at Bearings Hardware.

977
00:55:21.360 --> 00:55:24.159
<v Speaker 2>You can find it at all spa Ace in the woodlands.

978
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:26.960
<v Speaker 2>You're going to find it at Lake Hardware in Angleton

979
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and in Lake Jackson, and you can also find it

980
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:34.000
<v Speaker 2>at RCYW Nursery. Widely available night Foss products makes it

981
00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:38.519
<v Speaker 2>easy to do. You were listening to Guardline our phone

982
00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:42.440
<v Speaker 2>number seven one three two one two five eight seven

983
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:47.320
<v Speaker 2>four seven one three two one two fifty eight seventy four.

984
00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I was discussing the preventing weeds for fall. I've been

985
00:55:55.920 --> 00:56:00.280
<v Speaker 2>noticing around town a blooming weed. That is it's not

986
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:02.519
<v Speaker 2>a cool season, it's a summer weed, but when we

987
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:08.000
<v Speaker 2>get to fall, it blooms, and that weed is a problem.

988
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:13.400
<v Speaker 2>It's called aster. Sometimes it's called roadside aster or black

989
00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:16.440
<v Speaker 2>land aster. There's a lot of different asters out there.

990
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:20.079
<v Speaker 2>There's even ornamental asters we plan on purpose in our gardens.

991
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:24.559
<v Speaker 2>But this roadside aster, this black land aster, is a problem.

992
00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:27.880
<v Speaker 2>You will notice it in the lawns that are drought stressed.

993
00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:31.559
<v Speaker 2>The lawn is basically brown and the aster is a

994
00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:34.440
<v Speaker 2>blue green color. It's kind of like you know broccoli

995
00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:37.760
<v Speaker 2>and cabbage, that blue green color, but even darker than that.

996
00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:41.719
<v Speaker 2>And you may see it all through a lawn, but

997
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I in my lawn it's green. And I got a

998
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:48.960
<v Speaker 2>neighbor that has a weedy lawn and they don't control them,

999
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and so the weeds end up coming over to my side,

1000
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:53.639
<v Speaker 2>and I'm always having to deal with it over there.

1001
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:57.760
<v Speaker 2>But you see these little, tiny, let's say, dime size

1002
00:56:58.199 --> 00:57:02.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of white to light leavin under blooms that look

1003
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:05.840
<v Speaker 2>like little daisy flowers, little skinny daisy flowers. That is

1004
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:10.039
<v Speaker 2>fall aster, and it's blooming now. Now. Just to give

1005
00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:12.320
<v Speaker 2>you some advice and prove the fact that I'm a

1006
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:18.599
<v Speaker 2>gardening nerd, one year, I picked a past bloom astor

1007
00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:22.599
<v Speaker 2>blossom that already had seeds, and I opened it up

1008
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:25.679
<v Speaker 2>and I counted the seeds, and there are fifty seeds

1009
00:57:25.719 --> 00:57:30.320
<v Speaker 2>in that thing. Now, Astor can form clumps on your

1010
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:34.400
<v Speaker 2>lawn as big as a steerwool of your car. And

1011
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw plants that had almost one hundred blooms on them.

1012
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Fifty times one hundred is five thousand. If you leave,

1013
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:51.480
<v Speaker 2>you're blooming asters there in the lawn, five thousand potential

1014
00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:54.320
<v Speaker 2>new plants are being left to come back next year.

1015
00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Have I made a point. Yes, I hope I have

1016
00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:00.360
<v Speaker 2>get rid of it. Don't You're not going to spray

1017
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:03.119
<v Speaker 2>it now with a post emergent herbicides too late. It

1018
00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:07.960
<v Speaker 2>is too late when weeds become reproductive, meaning they're blooming

1019
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:10.760
<v Speaker 2>in setting seats, too late to do the post emergence.

1020
00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:12.800
<v Speaker 2>But you got to get it done. And I get

1021
00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:15.480
<v Speaker 2>out and I hand pull it. At this stage, hand

1022
00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:18.599
<v Speaker 2>pulling it. An area as big as a steer roll

1023
00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:21.239
<v Speaker 2>in your car could just be one plant with one

1024
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.599
<v Speaker 2>taproot coming out of the ground. If the soil's not wet,

1025
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:28.280
<v Speaker 2>water it, get it wet, soften the soil and you

1026
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:30.679
<v Speaker 2>can reach down and find the words coming out of

1027
00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the ground and just you grab it. And I kind

1028
00:58:33.960 --> 00:58:37.719
<v Speaker 2>of wiggle my hand back and forth because I don't

1029
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:39.840
<v Speaker 2>want to just break it off. But if you wiggle

1030
00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:43.000
<v Speaker 2>back and forth as you're pulling it, it comes right

1031
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:45.639
<v Speaker 2>out of the ground pretty easy, really very easy. And

1032
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:47.719
<v Speaker 2>I have five gallon bucket and I just kind of

1033
00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:50.679
<v Speaker 2>hands and knees in it there. But if you stay

1034
00:58:50.679 --> 00:58:52.840
<v Speaker 2>with it like that, you can prevent it. If you

1035
00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:57.960
<v Speaker 2>don't remember the reproductive potential of that plant, it'll be

1036
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:01.360
<v Speaker 2>worse next year by far. If you don't get the

1037
00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:04.079
<v Speaker 2>blooms and seeds out now, don't wait too long, because

1038
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:06.800
<v Speaker 2>after it's bloomed a while, then as you're trying to

1039
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:09.599
<v Speaker 2>pull it up, you're knocking seeds loose from the plant.

1040
00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:14.400
<v Speaker 2>So word of the wise, hope hopefully that's helpful for you.

1041
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I've talked a lot about fertilizing in the fall. You know,

1042
00:59:18.199 --> 00:59:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Azamite is the product that we put down for micronutrients,

1043
00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:26.119
<v Speaker 2>and I anytime you're adding nutrients, you can call that fertilizing. Okay.

1044
00:59:26.519 --> 00:59:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I like to refer to asamite as building the soil

1045
00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:35.159
<v Speaker 2>bank account because when I say fertilized, you think it's

1046
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:38.360
<v Speaker 2>going to make my plants grow, And fertilizer does primarily

1047
00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:43.199
<v Speaker 2>because of the nitrogen in it that boosts that growth. Asumite,

1048
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:45.199
<v Speaker 2>you put it down, and it's not going to make

1049
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:49.239
<v Speaker 2>your lawn grow and change, you know, like you gave

1050
00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:51.559
<v Speaker 2>it a boost. What it's going to do is get

1051
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:55.199
<v Speaker 2>in the soil and all those nutrients needed in trace

1052
00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:58.920
<v Speaker 2>amounts are there and the plant can take them up

1053
00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and they're essential for gro You put your fertilizer down

1054
01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:04.400
<v Speaker 2>and you don't have micro nutrients in the soil, plants

1055
01:00:04.440 --> 01:00:08.400
<v Speaker 2>can't grow. Hazem enables that hazmite Texas dot Com is

01:02:41.239 --> 01:02:44.760
<v Speaker 2>one three two three four five five nine eight. If

1102
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>your lawn has been struggling this summer, there's no single

1103
01:02:47.920 --> 01:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>better thing you can do. Then get a good good

1104
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:54.559
<v Speaker 2>aeration and a compost stop dressing on top of that lawn.

1105
01:02:54.960 --> 01:02:57.679
<v Speaker 2>And people sometimes will ask me questions like well do

1106
01:02:57.760 --> 01:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I fertilize before or after that? It kind of a

1107
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>matter whichever way you want to go about it. You

1108
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>can do either way. If that if you were you

1109
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>going to do your typical lawn fertilizing, just do it

1110
01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:11.119
<v Speaker 2>when you want to do it, and don't worry about

1111
01:03:11.119 --> 01:03:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the compas stop dressing and aeration timing. It is sudden matter,

1112
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.119
<v Speaker 2>all right, This as simple as that. Well, we're going

1113
01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>to run out to the phones now. We're going to

1114
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:22.159
<v Speaker 2>talk to Joan in Baycliffe. Hey, Joan, welcome to garden Line.

1115
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:23.519
<v Speaker 16>Good morning.

1116
01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:28.639
<v Speaker 7>My question is I have been in this home for

1117
01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:32.800
<v Speaker 7>thirty years, and two years ago I noticed a new

1118
01:03:33.559 --> 01:03:37.519
<v Speaker 7>It looked like a kind of leafy fence climbing plant

1119
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:41.239
<v Speaker 7>that wasn't too big a nuisance. But over the past

1120
01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:46.239
<v Speaker 7>two years it is just rampant. And I think it's

1121
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:50.639
<v Speaker 7>cucumber weed. That's what my little plant app told me

1122
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:53.559
<v Speaker 7>that it was. And I'm trying to get rid of it.

1123
01:03:53.639 --> 01:03:57.360
<v Speaker 7>And it is the healthiest thing I've.

1124
01:03:57.119 --> 01:04:00.760
<v Speaker 15>Seen, but I haven't had it, okay.

1125
01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:02.719
<v Speaker 7>Years and years and years.

1126
01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So is it? Is it in your lawn too,

1127
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>or just flower beds or where are you seeing that?

1128
01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:11.840
<v Speaker 7>No, it grows up the fence line and it it

1129
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:14.599
<v Speaker 7>acts like an ivy and it'll get on any plant

1130
01:04:14.679 --> 01:04:18.239
<v Speaker 7>that's there and just totally cover it, just you know,

1131
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:24.280
<v Speaker 7>kind of build a little kent over it. Yeah, Well,

1132
01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:28.239
<v Speaker 7>got a bear like a berry looking. I guess that's

1133
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:33.119
<v Speaker 7>the seed. It doesn't blue, it doesn't green green green,

1134
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:36.559
<v Speaker 7>and the seed is green too. Quite it looks like

1135
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:38.239
<v Speaker 7>a little green berry on it.

1136
01:04:39.079 --> 01:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, you know what, I can give you some suggestions,

1137
01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>but let's do this. Will you send me some pictures

1138
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:49.400
<v Speaker 2>of it so I can look and make sure that

1139
01:04:50.440 --> 01:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>my answer is accurate. I'm going to put you on

1140
01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>hold in just second and Crystal pick it up, and

1141
01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>he will give you an email to send me. Make

1142
01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:01.599
<v Speaker 2>sure the pictures are in good our focus. Maybe one

1143
01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:03.840
<v Speaker 2>of the whole thing, the whole vine on the fence,

1144
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:06.719
<v Speaker 2>and then some close up so the berries that are

1145
01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>in focus and the leaves that are in focus, and

1146
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:12.599
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you what to do, my quitte. My

1147
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>hesitation right now is this is this an annual or

1148
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:18.840
<v Speaker 2>perennial uh And and so if we can determine that

1149
01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>my suggestion for control is going to vary a little bit.

1150
01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:23.679
<v Speaker 7>Okay, okay, I'll be happy to do that.

1151
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:27.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm putting a whole crystal picket right up

1152
01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>and we'll be on our way. Thanks for that call. Uh.

<v Speaker 2>six Jorges Hidden Gardens. We're going to go now to

1185
01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Larry and sugar Land. Hello Larry, Welcome to garden Line.

1186
01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Good morning. I've got some boxwoods that are deciding to

1187
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:19.440
<v Speaker 5>die on me. You know, they started getting yellow and

1188
01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:23.039
<v Speaker 5>then it becomes they're going.

1189
01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Mhm okay, Well, boxwoods have a lot of problems. I

1190
01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:34.840
<v Speaker 2>am becoming less and less a fan of boxwoods just

1191
01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:37.559
<v Speaker 2>due to some of the issues that they have in

1192
01:07:37.639 --> 01:07:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the soil. Nematodes attack the roots make them very inefficient.

1193
01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I posted something to Facebook Guardline Facebook. A good while back.

1194
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I dug some out in front of my house that

1195
01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't plant. Their previous owner planet I'm full of nematodes.

1196
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:54.840
<v Speaker 2>They have some soil borne diseases with fungal wilts is

1197
01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:56.159
<v Speaker 2>what they are. They get in the room in the

1198
01:07:56.199 --> 01:07:58.559
<v Speaker 2>plumbing of the plant and they cause it to decline.

1199
01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:03.840
<v Speaker 2>If you're looking at your plants over this progression, does

1200
01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:06.800
<v Speaker 2>it start off with like one branch goes down and

1201
01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>then other branches or does the whole bush go down

1202
01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>to kind of together at one time. No, it's progressive, aggressive, okay, Yeah,

1203
01:08:17.239 --> 01:08:20.239
<v Speaker 2>it could be those sections that are like that. Take

1204
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:23.079
<v Speaker 2>a knife and as they're dying before they're dry and

1205
01:08:23.159 --> 01:08:29.039
<v Speaker 2>dead and everything's brown, slice through the bark vertically, in

1206
01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:32.680
<v Speaker 2>other words, the length of the direction of the branch,

1207
01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and look underneath the surface. And if you see streaking

1208
01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:40.640
<v Speaker 2>of brown and gray, that kind of thing that is

1209
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>a fusarium or verticillium type of wilt that is affecting them.

1210
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>If you don't look down and look for splits or

1211
01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:51.439
<v Speaker 2>cankers on the branch. So you got a green bush

1212
01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:54.439
<v Speaker 2>and over this branch is now dying. Follow the dying

1213
01:08:54.520 --> 01:08:57.439
<v Speaker 2>down to where it joins the healthy and there should

1214
01:08:57.439 --> 01:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>be a canker or something right there. Larry, I'm gonna

1215
01:08:59.920 --> 01:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>have to run to a break on this. If you

01:10:04.760 --> 01:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>and on the air. I have to kind of move fast,

1238
01:10:07.560 --> 01:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>talk to us, meet people as I can. But when

1239
01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm there live you got me. I had I, so

1240
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:16.319
<v Speaker 2>come on out. Let's spend some time like that. I

1241
01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:20.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted to mention that Wildbirds still has their annual feeder

1242
01:10:21.039 --> 01:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>swap at all six locations. What does that mean? That

1243
01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:27.680
<v Speaker 2>means you find some feeder. You get one of your feeders,

1244
01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:31.119
<v Speaker 2>it's just falling apart, and no matter what condition it is,

1245
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:34.000
<v Speaker 2>you bring it in. Twenty percent off a new feeder

1246
01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:36.239
<v Speaker 2>when you trade in an old feeder, and they mean

1247
01:10:36.279 --> 01:10:40.239
<v Speaker 2>any feeder. Now that's at all six Wildbirds locations. You

1248
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:49.479
<v Speaker 2>can go online to WBU dot com wb U dot com,

1249
01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Forward Slash Houston, Forward Slash Houston. You'll find the six

1250
01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Wallbird stores. There's one near you. And when you go

1251
01:10:56.000 --> 01:10:57.399
<v Speaker 2>in there, in fact, I need to get back. I

1252
01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>just use up the last of my birds. C putting

1253
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:04.000
<v Speaker 2>some seed in my feeders and my mother in law's feeders. Yeah,

1254
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm in charge of stocking those two U and Wilbirds

1255
01:11:06.880 --> 01:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>has a best seed. When I say best, I mean

1256
01:11:09.000 --> 01:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>there's no junk. When you buy a pound of wildbird seed,

1257
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:13.159
<v Speaker 2>you get a pound of stuff that goes into a

1258
01:11:13.159 --> 01:11:16.039
<v Speaker 2>bird stummy. That's how that works. As opposed to getting

1259
01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:18.359
<v Speaker 2>kicked on the ground like cheap bird seeds often do

1260
01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:22.039
<v Speaker 2>wilbirds unlemited. Check them out. I'm gonna run back. Now.

1261
01:11:22.079 --> 01:11:25.399
<v Speaker 2>We were we were talking to Larry over about some

1262
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:29.239
<v Speaker 2>box woods, and Larry, uh, you do, I would do

1263
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:33.159
<v Speaker 2>that slicing and if you see the brown streaking in there, Uh,

1264
01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:37.079
<v Speaker 2>that is a soil disease. You can't do anything about uh.

1265
01:11:37.119 --> 01:11:40.279
<v Speaker 2>And so you just have to plant something other than

1266
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:43.399
<v Speaker 2>boxwood in that area. If you were to wash out

1267
01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:47.199
<v Speaker 2>some roots and you see and you see knots and root.

1268
01:11:49.640 --> 01:11:52.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay, that's the reason I wanted to hang on UH.

1269
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:56.359
<v Speaker 5>In the in the backyard, for example, we have some

1270
01:11:56.640 --> 01:12:00.359
<v Speaker 5>sunshine and la gustum that have done very well. But

1271
01:12:01.760 --> 01:12:03.800
<v Speaker 5>you know this is the front of the house where

1272
01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:07.760
<v Speaker 5>it's it's shaded. And so, yes, you got any suggestions

1273
01:12:07.800 --> 01:12:11.399
<v Speaker 5>for something that would replace the box foods.

1274
01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Uh. Dwarfyophon does pretty good in a shaded area. It's

1275
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>a native plant to our area and so it does

1276
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:21.479
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. But it likes sun. But it'll put up

1277
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:24.640
<v Speaker 2>with a little bit of shade. If how tall can

1278
01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:28.800
<v Speaker 2>the plant be? What's the top height in this for you?

1279
01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Limits it a lot. There are some hollies that are compact,

1280
01:12:35.279 --> 01:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>but two foot is pretty low. Uh, So that that

1281
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>would be that would be an option. You might go

1282
01:12:42.760 --> 01:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>with a taller groundcover if you're just looking for dark uh.

