WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.200 Welcome to Katie r h. Garden Line with Skip Richards. 2 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:28.160 Just watch him as so many breathings to seep byways. 3 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:29.960 Not a sum. 4 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:36.320 Sun beamon. 5 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.520 Alrighty, here we go, ready for another day, Ready for 6 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.960 another day out in the garden. You're listening to the 7 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.560 garden Line. I'm your host, Skip Richter, and we're here 8 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.960 to help you have a more bountiful garden and a 9 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.840 more beautiful landscape. That's what this is all about. And 10 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.119 it's not that hard. I like, I often like to say, 11 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.519 you don't have a brown thumb. There's no such thing 12 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.480 as a brown thumb. You have an uninformed thumb, and 13 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.840 we'll try to inform it today. How about that if 14 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:11.680 you'd like to give us a call to get a 15 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.040 little information for your thumb. Seven to one three two 16 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.159 one two k t r H seven one three two 17 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.920 one two k t r H. Well, first of all, 18 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.719 I just want to start off and say thank you 19 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.760 to the folks side at Nature's Way yesterday. We had 20 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.760 a great time out there. Thanks for everybody that came 21 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.120 out too. I think, uh it was uh think I 22 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.319 had a great time. We had a lot of different 23 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.599 questions about a lot of different things. And we just 24 00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.319 kind of covered the whole gimmut. Nice prizes for folks 25 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.480 that came out and registered to win. So thanks again, 26 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.439 Nature's Way, we had a good time. By the way, 27 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.519 Nature's Way every Friday still has their Fungal Friday, which 28 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.519 means twenty percent off their fungal compost to give away 29 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:01.159 four bags of the fine textured screen fungal compost. I 30 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.200 mean that stuff is just black gold. You can use 31 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.599 it for top dressing a lawn, It's excellent for that. 32 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.840 You can use it in pretty much in anything. It's 33 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.319 such a high quality compost. It's so finely screened. You 34 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.120 can mix it into some potting soil to kind of 35 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.039 give it a little boost. You could put it into 36 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.919 the soil and beds, garden beds, I mean, an excellent 37 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.120 way to use it. Mix it in a little bit. 38 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.840 You know, whenever you do that, you're just moving nature 39 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.560 forward faster. That's what it amounts to. In Nature's Way 40 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.919 has quality quality resources of all types. Do you need mulches, 41 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.319 you know, do you need certain types of bed mixes. 42 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.879 I could just go on and on. Lots of quality stuff, 43 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.400 you know, from vegetables for vegetables, for herbs for roses, 44 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.960 the soils, the composts, the mulches, everything you're gonna need, 45 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.759 absolutely Nature's Way resources. They're out there on the way 46 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.879 to Conra up forty five or fourteen eighty eight from 47 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.639 Magnolia comes in from your left. You just turn right 48 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.400 over the railroad tracks, turn right on Surbridge Circle and 49 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.199 it's it's right there. Makes it makes it so easy 50 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.000 to get to Nature's Way. If you'd like to give 51 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.360 them a call, the phone number is nine three six 52 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.800 seven or two seven three one two zero zero nine 53 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:23.599 three six two seven three one two zero zero. Out 54 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.599 of Nature's Way, I said, Nature's Way moves nature forward. 55 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.039 And to you what I mean by that out in 56 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.439 the natural system, and we talked about this a group 57 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.439 that was out there when I went out to Nature's Way. 58 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.000 Out in the natural system, nature drops leaves on the ground, 59 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.840 and those leaves slowly decompose in time, and earthworms come 60 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.680 up and they make channels through the soil and they 61 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.039 literally take a leaf, sort of wrap it up and 62 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.879 bring it back down in the hole. So they take 63 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.240 organic matter underground. Plus there are roots that are growing 64 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.599 and dying in the soil over time, adding to the 65 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.879 soil organic content. They're also opening up the soil as 66 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.039 they push a little channel through to grow. And over time, 67 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.240 you know, you do that for one hundred years and 68 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.960 you really built some soil, it makes a big difference. 69 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.920 It just gets richer and richer and richer. Well, so 70 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.560 you move into your property wherever you live, and you 71 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.839 got let's say you just have a heavy clay soil 72 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.279 and it's just you know, just not good for growing things. Well, 73 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.839 you can go in and overnight you can do what 74 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.040 takes nature one hundred years to do by getting products 75 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.279 in places like Nature's Way, for example, you put those 76 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.639 products that are quality. Don't buy cheap stuff. There are 77 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.399 places out there that sell products that are just not 78 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:51.920 They're not made with the time and the technique that 79 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.160 is required to create the best types of products for you. 80 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.199 But you put that good quality product down and you 81 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.399 could be gardening tomorrow. Someone who's asking me about growing 82 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.879 azaleas and they have a heavy clay soil, and I said, 83 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.160 they go, what do I need to amend the soil with? Well, 84 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.720 I wouldn't amend the soil. I mean I would a 85 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.519 little bit, put down some composts, mix it into the 86 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.839 top four inches or so in the clay, and then 87 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.399 get you a good bed mix and create a bed 88 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.759 essentially on top of the ground I'm mounted, you know, 89 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:25.240 bed and plant in that. And if that doesn't make sense, 90 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.560 here's a here's a kind of I think helpful way 91 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.759 to think about it. Look at it there, Look out 92 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.079 there where you want to put the azalea, Go out 93 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.160 and set it on the ground, and then bring in 94 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.800 a bed around it. Do you see what I'm saying 95 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.800 That the idea is the azalea is sitting on that 96 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.000 poorly drained soil above it, and the bed is all 97 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.639 around the azalea. Now, actually we don't do it that way. 98 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.959 We put the bed on the ground and plant the azalea. 99 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.680 But if you think of it that way, because in 100 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.800 the questions, you know, they kept asking, well, how do 101 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.120 I dig down and do this and that? And should 102 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.000 I excavate some soil? No, that just puts the azalia 103 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.720 down lower. Where it now is an excavated underground bathtub, 104 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.920 that hole water and those plants won't like that. So 105 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.759 whatever you're growing, whether it's an aziure or a vegetable 106 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.319 garden or a flower bet or whatever, just make sure 107 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.560 and take nature one hundred years forward quickly and create 108 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.800 that perfect environment. And you can do that. We have 109 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:27.279 great products for doing just that out on your lawns. 110 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.480 A couple of things we need to be thinking about 111 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.040 if you haven't done azimite this year. Azamite is a 112 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.399 micro nutrient supplement, micronutrient supplement, so you put it out 113 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.279 in very low quantities. Micronutrients are not needed in high quantities. 114 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.120 In fact, you get too much in an imbalance and 115 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.600 you can create problems. Just like with any nutrient asumite, 116 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.920 you put out a low amount. You know, a forty 117 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.360 four pound bag will cover six to twelve thousand square feet, 118 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.519 goes a long way in vegetable gardens. I'd say put 119 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.360 about ten pounds per thousand square feet. Ten pounds per 120 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.399 thousand in a vegetable garden. Mix it in and then 121 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.560 you have a bank account of those essential nutrients that 122 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.680 are needed in just small trace amounts, and your plants 123 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.360 are ready to go. It's not like you have to 124 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.399 do it all every month. I mean, once a year's 125 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.920 probably fine. If you want to do a soul test, 126 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.160 see where things stand, and make your fertilizing decisions based 127 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.959 on that that's also a good idea because everybody's yards 128 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.000 a little bit different. But as might works and you can. 129 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.480 You can find more information at Azmite Texas dot com 130 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:35.560 azimite Texas dot com. When you're out in the fall. 131 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.759 I talk to a number of people yesterday that we're 132 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.519 asking questions about fertilizing the lawn. I got a lot 133 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.600 of different lawn questions, and Nitrophs has made things really 134 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.199 easy by creating what they call their Texas three Step. 135 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.639 Now on the dance floor, you do the two step 136 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.079 right on a lawn, you dance the three step, and 137 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.639 the three steps are nitropos Fault Special. That's a win 138 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.199 a riser fertilizer designed for turf grass going into the 139 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.959 cool season. It makes them more cold hardy. It makes 140 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.480 sure turf come out stronger in the spring. Second step 141 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.240 Nidrivius barricade. That is a pre emergent herbicide. You put 142 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.240 it down and you water it in follow the label. 143 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.399 Watered in and it prevents the cool season weeds which 144 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.240 will be germinating soon from coming up. Once we get 145 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.319 a cold front through here, some cool rain coming down 146 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.560 those weed seeds. The temperature of the soil is right 147 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.839 and they take off, and you don't want to wait 148 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.200 until after they're up and growing. You want to get 149 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.320 them right at the beginning, or before they start. Nine 150 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.039 to FIUs eagles. The third step, that's a turf fungicide. 151 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.840 It soaks into the tissues of the grass plant. It 152 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.000 can even be taken up by the roots of the grass. 153 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.720 Eagle can. And then when brown patch arrives to make 154 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.360 those ugly brown circles in your lawn, there's something they're 155 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.159 stopping it. If you wait until the circles are there, 156 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.799 that means the leaves have already rotted off the runners 157 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.200 and you're going to have a brown circle until spring. 158 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.519 Do it beforehand. So now the three step I just 159 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.159 was as I was saying this, I was just thinking 160 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:08.559 about something. Actually, it's not necessarily in that order. In fact, 161 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.559 I would say the most important thing to do right 162 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.840 now is the barricade and the eagle turf, and the 163 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.600 fund the fertilizing. Yes, you can do it now. You 164 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.279 could do it in late September if you wanted to, 165 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.919 but you're not trying to get ahead of anything on 166 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.240 that fertilizing. You just want to get it done soon. 167 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.200 So the grass has plenty of time to take it 168 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.960 up for things cool off a lot. But the barricade 169 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.919 and the eagle turf fungicide. Like I use the baseball analogy, 170 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.279 you got to start swinging before the ball gets to 171 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.600 the plate, right when the when the pitcher lets go 172 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.480 of the ball, that batter had better be ready to 173 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.120 start that bat around or it'll be too late. It'll 174 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.440 already be in the catcher's myth. Well, let's just put 175 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.120 it this way. When it comes to weeds, when it 176 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.919 comes to diseases, the ball has already left the pitcher's hand. 177 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.879 It's time to swing. And that would be eagle tar 178 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.080 fungicide and nitrofuss barricade. And then of course get that 179 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.799 that third step on there. Now, can you put them 180 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.000 all on one day? Absolutely, don't put them in the 181 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.600 same hopper. Put out one, then put out the next one, 182 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:08.919 then put out the next one. Yes, you can put 183 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.960 them all in on one day and water them in 184 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.039 and that'll be just fine. Time for me to take 185 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.080 a little break. I'll be right back. Welcome back, folks, 186 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.559 Glad to have you back.

It is the least toxic 284 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.399 it is, and there's organic and synthetic versions of it both. 285 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.240 But is the best way to control fire ants, and 286 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.519 this is a season to do it now. You can 287 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.759 find it at all your ACE hardware stores. In fact, 288 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.039 ACE is going to have more than one brand of 289 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.480 fire ant bait, and they work. You always want to 290 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.559 use fresh bait. If you got some in the garage 291 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.559 from last year, just get rid of it, spread it out. 292 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.120 But it's not going to do any good. Get you 293 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.480 some fresh bait, or it won't. Depending on how old 294 00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.120 it is, it may not do much good. Get you 295 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.639 some fresh new bait.

No, and fireut bait goes bad, it 300 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.759 gets rancid and the ants aren't interested in it. Gets 301 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.600 you some fresh bait.

