00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 2>This is a calling show, so this time I'm just

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna give you the number right up front. I usually

6
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 2>think of it somewhere half way through the first second,

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 2>but seven one three two one two k t r H.

8
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Seven one three two one two k t r GENI

9
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>side to write that mot a sticker, put it on

10
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 2>your phone on the back side. You know where a

11
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>little pop out button is, uh refrigerator. You can tattoo

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>it on your forearm, but I don't. I don't think

13
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>we got anybody that dedicated to going in the garden line.

14
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>But you're welcome to seven one three two one two

15
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>k t r H. I'm your host, Skip Richter. And

16
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>why am I here? Well, I'm here because I want

17
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>you to have more fun gardening, and I want you

18
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>to guard your gardens to be more bountiful, and I

19
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>want them to be more beautiful. I feel like you

20
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 2>know that's what you want too, so let's figure out

21
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>how to make that happen. Guarding is not rocket science,

22
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>you know. One thing about biology, about plant science, about

23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>horticulture is everything is responding to certain things going on

24
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 2>around it. For example, a plant gets sunlight on the leaves,

25
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 2>carbohydrates hydrates start to get made, and that plant gets

26
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>healthy and grows and blooms and fruits and does all

27
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 2>the things you wanted to do. Good moisture in the

28
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 2>soil allows the nutrients to move into the roots so

29
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the plant can grow and make blooms and fruit and

30
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 2>growth and beauty and everything you want. You see what

31
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. It's simple stuff. It's like how much sunlight

32
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 2>does a plant want? How consistent does the moisture need

33
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>to be? Does it really require good drainage and insures?

34
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 2>Almost always yes, not always, but usually yes. You know,

35
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>what are the nutrients and the pH that the plant likes,

36
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>And as we get plants those things they respond in

37
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 2>the way they're programmed to do, and we end up

38
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>enjoying that beautiful landscape. You know, everyone, I've heard many

39
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>times people say, my grandma, she could stick a pencil

40
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>in the ground and it would grow a pine tree,

41
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, stuff like that. Well, grandma was good at gardening.

42
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Ba's just because Grandma knew what to do. She doesn't

43
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 2>have a green thumb. There are no green thumbs. And

44
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 2>as a result, you just got to figure out how

45
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 2>to inform your thumb. Because when you inform your thumb,

46
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>it makes your excuse me, when you inform your thumb,

47
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>it makes it greener. That is as simple as it gets,

48
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>just as if it's ABC's right. And that's what we're

49
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>going to work on today. We're going to help you

50
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>have success by giving you some good information to get

51
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>you off to a good start. You've heard me talk

52
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>about quality home before. Quality home products of Texas are.

53
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>They are the makers of the Generatic Generac automatic standby generator.

54
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Those sit outside your house, power goes off, they come on.

55
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>You didn't even have to get out of the lazy

56
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 2>boy and move over to the outside to fire something up.

57
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>They do it for you. And there are quality products

58
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and that is why quality carries them. You know, quality

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.000

77
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 2>welcome to Gardenline.

78
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Good morning.

79
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 4>You doing okay, Skiff?

80
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>I am doing really really well. You know, I used

81
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>to not be a morning person, and I just kind

82
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>of get excited about getting up in morning to do this.

83
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>So I'm doing great. Thank you for asking.

84
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, I have a cat with a big fat mouth

85
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 5>when she's hungry.

86
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh, Okay.

87
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 5>My question is I bought it to made a plane

88
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 5>at southwest on this and it, I know, it was

89
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 5>late in the season, grew kind of tall, and it

90
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 5>blew a couple of times, and then I noticed the

91
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 5>leaves were curling up and turning a little brown, and said,

92
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 5>what's going on? So I noticed that there was some

93
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 5>kind of looks like a spider web over the lea.

94
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 5>So I said, oh, the of a book, but I

95
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 5>didn't know what. So I pulled off most of the

96
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 5>leaves that looked like they were dried up and infective, like

97
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 5>the side sprut leaves, and I sprayed it within sicknessidals.

98
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 5>So it came webbing, came back and start curling up again.

99
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 5>So I did any gain, And now it really didn't

100
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 5>look good. So what should I have done?

101
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>What is that? I think you're seeing spider mites. You know,

102
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.639
<v Speaker 2>a spider could make a web on your tomato, but

103
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 2>that would just be to catch bugs. But spider mites

104
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 2>form a webbing. And you see that some of what

105
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you're describing. Get a white sheet of paper, like typing paper,

106
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 2>and put it underneath a leaf that's losing some color

107
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot, and take your thumb forefinger just thump that

108
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 2>leaf really hard and look at the paper and if

109
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 2>you see little tiny specks kind of reddish brown that

110
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>are moving around real slow, that's spider mites. And if

111
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>that's the case at this point in the season, I

112
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>don't think i'd do anything. You know, we're getting close

113
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 2>enough to when we could have a frost that I

114
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 2>don't think there's a lot of recovery growth, setting fruit

115
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>and ripening fruit that can happen between now and then.

116
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>So I would take a strong blast of water with

117
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.160
<v Speaker 2>the hose and on the end of a gun, on

118
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>the end of a garden hose, and I would just

119
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>blast those things, especially pointing upward. If you find the

120
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>spider mites next year, we can talk about other things

121
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>to do if that starts to show up.

122
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, the insect thats up didn't really do any do

123
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 5>a thing.

124
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you catch them early with it, it does

125
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 2>before they make all that webbing, which kind of keeps

126
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 2>the soap mist off of them.

127
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:48.720
<v Speaker 6>You know.

128
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 5>I put it in a pot where I could pull

129
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 5>it in and take care of it for the winter

130
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 5>and of meat. Okay, but it's not going to It's

131
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 5>on its way out right now. But thank you for

132
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 5>the information. I'm giving enough.

133
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, But check for those mites like I described with

134
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the piece of paper right now, because that way, at

135
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>least you know what you're looking for next year. You know,

136
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>you recognize the symptom and you know what they look like,

137
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 2>so you can do that same check next year if

138
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 2>things start to look a little off. Hey, I appreciate

139
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>you call Alicia. Thanks for calling.

140

00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 2>on Guardline. Thanks for listening in. I appreciate that. I

145
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>hope you've got you a cup of coffee and at

146
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>least one I open. We've got gardening to talk about today.

147
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I had a great time yesterday out

148
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>at Katie A's store on Pinoak, and I think everybody

149
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 2>that came out we had a lot of different questions,

150
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.199
<v Speaker 2>and which is I just enjoy that because every question

151
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>is because somebody is trying to be a better gardener.

152
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>They're trying to have success, trying to fix a problem.

153
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>They're trying to you see what I'm saying, And it's

154
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>just fun. Helping people, and we did a lot of

155
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 2>that out there. Thanks for the folks at night Fross

156
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>for donating. We have a lot of bags of nitro

157
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Fross fertilizers out too. That was fun. By the way,

158
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the night Frost right now. You know, the thing I'm

159
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 2>talking about, the nitroposs question or tip of the season

160
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 2>really is their three step program because there's three things

161
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>that are happening in our lawns. Number One, your lawn

162
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 2>is taking up nutrients to try to help itself get

163
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>stronger going into winter. Number Two, the weeds that sprout

164
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>that become big problems in the spring. They're sprouting now

165
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>and you need to stop that. Don't let them do that.

166
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Wherever sunlight hits a soil, nature plants of weeds. So

167
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>if your lawn is thin, if your lawn has been struggling,

168
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>it just you know, isn't super super dense, you're gonna

169
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 2>have weeds pop up. That's how that works. Third third

170
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 2>step is the eagle to our fund to side. Third

171
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>thing happening in lawns is that brown now called large

172
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 2>patch or take all root rud also are infecting lawns

173
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>at this time of the year. So if you are

174
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna take care of those three things you need the

175
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>three step programs. So that's the Fall Special Winter Riser fertilizer.

176
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:19.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a brown bag that is for this time of year.

177
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 2>It's the fertilizer you put on in the fall to

178
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 2>help the plant get into winter stronger, come out of

179
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 2>winter stronger. Number two barricade for barricade herbicide. You put

180
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it down and it prevents weed seeds from sprouting and establishing.

181
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.759
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't kill an existing weed, but clover, handbit, chickweed,

182
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>carpet weed, cleavers, just on and on, all those cool

183
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 2>season weeds. They're going to be a mess in the spring.

184
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.919
<v Speaker 2>You'll be calling guarden line. They'll be you know, big

185
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>knee high weeds in my lawn. And where do they

186
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 2>come from? Well, they started now, They started right now,

187
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 2>and you can prevent that with barricade. Third is eagle

188
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>third fungry side. You put it down. It goes in

189
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the a grass plant and when a disease tries to attack,

190
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 2>it's there to protect it. Okay, Three steps Fall Special

191
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>wind Riser, Nitrofist, Barricade, Eagle turf fungicide. Just get all three.

192
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Put them all down on the same day. Just put

193
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 2>down one, come back, put down the next one, come back,

194
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>load up, put down the third one. Then water everything

195
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.159
<v Speaker 2>in with a half inch of water, about a half

196
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 2>inch of irrigation, and that'll move them all down to

197
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the soil. None of those three do you any good

198
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 2>until you get them down into the soil with water.

199
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to make that point again. None of those

200
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>three are going to help you. They all work, but

201
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to help you until you water them

202
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 2>in with a half inch of water. When they get

203
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>in the soil, that's where they do everything they do,

204
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.240
<v Speaker 2>even the fungicide. It's taken up by the roots and

205
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the plant gets it internally so that it can fight

206
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 2>off disease. All right, I hope that's clear. But thanks

207
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.080
<v Speaker 2>again to Katie A. S Hardware for having us out.

208
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>We had a really good time. You were listening to

209
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>garden Line. Our phone number is seven to one three

210
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 2>two one two kt r H seven one three two

211
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 2>one two kt RH. You know, falls the time to plant,

212
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and you need to be getting your beds ready if

213
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 2>they're not already ready, so you can get this planting done.

214
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.519
<v Speaker 2>But it's also a good time to get ready for spring.

215
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, we get into winter and early spring and

216
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe we've got a whole bunch of rain and stuff,

217
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.399
<v Speaker 2>and you can't work the soil when it's sop and wet.

218
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 2>So why not get it ready now for even your

219
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.600
<v Speaker 2>spring garden beds that you're building, that you're planning on

220
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.879
<v Speaker 2>putting in vegetables, flowers, herbs, whatever. Landscaper's prides got you covered.

221
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>They have healthy soil composts. It's made from one hundred

222
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.799
<v Speaker 2>percent locally sourced materials. They've got the mushroom compost. It's

223
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>made from really cool stuff. It's clean local mushroom substrate. Okay,

224
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 2>so here, here's how this works. They grow mushrooms in

225
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:52.159
<v Speaker 2>this super rich substrate of decomposing organic matter, and mushrooms

226
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.679
<v Speaker 2>like that and plants like that too. When they're done

227
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 2>growing the mushrooms, they don't grow another crop in it.

228
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>They just move it out and they get some fresh

229
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 2>stuff to start over again. Well, that stuff they moved

230
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 2>out is like black gold. I wish I could show

231
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>you a picture I took in Conrod, Texas of a

232
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>vacant builders lot that was the bulldozers had scraped anything

233
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>close to soil off of it. And it was a flat,

234
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>hard mess, which is great for putting a building on,

235
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>but not a garden in We took mushroom compost who

236
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 2>spread it out there. We took a tractor disk and

237
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>just disked it in like you're plowing a field. Because

238
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 2>this is a big lot. We're putting in a test garden.

239
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 2>And when we threw a rye grass seat on it,

240
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 2>it rained. And when it came up it was night

241
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.519
<v Speaker 2>and I mean one foot away on one side there's

242
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>like yellow spinly rye grass barely growing a foot away

243
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 2>in the mushroom compost mixed soil. The rye grass is

244
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>emerald green, you know, like foot and a half high.

245
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Flopping over to it was just night and day. That's

246
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>how mushroom compost is and landscaper sprid mushroom compost first,

247
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>just really, first of all, is this super quality stuff?

248
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 2>So go to Landscaperspride dot com. Find the lot of

249
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>details there, find the store locator. I told you about

250
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:06.039
<v Speaker 2>two products, there's like two dozen plus products, and find

251
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>their social media links and follow them. It's easy to

252
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.159
<v Speaker 2>find landscapers Pride around town. Again, Landscaperspride dot com. Won't

253
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>you grow something this afternoon, I'm gonna get outside. I've

254
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 2>got a few things to kind of catch up on.

255
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Just I've got several projects that I'm getting ready for.

256
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>And I noticed that I'm on this long term effort

257
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 2>to shut down nutsedge everywhere on our property. And it

258
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>is not a one and done thing like a lot

259
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 2>of weeds can be, but non nut sets. And if

260
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 2>you want more, if you have a nutsedge issue and

261
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you want to find out how to control it, go

262
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>to my website gardening with Skip dot com. That's me

263
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 2>gardening with Skip dot com and look for the nuts

264
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.559
<v Speaker 2>edge information. Read the one about an in depth look,

265
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.440
<v Speaker 2>because I'll help you understand it. Anyway. I've got nutsedge

266
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 2>that I treated according to my schedule information up there,

267
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I treated it probably three weeks ago and it is

268
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.399
<v Speaker 2>now really yellowing and starting to go downhill, so very

269
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 2>slow process when you use the good stuff. But in

270
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.200
<v Speaker 2>that same bed, there's some green spouts coming up. Those

271
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.519
<v Speaker 2>are nuts that didn't show their face when I did

272
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.879
<v Speaker 2>my last treatment, and now they are. Guess what's going

273
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.159
<v Speaker 2>to happen to those? I'm going to use my weed wiper,

274
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>which if you want to build you one. Go to

275
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 2>my website. It's free. It's on there, and I use

276
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>my weed wiper, put the good products on it and

277
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>wipe them right on the nuts edge. I mean it

278
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.120
<v Speaker 2>takes it probably takes me maybe a cup of mixed

279
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 2>up herbicide for nuts edge when I do this, because

280
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm going all over with the weed wiper. I'm not

281
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 2>spraying gallons of this stuff all around. So anyway, it

282
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.279
<v Speaker 2>works really well, and I'll hit it again and it

283
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>will never knock on wood short of me getting ill,

284
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>it will never have a chance to get more than

285
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 2>about five leaves on it before I hit it again,

286
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and I will win. I already am winning. I've taken

287
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.600
<v Speaker 2>a huge infestation in some areas. They are down to

288
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 2>just you know here, here's one sprout tries to come up,

289
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>and there's one over there that tries to come up.

290
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 2>And so this isn't going to be long before it's over.

291
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Can't wait. Having fun doing it too. By the way,

292
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Alvin and talk to Dandy this morning.

293
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Hey Danny, welcome to Guardline.

294
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Schip. I was given some alavera and I

295
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:27.320
<v Speaker 3>need help. I need you to educate me on the

296
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 3>ways to go about it. And also what will be

297
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the difference between the alavera that I've heard and then

298
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 3>the aloe barbet insance barberat distance? Is that a different one?

299
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 3>It's one of them from Australia, is one of them

300
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.720
<v Speaker 3>from here? That's one thing, And then another thing is

301
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 3>what type of soil to use it? And will it

302
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.399
<v Speaker 3>be all right to use it down here so close

303
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.200
<v Speaker 3>to the coast where the ground stay damp.

304
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.559
<v Speaker 2>You can aliver. Yeah, Alabert doesn't want to be in

305
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.639
<v Speaker 2>a doesn't want to be in a soggy swamp, but

306
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.399
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of water is actually needed. But around

307
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 2>here you almost never have to water unless it's in

308
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.639
<v Speaker 2>a real small contation exactly.

309
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.879
<v Speaker 3>But we have flooding down here, and if we have

310
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker 3>flooding it might be uh seur ford or even half

311
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 3>a week or so when we have a hurricane that

312
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.440
<v Speaker 3>it would be underwater. So that means I'm thinking I

313
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.440
<v Speaker 3>need to I need to elevate it on a high,

314
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 3>high piece that won't flood. If I'm right on that,

315
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's.

316
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Gonna hurt you do, And yeah, well the thing you

317
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 2>got to get it up, that's right, You're right right.

318
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 3>I was given the right I was given these pots,

319
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 3>about a half a dozen that had one big one

320
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 3>and the little ones in there, and.

321
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 7>The uh uh.

322
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Senior citizens that had them, you know, retired. Uh. There

323
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.320
<v Speaker 3>were so many ants and there's so many fire that

324
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 3>they just let it set there. And they didn't want

325
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.480
<v Speaker 3>they didn't want to have the ants the fire ants

326
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.519
<v Speaker 3>spread out into the yard, so they gave it to me.

327
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 3>So I have enough problem busting the pots and getting

328
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:16.559
<v Speaker 3>the Alberta that looked good. But I don't know a

329
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.000
<v Speaker 3>few things.

330
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.880
<v Speaker 2>About Okay, well, Danny, let me I'll give you the

331
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Let me just give you all that alibero growing. Pretty

332
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.480
<v Speaker 2>much any soil over grown, a clay soil, it'll grown

333
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 2>a sandy soil. I mean, it's pretty forgiving. You want

334
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to if you're in a pot, you want to give

335
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.640
<v Speaker 2>it a really good soil, maybe a succulent type mix.

336
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.640
<v Speaker 2>It's a little bit gritty, a little bit better drained.

337
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 2>If it's in the ground, just plant and what you got.

338
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 2>It's very tough. It's very easy. I mean you can

339
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.680
<v Speaker 2>pull one up, throw it in your truck, drive around

340
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 2>for a week or two, and bring it out and

341
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>stick it in the ground. It'll grow. I mean, those

342
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>things are very tough, but you want to give it

343
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:51.880
<v Speaker 2>a little good care early on just to kind of

344
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.799
<v Speaker 2>help get it going, because your goal is to get

345
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it moving fast. And yes, Alivera and aliburbadns a different

346
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 2>barbadensis are different species. Okay, so, but most of what

347
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.680
<v Speaker 2>people have around here, you know, especially when you're trying

348
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:09.160
<v Speaker 2>to grow it for the benefits in the leaf, the

349
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 2>good stuff that for burns and that people even take

350
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 2>it ally. Uh, that's Alabera is the one you want

351
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.880
<v Speaker 2>to plant for that. But it's not hard to grow.

352
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Good sun, good son, good drainage and occasional watering. That's it.

353
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Okay, Well I want to know also where I'm digging.

354
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 3>It is in sandy soil, the black sandy soil, and

355
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.160
<v Speaker 3>there is the grub worms and the little worm that's

356
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.640
<v Speaker 3>in there. How can I keep those worms in there

357
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 3>without the What we have is a big plague right now? Okay,

358
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.920
<v Speaker 3>the little crazy ants, the little crazy ants.