1283
01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:52.359
<v Speaker 2>The asparagus, fern, the foxtail types, they'll put up with

1284
01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:56.520
<v Speaker 2>some shade and they they stay down low. Uh, that

1285
01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:59.119
<v Speaker 2>would be one you might want to consider. But the

1286
01:12:59.159 --> 01:13:01.279
<v Speaker 2>other thing on the box would before we go, and

1287
01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I need to run to some other calls here, But

1288
01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:07.119
<v Speaker 2>before we go, the plant clinic at Texas A and

1289
01:13:07.319 --> 01:13:10.239
<v Speaker 2>M can analyze a plant and tell you what's wrong

1290
01:13:10.279 --> 01:13:12.800
<v Speaker 2>with it and what to do about it. And so

1291
01:13:12.880 --> 01:13:14.840
<v Speaker 2>we could sit here and guess, or you could, you know,

1292
01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:18.159
<v Speaker 2>cut it open and look and stuff. If you've got

1293
01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:21.439
<v Speaker 2>a plant that's dying, if you could dig it up,

1294
01:13:21.880 --> 01:13:23.800
<v Speaker 2>it still needs to be alive. In other words, it

1295
01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:26.880
<v Speaker 2>needs to be sick, not dead. Uh. And you you

1296
01:13:26.920 --> 01:13:29.319
<v Speaker 2>can drive it up to College Station or or you

1297
01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>know from your area. You may want to mail it,

1298
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:36.600
<v Speaker 2>but you go to plant Clinic dot T A m U,

1299
01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:39.319
<v Speaker 2>dot E ed U. Now they're going to charge a

1300
01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:43.279
<v Speaker 2>fee for that analysis, like any clinic would. But if

1301
01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:45.439
<v Speaker 2>you've got a whole bunch of them, it's very expensive

1302
01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:48.439
<v Speaker 2>to replace all those plants, so that fee is probably

1303
01:13:48.680 --> 01:13:51.680
<v Speaker 2>well worth it for you to consider. And Larry, I'm

1304
01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>sorry to have to run, but I need to need

1305
01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:54.079
<v Speaker 2>to head out.

1306
01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:57.439
<v Speaker 5>That's fine, I'll consider doing that. I appreciate it.

1307
01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, all right, sir, thank you, thanks for the call.

1308
01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate that you know. Microlife fertilizer has all these options,

1309
01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:15.439
<v Speaker 2>both dry granular fertilizers like their brown Patch and liquid fertilizers.

1310
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:19.239
<v Speaker 2>There's a seaweed, there's a fish emulsion type. There's one

1311
01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:24.640
<v Speaker 2>called biomatrix. It's outstanding. When you get Microlife products, you

1312
01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:29.760
<v Speaker 2>get microbes loaded in them, and microbes good microbes help

1313
01:14:29.880 --> 01:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>fight back bad microbes. They're one of the many factors

1314
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:37.760
<v Speaker 2>that we put together to create plant health. And so

1315
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:40.359
<v Speaker 2>for example, I would put down the brown patch now

1316
01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:43.640
<v Speaker 2>it's time. That's their fall fertilizer. It is loaded with

1317
01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:47.760
<v Speaker 2>microbes that help outcompete the brown patch on your turf.

1318
01:14:47.800 --> 01:14:51.479
<v Speaker 2>I would also put out micro Grow bioanoculant. That's a

1319
01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:57.640
<v Speaker 2>maroon colored bag, a burgundy colored bag. Micro Grow bio inoculant,

1320
01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:02.199
<v Speaker 2>sixty three different strains beneficial microbes. And I could spend

1321
01:15:02.239 --> 01:15:05.359
<v Speaker 2>the rest of today's show just talking about each of

1329
01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:35.319
<v Speaker 2>to Mac in Jersey Village. Hey Mac, Welcome to garden Line.

1330
01:15:35.319 --> 01:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>How can I help? Oh, good morning.

1331
01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:43.840
<v Speaker 17>About six months ago I started about eight hundred square

1332
01:15:43.840 --> 01:15:47.680
<v Speaker 17>foot area with San Augustine. A couple of months ago,

1333
01:15:47.760 --> 01:15:51.680
<v Speaker 17>started seeing brown patch. I put down a layer of

1334
01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:57.199
<v Speaker 17>compost top dressing from Nature's White. Seemed to help, but

1335
01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:02.000
<v Speaker 17>now it's come back week ago. I don't know if

1336
01:16:02.039 --> 01:16:05.520
<v Speaker 17>I did the right thing, but anyway, I sprayed with

1337
01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:10.039
<v Speaker 17>a hose and spray with bio advanced fungus control for lawns.

1338
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:13.960
<v Speaker 17>And then last week I heard you talk about the

1339
01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:19.600
<v Speaker 17>natural foss eagle. So yeah, I'm wondering can I put

1340
01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:23.560
<v Speaker 17>down the egle today because it's it's it's just just

1341
01:16:23.600 --> 01:16:26.840
<v Speaker 17>not I'm just not seeing anything any results.

1342
01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:28.479
<v Speaker 8>Well.

1343
01:16:28.600 --> 01:16:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh, And to manage a brown patch, you need to

1344
01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:38.199
<v Speaker 2>avoid over watering. Can't control the rain, but avoid over

1345
01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:43.520
<v Speaker 2>watering and avoid over fertilizing with nitrogen, which is important. Uh.

1346
01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:47.319
<v Speaker 2>You if you used you said what did you say, Uh,

1347
01:16:47.439 --> 01:16:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the it was what was the product you put on

1348
01:16:52.039 --> 01:16:57.359
<v Speaker 2>boid Advanced? I yeah, yeah, I think that has propacannasole

1349
01:16:57.399 --> 01:17:00.119
<v Speaker 2>in it, which is effective against brown patch. Uh. The

1350
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:02.359
<v Speaker 2>eagle is also effective, So you may want to just

1351
01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:04.600
<v Speaker 2>try that as an extra if it is just out

1352
01:17:04.640 --> 01:17:07.520
<v Speaker 2>of control. But just remember every area that's already brown

1353
01:17:07.640 --> 01:17:10.079
<v Speaker 2>is going to be brown till spring. You can't turn

1354
01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:13.119
<v Speaker 2>those around. Okay, okay, all right.

1355
01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:14.399
<v Speaker 5>All right, I'll see you.

1356
01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:18.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, take this way in, all right, I hope,

1357
01:17:18.119 --> 01:17:20.279
<v Speaker 2>so come on out. Yeah, look forward to that. Thanks

1358
01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:22.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot. We're going to have to go to a

1359
01:17:22.079 --> 01:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>break or sherry. Hang on just a minute. I'm going

1360
01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:27.319
<v Speaker 2>to try to get through the producer I think an

1361
01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:30.279
<v Speaker 2>answer to your question, and if that doesn't solve it,

1362
01:17:30.479 --> 01:17:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll talk to you when we get back after the

1363
01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:34.560
<v Speaker 2>top of the hour. News here, just hang on for

1364
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:38.039
<v Speaker 2>me one second. I want to remind everybody that I

1365
01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>am going to be at Nature's Way Resources today from

1366
01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:44.640
<v Speaker 2>eleven thirty to one thirty as part of their Fall Festival.

1367
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I officially designated this as a shindig. Shindig is an

1368
01:17:48.680 --> 01:17:51.000
<v Speaker 2>important word you need to have in your vocabulary that

1369
01:17:51.039 --> 01:17:54.439
<v Speaker 2>means we're going to have fun Latin food, plant sales,

1370
01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:57.479
<v Speaker 2>live music, kids activities. There'll be lots of venders there,

1371
01:17:57.800 --> 01:18:01.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'll be there answering your gardening questions, diagnosing. I

1372
01:18:01.079 --> 01:18:03.119
<v Speaker 2>even have some good handouts. They're going to give away

1373
01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:06.399
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty dollars gift certificate and some bags

1374
01:18:06.439 --> 01:18:09.840
<v Speaker 2>of their fine leaf mole compost.

1375
01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:13.079
<v Speaker 1>To Katie r h Garden Line with Skip Rickards.

1376
01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:31.119
<v Speaker 3>Just watch him as well.

1377
01:18:31.199 --> 01:18:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's just jump right back in here and get going again.

1378
01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:38.159
<v Speaker 2>We got a lot to talk about, so touch base

1379
01:18:38.239 --> 01:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>on a few things for you. I wanted to I

1380
01:18:40.640 --> 01:18:42.960
<v Speaker 2>haven't talked about Moss Nursery a lot lately, and I

1381
01:18:43.079 --> 01:18:48.000
<v Speaker 2>really wanted to mention that it is a destination place

1382
01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:50.279
<v Speaker 2>that you have to go. I don't care where you live.

1383
01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:53.359
<v Speaker 2>And I really mean that. You know, I talk about

1384
01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:56.960
<v Speaker 2>gardening tourism all the time, and uh, this would be

1385
01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:01.439
<v Speaker 2>an example. You know, Houston here, we've got garden centers north, south, east, West, Central,

1386
01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, really, we do garden centers that are worth

1387
01:19:04.199 --> 01:19:06.479
<v Speaker 2>taking your family to when they visit town. And certainly

1388
01:19:06.520 --> 01:19:10.079
<v Speaker 2>if you're a gardener, worth visiting, Moss is down there

1389
01:19:10.119 --> 01:19:13.279
<v Speaker 2>in Seabrook, Texas. It's on Toddville Road in Seabrook. Anyone

1390
01:19:13.279 --> 01:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>who lives in that region knows about Moss because it's

1391
01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:20.039
<v Speaker 2>been there a long time. A family garden center that

1392
01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is just a wonderland. It's you go and wander through

1393
01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:26.720
<v Speaker 2>and every time you turn a corner you see stuff

1394
01:19:26.720 --> 01:19:29.640
<v Speaker 2>you've never seen before, as well as all the familiar

1395
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:31.680
<v Speaker 2>things that you're looking for. You know when you go

1396
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:34.680
<v Speaker 2>to Moss Nursery you're going to find their houseplant greenhouse

1397
01:19:34.800 --> 01:19:40.359
<v Speaker 2>is incredible, incredible. Whether you like succulents or tropical foliage

1398
01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:43.720
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, they've got it. When you go to Moss Nursery,

1399
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:48.560
<v Speaker 2>they're containers. They every where you go there's piles of

1400
01:19:48.640 --> 01:19:51.680
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of unique, cool containers that you can put

1401
01:19:51.720 --> 01:19:54.319
<v Speaker 2>your plants in. That is a lot of fun just

1402
01:19:54.439 --> 01:19:58.399
<v Speaker 2>picking out something new to try out. Good supply of vegetables,

1403
01:19:58.479 --> 01:20:01.399
<v Speaker 2>good supply of annual color are for fall color right now.

1404
01:20:01.520 --> 01:20:03.560
<v Speaker 2>They are ready to go. They are loaded up and

1405
01:20:03.640 --> 01:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. Trees, shrubs, fruit, trees, anything you can imagine,

1406
01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:12.479
<v Speaker 2>not Moss Nursery is going to have it. And so

1407
01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>if you're looking for a special host plant for maybe

1408
01:20:14.920 --> 01:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>a room that's a little on the dark side and

1409
01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:18.439
<v Speaker 2>you need something that can put up with a little

1410
01:20:18.520 --> 01:20:21.640
<v Speaker 2>less light. Go by there and check it out. If

1411
01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:24.159
<v Speaker 2>you need any kind of products and supplies, they are

1412
01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:27.640
<v Speaker 2>stocked up as well. But when it comes to fall

1413
01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:31.640
<v Speaker 2>falls for planting, and Moss Nursery is forgetting everything that

1414
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:35.880
<v Speaker 2>you need to plant again. Moss Nursery dot com on

1415
01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Toddville Road in Seabrook. If you've never been there before, Hey,

1416
01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:43.039
<v Speaker 2>today be a good day this afternoon for an outing

1417
01:20:43.239 --> 01:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to run by Moss Nursery and check them out. I

1418
01:20:46.680 --> 01:20:49.319
<v Speaker 2>always like going in there. Jim goes on these trips

1419
01:20:49.359 --> 01:20:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and brings all kinds of stuff back, and there's no

1420
01:20:52.119 --> 01:20:56.239
<v Speaker 2>telling what you're going to find at Moss Nurse. I'm serious.

1421
01:20:57.399 --> 01:21:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Do you need a totem pole with carved faces in it? Yeah,

1422
01:21:00.640 --> 01:21:04.439
<v Speaker 2>they got those as well as everything else. It's kind

1423
01:21:04.439 --> 01:21:09.279
<v Speaker 2>of cool. I was talking about Ace hardware earlier and

1424
01:21:09.359 --> 01:21:13.079
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they have plenty of fire at baits available.

1425
01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:16.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, when we approach fire ants season, and this

1426
01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:19.199
<v Speaker 2>is a big fire ant season, you want to knock

1427
01:21:19.239 --> 01:21:21.560
<v Speaker 2>them down going into the winter. That's important. It gives

1428
01:21:21.560 --> 01:21:24.560
<v Speaker 2>you an upper hand coming out in spring, people use

1429
01:21:24.920 --> 01:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>usually use fire at mound controls, and those are fine.

1430
01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:32.600
<v Speaker 2>They work on that mound, but fire ants reproduce and

1431
01:21:32.680 --> 01:21:36.159
<v Speaker 2>they'll be somewhere else in the yard forming a new colony.

1432
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:38.079
<v Speaker 2>And it hadn't if you will boiled up to the

1433
01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:39.840
<v Speaker 2>surface where now you got dirt up on top of

1434
01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:42.079
<v Speaker 2>the ground. You know there's a fire at mount. They're

1435
01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:45.920
<v Speaker 2>not there yet. So if you just use mound treatments,

1436
01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:48.760
<v Speaker 2>you're playing whack a mole with fire ants. You kill

1437
01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:51.000
<v Speaker 2>this one, one pops up over here, You killed that one,

1438
01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:54.479
<v Speaker 2>one pops up over here. Baits cover all of it.

1439
01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Those mounds you can't see. They have workers. They have

1440
01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:00.319
<v Speaker 2>to feed themselves. They have workers that are out there

1441
01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:02.600
<v Speaker 2>getting food. And the food is the bait you put

1442
01:22:02.640 --> 01:22:06.399
<v Speaker 2>down laced with the firemant control product. There's organic bait,

1443
01:22:06.439 --> 01:22:09.479
<v Speaker 2>synthetic bait. You get your choice, just like individual mound treatment,

1444
01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you get a choice. Ace Hardware's got that covered. Every

1445
01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:16.079
<v Speaker 2>fall fertilizer that I've been harping on this fall is

1446
01:22:16.079 --> 01:22:18.880
<v Speaker 2>at Ace Hardware. They have them all and then some

1447
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:22.239
<v Speaker 2>anything you need. When you hear me talk about controlling

1448
01:22:22.279 --> 01:22:26.039
<v Speaker 2>your lawn weeds with barricade, pre emergent. When you hear

1449
01:22:26.079 --> 01:22:28.880
<v Speaker 2>me talk about Eagle turf, funge aside, and any other

1450
01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:31.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of product, it's there at ACE Hardware store. Ace

1451
01:22:31.840 --> 01:22:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Hardware is easy to get because there's forty of them.

1452

1453
01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and there you go, and allow yourself a little time

1454
01:22:42.399 --> 01:22:43.800
<v Speaker 2>when you go in there, because you're gonna see a

1455
01:22:43.840 --> 01:22:45.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of cool stuff. You're gonna walk through Ace Hardware

<v Speaker 2>gift for you. Fell in the blank. It is, it is.

1458
01:22:52.119 --> 01:22:54.960
<v Speaker 2>It is really cool to go into an Ace Hardware store.

1459
01:22:55.119 --> 01:22:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Plus the fact that you know when you go, you're

1460
01:22:57.079 --> 01:22:59.079
<v Speaker 2>going to get the things you hear me talk about

01:22:59.119 --> 01:23:03.000
<v Speaker 2>on guarden Line. I'm gonna head over to Humble now

1462

<v Speaker 2>I good, sir?

1467
01:23:10.720 --> 01:23:12.560
<v Speaker 8>Have I have an.

1468
01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:17.159
<v Speaker 18>Issue with twenty year old like gustrooms in it. All

1469
01:23:17.199 --> 01:23:19.640
<v Speaker 18>of a sudden they seem to be wilting on me

1470
01:23:20.439 --> 01:23:23.600
<v Speaker 18>Because we've had drier weather, I've turned up the water.

1471
01:23:23.640 --> 01:23:28.199
<v Speaker 18>I think I may have exacerbated the problem. So at

1472
01:23:28.199 --> 01:23:30.399
<v Speaker 18>this point I'm trying to figure out.

1473
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:31.079
<v Speaker 5>What to do.

1474
01:23:31.840 --> 01:23:33.880
<v Speaker 19>You know, do I do I shove the water off

1475
01:23:33.920 --> 01:23:37.600
<v Speaker 19>on them? Or do I? Is there is there something

1476
01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:40.439
<v Speaker 19>that you know? Maybe there's there's something going on in

1477
01:23:40.439 --> 01:23:45.079
<v Speaker 19>in the upper northeast Houston area in the soil that

1478
01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:47.359
<v Speaker 19>that's new this year that hasn't been around.

1479
01:23:47.479 --> 01:23:49.720
<v Speaker 18>So I'm kind of picking your brain on those.

1480
01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the gustrooms are pretty resilient when it comes to

1481
01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:56.520
<v Speaker 2>root issues. We don't have a lot of them. If

1482
01:23:56.520 --> 01:24:00.960
<v Speaker 2>they've been there twenty years, it's unlikely that some root

1483
01:24:01.039 --> 01:24:04.479
<v Speaker 2>rot just showed up overnight, you know, to hit your leagustrooms.

1484
01:24:04.840 --> 01:24:06.880
<v Speaker 2>It's probably a soule moisture issue.

1485
01:24:06.960 --> 01:24:07.119
<v Speaker 8>Now.