We don't want to let 367 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.319 the best planning season of the year get by without 368 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.200 us doing what we need to do to have success. 369 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.680 And it's not that hard, So just stay tuned. If 370 00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.440 you'd like to get on the board, give Chris A 371 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.799 calls one three two one two kt r H and 372 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.680 you can meet our first s up when we come back. Hey, 373 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.759 welcome back to Guardline folks. Good to have you with 374 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.000 us today. You know, I talk about microlife fertilizers a lot. 375 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.480 In fact, I was visiting with Mike Sarrant and some 376 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.559 of the team out there at Nature's Way yesterday. They 377 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:21.440 were also out there, and their goal is to provide 378 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:27.039 a fertilizer that is natural, that is loaded with microbes, 379 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.359 because microbes rule the world, and when it comes to plants, 380 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:36.440 microbes definitely rule the world because your plants have symbiotic 381 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:41.200 relationships with microbes. Is that too much too fancy talk 382 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.279 on this hour of the morning. Basically, what it means 383 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:46.839 is microbes work with the roots. They help the plants 384 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.599 take up nutrients, They help the plants fight against disease. 385 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.799 They coat the surfaces of plants to prevent the bad 386 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.119 guys from getting in and getting an infection done on 387 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.000 the plants. And that is why microlife brown Patch is made. 388 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.119 Microlife brown Patch has a little lower nitrogen, a little 389 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.200 bit higher phosphorus than their summer versions. The green bags 390 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:11.680 do the nitrofries. Micro life brown patch. I can't even 391 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:16.680 say words this morning. They basically are releasing those nutrients 392 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.920 as those materials decomposed. So you want to get them 393 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.880 down now in WATERMN. Get them in WATERMN. Splash that 394 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.079 stuff around with some water. Then you know, I would 395 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:28.720 recommend putting the microlife brown patch down and then following 396 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.759 up right away, go ahead and put down microbe grow 397 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:38.640 and bioenoculant. Sixty three different beneficial microbe strains, and you 398 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.359 know we can go through these. There's Bacillus subtlest, which 399 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.480 is an anti fungal strain. I'm very familiar with that 400 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.319 particular one. There is. There are strains of fungi in there, 401 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.039 Trachoderma that help fight root rots and diseases and whatnot. 402 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:57.400 There are well, hair's one speaking of long words for 403 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.720 early in the morning, basillis Amela likophacians. How's that? 404 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.359 Do you know? 405 00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.680 That that be sells that bacteria. It affects the plant 406 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.559 and causes the plant to become more disease resistant. The 407 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.880 plant changes the way it grows in response to that 408 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.920 fungus being right in that cool fungus bacteria being around. 409 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.720 That's all in micro grow inoculant. Sixty three different strains. 410 00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:20.440 Put out the brown patch, put out the micro grow inoculant. 411 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.240 Watermend really well. And when you do, you're given the 412 00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:27.400 soil the help that it needs. You're given the plants 413 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.799 the help that they need to have good health and 414 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.279 good success. That's what it's all about. Microlifefertilizer dot Com 415 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.039 is the website if you want to find out where 416 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:36.200 to get it, or I can just tell you this. 417 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:41.599 Feed stores, garden centers, ace hardware stores, Southwest Fertilize. All 418 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.160 those places carry Microlife. We can go out to the 419 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.519 phones now and head to Katie and talk to Joseph. 420 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:51.319 Good morning, Joseph, Good morning. How are you doing today. 421 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.559 I'm well, sir, I'm well, Thank you. Good So. 422 00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.720 I'm noticing and it's probably because of the time of 423 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.839 the year that my grass is starting to turn brown, 424 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.839 and I guess that means that it's starting to go 425 00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:10.839 to sleep for the for the winner. If that's the case, 426 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.880 should I reduce the amount of times. 427 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:18.359 I'm watering per week? Or should I stop watering altogether? 428 00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:23.480 Not altogether, because we're still in the nineties. If you 429 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:28.240 go to my website Gardening with skip dot com and 430 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:33.039 you download my lawn care schedule. It's a multicolored chart 431 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:38.960 from January to December. The blue row across is for watering. 432 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.720 And if you look at that, I've put the historic 433 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:44.720 average amount of water per week a lawn needs in 434 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.160 the Greater Houston area. So for October, we're down to 435 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.519 one half inch a week that's being used by a lawn. 436 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:54.880 Now that's in the absence of rain. So let's say 437 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:57.200 this week we got an inch of rain, then next 438 00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:59.119 week you would you wouldn't need to water because it's 439 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.440 not all gone by the end of the week. But 440 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.279 we're cutting it down to half an inch in October 441 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:11.039 and November, and then December and January. We essentially in February, 442 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:13.880 we essentially aren't watering unless we just go through an 443 00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:17.839 extended drought and some unusually warm, cool winter temperatures. 444 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.519 Okay, all right, well, thank you very much for that. 445 00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:23.720 I appreciate it, you bet. And it's all free there, 446 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:25.920 you can download it. It's got the fertilizers, it's got 447 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.480 information on air raiding and mowing and whatnot, both organic 448 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.920 and synthetic products on there. 449 00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:36.759 Thanks Joseph, appreciate your call. You you have a good Sunday. Yep, 450 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:39.359 that schedule's there. I keep telling you guys about the schedule. 451 00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.759 And every time I go out and do an appearance 452 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.480 and visit with people, I'm surprised how many people like, No, 453 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:46.880 you have a website. Gosh, I only talk about it 454 00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:51.039 eight hundred times a day on garden Line. And it's free. 455 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:54.319 It's free. How can you can't talk me down on 456 00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.240 that price? Everything on the website right now is free. 457 00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:01.680 Let's see. I wanted to talk about RCW. I mentioned 458 00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:04.480 this yesterday, but fall is the best time to plant 459 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.720 woody ornamentals. Period period period. You put a shrub in 460 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:13.559 the ground October November and it has months before it 461 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:17.279 gets hot again next next May or June. And so 462 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:20.119 if you do it now that it's going to survive better. 463 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.880 It just makes sense and it's going to do better. 464 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:24.440 It's not just a matter does it live or die. 465 00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:27.039 It's a matter of how does it perform? And so 466 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.599 plant them now. RCW Nursery's got some really good deals 467 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:34.240 going on. They right now. They as a matter of fact, 468 00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:39.279 have a discount on shrubs that is very significant, very impressive. 469 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:43.640 If you go to the RCW Nurseries. Follow them on Facebook. 470 00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:45.720 That's a great way to do it. They got a website, 471 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.839 RCW Nursery dot Com. I like to follow them on 472 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:50.680 Facebook because it's it's kind of like what's going on 473 00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.240 right now out there, you know. They got the vegetables 474 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:57.119 and stuff. They've got beautiful southern magnolia's out there. They 475 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:01.640 have some beautiful burrows, lace bark elms, for example, that 476 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:03.960 are ready to go. They also, by the way, this 477 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:06.079 isn't a shade tree, but they've got citrus in with 478 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.440 fruit on it, and it looks really, really really good. 479 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.319 Beautiful cherry laurels. That's a native Southeastern native plant that 480 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.680 is evergreen and really looks good. So go out there 481 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.839 and take advantage of that. You will find a lot 482 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.000 of good prices right now shrubs right now twenty percent 483 00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:28.920 off at RCW Nurseries, including for those deep shaded areas 484 00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:32.559 things like the gold dust to Cuba.

The Quality Home is known for 572 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.359 Quality t X dot com. Let's go out to Matt 573 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:06.599 in the Woodlands. Hey, Matt, welcome to Gardenline. 574 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:13.119 Hey, thanks Skid, good morning. The question is about a 575 00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:16.000 couple of blueberry bushes that I pointed in the summer 576 00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:22.119 in a sunny spot in my backyard and as the 577 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.480 seasons change, it's not getting the sunlight that it used to, 578 00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.319 and I was just wondering what your definition of full 579 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:32.839 sun for blueberries would be ideal. 580 00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.480 Yeah, if you could, if you could give blueberries six hours, 581 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:40.559 that would be adequate. If it is a little less, 582 00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:44.400 they will grow there. The production starts to go down 583 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.839 as you get less and less and less light. So 584 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:49.880 it's not there's not a black and white line there, 585 00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.799 but six hours a good direct sun would I would 586 00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:58.319 aim for that, and more is better, of course, but that, yeah, 587 00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:00.359 that would be kind of a rough guess. 588 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:04.759 Okay, So it's it's about four hours with full SOGN 589 00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.759 and two hours of the sun shake nix and that that'll. 590 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:12.319 Work, okay for this time. You'll get some berries out 591 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.640 of that. You'll get some berries. Yeah, that's for sure. Great, 592 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:22.559 Thank you, thanks for the call, man, I appreciate that. Alright. Yeah, 593 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:26.400 it's a you know, in let me just put it 594 00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:29.680 this way. In nature, there's not a lot of black 595 00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:33.200 and white lines. They just aren't. And we have to 596 00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.359 give our best estimate, you know. I tell you, well, 597 00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.000 you need to use a fertilizer with a four one 598 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.400 two or three one two ratio of nutrients. And that's 599 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.039 a that is a very good general guide for vast 600 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:48.759 majority of situations. But everything can be a little different. 601 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.519 And and like we say, well to grow tomato, you 602 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.759 need les six hours of sign that's another one these 603 00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.000 six hours of sign but you know, if you get 604 00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:59.559 five hours and fifty nine minutes, it's not a problem. 605 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.240 But the tomato would like to have more than six. 606 00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.000 But I see that a lot in nature. It's just 607 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:10.160 you know, it's a it's a percentage game kind of thing. 608 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.920 So you know, we try to give you black and 609 00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.359 white answers to make it simple. But just remember that 610 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.079 it's gray and fuzzy around the edges, that is for sure. 611 00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:23.839 That's how that works. Now is the time, by the way, 612 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:26.079 I'm talking about fault fertilizing. But I'll tell you now 613 00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:27.960 it would be a great time to get your lawn 614 00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:33.799 airer rated aeration, the proper aeration. Unlike a lot of 615 00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:38.079 little rental aerator units, a good aerator pops plugs of 616 00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.680 dirt out of the ground and drops them on the surface, 617 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.759 creating a hole. Doesn't just squeeze a hole open into 618 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:48.160 the soil. It pops out a plug, leaves it on 619 00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:51.960 the surface, and then they follow with a compost top dressing, 620 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.759 or they should of high quality, very fine texture composts, 621 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:57.960 and you know, not pieces of wood. The lawnmar is 622 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:02.119 going to knock everywhere. Grain par has got the equipment 623 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.240 and the products to do just that and Greenpro Services 624 00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:09.239 basically a forty five mile from Magnolia area. So let 625 00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:11.920 me make it simple. It's basically the northwest quadront of 626 00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:16.159 Houston with Interstate forty five and Interstate ten being the 627 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.360 two lines. And so if you are up in Magnolia 628 00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.239 of course, if you're in Spring or Cypress or the 629 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:25.639 Woodlands or Conroe up that way, if you are north 630 00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:29.679 and a little to the west like magnoliaan in Montgomery, 631 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:33.239 or if you're down Ti tan Katie, West Houston, Central Houston, 632 00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:37.039 you know, just northwest area. That's their area. Now they 633 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:41.320 do a free listen to this. They will aerate your 634 00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:45.679 lawn for free if you purchase a compost top dressing service, 635 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:47.679 so they'll come in and do the aeration for free. 636 00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:51.000 Then they you put on the compost and you need 637 00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.559 to purchase at least two yards minimum of composts. And 638 00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:56.639 you're going to want to use that anyway, but you 639 00:34:56.679 --> 00:35:01.559 need two yards minimum for this free narration deal. Prices 640 00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:05.519 start at five seventy five plus tax. It's a very 641 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:10.599 special quality equipment that does it right, not near the 642 00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:13.039 mess of a do it yourself thing on aeration in 643 00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.719 compost top dressing, that's for sure, and quality compost is 644 00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:18.880 bulky to haul around, so there is a charge for that. 645 00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:21.320 But I'm telling you, if you've got a loan that's 646 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.519 getting them that's struggling, especially with the clay soil and 647 00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:28.440 some compaction and issues like that, compost dot top dressing 648 00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.079 works wonders and I would recommend you give a call 649 00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.760 two eight one three five one forty seven thirty three 650 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:39.239 two eight one three five one four seven three three, 651 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:41.320 or go to the website. Go to the website and 652 00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:43.119 check this out. They got they have pictures of what 653 00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.000 they do on their video what they do on there. 654 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:51.079 It is greenpro dot net, greenpro dot net and the 655 00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:53.719 number one more time two eight one three five one 656 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:59.159 four seven three three. So you're listening to the Guardline instead. 657 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:00.599 I wanted to talk a little a little bit about 658 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.039 some of the fall planting tips. It is important when 659 00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.559 you put a plant in the ground that when you 660 00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:08.719 pull it out of that container. Now I'm talking about 661 00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:11.920 woody ornamentals here, not necessarily like a tomato plant so much, 662 00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:15.760 but or a broccoli plant, but a woody ornamental plant. 663 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:18.119 When you put those in the ground, trees and shrubs, 664 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:21.079 they're always going to have roots wrapping around the outside 665 00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.480 of the container because the root hits aside and has 666 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.320 to go somewhere, and it starts circling and it goes around. 667 00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:28.320 When you put a planet out of the ground, cut 668 00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:31.679 those roots. I know that's hard to do, but you 669 00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.760 need to do it because those roots are not going 670 00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:40.079 to unwind underground. And if it's a small enough container, 671 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:43.360 like let's say you have a gallon container and you've 672 00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.400 got a little spaghetti sized root going around the outside, Well, 673 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.880 in time, that spaghetti sized roots going to be the 674 00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.960 size of your wrist or your arm, and the trunk 675 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:55.159 is going to be, you know, getting even larger and 676 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:58.280 will long before they reach that size. The root will 677 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.639 now be wrapped around, strangling the trunk. And I've seen 678 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:05.320 so many situations where eight years down the line, ten 679 00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:09.880 years down the line, plants are struggling and it's all 680 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.039 because that wasn't done. If you cut the roots, here's 681 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.920 what will happen. That cut root will branch and start 682 00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:23.159 to grow out into the soil naturally, and normally that 683 00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:24.800 is what it does. Just like if you cut a 684 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.920 branch off on a tree, what happens when you cut 685 00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.159 a branch off, you get sprouts out the end of 686 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.800 that cut off branch, the takeoff growing roots. Do the 687 00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:34.599 same thing underground and for what on a mountains, just 688 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.599 do that. I've used you know, for bigger roots, I've 689 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:40.800 used handprinters, but basically a little box cutter knife, you know, 690 00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:43.800 a little one inch blade. Just slice vertically from top 691 00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.400 to bottom through that cylinder of roots that came out 692 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:50.039 of the pot in three or four places going around it. 693 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:52.960 It works, and it is very important to do that. 694 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.400 I would highly recommend you to do that. And that's 695 00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:58.719 just a tip for success with planting. Now we're planning 696 00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:03.000 during the fall season ideally, but anytime you need to 697 00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:04.519 cut the roots, go ahead and do it. Just water 698 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.599 a little extra as you're helping it get established. But 699 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:11.199 that is a tip to help you have success. Well, 700 00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:14.599 here we go. We've just put an hour in the books. Man, 701 00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:18.599 that went fast. Holy all right, Well, I'll be right back. 702 00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:20.719 We've got a lot more to talk about. I can't 703 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.320 wait to visit with you. Give us a call if 704 00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:25.320 you want to get ahead of the line.