359
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Go down there, and none of those none of those

360
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.839
<v Speaker 2>pests are going to none those pests are going to

361
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.640
<v Speaker 2>bother it. I'm gonna have to run here. I'm up

362
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 2>against a heartbreak. But the crazy ants won't bother it.

363
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Grub worms won't bother alibara. You're good to go. I

364
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 2>would I would never think it. I just put in

00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the ground and enjoy it. It's it's.

366
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.640
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty easy to do that. Yeah, pretty easy to do.

00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 2>five eight seven four seven one three two one two ktrh.

387
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.279
<v Speaker 2>That perhaps is the easiest way to say it. I

388
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:20.400
<v Speaker 2>talk about self as fertilizer all the time because you

389
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 2>can find stuff at Southwest Fertilizer. Yesterday I was out

390
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>in Katie, Texas, and uh, I'm visiting with a lot

391
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:31.240
<v Speaker 2>of different folks, but someone had perked was looking to

392
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 2>build a weed wiper, the one I have on my website,

393
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 2>and they had just come from there and with some

394
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 2>different products and things, and it was like, okay, wait,

395
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 2>you should have grabbed the tool there. They've got the

396
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.240
<v Speaker 2>bob has the tools there for building the weed wiper.

397
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:50.200
<v Speaker 2>It's it's act shout. It is is a graber tool

398
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:52.039
<v Speaker 2>with section cups on it, little bolts that hold the

399
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.559
<v Speaker 2>section cups on. So I mean, if you are not

400
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to do it yourself or at all, you can make this.

401
00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.599
<v Speaker 2>It is so easy. You know, any of you who

402
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 2>grew up with tinker toys. If you could do that,

403
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.880
<v Speaker 2>you can make your own weed wiper. Just go go

404
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.240
<v Speaker 2>to my website see how to do it, and then

405
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:09.279
<v Speaker 2>run by Southwest. While you're there, you're going to find herbicides,

406
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 2>in secticides, fungicides. If you're an organic gardener and you're

407
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:16.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking those are chemicals, well, I would say this Southwest

408
00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Fertilizer has the biggest selection of organic products of anybody

409
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 2>around now. They have everything synthetic, organic, whatever kind of

410
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 2>gardening you want to do, they know how to do it,

411
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 2>they do. And so you just go in there. You

412
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.839
<v Speaker 2>bring them your questions, you bring them your samples, you

413
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:33.960
<v Speaker 2>bring them a picture, You say, what is this? Can

414
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 2>you identify it? What do I do about it? How

415
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:37.480
<v Speaker 2>do I deal with it? They'll help you do that.

416
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.200
<v Speaker 2>And while you're in there, we're coming up on pruning season.

417
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.920
<v Speaker 2>They got a ninety foot wall of tools with lots

418
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.160
<v Speaker 2>of different kinds of saws and prunters, and I'm talking

419
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 2>about quality brands, not the kind you buy. And next

420
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:50.759
<v Speaker 2>thing you know that you're throwing them in the trash

421
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:52.920
<v Speaker 2>because they're all messed up and they're not working, and

422
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.079
<v Speaker 2>because they're cheap, you need to buy something this way.

423
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Cheap is expensive. When you're buying a tool, you should

424
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.480
<v Speaker 2>buy a good tool. That means buy the most expensive

425
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:03.640
<v Speaker 2>tool you can find. It just means you buy quality

426
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 2>and it lasts forever. Isn't that height It is with

427
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of different things. You buy a quality product

428
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 2>and you take care of it, and it in the

429
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.039
<v Speaker 2>long run, you have saved a lot of money that

430
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 2>you would have wasted on cheap products. Plus, when it

431
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.160
<v Speaker 2>comes to printing tools, those issues with our hands, you know,

432
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.160
<v Speaker 2>carpal tunnel and all the ill tennis elbow or all

433
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:24.440
<v Speaker 2>the different things that happens to our joints, that is

434
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.319
<v Speaker 2>reduced when you have a good quality tool. It's much

435
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>much easier to do that. All right, Southwist Fertilizers where

436
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you can get all that stuff done. Southwest Fertilizer dot Com.

<v Speaker 2>you noticed that your doors are sticking where they used

442

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:03.000
<v Speaker 2>You'll see it in the form of cracks in the

446
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 2>sheet rock inside. You'll see it in the form of

447
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>cracks in the brick on the outside, sidewalks heaving, driveways

448
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>that are cracked and heaving. That's all because our soil moves.

449
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 2>And when you have that kind of issue, you don't

450
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 2>need to put your head in the sind. You need

451
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 2>to deal with it. And the way I would strongly

452
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>recommend you deal with it is fix my slab, foundation,

453
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.680
<v Speaker 2>repair tie, and fix my slab. He knows what he's doing.

454
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 2>He's been doing this twenty three years, honest fellow. And

455
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I like his goals, and that is it's not just

456
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:33.720
<v Speaker 2>a goal, it's what he does. And that is he

457
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.319
<v Speaker 2>shows up on time, he prices it fairly, and he

458
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:42.240
<v Speaker 2>fixes it right. I don't care what plumbing, electrical, what

459
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:44.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of work you need done, when't you just like

460
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 2>someone who shows up on time, gives you a fair

461
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:50.839
<v Speaker 2>price and fixes it right, and have Tie look at

462
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.920
<v Speaker 2>it early on. He may tell you. He may well

463
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.880
<v Speaker 2>tell you, well, this isn't enough movement to worry about

464
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.680
<v Speaker 2>at this point, or here's some things that he's not

465
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>going to just like sudden dig up the neighborhood and

466
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.720
<v Speaker 2>say at the do all this stuff if you don't

467
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.440
<v Speaker 2>need to do it, tell them you're a Guardenline listener.

468
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.720
<v Speaker 2>You get a free estimate from Fix my Slab Foundation Repair.

469
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Fixmyslab dot com is the website that's easier to remember.

470
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Fix myslab dot com. Here's a phone number two eight

473
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 2>listening to garden Line and I let me give you

474
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a phone number again here seven one three two one

475
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.279
<v Speaker 2>two ktr h seven one three two one two ktr h.

476
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>So it's kind of quiet first thing in the morning,

477
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and then toward the end of the show it gets

478
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 2>crazy hectic, and so I always try to get people, Hey,

479
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 2>why don't a few of you who would call in

480
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.839
<v Speaker 2>at the last minute switch your call in the morning

481
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and we can just smooth things out and have time

482
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.559
<v Speaker 2>to talk about a lot of different things. I've got

483
00:24:54.720 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>a couple of shrubs that I'm going to shrug slash

484
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.039
<v Speaker 2>tree that I'm putting in the ground, and I just

485
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.519
<v Speaker 2>need to actually be home long enough to get it done.

486
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll be hopefully getting it done really early this week.

487
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:12.160
<v Speaker 2>But one of them is almond verbina. I love almond verbina.

488
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:16.839
<v Speaker 2>It is a very large shrub and it kind of

489
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.200
<v Speaker 2>gangly and stuff. You can share it in trim it

490
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 2>just to kind of keep it in bounds. But it

491
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.599
<v Speaker 2>produces these spikes of yellow flowers that are just they're

492
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a bottle brush maybe, you know, kind

493
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of a long, skinny thing with white flowers up and

494
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 2>down it. But the fragrance is unbelievable. And one of

495
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the aspects of gardening that I don't think we probably

496
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 2>talk about enough is fragrance. You know, we know that

497
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 2>we need textures from fine texture to bold textures. We

498
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 2>want colors, we want maybe to attract birds or butterflies

499
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.200
<v Speaker 2>or bees. You see what I'm saying. There's a lot

500
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:54.359
<v Speaker 2>of aspects of gardening, but fragrance is a huge one.

501
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:58.200
<v Speaker 2>And almond verbina, I mean that is like horticultural crack.

502
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:02.559
<v Speaker 2>It is it is. I love that say. It's like gardenias.

503
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 2>If you ever smelled Guardena's almond burbina, is that kind

504
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.599
<v Speaker 2>of quality or a fall? What is the butterfly, white

505
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:12.839
<v Speaker 2>butterfly ginger. The fragrance of that, oh, those are so good,

506
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 2>and plants offer us a lot of different fragrance. But anyway,

507
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna put an Alma barbana in and I'm locating

508
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.319
<v Speaker 2>it to the south and west of our outdoor patio.

509
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:24.559
<v Speaker 2>And the reason is that's kind of the predominant breeze

510
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 2>direction that comes through, and so I want that plant

511
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 2>to be what upwind from me. So when the when

512
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the breeze comes through that plant, I get to enjoy

513
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:38.839
<v Speaker 2>it sitting there on the patio. Just a couple of ideas,

514
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>thoughts and strategies. Hey, if you're doing any planning this fall,

515
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:45.440
<v Speaker 2>you need to get some micro grow liquid af That

516
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.039
<v Speaker 2>is a maroon looking bottle. One gallon jug of it

517
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:52.640
<v Speaker 2>will go a long long way. It contains eight different

518
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.640
<v Speaker 2>quality beneficial microbes. When I say quality microps, what I'm

519
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.039
<v Speaker 2>talking about is microbes that are out there working for you,

520
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.079
<v Speaker 2>doing a good job. These are things that fight disease

521
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that are in this. You can use it as a drench.

522
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I would say, you know, do it when you're planning plants.

523
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Get those things down there on the roots. He things

524
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.319
<v Speaker 2>live in the soil. They're natural in the soil. You

525
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:13.799
<v Speaker 2>can also if you're doing a lawn, well you could

526
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 2>put the micro Grow liquid af on a hozin spreader,

527
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 2>but I would use the micro Grow bioinoculant on the lawn.

528
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Comes in again. I'm a room bag or a jar

529
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 2>as a granule that works really really well. Microlife Fertilizer

530
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.119
<v Speaker 2>dot com. That's where you find out more about it.

531
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Where do you get it? Well, just pretty much everywhere

532
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.839
<v Speaker 2>you hear you're talking about places on Guardline, the vast

533
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>majority of them carry Microlife products. Time for a break

534
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 2>here and when I come back, I'll be here with

535
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.519
<v Speaker 2>your calls, and that would include Catherine and Pat and Ted.

536
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Good to have you with us this morning on a

537
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.920
<v Speaker 2>lovely Sunday morning. This afternoons can be a good day

538
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.680
<v Speaker 2>to get out and about get some things done. That's

539
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 2>my plans. At least. Let's head to Spring, Texas and

540
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:02.039
<v Speaker 2>talk to Catherine and Hello Catherine, welcome to garden Line.

541
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:09.160
<v Speaker 6>Thank you. I have a coastal bermuda grass that's wandered

542
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:15.200
<v Speaker 6>into a flower bed that's been neglected for several years. Okay,

543
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:22.279
<v Speaker 6>products to use to rid that coastal Bermuda grass.

544
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:28.279
<v Speaker 2>There are two products. If you want the easy way,

545
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:31.160
<v Speaker 2>just go to my website Gardening with Skip and look

546
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:35.200
<v Speaker 2>for something that's called herbicides for Skip's weed wiper. Forget

547
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:37.599
<v Speaker 2>the fact about the weed wiper, just that you're going

548
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 2>there because it's got a list of herbicides according to

549
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 2>plants that they kill. And so if you have a grass,

550
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you just go on the list of grass and go

551
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 2>across and there'll be three products. Two of them are

552
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 2>grass only killers and one kills everything that you spray on.

553
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:54.480
<v Speaker 2>You don't want the one that kills everything you want

554
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.839
<v Speaker 2>the two One of them begins with the letters seth

555
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:01.319
<v Speaker 2>like the boy's name, s et h. Another one begins

556
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 2>with the letters f l U A Z flu as

557
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.759
<v Speaker 2>seth and flu as. Those are the two ingredients. But

558
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:10.880
<v Speaker 2>if you look at my list that I put online,

559
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:13.039
<v Speaker 2>you can see the names of the products that contain

560
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>seut or that contain flus. And again those are just

561
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the start of the name. It's a long, long.

562
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:22.880
<v Speaker 6>Word and the products will indicate how long you have

563
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:30.359
<v Speaker 6>to wait to plant.

564
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Right away, no, no problem, these are grass only. The

565
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 2>two I'm telling you to use are grass only killers.

566
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:36.680
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, if you have a rose bush with

567
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.559
<v Speaker 2>bermuda grass crawling up through the center of it, you

568
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:42.880
<v Speaker 2>can spray and it won't hurt the rose bush.

569
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.680
<v Speaker 8>Great, Thank you appreciate your help.

570
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 2>You Bet, Thank you, Catherine, thank you very much. Appreciate

571
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:53.160
<v Speaker 2>that call. Let's see here. Let's we're going to go

572
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:55.599
<v Speaker 2>up to Baytown now and talk to Pat. Hey, Pat,

573
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:56.759
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden Line.

574
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Speaker 4>Thank good morning, Skip, Thank you for taking my call.

575
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:01.680
<v Speaker 7>I have been.

576
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Listening for the past several several weeks. You talk about

577
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.319
<v Speaker 4>a nursery that has eighteen pansies on sale for twenty

578
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:13.160
<v Speaker 4>five dollars, but I continue to miss the name of

579
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 4>the nursery. And I believe today's the last day Warren.

580
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 2>It's Warren's Southern Gardens in Kingwood. Warren's Southern Gardens.

581
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.039
<v Speaker 4>Awesome.

582
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:33.359
<v Speaker 2>And have you ever been there? No, you've been there, Pat. Okay, Well,

583
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:35.000
<v Speaker 2>let me just give you one more quick tip. Then

584
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.960
<v Speaker 2>it is on Stone Hollow Drive. That makes it easier.

585
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, I'm a north Park Drive. North Park Drive

586
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:42.799
<v Speaker 2>is where Warrens is?

587
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

588
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:44.960
<v Speaker 2>All right?

589
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:46.799
<v Speaker 4>And do they also have the mushroom soil?

590
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh? I think they carry Landscaper's Pride products out there,

591
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:56.039
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not positive of that. You would just need

592

<v Speaker 2>now and talk to Ted.

602
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.279
<v Speaker 9>Good morning, Hello, hey, good morning.

603
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm here.

604
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah.

605
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 9>I got my Texas three step down Friday morning, and

606
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.960
<v Speaker 9>then I got a three inches of rain Friday and

607
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker 9>Saturday combined. If you see any problem with.

608
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.640
<v Speaker 2>All that, well, some of the fertilizer may have may

609
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:50.680
<v Speaker 2>have moved a little further than you want it to

610
00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:53.440
<v Speaker 2>down in the soil and stuff. The barricade will tie

611
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.480
<v Speaker 2>up fine in the soil, that's not a problem. And

612
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.359
<v Speaker 2>the amitic clo bridge kind of in between. I don't

613
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 2>think I would redo them though. I think I think

614
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I would leave it as is. I think it'll be okay. Okay,

615
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.599
<v Speaker 2>I got to start doubling up.

616
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:16.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, the on the on the Eagle Turf at the

617
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 9>front of the bag said it covered five thousand square feet.

618
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:25.720
<v Speaker 9>I've got like three thousand here, and uh the setting

619
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.480
<v Speaker 9>it called for on it just said generally Scott's broadcast

620
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 9>it called for a five My gosh, that Eagle turf

621
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:38.400
<v Speaker 9>went fast through that, I think, and no way that

622
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:41.279
<v Speaker 9>it would have done five thousand square feet.

623
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, on it was. I don't know that.

624
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:49.880
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of different spreaders, a lot of different settings,

625
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and it's so confusing for folks. We try to make

626
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:54.559
<v Speaker 2>it as simple as we can. But I would if

627
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I were you, I would probably talk to the folks

628
00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.599
<v Speaker 2>at nine to five and they can guide you a

629
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit better on different different things and settings for

630
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>each of their products. Because the particle size on Barricade

631
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 2>and the Fall Special and the Eagle Turf, those are

632
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:08.000
<v Speaker 2>different particle size.

633
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 9>So you yeah, that Eagle turf is tiny, tiny, tiny tiny,

634
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.279
<v Speaker 9>and uh yeah, yeah, I think I would have had

635
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.920
<v Speaker 9>to have it on like one or so to get

636
00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:21.400
<v Speaker 9>five thousand coverage, And Okay, I.

637
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Get it, I get it. I would I would probably

638
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:29.640
<v Speaker 2>put that out with a little hand turn spreader because.

639
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:31.440
<v Speaker 9>Well I tried that dude.

640
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 10>Man it came out really fast too.

641
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:38.880
<v Speaker 9>Okay, all right, yeah, but I mean it can I

642
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:42.640
<v Speaker 9>can you overdo that stuff the thunderside?

643
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean you you know you can, but I

644
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:48.039
<v Speaker 2>mean it's it's just important to do it at the

645
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:50.599
<v Speaker 2>right rate that they say if you if you waste

646
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.480
<v Speaker 2>money and time and in some products you end up

647
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.720
<v Speaker 2>with you know, you overdoing it, you have issues. But

648
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I think the Eagle chip is not going to be

649
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 2>a huge issue. Just uh that's that's pretty much what

650
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:03.319
<v Speaker 2>i'd recommend to you. But glad you're using them, and

651
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.160
<v Speaker 2>make sure you, like I said, you got them water

652
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 2>down with plenty of water.

653
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.239
<v Speaker 9>So, uh, you know, do you know if do you

654
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.719
<v Speaker 9>know if they sell the Medina Plus in like five

655
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:16.920
<v Speaker 9>gallon burrows or not?

656
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, we'd have to ask the folks at Medina.

657
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:25.119
<v Speaker 2>They do large quantities of a lot of their products

658
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:30.000
<v Speaker 2>because the farmers, especially out there west of San Antonio

659
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:33.360
<v Speaker 2>where they're located, and really farmers all around that do

660
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:35.960
<v Speaker 2>use their products. So they do have large commercial sizes,

661
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.440
<v Speaker 2>specifically that size on that product. I couldn't tell you.

<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, Well I appreciate it.

00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you need fish for water gardens? Do you want

742
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:55.280
<v Speaker 2>to build a water garden yourself? Do you want to

743
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.119
<v Speaker 2>have them do it. You can choose however you want it.

744
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.000
<v Speaker 2>But the main thing is take a friend, go out

745
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:03.119
<v Speaker 2>there and see this destination garden center, and take some

746
00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:05.800
<v Speaker 2>time so you can just sit and take it all

747
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.480
<v Speaker 2>in and enjoy it. And I'll bet you you feel

748
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:09.840
<v Speaker 2>just like I do. Every time I go out there.

749
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:12.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like, Okay, I need I need another water feature.

750
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:16.159
<v Speaker 2>This is this is creating a corner of eden in

751
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:19.360
<v Speaker 2>my backyard that I just got to have. And that's

752
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.800
<v Speaker 2>how it is out there. Nelson Watergardens and Katie there.