1486
01:24:07.159 --> 01:24:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Too much water, the roots can't get oxygen, and roots

1487
01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:12.560
<v Speaker 2>that can't get oxygen dye and roots that are dead

1488
01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:14.479
<v Speaker 2>can't take up water. So it's kind of weird. But

1489
01:24:14.560 --> 01:24:17.399
<v Speaker 2>you can have a plant standing in standing water that's

1490
01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:21.720
<v Speaker 2>wilted for that reason, which is kind of weird. But

1491
01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:24.279
<v Speaker 2>it could be too dry too. I would get a

1492
01:24:24.319 --> 01:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>trial dig down about three or four inches and feel

1493
01:24:27.199 --> 01:24:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the soil. See what you think, you know? Is it

1494
01:24:29.880 --> 01:24:33.319
<v Speaker 2>too wet or is it not wet enough? I'll tell

1495
01:24:33.319 --> 01:24:36.880
<v Speaker 2>you this, I know you know telling somebody. To replace

1496
01:24:36.880 --> 01:24:41.279
<v Speaker 2>a whole bunch of shrubs means money, right, and time

1497
01:24:41.359 --> 01:24:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and effort. But lagustrum, in my opinion, is not a

1498
01:24:45.720 --> 01:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>great long term shrub. It has some issues. You probably

1499
01:24:49.800 --> 01:24:52.560
<v Speaker 2>have seen leaf spots on your lagustriums. I was at

1500
01:24:52.560 --> 01:24:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a house just yesterday looking at some shrubs and the

1501
01:24:56.680 --> 01:25:00.279
<v Speaker 2>leaves were just yellow spots all over them. Is a

1502
01:25:00.319 --> 01:25:04.079
<v Speaker 2>disease that plagues lagustriums, and the only way around it

1503
01:25:04.119 --> 01:25:06.199
<v Speaker 2>is to rake up all the leaves and spray every

1504
01:25:06.199 --> 01:25:08.560
<v Speaker 2>time it rains. When the when the rain stops, you

1505
01:25:08.600 --> 01:25:10.239
<v Speaker 2>go out and spray. And nobody almost have to do

1506
01:25:10.319 --> 01:25:14.600
<v Speaker 2>that to shrubs. Lagustrooms get big and overtime they outgrow

1507
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:16.920
<v Speaker 2>and then they get thin underneath. They got foliage on

1508
01:25:16.960 --> 01:25:22.920
<v Speaker 2>top of it, not underneath, And so I would no,

1509
01:25:23.439 --> 01:25:26.439
<v Speaker 2>I know, but I know lagustriums and that's exactly what

1510
01:25:26.520 --> 01:25:29.399
<v Speaker 2>they do. And so I guess you know you're you're

1511
01:25:29.399 --> 01:25:31.640
<v Speaker 2>calling me about them wilting, and I'm saying, hey, why

1512
01:25:31.680 --> 01:25:34.399
<v Speaker 2>not replace them. There's a lot of great shrubs out there,

1513
01:25:34.439 --> 01:25:37.319
<v Speaker 2>and falls the best planning season, so you know you

1514
01:25:37.319 --> 01:25:39.439
<v Speaker 2>don't have to do it, but it's your yard. But

1515
01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:42.279
<v Speaker 2>this would be kind of a moment where it might

1516
01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:45.319
<v Speaker 2>be good to decide, why don't I try something different?

1517
01:25:45.479 --> 01:25:47.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, maybe the area has grown more shady over

1518
01:25:47.840 --> 01:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>time in those twenty years. Maybe, I don't know. You

1519
01:25:52.039 --> 01:25:55.199
<v Speaker 2>fill in the blank after the word maybe. But there

1520
01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:57.520
<v Speaker 2>could be other reasons why a different shrub would do

1521
01:25:57.600 --> 01:25:58.520
<v Speaker 2>better there as well.

1522
01:25:59.720 --> 01:26:05.439
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, well, Greg, hang on they.

1523
01:26:07.319 --> 01:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I was just reading a quote. You know, I love

1524
01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:14.039
<v Speaker 2>gardening quotes. Feel free to send me gardening quotes and

1525
01:26:14.079 --> 01:26:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I collect them. And I just read one that said

1526
01:26:16.560 --> 01:26:20.119
<v Speaker 2>that which people sow, they shall also reap. You've heard

1527
01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:23.119
<v Speaker 2>that before, right, does not always apply to the pictures

1528
01:26:23.159 --> 01:26:31.079
<v Speaker 2>on seed packets. That is true. I have been there, right. Hey,

1529
01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:34.079
<v Speaker 2>gardening is for fun, guys. You got to laugh at

1530
01:26:34.119 --> 01:26:37.520
<v Speaker 2>yourself sometimes. And I'll tell you this. To be a

1531
01:26:37.520 --> 01:26:39.520
<v Speaker 2>good horticulture, she got to kill a lot of plants,

1532
01:26:39.760 --> 01:26:43.760
<v Speaker 2>so have fun. Get out there. We don't kill plants

1533
01:26:43.760 --> 01:26:47.039
<v Speaker 2>on purpose, but hey, man, things happen, right, things go wrong.

1534
01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:50.239
<v Speaker 2>It's okay. That's why we have spades and rototillers. You

1535
01:26:50.319 --> 01:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>can always do it again. You can always try again.

1536
01:26:52.560 --> 01:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>You always learn and get better. That's true. And I

1537
01:26:57.039 --> 01:27:00.439
<v Speaker 2>guess that's the thought for the day. Something like that.

1538
01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Medina Products out in Hondo, Texas, has been probably the

1539
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:11.560
<v Speaker 2>longest term sponsor of Guardenline that we've had. Medina Products

1540
01:27:11.600 --> 01:27:14.359
<v Speaker 2>are well known all over the state and really beyond

1541
01:27:14.399 --> 01:27:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Texas as well, because they have great products. They have

1542
01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:20.720
<v Speaker 2>products that work really well. One that I think you

1543
01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:23.640
<v Speaker 2>ought to give a good hard look at and actually

1544
01:27:23.680 --> 01:27:28.039
<v Speaker 2>get some in use this fall is Medina Plus. Now

1545
01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Medina Plus. It's fortified with essential micro nutrients, those little

1546
01:27:33.640 --> 01:27:36.680
<v Speaker 2>small things that you need, the things that you need

1547
01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:40.880
<v Speaker 2>in small quantities rather in order for plants to succeed.

1548
01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:44.720
<v Speaker 2>It's got growth hormones from seaweed extract in it. It's

1549
01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:47.000
<v Speaker 2>an excellent fol of your feed. You're not going to

1550
01:27:47.000 --> 01:27:48.880
<v Speaker 2>burn your plants with it. So you got a tree,

1551
01:27:48.880 --> 01:27:51.640
<v Speaker 2>a shrub, a lawn, Yes, you can put in a

1552
01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:55.239
<v Speaker 2>hose in use it on your lawn. It has Medina

1553
01:27:55.279 --> 01:27:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Soil Activator in it, the standard original product there, but

1554
01:27:58.880 --> 01:28:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Medina Plus also has forty trace elements. It's got natural

1555
01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:06.000
<v Speaker 2>growth hormones. As I said, it's got a number of

1556
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:09.760
<v Speaker 2>different vitamin type materials that all are part of the

1557
01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:14.039
<v Speaker 2>concoction that makes Medina Plus work. It's going to increase

1558
01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:16.680
<v Speaker 2>blooming and leaf growth. It's going to promote fruit. Set

1559
01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:21.079
<v Speaker 2>on things that produce fruit. If you're going to do transplanting,

1560
01:28:21.680 --> 01:28:23.720
<v Speaker 2>you need to get some. Just mix it up, follow

1561
01:28:23.760 --> 01:28:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the label. Mix it up, put it in a watering can.

1562
01:28:27.279 --> 01:28:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Put that plant in the ground and water it in

1563
01:28:30.279 --> 01:28:32.960
<v Speaker 2>really well. Then fill up the soil around that plant

1564
01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:38.760
<v Speaker 2>and water it in again with Medina Soil Activator. Medina

1565
01:28:38.760 --> 01:28:42.760
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, Medina plus that contains Medina Soil Activator. You

1566
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:45.039
<v Speaker 2>are going to be able to soak seeds in it

1567
01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and help them a lot of the things in it

1568
01:28:47.800 --> 01:28:50.159
<v Speaker 2>will be helpful for that seed as it begins to sprout.

1569
01:28:50.399 --> 01:28:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I would water my little seedlings when I'm trying to

1570
01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:55.760
<v Speaker 2>get them to come up, and as they sprout, water

1571
01:28:55.760 --> 01:28:59.079
<v Speaker 2>them again with Medina Plus. Again, it's got a lot

1572
01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:02.720
<v Speaker 2>of uses very and like other products from the folks

1573
01:29:02.760 --> 01:29:07.119
<v Speaker 2>at Medina, it's gonna work. You were listening to garden Line.

1574
01:29:07.439 --> 01:29:08.800
<v Speaker 2>My phone number if you'd like to give me a

1575
01:29:08.840 --> 01:29:13.760
<v Speaker 2>call seven one three two one two kt RH seven

1576
01:29:13.840 --> 01:29:18.439
<v Speaker 2>one three two to one two kt r H. When

1577
01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:21.319
<v Speaker 2>was the last time you went to Enchenned forest out

1578
01:29:21.359 --> 01:29:23.720
<v Speaker 2>there in the Richmond Rosenberg area. You know, if you're

1579
01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:26.880
<v Speaker 2>in Richmond, h and you're heading towards sugar Land. It's

1580
01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:30.279
<v Speaker 2>off to the right. It's on FM twenty seven fifty

1581
01:29:30.359 --> 01:29:35.000
<v Speaker 2>nine F twenty seven fifty nine. Enchanted Forest is the

1582
01:29:35.039 --> 01:29:35.760
<v Speaker 2>garden center.

1583
01:29:35.880 --> 01:29:36.079
<v Speaker 5>Now.

1584
01:29:36.479 --> 01:29:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I like in Chenned Forest. In fact, I love it.

1585
01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:42.079
<v Speaker 2>It's always exciting to go there because there's always new

1586
01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:46.159
<v Speaker 2>things right now. The color, it's color galore all over

1587
01:29:46.199 --> 01:29:50.039
<v Speaker 2>that place. Uh. They are loaded up with pumpkins and moms.

1588
01:29:50.039 --> 01:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>They got all their fall veggies in. They have shrubs

1589
01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:57.520
<v Speaker 2>for the shade of shrubs per sun. They've got trees

1590
01:29:57.600 --> 01:30:00.600
<v Speaker 2>like holly's and oaks and maples and the Chinese, just

1591
01:30:00.640 --> 01:30:02.039
<v Speaker 2>to name a few of the trees that they have

1592
01:30:02.079 --> 01:30:04.600
<v Speaker 2>in there. By the way, if you're gonna plant a

1593
01:30:04.640 --> 01:30:07.319
<v Speaker 2>shrubber a tree, do it or a woody vine, do

1594
01:30:07.439 --> 01:30:09.800
<v Speaker 2>it this fall. It's also good time to plant perennials,

1595
01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:13.439
<v Speaker 2>but especially for those woody ornamentals. If you get them

1596
01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:17.840
<v Speaker 2>done in late October and November, you're going to have

1597
01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:22.239
<v Speaker 2>way head start over next summer's heat and stress on

1598
01:30:22.279 --> 01:30:26.760
<v Speaker 2>our plants. Now, they also have Chinese fringe, and I

1599
01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:29.479
<v Speaker 2>if you've never seen or grown Chinese fringe, you need

1600
01:30:29.520 --> 01:30:33.000
<v Speaker 2>to I like it because it's not so huge as

1601
01:30:33.039 --> 01:30:35.800
<v Speaker 2>big shade trees. So a lot of our lotz these

1602
01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:39.000
<v Speaker 2>days aren't huge like they used to be in many

1603
01:30:39.079 --> 01:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>decades past. Chinese fringe fits that it bloom's ever spring

1604
01:30:43.079 --> 01:30:45.600
<v Speaker 2>with shaggy, fragrant ballooms, and they've got them in a

1605
01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:47.920
<v Speaker 2>chanet for us to go buy, talk to them. Do

1606
01:30:48.079 --> 01:30:50.600
<v Speaker 2>look google around, look at look at that thing online

1607
01:30:50.600 --> 01:30:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and see what I'm talking about. It is awesome. We

1608
01:30:53.239 --> 01:30:55.479
<v Speaker 2>used to have a Chinese fringe at the extension office

1609
01:30:55.800 --> 01:30:58.800
<v Speaker 2>in Bear Creek Park before two floods pretty much put

1610
01:30:58.840 --> 01:31:01.239
<v Speaker 2>an end to that whole thing. But it was it

1611
01:31:01.319 --> 01:31:04.159
<v Speaker 2>was huge, bigger than any Chinese friends I've ever seen.

1612
01:31:04.199 --> 01:31:07.239
<v Speaker 2>It's probably twenty five feet high something like that.

1613
01:31:07.319 --> 01:31:07.600
<v Speaker 8>It was.

1614
01:31:07.680 --> 01:31:10.399
<v Speaker 2>It was big. It's beautiful, maybe even a little larger

1615
01:31:10.479 --> 01:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>that that took a long time to reach that. By

1616

<v Speaker 2>the way, today and in Channon Forest, Deston, my friend

01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:36.520
<v Speaker 2>see me. You have to all you have to do

1624
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:39.239
<v Speaker 2>is drive all the way up to Nature's Way up

1625
01:31:39.279 --> 01:31:44.279
<v Speaker 2>in Conroe. But hey, road time, windshield time, right, Uh yeah,

1626
01:31:44.359 --> 01:31:47.520
<v Speaker 2>in Chenny Forest's a great place. I love to do that.

1627
01:31:48.199 --> 01:31:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I had someone talking to me the other day about landscaping,

1628
01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:53.039
<v Speaker 2>and I was telling them things they should do, and

1629
01:31:53.119 --> 01:31:56.079
<v Speaker 2>I could tell you know, when you're telling somebody something

1630
01:31:56.479 --> 01:31:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know that they are politely listening, but they

1631
01:31:59.039 --> 01:32:02.760
<v Speaker 2>have absolutely no intention of doing what you're suggesting. I

1632
01:32:02.760 --> 01:32:04.239
<v Speaker 2>can see it in the eye, just like when I

1633
01:32:04.279 --> 01:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>go into a place to shop and I ask someone

1634
01:32:07.680 --> 01:32:10.119
<v Speaker 2>who works there a question, and with the first few

1635
01:32:10.159 --> 01:32:12.560
<v Speaker 2>words out of my mouth, I can just tell you

1636
01:32:14.399 --> 01:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>they have no idea. They're not going to give me

1637
01:32:17.039 --> 01:32:18.800
<v Speaker 2>an accurate answer. They're going to give me an answer.

1638
01:32:18.840 --> 01:32:20.800
<v Speaker 2>They're going to talk for a while, but I might

1639
01:32:20.800 --> 01:32:22.760
<v Speaker 2>as well go, Thank you very much. I'm already done

1640
01:32:22.760 --> 01:32:25.359
<v Speaker 2>before I finished answering the question. Well, anyway, I was

1641
01:32:25.399 --> 01:32:27.600
<v Speaker 2>talking to someone and I knew they weren't going to

1642
01:32:27.640 --> 01:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>do what they're gonna do because they just weren't interested

1643
01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:32.439
<v Speaker 2>in getting out and digging holes and planting drubs and

1644
01:32:32.479 --> 01:32:37.439
<v Speaker 2>doing some things. And I have an answer for that. Peerscapes.

1645
01:32:37.800 --> 01:32:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Call Peerscapes. Peerscapes makes magic out of your landscape. I

1646
01:32:43.640 --> 01:32:47.560
<v Speaker 2>don't care if you have a bed that I need

1647
01:32:47.560 --> 01:32:51.760
<v Speaker 2>to replace it with some drought hardy, disease resistant shrubs

1648
01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:53.239
<v Speaker 2>and things so I don't have to worry about them.

1649
01:32:53.359 --> 01:32:56.560
<v Speaker 2>That's what my conversation was about. By the way, well

01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:04.840
<v Speaker 2>in the blank cal pier scapes. That makes it real simple,

1670
01:34:04.960 --> 01:34:10.319
<v Speaker 2>real easy. I was visiting with some of their designers

1671
01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:12.960
<v Speaker 2>a good while back, just talking to them about plants

1672
01:34:13.319 --> 01:34:15.399
<v Speaker 2>and design and things, and looking at all the things

1673
01:34:15.439 --> 01:34:18.000
<v Speaker 2>they had out, you know, these beautiful landscape designs that

1674
01:34:18.039 --> 01:34:21.159
<v Speaker 2>they had done. It's just like, Yeah, I'm impressed with

1675
01:34:21.239 --> 01:34:24.880
<v Speaker 2>these Folks'll tell you what. Let's go out to clear

1676
01:34:25.159 --> 01:34:27.920
<v Speaker 2>like and we are going to talk to Jim. Hello, Jim,

1677
01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to garden Line. Good morning Skip.

1678
01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:34.279
<v Speaker 20>I was out in the yard about two three weeks,

1679
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:36.760
<v Speaker 20>right at the end of September, and I put my

1680
01:34:37.359 --> 01:34:41.600
<v Speaker 20>herbicide down and I did a really light brown patch feeding.

1681
01:34:41.680 --> 01:34:46.520
<v Speaker 20>But the bag says twenty pounds per thousand square feet.

1682
01:34:46.640 --> 01:34:50.399
<v Speaker 20>My yard's about twenty three hundred square feet. I'm wondering

1683
01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:52.640
<v Speaker 20>if it would be all right put the rest of

1684
01:34:52.680 --> 01:34:55.039
<v Speaker 20>that down on the on the lawn.

1685
01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Now do you remember what the product was you used?

1686
01:35:00.039 --> 01:35:00.600
<v Speaker 11>Brown patch?

1687
01:35:02.199 --> 01:35:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the microlife brown patch right? Yes? No, no.

1688
01:35:09.720 --> 01:35:11.800
<v Speaker 20>At the time I put the herbicide down, I put

1689
01:35:11.920 --> 01:35:17.640
<v Speaker 20>a real light uh yeah, application, and I want to

1690
01:35:17.640 --> 01:35:18.560
<v Speaker 20>finish up the bag.

1691
01:35:18.640 --> 01:35:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Now do you have brown patch currently in your lawn?