I 712 00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:49.360 can't help you with that one, but pretty much everything else. 713 00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:51.480 What a cultural We'll be happy to visit it. 714 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:53.119 All right. 715 00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:56.280 I want to remind you next Saturday, I'm going to 716 00:38:56.320 --> 00:39:02.519 be at Enchanted Forest in Richmond Rosenberg area right in 717 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.320 Channet for US nursery.

The phone number you're gonna write this 797 00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:17.880 down two eight one three seven six sixteen forty six 798 00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:22.719 two eight one three seven six sixteen forty six. When 799 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.280 you go in right now, you're going to find a 800 00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:27.639 new shipment of strawberries that have lended out there. And 801 00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:30.599 the best time to plant strawberries is in the fall. 802 00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:33.559 This I almost say that again. The best time to 803 00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:37.079 plant strawberries is in the fall. And the reason for 804 00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:39.480 that is is it gives them all winter to get 805 00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:43.320 roots established and they will grow during our mild, warm 806 00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:46.239 winters here. Now, once we get to about February, you 807 00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:49.320 could even start having ballooms and berries depending on the temperature. 808 00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.280 If you get a little frosty night, just throw a 809 00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:53.960 cloth over them for the night. You're not protecting the plant, 810 00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:58.280 you're protecting the blooms. But I have grown strawberries in 811 00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:02.960 this area and I have had I've had berries in February, 812 00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:05.159 late February, early March already and they'll go all the 813 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.800 way into May. So it's a great plant to grow. 814 00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:10.079 But don't wait till spring to plant them. You will 815 00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:13.440 not have the same results. Get them now, Get them now, 816 00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:16.039 and they are stocked up there. Of course, they got 817 00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:18.639 a lot of other stuff. Plants for all seasons.

They're all good to go. And 821 00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:32.000 boy do they ever have plenty of different kinds of 822 00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:36.719 soils and blends and composts and mulches and whatnot. And 823 00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:38.599 you know, you got to go home with bags of 824 00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:41.000 brown stuff if you're going to go home with something green, 825 00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:43.599 because you've got to prepare that foundation.

We've got plenty of things we 867 00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.719 can talk about. That is for sure. It is time 868 00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.239 to do your fall fertilization. I'm gonna say it again, 869 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:13.400 it is time to do your fall fertilization. We are 870 00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:16.679 in the big middle of October, and October is a 871 00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:19.519 big month to get that done. Nit Fross has made 872 00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:21.920 it easy because they have a three step program. You're 873 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:23.679 going to dance a two step on the dance floor 874 00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:25.639 and the three step on the lawn. And here's how 875 00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:30.440 the three step goes. You have Nitrofoss Fall special fertilizer 876 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:33.480 designed for fall. It's called a winteriser because it's helped 877 00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:37.239 it's made to help these plants, the grass plants get 878 00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:41.199 ready we say hardened off, meaning they're ready for cold weather. 879 00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:45.239 They've got good carbohydrate reserves. That's like nafreeze in the plant. 880 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:49.639 Nitrofoss fall special does that. It also helps a plant 881 00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.360 come out stronger in spring. Two. By the way, nite 882 00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.000 frous barricade is a second step barricade is a pre 883 00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:58.199 emergent herbicide. You put it down, You have to water 884 00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:00.679 it in because it needs to get war washed down 885 00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:03.280 into the soil surface where it sticks to the soil, 886 00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:05.400 and when a weed seed tries to come through it 887 00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:07.960 said no, no, no, no, no, not in this lawn. 888 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:12.599 You're not. The third step nitrophius eagle eagle turf fungicide. 889 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.159 You put it down, you water it in. The plant 890 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:17.239 can take it up even through the roots, and it 891 00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:21.800 goes in systemically. And now that plant has this product 892 00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:24.800 inside of it that is fighting against diseases, kind of 893 00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:27.559 like when you take an antibiotic, you've got it in you, 894 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.360 and the diseases that may be in you trying to infact, 895 00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:33.440 you know, cause problems, the antibiotic is fighting them. That's 896 00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:36.760 how Nitroposus egle tour fungicide works in the plant. It 897 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.440 moves inside and It says no to the brown patch 898 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:42.800 and to the take all root rot that do occur 899 00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:48.960 in the fall. Very important to get these down asaph. 900 00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:51.599 The earlier in October we do it the better, because 901 00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:53.719 you never know, here comes a colfront and a little 902 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:56.559 bit of rain, and the chickweed and hen bet and 903 00:48:56.719 --> 00:48:59.880 clover and carpet weed and cleavers and all the other 904 00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:03.440 or cool season weeds begin to sprout, and we want 905 00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:05.559 to get the barrigate down ahead of them. The brown 906 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:07.840 patch begins to show up, and we want to get 907 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:11.639 the eagle down ahead of it. Three products, three steps 908 00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:16.840 fall special fertilizer, barricade, pre emergent eagle fundside. You're going 909 00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:20.679 to find nitrofoss products at enchanted gardens down in Richmond, 910 00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.159 Shades of Texas up in the woodlands, plans for all 911 00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:26.199 seasons on Tomball Parkway, D and D feed up in 912 00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.320 Tomball too, by the way, Plantation Ace Hardware down in 913 00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.159 Richmond are just all examples of places where you can 914 00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:40.039 find these nitrofoss products. Excuse me, something in my throat 915 00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:43.559 this morning. I'm not sure what that's about. You're listening 916 00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:45.960 to guard Line. I wanted to spend a little bit 917 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:48.159 of time talking about fruit trees this morning. You know, 918 00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:51.960 fruit trees can be planted at any time of the year. 919 00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:54.480 It used to be that we got all our fruit 920 00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:57.199 trees bear root, and so we planted them in late winter. 921 00:49:57.400 --> 00:49:59.800 That's when bear root is dug and shipped and sold. 922 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.840 Planted and typically January, maybe some February, depending on where 923 00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:07.920 you live. And bear root fruit trees are fine, you 924 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:11.159 can still do that. But container grown fruit trees, those 925 00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.679 are sold year around, and fall is a good time 926 00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:16.880 to plant them. Listen, fruit, it's not just enornamental. It's 927 00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:20.280 a fruiting plant. But the same things I've been saying 928 00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:24.039 about trees and shrubs, woody ornamentals apply to fruit trees 929 00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:28.199 and vines, ambushes, so grapes and blueberries for example, Yeah, 930 00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.400 all of that. If you plant them in the fall, 931 00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:32.840 they get a head start. If they have circling roots, 932 00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:34.719 you need to cut the roots on the outside, and that, 933 00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:38.679 by the way, that includes blueberries. Blueberries you won't see 934 00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:41.320 the big circling roots like you do on other fruit. 935 00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:45.280 But it's a hair like matted root system and it 936 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.159 benefits from slicing through those outer roots with a bock 937 00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:51.360 cutter blade. And I on a blueberry, I do it 938 00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:54.480 in about four places all around the plant, and that 939 00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:56.960 will help it establish better. I was in a blueberry 940 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:00.360 orchard one time and they weren't thriving. We sent and 941 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:02.000 grabbed a plant and kind of pulled on it, and 942 00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:03.719 it came out of the ground and there were a 943 00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:05.840 few roots at the top of the root ball going 944 00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.800 out in the soil, and the rest of it look 945 00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:13.599 like an upside Well, you look like the cylinder that 946 00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.639 came out of the pot, and it says they didn't 947 00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:18.880 cut those roots on the outside didn't establish well. So 948 00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.480 do that, make sure and do that. It is important 949 00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:23.760 with fruit that you give it as much sunlight as 950 00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:29.639 you can. Sun on leaves makes carbohydrates carbohydrates or sugars 951 00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:32.800 that make the fruit sweet and help a plant set 952 00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:38.119 fruit buds. Sun sun sun very important on fruit. Secondly, 953 00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:45.079 does the plant need a pollinating variety? Some fruit like figs, 954 00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:48.280 the standard figs we grow here in this area don't 955 00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:50.519 need a pollinator. There's other figs that do, but we 956 00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:55.079 don't grow those here. Let's see what Peaches do not 957 00:51:55.239 --> 00:52:01.119 need a pollinator. Nectarines do not need a pollinator, Apples do. 958 00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:05.559 Most pears do. And blueberries. If you want them to 959 00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:08.920 make the biggest berries, the best yield, give them a 960 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:13.239 pollinator because in a okay nerd fun fact, do you 961 00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:16.280 know in a blueberry there's like thirty to sixty seeds 962 00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:19.400 and there's a little soft seeds. We just chump through them, 963 00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.440 don't even know they're there. Each seed releases hormones that 964 00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:26.519 form the fruit around that seed. So if you have 965 00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:30.400 an apple that has one hole of that those five 966 00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:32.320 seed sections, and an apple one of them doesn't have 967 00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:35.239 live seed, it's going to be a sunken inside of 968 00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:38.519 the apple, it'll be lopsided because it needed those seeds. 969 00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:42.280 So with the blueberry, every seed you get pollinated makes 970 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:46.599 a bigger blueberry, So it makes sense. Can a blueberry 971 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:50.039 grow without a pollinator? Most of them can, but they 972 00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:52.480 won't produce as well and the berries won't be as big. 973 00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.960 Give them pollinator. Check it out. Good garden centers can 974 00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:58.800 tell you whether it needs that or not. And you 975 00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:01.880 know you got to You gotta have both. What do 976 00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:04.199 they say you can't raise cattle if you shoot the bull. Well, 977 00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:06.360 when it comes to fruit trees, if you want to 978 00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:08.119 have fruit, some kinds of fruit, you got to have 979 00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:10.719 that second boliny or variety in order to have success. 980 00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:13.280 All right, we're gonna go to the phones now and 981 00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:16.320 talk to Steve in Spring. Hey, Steve, welcome to garden 982 00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.800 line and how are we doing this morning? Well, sir, well, 983 00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:22.199 how can we help you today? 984 00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:31.760 My yard, Saint Augustine, it's like sporadically turning dead and 985 00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:33.480 it looks like from the top down. 986 00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:39.719 Okay, and so it's kind of erratic, irregular patches. 987 00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:44.159 Well in the front mainly where the sun hits it 988 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:44.719 all the time. 989 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.719 Now where there's shade trees, it's it's good, but it's. 990 00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:53.320 The front yard, and like I said, it's uh, just 991 00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:57.400 kind of yellowish dead towards the top and working its 992 00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:58.480 way down to the bottom. 993 00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:03.599 Okay. Well, certainly water is one of the first things 994 00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:06.360 we think about, and in sun the demands are higher. 995 00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:09.199 So if the same amount of water and shade and sun, 996 00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:11.039 the sun may not do well and the shade may 997 00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:15.840 do well because of that demand issue. Good soakings. You know, 998 00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:19.239 when you water, it's not how often and all that. 999 00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.639 I recommend watering infrequently with a good deep soaking. But 1000 00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:27.079 that's possibility number one. Number two, it may be a disease. 1001 00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:29.840 There's a disease called take all root rot that can 1002 00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:35.239 affect Saint Augustine and it rots the roots. And if 1003 00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:39.679 you kill roots, then the plant looks drop stressed. So 1004 00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:43.119 the same water issue is happening, but it's because the 1005 00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:46.760 plant roots are dying from the disease. So it could 1006 00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:51.320 be one of those two things. If it's only primarily 1007 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:57.280 happening like adjacent to or starting adjacent to a sidewalk 1008 00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:01.400 or driveway or some other masonry, then chinchbugs or possibility. 1009 00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:04.039 We are way too late for worrying about chinchbugs right now, 1010 00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:06.800 so I don't correct unless it's started back in July. 1011 00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:10.760 I don't think it's hinchbugs. I think take all root 1012 00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:13.840 rot or a watering issue. Maybe what's going on. 1013 00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:17.519 Well, it can't be watering because as I water the 1014 00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:20.840 heck out of it every two days, maybe three, just 1015 00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:22.039 depending on what it looks like. 1016 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:27.280 Okay, well, you know you heard me talk about natrofas 1017 00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:31.480 eagle turfund side for bron patch and take all root rot. 1018 00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:33.800 You may want to give that a try. Put some 1019 00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:37.639 of that out now. There's a several different ingredient products 1020 00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:41.119 that can fight take all root rot. The eagle is 1021 00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:44.000 one of them. If you go on line to gardening 1022 00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:47.760 with skip dot com my website, you will find the 1023 00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:50.800 lawn pest disease and weed management schedule and if you 1024 00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:53.360 go over to October November, you'll see take all listed 1025 00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:56.679 twice there, once in October, once in November. There's a 1026 00:55:56.760 --> 00:55:58.639 list of products for it. And you need to get 1027 00:55:58.679 --> 00:56:00.519 them down. I would get them down now and watered 1028 00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:02.639 in right away, and then I would. 1029 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:03.480 Go it again and. 1030 00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:07.039 Go ahead. 1031 00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:12.440 I put my file fall fertilizer down yesterday. So is 1032 00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:15.239 that okay to put something down for the root rot 1033 00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:16.960 just right away? 1034 00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:19.480 Yeah? You know you need you need to not delay 1035 00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:21.119 when it goes off a little bit. That root rot 1036 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:22.760 is going to be attacking. And a lot of these 1037 00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:26.639 products for root rot are systemic. They move into the plant. 1038 00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.440 Milot butte iil, which is what's an eagle, moves into 1039 00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:35.760 the grass plant. Azoxystrobin is in other products. It moves 1040 00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:37.679 into the plant, and those those are two of the 1041 00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:42.039 better ones for fighting uh take all root rot. There's 1042 00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:43.679 actually if they're a chemical that can do it. But 1043 00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:46.480 just get them down and then be ready about a 1044 00:56:46.519 --> 00:56:47.519 month later do it again. 1045 00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:48.280 Uh. 1046 00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:51.719 And that you may want to come back. And also 1047 00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:54.039 if it's been a significant problem, you may want to 1048 00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:57.079 also come back in spring. And that's also on my 1049 00:56:57.199 --> 00:56:59.840 schedule for takeof. You got to get on that one. 1050 00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:02.599 That is the worst of all our diseases of the lawn. 1051 00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:06.079 Brown patch makes ugly circles. It looks ugly all winter 1052 00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:08.599 and then it just regreens in spring. It doesn't kill 1053 00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:09.159 your grass. 1054 00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:11.760 The same thing happened last year. 1055 00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:16.199 Okay, okay, so is that roue Send me a picture 1056 00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:19.159 if you want, but it's hard to tell.