753
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Nelsonwatergardens dot com is the website. If you'd like to

754
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:27.800
<v Speaker 2>go check it out, and I hope you will. I

755
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:30.400
<v Speaker 2>talk about it a lot, but it is an outstanding

756
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.599
<v Speaker 2>place and definitely a destination to go visit. You are

757
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:36.920
<v Speaker 2>listening to guarden Line the phone number seven one three

758
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.480
<v Speaker 2>two one two five eight seven four seven one three

759
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:43.719
<v Speaker 2>two one two fifty eight seventy four if you have

760
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.320
<v Speaker 2>not fertilized or done a preventative week control on your

761
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 2>lawn and you would like to and you'd like to

762
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.119
<v Speaker 2>just get it done in one step. Turf Star by

763
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Nelson Carboload. Turf Star carbo Load produced by Nelson Fertilizer.

764
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Nelson plant food is the one you you're going to

765
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:02.800
<v Speaker 2>want to do for that because it provides you with

766
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.960
<v Speaker 2>a perfect blend of nutrients forefall getting your lawn. The

767
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.639
<v Speaker 2>reason they call it carbo load is because the whole

768
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:13.159
<v Speaker 2>goal of fall fertilizing is to help that plant produce carbohydrates,

769
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and that takes some nutrition, and it especially takes some

770
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:22.280
<v Speaker 2>potassium with the little nitrogen to build the best. Think

771
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.760
<v Speaker 2>of it as ana freeze carbohydrate or ana freeze and

772
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.119
<v Speaker 2>a plant. So they help it be more cold hardy

773
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.719
<v Speaker 2>like your grass. They also strengthen it so when it

774
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:33.159
<v Speaker 2>comes out in the spring, it's using stored energy. It's

775
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:35.400
<v Speaker 2>not using what the roots are taking out first thing

776
00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:38.599
<v Speaker 2>in the spring. And so your fall fertilization makes your

777
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:42.760
<v Speaker 2>spring growth better and it just comes out early and strong.

778
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:47.119
<v Speaker 2>It really does well. Now the carboload also contains a

779
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:49.320
<v Speaker 2>pre emergent herbicide, so when you put it down, you

780
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.159
<v Speaker 2>need to water it in. And also so you need

781
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:56.199
<v Speaker 2>to do it now. Close season weeds, we got some rain,

782
00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:58.039
<v Speaker 2>we got some cool web. They're going to be germinating,

783
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.679
<v Speaker 2>and so get that down now. About half inch of

784
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.239
<v Speaker 2>water on it, get it in the ground to get

785
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:05.159
<v Speaker 2>the nutrient in, get the pre merging in, and avoid

786
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.880
<v Speaker 2>those problems. It's so much easier to avoid a weed

787
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:09.840
<v Speaker 2>problem than it is to try to kill the weeds

788
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:12.880
<v Speaker 2>once they're up and growing. We're going to go to

789
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Clear Lake and talk to Allen this morning. Hello Ellen,

790
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:16.920
<v Speaker 2>welcome to Gardenline.

791
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:22.079
<v Speaker 11>Hello. I sent you an email just a few minutes ago,

792
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.840
<v Speaker 11>and to talk about some dwarf upond hedge that I

793
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:26.880
<v Speaker 11>have in front of the house.

794
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, uh huh.

795
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.039
<v Speaker 11>He was planted when the house was built about thirty

796
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:35.440
<v Speaker 11>years ago, and it's grown up way too tall.

797
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to actually cut it in.

798
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:41.480
<v Speaker 11>About half, but don't want it to die obviously, so

799
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:45.760
<v Speaker 11>can I achieve a half height? Currently it's about five

800
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:49.719
<v Speaker 11>feet tall in some spots, and you can.

801
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, your pine is a tough old plant, but it

802
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:56.400
<v Speaker 2>will look horrible for a while. But what you're going

803
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to want to do is I would say I'd probably

804
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:03.960
<v Speaker 2>wait until maybe late January to do this, even early February.

805
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Cut it. Do your cutting. Then it's going to try

806
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:09.800
<v Speaker 2>to regrow, and if we happen some warm days now,

807
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:12.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't want it to start succulent. Growth when we

808
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:15.159
<v Speaker 2>could have some cold weather ahead here, So I would

809
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:18.840
<v Speaker 2>cut it back then make it a little lower than

810
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.320
<v Speaker 2>you want it to be, because that way, as it

811
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:24.719
<v Speaker 2>regrows from the cutting it back, you can sheare it

812
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 2>and end up with the hedge the height you want. Okay,

813
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:29.760
<v Speaker 2>so a little shorter than you want it to be.

814
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Just realize that you opin like all these other shrubs,

815
00:42:33.719 --> 00:42:35.800
<v Speaker 2>they want to grow top heavy, and that's what yours

816
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:39.159
<v Speaker 2>has been trying to do there. You know, the over

817
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:41.679
<v Speaker 2>the years, the top is trying to push outward and

818
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:44.360
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to keep it more narrow. So just think

819
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:47.000
<v Speaker 2>of the wall instead of vertical, think of it as

820
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.039
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more leaning in toward the top, you

821
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:53.159
<v Speaker 2>see what I'm saying, Wider at the base, a little

822
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:56.000
<v Speaker 2>narrower at the top, and that way light can get

823
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:59.440
<v Speaker 2>to all areas because where it's encroaching on the sidewalk,

824
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.079
<v Speaker 2>you got to make a lot of extra space in

825
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:05.119
<v Speaker 2>there for people to walk through without you know, hitting

826
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:06.199
<v Speaker 2>a gauntlet right there.

827
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.719
<v Speaker 11>Yep, that's for sure. Okay. Then the other question is

828
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.239
<v Speaker 11>the other pictures. So right behind the hedge used to

829
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:18.480
<v Speaker 11>have another row of different type of bushes. I can't remember,

830
00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:22.440
<v Speaker 11>but right now it's just weeds. I weed whack them,

831
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 11>and I'd like to put something hardy ground cover of

832
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 11>some sort in there.

833
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Just to okay, just have that there. You have me suggestion. Well,

834
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:38.280
<v Speaker 2>so the yopon is going to be so tall that

835
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:42.079
<v Speaker 2>you don't see anything behind it, so you know, I'm

836
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:45.119
<v Speaker 2>kind of wondering if maybe moving those yopons back toward

837
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the wall and then putting something in front of them,

838
00:43:48.920 --> 00:43:52.280
<v Speaker 2>keeping the yopons well below the window level, but putting

839
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.559
<v Speaker 2>something in front of them that you can see might

840
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:57.400
<v Speaker 2>be a better strategy. That's your call. But you can

841
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.320
<v Speaker 2>plant any kind of a groundcover back in there. You've

842
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.079
<v Speaker 2>got some monkey grass already growing in that area that

843
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker 2>could be moved around and gradually filled in. It's a

844
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:08.599
<v Speaker 2>very slow to spread, but it could gradually fill in.

845
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.360
<v Speaker 2>You could do something like Aztec grass as a white

846
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:15.480
<v Speaker 2>light lighter colored version of that. But yeah, you can.

847
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:17.360
<v Speaker 2>You do whatever you want back there. It's just not

848
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:20.519
<v Speaker 2>going to be visible because it's behind theoponhedge.

849
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:25.679
<v Speaker 11>And and replanting or moving those yopons back towards them all,

850
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:28.039
<v Speaker 11>what do you think it's a good success rate?

851
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Chances it's good if you Yeah, if you get it done. Now,

852
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:34.679
<v Speaker 2>if you go back behind there, mix up that soil,

853
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.079
<v Speaker 2>mix some compost into it, get it all ready to go,

854
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.239
<v Speaker 2>and then cut those yopons back. I would probably cut

855
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:43.119
<v Speaker 2>them back to like a foot foot and a half

856
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:47.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe and move them back there, replant them water mineral good,

857
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:50.239
<v Speaker 2>get some root stimulator and all that on them, and

858
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.320
<v Speaker 2>they're they're going to sit there, but they'll be making

859
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:55.039
<v Speaker 2>roots all through the winter so when spring growth starts,

860
00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:58.119
<v Speaker 2>they'll be ready to go. So that's that's not it's

861
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:01.280
<v Speaker 2>a drastic move. But you know, we're starting with what

862
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:04.320
<v Speaker 2>we're starting with, so you got to do the best

863
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:08.840
<v Speaker 2>with what you got. All right, sir, Good luck with that.

864
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate your call very much. I got to run to

865
00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:13.079
<v Speaker 2>a break here. But when I come back, we're going

866
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:18.159
<v Speaker 2>to talk to Susan and we're going to talk to Kay. Hey,

867
00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:21.760
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to the guarden Line. Glad you're with us today. Listen,

868
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.079
<v Speaker 2>we had some storms this year that I just wonder

869
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:27.239
<v Speaker 2>there's a single tree left in Houston the way those

870
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.960
<v Speaker 2>things came through and just did incredible amounts of damage

871
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:32.559
<v Speaker 2>to some of you know what I'm talking about because

872
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:36.519
<v Speaker 2>it happened in your yard. Affordable Tree Service is who

873
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I look to when it comes to dependable tree care

874
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:45.679
<v Speaker 2>for you here in the Houston area. That comes from experience.

875
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:49.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, Martin Spoon Moore has gosh, Martin's been doing

876
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:53.719
<v Speaker 2>this for a very long time, and he he knows

877
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Houston trees. He knows taking care of trees, and he

878
00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:58.519
<v Speaker 2>can do any kind of things you need done. I

879
00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:01.360
<v Speaker 2>mean it certainly pruning and this is printing season. And

880
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.440
<v Speaker 2>by the way, if you need somebody to come out

881
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and look at your trees, I'd highly recommend you call

882
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Martin now because he has he needs to book you

883
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:11.639
<v Speaker 2>into the schedule to come and do that. Tell him

884
00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:14.159
<v Speaker 2>you're a guardenine listener, so you move up in the schedule.

885
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:17.840
<v Speaker 2>And when you when you give him a call, make

886
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:20.519
<v Speaker 2>sure that you either talk to him or his wife, Joe.

887
00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Those are the only two people to answer the phone.

888
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.440
<v Speaker 2>The owners answer the phone there. It's seven one three

889
00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:28.960
<v Speaker 2>six nine twenty six sixty three. If someone else answers,

890
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:32.239
<v Speaker 2>you've called the wrong place. Hang up. Seven one three

891
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:36.360
<v Speaker 2>six nine nine two six six three. We got this

892
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:38.679
<v Speaker 2>window now when it's the best time of the year.

893
00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:40.559
<v Speaker 2>To get printing done, give Martin a call and get

894
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:42.639
<v Speaker 2>that done while you're out it. If you're going to

895
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:45.239
<v Speaker 2>do any changes around the tree, if you need maybe

896
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:47.159
<v Speaker 2>to put in a driveway, or you want to put

897
00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:49.519
<v Speaker 2>in a trench to do something, or you need to

898
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:53.559
<v Speaker 2>install irrigation systems around and talk to Martin first because

899
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:56.679
<v Speaker 2>he can guide you on how to avoid damage to

900
00:46:56.719 --> 00:46:59.719
<v Speaker 2>those trees. You know, don't wait until someone's come by

901
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:01.960
<v Speaker 2>and already done the damage to figure out what to

902
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:05.760
<v Speaker 2>do about it. We have very few options, but before

903
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:08.400
<v Speaker 2>you do damage, you can do a lot to avoid

904
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:12.360
<v Speaker 2>it or minimize it. That's important. And don't hire somebody

905
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:13.840
<v Speaker 2>just because they have to pick up a chains on

906
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:16.239
<v Speaker 2>a business card to stick in your door. Hi're somebody

907
00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:18.719
<v Speaker 2>that knows what they're doing. Because when someone damages the tree,

908
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:20.760
<v Speaker 2>but because they think they know what they're doing, but

909
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 2>they don't, it's forever. It is very hard to fully

910
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:29.639
<v Speaker 2>rebuild and re establish a strong framework when bad pruning

911
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:32.880
<v Speaker 2>has been done to your tree. Call Martin Affordable Tree

912
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:36.440
<v Speaker 2>seven three, six nine twenty six sixty three. We're going

913
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:39.639
<v Speaker 2>to go now to Susan and Wharton. Hello Susan, Welcome

914
00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:40.320
<v Speaker 2>to Garden.

915
00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 12>Line, Good morning, Skip, How are you doing this morning?

916
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:45.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm well, thank you.

917
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:51.039
<v Speaker 12>I have a yellow bill esperanza. It's grown in a

918
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:58.159
<v Speaker 12>pot that is in a holder. So this plant is

919
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:03.079
<v Speaker 12>probably I think the pot is probably about twelve sixteen

920
00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:08.440
<v Speaker 12>inches around somewhere around else that's a big pot. The esperanza,

921
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:15.360
<v Speaker 12>the total height of it is probably eighteen foot tall.

922
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:24.239
<v Speaker 12>Most of the growth is around i'd say about fourteen foot,

923
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:28.000
<v Speaker 12>but we have one that's like one stalk of it

924
00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:31.760
<v Speaker 12>that's about four foot taller than the rest of it.

925
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.719
<v Speaker 12>It's blooming, it's just perfect. But what my question is

926
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:40.519
<v Speaker 12>is I want to trim that tall one out. Can

927
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:45.039
<v Speaker 12>I trim that and cut it about I'm not sure

928
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:46.960
<v Speaker 12>where I should cut it, if I should cut it

929
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:50.239
<v Speaker 12>where the height of the rest of the plant is

930
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.920
<v Speaker 12>or lower ass and I transplant it.

931
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so jusan, yes, she can wait until the end

932
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.599
<v Speaker 2>of winter, cut it back at however you want, and

933
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:05.159
<v Speaker 2>then transplant it at that time. Esperanza can take being

934
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.440
<v Speaker 2>cut to the ground pretty much, just a few inches

935
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.920
<v Speaker 2>above the ground. Because if you go further north, if

936
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:13.159
<v Speaker 2>you get up to Austin, Texas College Station Hunts phillip In,

937
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:16.039
<v Speaker 2>there these things often die of the ground and then

938
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:19.519
<v Speaker 2>they come back after the winter freeze, so you can

939
00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:23.039
<v Speaker 2>essentially use pruners to do the same thing. So if

940
00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:24.880
<v Speaker 2>you got an esperanza that you don't like the look

941
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:26.679
<v Speaker 2>of it, the shape of it, cut it back and

942
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:29.920
<v Speaker 2>let fresh new growth come out. You will have beautiful blooms.

943
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:32.519
<v Speaker 2>And unless you're just trying to create some sort of

944
00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:34.920
<v Speaker 2>a tree form of it, don't, however, you want to

945
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:36.679
<v Speaker 2>prune it is fine, But I would cut it back,

946
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:38.239
<v Speaker 2>I would dig it up. I'd move it at the

947
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:42.320
<v Speaker 2>end of winter probably, let's say early February would be

948
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.199
<v Speaker 2>a good time to get that move done. Even late

949
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:47.599
<v Speaker 2>January would be okay to put it in the ground,

950
00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:56.039
<v Speaker 2>in the ground, yes, okay, all right, Kenn, thank you man,

951
00:49:56.119 --> 00:50:01.159
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. I'm sorry I hung up there, Susan, I

952
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:05.519
<v Speaker 2>thought we were done. Let's go to David in Spring. Hello, David,

953
00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:09.440
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden line. Wanting step. I have a couple

954
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:10.280
<v Speaker 2>of questions there.

955
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:15.559
<v Speaker 13>I have an area of grass at Saint Augustine, That's

956
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:18.239
<v Speaker 13>what my holy yard is. But I have a small

957
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:22.400
<v Speaker 13>area near my neighbor that has Bermuda grass, and like

958
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:26.480
<v Speaker 13>he getting infected in this small area with bermuda. So

959
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:31.800
<v Speaker 13>I've dug it all up, spraying with round up three times,

960
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 13>got it, and I want to I want to know

961
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.639
<v Speaker 13>how long before I can replant grass before the round

962
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:39.800
<v Speaker 13>up there's this dissipated.

963
00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Or if you spray it, you want to give it

964
00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:47.199
<v Speaker 2>about a week for glyphosate products to move down fully

965
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:50.880
<v Speaker 2>through the plant. By the way, the modern round up

966
00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:54.480
<v Speaker 2>in garden centers is not glyphys it anymore. So this

967
00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:59.039
<v Speaker 2>is frustrating the old glyphis. Okay, So if it's glyphys

968
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:01.159
<v Speaker 2>give it about a week to move down the plant

969
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and then you can do whatever you want and plant

970
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:04.360
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want. It doesn't it's not kind of ok

971
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:05.760
<v Speaker 2>all right.

972
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:11.360
<v Speaker 13>Second question, have you heard of pro vista grass?

973
00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes I have. Would that be a.

974
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:17.679
<v Speaker 13>Good solution to planning that?

975
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Then that way I could spray it with fate it

976
00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:25.199
<v Speaker 2>would future, Yeah, it would get okay right now? You know,

977
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:27.519
<v Speaker 2>I get calls all the time, David on people that

978
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:29.679
<v Speaker 2>I got bermuda in Saint Augustine. I want to kill

979
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the bermuda, And it's like, you know, there's there's not

980
00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:36.920
<v Speaker 2>a retail garden center way of killing bermuda in Saint Augustine.

981
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:40.039
<v Speaker 2>But that if you're starting a new lawn, that would

982
00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:44.320
<v Speaker 2>be an option. Yes, that that would work, would work. Try.

983
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.679
<v Speaker 2>It's a beautiful low growing grass too. It's a very

984
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:51.920
<v Speaker 2>beautiful low growing grass. It's a it's slow. I I

985
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.000
<v Speaker 2>what I see on pro Vista is you may mow

986
00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:58.280
<v Speaker 2>it about one third as much as you do most

987
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:02.119
<v Speaker 2>other grasses, most of the Saint Augustine's. It's it just

988
00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:04.840
<v Speaker 2>has a slower vertical growth rate. All right, Well that's

989
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:06.840
<v Speaker 2>not a bad thing. I think they say half, but

990
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:08.480
<v Speaker 2>but from what I'm seeing, I think it's more like

991
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:12.679
<v Speaker 2>almost a third. Okay, okay, all right, sounds good. Thank

992
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:15.360
<v Speaker 2>you for your help, you bet, Thanks sir. I appreciate

993
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:17.599
<v Speaker 2>your call. We go to Pairland now and talk to Kay.

994
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Hey k, welcome to Guardline.

995
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:21.599
<v Speaker 8>Good morning, Thank you kicking my call.

996
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Skip.

997
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:22.920
<v Speaker 10>Yes, I have.

998
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Myrtles.

999
00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:30.000
<v Speaker 14>Can crite myrtle be propagated from a cutting?