1692
01:35:23.520 --> 01:35:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you see the circles?

1693
01:35:25.479 --> 01:35:25.560
<v Speaker 5>No?

1694
01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yes, I do? Okay, good, okay, well, yes, a

1695
01:35:32.199 --> 01:35:35.279
<v Speaker 2>s A P. I would get that done because once

1696
01:35:35.359 --> 01:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>the disease infects, it's hard even with you know, chemical

1697
01:35:40.560 --> 01:35:44.359
<v Speaker 2>fungicides to kill the disease in the in the grass.

1698
01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:47.000
<v Speaker 2>It's better to be ahead of it. And the microlife

1699
01:35:47.079 --> 01:35:50.680
<v Speaker 2>is going to work by populating the exterior of the

1700
01:35:50.680 --> 01:35:55.359
<v Speaker 2>grass plant parts with the microbes that help not only

1701
01:35:55.439 --> 01:35:57.920
<v Speaker 2>fight against the disease, but we way I put it

1702
01:35:57.960 --> 01:36:00.800
<v Speaker 2>is create a hostile environment for diseases trying to land

1703
01:36:00.800 --> 01:36:03.960
<v Speaker 2>because you've got such a proliferation of good microbes that

1704
01:36:04.000 --> 01:36:07.279
<v Speaker 2>are in the spot. So I would, yes, I would

1705
01:36:07.279 --> 01:36:11.479
<v Speaker 2>definitely get it on. You might you might, you know,

1706
01:36:11.520 --> 01:36:13.199
<v Speaker 2>as I think about it, you might want to use

1707
01:36:13.359 --> 01:36:19.239
<v Speaker 2>their bioinoculant. It's called it's micro grow bioinoculant that has

1708
01:36:19.279 --> 01:36:23.560
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of different groups of microbes as well.

1709
01:36:23.640 --> 01:36:25.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's something that you could also put out there

1710
01:36:26.159 --> 01:36:27.760
<v Speaker 2>on it if you want to stay, if you want

1711
01:36:27.800 --> 01:36:29.479
<v Speaker 2>to stay toward the organic end.

1712
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:33.680
<v Speaker 20>Okay, and so I can do the bio inoculator and

1713
01:36:33.720 --> 01:36:34.840
<v Speaker 20>the brown patch together.

1714
01:36:36.319 --> 01:36:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the bioinoculator is not a fertilizer. It's it's a

1715
01:36:41.119 --> 01:36:44.960
<v Speaker 2>product that just puts all these different kinds of extra

1716
01:36:45.039 --> 01:36:48.479
<v Speaker 2>microbes out there and you watered in really good both

1717
01:36:48.520 --> 01:36:50.680
<v Speaker 2>of them. You can apply them both. Don't put them

1718
01:36:50.680 --> 01:36:53.960
<v Speaker 2>in the same hopper. It's always better to apply products

1719
01:36:54.520 --> 01:36:56.279
<v Speaker 2>one at a time. You can do it at the

1720
01:36:56.279 --> 01:36:59.760
<v Speaker 2>same time, same day, you know, same hour, but just

1721
01:37:00.359 --> 01:37:03.119
<v Speaker 2>and then water men really good. That'll give your grass

1722
01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:06.760
<v Speaker 2>the hopefully there's not too much infection that's already occurring

1723
01:37:06.800 --> 01:37:09.680
<v Speaker 2>that you're not seeing. Uh, but if you're going to

1724
01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:12.199
<v Speaker 2>stay on the organic end, that would be the approach

1725
01:37:12.319 --> 01:37:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to take.

1726
01:37:13.840 --> 01:37:17.880
<v Speaker 20>Alrighty well, thank you very much, have a great weekend, all.

1727
01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Right, Jim, thanks a lot, appreciate your call. You are

01:37:45.680 --> 01:37:49.079
<v Speaker 2>to drop. The color that they have, the plants that

1735
01:37:49.119 --> 01:37:52.920
<v Speaker 2>they have in the decorations, the fall. The gift shops

1738

<v Speaker 2>go to visit someone for Thanksgiving, take them a plant

01:38:00.960 --> 01:38:04.439
<v Speaker 2>from Arbigate. Take them a gift from Arbrogate. When you

1740
01:38:04.479 --> 01:38:07.960
<v Speaker 2>go to Arbigate. You know my broken record, mantra brown

1741
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:12.119
<v Speaker 2>stuff before green stuff. Grab a bag of organic food complete,

1742
01:38:12.479 --> 01:38:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Organic soil complete, and organic compost complete. Those are three

1743
01:38:16.720 --> 01:38:19.920
<v Speaker 2>different things. They contain the nutrients that plants need for

1744
01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:24.239
<v Speaker 2>the roots, they contain the soil contains expanded jail as well,

1745
01:38:24.399 --> 01:38:27.720
<v Speaker 2>so does the organic compass complete. It's three bags. You

1746
01:38:27.880 --> 01:38:31.319
<v Speaker 2>put those three bags in the ground, follow the label

1747
01:38:31.520 --> 01:38:33.520
<v Speaker 2>and then put your plants in the ground. Or you

1748
01:38:33.520 --> 01:38:35.920
<v Speaker 2>can use a fertilizer later. But you've got to take

1749
01:38:35.960 --> 01:38:38.960
<v Speaker 2>care of the foundation so those plants will succeed in Boy,

<v Speaker 2>your questions. By the way, another reminder, I'm going to

1757
01:39:03.239 --> 01:39:06.039
<v Speaker 2>be at the Fall Festival speaking of answering your questions

1758
01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:10.199
<v Speaker 2>at Nature's Way resources up in Conra. So if you're

1759
01:39:10.239 --> 01:39:14.439
<v Speaker 2>heading up Interstate forty five toward Conra from Houston where

1760
01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:17.960
<v Speaker 2>fourteen eighty eight comes in, this is going north from

1761
01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:22.439
<v Speaker 2>the left fourteen eighty eight from Magnolia, you turn right,

1762
01:39:22.560 --> 01:39:25.199
<v Speaker 2>cross over the railroad tracks and then turn right again

1763
01:39:25.359 --> 01:39:28.039
<v Speaker 2>and you're at Nature's Way. That's how you get there. Now,

1764
01:39:28.079 --> 01:39:30.920
<v Speaker 2>they're going to have their Fall Festival, which I think

1765
01:39:30.920 --> 01:39:34.159
<v Speaker 2>should be called the Fall Shindig because it is a shindig,

1766
01:39:34.199 --> 01:39:38.119
<v Speaker 2>which means we're going to have fun, children's activities, live music.

1767
01:39:38.199 --> 01:39:41.239
<v Speaker 2>There's going to be local vendors there, plant sales and things.

1768
01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:45.279
<v Speaker 2>They'll have some Latin food, and I'll be there answering

1769
01:39:45.279 --> 01:39:48.159
<v Speaker 2>your gardening questions. The whole event is nine am to

1770
01:39:48.199 --> 01:39:51.119
<v Speaker 2>two pm. I'll be there from eleven thirty to one thirty,

1771
01:39:51.159 --> 01:39:53.680
<v Speaker 2>so basically kind of over the noon hour time doing

1772
01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Q and I. You can bring me questions, bring me

1773
01:39:55.960 --> 01:40:00.880
<v Speaker 2>samples for identity, for diagnosis. I can even perform last

1774
01:40:00.920 --> 01:40:03.840
<v Speaker 2>rites on dead plants, but that won't accomplish anything for them,

1775
01:40:04.239 --> 01:40:06.560
<v Speaker 2>but you know, we got to catch them before they die.

1776
01:40:07.319 --> 01:40:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Seriously joking aside, We're gonna have a good time and

1777
01:40:10.359 --> 01:40:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I hope you can make it. And while you're at

1778
01:40:12.079 --> 01:40:14.239
<v Speaker 2>at Nature's Way, make sure you got room in the

1779
01:40:14.239 --> 01:40:16.880
<v Speaker 2>car the pickup, bring a trailer if you need to

1780
01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:19.279
<v Speaker 2>pick up some of the quality resources that they have.

1781
01:40:20.159 --> 01:40:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Nature's Ways been doing quality soil resources for a very

1782
01:40:25.279 --> 01:40:27.760
<v Speaker 2>long time. Many of the things we talk about all

1783
01:40:27.800 --> 01:40:30.359
<v Speaker 2>the time now on garden Line we're born at Nature's Way,

1784
01:40:31.199 --> 01:40:35.880
<v Speaker 2>such as rose soil such as a leaf mold, composts

1785
01:40:35.880 --> 01:40:38.920
<v Speaker 2>for example. And I could I could mention others, but anyway,

1786
01:40:39.039 --> 01:40:41.279
<v Speaker 2>come on out and see me today over the eleven

1787
01:40:41.359 --> 01:40:44.279
<v Speaker 2>thirty to one thirty I'll be there and Junior Gardening.

1788
01:40:44.359 --> 01:40:47.000
<v Speaker 2>You can bring samples and also bring pictures on your

1789
01:40:47.000 --> 01:40:51.640
<v Speaker 2>phone to that works just as well if you've if

1790
01:40:51.680 --> 01:40:55.880
<v Speaker 2>you have struggled in the past falls with diseases like

1791
01:40:56.199 --> 01:41:00.119
<v Speaker 2>large patch brown patch. If you've dealt in past spring

1792
01:41:00.279 --> 01:41:04.119
<v Speaker 2>with the proliferation of cool season weeds, and if your

1793
01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:09.239
<v Speaker 2>lawn just struggles at times, nitrofoss has got you covered.

1794
01:41:09.399 --> 01:41:11.439
<v Speaker 2>They got something called the Texas three step.

1795
01:41:11.479 --> 01:41:11.520
<v Speaker 5>No.

1796
01:41:11.720 --> 01:41:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Remember you do the two step on a dance floor,

1797
01:41:13.760 --> 01:41:16.119
<v Speaker 2>you do the three step on your lawn. The three

1798
01:41:16.159 --> 01:41:20.479
<v Speaker 2>step is Fall special wind riser. That's the fertilizer, perfect

1799
01:41:20.640 --> 01:41:25.520
<v Speaker 2>blend for fall. The three step is nitropos barricade to

1800
01:41:25.680 --> 01:41:28.279
<v Speaker 2>prevent weeds. Get it down as soon as you can

1801
01:41:28.359 --> 01:41:30.560
<v Speaker 2>now call it's going to take is a coal front

1802
01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:33.159
<v Speaker 2>and some raine and we're gonna have cool season weeds

1803
01:41:33.199 --> 01:41:35.640
<v Speaker 2>germinating and you will get to pay for that and

1804
01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:38.439
<v Speaker 2>fall if you don't stop them now. And the three

1805
01:41:38.479 --> 01:41:42.399
<v Speaker 2>step is Eagle turf fungicide a head of brown patch

1806
01:41:42.520 --> 01:41:45.840
<v Speaker 2>infecting so that when that disease or take all root

1807
01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:48.680
<v Speaker 2>rout for that matter, tries to infect and cause damage

1808
01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:52.159
<v Speaker 2>to your lawn. The fungicide, the systemic fungicide is there

1809
01:41:52.439 --> 01:41:56.239
<v Speaker 2>three steps, Fall special Barricade, Eagle turf fungicide. You can

1810
01:41:56.279 --> 01:41:58.439
<v Speaker 2>find it in a chanted forest in Richmond. You can

1811
01:41:58.520 --> 01:42:01.399
<v Speaker 2>find it at a Hardware City Memorial Drive, at Gym's

1812
01:42:01.399 --> 01:42:06.119
<v Speaker 2>hardburd Montgomery, and at the Stantons shopping Center down in Alvin.

1813
01:42:07.640 --> 01:42:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Let's head back to the phones. We're going to go

1814
01:42:09.319 --> 01:42:12.239
<v Speaker 2>to Bay City now and talk to Keith. Hello, Keith,

1815
01:42:12.319 --> 01:42:13.920
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden Line.

1816
01:42:14.359 --> 01:42:16.880
<v Speaker 21>Morning, Rick, Thanks for taking my call. Hey, I've got

1817
01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:21.119
<v Speaker 21>a highbiscus. I've headed my house for probably eight or

1818
01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:22.000
<v Speaker 21>nine years.

1819
01:42:22.319 --> 01:42:23.600
<v Speaker 18>It's been a beautiful plant.

1820
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:26.720
<v Speaker 21>Every year it would grow up to at least six,

1821
01:42:26.840 --> 01:42:31.319
<v Speaker 21>maybe even eight foot tall ballooms all over it. This

1822
01:42:31.479 --> 01:42:35.039
<v Speaker 21>year it's knee high, and once in a while we'll

1823
01:42:35.039 --> 01:42:37.000
<v Speaker 21>get one or two balloons and that's it.

1824
01:42:40.600 --> 01:42:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Huh. Getting plenty of sunlight.

1825
01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:46.880
<v Speaker 21>Uh, it's on the east side of the house and

1826
01:42:46.920 --> 01:42:50.119
<v Speaker 21>it gets sun for you know, till probably one.

1827
01:42:50.000 --> 01:42:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Or two o'clock. Uh like it like it always has.

1828
01:42:55.720 --> 01:42:59.279
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, I mean I've been feeding it the same stuff.

1829
01:42:59.479 --> 01:43:02.800
<v Speaker 21>It gets watered every day, or not every day, every

1830
01:43:03.399 --> 01:43:10.880
<v Speaker 21>every other day. And uh, I mean I've changed anything, Okay, sure?

1831
01:43:11.119 --> 01:43:15.039
<v Speaker 2>So well, other than it's short, do you see any

1832
01:43:15.079 --> 01:43:17.960
<v Speaker 2>other symptoms or the leaves smaller? Do you see coloring

1833
01:43:18.000 --> 01:43:22.520
<v Speaker 2>in the leaves or lack of coloring or two stems.

1834
01:43:22.640 --> 01:43:23.479
<v Speaker 18>All the all.

1835
01:43:23.359 --> 01:43:30.720
<v Speaker 21>The leaves are green and pretty except for two stems,

1836
01:43:30.840 --> 01:43:34.199
<v Speaker 21>and they're taller than the rest of them, and they're

1837
01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:40.039
<v Speaker 21>kind of yellowish. They're not yellowish pale green, Okay, they're

1838
01:43:40.079 --> 01:43:40.840
<v Speaker 21>not a bright green.

1839
01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, Michael, I don't I don't know what to tell

1840
01:43:44.720 --> 01:43:50.760
<v Speaker 2>you on that. When a plant is dwarfed more like that,

1841
01:43:51.439 --> 01:43:55.479
<v Speaker 2>usually something's wrong in the roots in the soil. Uh,

1842
01:43:56.079 --> 01:43:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, not enough water to supper growth, not enough

1843
01:43:59.119 --> 01:44:01.560
<v Speaker 2>nutrient you're telling me. You know, you're watering it and

1844
01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:05.279
<v Speaker 2>you're fertilizing it. Yeah, and you know, I don't know

1845
01:44:05.279 --> 01:44:07.920
<v Speaker 2>what else would dwarf it. You know, very light doses

1846
01:44:08.039 --> 01:44:11.479
<v Speaker 2>of certain kinds of herbicides can kind of stunt a plant.

1847
01:44:11.560 --> 01:44:14.279
<v Speaker 2>But you usually see weird leaves when that happens, and

1848
01:44:14.359 --> 01:44:18.359
<v Speaker 2>you don't have that that it could be a root

1849
01:44:18.479 --> 01:44:21.199
<v Speaker 2>rot in the soil that is working on some of

1850
01:44:21.239 --> 01:44:25.119
<v Speaker 2>the roots, but not real extensive. Kind of unusual for

1851
01:44:25.159 --> 01:44:27.159
<v Speaker 2>a plant that's been happy for so long and now

1852
01:44:27.199 --> 01:44:29.600
<v Speaker 2>suddenly root rot shows up unless it went through a

1853
01:44:29.760 --> 01:44:35.159
<v Speaker 2>very soggy, wet period. So that those are observations from me.

1854
01:44:35.439 --> 01:44:37.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a crystal ball though to know what

1855
01:44:37.640 --> 01:44:39.439
<v Speaker 2>exactly is happening on that plant.

1856
01:44:39.920 --> 01:44:44.640
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, okay, that's just totally give it a track, because,

1857
01:44:45.399 --> 01:44:48.399
<v Speaker 21>like I say, my wife she loves that bush and

1858
01:44:48.520 --> 01:44:51.640
<v Speaker 21>it always comes out every spring and it.

1859
01:44:51.720 --> 01:44:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Just grows up. Is beautiful this year? Yeah, high you

1860
01:44:58.199 --> 01:45:02.039
<v Speaker 2>might try getting a a garden hose and trying to

1861
01:45:02.279 --> 01:45:06.199
<v Speaker 2>wash out some of the surface roots. You know, just

1862
01:45:06.319 --> 01:45:09.960
<v Speaker 2>where you can see the roots are they are they plump, white,

1863
01:45:10.359 --> 01:45:15.239
<v Speaker 2>creamy colored, healthy looking or do you see swollen spots

1864
01:45:15.279 --> 01:45:16.640
<v Speaker 2>all over the roots?

1865
01:45:17.159 --> 01:45:17.439
<v Speaker 8>Well?

1866
01:45:17.600 --> 01:45:20.199
<v Speaker 21>No, if you would keep mulch on it, and so

1867
01:45:20.359 --> 01:45:25.560
<v Speaker 21>I really don't.

1868
01:45:23.439 --> 01:45:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Well I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting you, Yeah, pull back the

1869
01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:30.359
<v Speaker 2>mulch and just get some of the roots. I don't

1870
01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:32.239
<v Speaker 2>want you to tear them up. I just you know,

1871
01:45:32.399 --> 01:45:34.279
<v Speaker 2>use the spade to loosen the soil and kind of

1872
01:45:34.359 --> 01:45:36.560
<v Speaker 2>wash some soil. See if you see knots. And if

1873
01:45:36.560 --> 01:45:38.560
<v Speaker 2>you do give me a callback, we can talk about that.