You hear me brag about here on 1111 01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:06.639 garden Line. I want to go now out to Spring, 1112 01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.480 Texas and talk to Tom. Hello, Tom, good morning. 1113 01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:12.000 I skipt this, Tom. 1114 01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:14.360 You got me? 1115 01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:18.599 Yeah, yes, sir, Hey, I listened to you every Sunday 1116 01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:21.119 morning on the way home from an overnight work job, 1117 01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:24.079 and I wanted to talk to you about my grass. 1118 01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:26.519 I just listened to you about the three part system 1119 01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:29.880 for the grass a little while ago. Yes, And I've 1120 01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:32.760 battled my lawn for the last three years or so 1121 01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:36.679 with the drought, with the cold, with the hot and 1122 01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:38.760 everything else. So I've got a mixed mash of Saint 1123 01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:42.679 Augustine and another type of grass that's really coming in 1124 01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:44.679 kind of good, and I don't want to kill it. 1125 01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:45.440 So I want to just. 1126 01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:49.079 Describe it to you. It's a very low, small grass 1127 01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.079 like a comes up like a star with a little 1128 01:00:51.199 --> 01:00:55.239 flower in it. It's very thick, but it's green and 1129 01:00:55.320 --> 01:00:57.679 I kind of like it because it's green. And my 1130 01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:00.239 lawn has not been green very well for the last 1131 01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:02.639 couple of years. So if I do the step to 1132 01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:05.639 the barricade, is that going to kill that? If it's 1133 01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:06.719 a weed, I don't want. 1134 01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:06.880 To kill it. 1135 01:01:08.800 --> 01:01:12.119 Okay, Uh, well, I'm trying to picture what you're describing. 1136 01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:14.000 It sounds like you may have a sedge. Is it 1137 01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:16.079 almost kind of shiny? The leaves, they are a. 1138 01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:20.400 Little bit of a gloss, skinny, kind of a blue green, 1139 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:24.760 very short, comes up like a star with a little 1140 01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:26.440 flower in the middle. 1141 01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:29.760 Up. 1142 01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:35.000 Yes, it's like a very very small like a matchhead size. 1143 01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:39.320 Uh you know, kind of purplish almost almost. You can't 1144 01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:42.559 see it except for the color that it almost in 1145 01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:48.199 every star that comes up out of the ground, there's 1146 01:01:48.280 --> 01:01:52.960 a little bud of that, uh, that flower in the middle. 1147 01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:55.360 But so if you you know, when I cut it, 1148 01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:58.159 the flowers are gone, and then in a couple of 1149 01:01:58.199 --> 01:02:01.400 days the flowers bloom back up. But it's nice because 1150 01:02:01.440 --> 01:02:03.559 it's green, and my lawn has not been green and 1151 01:02:03.639 --> 01:02:04.760 thick like this in years. 1152 01:02:04.920 --> 01:02:08.760 Okay, well, I can't quite determine what weed you have. 1153 01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:11.320 I wanted to say it was a sage, but not purple. 1154 01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:16.559 Not purple star flower at the top of it. Anyway, 1155 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:22.079 here's the answer. Though nitrofos barricade prevents weed seeds from 1156 01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:25.360 coming up for about sixty ninety days. Somewhere in there, 1157 01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:28.760 maybe a little longer depending on the conditions. So if 1158 01:02:28.800 --> 01:02:34.159 this is an annual weed, then putting nitrof barricade out 1159 01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:37.920 now is not going to stop next year's warm season weeds, 1160 01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:40.360 which if you're seeing it now, it's a warm season weed, 1161 01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:43.719 so you would be okay on that. Now, if you 1162 01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:47.960 applied the barricade in spring and this was coming back 1163 01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:50.960 from seed, not a perennial, but from seed, then it 1164 01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:55.400 would it would likely suppress it, depending on specifically which 1165 01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:57.159 weed it is. And since I don't know for sure, 1166 01:02:57.199 --> 01:02:57.840 it's hard to be ak. 1167 01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:00.920 Yeah, it seems like skip a sea like it's it's 1168 01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:04.639 a spreader, not a not a ro Rii zome spreader 1169 01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:08.400 like Saint Augustine is. But it just kind of spreads 1170 01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:12.920 to a new patch of dirt and to the point 1171 01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:15.320 where it's is really green. 1172 01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:18.920 Got you, So let's do this. If you want, go 1173 01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:20.960 out and take a picture of it. We've got good 1174 01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:23.159 light on it, and send me a picture email it. 1175 01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:26.039 I'm going to put you on hold. My producer will 1176 01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:27.800 pick up the phone and give you an email to 1177 01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:30.960 send me that picture. If I have any additional comments 1178 01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:32.840 on it, anything different than what I've already told you, 1179 01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:34.719 I'll let you know in a reply. 1180 01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:37.400 Okay, Okay, again, I'm on my way home from an 1181 01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:38.800 overnight security job. 1182 01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:48.760 That's yeah, so yeah, yeah, it's this week. I've got 1183 01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:50.679 a kind of booked up week, so it may be 1184 01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:52.199 towards the end of the week that I'm able to 1185 01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:54.400 get back to you on a reply. But I'll get 1186 01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:56.599 it to you, okay. I just don't want to kill it. 1187 01:03:56.760 --> 01:03:56.960 Kill it. 1188 01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:58.800 If it's green, I battle. 1189 01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:02.760 It so long. All right, sounds good? Thanks Tom, Thank you. 1190 01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:04.960 You have a good good you bet you have a 1191 01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:07.880 good rest of your day. For sure. It's a great 1192 01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:10.480 Sunday too. By the way, Hey, you know Nelson Plant Food. 1193 01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:14.480 They have several lines of fertilizer. They've got the nutris 1194 01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:17.239 Star line. They've got the Color Star line, which everybody 1195 01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:20.440 raves about for sprinkling around your flower beds and things 1196 01:04:20.639 --> 01:04:24.480 just to have outstanding growth and vigor and color in 1197 01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.239 your flowers. They also have the Turf Star line. Turf 1198 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.119 of course, is for your lawn. Turf Star carbo Load 1199 01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:34.440 is the fertilizer from Nelson Plant Food for fall, and 1200 01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:38.880 it's designed for fall. The nutrient ratios are perfect for fall. 1201 01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:41.440 A forty pound bag is going to cover about five 1202 01:04:41.480 --> 01:04:45.519 thousand square feet, and carboload also has a pre emergent 1203 01:04:45.719 --> 01:04:49.639 herbicide in it, meaning you gotta water the turf Star 1204 01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:52.880 carbo load in with about a half inch of rain. 1205 01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:55.920 Third to a half inch, probably a half inch better 1206 01:04:56.480 --> 01:04:59.360 watered in, and that moves that product into the soil, 1207 01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:01.639 so when a we tries to germinate, it stops it. 1208 01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:05.599 So that also tells us another thing. This isn't just fertilizer, 1209 01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:08.519 so it's got both. So you don't want to delay 1210 01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:11.199 getting it out. If you waited until November to put 1211 01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:13.360 it out, you're gonna already have some weed seeds that 1212 01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:16.000 are starting to germinate by then. You got to get 1213 01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:20.320 it out asap. So turf Star carbel Load is your 1214 01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:23.920 fall fertilization and your fall pre emergent weed control all 1215 01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:27.000 put into one. It's as simple as that. Another good 1216 01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:30.639 product from the folks sitting now some plant food. Let's 1217 01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.800 go out now to Beat Eyes. Is this beat Iyes, 1218 01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:34.559 Texas Dame? 1219 01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:37.719 It is, indeed, sir, good morning. 1220 01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:40.199 Oh my gosh, you me and the people of Beat 1221 01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:42.119 Eyes are the only ones that know where that is. 1222 01:05:43.880 --> 01:05:47.039 I bet you're correct, all right? How can I help, 1223 01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:48.679 sir man. 1224 01:05:49.639 --> 01:05:53.000 I got four blueberry bushes. One of them I've had 1225 01:05:53.119 --> 01:05:55.840 for several years, and the three I bought earlier this year. 1226 01:05:56.559 --> 01:05:59.360 And I bet some of them there's some of the 1227 01:05:59.440 --> 01:06:01.679 branches are not a single leaf on them. But if 1228 01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:03.920 you go and some of them at the very end, 1229 01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:06.039 if you snap it, it's just like a dry snap. 1230 01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:08.800 And then some of them okay kind of you know, 1231 01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:11.920 green and spongy, so got you. 1232 01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:13.719 Deer. 1233 01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:17.679 Yeah, well, just make sure it gets water. Is your 1234 01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:19.880 water high sodium out there and beat Eyes like it 1235 01:06:20.039 --> 01:06:24.119 is and over and Brian Colors station near you. Well, 1236 01:06:24.199 --> 01:06:31.960 let's it runs through a water softener. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, Well, 1237 01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:36.800 if you can water your your blueberries with something that 1238 01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:39.400 hadn't gone through the softener, that would be better. If 1239 01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:41.159 you can find a if there's a way to go 1240 01:06:41.320 --> 01:06:44.360 around that, if you've got a faucet or something. Blueberries 1241 01:06:44.440 --> 01:06:47.119 hate that kind of water and it will cause them 1242 01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:51.320 to get toasty and brown. So rain water or something 1243 01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:55.079 the hard water is fine, but just uh yeah, that 1244 01:06:55.320 --> 01:06:58.840 That's what I'd recommend, you know. As far as other things, 1245 01:06:58.880 --> 01:07:00.480 there there are a few other things. It could be 1246 01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:03.320 causing some issues with it. But I think I think 1247 01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:06.639 basically I would fix that water thing first, whatever that takes. 1248 01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:12.360 Okay, yeah, because all right would get very brown right 1249 01:07:12.400 --> 01:07:13.960 at the tips, and then they would curl up. 1250 01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:17.840 Yep. That's the sign of the sodium it is, and 1251 01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:21.760 that that's soft water. Soft water. Yep. That'd be my 1252 01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:26.079 number one recommendation that in acidifying plant food fertilizers and 1253 01:07:26.360 --> 01:07:29.199 you know, good mulching and keep the soul moist. And 1254 01:07:29.559 --> 01:07:32.960 that's the secret to blueberries out there. All right, I'm 1255 01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:35.559 gonna have to run to a break that I'm due 1256 01:07:35.599 --> 01:07:39.360 for here, sir.