1000
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's yes. You want to You want to take

1001
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:43.599
<v Speaker 2>a good loose media with sand and maybe some potting

1002
00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:46.000
<v Speaker 2>soil in it. But something that drains a lot of

1003
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:49.840
<v Speaker 2>prolite is also helpful. It does best if you dip

1004
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the cuttings make about a six inch cutting, take the

1005
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:57.480
<v Speaker 2>roots off the bottom half, dip that into a rooting

1006
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:01.840
<v Speaker 2>hormone and then put it down into to the mix

1007
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:03.679
<v Speaker 2>and make sure you've got a clear cover over it

1008
00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:05.559
<v Speaker 2>to hold in moisture. Put it in as bright as

1009
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:10.719
<v Speaker 2>spot as you can, but not direct son and it'll

1010
00:53:10.760 --> 00:53:13.760
<v Speaker 2>take a while, but cutting that'll work. It's best if

1011
00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:17.320
<v Speaker 2>you use a cutting cave. That is what we call

1012
00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:20.639
<v Speaker 2>semi hardwood. It's not the succulent new growth and it's

1013
00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:24.039
<v Speaker 2>not the old wood. It's kind of in between. It's

1014
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:27.320
<v Speaker 2>where the green starts browning, and that's the best place

1015
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:28.719
<v Speaker 2>to take a cutting for crape.

1016
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:32.239
<v Speaker 14>Gotcha, Okay, I have an all right, And I was

1017
00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:40.519
<v Speaker 14>listening to the Esperanza question that Susan had and I

1018
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:45.400
<v Speaker 14>have some instead have gotten above the eaves of the house,

1019
00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:50.880
<v Speaker 14>and when dryl came through the wind from that, they're

1020
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:54.599
<v Speaker 14>kind of leaning toward Jones is a little bit now,

1021
00:53:54.719 --> 00:53:58.719
<v Speaker 14>and I just I wanted to cut them back, but

1022
00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:01.800
<v Speaker 14>I thought I need to waite probably till January February.

1023
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Will that, yeah, because they're going to try to regrow.

1024
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:08.960
<v Speaker 14>They've gotten kind of leggy and tall and skinny, and

1025
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:12.280
<v Speaker 14>they're blooming beautifully, but I want them to bush out

1026
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.000
<v Speaker 14>a little more. We'll back help to cut them back

1027
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:16.559
<v Speaker 14>maybe three four feet.

1028
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:18.000
<v Speaker 6>Tall.

1029
00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:20.599
<v Speaker 2>I would cut them further. I mean I cut mine

1030
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:22.679
<v Speaker 2>back almost to the ground because that way all the

1031
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:25.199
<v Speaker 2>fresh new growth comes out. It all looks good. It

1032
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.199
<v Speaker 2>brings the size in down, it makes them more bushy,

1033
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and they bloom well and there it's fine. And I

1034
00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:33.519
<v Speaker 2>would do it at the end of winter, yes, And

1035
00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:35.639
<v Speaker 2>don't do it now because we're you know, we have

1036
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:37.719
<v Speaker 2>some warm weather and they'll try to reach sprout and

1037
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:40.760
<v Speaker 2>that sprout it's not going to make it through freezes. Yeah,

1038
00:54:40.840 --> 00:54:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I knew that was all right.

1039
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.320
<v Speaker 8>So thank you so very much, have a blessed weekend.

1040
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Bye bye you too. Thank you for the call. I

1041
00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:51.000
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that. You know, h hardware stores are all over

1042
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:53.679
<v Speaker 2>the Greater Houston area. I was just at one Katie

1043
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Katie Hardware out there on Peno Groved yesterday and had

1044
00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:59.199
<v Speaker 2>a great time. I appreciate all you who came out

1045
00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:01.480
<v Speaker 2>when you go into ace and you know, I just

1046
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:04.119
<v Speaker 2>being at Katy As reminded me of this again. I mean,

1047
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:07.119
<v Speaker 2>you walk down the aisles and every fertilizer you hear

1048
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:08.960
<v Speaker 2>me talk about on Guarden Line is there. I was

1049
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.000
<v Speaker 2>talking to people. We were walking back into the area

1050
00:55:11.039 --> 00:55:13.320
<v Speaker 2>where you would find something to control weeds or insects

1051
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:16.639
<v Speaker 2>or diseases or things, and it's just they're stocked up.

1052
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:19.199
<v Speaker 2>They have what you need. Of course, ACE has everything

1053
00:55:19.360 --> 00:55:20.920
<v Speaker 2>that you need. That's why they say ACE is a

1054
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:23.840
<v Speaker 2>place because it's got everything you need to have a

1055
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:28.360
<v Speaker 2>beautiful lawn, like the things that fertilize, the fertilizers for fall,

1056
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the things that prevent weeds in the fall, like barricade.

1057
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:35.360
<v Speaker 2>It's got the things that prevent disease, like eagle turfundicide

1058
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:38.880
<v Speaker 2>for example. They're there at ACE. But it's also the

1059
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:42.280
<v Speaker 2>place for whatever kind of seasonal decorating you're doing inside

1060
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and outside. It's the place to create those outside environments

1061
00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:48.400
<v Speaker 2>that you have. And if if you're looking to have

1062
00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:51.559
<v Speaker 2>a more beautiful garden, a more bountiful landscape, then just

1063
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:54.440
<v Speaker 2>head to ACE. There's forty ACE Hardware stores. ACE hardware

1064
00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:58.599
<v Speaker 2>dot Com is the website. Go there, find the store locator,

1065
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.639
<v Speaker 2>and you get this cool map with dots everywhere because

1066
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:04.880
<v Speaker 2>there's a everywhere in the Greater Houston area. We're gonna

1067
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:08.000
<v Speaker 2>go now to Austin County and talk to Doris. Hey Doris,

1068
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:09.840
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to Gardline.

1069
00:56:10.159 --> 00:56:12.119
<v Speaker 8>Hi, how are you today?

1070
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great? How can I.

1071
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Help brown Patch?

1072
00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:23.000
<v Speaker 8>I put out that eagle, But like I said before,

1073
00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:25.400
<v Speaker 8>before you know it, you don't have any more on

1074
00:56:25.480 --> 00:56:32.920
<v Speaker 8>this rather right that you can use.

1075
00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, you need to change the rate

1076
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:39.079
<v Speaker 2>of application on on the on the dials. But I

1077
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:42.079
<v Speaker 2>use the hand spreader just because it's a very fine

1078
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:44.159
<v Speaker 2>texture and it's you're putting it out at a very

1079
00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:52.159
<v Speaker 2>low rate. But anyway, as far as a folier, there

1080
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:54.440
<v Speaker 2>are there probably are some projects. I don't know that

1081
00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:58.079
<v Speaker 2>there's any labeled for long application that are liquids for

1082
00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:02.199
<v Speaker 2>spraying for for around back. There may be, but the

1083
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:07.119
<v Speaker 2>ingredient that's in that eager I would just have to

1084
00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:08.960
<v Speaker 2>go work. I'm not aware of one.

1085
00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:13.239
<v Speaker 8>Well, can I put this? Put it out again?

1086
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I need you to turn that radio off in the background, please.

1087
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:20.119
<v Speaker 8>I'm sorry.

1088
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, putting it out again meaning you didn't get

1089
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:26.840
<v Speaker 2>it to cover the whole area or or what what

1090
00:57:26.880 --> 00:57:28.639
<v Speaker 2>are you saying when you say put it out?

1091
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.159
<v Speaker 8>I didn't get it to cover the whole area? And

1092
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:33.599
<v Speaker 8>do I go over what I did?

1093
00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? No, don't go over what you did, go over

1094
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:41.679
<v Speaker 2>what you didn't. Uh and and that would be fine. Okay,

1095
00:57:42.760 --> 00:57:44.880
<v Speaker 2>just make sure and water down after you after you

1096
00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:45.440
<v Speaker 2>apply it.

1097
00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:51.280
<v Speaker 8>All right, okay, all right, thank you. Just a circle

1098
00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:52.599
<v Speaker 8>or does it.

1099
00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Kind of like it's? It could be, It could be

1100
00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:00.280
<v Speaker 2>it's It could be very circular. It can be a

1101
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:03.559
<v Speaker 2>little more erratic depending on where the infection hits and

1102
00:58:03.599 --> 00:58:06.400
<v Speaker 2>how it hits. If it starts in one spot, it's

1103
00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:08.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a fire burning out in all directions,

1104
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:10.480
<v Speaker 2>so it makes a circle. Sometimes you get a kind

1105
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:12.960
<v Speaker 2>of a hodgepodge of it in there and it's not

1106
00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:14.760
<v Speaker 2>not quite so circular. Hey, I got to run to

1107
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:17.159
<v Speaker 2>a break, But thank you, Doris. Appreciate that call and

1150
01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>and Chanted Gardens Richmond dot com. We're gonna head out

1151
01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>there to Crosby, Texas now and talk to Holden. Hey, Holden,

1152
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:44.119
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden Line. Hey, how are you today? I'm

1153
01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:50.039
<v Speaker 2>doing good, sir. What's up? Virginia Button waed I got

1154
01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>a yard full of it. M M, Well, yeah, you

1155
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:00.639
<v Speaker 2>got two options. You can call a real and moved

1156
01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:03.719
<v Speaker 2>that's probably the easiest, or you can fight it ino

1157
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:08.039
<v Speaker 2>spray in the thing. Virginia button weed loves wet conditions,

1158
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>so now backing off on your lawn watering will not

1159
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:15.119
<v Speaker 2>kill Virginia button weed. It just it just holds it

1160
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:17.199
<v Speaker 2>back a little bit, you know, and when it gets

1161
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:21.679
<v Speaker 2>wet and soggy, Virginia button weed grows crazy. It just

1162
01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:24.039
<v Speaker 2>takes off. So if you can back off on the

1163
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:26.039
<v Speaker 2>water a little bit where it's in your control, do that.

1164
01:01:26.280 --> 01:01:27.960
<v Speaker 2>But as far as sprays are concerned, there are a

1165
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.639
<v Speaker 2>number of products out there. Probably the most effective is

1166
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>something called I just went blank. Celsius, like the temperature.

1167
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Celsius comes in little packets. Is not cheap, but it works.

1168
01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:43.960
<v Speaker 2>A packet makes a gallon of spray and you just

1169
01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>spot treat your Virginia button weed with that celsius. I

1170
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>would do it now as soon as possible, because those

1171
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:54.559
<v Speaker 2>weeds are fixing to shut down here as we're going

1172
01:01:54.599 --> 01:01:57.480
<v Speaker 2>into winter and then coming out next spring. When you

1173
01:01:57.519 --> 01:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>see growth on the Virginia button weed, spray again with Celsius,

1174
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:03.559
<v Speaker 2>and if you look on the labels, you're going to

1175
01:02:03.599 --> 01:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>probably apply it twice. You know, you may apply it

1176
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and then six weeks later apply it again. But those

1177
01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:10.039
<v Speaker 2>those work pretty good on it. There's some other things

1178
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:16.320
<v Speaker 2>that work good on it that if the weather gets warmer,

1179
01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:20.079
<v Speaker 2>they're hard on your Saint Augustine. So above eighty five

1180
01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>degrees or so, I back off on the other things.

1181
01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>That's why I like Celsius, because you can even do

1182
01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>that when it's in the low nineties.

1183
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:31.519
<v Speaker 10>Okay, well, I appreciate that.

1184
01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give it a try out then, Celsius, Celsius. Yeah,

1185
01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>give that one a try. Spot treat with it. And

1186
01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:41.599
<v Speaker 2>by the way, too, holden, if you can pull some

1187
01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:43.519
<v Speaker 2>up now, it's not going to get rid of virgin

1188
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and button, but it gets rid of a little seeds.

1189
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:48.239
<v Speaker 2>You know, all along that vine are those bumps where

1190
01:02:48.039 --> 01:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>they're full of seeds. And so one alternative to spray

1191
01:02:53.480 --> 01:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>in now would be to just pull up all that

1192
01:02:56.440 --> 01:02:58.480
<v Speaker 2>you can to get as much seed out of there

1193
01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:01.159
<v Speaker 2>as you can, and then next spring when it comes back,

1194
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>which you will, you will just spot treat them. So

1195
01:03:05.000 --> 01:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>either way you go about it, it's up to you.

1196
01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:09.360
<v Speaker 10>Okay man, thanks right.

1197
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Sir, you bet, thank you. I appreciate that, appreciate the call.

1198
01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Nature's Way Resources is the birthplace of some of the

1199
01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>best soil related and molts type products that you'll find

1200
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:26.119
<v Speaker 2>in the Greater Houston area. It's where rose Oil had

1201
01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>its origination. That's Nature's Way Research, John Ferguson and son

1202
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Ian running the place that it just continues the same

1203
01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:37.639
<v Speaker 2>kind of quality mixes. You know, leave more composts, that's

1204
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>another one that started there. They also have something called

1205
01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:44.679
<v Speaker 2>fungal compost, which is good for over top dressing your

1206
01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:47.559
<v Speaker 2>lawn as well, if you'd like to use that. And

1207
01:03:47.599 --> 01:03:50.239
<v Speaker 2>the thing about that is ever Friday is Fungal Friday

1208
01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>and you can get fungal compost, which is a quality

1209
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>compost twenty percent off on Friday's Ever Friday. Nature's Way

1210

<v Speaker 2>Resources is if you go north on forty five right

1211
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>where fourteen eighty eight comes into forty five from the left,

1212
01:04:05.119 --> 01:04:07.679
<v Speaker 2>you turn right, cross over the railroad tracks and that's

1213
01:04:07.679 --> 01:04:10.440
<v Speaker 2>where Nature's Way is. You can give them a call,

1223
01:04:38.079 --> 01:04:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Like I say on guarden Line, brown stuff before green stuff.

1224
01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Well this is the brown stuff. Fact. This is I

1225
01:04:43.119 --> 01:04:46.679
<v Speaker 2>would call it black gold. They have some great mulches

1226
01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:48.599
<v Speaker 2>too out there. Used a couple of their different multch

1227
01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>products and been very very very pleased with how they

1228
01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>perform in my flower beds. If you haven't fertilized this fall,

1229
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>remember the fall fertilization is the most important. And there's

1230
01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>three things that can happen in the fall. One of

1231
01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:09.639
<v Speaker 2>them is fall fertilization that should happen every fall. It's

1232
01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:11.599
<v Speaker 2>the if you were to pick one time of the

1233
01:05:11.679 --> 01:05:14.119
<v Speaker 2>year when it's most important to fertilize, it's the fall

1234
01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:17.400
<v Speaker 2>fertilization because it prepares a plant for winter hardiness and

1235
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:20.599
<v Speaker 2>it comes out in the spring stronger. Very important for

1236
01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:24.079
<v Speaker 2>those grass plants in your lawn now second step are

1237
01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the weeds that are germinating, so barricade by nitrophoss step

1238
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:30.320
<v Speaker 2>two of what they call the Texas three step. You

1239
01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>do the two step on the dense floor. You do

1240
01:05:32.119 --> 01:05:35.079
<v Speaker 2>the three step in your lawn. The three steps second

1241
01:05:35.119 --> 01:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>step barricade stops weeds from being able to establish. It

1242
01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:41.320
<v Speaker 2>forms a barricade over the soil. They can't get through.

1243
01:05:41.360 --> 01:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>They die. Second nitrophised eagle turf fungicide that prevents the

1244
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>brown patch, the large patch from happening in your lawn.

1245
01:05:49.800 --> 01:05:52.119
<v Speaker 2>And there's also it works some on the takeof root

1246
01:05:52.199 --> 01:05:54.159
<v Speaker 2>right too. But you got to get all these down

1247
01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:56.760
<v Speaker 2>ahead of time, early, earlier in the process. So now's

1248
01:05:56.760 --> 01:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the time. We just we got some some rain. It

1249
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:01.239
<v Speaker 2>came through some the areas, and I'm telling you we're

1250
01:06:01.239 --> 01:06:03.400
<v Speaker 2>going to get some cool season wee germination. When that

1251
01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>soul tempt said about seventy degrees. And you don't delay

1252
01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>on this stuff. Put all three down, water, all three in,

1253
01:06:09.960 --> 01:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>and you're good to go for fall from nitrofoss. You're

1254

1287
01:07:55.480 --> 01:07:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Here's a phone number two eighty one three seven six

1288
01:07:58.599 --> 01:08:01.679
<v Speaker 2>sixteen forty six. I'm going to head now out to

1289
01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Westbury and talk to Anthony. Hey, Anthony, welcome to garden Line.

1290
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Skip.

1291
01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:10.440
<v Speaker 15>I know you made some few comments about al of

1292
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:14.960
<v Speaker 15>air plants. But my situation is I've got two five

1293
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:19.920
<v Speaker 15>gamon containers or pots, and they've grown pups after pups,

1294
01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:23.039
<v Speaker 15>and they're just pushing each other out. I want to

1295
01:08:23.079 --> 01:08:26.479
<v Speaker 15>transplant them and com out give them away.

1296
01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>What's a good soil for me to use?

1297
01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:31.880
<v Speaker 15>To do that, to tenderly bring them back and not

1298
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:32.720
<v Speaker 15>damage them.

1299
01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I would use something that drains very very well. You

1300
01:08:38.319 --> 01:08:41.319
<v Speaker 2>can use a kind of a gritty soil like a

1301
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>cactus and succulent soil blend that heirloom soils has it

1302
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>comes in little bags. You could use that. You can

1303
01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:49.680
<v Speaker 2>take a potting soil and just add a lot of

1304
01:08:49.760 --> 01:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>gritty material to it, you know, some little fine textured

1305
01:08:53.000 --> 01:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>expanded shale, or you could put some sand and large

1306
01:08:56.920 --> 01:08:59.600
<v Speaker 2>particles of pearl light the white stuff in potting soil.

1307
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>I add a little extra that just to loosen it up,

1308
01:09:02.079 --> 01:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>get a little bit better drainage in there. But either way,

1309
01:09:05.079 --> 01:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a forgiving plan as long as you

1310
01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:09.640
<v Speaker 2>have good drain holes and it doesn't stand in water.

1311
01:09:09.960 --> 01:09:13.640
<v Speaker 15>So yeah, yes, I understand about the forgiving part. These

1312
01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:15.680
<v Speaker 15>poor guys are just pushing each other.

1313
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Out of the pot. Okay, yeah, we'll do. I know

1314
01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the Society, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plants.

1315
01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:25.840
<v Speaker 2>When Alivera calls them and complains about the way you're

1316
01:09:25.880 --> 01:09:28.199
<v Speaker 2>taking care of it, they just laugh and say, get

1317
01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:31.079
<v Speaker 2>a grap you're alovera Come on, is this a prank call.

1318
01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:34.159
<v Speaker 2>You can't kill an olivera if you try a real hard.

1319
01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I tried hard this summer. I hate to tell you this,

1320
01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:38.880
<v Speaker 2>but I had one that I can't remember how long

1321
01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:40.439
<v Speaker 2>it took the water, and it was in too small

1322
01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:43.399
<v Speaker 2>of a container and it started getting that kind of weird.

1323
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Gray Brown looked to the green and

1324
01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I say, I guess I better water my olive ara again.