1874
01:45:38.680 --> 01:45:40.960
<v Speaker 2>But that that's about as far as I can take

1875
01:45:41.000 --> 01:45:43.720
<v Speaker 2>that one based on the information I got to go

1876
01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:46.760
<v Speaker 2>on at this point, Keith. But I wish you well

1877
01:45:46.800 --> 01:45:48.479
<v Speaker 2>and look forward to talking to you more. If if

1878
01:45:48.479 --> 01:45:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you can get some more if you notice some other things, thanks,

1879
01:45:52.279 --> 01:45:54.359
<v Speaker 2>thanks a lot for giving us a call. I do

1880
01:45:54.439 --> 01:45:59.960
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that the folks at Landscaper's Pride make quality soil.

1881
01:46:00.239 --> 01:46:02.720
<v Speaker 2>It's as simple as that. And when I say quality soils,

1882
01:46:02.720 --> 01:46:06.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean things like their compost peet made from locally

1883
01:46:06.239 --> 01:46:10.239
<v Speaker 2>screened pine It is excellent for improving structure, adding their

1884
01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:13.399
<v Speaker 2>organics into the soil. They have something called planting mix,

1885
01:46:13.479 --> 01:46:16.920
<v Speaker 2>and it's a blend of locally sourced pine bark but

1886
01:46:17.000 --> 01:46:19.960
<v Speaker 2>also with the sandy loam and the organics in it.

1887
01:46:20.560 --> 01:46:24.720
<v Speaker 2>And a planting mix like that is so widely adaptable

1888
01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:26.279
<v Speaker 2>that you can use it to grow just about anything

1889
01:46:26.319 --> 01:46:28.720
<v Speaker 2>you want to grow. Now. They also have the course

1890
01:46:28.800 --> 01:46:31.680
<v Speaker 2>the black velvet mulch. Always twelve months out of the year,

1891
01:46:31.800 --> 01:46:34.399
<v Speaker 2>the ground should be covered because where sunlight hits a soil,

1892
01:46:34.600 --> 01:46:38.479
<v Speaker 2>nature plants a weed. Black velvet mulch is a beautiful color.

1893
01:46:38.560 --> 01:46:42.600
<v Speaker 2>It's not dyed, it's naturally dark, and it just looks good.

1894
01:46:42.960 --> 01:46:46.039
<v Speaker 2>You can go to Landscaperspride dot com or follow them

1895
01:46:46.039 --> 01:46:48.520
<v Speaker 2>on social media to find stores and to find a

1896
01:46:48.520 --> 01:46:51.880
<v Speaker 2>lot more information about their other mini products. As they

1897
01:46:51.880 --> 01:46:57.600
<v Speaker 2>say at Landscaper's Pride, let's grow something together. Let's head

1898
01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:01.520
<v Speaker 2>out now to Alvin, Texas and talk to Michael. Hello, Michael,

1899
01:47:01.560 --> 01:47:02.680
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden line.

1900
01:47:03.840 --> 01:47:11.279
<v Speaker 22>Hello, Hello, I've got this rather large Arizona ash tree,

1901
01:47:11.479 --> 01:47:14.640
<v Speaker 22>almost almost three feet in diameter.

1902
01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:15.520
<v Speaker 23>It's a big one.

1903
01:47:16.399 --> 01:47:20.600
<v Speaker 22>And up, okay, around up around the six foot up

1904
01:47:20.640 --> 01:47:21.640
<v Speaker 22>on the main trunk.

1905
01:47:22.319 --> 01:47:25.560
<v Speaker 23>The bark is starting to separate from.

1906
01:47:25.319 --> 01:47:29.640
<v Speaker 2>The I know it. I know what you're talking about. Yeah,

1907
01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I know it's talking about. Hey, Michael, I'm at a break.

1920
01:48:11.720 --> 01:48:14.039
<v Speaker 2>of the most beautiful low collections of house plants. I've

1921
01:48:14.079 --> 01:48:17.039
<v Speaker 2>seen they are in They're unusual, they're colorful, they're in

1922
01:48:17.399 --> 01:48:21.640
<v Speaker 2>awesome shape. I always have to stop there before I

<v Speaker 2>can get back into the rest of the nursery. The

1924

<v Speaker 2>beautiful plants, all the kinds of plants you would want.

1928
01:48:35.000 --> 01:48:37.920
<v Speaker 2>really quality plants. And then there's the water gardens. There

1929
01:48:38.039 --> 01:48:41.520
<v Speaker 2>are the koi ponds and the various kinds of fish

1930
01:48:41.560 --> 01:48:44.199
<v Speaker 2>that you would put in upon like koi or like shabunkin.

1931
01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:47.079
<v Speaker 2>And then there are the plants that you put in

1932
01:48:47.159 --> 01:48:50.439
<v Speaker 2>water gardens, and of course the water features. Anytime you

1933
01:48:50.479 --> 01:48:53.239
<v Speaker 2>can bring the sound of water home, you are going

1934

1937
01:49:04.479 --> 01:49:08.279
<v Speaker 2>the backyard, and it just is so relaxing. And when

1944
01:49:27.640 --> 01:49:29.800
<v Speaker 2>it's like, yeah, I need one of those. I can't

1945
01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:34.239
<v Speaker 2>get enough beautiful, beautiful at Nelson Water Gardens in Katie.

1946
01:49:35.039 --> 01:49:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's do this. Let's go to Baytown and we're going

1947
01:49:39.199 --> 01:49:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to talk to Alan. Hello, Alan, Welcome to garden Mine.

1948
01:49:42.640 --> 01:49:46.199
<v Speaker 9>Good morning. My question is like third time I calls

1949
01:49:46.239 --> 01:49:50.600
<v Speaker 9>about New Sode. My house was built in a foball

1950
01:49:50.720 --> 01:49:52.840
<v Speaker 9>on in July and.

1951
01:49:52.640 --> 01:49:53.680
<v Speaker 5>Nothing's been done to it.

1952
01:49:53.720 --> 01:49:54.359
<v Speaker 2>But I'm six.

1953
01:49:54.720 --> 01:49:57.960
<v Speaker 9>It's just the yards begging for the fertilization schedule to start.

1954
01:49:58.039 --> 01:50:01.840
<v Speaker 9>That's going to happen tomorrow. Okay, I'm noticing to building

1955
01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:03.479
<v Speaker 9>all these these holes around me. The whole front yard

1956
01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:05.319
<v Speaker 9>is nothing but sand. They laid the saw down in it.

1957
01:50:06.159 --> 01:50:08.359
<v Speaker 9>Would it benefit my yard if I and lay some

1958
01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:11.880
<v Speaker 9>top soil down or combination sicky sicky soil and sand,

1959
01:50:13.319 --> 01:50:14.159
<v Speaker 9>or don't worry about it?

1960
01:50:14.239 --> 01:50:14.479
<v Speaker 2>Do you know?

1961
01:50:14.600 --> 01:50:15.359
<v Speaker 9>Grass is growing?

1962
01:50:15.600 --> 01:50:18.800
<v Speaker 2>What's what's underneath the grass right now? Do you know?

1963
01:50:19.880 --> 01:50:22.119
<v Speaker 9>I think if I'm looking at what to do for

1964
01:50:22.159 --> 01:50:25.199
<v Speaker 9>the rest of the homes they're building, there's nothing but sand,

1965
01:50:26.680 --> 01:50:28.720
<v Speaker 9>I don't see any of the kind of soil being

1966
01:50:28.720 --> 01:50:29.399
<v Speaker 9>brought out there.

1967
01:50:30.680 --> 01:50:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, it wouldn't help to put that out. What

1968
01:50:33.720 --> 01:50:36.119
<v Speaker 2>you need to do is get my schedule from gardening

1969
01:50:36.119 --> 01:50:39.479
<v Speaker 2>with skip dot com and follow. I have organic and

1970
01:50:39.520 --> 01:50:44.119
<v Speaker 2>synthetic fertilizer options that are outstanding day. A good one

1971
01:50:44.319 --> 01:50:47.600
<v Speaker 2>right now would be Nelson's carbo load.

1972
01:50:48.199 --> 01:50:48.319
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

1973
01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:51.399
<v Speaker 2>It's it's designed for fall and it also has that

1974
01:50:51.479 --> 01:50:54.479
<v Speaker 2>pre emergent in it. So if your lawn is you

1975
01:50:54.479 --> 01:50:57.359
<v Speaker 2>know a little bit then in places rather than winter

1976
01:50:57.439 --> 01:50:59.600
<v Speaker 2>weeds sprouting, it's going to prevent those and you kind

1977
01:50:59.600 --> 01:51:01.920
<v Speaker 2>of kill too birds with one stone with that the

1978
01:51:02.039 --> 01:51:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Nelson carbo load. Uh. The fertilizer is important going forward.

1979
01:51:07.760 --> 01:51:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Anytime you get an opportunity to do like an narration

1980
01:51:10.960 --> 01:51:14.880
<v Speaker 2>or compost stop dressing something along those lines, I would

1981
01:51:14.880 --> 01:51:17.359
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and do that. That also helps your lawn.

1982
01:51:17.520 --> 01:51:21.800
<v Speaker 2>But primarily it's water and fertilizing and regular mowing.

1983
01:51:22.479 --> 01:51:22.600
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

1984
01:51:22.880 --> 01:51:25.119
<v Speaker 2>You want to go on a regular schedule at a

1985
01:51:25.319 --> 01:51:27.079
<v Speaker 2>at a good height.

1986
01:51:28.159 --> 01:51:31.399
<v Speaker 9>Well that's what I do. It's getting all of that

1987
01:51:31.520 --> 01:51:35.439
<v Speaker 9>and except for the fertilizer. For fertilizer yet, because I

1988
01:51:36.079 --> 01:51:38.159
<v Speaker 9>didn't get into July the house until I'm waiting to

1989
01:51:38.920 --> 01:51:42.439
<v Speaker 9>like probably today or tomorrow. And I've already already. I

1990
01:51:42.479 --> 01:51:44.920
<v Speaker 9>know you've mentioned the Nelsons already about the nitrofiles. So

1991
01:51:45.239 --> 01:51:47.159
<v Speaker 9>but I can go ahead and do that, okay, and

1992
01:51:47.840 --> 01:51:49.079
<v Speaker 9>at the same time, the same.

1993
01:51:48.960 --> 01:51:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Day, yes, not in the same hopper, but same time,

1994
01:51:52.880 --> 01:51:57.039
<v Speaker 2>same day nitrophiles fall special and barricade or an excellent

1995
01:51:57.079 --> 01:51:59.800
<v Speaker 2>combination to accomplish the same thing in your lawn.

1996
01:52:00.800 --> 01:52:03.600
<v Speaker 11>All right, okay, well, thank you, thank you very much.

1997
01:52:04.920 --> 01:52:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then just next summer when it's dry, give

1998
01:52:07.359 --> 01:52:09.880
<v Speaker 2>it a good soaking periodically, and I think you'll get

1999
01:52:09.880 --> 01:52:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that lone in good shape.

2000
01:52:11.439 --> 01:52:14.000
<v Speaker 9>Okay, all right, I just didn't like to see just

2001
01:52:14.039 --> 01:52:16.840
<v Speaker 9>to say I note that needed some good dirt underneath it,

2002
01:52:16.920 --> 01:52:18.439
<v Speaker 9>or not so very good.

2003
01:52:18.720 --> 01:52:20.640
<v Speaker 2>We're going we're gonna make it easy. We're gonna make

2004
01:52:20.640 --> 01:52:23.239
<v Speaker 2>it easy, and you follow my schedule online and you'll

2005
01:52:23.239 --> 01:52:26.640
<v Speaker 2>get there. Thanks a lot for that call. Uh yeah,

2006
01:52:26.720 --> 01:52:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I was. I was mentioning that that carverload. I've been

2007
01:52:29.560 --> 01:52:31.840
<v Speaker 2>wanting to tell you guys about another product from Nelson,

2008
01:52:31.920 --> 01:52:35.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's the nutri Star Genesis. Now that's a little

2009
01:52:35.199 --> 01:52:38.119
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a clear plastic jar screw top lad

2010
01:52:38.760 --> 01:52:46.000
<v Speaker 2>that we use it for transplanting. So when I'm last year,

2011
01:52:46.039 --> 01:52:48.199
<v Speaker 2>I grew some tomato transplants and I bumped them up

2012
01:52:48.199 --> 01:52:50.960
<v Speaker 2>to bigger pots. Before I planted them, I put Nutrishar

2013
01:52:51.079 --> 01:52:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Genesis in, and it's a good thing. I wasn't standing

2014
01:52:54.439 --> 01:52:56.279
<v Speaker 2>over them. They took off growing so fasty to hit

2015
01:52:56.319 --> 01:52:59.560
<v Speaker 2>me in the chin. I'm seriously telling you this stuff

2016
01:52:59.640 --> 01:53:02.199
<v Speaker 2>really works. If you're gonna put rose bushes in, put

2017
01:53:02.199 --> 01:53:04.159
<v Speaker 2>some in the hole, mix it in. This is not

2018
01:53:04.399 --> 01:53:07.399
<v Speaker 2>a salt based fertilizer. It's gonna burn plant roots or anything.

2019
01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:10.479
<v Speaker 2>It just works well. Later on, you can follow that

2020
01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:13.039
<v Speaker 2>up with color Star or Nutral Star some of the

2021
01:53:13.079 --> 01:53:17.960
<v Speaker 2>other Nelson plant food products. But any planting you're gonna do,

2022
01:53:18.039 --> 01:53:20.600
<v Speaker 2>just have a jar of Genesis on the shelf Nutristar

2023
01:53:20.680 --> 01:53:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Genesis from Nelson and use it every time you plant.

2024
01:53:24.079 --> 01:53:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Mix it into the soil, set the plant in, water

2025
01:53:26.840 --> 01:53:29.359
<v Speaker 2>it in real good, and then you watch the results.

2026
01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's head out to Fairfield. We're going to talk to Marty. Hey, Marty,

2027
01:53:32.520 --> 01:53:34.680
<v Speaker 2>welcome to guard Line Morning.

2028
01:53:34.760 --> 01:53:35.039
<v Speaker 5>Skip.

2029
01:53:35.479 --> 01:53:35.640
<v Speaker 8>Hey.

2030
01:53:35.640 --> 01:53:37.359
<v Speaker 24>I was going to see if I could put some

2031
01:53:39.159 --> 01:53:43.399
<v Speaker 24>Basillosteria gensis on my cabbage plant and my.

2032
01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Callflower.

2033
01:53:46.680 --> 01:53:49.960
<v Speaker 24>They got looks like they're eating snails are eating the leaves.

2034
01:53:51.399 --> 01:53:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you're you're not talking about snail bait. You're

2035
01:53:54.119 --> 01:54:02.319
<v Speaker 2>talking about BT. Yes, putting it on okay pillar yeah, yeah,

2036
01:54:02.359 --> 01:54:08.000
<v Speaker 2>if it's caterpillars, BT works if you can spray upward

2037
01:54:08.039 --> 01:54:10.800
<v Speaker 2>from underneath the leaves. A lot of those caterpillars hide

2038
01:54:10.880 --> 01:54:13.560
<v Speaker 2>under the leaves. When I see any of those kinds

2039
01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:16.680
<v Speaker 2>of vegetables in my garden and some leaf areas are missing,

2040
01:54:17.079 --> 01:54:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I turned the leaves over, and there's always going to

2041
01:54:19.039 --> 01:54:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be a little looper under there that's doing it. Now,

2042
01:54:21.960 --> 01:54:24.680
<v Speaker 2>if it's caused by snails, of course you'll see the slimy,

2043
01:54:24.760 --> 01:54:27.760
<v Speaker 2>dried trails from them. And that's where a snail bait

2044
01:54:27.800 --> 01:54:32.079
<v Speaker 2>would work. But BT won't touch a snail, but snow

2045
01:54:32.119 --> 01:54:37.439
<v Speaker 2>bait will. But yes, BT caterpillars.

2046
01:54:36.640 --> 01:54:42.720
<v Speaker 24>Yeah, okay, I didn't know. I thought maybe it would

2047
01:54:42.800 --> 01:54:46.720
<v Speaker 24>kill both of them, all right, So I don't know now.

2048
01:54:46.680 --> 01:54:50.479
<v Speaker 2>The snail baits. There are snail baits with like a

2049
01:54:50.520 --> 01:54:55.119
<v Speaker 2>poison in them, a chemical poison kind of thing, But

2050
01:54:55.239 --> 01:54:59.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot of snail baits are just iron based. They

2051
01:54:59.119 --> 01:55:03.199
<v Speaker 2>basically take iron and put it into something. The snails

2052
01:55:03.279 --> 01:55:06.720
<v Speaker 2>love to eat a bait, and then they end up

2053
01:55:06.760 --> 01:55:10.039
<v Speaker 2>getting so much iron that it causes a terminal case

2054
01:55:10.079 --> 01:55:13.279
<v Speaker 2>of constipation. Isn't that an interesting thing to happen to

2055
01:55:13.319 --> 01:55:16.520
<v Speaker 2>the snails. It's kind of if you think about it

2056
01:55:16.520 --> 01:55:19.279
<v Speaker 2>too much, it's a little scary. But no, seriously, the

2057
01:55:20.319 --> 01:55:23.119
<v Speaker 2>snail baits are very safe and as a result, I

2058
01:55:23.279 --> 01:55:26.840
<v Speaker 2>like those iron based baits. Slug O is just an

2059
01:55:26.880 --> 01:55:29.800
<v Speaker 2>example of one of the brands.

2060
01:55:30.319 --> 01:55:33.039
<v Speaker 24>Well, I don't see a caterpillar and I don't see

2061
01:55:33.079 --> 01:55:37.800
<v Speaker 24>any snail slime. It's just big little chunks and big

2062
01:55:37.880 --> 01:55:39.279
<v Speaker 24>chunks are out of the leaves.