Hey Desmond, welcome to garden Line. 1304 01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:05.760 Good. 1305 01:10:05.880 --> 01:10:09.000 Yeah, thanks Scoop, thanks for picking up on this. Yeah, 1306 01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:11.520 I've talked to you before about the dovewed, and I've 1307 01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:16.920 been treating it with celsius. Okay, I had using blindside, 1308 01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:21.000 but it's taken three treatments to have any effect on it. 1309 01:10:21.399 --> 01:10:25.560 So my front garden, I've got to the stage where 1310 01:10:25.560 --> 01:10:26.239 I'm pulling. 1311 01:10:26.000 --> 01:10:26.840 That up by hand. 1312 01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:30.840 My back garden, which is a much much larger area, 1313 01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:34.479 is just blanketed with dunwick. Now it's starting to die 1314 01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:35.920 and looking pretty dead. 1315 01:10:37.000 --> 01:10:38.880 My question is should I. 1316 01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:43.399 Go around and pull it all up, because it's just 1317 01:10:43.479 --> 01:10:46.840 a blanket of sort of semi dead dovewed right now? 1318 01:10:47.199 --> 01:10:49.319 Should I just wait for the ground to get a 1319 01:10:49.399 --> 01:10:51.720 bit moist and then just go around and pull it 1320 01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:55.319 all up to allow the Saint Augustine to start spreading again. 1321 01:10:56.560 --> 01:10:58.479 Well, you could do that. You want to be careful. 1322 01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:00.760 It's got a lot of seeds on it, and all 1323 01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:02.640 those seeds are just gonna fall off as you try 1324 01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:05.039 to pull it, So be as careful as you can 1325 01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:10.840 with it, just to avoid, you know, getting getting more 1326 01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:14.319 seeds down there and in the way and whatnot. Doveweed 1327 01:11:14.439 --> 01:11:16.960 is a it is a problem, and it makes a 1328 01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:19.479 very thick carpet and as a result, you end up 1329 01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:22.520 kind of choking your areas of Saint Augustine out as 1330 01:11:22.600 --> 01:11:25.920 you've learned, But pulling it by hand with the soil 1331 01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:29.800 moist is really good. You want to pull them, I 1332 01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:32.640 take like a five gallon bucket when I'm pulling weeds, 1333 01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:34.279 and that way I can pull them and just set 1334 01:11:34.319 --> 01:11:36.079 them right there in the bucket and get them out 1335 01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:40.399 of there. Because doveweed is it can easily reroot on you. 1336 01:11:40.760 --> 01:11:43.039 And uh, it's it's an issue. But yeah, you can. 1337 01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:46.239 You can do as you said, just do it soon 1338 01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:49.039 and do it as thoroughly as you can. 1339 01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:50.199 Right. 1340 01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:52.680 Yeah, I've never seen any flowers or anything like that 1341 01:11:52.840 --> 01:11:56.119 on this. And I'll usually wheel my WHEELI bin which 1342 01:11:56.199 --> 01:11:58.840 is a huge wheelly bin out there, and I'll filled 1343 01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:01.159 that a couple of times. So, I mean, I've got 1344 01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:03.800 a lot of it. But it seems to prevent the 1345 01:12:03.880 --> 01:12:08.039 Saint Augustine from letting its roots get down to the soil. 1346 01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:09.600 Is how it kills. 1347 01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:13.079 Well, there's several plants. There are several plants that are 1348 01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:17.399 related to doveweed. They all kind of have a wondering 1349 01:12:17.600 --> 01:12:20.880 jew type growth habit. You know, the the ornamental plant 1350 01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:24.720 wandering jew that's in baskets and sometimes grow. These are 1351 01:12:24.760 --> 01:12:28.399 all these are all somewhat related to that, and they're 1352 01:12:28.439 --> 01:12:32.000 a challenge to control. They're not easy, but if you 1353 01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:33.800 stay on it, you can get ahead of it. 1354 01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:35.239 Yeah. 1355 01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:37.800 Well, the root system is very very thin, but it 1356 01:12:37.880 --> 01:12:43.000 goes for miles. Each root spreads miles, you know, and 1357 01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:44.720 you put it up, you'll have a you have a 1358 01:12:44.920 --> 01:12:47.800 string of root, you know, a couple of foot long 1359 01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:50.479 or more where it's spreads. 1360 01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:53.000 You know, could you could you take a picture of 1361 01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:54.640 that and send it to me. I want to make 1362 01:12:54.680 --> 01:12:57.479 sure we're talking about the same plant here. If you 1363 01:12:57.600 --> 01:13:00.560 can take one in the yard or pull one up 1364 01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:02.720 with that route and lay it on the table and 1365 01:13:02.920 --> 01:13:05.199 take a good picture, Mike, sure it's in sharp focus 1366 01:13:05.279 --> 01:13:08.079 as close as you can get. And the last thing 1367 01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:10.680 about it Doesmond, is if you will attach it to 1368 01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:13.880 the email rather than embed it into the text, you know, 1369 01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:16.640 like pasting it into the text. Make it an attachment, 1370 01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:20.119 use that little paper clip icon that allows me to 1371 01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:23.199 get in quickly and getting close for a good close look. 1372 01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:24.960 But won't we do that. I'm going to put you 1373 01:13:25.039 --> 01:13:28.359 on hold and have my producer give you an email 1374 01:13:28.399 --> 01:13:31.159 address to send it to me. Some things you're saying 1375 01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:33.359 are kind of making me wonder if we're talking about 1376 01:13:33.359 --> 01:13:34.840 the right weed or not, but I still want to 1377 01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:39.399 be sure before we go any further.

I mean a tree a connect over 1383 01:13:56.800 --> 01:13:59.920 a thousand dollars of value to your home easily, and 1384 01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:02.479 that you know, a blueberry bush ain't worth that or 1385 01:14:02.520 --> 01:14:06.800 an azalea. Trees are valuable and their long term it 1386 01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:08.600 takes a long time to get a tree to a 1387 01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:11.199 good size.

Couldn't even say it for a second, 1487 01:19:45.479 --> 01:19:47.600 you know, miracles get eaten up by spider mites in 1488 01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:51.479 the summer, but nonfall, the changing of the day links 1489 01:19:51.560 --> 01:19:55.079 and temperatures and things. Spider mac populations are crashing and 1490 01:19:55.319 --> 01:19:58.920 you're good to go. Marigoles will glow right up until 1491 01:19:58.920 --> 01:20:03.239 the first frost.

When you go to Arbrogate 1495 01:20:13.239 --> 01:20:17.199 to buy plants, go home with Organic food Complete. It's 1496 01:20:17.239 --> 01:20:20.960 a four four three plus calcium food. It's a fertilizer 1497 01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:25.119 for your plants. Organic soil Complete, the second bag, it 1498 01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:30.159 is a quality soil with added expanded shale. Expanded shale 1499 01:20:30.359 --> 01:20:34.239 lasts a long time, keeping a clay soil open and 1500 01:20:34.359 --> 01:20:38.560 better drained. And the finally the third bag Organic compost Complete. Well, 1501 01:20:38.760 --> 01:20:42.039 that's compost again with expanded shale. So when you do 1502 01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:44.760 all three of those things, you have built a foundation 1503 01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:48.960 for your plants to thrive. Actually, the organic food complete 1504 01:20:49.039 --> 01:20:50.960 you can apply that after you put the plants into 1505 01:20:51.439 --> 01:20:53.680 Just sprinkle it on the surface, watered in, scratch it 1506 01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:56.319 into the surface and it does really well. But check 1507 01:20:56.399 --> 01:20:59.319 out everything going on they man they have some of 1508 01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:03.239 the most outstanding and beautiful plants that I've ever seen 1509 01:21:03.880 --> 01:21:06.560 that are just glowing there at Arbrogate. And then they 1510 01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:08.640 have the staff that knows what they're talking about. And 1511 01:21:08.760 --> 01:21:12.439 that is important. In fact, it's not important, it is essential. 1512 01:21:12.960 --> 01:21:15.720 It is essential. And Arbrogate scot those they know how 1513 01:21:15.760 --> 01:21:18.880 to do things. They've grown here before, they're gardeners themselves, 1514 01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:22.119 and they can help you transform your place into something special. 1515 01:21:22.319 --> 01:21:25.079 You got problems with plants, bring them a picture, bring 1516 01:21:25.159 --> 01:21:26.720 them a sample, say what is this? How do I 1517 01:21:26.840 --> 01:21:29.199 do this? Or a picture? My neighbor's got one of these? 1518 01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:30.720 You got any of these? I got to have one 1519 01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:33.800 from my yard. I bet, I bet Arbrogate does. They're 1520 01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:36.359 west to Tomball on twenty nine to twenty. The website 1521 01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:38.960 is arbrogate dot com. You need to get on the newsletter. 1522 01:21:39.279 --> 01:21:42.920 It is very very good, very interesting. Some outstanding writers 1523 01:21:42.960 --> 01:21:46.880 that they have help them with that too. By the way, Well, 1524 01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:50.119 let me go out to David M. Bel Air. Now, hey, David, 1525 01:21:50.199 --> 01:21:52.720 welcome to garden Line. Hello. 1526 01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:57.479 I bought hi a bunch of Hi, thank you for 1527 01:21:57.600 --> 01:22:00.479 your taking my call, a bunch of. 1528 01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:04.800 Bulbs, mainly tulips from Hostco and bags from recently. 1529 01:22:05.960 --> 01:22:08.159 And then I'm going back the next day next. 1530 01:22:08.039 --> 01:22:10.079 Week, and they had them on sale, so I bought 1531 01:22:10.079 --> 01:22:10.920 a whole bunch more. 1532 01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:13.960 And how should I store. 1533 01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:16.520 Them inside or in a refrigerator? 1534 01:22:17.079 --> 01:22:22.039 And when should I plant up tulips and other springs blooming? 1535 01:22:23.640 --> 01:22:27.159 Okay, yeah, it kind of depends on the bulb. But 1536 01:22:27.319 --> 01:22:30.680 tulips and hyacinth, the crocus, those kinds of bulbs we 1537 01:22:30.760 --> 01:22:33.359 call them once you get one year, one year out 1538 01:22:33.399 --> 01:22:40.119 of them, pardon and narcissus. Okay, you can plant the 1539 01:22:40.199 --> 01:22:44.520 narcissus now, uh, the tulips, hyacinth, the crocus, those kinds 1540 01:22:44.520 --> 01:22:46.880 of things. Put it in the refrigerator in a bin. 1541 01:22:47.760 --> 01:22:50.319 Do not have apples in the bind with them. Apples 1542 01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:53.159 give off at the lene that really messes up the bulbs. 1543 01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:56.880 They the sprout that comes out looks all weird. But 1544 01:22:57.399 --> 01:23:00.600 put them in a bin, store them and right for Christmas, 1545 01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:02.119 get out there and put them in the ground. You 1546 01:23:02.159 --> 01:23:05.000 can do them last week of December. You can do them, 1547 01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:07.640 you know, early January. Get them in the ground of 1548 01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:11.560 those narcissus and a lot of the other bulbs that 1549 01:23:12.239 --> 01:23:15.239 have at least a hope of repeating, if you know, 1550 01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:18.279 we get them at big box places like that. Typically 1551 01:23:18.359 --> 01:23:21.920 you get bulbs that don't repeat well. Our garden centers 1552 01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:25.560 carry the kinds the varieties that do. Once you plan them, 1553 01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:28.640 you get year after year returns on them. But it's 1554 01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:30.560 worth a try. You got them, give them a shot 1555 01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:32.159 and get them in right now. 1556 01:23:32.439 --> 01:23:32.520 Now. 1557 01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:36.720 It's a good time to plant bulbs now in next month. Two. Okay, 1558 01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:40.199 thank you, all right, you bet take care. Thanks for 1559 01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:42.920 the call. Appreciate that We're going to go now to 1560 01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:46.279 College station. Talk to Daryl. Hey, Darryl, welcome to Guardline. 1561 01:23:46.399 --> 01:23:51.399 Hey, County, and Gigam. I had the same thing. 1562 01:23:52.800 --> 01:23:53.760 Yeah, I had the. 1563 01:23:53.800 --> 01:23:58.760 Same thing that the guy driving home has. And I 1564 01:23:59.399 --> 01:24:01.760 think I can get a little more flavor to what 1565 01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:04.439 that looks like. And I think it's roadside aster. 1566 01:24:05.560 --> 01:24:06.000 It has a. 1567 01:24:06.119 --> 01:24:11.000 Central okayroot, and then it spreads out and when you 1568 01:24:11.119 --> 01:24:15.840 mow it, it just keeps getting broader and broader. I 1569 01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:19.159 want to get rid of it, okay, and it has 1570 01:24:19.359 --> 01:24:21.479 you need to handle long uh huh. 1571 01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:26.279 Yeah. Yeah, it's all over now and it's starting to bloom. 1572 01:24:26.399 --> 01:24:28.920 I've just seen some flowers that have been for about 1573 01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:32.840 a week. So roadside aster is is truly blue green, 1574 01:24:33.079 --> 01:24:37.159 and it in a vacant lot, it'll get waist high 1575 01:24:37.640 --> 01:24:41.039 in the lawn. It goes sideways and flat and as 1576 01:24:41.079 --> 01:24:43.640 you described, but it does have the tap root, so 1577 01:24:43.960 --> 01:24:46.600 make sure your lawn is well watered so the soil 1578 01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:49.039 is really soft. You got a lot of clay soils 1579 01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:51.479 up in that area, and if they're hard, that astra 1580 01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:54.560 just breaks off. If you reach down and right at 1581 01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:56.880 the top of the tap root, just underneath all the 1582 01:24:56.960 --> 01:25:00.279 branches and kind of grab it and shake your hands 1583 01:25:00.319 --> 01:25:02.479 to the side as you pull, you pull those out, 1584 01:25:02.640 --> 01:25:05.159 and you can pull a lot of them out. Astra 1585 01:25:05.279 --> 01:25:10.439 makes tons of flowers and seeds and so at this stage, 1586 01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:14.640 no post emergent herbicide will kill it adequately. So you've 1587 01:25:14.680 --> 01:25:17.399 got to get those out. If you wait until the 1588 01:25:17.479 --> 01:25:21.119 flowers have finished and the seed pods are dried, when 1589 01:25:21.159 --> 01:25:22.960 you pull it out, you're gonna lose a bunch of 1590 01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:26.039 seeds in the process. So the sooner you get at 1591 01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:28.199 the sign of the first flower, that means get in 1592 01:25:28.279 --> 01:25:30.399 the lawn. I've got a five gallon bucket. I've got 1593 01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:33.520 a neighbor that has some in in their yard and 1594 01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:36.720 it keeps drifting over into mind. So every year have 1595 01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:38.520 to go out there, get them my hands and knees 1596 01:25:38.560 --> 01:25:41.000 and pull a bunch of it, because you really notice 1597 01:25:41.039 --> 01:25:42.800 it in the fall. It's they're all summer. You just 1598 01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:45.159 don't see it because it's smaller plants and kind of 1599 01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:50.039 hidden in the grass. But pull, pull, be ruthless. You'll 1600 01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:51.720 get your cut coffee or something. 1601 01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:56.800 And yeah, I've been doing that, And is there anything 1602 01:25:56.880 --> 01:25:59.880 Will the pre emergent take care of them for next year? 1603 01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:04.000 Or what next next year? A pre emergent that will 1604 01:26:04.079 --> 01:26:08.359 work on broad leaves. Barricade is one that you can use, 1605 01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:11.840 but you're gonna apply it in your area. I would 1606 01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:16.279 probably apply it at the end of February, and then 1607 01:26:16.359 --> 01:26:21.239 I probably would repeat it again sixty days later to 1608 01:26:21.319 --> 01:26:24.720 get a second application down, because that would be your 1609 01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:26.840 best bet for getting ahead of it. Hey, I have 1610 01:26:27.039 --> 01:26:29.680 got to run.