1325
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely it's definitely not a diva. It's not a diva.

1326
01:09:56.119 --> 01:10:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Its back great. Thanks Familiar Health. Yeah, thank you for

1327
01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:05.079
<v Speaker 2>the call. I appreciate that very much. Anthony asmite is

1328
01:10:05.279 --> 01:10:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a micro nutrie supplement, and remember what are micros. Micros

1329
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:14.880
<v Speaker 2>are essential nutrients. You cannot grow a plant without twenty

1330
01:10:14.880 --> 01:10:19.520
<v Speaker 2>plus nutrients. Most of those are micronutrients, the majority are

1331
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:22.159
<v Speaker 2>and you take one of those out and if you

1332
01:10:22.159 --> 01:10:23.800
<v Speaker 2>don't have any of it, the plant can't grow, it

1333
01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:26.479
<v Speaker 2>cannot live. It's amazing. It's essential, but it doesn't need much.

1334
01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:28.640
<v Speaker 2>It just needs a little bit as m it goes

1335
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:30.560
<v Speaker 2>a long way. You can put it out once a year.

1336
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll get you a soil test sometime and look at

1337
01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:35.399
<v Speaker 2>what you have in your soil and what's needed. That's

1338
01:10:35.439 --> 01:10:37.640
<v Speaker 2>the best way to fertilize with any kind of fertilizer

1339
01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:42.199
<v Speaker 2>asmide or standard types of nitrogen, phosphorus potassium fertilizers. That's

1340
01:10:42.239 --> 01:10:44.279
<v Speaker 2>the way to know for sure. But I can tell

1341
01:10:44.279 --> 01:10:46.279
<v Speaker 2>you this most people about it. Once a year, put

1342
01:10:46.439 --> 01:10:49.920
<v Speaker 2>azmide out, sprinkle it down, and those crust minerals that

1343
01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:52.479
<v Speaker 2>are mined out of the ground get into your soil

1344
01:10:52.600 --> 01:10:56.319
<v Speaker 2>and they provide that bank account. So if your plant

1345
01:10:56.399 --> 01:10:58.720
<v Speaker 2>needs a little bit of manganese, or if your plant

1346
01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>needs a little bit of you fail in the blank,

1347
01:11:01.239 --> 01:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you're going to find the micro nutrients are in the

1348
01:11:03.760 --> 01:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>soil bank account. They're ready to go. That's how that works.

1349
01:11:07.439 --> 01:11:10.680
<v Speaker 2>K Scott to Montgomery. Here, we're going to talk to Joe. Hey, Joe,

1350
01:11:10.680 --> 01:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>welcome to guarden Line.

1351
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:13.359
<v Speaker 16>Hey, good morning, Skip.

1352
01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you I'm good sir? What's up? Good?

1353
01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:19.960
<v Speaker 16>I had a question I planned recently about a month ago.

1354
01:11:20.119 --> 01:11:22.479
<v Speaker 16>My wife and I planned some bermuda sod out by

1355
01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:26.439
<v Speaker 16>our barn or workshop because we had at Saint Augustine

1356
01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:28.560
<v Speaker 16>for a long time and it just would burn up

1357
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:31.239
<v Speaker 16>from the drought and so forth. So we planted it

1358
01:11:31.640 --> 01:11:34.520
<v Speaker 16>used a nice sandy soil from a neighbor that had

1359
01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:37.640
<v Speaker 16>built a pool, brought dirt down, leveled it out best

1360
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:39.880
<v Speaker 16>we could put the Bermuda sode down.

1361
01:11:39.960 --> 01:11:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Looks great.

1362
01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:44.720
<v Speaker 16>The only question I really had was, you know, when

1363
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:48.800
<v Speaker 16>we butted up the squares of sod, now we want

1364
01:11:48.800 --> 01:11:50.680
<v Speaker 16>to come back and kind of sell in those cracks

1365
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:51.600
<v Speaker 16>of the gaps.

1366
01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's okay, help me.

1367
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:55.479
<v Speaker 16>Kind of buying together. And I wanted to find out.

1368
01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:58.079
<v Speaker 16>So they used the same dirt that I had some mults.

1369
01:11:58.119 --> 01:11:59.560
<v Speaker 16>What's the what's the good recommendation?

1370
01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, use the dirt that's in the site. That's better.

1371
01:12:03.239 --> 01:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, you put something different in there, and now

1372
01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:07.319
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have these lines all through your grass where

1373
01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:10.520
<v Speaker 2>it's green or not as green or whatever. So just

1374
01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>just keep it consistently there, okay, go ahead, go ahead, No, no,

1375
01:12:20.199 --> 01:12:22.920
<v Speaker 2>just say I'm sorry, we're ore timing. Do you have

1376
01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:24.680
<v Speaker 2>a radio on around you? There?

1377
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:26.520
<v Speaker 9>No radio?

1378
01:12:26.560 --> 01:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we got a little bit delay. So I'm always

1379
01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>me and listeners are always talking over each other trying

1380
01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:37.520
<v Speaker 2>to avoid that. I would Bermuda is tough. It's gonna

1381
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:39.239
<v Speaker 2>fill in, it's gonna look good, it's gonna do well.

1382
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:41.439
<v Speaker 2>So just anything to get the soil level up even

1383
01:12:41.479 --> 01:12:43.079
<v Speaker 2>in there it was is good.

1384
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:46.600
<v Speaker 16>Okay, we have the same dirt. What's uh, what's a

1385
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:49.680
<v Speaker 16>good time since this new side to start fertilizer.

1386
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Well, I wouldn't do any fertilizing until next spring. Now,

1387
01:12:58.439 --> 01:12:59.880
<v Speaker 2>how long ago did you put this on.

1388
01:13:01.279 --> 01:13:02.600
<v Speaker 16>It's just about a month ago.

1389
01:13:04.039 --> 01:13:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay. It came with enough nutrient to carry you at

1390
01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:12.520
<v Speaker 2>least a month, if not more. And growth is about

1391
01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>on bermuda. It gets cold, bermuda shuts down, and so

1392
01:13:16.199 --> 01:13:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I think in this case, let's just hold off on it.

1393
01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:21.119
<v Speaker 2>It does not need to be pushed to grow right now.

1394
01:13:21.439 --> 01:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>It just needs to settle in, get the roots done,

1395
01:13:24.199 --> 01:13:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's got the nutrients it needs. It'll carry it

1396
01:13:26.600 --> 01:13:29.560
<v Speaker 2>to spring. So get my schedule at gardeningwiskip dot com

1397
01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:33.079
<v Speaker 2>my lawn care schedule. It's free online and uh and

1398
01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:36.600
<v Speaker 2>follow that starting in the spring. All right, very good,

1399
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:39.319
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your LP. Have a good day. All right, Thank

1400
01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:44.319
<v Speaker 2>you very much. You take care. Bye bye, Joe. Well

1401
01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you are listening to Guardline. We're here to answer your

1402
01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>gardening questions. You can give me a call. It's seven

1403
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:52.720
<v Speaker 2>one three two one two five eight seven four seven

1404
01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:58.199
<v Speaker 2>one three two one two fifty eight seventy four. I

1405
01:13:58.239 --> 01:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>wanted to take just a moment talk a little bit

1406
01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:05.760
<v Speaker 2>about that. I get questions a lot where people don't

1407
01:14:06.159 --> 01:14:11.319
<v Speaker 2>don't understand about numbers on fertilizer bags and numbers on

1408
01:14:11.439 --> 01:14:14.279
<v Speaker 2>a bag. When you see it's almost always three numbers,

1409
01:14:14.319 --> 01:14:19.920
<v Speaker 2>and that's nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium expressed as a percentage. So

1410
01:14:20.319 --> 01:14:23.159
<v Speaker 2>if you you know, if you have a fertilizer and

1411
01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:25.119
<v Speaker 2>it's got three numbers on the bag, the first number

1412
01:14:25.159 --> 01:14:28.279
<v Speaker 2>is the percent nitrogen, the second numbers the percent phosphors,

1413
01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the third numbers percent potassium, and those are ratios. And

1414
01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:35.479
<v Speaker 2>you hear me recommend fertilizers and everyone I recommend, I

1415
01:14:35.479 --> 01:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>believe in I use it works, but know this that

1416
01:14:39.079 --> 01:14:43.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody's lawn can be different. You may have phosphors through

1417
01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:46.119
<v Speaker 2>the roof and your neighbor not have any. That's almost impossible,

1418
01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:49.479
<v Speaker 2>but it could happen. Same thing with potassium or magnesium

1419
01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:52.800
<v Speaker 2>or other things. And so I encourage people to do

1420
01:14:52.880 --> 01:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>soil testing because that helps you know exactly what you

1421
01:14:56.840 --> 01:14:59.279
<v Speaker 2>need to add. You know, if you're baking a let's

1422
01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>say you're baking a cake right now, and you're mixing

1423
01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:05.359
<v Speaker 2>stuff up in the bowl, and you call me and say,

1424
01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:09.159
<v Speaker 2>although I'm not a chef for sure, but you call me, hey,

1425
01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:11.760
<v Speaker 2>skip making a pound cake? Do I need to add

1426
01:15:11.760 --> 01:15:14.199
<v Speaker 2>more salt, sugar, or flour or what here on this

1427
01:15:14.720 --> 01:15:17.039
<v Speaker 2>baking powder or whatever? And I, well, I don't even

1428
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:19.439
<v Speaker 2>know what's in the cake yet, So tell me the recipe,

1429
01:15:19.439 --> 01:15:21.039
<v Speaker 2>tell me what's in the bowl, then I know what

1430
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:23.640
<v Speaker 2>need to add. Right. That's what a soil test does.

1431
01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:26.079
<v Speaker 2>It tells you what's in the bowl. So if you

1432
01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:28.399
<v Speaker 2>got a recipe and you know what's already in there,

1433
01:15:28.439 --> 01:15:30.920
<v Speaker 2>then you know what you need to add if things

1434
01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:34.720
<v Speaker 2>are needed. And as a general guide my schedules, the

1435
01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>things I put out there, the products I put out

1436
01:15:36.600 --> 01:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>there are gonna work for years and years and years.

1437
01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:41.359
<v Speaker 2>You'll be fine. But if you really want to tweak things,

1438
01:15:41.479 --> 01:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>just occasionally do a sall test and check because you

1439
01:15:43.960 --> 01:15:46.720
<v Speaker 2>never know something could be way low or way high,

1440
01:15:46.840 --> 01:15:49.119
<v Speaker 2>and it's easy to fix that. It's very easy to

1441
01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:51.920
<v Speaker 2>fix that. All right. I hope that helps you little well.

1442
01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I hear music going. That means we're heading up at

1443
01:15:54.600 --> 01:15:56.479
<v Speaker 2>the top of an hour break. If you would like

1444

01:17:12.319 --> 01:17:14.560
<v Speaker 2>in the name. And there is no place that has

1465
01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:18.159
<v Speaker 2>the selection of natives and expertise that you'll find at

01:18:32.039 --> 01:18:34.560
<v Speaker 2>would need to use this seven one three two one

1494
01:18:34.640 --> 01:18:38.159
<v Speaker 2>two k t r H. Seven one three two one

<v Speaker 2>two k t r H. That is it, and we

1496
01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:46.399
<v Speaker 2>will get you up here. It's one of those lulls

1497
01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:49.680
<v Speaker 2>in the phone calls here, so I always like kind

1498
01:18:49.720 --> 01:18:53.279
<v Speaker 2>of tell you that, because here's the deal. When you know,

1499
01:18:53.319 --> 01:18:55.199
<v Speaker 2>when you call in and you're having to wait, nobody

1500
01:18:55.239 --> 01:18:56.520
<v Speaker 2>likes to do that, and I try to keep that

1501
01:18:56.560 --> 01:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to a minimum as we do it here. But there

1502
01:18:58.760 --> 01:19:01.159
<v Speaker 2>are certain times it's just quiet, and typically the end

1503
01:19:01.199 --> 01:19:03.039
<v Speaker 2>of the day on Sunday morning, here comes all the

1504
01:19:03.079 --> 01:19:06.239
<v Speaker 2>calls and I'm trying to get everybody in. So anyway,

1505
01:19:06.520 --> 01:19:09.000
<v Speaker 2>just kind of giving you an update. That's a score

1506
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:13.319
<v Speaker 2>that Nelson's Plant Foods has a wide variety of products.

1507
01:19:13.319 --> 01:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>They've got the turf Star line that's everything you need

1508
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:19.239
<v Speaker 2>for your lawn. They've got the nutri Star line, which

1509
01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:22.119
<v Speaker 2>is specific types of fertilizers. You know, they're nutri Star

1510
01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:25.279
<v Speaker 2>products for example for trees and shrubs. They got nutra

1511
01:19:25.399 --> 01:19:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Star type products for different groups of plants. But I

1512
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:31.199
<v Speaker 2>want to talk a little about color Star. Color Star

1513
01:19:31.399 --> 01:19:34.640
<v Speaker 2>has been well known for a long long time. This

1514
01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:39.159
<v Speaker 2>nineteen thirteen six fertilizer comes in plastic canisters. I suppose

1515
01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:40.479
<v Speaker 2>you can buy by the bag too, well, you can

1516
01:19:40.600 --> 01:19:43.199
<v Speaker 2>buy by the way, but most people get a little

1517
01:19:43.199 --> 01:19:45.319
<v Speaker 2>caster of it and whenever they're doing a flower bed,

1518
01:19:45.439 --> 01:19:47.760
<v Speaker 2>they follow the label, sprinkle it out there and then

1519
01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:50.119
<v Speaker 2>plant their plants. Mix it in the soil. Plant their

1520
01:19:50.159 --> 01:19:52.640
<v Speaker 2>plants about every three to four months, just do some

1521
01:19:52.680 --> 01:19:55.920
<v Speaker 2>more color Star on that area. It will cause blooming

1522
01:19:55.960 --> 01:19:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to happen because it gives the plants the things they

1523
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:02.159
<v Speaker 2>need to grow and thrive and bloom. Professional landscapers have

1524
01:20:02.199 --> 01:20:04.039
<v Speaker 2>been using color Star for a long time. You know,

1525
01:20:04.039 --> 01:20:06.640
<v Speaker 2>it's created like forty years ago. About forty years ago.

1526
01:20:07.199 --> 01:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Homeowners have known it for a long time. Got five

1527
01:20:09.399 --> 01:20:13.760
<v Speaker 2>different kinds of nitrogen in it, five different sources of nitrogen.

1528
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:15.680
<v Speaker 2>That's really good to have a blend like that. And

1529
01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>then they've got organic bone meal in there. They've got

1530
01:20:18.119 --> 01:20:21.199
<v Speaker 2>blood meal in there. That's part of the nutrient mix

1531
01:20:21.319 --> 01:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>to feed the soil and to feed your plants. Color

1532
01:20:24.039 --> 01:20:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Star from Nelson's find it in a lot of places.

1533
01:20:26.520 --> 01:20:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Look for little canisters. Some places around town even have

1534
01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>refills where you know how you go into the grocery

1535
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:33.439
<v Speaker 2>store and you own some more peanuts, You pull the

1536
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:35.680
<v Speaker 2>handle and get a bag full of peanuts. You can

1537
01:20:35.720 --> 01:20:38.800
<v Speaker 2>do that with Neilson Plant Food some of their products

1538
01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:42.199
<v Speaker 2>at a number of places around town too, which saves

1539
01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:45.680
<v Speaker 2>on plastic and which also is more economical. You're not

1540
01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:49.039
<v Speaker 2>buying a new plastic jar full of stop. So just

1541
01:20:49.119 --> 01:20:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a tip for the whys and those looking to save

1542
01:20:51.840 --> 01:20:53.880
<v Speaker 2>a bucker two in the process. You're not going to

1543
01:20:53.960 --> 01:20:56.840
<v Speaker 2>go wrong with color Star. It's an excellent, excellent product.

1544
01:20:58.279 --> 01:21:00.239
<v Speaker 2>The phone number is seven to one to three two

1545
01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:02.880
<v Speaker 2>one two k t r H. If you would like

1546
01:21:03.000 --> 01:21:06.800
<v Speaker 2>to give us a call. Uh are you someone who

1547
01:21:07.359 --> 01:21:09.479
<v Speaker 2>you drive up to your house and you look at

1548
01:21:09.479 --> 01:21:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the landscape and you go, you know, okay, that's that's okay,

1549
01:21:12.199 --> 01:21:15.800
<v Speaker 2>that's nice. But there's something missing. You know, there's I

1550
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:19.279
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't see the eye catching thing where you

1551
01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:22.359
<v Speaker 2>know you can't drive by without noticing this gorgeous flower

1552
01:21:22.399 --> 01:21:25.000
<v Speaker 2>bed or this beautiful flowering tree in the front, or

1553
01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:27.439
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, or maybe the way you've

1554
01:21:27.520 --> 01:21:30.520
<v Speaker 2>laid it out. Okay, let me can we talk.

1555
01:21:31.199 --> 01:21:31.439
<v Speaker 10>Mh.

1556
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just going to be real candid with you here.

1557
01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Just take a moment here and listen. Listen to this.

1558
01:21:39.560 --> 01:21:44.159
<v Speaker 2>When you are a plant collector like I am, and

1559
01:21:44.199 --> 01:21:48.640
<v Speaker 2>you're not a design expert, your garden tends to look

1560
01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:51.760
<v Speaker 2>like a bomb went off in a garden center and

1561
01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:54.760
<v Speaker 2>everything rooted where it landed. Do you know what I'm

1562
01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>talking about? Yeah, okay, don't waste your hand. People are watching,

1563
01:21:58.680 --> 01:22:01.760
<v Speaker 2>uh and when that happened. You know, you have beautiful

1564
01:22:01.760 --> 01:22:03.680
<v Speaker 2>plants and you go shopping and say, oh, I gotta

1565
01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:05.039
<v Speaker 2>have this plant, and you bring it home where I'm

1566
01:22:05.039 --> 01:22:06.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna oh, there's a little place there and squeeze it in,

1567
01:22:07.359 --> 01:22:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're not looking at seasons like what blooms. When

1568
01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:12.680
<v Speaker 2>you may have all your yard on the left side

1569
01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:14.800
<v Speaker 2>bloom in the spring, on the right side bloom in

1570
01:22:14.840 --> 01:22:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the summer or fall. You're not considering design and aesthetics

1571
01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:21.520
<v Speaker 2>and colors and all that. If you're that kind of person,

1572
01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:24.199
<v Speaker 2>you should call Pierce Scapes. You can be the one

01:24:19.560 --> 01:24:22.159
<v Speaker 2>ideas that you're looking for, or the bugs that you

1618
01:24:36.479 --> 01:24:40.520
<v Speaker 2>phrase I mentioned before, that's what the song drive. All right, guys,

1619
01:24:40.880 --> 01:24:43.640
<v Speaker 2>we're going to head straight out to the phones here

1620
01:24:43.720 --> 01:24:47.560
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna go to Christine and Magnolia. Hey Christine,

1621
01:24:47.600 --> 01:24:48.479
<v Speaker 2>welcome to guard Line.