2063
01:55:40.640 --> 01:55:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Turn over a bunch of leaves, look good, and then

2064
01:55:42.960 --> 01:55:45.960
<v Speaker 2>go out, go out tonight with a flashlight. We do

2065
01:55:46.039 --> 01:55:48.279
<v Speaker 2>have pasts that are nocturnal. They kind of hide out

2066
01:55:48.359 --> 01:55:49.960
<v Speaker 2>during the day and then they come out to feed

2067
01:55:50.000 --> 01:55:53.399
<v Speaker 2>at night, and a number of caterpillars are that way.

2068
01:55:53.439 --> 01:55:55.640
<v Speaker 2>That's how the sod webworms and our lawns are. They

2069
01:55:55.680 --> 01:55:57.520
<v Speaker 2>hide during and then they come out at night to

2070
01:55:57.520 --> 01:56:01.600
<v Speaker 2>feed primarily. But anyway, find out what it's doing it

2071
01:56:01.960 --> 01:56:05.199
<v Speaker 2>and then you'll know what to do about it. Okay,

2072
01:56:05.359 --> 01:56:08.800
<v Speaker 2>thank you, all right, Marty, Thanks for the call. I

2073

<v Speaker 2>appreciate that very much. Bye bye, thanks a lot. Well,

2146
02:00:32.119 --> 02:00:35.439
<v Speaker 2>about trees, I had somebody ask me just earlier today

2147
02:00:36.239 --> 02:00:43.239
<v Speaker 2>during the break about Affordable Tree service and hiring someone

2148
02:00:43.239 --> 02:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>to come in and do arbor work on their trees,

2149
02:00:46.239 --> 02:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and his hands down, absolutely that's who I would send

2150
02:00:50.000 --> 02:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you to. Go to Martin spoon Moore from Affordable Tree.

2151
02:00:53.600 --> 02:00:56.239
<v Speaker 2>He's been doing this for a very long time. He's experienced,

2152
02:00:56.239 --> 02:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>he knows what he's doing, and we are now entering

2153
02:01:00.079 --> 02:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>into the pruning season that we prune any time of

2154
02:01:03.680 --> 02:01:06.279
<v Speaker 2>the year. We need to, but the best pruning season

2155
02:01:06.279 --> 02:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>of the year, Martin gets booked up, so don't delay

2156
02:01:10.159 --> 02:01:12.439
<v Speaker 2>give him a call. Even if he just comes out

2157
02:01:12.680 --> 02:01:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and does an assessment of the landscape. What if these

2158
02:01:16.039 --> 02:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>trees need is there any work?

2159
02:01:18.479 --> 02:01:18.640
<v Speaker 5>You know?

2160
02:01:18.680 --> 02:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>For one hundred and fifty can come out do an

2161
02:01:20.800 --> 02:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>assessment and that is a money well spent because it

2162
02:01:23.720 --> 02:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>goes right back into the price of doing any kind

2163
02:01:26.600 --> 02:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>of work that you might need, whether it's pruning, you know.

2167
02:01:38.640 --> 02:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh, you have to call ahead of time. Do

2168
02:01:41.800 --> 02:01:45.399
<v Speaker 2>not do work trenching or putting in slabs around a

02:01:45.439 --> 02:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>tree without having someone that knows what they're talking about,

2179
02:02:23.079 --> 02:02:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to garden Line.

2180
02:02:25.199 --> 02:02:27.760
<v Speaker 12>Good morning, said a couple of questions. I just put

2181
02:02:27.800 --> 02:02:30.479
<v Speaker 12>in some new sable palms after the hurricane took out

2182
02:02:30.520 --> 02:02:34.640
<v Speaker 12>all my existing palms. Uh. In anyway, I'm just wondering

2183
02:02:34.680 --> 02:02:37.119
<v Speaker 12>about care for them, Like I said, I've just they've

2184
02:02:37.119 --> 02:02:41.000
<v Speaker 12>been in for about three weeks and just too much water,

2185
02:02:41.119 --> 02:02:45.239
<v Speaker 12>not enough water. Should I fertilize them? Uh? And they've

2186
02:02:45.239 --> 02:02:49.000
<v Speaker 12>been established. They're like seven eight foot twelve foot trunks.

2187
02:02:50.079 --> 02:02:51.199
<v Speaker 12>So just a question.

2188
02:02:51.399 --> 02:02:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, tell me again, what what kind of palm do

2189
02:02:55.239 --> 02:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>you have?

2190
02:02:56.600 --> 02:02:57.960
<v Speaker 12>They're sables?

2191
02:02:59.159 --> 02:03:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Sable? Okay, good, that's a great palm. Uh. So not

2192
02:03:03.359 --> 02:03:05.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of care is needed. You want to make

2193
02:03:05.760 --> 02:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>sure they have adequate water. So always water the base

2194
02:03:08.840 --> 02:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>of the plant if for some reason your soil, you know,

2195
02:03:11.840 --> 02:03:14.199
<v Speaker 2>for some reason, if your soil is heavy clay, you

2196
02:03:14.239 --> 02:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>want to be careful not to put them in a

2197
02:03:15.640 --> 02:03:19.920
<v Speaker 2>swamp by overwatering all the time. Right, But I would

2198
02:03:20.039 --> 02:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I would just make sure and give them adequate moisture

2199
02:03:23.000 --> 02:03:25.800
<v Speaker 2>to keep that root ball moist once we get into

2200
02:03:25.840 --> 02:03:28.720
<v Speaker 2>the wintertime. The demands go down a lot on all

2201
02:03:28.800 --> 02:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>kinds of plants, and so we don't have to worry

2202
02:03:30.720 --> 02:03:33.279
<v Speaker 2>about it as much, but we just want to help

2203
02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>them get established well with adequate watering but not overwatering.

2204
02:03:38.319 --> 02:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Some people will actually put a PVC pipe in the ground,

2205
02:03:45.880 --> 02:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>like a two inch PVC pipe vertically straight down into

2206
02:03:49.600 --> 02:03:52.399
<v Speaker 2>the ground. Maybe put it a couple of feet deep,

2207
02:03:52.560 --> 02:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, or something like that, and when you when

2208
02:03:55.840 --> 02:04:00.239
<v Speaker 2>your soil gets water logged, water can move up in

2209
02:04:00.279 --> 02:04:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that pipe, and so later on you can come in

2210
02:04:04.159 --> 02:04:07.079
<v Speaker 2>with a stick like one of those little yard sticks,

2211
02:04:07.119 --> 02:04:09.880
<v Speaker 2>but the square kind that's about an inch square, or

2212
02:04:10.159 --> 02:04:13.119
<v Speaker 2>just a dowel rod, and you stick it down in

2213
02:04:13.159 --> 02:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>there and pull it out, and you can see where

2214
02:04:15.039 --> 02:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the water table is. And so if you got a

2215
02:04:17.560 --> 02:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>water table that's up within a foot of the surface,

2216
02:04:21.800 --> 02:04:25.239
<v Speaker 2>that stop stop watering that you don't want to drown them.

2217
02:04:25.479 --> 02:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>But that's one way you can find out what's happening underground,

2218
02:04:28.760 --> 02:04:31.479
<v Speaker 2>because that's not good for trees. So that's just a

2219
02:04:31.479 --> 02:04:34.520
<v Speaker 2>little trick tip. You could have people ask me all

2220
02:04:34.560 --> 02:04:36.439
<v Speaker 2>the time, how much do I water? How long do

2221
02:04:36.479 --> 02:04:39.319
<v Speaker 2>I wader? How often do I water? And it's just

2222
02:04:39.399 --> 02:04:42.279
<v Speaker 2>there's so many variables that it's hard to answer that question.

2223
02:04:42.359 --> 02:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>But with that PBC pipe you kind of know on

2224
02:04:45.399 --> 02:04:49.720
<v Speaker 2>trees if they're getting too much or not right.

2225
02:04:49.880 --> 02:04:52.279
<v Speaker 12>Well, the other part of that was we had the

2226
02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:54.720
<v Speaker 12>limbs tied up, of course, and they said leave them

2227
02:04:54.760 --> 02:04:57.239
<v Speaker 12>tied up for about two months before you undo them.

2228
02:04:57.239 --> 02:04:59.720
<v Speaker 12>But a lot of them have started dying off, and

2229
02:05:00.079 --> 02:05:01.319
<v Speaker 12>he said, don't worry about that.

2230
02:05:01.399 --> 02:05:03.439
<v Speaker 2>He said, I kill them.

2231
02:05:03.399 --> 02:05:03.920
<v Speaker 8>What I bought them for.

2232
02:05:04.000 --> 02:05:06.239
<v Speaker 12>Me said, you know, I typically I would cut them

2233
02:05:06.239 --> 02:05:08.119
<v Speaker 12>all off, but people like to see a little bit

2234
02:05:08.159 --> 02:05:11.079
<v Speaker 12>of palm fronds when they first buy tree.

2235
02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>You spend that kind of money, so yeah, he said, really, yeah,

2236
02:05:15.279 --> 02:05:18.399
<v Speaker 2>just leave them well when you open them up, when

2237
02:05:18.439 --> 02:05:21.319
<v Speaker 2>you when there, you take the tie off, or whoever

2238
02:05:21.359 --> 02:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>does that takes the tie off and they expand out.

2239
02:05:25.840 --> 02:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Always leave See, if you think of palms as having

2240
02:05:30.640 --> 02:05:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a rounded top, uh you in your pruning, you you

2241
02:05:35.760 --> 02:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>want the problem not to take more than horizontal out.

2242
02:05:40.359 --> 02:05:42.720
<v Speaker 2>In other words, if it's a clock you're looking at

2243
02:05:43.039 --> 02:05:45.439
<v Speaker 2>from three o'clock to nine o'clock, you don't want it

2244
02:05:45.479 --> 02:05:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to go up any higher than that. The branches you

2245
02:05:48.560 --> 02:05:51.720
<v Speaker 2>want at least horizontal freedom and it can hang down

2246
02:05:51.760 --> 02:05:55.880
<v Speaker 2>even more, but never prune more than than that horizontal

2247
02:05:55.880 --> 02:05:59.399
<v Speaker 2>line across the thing. Hey, I've got to I've got

2248
02:05:59.439 --> 02:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>to take a little break. But I hope that helps.

2249
02:06:02.800 --> 02:06:06.359
<v Speaker 2>And good luck with your plants, and thanks again for

2250
02:06:06.479 --> 02:06:15.359
<v Speaker 2>that call. We are entering. We're in the middle of

2251
02:06:15.439 --> 02:06:17.479
<v Speaker 2>our last hour for the day. I'm going to be

2256

2257
02:06:37.279 --> 02:06:40.640
<v Speaker 2>yearning to breathe free. I'll pretend that I'm am Elazarath,

2258
02:06:40.680 --> 02:06:43.399
<v Speaker 2>writing a horticulture poet here about the statue of Liberty.

2259
02:06:43.880 --> 02:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll be happy to diagnose them and help you in

2260
02:06:45.720 --> 02:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>any way that I can. We're going to start this

2261
02:06:48.960 --> 02:06:51.560
<v Speaker 2>hour by going or this segment by going out to

2262
02:06:51.720 --> 02:06:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Tracy in Houston. Hello, Tracy, welcome to garden Line.

2263
02:06:56.119 --> 02:06:57.439
<v Speaker 8>Hello, how will you today?

2264
02:06:58.920 --> 02:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm well, thank you to help awesome.

2265
02:07:01.600 --> 02:07:05.159
<v Speaker 7>I'll be quick, Okay, two things, Can I go ahead?

2266
02:07:05.199 --> 02:07:06.920
<v Speaker 2>And I know it's February.

2267
02:07:06.960 --> 02:07:09.000
<v Speaker 8>But can I go ahead and trim my knockout roses?

2268
02:07:09.039 --> 02:07:14.439
<v Speaker 2>They look absolutely horrible. Well, they're gonna look horrible because

2269
02:07:14.680 --> 02:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>of a number of different things that have been going

2270
02:07:16.800 --> 02:07:18.399
<v Speaker 2>on with them. A lot of roses are looking a

2271
02:07:18.399 --> 02:07:21.640
<v Speaker 2>little worse for the wear. I'm a little concerned about

2272
02:07:22.000 --> 02:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>stimulating a lot of growth with cold weather coming so soon.

2273
02:07:27.199 --> 02:07:30.399
<v Speaker 2>I'd normally do my trimming back of roses like in

2274
02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>late August to get a good October show out of them.

2275
02:07:34.880 --> 02:07:36.840
<v Speaker 2>But I think at this point, if you need to

2276
02:07:36.840 --> 02:07:39.399
<v Speaker 2>trim a little back just for the size of the

2277
02:07:39.439 --> 02:07:42.960
<v Speaker 2>bush or whatever, go ahead, But I would mainly wait

2278
02:07:43.199 --> 02:07:45.479
<v Speaker 2>at this point. Now, I would wait and do most

2279
02:07:45.479 --> 02:07:48.079
<v Speaker 2>of my printing at the end of winter. I think

2280
02:07:48.479 --> 02:07:51.760
<v Speaker 2>February would be a good time to do that. Okay.

2281
02:07:52.000 --> 02:07:55.880
<v Speaker 7>Last of all, this running vine that keeps wrapping itself

2282
02:07:55.920 --> 02:08:00.880
<v Speaker 7>around my roses, it's a constant thing, sometimes three times

2283
02:08:00.880 --> 02:08:01.560
<v Speaker 7>wrapped around.

2284
02:08:01.760 --> 02:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>What causes that?

2285
02:08:02.680 --> 02:08:03.720
<v Speaker 8>And how can I kill it?

2286
02:08:05.399 --> 02:08:08.239
<v Speaker 2>I need to see what it is if you are

2287
02:08:08.319 --> 02:08:10.199
<v Speaker 2>able to send me. Are you able to send me

2288
02:08:10.239 --> 02:08:12.319
<v Speaker 2>a photo you take of the vine up close? Run

2289
02:08:12.399 --> 02:08:13.159
<v Speaker 2>and see the leaves?

2290
02:08:14.039 --> 02:08:16.439
<v Speaker 22>No, Because I got out of six o'clock and kill them,

2291
02:08:16.800 --> 02:08:18.319
<v Speaker 22>to them all off on row.

2292
02:08:20.640 --> 02:08:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's fine, Tracy, you're not wasting time out there. Well,

2293
02:08:26.600 --> 02:08:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is. It's probably a broadly fine.

2294
02:08:29.000 --> 02:08:31.319
<v Speaker 2>If it's a perennial and you break it off and

2295
02:08:31.319 --> 02:08:33.840
<v Speaker 2>it comes right back out of the ground when you

2296
02:08:33.880 --> 02:08:37.960
<v Speaker 2>cut it off. If you will paint a certain kind

2297
02:08:37.960 --> 02:08:41.199
<v Speaker 2>of herbicide on the stem of the vine, you don't

2298
02:08:41.199 --> 02:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>want to spray it because you don't want to hurt

2299
02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:48.680
<v Speaker 2>your plants. But there's one called the ingredient is triclope here.

2300
02:08:49.239 --> 02:08:52.119
<v Speaker 2>And if you go to my website Gardening with Skip

2301
02:08:52.199 --> 02:08:57.439
<v Speaker 2>dot com, there's herbicides to use on skip'sweed wiper, and

2302
02:08:57.600 --> 02:09:01.199
<v Speaker 2>all the products that contain triclopp here are listed on there.

2303
02:09:01.560 --> 02:09:04.399
<v Speaker 2>And you just wipe it either on the cut surface

2304
02:09:04.560 --> 02:09:06.880
<v Speaker 2>or on the base of the vine itself, and that

2305
02:09:07.079 --> 02:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>moves down in the vine. Don't spray it, wipe it

2306
02:09:10.680 --> 02:09:14.399
<v Speaker 2>on and then it'll it'll kill the vine. Okay, all right,

2307
02:09:14.439 --> 02:09:17.800
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for that information. All Right, you

2308
02:09:17.800 --> 02:09:19.760
<v Speaker 2>take care, Tracy, have a good rest of your weekend.

2309
02:09:22.039 --> 02:09:24.520
<v Speaker 2>You are listening to garden Line and we are here

2310
02:09:24.560 --> 02:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>to answer your gardening questions if you want to give

2311
02:09:26.640 --> 02:09:29.159
<v Speaker 2>me a call. It's seven one three two one two

2312
02:09:29.199 --> 02:09:32.399
<v Speaker 2>five eight seven four. I'll be happy to do just that.

2313
02:09:33.039 --> 02:09:36.479
<v Speaker 2>I want to remind you we're in fall fertilizing season.

2314
02:09:36.800 --> 02:09:40.439
<v Speaker 2>This is the time to get it done. Microlife Fertilizer

2315
02:09:40.880 --> 02:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>has a product called brown Patch. Now that's not a

2316
02:09:44.920 --> 02:09:49.359
<v Speaker 2>fung just side that is a herbst fertilizer. It's a

2317
02:09:49.680 --> 02:09:53.199
<v Speaker 2>it's a fertilizer that is loaded with micronutrients. So you

2318
02:09:53.239 --> 02:09:55.439
<v Speaker 2>put it out there and it makes lawn healthier. That's

2319
02:09:55.479 --> 02:09:59.800
<v Speaker 2>one thing it does. But the the microbes that are

2320
02:09:59.840 --> 02:10:02.359
<v Speaker 2>in and it does have micro nutrients in it too

2321
02:10:02.359 --> 02:10:05.439
<v Speaker 2>because it's a natural product. But the microbes that are

2322
02:10:05.479 --> 02:10:11.439
<v Speaker 2>in it help out compete that brown patch organism as

2323
02:10:11.479 --> 02:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>it tries to infect your lawn. So that's the way

2324
02:10:14.039 --> 02:10:17.479
<v Speaker 2>that it works as a disease. It didn't kill the fungus.