Happy to do that. 1630 01:27:23.560 --> 01:27:25.319 We're going to head out now too. Where are we 1631 01:27:25.399 --> 01:27:27.279 going we're going to summer Wood and we're going to 1632 01:27:27.279 --> 01:27:29.520 talk to Robert. Hey, Robert, welcome to Guardline. 1633 01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:31.760 Good morning, Thank you. 1634 01:27:33.079 --> 01:27:36.399 I want to see if you if you can solve 1635 01:27:36.439 --> 01:27:41.640 a critical problem I have. Okay, I was preparing preparing 1636 01:27:41.680 --> 01:27:45.079 a house to go on the market, and the front 1637 01:27:45.159 --> 01:27:48.760 yard was a disaster. So I hired a company to 1638 01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:53.680 re sought it. And they did what I thought was 1639 01:27:53.720 --> 01:27:57.039 a good job. They put some top, they put soil down, 1640 01:27:57.680 --> 01:28:00.039 then they put top soil on top of that, and 1641 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:04.920 they put their sod down. But by the second day 1642 01:28:05.119 --> 01:28:10.239 all I had was yellow and pale green. The third 1643 01:28:10.359 --> 01:28:13.760 day it was turning brown. Now I have a front 1644 01:28:13.840 --> 01:28:19.039 yard full of brown stiff straw. How do I okay, 1645 01:28:19.159 --> 01:28:21.880 do you do you have a magic answer for my problem? 1646 01:28:22.279 --> 01:28:24.760 Well, you know, if if the problem was the initial 1647 01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:27.720 you know, lack of water, like roots drying out and things, 1648 01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:31.800 that's usually what happens with new sod. Uh, you just 1649 01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:34.600 can't see. Just start watering it and see what if 1650 01:28:34.640 --> 01:28:38.199 there's enough there to come back. Typically when we lay sod, 1651 01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:41.199 we will put down a water twice a day for 1652 01:28:41.319 --> 01:28:43.359 a week, once a day for another week, and then 1653 01:28:43.399 --> 01:28:45.800 every other day for a week so those first three 1654 01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:48.600 weeks we are making sure that little thin layer of 1655 01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:51.239 roots and sod, that soil that comes in with the 1656 01:28:51.319 --> 01:28:53.560 sod has a chance to get down in the ground 1657 01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:57.000 and give the give the grass a chance. If you 1658 01:28:57.079 --> 01:29:00.520 don't even a day without water earlier on in that 1659 01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:03.000 process can cause what you're describing. 1660 01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:09.199 If you water adequately starting when you see the problem, 1661 01:29:09.439 --> 01:29:12.239 is likely that you can recover. 1662 01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:18.479 If the runners aren't already dead. Saint Augustine is only 1663 01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:23.600 alive in the runners above ground, the stolens. It doesn't 1664 01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:26.560 have the underground rhizomes like bermuda grass and suysia do, 1665 01:29:27.239 --> 01:29:31.319 so if the top drives and dies, it's dead. So 1666 01:29:31.920 --> 01:29:34.920 I don't know how far gone it is. Hopefully you 1667 01:29:35.159 --> 01:29:38.760 have enough that with watering it'll recover, and then you 1668 01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:41.439 can get it going again next spring with following my 1669 01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:46.640 loan schedule that's online at my website. Well, thank you 1670 01:29:46.800 --> 01:29:49.720 very much. All right, sir, you bet good luck with that. 1671 01:29:49.880 --> 01:29:53.199 Sorry to hear about those challenges. I know that can 1672 01:29:53.239 --> 01:29:57.960 be frustrating. Medina products has been around. They have been 1673 01:29:58.000 --> 01:30:01.680 around for a long time. They've got the Medina. Oh 1674 01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:04.399 I guess one of my more famous products is Medina 1675 01:30:04.439 --> 01:30:07.039 Soil Activator. You know, it's got all kinds of great 1676 01:30:07.079 --> 01:30:09.600 stuff in it to help your plants. In general, they 1677 01:30:09.640 --> 01:30:13.279 haven't called Medina Plus, and it is Medina Sool Activator Plus. 1678 01:30:14.520 --> 01:30:17.680 It has over forty trace elements. It's got natural growth 1679 01:30:17.720 --> 01:30:21.159 hormones from seaweed extract. It's got magnesium and iron and zinc, 1680 01:30:21.279 --> 01:30:25.039 and you know of those vitamin type things like riboflav 1681 01:30:25.119 --> 01:30:28.800 and thiamin, biotin, nicotinic acid, you know that kind of stuff. 1682 01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:31.239 Lots of trace elements in it, and it's just good 1683 01:30:31.640 --> 01:30:33.159 and you can use it in a lot of ways. 1684 01:30:33.399 --> 01:30:35.479 I would recommend it as a folio spray. You're not 1685 01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:39.279 going to burn plants with it, so all your plants, tree, shrubs, lawns. 1686 01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:40.920 You can put it on a hose in spray or 1687 01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:43.920 use it on your lawn. I like to use products 1688 01:30:44.279 --> 01:30:48.720 from Medina in my transplanting processes. So falls for planting. 1689 01:30:49.359 --> 01:30:51.239 You put a plant in the ground, get you a 1690 01:30:51.319 --> 01:30:54.640 watering can fill it with Medina Soil Activator mixed at 1691 01:30:54.680 --> 01:30:57.479 the label rate, and water that plant in. You can 1692 01:30:57.640 --> 01:30:59.279 do a hose in spray and do the same thing 1693 01:30:59.359 --> 01:31:02.840 with it that way. I even use it seed soaking. 1694 01:31:03.119 --> 01:31:04.760 You know, you get some little siege and I'll soak 1695 01:31:04.800 --> 01:31:06.279 them with water and then put them in the ground. 1696 01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:09.079 Water them in. Medina cel Activator mixed at the right 1697 01:31:09.159 --> 01:31:11.840 rate is a good idea for that too. All products 1698 01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:14.800 from Medina and you're going to find those widely available 1699 01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:17.560 here in the greater Houston area Medina Plus. Look for 1700 01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:22.079 Medina Plus again, Medina cel Activator is in it plus 1701 01:31:22.840 --> 01:31:26.560 over forty different trace elements and other very helpful compounds 1702 01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:30.359 for plants. We're going to go now to Bay's City 1703 01:31:30.640 --> 01:31:33.720 and talk to Mike. Hey, Mike, Hello, Olre. 1704 01:31:35.039 --> 01:31:37.119 I know I've listened to you quite a bit and 1705 01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:40.039 it sounds like you're fairly interested in okra. 1706 01:31:40.960 --> 01:31:44.600 And I was wondering, I have an ocra problem, Mike, 1707 01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:48.680 I have an Oprah addiction addiction, So. 1708 01:31:48.800 --> 01:31:51.479 Yeah, I go, okay, well it sounds that way.

But anyway, his 1715 01:32:11.640 --> 01:32:12.399 name's Holiday. 1716 01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:13.960 He went down and. 1717 01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:17.560 Major Oh the hardest one.

But kay, they're so tall 1725 01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:37.920 this year. 1726 01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:38.520 I don't know why. 1727 01:32:39.239 --> 01:32:41.479 I might have beat his record if i'd have watered 1728 01:32:41.520 --> 01:32:44.199 them more, but if I didn't, But it was interesting. 1729 01:32:44.319 --> 01:32:47.199 I didn't mine were so tall.

I know people don't listen every day, 1747 01:33:32.439 --> 01:33:34.840 which breaks my heart, by the way, But I know 1748 01:33:34.960 --> 01:33:36.840 people don't listen every day. And I say something one 1749 01:33:36.880 --> 01:33:38.560 day and I think we'll say it again the next 1750 01:33:39.000 --> 01:33:42.279 Andrews Probably yes, Probably yes. The other day, I was 1751 01:33:42.319 --> 01:33:45.680 talking about mascots, high school mascots that were ridiculous, like 1752 01:33:45.800 --> 01:33:50.239 the snails. I mean, think about that, the snails. Can 1753 01:33:50.319 --> 01:33:52.880 you what are the cheerleaders say on the on the 1754 01:33:53.319 --> 01:33:56.479 they go, you know, slim them snails, make them really 1755 01:33:56.680 --> 01:34:02.000 really slippery or gross them out or snail snailses cargo. 1756 01:34:02.239 --> 01:34:07.239 I don't know. Anyway. There's also a fighting Okra. There's 1757 01:34:07.279 --> 01:34:13.399 a college in Mississippi, Delta State, that their unofficial mascot 1758 01:34:13.520 --> 01:34:16.079 is the Fighting Okra, And it's just what you would expect, 1759 01:34:16.159 --> 01:34:17.840 kind of looks like the fighting Irish guy, you know, 1760 01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:19.439 the little green guy with his fists up and the 1761 01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:22.560 frown on his face. But it's an Okra, So there 1762 01:34:22.640 --> 01:34:26.439 you go. I don't know about these mascots. You'd think 1763 01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:30.399 we'd at least look for something like you know, a 1764 01:34:30.560 --> 01:34:33.600 giant lion or something that sounds a little vicious, but 1765 01:34:34.079 --> 01:34:38.279 snails and okra.

Forward slash Houston. We're gonna 1799 01:36:19.520 --> 01:36:21.800 go now to eight off out in Manville. Hey eight off, 1800 01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:22.840 Welcome to garden Line. 1801 01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:27.680 Good morning, Skip. You were talking about strawberries long ago. 1802 01:36:27.720 --> 01:36:31.800 I didn't get all of it, but yes, can I 1803 01:36:31.920 --> 01:36:35.159 plant them now? With seed? 1804 01:36:35.399 --> 01:36:39.199 Yes? No, with plants, transplants. 1805 01:36:41.119 --> 01:36:47.199 Oh, okay, so it's too late for seed. Okay, well, 1806 01:36:47.800 --> 01:36:48.399 we would. 1807 01:36:48.279 --> 01:36:51.840 Never never plant them by seed. Really, it's just you'll 1808 01:36:51.920 --> 01:36:54.439 never end up seeing plants that have strawberries. It's just 1809 01:36:54.800 --> 01:36:57.159 get transplants in the fall. That's the way to go. 1810 01:36:57.520 --> 01:37:02.159 Yeah, okay, uh, And now I'm gonna put them in pots, 1811 01:37:03.119 --> 01:37:08.880 So I buy what type of bagged dirt gonna buy? 1812 01:37:10.640 --> 01:37:14.479 There's a lot of good yeah, good quality pinting soil. 1813 01:37:14.640 --> 01:37:18.520 You know, airlom Cells makes one called the Works that 1814 01:37:18.680 --> 01:37:22.600 works really well. You could even use you can use 1815 01:37:22.640 --> 01:37:24.880 a veggie and herb mix in those pots and it 1816 01:37:24.920 --> 01:37:28.119 would be okay too. But you want a pot with 1817 01:37:28.640 --> 01:37:31.800 a decent sized root volume because the smaller the pot, 1818 01:37:32.319 --> 01:37:34.159 the more often you have to water. And if you 1819 01:37:34.239 --> 01:37:36.359 forget the water and it's you know, we still have 1820 01:37:36.399 --> 01:37:39.560 a ninety degree days, but even in December we can 1821 01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:43.560 have ninety degree days sometimes. You know, you don't want 1822 01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:46.600 to stress the plants, and so a little more soil 1823 01:37:46.720 --> 01:37:49.720 volume is helpful for them. But yeah, you can grow 1824 01:37:49.920 --> 01:37:53.479 strawberries like crazy. I mean, people grow them in hanging baskets, 1825 01:37:53.520 --> 01:37:55.159 but you better be ready to water them all the 1826 01:37:55.199 --> 01:37:57.039 time because that's a small amount of soil. 1827 01:37:58.039 --> 01:38:01.640 Okay, Now I do have some some. 1828 01:38:03.319 --> 01:38:10.319 Gumbo, uh in large containers? Would that be gumbo? Is 1829 01:38:10.399 --> 01:38:11.960 okay as well? 1830 01:38:13.840 --> 01:38:16.680 Like a black clay soil in large containers. 1831 01:38:16.720 --> 01:38:17.439 Right right? 1832 01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:21.560 I mean, but it's got a lot of gumbo in it. 1833 01:38:23.359 --> 01:38:23.560 Yeah. 1834 01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:28.119 I would they like sandy loamy soils. If you look 1835 01:38:28.119 --> 01:38:31.239 at strawberry growing regions, it's very sandy soil. I would 1836 01:38:31.319 --> 01:38:34.239 you could buy sand, you know, from a garden place 1837 01:38:35.039 --> 01:38:37.079 down there in Manville. You're not too far away from 1838 01:38:37.680 --> 01:38:40.600 uh Siena Mulch which is over in Sienna. Uh and 1839 01:38:40.800 --> 01:38:43.600 they have blends and sand. You could get sand and 1840 01:38:43.680 --> 01:38:45.520 buy some composts to go with it and mix them 1841 01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:47.159 together and it would do very very well. 1842 01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:50.840 Okay, all right, well, thank you very much. 1843 01:38:51.359 --> 01:38:55.039 Yep.

The sooner you get it down, the 1903 01:41:53.600 --> 01:41:55.880 more time that grass has to take up the nutrients 1904 01:41:56.279 --> 01:42:00.640 to help it when it captures sunlight create winter heartiness, 1905 01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:05.119 the equivalent of infries inside those plants.