1622
01:24:49.600 --> 01:24:50.640
<v Speaker 17>Good morning, now are you.

1623
01:24:52.119 --> 01:24:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm good? I'm good. How can we help today?

1624
01:24:56.560 --> 01:24:59.119
<v Speaker 17>Before we go too farther, I'm driving, so hopefully I

1625
01:24:59.159 --> 01:25:04.199
<v Speaker 17>won't lose you. But I'm looking for unplugged blue salvia

1626
01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:06.840
<v Speaker 17>by proven Winners. I read an article about it in

1627
01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:09.640
<v Speaker 17>the paper, and we have some good success with salvia,

1628
01:25:09.760 --> 01:25:12.800
<v Speaker 17>like a lot of people, and so I want to

1629
01:25:12.800 --> 01:25:14.640
<v Speaker 17>put them in a pot. And I'm wondering if I

1630
01:25:14.680 --> 01:25:17.039
<v Speaker 17>can plant them. Now, where can I find them? And

1631
01:25:17.039 --> 01:25:17.680
<v Speaker 17>can I plant it?

1632
01:25:17.720 --> 01:25:17.920
<v Speaker 7>Now.

1633
01:25:19.640 --> 01:25:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't keep up with every single species and variety,

1634
01:25:23.520 --> 01:25:26.359
<v Speaker 2>but I'll tell you this. You're closest place I would

1635
01:25:26.359 --> 01:25:29.000
<v Speaker 2>go right now is Arburgate. They're in tom Ball, okay,

1636
01:25:29.079 --> 01:25:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and I'm carry a lot of They have a lot

1637
01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:34.680
<v Speaker 2>of proven winters plant and just call them if you

1638
01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:36.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, I would go because whether they have it

1639
01:25:36.720 --> 01:25:38.640
<v Speaker 2>or not, I love to go to Arbigate. I'll find

1640
01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:41.079
<v Speaker 2>something else I'll want to. They've got a lot a

1641
01:25:41.079 --> 01:25:43.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of proven winters plants, and they have a really

1642
01:25:43.039 --> 01:25:46.399
<v Speaker 2>good collection of salvia's too, you know, rocking the blues.

1643
01:25:46.439 --> 01:25:48.439
<v Speaker 2>And they're just a whole bunch of new varieties of

1644
01:25:48.439 --> 01:25:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Salvia's that they carry. So check them out. They're they're

1645
01:25:52.560 --> 01:25:54.600
<v Speaker 2>likely to have it. They don't, I'll bet they can

1646
01:25:54.640 --> 01:25:57.880
<v Speaker 2>get it. And so they're real good about when they

1647
01:25:57.880 --> 01:26:00.960
<v Speaker 2>can get stuff in bringing it in a future shipment,

1648
01:26:01.159 --> 01:26:03.439
<v Speaker 2>you know. So just see that's where.

1649
01:26:03.279 --> 01:26:06.159
<v Speaker 17>I'd start, okay. And then do you think I can

1650
01:26:06.199 --> 01:26:06.960
<v Speaker 17>plant it now?

1651
01:26:08.680 --> 01:26:12.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yes, yes, perennials. Now is great. They have all

1652
01:26:12.760 --> 01:26:15.960
<v Speaker 2>winter to settle in real good and when next summer comes,

1653
01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:17.439
<v Speaker 2>you'll be glad you fall planted.

1654
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:20.119
<v Speaker 17>Okay, thank you so much.

1655
01:26:21.199 --> 01:26:23.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, Christine, Thanks for the for the call. I

1656
01:26:23.960 --> 01:26:29.680
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that. I you know I talk about the importance

1657
01:26:29.960 --> 01:26:34.640
<v Speaker 2>of getting your fall lawn care things done as ap. Well,

1658
01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say it one more time. It is

1659
01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:40.000
<v Speaker 2>important when you play baseball. Do you start swinging when

1660
01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the ball gets over the plate, when it's trot in

1661
01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:43.399
<v Speaker 2>front of you, or do you start swinging after it

1662
01:26:43.439 --> 01:26:45.439
<v Speaker 2>comes out of the picture's hand. You make your judgment

1663
01:26:45.439 --> 01:26:48.079
<v Speaker 2>and start the swing right. Well, of course you start

1664
01:26:48.239 --> 01:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>the second. When you're going to do fall long care.

1665
01:26:51.640 --> 01:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you wait until you see weeds to put on barricade? No,

1666
01:26:54.119 --> 01:26:55.479
<v Speaker 2>you put it on ahead of time. Do you wait

1667
01:26:55.840 --> 01:26:58.199
<v Speaker 2>until you see brown patch circles to put on egal

1668
01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:00.479
<v Speaker 2>turf funder side? No, you put it on ahead of time.

1669
01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:02.279
<v Speaker 2>It's taken up by the roots to fight the disease

1670
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:05.079
<v Speaker 2>when it shows up. Do you wait until it's so

1671
01:27:05.159 --> 01:27:07.199
<v Speaker 2>cold the grass is barely taking up stuff from the

1672
01:27:07.239 --> 01:27:09.880
<v Speaker 2>roots anymore to put down fall special No? You do

1673
01:27:09.960 --> 01:27:13.279
<v Speaker 2>it now. Get them all done now, one, two, three, easy, easy.

1674
01:27:13.359 --> 01:27:16.560
<v Speaker 2>That's the Texas three step from nitroposs. You can do

1675
01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:18.359
<v Speaker 2>them all on the same day. Just don't put them

1676
01:27:18.399 --> 01:27:20.399
<v Speaker 2>on the same hopper. Just go out there and fertilize,

1677
01:27:20.399 --> 01:27:21.800
<v Speaker 2>go out there and put the barricade, go out there

1678
01:27:21.800 --> 01:27:24.520
<v Speaker 2>and put the funsize. Whichever of those products you you

1679
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.880
<v Speaker 2>can do all three, Or if you typically don't have

1680
01:27:28.760 --> 01:27:31.199
<v Speaker 2>brown patch problems, well maybe you don't need the eagle turf.

1681
01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:34.479
<v Speaker 2>If you're not over water and overfertilizing and you haven't

1682
01:27:34.520 --> 01:27:36.800
<v Speaker 2>had that problem, if your lawn is good and dense,

1683
01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe you don't need the barricade. I'm just saying. I'm

1684
01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:40.920
<v Speaker 2>not saying you have to put out everything all the time.

1685
01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, those are the three things that are

1686
01:27:43.000 --> 01:27:45.199
<v Speaker 2>happening now that you need to take care of, and

1687
01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:47.159
<v Speaker 2>if they've been a problem, you definitely need to do it.

1688
01:27:47.199 --> 01:27:50.399
<v Speaker 2>But certainly all lawns that fall special winter riser to

1689
01:27:50.399 --> 01:27:53.159
<v Speaker 2>get it ready for winter very important. We're going to

1690
01:27:53.239 --> 01:27:56.479
<v Speaker 2>go back now to the phones to northwest Houston and

1691
01:27:56.520 --> 01:27:57.239
<v Speaker 2>talk to Barbara.

1692
01:27:57.239 --> 01:28:02.399
<v Speaker 13>Hello, Barbara, NY good morning or afternoon, it's still morning.

1693
01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:08.439
<v Speaker 2>We can talk till the cows come home. Thank you?

1694
01:28:08.479 --> 01:28:08.720
<v Speaker 10>Do you?

1695
01:28:09.159 --> 01:28:12.079
<v Speaker 2>But do you pay attention to what I'm saying, Barbara,

1696
01:28:12.159 --> 01:28:14.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a question. I know people listen, but I wonder

1697
01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:16.359
<v Speaker 2>if anybody is paying attention.

1698
01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:23.960
<v Speaker 14>Mine is just very well that's because I listened to you,

1699
01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:26.720
<v Speaker 14>so I have anybody.

1700
01:28:26.319 --> 01:28:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Who's okay, all right, I go for it. All right.

1701
01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:35.199
<v Speaker 14>It's dropping the leaves, the churning collar and it's dropping

1702
01:28:35.279 --> 01:28:38.520
<v Speaker 14>leaves like mad. And I just think that it never

1703
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:42.159
<v Speaker 14>does it this early, and my little I know it's

1704
01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:44.439
<v Speaker 14>a peach tree, but it's got purple leaves.

1705
01:28:44.439 --> 01:28:45.640
<v Speaker 8>It never gets any peach.

1706
01:28:45.680 --> 01:28:48.399
<v Speaker 14>I think it's a decorative thing, but it's still doing

1707
01:28:48.439 --> 01:28:49.079
<v Speaker 14>the same thing.

1708
01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this has been a very dry and unseasonably warm fall,

1709
01:28:56.960 --> 01:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and things are happening earlier. It was a month ago

1710
01:29:00.039 --> 01:29:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I had crape. I don't overwater my landscape and I

1711
01:29:02.640 --> 01:29:05.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of leave it to take care of itself on

1712
01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:08.560
<v Speaker 2>what comes to water, except for things like lawns. But

1713
01:29:08.920 --> 01:29:11.399
<v Speaker 2>my peach tree and my peach tree, my crpe myrtles

1714
01:29:11.399 --> 01:29:14.520
<v Speaker 2>were dropping leaves weeks ago. They were starting to do

1715
01:29:14.680 --> 01:29:17.439
<v Speaker 2>They get a little thirsty, and you know, just because

1716
01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:18.960
<v Speaker 2>they're a little thirsty doesn't mean you have to water

1717
01:29:19.000 --> 01:29:21.079
<v Speaker 2>them right away. But I think on those you're going

1718
01:29:21.119 --> 01:29:24.760
<v Speaker 2>to be okay. It is it is most likely ninety

1719
01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:28.159
<v Speaker 2>percent sure. This is nothing to worry about. This is

1720
01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:32.159
<v Speaker 2>just give them a good soaking, you know, whenever they're dry,

1721
01:29:32.279 --> 01:29:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and this fall snuck up on us. It just wasn't

1722
01:29:35.199 --> 01:29:37.840
<v Speaker 2>blazing hot like summer was, but it was hot and

1723
01:29:37.880 --> 01:29:40.720
<v Speaker 2>it was dry. It was a long time and we've

1724
01:29:40.800 --> 01:29:42.720
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing a lot of what you're describing. So I

1725
01:29:42.760 --> 01:29:44.359
<v Speaker 2>think you can worry about this one.

1726
01:29:44.920 --> 01:29:48.319
<v Speaker 14>Okay, Well, thank you so much, and have a wonderful weekend.

1727
01:29:48.439 --> 01:29:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Bye bye, all right, you too, Thank you very much.

1728
01:29:51.600 --> 01:29:55.399
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that. Yeah, anybody who is married or has

1729
01:29:55.560 --> 01:29:58.880
<v Speaker 2>kids know that there is a difference between listening and

1730
01:29:58.920 --> 01:30:03.399
<v Speaker 2>paying attention. Anybody who's a school teacher knows there's an

1731
01:30:03.439 --> 01:30:10.119
<v Speaker 2>efferge between listening and paying attention. Oh gosh, somebody at

1732
01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the other day posted something. It was something along the

1733
01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:16.439
<v Speaker 2>lines of my wife said, are you even paying attention

1734
01:30:16.520 --> 01:30:18.119
<v Speaker 2>to me? And I thought, what a strange way to

1735
01:30:18.159 --> 01:30:23.399
<v Speaker 2>begin a conversation. Maybe that's too painful to be funny,

1736
01:30:23.399 --> 01:30:26.119
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's hilarious. We're going to go to

1737
01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the west side and talk to Carl. Now, Hey, Carl,

1738
01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:31.079
<v Speaker 2>welcome to garden Line. Thank you sir.

1739
01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:36.239
<v Speaker 18>Now, please have the spreader setting for the eagle fund

1740
01:30:36.319 --> 01:30:36.920
<v Speaker 18>a side.

1741
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, it depends on the spreader, and that is

1742
01:30:40.800 --> 01:30:44.960
<v Speaker 2>very fine textured stuff. If I were you, it's always

1743
01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:47.880
<v Speaker 2>better to I don't have a number for you. Am

1744
01:30:47.880 --> 01:30:49.840
<v Speaker 2>my head on that. And it depends on the spreader,

1745
01:30:50.239 --> 01:30:52.760
<v Speaker 2>but it's going to be a very cranked down small

1746
01:30:52.840 --> 01:30:54.960
<v Speaker 2>opening that you're going to use because that's a very

1747
01:30:55.000 --> 01:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>fine textured product. Okay, I would use a handspreader, the

1748
01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>low kind you go through the yard and you're turning

1749
01:31:01.680 --> 01:31:04.119
<v Speaker 2>it and walking, cause you can set those to put

1750
01:31:04.159 --> 01:31:05.920
<v Speaker 2>out a small rate, and I would go north and

1751
01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:08.680
<v Speaker 2>south across the yard, and then I would look at

1752
01:31:08.680 --> 01:31:11.399
<v Speaker 2>how much I used go east and west across the yard,

1753
01:31:11.479 --> 01:31:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and the more you kind of do that crisscross and

1754
01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:17.239
<v Speaker 2>you under apply. You can always come back and apply more.

1755
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:20.119
<v Speaker 2>But what I've had two calls today, people that started

1756
01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:21.960
<v Speaker 2>off thinking they were on the right setting. They got

1757
01:31:22.039 --> 01:31:24.039
<v Speaker 2>less than halfway through the yard and they were out,

1758
01:31:24.239 --> 01:31:26.439
<v Speaker 2>and so obviously they weren't putting it out the right rate.

1759
01:31:26.880 --> 01:31:29.000
<v Speaker 2>So I would go that route. I do that with

1760
01:31:29.079 --> 01:31:31.840
<v Speaker 2>fertilizer and other things too. You can always come back

1761
01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:34.520
<v Speaker 2>and make another pass across them to get the rest

1762
01:31:34.560 --> 01:31:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of it out. But when you run out, that's a problem.

1763
01:31:38.920 --> 01:31:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Perfect well, great show, Thank you sir, right and don't

1764
01:31:42.680 --> 01:31:45.279
<v Speaker 2>forget to water that eagle inkral when you get done

1765
01:31:45.319 --> 01:31:47.279
<v Speaker 2>with it, because the roots are going to take it up.

1766
01:31:47.399 --> 01:31:49.640
<v Speaker 2>And you got to get that done real soon, because

1767
01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm already seeing bron patch in area of yards. Thanks sir.

1768
01:31:56.880 --> 01:32:02.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, I guess people. I talk to people

1769
01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:05.520
<v Speaker 2>all the time, and they say things like I can't

1770
01:32:05.520 --> 01:32:07.439
<v Speaker 2>grow anything. I have trouble growing that. I tried that

1771
01:32:07.479 --> 01:32:09.199
<v Speaker 2>and I killed it, or I did this or did that,

1772
01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:11.720
<v Speaker 2>or what's the secret to? And then they fill in

1773
01:32:11.760 --> 01:32:14.159
<v Speaker 2>a plant plant And you know, there are a lot

1774
01:32:14.159 --> 01:32:16.680
<v Speaker 2>of things plants need. Plants need sunlight, plants need water,

1775
01:32:16.720 --> 01:32:21.399
<v Speaker 2>plants need good drainage. But I would say the one primary,

1776
01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:26.439
<v Speaker 2>single most important thing is good soil so the plant

1777
01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:29.600
<v Speaker 2>can thrive in it. And how do we do that?

1778
01:32:29.680 --> 01:32:32.199
<v Speaker 2>I call soil brown stuff? And what is brown stuff?

1779
01:32:32.199 --> 01:32:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Brown stuff is the soil particles that you have on

1780
01:32:35.239 --> 01:32:38.439
<v Speaker 2>your site, send, silk, clay, whatever you have on your site.

1781
01:32:38.840 --> 01:32:42.439
<v Speaker 2>So brown stuff is the organic matter that's in the soil.

1782
01:32:42.640 --> 01:32:45.279
<v Speaker 2>We call that compost when we're adding it. But nature

1783
01:32:45.359 --> 01:32:48.960
<v Speaker 2>creates organic matter in a process, a very slow version

1784
01:32:49.000 --> 01:32:53.000
<v Speaker 2>of composting, if you will. And the brown stuff is

1785
01:32:53.000 --> 01:32:56.319
<v Speaker 2>the nutrients, the nitrogen, phosphor's, potassium, and twenty plus other

1786
01:32:56.399 --> 01:32:59.920
<v Speaker 2>nutrients it plants need. Starting with the brown stuff means

1787
01:33:00.119 --> 01:33:02.640
<v Speaker 2>you start with the foundation for success. It's like building

1788
01:33:02.640 --> 01:33:04.640
<v Speaker 2>a house. Would you go out there on the you know,

1789
01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:07.039
<v Speaker 2>the beach and start laying two by fours on the

1790
01:33:07.039 --> 01:33:09.600
<v Speaker 2>ground to build your beach home. No, you wouldn't. That.

1791
01:33:09.600 --> 01:33:12.479
<v Speaker 2>That's a horrible foundation. It would never make it well.

1792
01:33:12.520 --> 01:33:14.880
<v Speaker 2>We do that when we plant without preparing the soil.

1793
01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Go to Cienamultch. If you're south of town. Ciena Maltch

1794
01:33:17.880 --> 01:33:20.600
<v Speaker 2>is just in your neighborhood. It's near near oh I

1795
01:33:20.600 --> 01:33:22.680
<v Speaker 2>guess you could say Highway six and two eighty eight

1796
01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:25.239
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in that region near Sienna. It's on FM five

1797
01:33:25.479 --> 01:33:28.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, five twenty one. Here's the website. Just write

1798
01:33:28.479 --> 01:33:32.640
<v Speaker 2>this down. Cienamultch dot com, cinamlts dot com. They've got

1799
01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:35.920
<v Speaker 2>bagged soil products, they have bulk soil products, and they

1800
01:33:35.920 --> 01:33:38.760
<v Speaker 2>have fertilizers and they have them on all the brands

1801
01:33:38.760 --> 01:33:41.199
<v Speaker 2>that I recommend on guard line. I cannot recommend this

1802
01:33:41.239 --> 01:33:45.319
<v Speaker 2>place enough. So we're talking about things like landscaper's pride.

1803
01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:50.960
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about things like the products from heirlooms soils,

1804
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:55.800
<v Speaker 2>for example, we're talking about things like Microlife or Nelson's

1805
01:33:55.800 --> 01:34:01.319
<v Speaker 2>fertilizers or Nitrophoss fertilizers or Medina fertilizers. We're talking you

1806
01:34:01.439 --> 01:34:04.079
<v Speaker 2>about some best control stuff they have. But when you

1807
01:34:04.119 --> 01:34:05.920
<v Speaker 2>go to Siena or you call them up and have

1808
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:07.600
<v Speaker 2>them to deliver it. By the way, they're closed today,

1809
01:34:07.640 --> 01:34:09.800
<v Speaker 2>but they're open Monay through Friday seven thirty to five,

1810
01:34:10.079 --> 01:34:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and they are open on Saturdays from seven thirty to two.