2325
02:10:18.039 --> 02:10:21.920
<v Speaker 2>It helps keep that plant healthy and helps it defend

2326
02:10:21.960 --> 02:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>off the fungus. And that's what organic gardening is all about,

2327
02:10:25.359 --> 02:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>is making our plants healthy and providing the good stuff

2328
02:10:28.600 --> 02:10:31.359
<v Speaker 2>they need to accomplish that. And Microlife brown Patch is

2329
02:10:31.359 --> 02:10:34.199
<v Speaker 2>that good stuff. You'll find it on my schedule at

02:10:34.199 --> 02:10:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Gardening with Skip dot com. It is a very very

2331

2335
02:10:52.399 --> 02:10:55.079
<v Speaker 2>talk to Randy. Hello, Randy, welcome to guard Line.

2336
02:10:56.039 --> 02:10:56.279
<v Speaker 22>Hello.

2337
02:10:56.399 --> 02:10:57.319
<v Speaker 23>How are you this morning?

2338
02:10:58.680 --> 02:11:00.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, sir. How can I help today?

2339
02:11:00.880 --> 02:11:04.560
<v Speaker 23>Well, I have a question. I'm long has been part

2340
02:11:04.600 --> 02:11:07.920
<v Speaker 23>of my lown has been inundated with the button weed,

2341
02:11:08.039 --> 02:11:12.600
<v Speaker 23>the whatever it is. I've got the ro my product

2342
02:11:12.640 --> 02:11:17.119
<v Speaker 23>that you'll recommend or Furtolan rather it's a spray. When

2343
02:11:17.159 --> 02:11:19.279
<v Speaker 23>do you pull the trigger to do that? Because everything

2344
02:11:19.399 --> 02:11:22.279
<v Speaker 23>says wait till the weather's cooler.

2345
02:11:23.800 --> 02:11:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Well, you know, if you're we try to apply

2346
02:11:28.880 --> 02:11:31.960
<v Speaker 2>those products when it's below let's say the mid eighties,

2347
02:11:32.720 --> 02:11:35.800
<v Speaker 2>certainly the below the upper eighties if possible.

2348
02:11:36.479 --> 02:11:36.600
<v Speaker 18>Uh.

2349
02:11:36.840 --> 02:11:38.680
<v Speaker 2>But if you get out early in the morning when

2350
02:11:38.680 --> 02:11:41.119
<v Speaker 2>the temperature is that it's coolest and we're going to

2351
02:11:41.159 --> 02:11:42.760
<v Speaker 2>get some breaks in the weather, and you can go

2352
02:11:42.760 --> 02:11:46.319
<v Speaker 2>ahead and do that right away, when when you can

2353
02:11:46.319 --> 02:11:48.560
<v Speaker 2>get it out and it has a few hours before

2354
02:11:48.600 --> 02:11:50.359
<v Speaker 2>the temperature is going to get up in you know

2355
02:11:50.479 --> 02:11:53.199
<v Speaker 2>up into the mid eighties or higher. You can get

2356
02:11:53.199 --> 02:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>by with it that way if you if you want

2357
02:11:56.000 --> 02:11:57.359
<v Speaker 2>to go do the button weed just.

2358
02:11:57.479 --> 02:12:01.159
<v Speaker 23>Next spring for sustain or this is brutal, it is

2359
02:12:01.239 --> 02:12:04.000
<v Speaker 23>just inundating my low well.

2360
02:12:04.159 --> 02:12:07.760
<v Speaker 2>And I that's a weed that's tough to kill, and

2361
02:12:07.840 --> 02:12:10.439
<v Speaker 2>it can be killed, but it's going to take multiple applications,

2362
02:12:10.479 --> 02:12:12.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's hard around here to find times it's not

2363
02:12:12.760 --> 02:12:14.920
<v Speaker 2>too hot to apply it. Because in the winter the

2364
02:12:14.960 --> 02:12:17.880
<v Speaker 2>button weed isn't going to take up a herbicide. It's

2365
02:12:18.039 --> 02:12:22.439
<v Speaker 2>it's in a semi dormant stay. So that's why I.

2366
02:12:24.439 --> 02:12:26.640
<v Speaker 23>The windows in. Then probably in the next few weeks

2367
02:12:26.680 --> 02:12:30.239
<v Speaker 23>when we start getting some cooler weather in the mornings.

2368
02:12:29.720 --> 02:12:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go ahead and get it. Go ahead and get

2369
02:12:31.279 --> 02:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>it out and get it on there. And then in

2370
02:12:32.960 --> 02:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the spring, first tant you get when you see the

2371
02:12:35.039 --> 02:12:38.079
<v Speaker 2>button weed, apply it. It may be getting too warm.

2372
02:12:38.159 --> 02:12:41.640
<v Speaker 2>That's why I usually tell people to get celsius herbicide

2373
02:12:41.680 --> 02:12:44.760
<v Speaker 2>for that, because you can use celsius when the temperatures

2374
02:12:44.760 --> 02:12:47.239
<v Speaker 2>in the lower nineties and it's just fine. It gives

2375
02:12:47.239 --> 02:12:48.079
<v Speaker 2>you a bigger window.

2376
02:12:48.279 --> 02:12:54.039
<v Speaker 23>And Augustine, no not if you not, if you was

2377
02:12:54.159 --> 02:12:55.920
<v Speaker 23>just directed Okay.

2378
02:12:55.680 --> 02:12:58.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, sir, thank you, you have a good day.

2379
02:12:59.600 --> 02:13:05.359
<v Speaker 2>Good luck with that. Appreciate that if you are seeing

2380
02:13:05.399 --> 02:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>cracks in your driveway, in your sidewalks, in the brick

2381
02:13:11.119 --> 02:13:13.359
<v Speaker 2>on the outside of your home, on the sheet rock

2382
02:13:13.399 --> 02:13:16.560
<v Speaker 2>on the inside, if you got doors sticking, something shifting,

2383
02:13:16.840 --> 02:13:20.279
<v Speaker 2>and our clay soils are in this area, they shrink

2384
02:13:20.479 --> 02:13:22.600
<v Speaker 2>and they swell, they get dry, they shrink, they get

2385
02:13:22.600 --> 02:13:26.840
<v Speaker 2>what they swell. Fix My slab foundation repair is who

<v Speaker 2>you need to call, and I will tell you this.

<v Speaker 2>Ty Strickland is the owner. He's been doing this for

2388
02:13:31.680 --> 02:13:35.399
<v Speaker 2>over twenty three years now. He knows what he's doing,

2389
02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:39.359
<v Speaker 2>and ty does not you know, jump out there and go, oh,

2392
02:13:43.840 --> 02:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>talked to Tye about jobs that he said, you know what,

2393
02:13:46.680 --> 02:13:50.119
<v Speaker 2>that movement is not enough to worry about at this point,

2394
02:13:50.840 --> 02:13:53.079
<v Speaker 2>and they'll keep an eye on it or whatever it

2395
02:13:53.119 --> 02:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>may be, that it is something that needs to be done.

2396
02:13:55.039 --> 02:13:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Telling me your guardenline listener, because because you get a

2397
02:13:57.600 --> 02:13:59.640

2398
02:13:59.640 --> 02:14:01.960
<v Speaker 2>a guard line listener just hadn't come out and look

2399
02:14:01.960 --> 02:14:05.079
<v Speaker 2>at it. Uh, because putting your head in the sand

02:14:30.039 --> 02:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>forty nine forty nine. Two eight one two five five

2409
02:14:33.720 --> 02:14:38.079
<v Speaker 2>forty nine forty nine fix my slab foundation repair. We're

2410
02:14:38.079 --> 02:14:41.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna go out now to Michael and Alvin. Hey, welcome

2411
02:14:41.119 --> 02:14:45.199
<v Speaker 2>to garden Line. Michael. Yes, sir, I'll call it in

2412
02:14:45.239 --> 02:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>a little while.

2413
02:14:45.760 --> 02:14:48.920
<v Speaker 22>Ago I got drops somehow, but uh, I got this

2414
02:14:49.239 --> 02:14:53.880
<v Speaker 22>ash tree Arizona ash that the bark is separating from

2415
02:14:53.920 --> 02:14:55.439
<v Speaker 22>the from the trunk.

2416
02:14:55.159 --> 02:14:57.520
<v Speaker 2>About six foot up. It's a very large.

2417
02:14:57.199 --> 02:14:59.960
<v Speaker 22>One, about three foot in diameter. And I was one

2418
02:15:00.920 --> 02:15:03.000
<v Speaker 22>what I could do if anything?

2419
02:15:03.439 --> 02:15:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry about that. I remember your call.

2420
02:15:07.840 --> 02:15:11.760
<v Speaker 2>So something has killed the bark on that side. We've

2421
02:15:11.800 --> 02:15:14.960
<v Speaker 2>seen a lot of that from some past freezes. We

2422
02:15:15.039 --> 02:15:18.159
<v Speaker 2>had a few years ago that killed bark, and then

2423
02:15:18.199 --> 02:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it just progressed and the tree now is trying to

2424
02:15:21.960 --> 02:15:25.079
<v Speaker 2>heal over from the sides. Like if you pull pulled

2425
02:15:25.079 --> 02:15:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the dead bark off, the loose bark needs to just

2426
02:15:27.439 --> 02:15:30.239
<v Speaker 2>come off there and you'll probably see the tree trying

2427
02:15:30.359 --> 02:15:33.119
<v Speaker 2>trying to heal over. Now, a big giant tree like

2428
02:15:33.159 --> 02:15:35.479
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't have the vigor kind of like us, you know,

2429
02:15:35.520 --> 02:15:40.159
<v Speaker 2>we had more vigor when we were younger, Michael, But

2430
02:15:41.000 --> 02:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't have the vigor to close that wound real fast,

2431
02:15:44.640 --> 02:15:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, and heal it over. So you're gonna have

2432
02:15:46.000 --> 02:15:47.399
<v Speaker 2>to kind of watch it. It may be a very

2433
02:15:47.399 --> 02:15:50.760
<v Speaker 2>long term thing. That's a very problematic. There's nothing to

2434
02:15:50.800 --> 02:15:53.319
<v Speaker 2>spray on it. There's nothing to do for it other

2435
02:15:53.399 --> 02:15:57.680
<v Speaker 2>than avoid stress. So in summer heat and drought, adequate

2436
02:15:57.720 --> 02:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>watering so that tree maintained vigor to close that over

2437
02:16:01.760 --> 02:16:05.920
<v Speaker 2>is important. Fertilizing is always helpful, but when a tree

2438
02:16:06.000 --> 02:16:09.079
<v Speaker 2>hits that stage, it's hard to get a lot of

2439
02:16:09.079 --> 02:16:11.760
<v Speaker 2>benefit out of the fertilizing for the sake of the tree.

2440
02:16:12.079 --> 02:16:15.800
<v Speaker 2>So ash trees are notorious for having problems as they

2441
02:16:15.800 --> 02:16:17.920
<v Speaker 2>get older, And that sounds like one that's been around

2442
02:16:17.920 --> 02:16:21.359
<v Speaker 2>a very long time, and it may ultimately end up

2443
02:16:21.359 --> 02:16:23.399
<v Speaker 2>being something that has to be taken down. You might

2444
02:16:23.439 --> 02:16:26.159
<v Speaker 2>want to call Martin spoon Moore with Affordable Tree, have

2445
02:16:26.319 --> 02:16:28.800
<v Speaker 2>him come look at it and just make an assessment.

2446
02:16:29.399 --> 02:16:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Ash is not a super strong tree, and so you

2447
02:16:32.520 --> 02:16:35.399
<v Speaker 2>start to get decay in there, and now you've got

2448
02:16:35.399 --> 02:16:38.760
<v Speaker 2>a hazard that gets a little worse each year, the

2449
02:16:39.280 --> 02:16:46.479
<v Speaker 2>potential for injury. Okay, good to have you with us,

2450
02:16:47.120 --> 02:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for hanging around. Guess what we have got thirty

2451
02:16:50.000 --> 02:16:52.959
<v Speaker 2>minutes left today in Guardline. I'll be back tomorrow morning

2452
02:16:53.000 --> 02:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>from six to ten. Every Saturday and Sunday six to ten.

2453
02:16:56.520 --> 02:16:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Tell your neighbors and friends you've got family in other

2454
02:16:58.600 --> 02:17:01.079
<v Speaker 2>parts of the country. They're welcome listen if they don't

2455
02:17:01.319 --> 02:17:04.760
<v Speaker 2>like to. We do have listeners from other states as well.

2456
02:17:05.559 --> 02:17:10.559
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, the more the merrier, let's join in warre

2457
02:17:10.639 --> 02:17:13.799
<v Speaker 2>in Southern gardens is out there in Kingwood, Texas. Orrens

2458
02:17:13.840 --> 02:17:17.159
<v Speaker 2>and Kingwood Garden Center are two outstanding garden centers in

2459
02:17:17.200 --> 02:17:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the Kingwood area. And when you go, you're always going

2460
02:17:19.920 --> 02:17:22.360
<v Speaker 2>to find the kinds of things you hear me talk

2461
02:17:22.399 --> 02:17:24.879
<v Speaker 2>about on garden Line. So when I talk about fertilizers,

2462
02:17:24.920 --> 02:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>and you talk about soil quality, soil products, they've got

2463
02:17:28.200 --> 02:17:31.120
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff. If right now you're looking for

2464
02:17:31.200 --> 02:17:34.639
<v Speaker 2>fall color, oh my gosh, they are loaded with fault

2465
02:17:34.840 --> 02:17:39.520
<v Speaker 2>loaded with fall color. They have the fertilizers I was

2466
02:17:39.520 --> 02:17:41.760
<v Speaker 2>talking about the fall special earlier, I was talking about

2467
02:17:42.239 --> 02:17:44.719
<v Speaker 2>from Nitroros and Nelson's carbon load. They got both of

2468
02:17:44.760 --> 02:17:48.040
<v Speaker 2>those there. By the way, they have things that are

2469
02:17:48.120 --> 02:17:51.079
<v Speaker 2>organic like Nitrofossis, Sweet Green and micro Life sixty four.

2470
02:17:51.159 --> 02:17:54.079
<v Speaker 2>They carry those. If you need to knock out weeds,

2471
02:17:54.360 --> 02:17:57.040
<v Speaker 2>they've got the products to do that as a pre emergent.

2472
02:17:57.159 --> 02:18:00.639
<v Speaker 2>And of course Azemte I talked about that forest fall

2473
02:18:00.680 --> 02:18:03.600
<v Speaker 2>color is concerned. How about a beautiful mom loaded with

2474
02:18:03.680 --> 02:18:07.440
<v Speaker 2>moms out there. They've got ornamental kale and all the

2475
02:18:07.520 --> 02:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>other snapdragons and other beautiful flowers that we need to

2476
02:18:11.239 --> 02:18:13.840
<v Speaker 2>carry us on into the cool weather. This far south,

2477
02:18:14.520 --> 02:18:17.520
<v Speaker 2>we get to cheat a lot on fall. We can

2478
02:18:17.600 --> 02:18:20.079
<v Speaker 2>carry things a lot further than you can as you

2479
02:18:20.120 --> 02:18:22.840
<v Speaker 2>move further north in Texas. And that's just an extra

2480
02:18:22.879 --> 02:18:26.040
<v Speaker 2>special deal. Pumpkin patch is open and ready for you

2481
02:18:26.079 --> 02:18:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to pick your perfect pumpkin, as well as plenty of

02:19:20.559 --> 02:19:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Hello Diana, and welcome to garden Line.

2499
02:19:23.200 --> 02:19:26.159
<v Speaker 15>Good morning. SKIP communicating with you a lot for the

2500
02:19:26.239 --> 02:19:29.040
<v Speaker 15>last two months trying to restore our yard. And there

2501
02:19:29.120 --> 02:19:31.840
<v Speaker 15>was a caller that called in earlier and they just

2502
02:19:31.879 --> 02:19:34.559
<v Speaker 15>called the tail end of it. But you were recommending

2503
02:19:34.639 --> 02:19:36.559
<v Speaker 15>something like a three and one. I think you said

2504
02:19:36.559 --> 02:19:40.200
<v Speaker 15>eagle turf. What was that that you were mentioning to them.

2505
02:19:40.239 --> 02:19:42.079
<v Speaker 15>I think it was about the pre emergence and some

2506
02:19:42.159 --> 02:19:43.879
<v Speaker 15>other What was that product?

2507
02:19:44.239 --> 02:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it was three different products that are part of

2508
02:19:47.399 --> 02:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>nitrofoss Fall three step program. Okay, and so the car step. Yeah,

2509
02:19:55.479 --> 02:20:00.239
<v Speaker 2>the three products or a fertilizer, a weed prevention, and

2510
02:20:00.280 --> 02:20:06.040
<v Speaker 2>a disease prevention. So the most time important ones right

2511
02:20:06.079 --> 02:20:09.920
<v Speaker 2>now are to get the pre emergent we'd prevention in

2512
02:20:10.000 --> 02:20:15.280
<v Speaker 2>other words, product barricade down, and to get the disease

2513
02:20:15.479 --> 02:20:22.079
<v Speaker 2>prevention product, which is called eagle down because weed sprouting

2514
02:20:22.440 --> 02:20:24.319
<v Speaker 2>is going to happen as soon as the weather drops

2515
02:20:24.319 --> 02:20:29.239
<v Speaker 2>and we get a cold front and the disease arrival,

2516
02:20:29.280 --> 02:20:31.520
<v Speaker 2>the brown pats, the big brown circles you're seeing people's

2517
02:20:31.559 --> 02:20:34.559
<v Speaker 2>yard and take all those infect in the fall too.

2518
02:20:34.719 --> 02:20:39.239
<v Speaker 2>And then the eagle tour fungicides, I mean the fall special,

2519
02:20:39.280 --> 02:20:42.760
<v Speaker 2>which is their fertilizer, is good to get down because

2520
02:20:42.799 --> 02:20:45.719
<v Speaker 2>it gives your grasp more time to get strong going

2521
02:20:45.760 --> 02:20:47.319
<v Speaker 2>into the fall winter season.