Barricade is a pre emergent What does 1908 01:42:11.840 --> 01:42:14.000 that mean. It means you put it down, you water 1909 01:42:14.079 --> 01:42:18.359 it in before the weeds emerge, and it will prevent 1910 01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:21.359 them from ever showing up and causing a problem. The 1911 01:42:21.520 --> 01:42:26.119 third step is nitrophoss eagle ter fungicide.

I want to 2007 01:47:39.039 --> 01:47:41.199 mention because I keep telling you you need to plant, 2008 01:47:41.239 --> 01:47:43.159 You need to plant, you need to plant. It's fall. 2009 01:47:43.439 --> 01:47:46.319 Fall is the season for planting. Fall is especially the 2010 01:47:46.399 --> 01:47:50.239 season for planting. Wood are ornamentals. Well, when you plant 2011 01:47:50.279 --> 01:47:52.920 a tree, you don't have to do the old way 2012 01:47:53.159 --> 01:47:55.920 of three guy wires to hold the tree in place 2013 01:47:56.319 --> 01:47:59.039 after you plan it. Those wires are for tripping over 2014 01:47:59.159 --> 01:48:00.840 they're in the way. It's a lot of work. You 2015 01:48:00.920 --> 01:48:02.560 gotta find wire. You got to put some kind of 2016 01:48:02.600 --> 01:48:05.279 a cut section of garden hose around the wire so 2017 01:48:05.359 --> 01:48:07.000 it didn't cut into the tree. And on and on 2018 01:48:07.760 --> 01:48:10.920 just gets you a three sixty tree stabilizer. It is 2019 01:48:11.520 --> 01:48:13.520 a bar. I think of it as an arm, and 2020 01:48:13.640 --> 01:48:16.359 it grabs onto a post there is you can get 2021 01:48:16.359 --> 01:48:19.079 a little. It comes with an attachment that attaches to 2022 01:48:19.720 --> 01:48:21.560 t posts. You know, drive them in the ground. Makes 2023 01:48:21.560 --> 01:48:24.039 it real easy. And you do it real close to 2024 01:48:24.119 --> 01:48:26.279 the tree, not very far away you know maybe I 2025 01:48:26.279 --> 01:48:28.119 don't know, foot a little over foot foot and a 2026 01:48:28.159 --> 01:48:31.479 half eighteen inches somewhere in there. And you attach it 2027 01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:34.880 to the tree with a soft strap. That allows movement, 2028 01:48:35.079 --> 01:48:42.399 and that is important. Movement strengthens tissues. It strengthens our muscles. 2029 01:48:42.439 --> 01:48:45.680 You think about this. You work out by lifting weights 2030 01:48:45.920 --> 01:48:49.479 day after day after day. That strain, that stress, that pull, 2031 01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:53.079 that movement, it strengthens your muscles. Well, you take a 2032 01:48:53.159 --> 01:48:55.840 tree and you tie it perfectly still where it can't move. 2033 01:48:56.000 --> 01:48:58.960 It will not get the strength of trunk that it 2034 01:48:59.039 --> 01:49:01.119 will if you allow to move a little in the 2035 01:49:01.199 --> 01:49:04.479 bin that that bin, that stress that movement strengthens it. 2036 01:49:04.840 --> 01:49:07.680 Three sixty tree stabilizers designed to allow that. 2037 01:49:08.079 --> 01:49:08.199 Now. 2038 01:49:08.239 --> 01:49:10.479 You're going to find them at RCW. You can find 2039 01:49:10.520 --> 01:49:12.600 them down the Southwest Fertilizer. You can go up to 2040 01:49:12.680 --> 01:49:15.399 Buchanan's Native Plants. You can go over down in Alvin. 2041 01:49:15.520 --> 01:49:18.319 Jorges Hidden Gardens has them. Arborgate has them up in 2042 01:49:18.359 --> 01:49:20.880 Tambail Plants for all seasons, Highway two forty nine and 2043 01:49:21.560 --> 01:49:24.039 ed Luetta. These are all places you can get the 2044 01:49:24.119 --> 01:49:27.279 three sixty tree stabilizer. If you're going to plant a 2045 01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:30.880 tree that is an valuable part of your landscape, invest 2046 01:49:31.000 --> 01:49:34.960 in a very reasonab reasonably priced three sixty tree stabilizer 2047 01:49:35.359 --> 01:49:37.560 and your set and anytime you want to put another 2048 01:49:37.640 --> 01:49:39.199 tree in, your neighbor wants to put a tree, and 2049 01:49:39.279 --> 01:49:41.399 you can loan them, there's your tree stabilizer to put in. 2050 01:49:41.840 --> 01:49:43.920 They work. If you've got a good sized tree. You 2051 01:49:43.960 --> 01:49:46.239 can do two of them, one at kind of a 2052 01:49:46.800 --> 01:49:49.000 right angle to the other one, so no matter which 2053 01:49:49.039 --> 01:49:51.920 way the wind blows, you're good to go. I love 2054 01:49:52.000 --> 01:49:57.239 that product. It's very ingenious. It is just outstanding and 2055 01:49:57.359 --> 01:50:01.039 it really really works. We're going to head now to Spring, 2056 01:50:01.159 --> 01:50:04.079 Texas and talk to Cody. Hey Cody, welcome to garden Line. 2057 01:50:05.560 --> 01:50:06.079 Good morning. 2058 01:50:07.279 --> 01:50:12.520 I had a magnolia tree that died during the big freeze, 2059 01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:16.760 and if I finally cut it down and everything and 2060 01:50:16.840 --> 01:50:20.800 the roots, I'm gonna call it stems or shoots, it 2061 01:50:20.920 --> 01:50:25.520 started sprouting up. I've got a clump of about about 2062 01:50:25.600 --> 01:50:27.720 keen of them together. They are about three foot tall, 2063 01:50:27.880 --> 01:50:30.239 and that leaves and everything, you know, starting to grow back. 2064 01:50:31.079 --> 01:50:33.119 What's the best way to just trim all that back 2065 01:50:33.199 --> 01:50:36.479 and keep one of those stocks coming up and try 2066 01:50:36.520 --> 01:50:37.840 to get that to be a tree, or what's the 2067 01:50:37.880 --> 01:50:39.800 best way to try to get that thing to come 2068 01:50:39.840 --> 01:50:40.439 back as a tree. 2069 01:50:41.880 --> 01:50:45.439 Yeah, if you got if you got sucker or water 2070 01:50:45.520 --> 01:50:47.800 spout or sucker spouts coming out from the base, it 2071 01:50:47.920 --> 01:50:51.520 picked one and let it be the trunk and cut 2072 01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:54.560 all the rest away, and it in time will form 2073 01:50:54.640 --> 01:50:58.000 a good trunk again. Uh, it could be. It's gonna 2074 01:50:58.000 --> 01:51:00.159 be a little bit of a weaker spot because is 2075 01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:03.119 unlike a normal tree that just has a regular trunk 2076 01:51:03.199 --> 01:51:05.560 with roots going to the sides coming out. It's gonna 2077 01:51:05.600 --> 01:51:07.479 have kind of a dead spot on the side where 2078 01:51:07.520 --> 01:51:08.359 that old trunk was. 2079 01:51:08.479 --> 01:51:08.600 Right. 2080 01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:12.600 Yeah, but in time it will cover that over and 2081 01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:13.399 get strong. 2082 01:51:14.800 --> 01:51:15.760 Figure's worth a shot. 2083 01:51:15.800 --> 01:51:17.560 It's free, so I'll do what I do with it. 2084 01:51:18.159 --> 01:51:21.840 Hey can't beat that. I can't beat that. Like a 2085 01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:23.319 friend of mine used to say, can't beat that with 2086 01:51:23.439 --> 01:51:27.199 wet rope. I don't know what that means.

But it's so easy. 2141 01:54:18.479 --> 01:54:21.159 Swiss charred beats. Lots of things we want to grow 2142 01:54:21.199 --> 01:54:22.680 in the gardens. And I tell you this, When you 2143 01:54:22.760 --> 01:54:26.319 grow stuff yourself, you tend to eat it, and you 2144 01:54:26.439 --> 01:54:29.359 tend to be healthier. And if you have kids, that 2145 01:54:29.600 --> 01:54:33.880 is even more true. When kids grow their own vegetables, 2146 01:54:34.039 --> 01:54:37.479 they are much more likely to eat them, much more likely. 2147 01:54:37.560 --> 01:54:39.560 You know, you shove a piece of broccoli in front 2148 01:54:39.600 --> 01:54:41.000 of a kid and they go, what's that? I ain't 2149 01:54:41.000 --> 01:54:43.640 put not in my mouth? You know, and kids grow 2150 01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:45.880 up to think that way too. Hey, remember years, years 2151 01:54:45.920 --> 01:54:48.600 and years ago when the first Charge Bush was president, 2152 01:54:48.920 --> 01:54:51.760 he made some snide comment about broccoli one time. It 2153 01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:54.319 just kind of joking around, and I'm telling you, people 2154 01:54:54.359 --> 01:54:57.159 got upset. And there was a guy in a broccoli suit, 2155 01:54:57.239 --> 01:55:00.199 looked like a big gumby marching in front of the 2156 01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:02.880 White House protesting the fact that he had made a 2157 01:55:03.560 --> 01:55:06.840 dising comment about broccoli. Oh my gosh, is this the 2158 01:55:06.920 --> 01:55:10.800 first world problem or what? But anyway, when kids eat 2159 01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:14.039 their vegetables, you set them on a life of healthy eating. 2160 01:55:14.119 --> 01:55:16.760 They learn to appreciate that. I got a granddaughter and 2161 01:55:17.119 --> 01:55:19.760 the way my daughter and son and alive raised her. 2162 01:55:20.920 --> 01:55:23.840 They just don't feed her dunk food. And I the 2163 01:55:23.920 --> 01:55:26.039 other day she was visiting me and I was driving 2164 01:55:26.039 --> 01:55:28.560 around town. It was lunchtime. I thought, hey, I said, hey, 2165 01:55:28.560 --> 01:55:30.079 you want to grab something to eat? I think, and 2166 01:55:30.199 --> 01:55:31.640 she's going to go, yeah, I want to go to 2167 01:55:31.680 --> 01:55:34.680 get a burger or whatever. And she goes, you know 2168 01:55:34.760 --> 01:55:36.600 where we can get a salad and I looked at 2169 01:55:36.640 --> 01:55:40.520 her like, what is wrong with you? But good for her? 2170 01:55:41.399 --> 01:55:44.520 Our number one health problems in our country are due 2171 01:55:44.560 --> 01:55:48.479 to lack of moving around and exercise, and lack of 2172 01:55:48.600 --> 01:55:52.079 eating right, eating jump putting processed junk in our mouths. 2173 01:55:52.960 --> 01:55:55.239 Why not start your kids off right with a vegetableard. 2174 01:55:55.239 --> 01:55:57.880 All right, that's my pitch for vegetable gardening. You don't 2175 01:55:57.880 --> 01:55:59.840 want to dig up the backyard, that's fine, Get you 2176 01:56:00.039 --> 01:56:03.199 some five gallon containers. Plan in those. You can grow 2177 01:56:03.319 --> 01:56:05.159 anything you want to grow for fall in a five 2178 01:56:05.239 --> 01:56:08.279 gallon bucket or a nice beautiful urn if you want 2179 01:56:08.319 --> 01:56:11.840 to go that far. All right, Well, enough of me 2180 01:56:12.000 --> 01:56:15.560 joking around about that. Hey, Donald, Donald, welcome to garden line. 2181 01:56:15.640 --> 01:56:17.159 Good to have you with us. How can we help? 2182 01:56:18.319 --> 01:56:18.479 Oh? 2183 01:56:18.600 --> 01:56:23.840 Yeah, thank you. I've got a fifty fifty patch out 2184 01:56:23.920 --> 01:56:27.119 behind the house, killed up, the plant blue on it. 2185 01:56:27.880 --> 01:56:32.399 We have the seed. Yes, what's the there's a evidently 2186 01:56:32.479 --> 01:56:34.439 a bunch of different ways of scarf on the seeds. 2187 01:56:34.479 --> 01:56:35.479 But what do you recommend? 2188 01:56:35.960 --> 01:56:39.159 Yeah, Well, the simplest thing for a patch like that, 2189 01:56:39.319 --> 01:56:41.439 I'd get the seed, and I'd get some boiling hot 2190 01:56:41.479 --> 01:56:44.479 water and I would pour it over the seeds and 2191 01:56:44.640 --> 01:56:47.600 let it sit. Do it this afternoon, let it sit 2192 01:56:47.680 --> 01:56:50.520 all night, and in the morning pour off the water 2193 01:56:50.760 --> 01:56:52.399 and a lot of that water is going to already 2194 01:56:52.439 --> 01:56:55.199 be soaked into the seed and the germination process will 2195 01:56:55.239 --> 01:56:58.399 be triggered. Take the seeds out, roll them on a 2196 01:56:58.520 --> 01:57:00.920 napkin or something to get the xus water out so 2197 01:57:01.079 --> 01:57:03.319 it's easier to plant them. They don't stick to your hands. 2198 01:57:03.399 --> 01:57:06.239 Wet seeds stick to your hands. Scatter them out, rake 2199 01:57:06.319 --> 01:57:09.239 them in lightly and water them in well, and then 2200 01:57:09.359 --> 01:57:14.760 about every four to six days give it another watering, 2201 01:57:14.960 --> 01:57:17.800 another water, and keep them moist and that'll give them 2202 01:57:17.840 --> 01:57:20.119 the best chance of getting started. Once we get a rain, 2203 01:57:20.199 --> 01:57:22.119 you can kind of back off that, but we've got 2204 01:57:22.239 --> 01:57:24.119 to go through that gener nation where it's kind of 2205 01:57:24.199 --> 01:57:24.640 touch and go. 2206 01:57:26.079 --> 01:57:27.359 Yeah, sir, thank you very much. 2207 01:57:28.680 --> 01:57:30.640 You bet, Thanks for the call, and good luck with that. 2208 01:57:30.840 --> 01:57:32.720 Send me a picture when you when you get that 2209 01:57:33.720 --> 01:57:36.079 blue bennet patch up next year.