1811
01:34:14.199 --> 01:34:17.199
<v Speaker 2>They'll deliver within about twenty miles for a delivery fee,

1812
01:34:17.439 --> 01:34:19.079
<v Speaker 2>or you can just go get it however you want

1813
01:34:19.119 --> 01:34:21.399
<v Speaker 2>to go about it. The main thing is just do it.

1814
01:34:21.640 --> 01:34:25.680
<v Speaker 2>You're its fall planting season. Don't stick a ground in

1815
01:34:25.960 --> 01:34:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the plant in the soil that's not prepared. Don't stick

1816
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>a plant in the ground that's not prepared. I though

1817
01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:35.560
<v Speaker 2>another way you can put it, if you like Peter

1818
01:34:35.640 --> 01:34:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Piper picked a peck of pickle peppers, is don't PLoP

1819
01:34:37.840 --> 01:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>a plant in another prepared plot. Don't do it. You

1820
01:34:41.880 --> 01:34:45.039
<v Speaker 2>spent money on that plant. You can envision the flowers

1821
01:34:45.079 --> 01:34:46.960
<v Speaker 2>or the fruit or the vegetables or whatever it's going

1822
01:34:47.000 --> 01:34:51.319
<v Speaker 2>to have. Realize that dream. By starting with the soil,

1823
01:34:51.640 --> 01:34:54.239
<v Speaker 2>brown stuff before green stuff, and sanamlch is a great

1824
01:34:54.239 --> 01:34:56.640
<v Speaker 2>place to do that. We're going to go now to

1825
01:34:57.079 --> 01:35:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Michael in Galveston. Hey, Michael, welcome to garden Line. Well,

1826
01:35:01.279 --> 01:35:02.479
<v Speaker 2>good morning. Hey.

1827
01:35:02.560 --> 01:35:04.119
<v Speaker 19>A friend of mine gave me a whole bunch of

1828
01:35:04.199 --> 01:35:07.600
<v Speaker 19>packets of blue bonnets, and it dawned on me. I

1829
01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:12.239
<v Speaker 19>have never seen blue bonnets in potted in pots? Can

1830
01:35:12.239 --> 01:35:14.720
<v Speaker 19>they be grown in pots? I've never even seen them

1831
01:35:14.760 --> 01:35:16.039
<v Speaker 19>sold in pots?

1832
01:35:18.039 --> 01:35:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you can do that. They they're not real big

1833
01:35:21.279 --> 01:35:23.560
<v Speaker 2>plants at that stage. You just gently get them out

1834
01:35:23.600 --> 01:35:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and put them in the soil and they can do

1835
01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:28.159
<v Speaker 2>that transplanting if you don't disturb the roots a lot.

1836
01:35:28.279 --> 01:35:30.319
<v Speaker 2>But you can get ahead start that way with blue

1837
01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:33.399
<v Speaker 2>bonnets and pots. What if I just wanted to grow

1838
01:35:33.439 --> 01:35:37.560
<v Speaker 2>them in the pot to full size? Well, they come

1839
01:35:37.560 --> 01:35:40.239
<v Speaker 2>in like typically, are you talking about like them? Usually

1840
01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:42.119
<v Speaker 2>they're sold in a little four inch pot?

1841
01:35:43.439 --> 01:35:43.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

1842
01:35:44.560 --> 01:35:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Are you seeing them seeds? Okay? You can. You just

1843
01:35:48.920 --> 01:35:51.600
<v Speaker 2>need a real big pot for blue bonnets to do well.

1844
01:35:51.760 --> 01:35:54.600
<v Speaker 2>They don't. Don't give them too small of a container.

1845
01:35:54.680 --> 01:35:57.760
<v Speaker 2>But you can go grow blue bonnets and containers from seed.

1846
01:35:57.960 --> 01:35:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes you can.

1847
01:36:00.239 --> 01:36:02.159
<v Speaker 19>I could say I've just I've never seen it before.

1848
01:36:02.319 --> 01:36:04.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not going to try it. Oh yeah, yeah, it

1849
01:36:04.960 --> 01:36:07.279
<v Speaker 2>can be done. You know a lot of people don't

1850
01:36:07.319 --> 01:36:09.720
<v Speaker 2>do it because blue bonnets they don't look like much

1851
01:36:09.760 --> 01:36:11.359
<v Speaker 2>until we get to spring and then they look real

1852
01:36:11.399 --> 01:36:14.840
<v Speaker 2>great and then they die after that setting seats. But

1853
01:36:15.800 --> 01:36:18.279
<v Speaker 2>it absolutely can be done. All right, thanks for the call,

1854
01:36:18.359 --> 01:36:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Good luck with that. Thank you, bye bye, take care bye.

1855

<v Speaker 2>Alrighty here, well, I am looking at another break coming

<v Speaker 2>I'm your host, skip Rictor, and we're here to help

<v Speaker 2>a more beautiful landscape, and have more fun in the process.

<v Speaker 2>That's what we want to see happen. Give a call,

1867
01:36:58.000 --> 01:36:59.960
<v Speaker 2>we can make that happen, or he'll make that happen.

1868
01:37:00.039 --> 01:37:02.239
<v Speaker 2>And you know, gardening is fun and learning is forever.

1869
01:37:02.399 --> 01:37:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know this gardening keep I'll tell you this,

1870
01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:08.199
<v Speaker 2>gardening keeps you young. And one reason is because it

1871
01:37:08.319 --> 01:37:12.000
<v Speaker 2>is a forever, hopeful, optimistic process. Now, I know you

1872
01:37:12.039 --> 01:37:15.399
<v Speaker 2>get discouraged and things. I understand that, but really, when

1873
01:37:15.439 --> 01:37:17.560
<v Speaker 2>you buy a seed, take a look at a handful

1874
01:37:17.600 --> 01:37:22.079
<v Speaker 2>of seeds, it is just dead detritus in your hand.

1875
01:37:22.119 --> 01:37:24.399
<v Speaker 2>But when you can look at a seed and see

1876
01:37:24.399 --> 01:37:27.720
<v Speaker 2>a tomato, you're starting to get it. You're starting to

1877
01:37:27.760 --> 01:37:31.920
<v Speaker 2>get it. And gardening is hope. When I purchase a

1878
01:37:31.960 --> 01:37:33.640
<v Speaker 2>pack of seat, when I purchase a plan at the

1879
01:37:33.640 --> 01:37:37.039
<v Speaker 2>garden center, somebody just calling about salvia is a while

1880
01:37:37.079 --> 01:37:38.920
<v Speaker 2>ago and we're talking about going bout Arburgat and getting

1881
01:37:38.920 --> 01:37:41.520
<v Speaker 2>that salvia. I'll walk into arbagate and I'll see the salve.

1882
01:37:41.640 --> 01:37:43.439
<v Speaker 2>I I mean, maybe have a fluid blooms on. It

1883
01:37:43.479 --> 01:37:46.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't need to That's what people like to pick out.

1884
01:37:46.359 --> 01:37:48.720
<v Speaker 2>And once the balloom's on them, I pick that up.

1885
01:37:48.960 --> 01:37:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I already can see it in the landscape grown. It's

1886
01:37:53.039 --> 01:37:55.720
<v Speaker 2>full size with hummingbirds coming in to get the nectar.

1887
01:37:55.760 --> 01:37:58.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, I mean I can see like that and

1888
01:37:58.279 --> 01:38:00.119
<v Speaker 2>you can too. I know you can do this. You

1889
01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:02.319
<v Speaker 2>do it every time you buy a peach tree and

1890
01:38:02.520 --> 01:38:05.359
<v Speaker 2>you can taste peaches. I mean you just stop, closize

1891
01:38:05.359 --> 01:38:07.560
<v Speaker 2>a minute, think about what a peach tastes like. See,

1892
01:38:07.560 --> 01:38:11.000
<v Speaker 2>you can do that. And gardening is a hopeful, hopeful process.

1893
01:38:11.039 --> 01:38:14.880
<v Speaker 2>And we are optimists as gardeners. We believe in the future.

1894
01:38:15.119 --> 01:38:17.239
<v Speaker 2>You know, to plant, they say, to plant a tree

1895
01:38:17.279 --> 01:38:18.880
<v Speaker 2>is to believe in the future. They also say the

1896
01:38:18.960 --> 01:38:20.880
<v Speaker 2>best time to plant a tree is forty years ago.

1897
01:38:20.920 --> 01:38:23.800
<v Speaker 2>The second best time is today. And they also say,

1898
01:38:23.840 --> 01:38:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm full of quotes today. They also say that a

1899
01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:32.159
<v Speaker 2>society is great when old men plant trees under whose

1900
01:38:32.399 --> 01:38:35.960
<v Speaker 2>shade they will never set. That is good thinking. I

1901
01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:39.560
<v Speaker 2>like that. The point is gardening is an eye to

1902
01:38:39.640 --> 01:38:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the future. It's an eye to hope. And it keeps

1903
01:38:41.720 --> 01:38:44.159
<v Speaker 2>you young. It keeps you It keeps your body young

1904
01:38:44.279 --> 01:38:46.800
<v Speaker 2>by moving around, and actually it keeps your mind young.

1905
01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:51.279
<v Speaker 2>It does. And I'm telling you it's therapy. Gardening is

1906
01:38:51.319 --> 01:38:54.079
<v Speaker 2>therapy and it really does work. So I keep talking

1907
01:38:54.079 --> 01:38:56.079
<v Speaker 2>about that because I believe in it and I want

1908
01:38:56.119 --> 01:38:58.000
<v Speaker 2>you to believe in it too. I mean, it is

1909
01:38:58.119 --> 01:39:02.279
<v Speaker 2>it is absolutely so true. So anyway, so what is

1910
01:39:02.319 --> 01:39:04.279
<v Speaker 2>all that about. Well, I'll tell you what that's about.

1911
01:39:04.640 --> 01:39:07.119
<v Speaker 2>That means get out there and try it. That means learn.

1912
01:39:07.920 --> 01:39:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Listen to guard line all the time, set your clocks,

1913
01:39:10.359 --> 01:39:12.600
<v Speaker 2>say hey, wake up, guard lines coming on. I don't

1914
01:39:12.600 --> 01:39:14.359
<v Speaker 2>know some are going to do that, but I think

1915
01:39:14.359 --> 01:39:16.119
<v Speaker 2>you should. I used to say in the morning. First

1916
01:39:16.159 --> 01:39:19.039
<v Speaker 2>thing that if you look over next door and the

1917
01:39:19.159 --> 01:39:21.399
<v Speaker 2>lights are off, go bang on the door. Tell your

1918
01:39:21.399 --> 01:39:25.039
<v Speaker 2>neighbors they're missing garden line. They will thank you so

1919
01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:28.560
<v Speaker 2>much for that. Maybe not right away, but they will

1920
01:39:28.560 --> 01:39:31.600
<v Speaker 2>come to appreciate it. They sure will. We want to

1921
01:39:31.640 --> 01:39:33.399
<v Speaker 2>learn more, we want to have fun. So I like

1922
01:39:33.439 --> 01:39:35.000
<v Speaker 2>these appearances like the one I'm going to make it

1923
01:39:35.079 --> 01:39:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Wilbirds Unlimited out in Kingwood on Kingwood Drive, right behind

1934
01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:12.439
<v Speaker 2>going to head up to Type Cypress, Texas and talk

1935
01:40:12.479 --> 01:40:14.600
<v Speaker 2>to Tom. Hey, Tom, welcome to garden.

1936
01:40:14.479 --> 01:40:17.720
<v Speaker 10>Line more and skip. Just listen to you.

1937
01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:20.239
<v Speaker 18>Sounds like you got a shortage of callers this morning,

1938
01:40:20.279 --> 01:40:23.039
<v Speaker 18>so I thought i'd call in with a little comment

1939
01:40:23.079 --> 01:40:26.079
<v Speaker 18>of trick I came up with to save some of

1940
01:40:26.119 --> 01:40:31.880
<v Speaker 18>my plants from the Indian summer. I got a wild

1941
01:40:31.880 --> 01:40:34.560
<v Speaker 18>here and bought some turnips in September. When I was

1942
01:40:35.000 --> 01:40:37.560
<v Speaker 18>buying seedlings, they didn't have what I wanted, and I said, well,

1943
01:40:37.600 --> 01:40:41.199
<v Speaker 18>I never grew turnups, I'll try those. But once I

1944
01:40:41.199 --> 01:40:44.159
<v Speaker 18>got them growing, and it stayed so hot so long,

1945
01:40:44.680 --> 01:40:45.079
<v Speaker 18>I could.

1946
01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:47.800
<v Speaker 10>See every day the leaves would just wilt in.

1947
01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:51.319
<v Speaker 18>The middle of the afternoon. Then they'd start breaking off,

1948
01:40:51.359 --> 01:40:53.840
<v Speaker 18>you know, the vein down the center. After they wilt,

1949
01:40:53.840 --> 01:40:56.920
<v Speaker 18>it would just break. So I came up with a

1950
01:40:56.960 --> 01:40:58.760
<v Speaker 18>little trick. Didn't cost me a thing. I thought I

1951
01:40:58.880 --> 01:41:02.439
<v Speaker 18>might pass it on. I had three old card tables

1952
01:41:02.479 --> 01:41:05.279
<v Speaker 18>stored in the garage, and so I.

1953
01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:07.079
<v Speaker 10>Just pulled the legs down and at.

1954
01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:09.239
<v Speaker 18>About eleven o'clock in the morning, I would set that

1955
01:41:09.359 --> 01:41:13.760
<v Speaker 18>card table up over the turnt plant and then keep

1956
01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:17.439
<v Speaker 18>the sun off in between like eleven and four, and

1957
01:41:17.920 --> 01:41:20.399
<v Speaker 18>that kept those leaves from wilting and breaking off.

1958
01:41:20.439 --> 01:41:22.760
<v Speaker 10>So I thought, I just passed it on.

1959
01:41:24.399 --> 01:41:26.319
<v Speaker 18>A cool trick. I was just dreamed up.

1960
01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there you go. Well, I mean I've seen so

1961
01:41:30.199 --> 01:41:32.920
<v Speaker 2>many different ways of shading plants over the years, from

1962
01:41:32.960 --> 01:41:35.840
<v Speaker 2>an old license plate stuck halfway in the ground at

1963
01:41:35.840 --> 01:41:38.960
<v Speaker 2>an angle above a tomato a transplant, to you name it,

1964
01:41:39.000 --> 01:41:41.319
<v Speaker 2>and that I have not heard that one yet. So

1965
01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it's just people that live here, that live here that

1966
01:41:47.119 --> 01:41:49.199
<v Speaker 2>might have an opinion about me hauling a card table

1967
01:41:49.199 --> 01:41:50.760
<v Speaker 2>out to the garden. But we'll see.

1968
01:41:51.960 --> 01:41:57.039
<v Speaker 18>Well where I am, it's it's kind of a anachronism.

1969
01:41:57.159 --> 01:42:00.600
<v Speaker 18>It's an old neighborhood that was moved in here in

1970
01:42:00.640 --> 01:42:03.640
<v Speaker 18>the nineteen eighties, and it's sort of like a little

1971
01:42:03.640 --> 01:42:07.239
<v Speaker 18>island of country in the city. So nobody, you know,

1972
01:42:07.279 --> 01:42:09.920
<v Speaker 18>everybody's got like I mean, we're half an acre to

1973
01:42:10.079 --> 01:42:12.199
<v Speaker 18>two acres and you pretty much do whatever you want.

1974
01:42:12.279 --> 01:42:16.760
<v Speaker 10>So anyway, I thought, I I just pass on that

1975
01:42:16.840 --> 01:42:17.399
<v Speaker 10>little trick.

1976
01:42:17.479 --> 01:42:18.720
<v Speaker 18>So have a great day.

1977
01:42:18.800 --> 01:42:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Tom. Thanks, thank you appreciate that call. Thanks very much.

1978
01:42:22.239 --> 01:42:24.079
<v Speaker 2>It's always interesting to find the things that people come

1979
01:42:24.159 --> 01:42:26.079
<v Speaker 2>up with. You know, a day doesn't go by that

1980
01:42:26.119 --> 01:42:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't learn something in gardening, even if it's maybe

1981
01:42:29.039 --> 01:42:32.079
<v Speaker 2>not something I'm going to use, but at least learning something.

1982
01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Or I like talking to gardeners because listen to people

1983
01:42:35.000 --> 01:42:37.800
<v Speaker 2>that are out there gardening and trying things. Some times

1984
01:42:37.800 --> 01:42:39.680
<v Speaker 2>we get really creative and we can come up with

1985
01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:43.319
<v Speaker 2>some really cool, fun ideas. That's part of the fun

1986
01:42:43.359 --> 01:42:45.560
<v Speaker 2>of gardening. That is part of the fun of gardening.

1987
01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:49.720
<v Speaker 2>To do that. I talking about shades and things over plants,

1988
01:42:49.720 --> 01:42:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and one of the things I will often do is

1989
01:42:51.840 --> 01:42:55.600
<v Speaker 2>is just stretch a piece of shade fabric. You can

1990
01:42:55.600 --> 01:42:58.680
<v Speaker 2>buy shade fabric pretty inexpensively, little sections, maybe it's a

1991
01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:01.199
<v Speaker 2>little tart that's a shade tar or something. Cut it

1992
01:43:01.319 --> 01:43:03.359
<v Speaker 2>up and figure a way to just string it up

1993
01:43:03.399 --> 01:43:06.520
<v Speaker 2>over plants at an angle, you know, find that place

1994
01:43:06.560 --> 01:43:10.640
<v Speaker 2>where from especially after lunch and up to about four

1995
01:43:10.680 --> 01:43:12.560
<v Speaker 2>o'clock or so, when it's about the hottest time of

1996
01:43:12.600 --> 01:43:15.680
<v Speaker 2>the day, you can protect plants. Uh, And it works,

1997
01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:19.079
<v Speaker 2>it works really well. All right, Well, you are listening

1998
01:43:19.159 --> 01:43:20.720
<v Speaker 2>to Guarden Line, and I'm about to take a little

1999
01:43:20.720 --> 01:43:24.079
<v Speaker 2>break here we come back. We got one more second segment, folks,

<v Speaker 2>and talk to Jay. Hey, Jay, welcome to Garden Line.

2010
01:43:58.920 --> 01:44:04.720
<v Speaker 7>Hello, Skip, Hey Jay, Yeah, he yes, Skip. I have

2011
01:44:04.800 --> 01:44:10.319
<v Speaker 7>a garden over here, and I've planted some broccoli. They

2012
01:44:10.359 --> 01:44:13.760
<v Speaker 7>were came up, beautiful plants. All of a sudden, I've

2013
01:44:13.760 --> 01:44:17.600
<v Speaker 7>got these small caterpillars that are attacking the leaves of

2014
01:44:17.640 --> 01:44:23.039
<v Speaker 7>the broncotic plants. And I've had a problem with.