2522
02:20:47.440 --> 02:20:52.399
<v Speaker 15>Okay, So it's the disease prevention and it's all by

2523
02:20:52.680 --> 02:20:53.440
<v Speaker 15>Nacha Falls.

2524
02:20:55.319 --> 02:21:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's by Nitrofas. It's all three fertilizer free, disease, ease,

2525
02:21:00.840 --> 02:21:03.479

2578
02:24:00.399 --> 02:24:02.559
<v Speaker 2>few laps to go. I'd have to give us a call.

2579
02:24:02.879 --> 02:24:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Seven one three two one two k t r H.

2580
02:24:05.520 --> 02:24:09.959
<v Speaker 2>Seven one three two one two k t r H.

2581
02:24:10.000 --> 02:24:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I've talked about a number of different things today, and

2582
02:24:13.120 --> 02:24:16.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, wisdom hopefully to help you have a better

2583
02:24:17.239 --> 02:24:20.200
<v Speaker 2>success rate and all the things you plant and want

2584
02:24:20.200 --> 02:24:23.040
<v Speaker 2>to grow. Uh. You know I mentioned that for those

2585
02:24:23.079 --> 02:24:25.360
<v Speaker 2>of you who tuned in a little later, I talked

2586
02:24:25.360 --> 02:24:28.840
<v Speaker 2>about the fall aster that is now blooming in area lawns.

2587
02:24:28.920 --> 02:24:34.399
<v Speaker 2>It's the little tiny dime sized white and light lavender blooms.

2588
02:24:34.680 --> 02:24:37.079
<v Speaker 2>White and light lavender. You got to pull those up, folks.

2589
02:24:37.120 --> 02:24:39.399
<v Speaker 2>There's no spray that's going to kill them. At this stage,

2590
02:24:40.280 --> 02:24:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the blooms turned to seeds. One plant can have five

2591
02:24:43.639 --> 02:24:46.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand seeds on it, literally it can.

2592
02:24:46.239 --> 02:24:46.399
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

2593
02:24:46.479 --> 02:24:49.600
<v Speaker 2>They're tap rooted, so they're easy to pull. Water the soil,

2594
02:24:49.680 --> 02:24:51.840
<v Speaker 2>get it good and soft, so you can grab that

2595
02:24:51.840 --> 02:24:53.760
<v Speaker 2>weed at the base, at the base of the or

2596
02:24:53.799 --> 02:24:55.799
<v Speaker 2>at the top of the root base of the plant

2597
02:24:56.159 --> 02:24:58.479
<v Speaker 2>and wiggle it right out of the ground. And there

2598
02:24:58.479 --> 02:25:01.280
<v Speaker 2>you go. You are in good shape in terms of

2599
02:25:01.319 --> 02:25:05.399
<v Speaker 2>getting hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of weeds. He's

2600
02:25:05.440 --> 02:25:07.719
<v Speaker 2>out of your yard. That'll be back next year. If

2601
02:25:07.840 --> 02:25:10.520
<v Speaker 2>you don't deal with them. That is important. You gotta

2602
02:25:10.639 --> 02:25:13.600
<v Speaker 2>deal with them. And a lot of people put things off.

2603
02:25:13.840 --> 02:25:17.559
<v Speaker 2>I know that I do that myself, and it's just

2604
02:25:17.600 --> 02:25:20.440
<v Speaker 2>not right. You're making a mistake. You do not want

2605
02:25:20.479 --> 02:25:21.959
<v Speaker 2>to do that. Get those things out of there.

2606
02:25:22.280 --> 02:25:22.399
<v Speaker 5>Now.

2607
02:25:22.719 --> 02:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>There are not a lot of weeds that I'm going

2608
02:25:24.239 --> 02:25:25.600
<v Speaker 2>to say, oh, you got to go hand pull it.

2609
02:25:25.799 --> 02:25:28.959
<v Speaker 2>This is one. It just it really shows up in

2610
02:25:29.000 --> 02:25:32.959
<v Speaker 2>the fall. The foliage is blue green color, dark blue

2611
02:25:32.959 --> 02:25:37.399
<v Speaker 2>green color, I don't know, kind of a teal, but darker,

2612
02:25:37.520 --> 02:25:41.399
<v Speaker 2>much darker, uh, And it spreads out and covers a

2613
02:25:41.399 --> 02:25:43.559
<v Speaker 2>lot of area. You notice it when the flowers show up.

2614
02:25:43.600 --> 02:25:47.959
<v Speaker 2>That's when it really shows up. So anyway, but I

2615
02:25:47.959 --> 02:25:50.559
<v Speaker 2>hope you're enjoying gardening. By the way out there, I

2616
02:25:50.600 --> 02:25:53.239
<v Speaker 2>am having one of the best years in the garden

2617
02:25:53.239 --> 02:25:55.760
<v Speaker 2>that I've had. And it's not because everything's growing right,

2618
02:25:55.920 --> 02:25:59.559
<v Speaker 2>It's just because, you know, as little by little I

2619
02:26:00.239 --> 02:26:03.520
<v Speaker 2>continue to develop my landscape and develop my garden and

2620
02:26:03.920 --> 02:26:07.159
<v Speaker 2>try new plants and enjoy the new plants that we

2621
02:26:07.200 --> 02:26:10.399
<v Speaker 2>have out there. It's just fun. And you know, gardeners

2622
02:26:10.799 --> 02:26:15.200
<v Speaker 2>are optimists. They really are. Gardeners are the ultimate optimists.

2623
02:26:15.559 --> 02:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, take a packet of seed and dump those

2624
02:26:18.000 --> 02:26:20.000
<v Speaker 2>seeds in your hand and look at them. What do

2625
02:26:20.079 --> 02:26:24.280
<v Speaker 2>they look like? I mean, it's detritus, it's debris, and

2626
02:26:24.399 --> 02:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>it's lifeless, but inside is life. And you put it

2627
02:26:27.680 --> 02:26:30.959
<v Speaker 2>in the ground and it sprouts and it begins to grow,

2628
02:26:31.159 --> 02:26:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's just amazing that you can put a tomato

2629
02:26:35.639 --> 02:26:39.959
<v Speaker 2>or a green bean or a zenia flower seed in

2630
02:26:40.040 --> 02:26:44.959
<v Speaker 2>the ground and you did that, You created that thing,

2631
02:26:45.159 --> 02:26:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's wonderful. Gardeners are always you know, there's

2632
02:26:49.399 --> 02:26:53.600
<v Speaker 2>a quote from an English aristocrat from back in oh

2633
02:26:53.639 --> 02:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, a late eighteen nineties or maybe early

2634
02:26:56.920 --> 02:26:59.959
<v Speaker 2>nineteen hundreds. It says the most noteworthy thing about gardeners

2635
02:27:00.159 --> 02:27:06.360
<v Speaker 2>is that they are always optimistic, always enterprising, and never satisfied.

2636
02:27:06.559 --> 02:27:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that the case? It's true, and continuing the quote,

2637
02:27:10.879 --> 02:27:14.120
<v Speaker 2>they always look forward to doing something better than they've

2638
02:27:14.120 --> 02:27:17.280
<v Speaker 2>ever done before. I can tell you this next spring,

2639
02:27:17.319 --> 02:27:19.600
<v Speaker 2>when I plant a tomato, it's going to be the

2640
02:27:19.639 --> 02:27:24.200
<v Speaker 2>best tomato season ever. It's always that way. When you

2641
02:27:24.280 --> 02:27:26.239
<v Speaker 2>put a peach tree in the ground and I hope

2642
02:27:26.239 --> 02:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>you're planning some fruit this winter, can you just taste

2643
02:27:29.920 --> 02:27:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the peaches and can you picture a tree loaded with fruit?

2644
02:27:33.200 --> 02:27:36.639
<v Speaker 2>That's how we are as gardeners. We're always optimistic, and

2645
02:27:36.680 --> 02:27:39.959
<v Speaker 2>we went never satisfied, not in a negative way, just

2646
02:27:40.040 --> 02:27:42.319
<v Speaker 2>in I can do better. I'm going to get better

2647
02:27:42.360 --> 02:27:46.079
<v Speaker 2>at this, and that's how it works. That's how it works.

2648
02:27:46.440 --> 02:27:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I think Abraham Lincoln had a pretty good way of

2649
02:27:49.360 --> 02:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>looking at things. And he wasn't just talking about gardening,

2650
02:27:54.360 --> 02:27:56.559
<v Speaker 2>but he used a gardening analogy, and he said, we

2651
02:27:56.600 --> 02:27:59.719
<v Speaker 2>can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or we can

2652
02:27:59.760 --> 02:28:04.639
<v Speaker 2>read joice because thornbushes have roses. Gardeners look at it

2653
02:28:05.000 --> 02:28:09.239
<v Speaker 2>the second way, the upside of things. It's always going

2654
02:28:09.280 --> 02:28:11.520
<v Speaker 2>to get better. I know I'm getting philosophical here and

2655
02:28:11.600 --> 02:28:15.280
<v Speaker 2>droning on, but sometimes I think we get lost in

2656
02:28:15.440 --> 02:28:18.239
<v Speaker 2>all the how tos and the y too's and all

2657
02:28:18.280 --> 02:28:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of that, and we just forget the wonder and the

2658
02:28:21.360 --> 02:28:25.200
<v Speaker 2>joy and the rejuvenation and the restoration that comes with

2659
02:28:25.319 --> 02:28:28.319
<v Speaker 2>a wonderful hobby of gardening. All right, enough of me.

2660
02:28:28.840 --> 02:28:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Champions and talk to Matt. Hey, Matt,

2661
02:28:31.840 --> 02:28:35.280
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden Line. Thank you, good morning.

2662
02:28:36.079 --> 02:28:39.360
<v Speaker 26>I've got a backyard that's getting pretty much overrun with

2663
02:28:39.520 --> 02:28:43.799
<v Speaker 26>Virginia button weed, and can I just leave it there?

2664
02:28:43.840 --> 02:28:47.520
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't look bad or I've heard yeah, it gets

2665
02:28:47.520 --> 02:28:50.760
<v Speaker 2>worse and worse and worse. Two things, Matt. Number One,

2666
02:28:51.079 --> 02:28:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the more you can drive that area out, the better.

2667
02:28:53.360 --> 02:28:55.719
<v Speaker 2>It can't control the rain, but you can't control irrigation,

2668
02:28:56.120 --> 02:28:59.120
<v Speaker 2>so that slows button weed down when it has to

2669
02:29:00.120 --> 02:29:03.280
<v Speaker 2>struggle with not enough water. Lawns can live on less

2670
02:29:03.280 --> 02:29:06.360
<v Speaker 2>water than button weed. It's going to thrive on. Secondly,

2671
02:29:06.479 --> 02:29:10.520
<v Speaker 2>there's a product called Celsius that you can spray and

2672
02:29:11.000 --> 02:29:13.079
<v Speaker 2>you're going to want to treat it. You could treat

2673
02:29:13.079 --> 02:29:16.600
<v Speaker 2>it now we're going into fall. I would definitely in

2674
02:29:16.760 --> 02:29:19.600
<v Speaker 2>spring treat it. Any of the button weed you can

2675
02:29:19.680 --> 02:29:21.600
<v Speaker 2>get out of there. And if it's so thick, this

2676
02:29:21.719 --> 02:29:24.920
<v Speaker 2>is impractical, I understand. But every time you pull a

2677
02:29:24.959 --> 02:29:26.520
<v Speaker 2>little strip of it out, you're not getting rid of

2678
02:29:26.520 --> 02:29:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the button weed. But all along that string you pull

2679
02:29:29.040 --> 02:29:32.520
<v Speaker 2>out is little buttons that are the seeds, and so

2680
02:29:32.760 --> 02:29:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you cut down on next year that way. So that

2681
02:29:36.159 --> 02:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>would be helpful. But if you just want to go

2682
02:29:39.159 --> 02:29:42.559
<v Speaker 2>the easier route celsius, do it in the spring when

2683
02:29:42.559 --> 02:29:45.319
<v Speaker 2>it warms up enough for button weed to be actively growing.

2684
02:29:45.959 --> 02:29:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Do it again about probably three or four or five

2685
02:29:49.319 --> 02:29:52.239
<v Speaker 2>weeks later. Do the celsius again.

2686
02:29:52.760 --> 02:29:55.399
<v Speaker 26>Okay, I've got a lot of it. If I do that,

2687
02:29:55.959 --> 02:29:58.719
<v Speaker 26>it'll kill the button weed. And will I be just

2688
02:29:58.840 --> 02:30:01.440
<v Speaker 26>left with fair dirt? Do I have to resider while

2689
02:30:01.479 --> 02:30:03.000
<v Speaker 26>the Saint Augustine come back?

2690
02:30:03.920 --> 02:30:06.719
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of I miss the very first part

2691
02:30:06.719 --> 02:30:08.520
<v Speaker 2>of that what you were saying. Say it again.

2692
02:30:09.319 --> 02:30:12.360
<v Speaker 26>All right, I have a lot of button weed. If

2693
02:30:13.159 --> 02:30:17.200
<v Speaker 26>I spray it with celsius, will it just leave bear dirt?

2694
02:30:17.760 --> 02:30:19.360
<v Speaker 26>Will the same come?

2695
02:30:20.719 --> 02:30:20.799
<v Speaker 5>No?

2696
02:30:21.440 --> 02:30:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Your lawn can can take the celsius as long as

2697
02:30:24.440 --> 02:30:29.360
<v Speaker 2>the temperature is not above the low nineties. But yeah,

2698
02:30:29.520 --> 02:30:31.760
<v Speaker 2>you can use that. You just want the button weed

2699
02:30:31.799 --> 02:30:35.479
<v Speaker 2>to be actively growing, so the celsius works best. And

2700
02:30:35.520 --> 02:30:37.639
<v Speaker 2>that's why the longer we get into fall and it's

2701
02:30:37.760 --> 02:30:40.079
<v Speaker 2>cools off and it starts turning kind of purple looking,

2702
02:30:41.159 --> 02:30:44.879
<v Speaker 2>that that is not as susceptible as a celsius. Okay,

2703
02:30:46.399 --> 02:30:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm running a kind of short on the time, so

2704
02:30:49.040 --> 02:30:51.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna run. But good luck with that.

2705
02:30:52.079 --> 02:30:54.600
<v Speaker 2>And that's my best advice for you on the button weed.

2706
02:30:55.239 --> 02:30:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to clear Lake and talk to Nef. Hey, Nef,

2707
02:30:57.399 --> 02:30:58.319
<v Speaker 2>welcome to gardenline.

2708
02:30:58.959 --> 02:31:02.120
<v Speaker 16>Hey, good MORI skip real quick. I'm fixing the laid

2709
02:31:02.120 --> 02:31:05.639
<v Speaker 16>down my fungicide this morning and do my pre emerging

2710
02:31:05.799 --> 02:31:07.079
<v Speaker 16>herbicide probably.

2711
02:31:06.799 --> 02:31:09.639
<v Speaker 25>In a couple of days. I got two smaller dogs.

2712
02:31:09.719 --> 02:31:14.520
<v Speaker 25>I always battle with this. How long until after I

2713
02:31:14.680 --> 02:31:15.920
<v Speaker 25>water it down.

2714
02:31:15.920 --> 02:31:19.600
<v Speaker 16>After I've sprayed it or whatever, not sprayed it, but

2715
02:31:19.840 --> 02:31:21.440
<v Speaker 16>laid it down the granules?

2716
02:31:21.719 --> 02:31:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Can the dogs go out there? Look at the label

2717
02:31:25.959 --> 02:31:28.440
<v Speaker 2>and it'll tell you if there is a restriction on

2718
02:31:28.520 --> 02:31:31.760
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Uh, tell me again the name of

2719
02:31:31.760 --> 02:31:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the product, please.

2720
02:31:33.079 --> 02:31:35.159
<v Speaker 16>It's it's all nitro fast that I use. It's the

2721
02:31:35.159 --> 02:31:37.000
<v Speaker 16>fungicide pre emerging herbicide.

2722
02:31:37.040 --> 02:31:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Be the eagle. Yeah, on all of those. On all

2723
02:31:41.360 --> 02:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of those, you're gonna apply them.

2724
02:31:43.280 --> 02:31:43.680
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

2725
02:31:43.719 --> 02:31:46.840
<v Speaker 2>And the barricade, you're gonna water in. The fertilizer, you're

2726
02:31:46.840 --> 02:31:51.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna water in. Uh. Let let the spray the the

2727
02:31:51.840 --> 02:31:55.040
<v Speaker 2>eagle on the ground or no, it's a granular Apply

2728
02:31:55.120 --> 02:31:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the eagle and then water it into and you should

2729
02:31:57.600 --> 02:32:00.159
<v Speaker 2>be good to go because the grass takes the go

2730
02:32:00.280 --> 02:32:01.319
<v Speaker 2>up through the roots. Also.

2731
02:32:02.479 --> 02:32:05.600
<v Speaker 25>Yeah, but how long until it's safe for the dogs

2732
02:32:05.600 --> 02:32:06.920
<v Speaker 25>to go back on the grass?

2733
02:32:06.959 --> 02:32:07.760
<v Speaker 16>Is what I'm asking?

2734
02:32:08.760 --> 02:32:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, the best answer, because it's the law, is

2735
02:32:12.280 --> 02:32:15.479
<v Speaker 2>the label. So whatever the label says. But I would say,

2736
02:32:15.559 --> 02:32:17.719
<v Speaker 2>if you watered in really good and let it dry,

2737
02:32:18.000 --> 02:32:20.639
<v Speaker 2>then that's fine to move on out there. But go

2738
02:32:20.680 --> 02:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>to the label instead of my comment there because I'm

2739
02:32:23.959 --> 02:32:27.959
<v Speaker 2>not the I'm not the official one day answer. Okay, label,

2740
02:32:28.079 --> 02:32:32.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, I appreciate it. Thank you, Skip, Yeah, thanks

2741
02:32:32.639 --> 02:32:37.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot, appreciate you being a listener. Thanks for calling in. Well, folks,