2015
01:44:25.520 --> 01:44:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, oh, go ahead and finish.

2016
01:44:30.239 --> 01:44:34.159
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I had a problem with webworms in some of

2017
01:44:34.159 --> 01:44:39.279
<v Speaker 7>the trees around the garden. And I'm just wondering if

2018
01:44:39.119 --> 01:44:41.479
<v Speaker 7>it's kind of the same stuff.

2019
01:44:42.760 --> 01:44:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Now it's a different one. Have you looked at these

2020
01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:46.079
<v Speaker 2>caterpillars closely?

2021
01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:48.000
<v Speaker 10>Yes?

2022
01:44:49.680 --> 01:44:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Are they kind of a yeah? Are they kind of

2023
01:44:53.319 --> 01:44:55.560
<v Speaker 2>a light green color? Or are they? Do they have

2024
01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:57.640
<v Speaker 2>black and white stripes across their back?

2025
01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:05.319
<v Speaker 7>I think I have two kinds that I see. I

2026
01:45:05.359 --> 01:45:09.399
<v Speaker 7>have some that are it's they're very small and almost

2027
01:45:09.520 --> 01:45:13.039
<v Speaker 7>kind of a white color. I mean it's not a

2028
01:45:13.159 --> 01:45:15.439
<v Speaker 7>dark color. But then I have the dark ones like

2029
01:45:15.520 --> 01:45:18.239
<v Speaker 7>you just described. I do have some of those.

2030
01:45:19.560 --> 01:45:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, if it's on broccoli, you have two good options

2031
01:45:22.880 --> 01:45:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that are low tox. One of them is BT BAZ

2032
01:45:26.039 --> 01:45:29.840
<v Speaker 2>and boy teas in tom those sprays. When caterpillars eat

2033
01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:33.000
<v Speaker 2>leaves that have been sprayed with BT, they get sick.

2034
01:45:33.279 --> 01:45:35.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a disease of caterpillars. It only affects them. Doesn't

2035
01:45:35.960 --> 01:45:38.600
<v Speaker 2>affect grasshoppers and beetles and other things that eat leaves,

2036
01:45:38.600 --> 01:45:41.920
<v Speaker 2>just caterpillars. But BT lasts about a day or two

2037
01:45:42.119 --> 01:45:43.960
<v Speaker 2>in the environment, and you have to respray it. If

2038
01:45:43.960 --> 01:45:46.800
<v Speaker 2>you're on broccoli, you know how water balls up and

2039
01:45:46.880 --> 01:45:49.800
<v Speaker 2>runs off the leaves of the cold crops like broccoli.

2040
01:45:50.319 --> 01:45:51.600
<v Speaker 2>You're going to need to put a little bit of

2041
01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:54.079
<v Speaker 2>soap in the spray to make it stick a little bit.

2042
01:45:54.079 --> 01:45:57.199
<v Speaker 2>It's called a surfactant. You can buy surfactant where you

2043
01:45:57.239 --> 01:46:01.199
<v Speaker 2>buy pesticides like BT or you can you know, put

2044
01:46:01.199 --> 01:46:03.239
<v Speaker 2>a couple of drops the dish soap in there, but

2045
01:46:03.279 --> 01:46:05.640
<v Speaker 2>it's better to buy a surfactor to do it. But

2046
01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:07.880
<v Speaker 2>that'll make it stick because you need it to stick

2047
01:46:07.920 --> 01:46:10.319
<v Speaker 2>because you when the caterpillar feeds, you want them to

2048
01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:12.880
<v Speaker 2>eat it. And I if you can spray upward from

2049
01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:15.880
<v Speaker 2>under the planet's better because those young, young caterpillars usually

2050
01:46:15.960 --> 01:46:19.079
<v Speaker 2>start under the leaves when they're real small, and then

2051
01:46:19.079 --> 01:46:21.800
<v Speaker 2>they eventually are eating the whole leaf, top and bottom.

2052
01:46:22.199 --> 01:46:27.119
<v Speaker 2>But the other object is spin spin no said s

2053
01:46:27.159 --> 01:46:32.039
<v Speaker 2>p I N O S A D. There's several brands

2054
01:46:32.039 --> 01:46:35.960
<v Speaker 2>of spin no SID and that also kills caterpillars naturally.

2055
01:46:38.039 --> 01:46:41.960
<v Speaker 7>Uh so I saw exactly what you were saying. I sprayed,

2056
01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:45.920
<v Speaker 7>but it didn't stick. So I need to add this affect.

2057
01:46:45.760 --> 01:46:48.640
<v Speaker 2>To it, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. On the on on

2058
01:46:48.720 --> 01:46:50.640
<v Speaker 2>broad cauliflower kill.

2059
01:46:51.920 --> 01:46:56.479
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, so I have a question the ones that

2060
01:46:56.479 --> 01:46:59.119
<v Speaker 7>that the leaves have been eaten on will will they

2061
01:46:59.359 --> 01:47:02.439
<v Speaker 7>eventually form the broccoli buds.

2062
01:47:04.279 --> 01:47:08.479
<v Speaker 2>It's a percentage game, Jay, like if you lost ninety

2063
01:47:08.520 --> 01:47:10.279
<v Speaker 2>percent of the leaves, they're not going to have the

2064
01:47:10.439 --> 01:47:13.920
<v Speaker 2>energy to really produce a good broccoli head. If you

2065
01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:16.600
<v Speaker 2>just lost maybe thirty percent, you'll still get a good

2066
01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:19.479
<v Speaker 2>broccoli head. So you know it's a percentage game in there.

2067
01:47:20.920 --> 01:47:25.000
<v Speaker 7>Okay, all right, well, hey Thanty very much. I appreciate it.

2068
01:47:25.239 --> 01:47:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Yep, you bet appreciate that. Thanks for the call. Oh

2069
01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:32.520
<v Speaker 2>let's head back to the phones and we're going to

2070
01:47:32.560 --> 01:47:35.239
<v Speaker 2>talk to Mary. Hello, Mary, welcome to garden Line.

2071
01:47:36.439 --> 01:47:36.960
<v Speaker 20>Hi trip.

2072
01:47:37.600 --> 01:47:40.520
<v Speaker 21>Excuse me, skip, I'm sorry, good to talk to you.

2073
01:47:40.600 --> 01:47:43.840
<v Speaker 21>I really enjoy your show every week. I have a question.

2074
01:47:44.640 --> 01:47:45.119
<v Speaker 21>I bought it.

2075
01:47:48.079 --> 01:47:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I lost Mary. Mary, call back. We

2076
01:47:53.439 --> 01:47:55.439
<v Speaker 2>will get you worked in here. If you can call quick,

2077
01:47:55.880 --> 01:47:58.960
<v Speaker 2>call back quickly, we'll get you back in I think

2078
01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I pushed a wrong button there. That's impersonal, that's for sure.

2079
01:48:03.880 --> 01:48:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Well let me just while we're waiting, see we got

2080
01:48:06.920 --> 01:48:09.520
<v Speaker 2>another call just about out of time. Looks like Mary's

2081
01:48:09.560 --> 01:48:13.279
<v Speaker 2>calling back. I do want to remind you that this

2082
01:48:13.359 --> 01:48:16.920
<v Speaker 2>week is what I'm calling final call on getting those

2083
01:48:16.920 --> 01:48:18.880
<v Speaker 2>things done in your lawn. Now, Yegg, you can do

2084
01:48:18.920 --> 01:48:20.399
<v Speaker 2>them next week and do them the week after that,

2085
01:48:20.960 --> 01:48:23.239
<v Speaker 2>but the sooner you do it the better. So don't

2086
01:48:23.279 --> 01:48:25.520
<v Speaker 2>put the lawn care things off, all the things we've

2087
01:48:25.560 --> 01:48:28.039
<v Speaker 2>been talking about this morning, don't put that off another day.

2088
01:48:28.560 --> 01:48:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead and get it done this week. If you're

2089
01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:34.880
<v Speaker 2>going to do fall planting, we are in prime season

2090
01:48:34.920 --> 01:48:37.960
<v Speaker 2>for getting that done. Get it done, whether it's shrubs

2091
01:48:38.039 --> 01:48:40.640
<v Speaker 2>or trees, which you absolutely can't find a better time

2092
01:48:40.680 --> 01:48:43.479
<v Speaker 2>than fall, and then winter is right next to it

2093
01:48:43.479 --> 01:48:46.760
<v Speaker 2>in terms of good time to plant. Get it done.

2094
01:48:46.880 --> 01:48:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's get it done. You're gonna get the advantages of it.

2095
01:48:49.880 --> 01:48:52.399
<v Speaker 2>I know that things get I get busy. You know,

2096
01:48:52.399 --> 01:48:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I've got plants at pots and outside waiting for me

2097
01:48:54.439 --> 01:48:56.119
<v Speaker 2>to get off the radio for crying out loud and

2098
01:48:56.199 --> 01:49:00.439
<v Speaker 2>come plant them. But make it a priority this week

2099
01:49:00.479 --> 01:49:02.239
<v Speaker 2>to get those things planted. If you want to put

2100
01:49:02.239 --> 01:49:05.720
<v Speaker 2>in perennials like salvias and ornamental grasses, and perennial herbs

2101
01:49:05.760 --> 01:49:09.119
<v Speaker 2>like a regano and rosemary and whatnot, get those in now.

2102
01:49:09.319 --> 01:49:11.760
<v Speaker 2>You will be so far ahead when it comes to

2103
01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:15.199
<v Speaker 2>next spring. And when the heat arrives, those plants you

2104
01:49:15.279 --> 01:49:18.640
<v Speaker 2>planted now will take on the summer much much better.

2105
01:49:18.760 --> 01:49:20.800
<v Speaker 2>They just have a better system.

2106
01:49:20.840 --> 01:49:21.399
<v Speaker 10>At that point.

2107
01:49:21.720 --> 01:49:24.239
<v Speaker 2>We're going to go back to Mary now, Mary, Sorry,

2108
01:49:24.359 --> 01:49:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I actually I think hung up on you by pushing

2109
01:49:26.560 --> 01:49:29.640
<v Speaker 2>the wrong but oh that's okay, not a problem. I

2110
01:49:29.640 --> 01:49:31.960
<v Speaker 2>thought it was my fault. I'm upside right now.

2111
01:49:33.000 --> 01:49:35.800
<v Speaker 21>The reason I'm calling is because i bought a house

2112
01:49:35.800 --> 01:49:38.880
<v Speaker 21>in Ramsas Pass and I'm not used to that type

2113
01:49:38.920 --> 01:49:42.439
<v Speaker 21>of sand soil over there. So I just I just

2114
01:49:42.600 --> 01:49:45.399
<v Speaker 21>know just from experience that I probably need to compost

2115
01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:48.920
<v Speaker 21>quite a bit. Is there anything else I can do

2116
01:49:49.199 --> 01:49:54.680
<v Speaker 21>to supplement the soil? There is a lot of Saint

2117
01:49:54.680 --> 01:49:57.640
<v Speaker 21>Augustine grass, but there are also a lot of the

2118
01:49:57.680 --> 01:50:00.479
<v Speaker 21>birds or whatever you call those little stickers out there,

2119
01:50:01.520 --> 01:50:04.800
<v Speaker 21>so graspers, yes, and I'm trying to eliminate those as

2120
01:50:04.880 --> 01:50:07.960
<v Speaker 21>much as I can. I'm very fortunate that I have

2121
01:50:08.000 --> 01:50:10.079
<v Speaker 21>well water that I can use, and I can water

2122
01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:12.840
<v Speaker 21>often without having a large cost.

2123
01:50:14.039 --> 01:50:16.239
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's do this quick. What you're going to

2124
01:50:16.319 --> 01:50:20.279
<v Speaker 2>do is the grasspers you need to put down barricade,

2125
01:50:20.399 --> 01:50:22.279
<v Speaker 2>and I would do it in that area. I would

2126
01:50:22.279 --> 01:50:24.920
<v Speaker 2>do it in early February. I'd put out the barricade

2127
01:50:24.960 --> 01:50:28.039
<v Speaker 2>I've watered in and it will stop the grasspurs. You're

2128
01:50:28.039 --> 01:50:32.199
<v Speaker 2>going to want to repeat that barricade about sixty days later,

2129
01:50:33.479 --> 01:50:35.760
<v Speaker 2>put it down again and watered in because graspers will

2130
01:50:35.840 --> 01:50:38.760
<v Speaker 2>keep germinating in the summer and the barricade doesn't last forever.

2131
01:50:38.880 --> 01:50:41.520
<v Speaker 2>So that's the answer to that. As far as those soils,

2132
01:50:41.680 --> 01:50:46.119
<v Speaker 2>organic matter, organic matter, organic matter, find bed mixes, find

2133
01:50:46.159 --> 01:50:50.319
<v Speaker 2>compost decomposed, you know, mulches that have been rotted down

2134
01:50:50.319 --> 01:50:53.399
<v Speaker 2>and ground down into a good quality product. Anytime you

2135
01:50:53.399 --> 01:50:55.640
<v Speaker 2>can improve the soil is a good idea. And just

2136
01:50:55.680 --> 01:50:58.079
<v Speaker 2>remember and sand, you water more often, but you don't

2137
01:50:58.079 --> 01:51:00.439
<v Speaker 2>have the water as much because water goes down through

2138
01:51:00.439 --> 01:51:02.840
<v Speaker 2>a sand much faster than it will through a clay.

2139
01:51:03.439 --> 01:51:06.119
<v Speaker 2>And as far as fertilizing, you want to fertilize in

2140
01:51:06.159 --> 01:51:09.279
<v Speaker 2>small doses or use a slow release product because also

2141
01:51:09.439 --> 01:51:12.680
<v Speaker 2>nutrients wash out of a sand more readily. So it's

2142
01:51:12.760 --> 01:51:15.399
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a smaller doses along the way to

2143
01:51:15.479 --> 01:51:18.520
<v Speaker 2>keep them wet and to keep them fed. Okay, I

2144
01:51:18.520 --> 01:51:19.199
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that.

2145
01:51:19.279 --> 01:51:20.039
<v Speaker 21>Thank you so much.

2146
01:51:20.159 --> 01:51:22.560
<v Speaker 2>You have a great thank you. Yeah, I think thanks

2147
01:51:22.600 --> 01:51:23.960
<v Speaker 2>to the call. I have a good time down there

2148
01:51:23.960 --> 01:51:26.239
<v Speaker 2>at the beach. We're gonna go to Crosby now for

2149
01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:28.960
<v Speaker 2>our final call of the day. Gerald, Let's see how

2150
01:51:28.960 --> 01:51:29.600
<v Speaker 2>we can help.

2151
01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:33.760
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, I bought a bag of this pre emerging stuff.

2152
01:51:34.960 --> 01:51:38.159
<v Speaker 20>And is it okay to put it down now or

2153
01:51:38.199 --> 01:51:39.399
<v Speaker 20>is it too late to put it down?

2154
01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:43.359
<v Speaker 2>It's not too late, but don't delay another day. Get

2155
01:51:43.399 --> 01:51:46.520
<v Speaker 2>it out there. With the rain that came through some

2156
01:51:46.600 --> 01:51:49.279
<v Speaker 2>of the area, we're gonna have weed seeds germinating. And

2157
01:51:49.359 --> 01:51:51.760
<v Speaker 2>you got to you want to apply it and immediately

2158
01:51:51.800 --> 01:51:54.199
<v Speaker 2>water it in, because it doesn't do anything until you

2159
01:51:54.319 --> 01:51:56.159
<v Speaker 2>wash it into the soil with about a half inch.

2160
01:51:56.000 --> 01:52:00.399
<v Speaker 20>Of water, Okay, And then and I also put some fertilize.

2161
01:52:00.239 --> 01:52:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Down with it. Absolutely, put both the ball fertilizer and

2162
01:52:05.399 --> 01:52:08.039
<v Speaker 2>the pre emergent down, uh, and then water them in

2163
01:52:08.199 --> 01:52:11.119
<v Speaker 2>really well. And and that will set you up for

2164
01:52:11.119 --> 01:52:12.159
<v Speaker 2>for success with that.

2165
01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:12.520
<v Speaker 10>You know.

2166
01:52:12.600 --> 01:52:13.720
<v Speaker 2>That's a good idea, all right?

2167
01:52:14.399 --> 01:52:16.880
<v Speaker 20>Okay, Well that's what I needed to know. I figured

2168
01:52:16.920 --> 01:52:18.600
<v Speaker 20>I could put it down with all this rain we're

2169
01:52:18.600 --> 01:52:20.119
<v Speaker 20>getting and so.

2170
01:52:20.720 --> 01:52:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, And and it wasn't it a good

2171
01:52:23.840 --> 01:52:26.279
<v Speaker 2>idea to get some rain. We have had a heck

2172
01:52:26.359 --> 01:52:29.319
<v Speaker 2>of a dry fall that we sure could have used

2173
01:52:29.359 --> 01:52:31.720
<v Speaker 2>some rain on. So we're all glad to have. By

2174
01:52:31.760 --> 01:52:34.039
<v Speaker 2>the way, you're out there in Crosby, you know you've

2175
01:52:34.079 --> 01:52:37.199
<v Speaker 2>got Crosby as hardware down there on Main Street, and

2176
01:52:37.239 --> 01:52:40.000
<v Speaker 2>they're going to carry these fertilizers and barricades and things

2177
01:52:40.039 --> 01:52:43.039
<v Speaker 2>like that, those products right there. So just a tip

2178
01:52:43.119 --> 01:52:46.479
<v Speaker 2>if you if you are looking for one.

2179
01:52:47.479 --> 01:52:50.680
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, well they had it, but I also try to

2180
01:52:50.680 --> 01:52:56.119
<v Speaker 20>get that Celsie's from them. They didn't have, so that's that's.

2181
01:52:55.920 --> 01:52:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Harder to Yeah, that's harder to find. And if what

2182
01:52:59.800 --> 01:53:05.560
<v Speaker 2>are the weeds you're going after with celsius, that Virginia

2183
01:53:05.600 --> 01:53:12.239
<v Speaker 2>button weed, well as a as a backup for that

2184
01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Celsi sadn't the only thing. They'll kill it. But if

2185
01:53:14.399 --> 01:53:17.880
<v Speaker 2>you have a bone eighted weed beater ultra if they can,

2186
01:53:18.039 --> 01:53:21.199
<v Speaker 2>if they have that, I would use that furt loan.

2187
01:53:21.640 --> 01:53:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to remember the Ferd loan. It's got both

2188
01:53:24.199 --> 01:53:27.880
<v Speaker 2>have a product called Carfentra zone in them and that's

2189
01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:30.720