We got some folks on the board. 2269 02:00:58.800 --> 02:01:00.119 We're going to jump to here, and just one one 2270 02:01:00.199 --> 02:01:03.079 second first, I wanted to mention to you if you're 2271 02:01:03.119 --> 02:01:07.439 doing fall transplanting of anything, and you really should be. 2272 02:01:07.560 --> 02:01:10.600 I'm talking about putting broccoli transplants in a vegetable garden. 2273 02:01:10.640 --> 02:01:12.960 I'm talking about putting flowers in a flower bed. I'm 2274 02:01:13.000 --> 02:01:16.680 talking about annuals and perennials and shrubs and trees, and herbs, 2275 02:01:16.760 --> 02:01:19.319 all that stuff you need to get you a jar 2276 02:01:19.560 --> 02:01:23.520 of Nutristar Genesis. Nutri Star Genesis is a natural plant 2277 02:01:23.560 --> 02:01:27.560 food that is loaded with micoriza, beneficial bacteria and other fungi. 2278 02:01:28.079 --> 02:01:31.039 You mix it into the soil when you transplant. Now, 2279 02:01:31.119 --> 02:01:33.680 normally I'll tell you don't put a salt based fertilizer 2280 02:01:33.760 --> 02:01:35.720 in the hold and then sit roots right on top 2281 02:01:35.760 --> 02:01:38.119 of it. You can burn roots that way, but when 2282 02:01:38.159 --> 02:01:40.359 nutristar genesis, you just mix it in the soil. You're 2283 02:01:40.399 --> 02:01:43.239 not can burn anything. And when those plant roots start out, 2284 02:01:43.399 --> 02:01:46.439 it is all the good stuff that they need, nutrients 2285 02:01:46.720 --> 02:01:50.359 and all the other microbial things that are very important 2286 02:01:50.680 --> 02:01:54.760 for your plants. I used it for transplanting tomato plants 2287 02:01:54.880 --> 02:01:57.520 last spring when I was working on Oh my gosh, 2288 02:01:57.800 --> 02:01:59.640 the way they jumped out of the ground once those 2289 02:01:59.680 --> 02:02:04.239 roots that genesis. It was crazy excellent, excellent product. So 2290 02:02:04.479 --> 02:02:08.600 you're going to put an apple, apple tree, a peach tree, 2291 02:02:08.840 --> 02:02:15.760 a rosebush, perennial herbs, you're going to put some something 2292 02:02:15.840 --> 02:02:20.119 like rosemary in the ground or anything. Get some Nutristar Genesis. 2293 02:02:20.239 --> 02:02:22.199 It comes in a clear jar with a screw top lid. 2294 02:02:22.439 --> 02:02:25.439 Easy to use. It goes a long way, and it works. 2295 02:02:26.039 --> 02:02:30.640 It works from Nelson neutrastar genesis. For all your transplanting 2296 02:02:30.840 --> 02:02:34.439 in the ground in containers, whatever you're doing, you need 2297 02:02:34.520 --> 02:02:36.279 to get that in the soil so the new roots 2298 02:02:36.640 --> 02:02:40.479 have some good stuff to work with. I'm going to 2299 02:02:40.560 --> 02:02:43.439 head out to Houston now and talk to Scott. Hello Scott, 2300 02:02:43.479 --> 02:02:44.520 and welcome to garden Line. 2301 02:02:45.600 --> 02:02:47.720 Hey, good morning, Skip. Thanks for taking my call. 2302 02:02:47.840 --> 02:02:48.439 I appreciate it. 2303 02:02:49.760 --> 02:02:54.479 Yes, I had been following the yard schedule religiously and 2304 02:02:54.640 --> 02:02:56.840 it works perfectly. I've got the best grass in the 2305 02:02:57.000 --> 02:03:00.840 entire neighborhood. But I've got one problem. I've got mutigrass 2306 02:03:01.399 --> 02:03:04.840 that is creeping into my Saint Augustine. And back in 2307 02:03:04.920 --> 02:03:08.960 May I sprayed some liquid achazine on it, the liquid type, 2308 02:03:10.079 --> 02:03:12.680 just to diminish the health of the bermuda, to get 2309 02:03:12.720 --> 02:03:15.159 it to get the Saint Augustine to take over. It 2310 02:03:15.279 --> 02:03:18.039 didn't work as well as what I wanted. But there's 2311 02:03:18.079 --> 02:03:21.319 a new product that has come to market. It's made 2312 02:03:21.359 --> 02:03:24.920 by Syngenta and it's called Recognition, and then it also 2313 02:03:25.000 --> 02:03:27.760 comes with a thing of fuselade too, and it's this 2314 02:03:27.920 --> 02:03:31.800 post emergent herbicide that they swear will not harm the 2315 02:03:31.840 --> 02:03:34.279 Saint Augustine and will work, but it's not cheap. So 2316 02:03:34.319 --> 02:03:36.000 I wanted to get your thoughts on it because it's 2317 02:03:36.000 --> 02:03:38.359 anywhere from two to four hundred bucks for this. Then 2318 02:03:38.399 --> 02:03:39.760 I just wanted to get your thoughts and se if 2319 02:03:39.800 --> 02:03:40.960 you had any experience with it. 2320 02:03:42.239 --> 02:03:44.359 Yeah, I don't talk about it on the air in 2321 02:03:44.520 --> 02:03:47.560 general myself, no problem with you bringing it up. I 2322 02:03:47.600 --> 02:03:50.479 don't talk about it because it is a huge It's 2323 02:03:50.520 --> 02:03:52.920 a quantity that if you had like ten neighbors that 2324 02:03:53.000 --> 02:03:55.640 got together and I wanted to do it, it would 2325 02:03:55.680 --> 02:03:58.479 come down to an affordable price and it would cover 2326 02:03:58.560 --> 02:04:01.039 every by yard, and so it's not practical for most 2327 02:04:01.079 --> 02:04:03.920 own people. That is the only spray solution to the 2328 02:04:03.960 --> 02:04:06.800 bermuda in Saint Augustine to get rid of the bermuda, 2329 02:04:06.880 --> 02:04:09.600 but not the Saint Augustine. And you got to follow 2330 02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:14.199 that very carefully, very carefully. A lot of professional landscapers 2331 02:04:14.279 --> 02:04:17.279 don't even know about it, but yep, that's out there 2332 02:04:17.359 --> 02:04:18.479 now other. 2333 02:04:18.479 --> 02:04:23.039 Than readly available recently, and now it's now I'm able 2334 02:04:23.119 --> 02:04:24.640 to get it. So I just wanted to get your 2335 02:04:24.680 --> 02:04:26.920 thoughts on it. But I thank you for telling me 2336 02:04:27.520 --> 02:04:30.000 that it does work, and I might give it a 2337 02:04:30.119 --> 02:04:30.840 try here. 2338 02:04:31.640 --> 02:04:35.319 Yeah, it can work if you know any other people 2339 02:04:35.479 --> 02:04:38.439 that need to do it in their lawns and get 2340 02:04:38.479 --> 02:04:40.000 them to split it with you, because like I said, 2341 02:04:40.039 --> 02:04:44.720 it's well, you know how expensive it is anyway. The 2342 02:04:44.840 --> 02:04:47.439 only other thing other than that is, you know, we 2343 02:04:49.560 --> 02:04:52.079 usually people either live with the two together mixed in 2344 02:04:52.159 --> 02:04:57.520 the lawn. There's actually three solutions to it. That's one, 2345 02:04:57.880 --> 02:05:00.159 and I don't talk about that for the obviously, and 2346 02:05:00.319 --> 02:05:03.479 this is not practical for most people. Another is there's 2347 02:05:03.520 --> 02:05:07.039 a type of Saint Augustine that doesn't that you can 2348 02:05:07.079 --> 02:05:09.359 spray things that kill bermuda and it doesn't kill the 2349 02:05:09.399 --> 02:05:12.359 Saint Augustine. It's a it's a variety that's out there 2350 02:05:12.439 --> 02:05:14.760 that pretty much very few people have right now. 2351 02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:16.520 I don't have that. 2352 02:05:18.800 --> 02:05:20.239 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Raley. 2353 02:05:20.439 --> 02:05:20.600 Yeah. 2354 02:05:21.039 --> 02:05:21.159 Uh. 2355 02:05:21.479 --> 02:05:25.039 The other thing is is to kill everything and replant. 2356 02:05:25.239 --> 02:05:27.399 And and I've been telling people if you do that, 2357 02:05:27.560 --> 02:05:29.600 you better wait because you think you killed all the 2358 02:05:29.640 --> 02:05:32.359 bermuda and here comes the sprouts some back out of 2359 02:05:32.399 --> 02:05:34.680 the ground. Do it again, maybe a third time, just 2360 02:05:34.760 --> 02:05:36.079 to make sure you get it all out, or you 2361 02:05:36.199 --> 02:05:37.880 just end up being back where you started. 2362 02:05:38.920 --> 02:05:41.039 Yeah, they kill till phill and saw. 2363 02:05:41.119 --> 02:05:43.359 It seems like that much more work when I compare 2364 02:05:43.399 --> 02:05:45.960 it to the two hundred bucks at the four hundred, 2365 02:05:46.039 --> 02:05:47.840 I'm like, I don't know what may. 2366 02:05:51.359 --> 02:05:53.439 Can I get you to do? Can I get you 2367 02:05:53.479 --> 02:05:55.800 to do me a favor? Scott? I'm gonna put you 2368 02:05:55.920 --> 02:05:57.800 on hold and get my producer to give you my 2369 02:05:57.920 --> 02:05:59.800 email address. I don't want to talk about this on 2370 02:05:59.880 --> 02:06:03.119 the air, but I'd like to know where you found 2371 02:06:03.760 --> 02:06:07.760 what you found, because that stuff was pretty hard to 2372 02:06:07.800 --> 02:06:10.600 get for a while. And anyway, if you're just an 2373 02:06:10.640 --> 02:06:13.079 email just just with that information, i'd appreciate it. 2374 02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:15.720 You bet, I will do it.

Yes, yeah, yeah, 2521 02:13:26.920 --> 02:13:29.600 so they're okay. I don't know if this will work, 2522 02:13:30.359 --> 02:13:33.680 but the only spray that I know of to try 2523 02:13:34.000 --> 02:13:38.399 is something containing trichlope here t r I c l 2524 02:13:38.560 --> 02:13:42.239 O p y R. I have never tried to poison 2525 02:13:42.359 --> 02:13:43.079 a se palm. 2526 02:13:43.680 --> 02:13:47.279 I just have, but I would that work. 2527 02:13:48.760 --> 02:13:49.920 Oh, it's just it's ugly. 2528 02:13:50.680 --> 02:13:52.680 I mean that's how I did my bananas and the 2529 02:13:52.880 --> 02:13:54.199 stupid Yeah. 2530 02:13:55.119 --> 02:13:58.760 Yeah, this is more of almost a woody shrub. If 2531 02:13:58.800 --> 02:14:01.439 you if you rate some tricle peer on it, don't 2532 02:14:01.479 --> 02:14:04.800 get it on anything desirable because it kills broad leaf 2533 02:14:04.960 --> 02:14:08.680 period flowers and shrubs and trees and whatnot. But just 2534 02:14:08.720 --> 02:14:11.239 spread it on the or uh the way we use 2535 02:14:11.319 --> 02:14:14.039 tricle pier in weeds, like you got hackberries and fence 2536 02:14:14.119 --> 02:14:16.600 lines and stuff. You just cut them off and you 2537 02:14:16.920 --> 02:14:19.720 you dab the product on the fresh cut. Just dab 2538 02:14:19.800 --> 02:14:22.199 it right on that fresh cut and you don't have 2539 02:14:22.239 --> 02:14:24.199 to spray it at all. So if you could break 2540 02:14:24.279 --> 02:14:26.840 off a pup and dab it on that wound in there, 2541 02:14:27.319 --> 02:14:30.640 I might try that and see if that works. Again, 2542 02:14:31.079 --> 02:14:33.199 I'm not saying it'll work, because I've never tried to 2543 02:14:33.279 --> 02:14:41.199 kill a track a h A, yeah, tracle palm, whatever 2544 02:14:42.000 --> 02:14:44.920 you try, if it works, I'd like to know. I'd 2545 02:14:45.039 --> 02:14:47.159 like to know because I may run into someone else 2546 02:14:48.039 --> 02:14:50.119 whose wife doesn't want them tearing up the front of 2547 02:14:50.159 --> 02:14:50.560 the house. 2548 02:14:51.760 --> 02:14:53.680 You know, That's why I called you boss. 2549 02:14:55.239 --> 02:15:00.920 Okay, Well, thanks for the I appreciate it.

So I would 2741 02:24:34.600 --> 02:24:35.920 go there and I would talk to them, and they 2742 02:24:36.040 --> 02:24:39.040 do carry free trees they have. I saw blueberries out 2743 02:24:39.040 --> 02:24:40.920 there the other day, and I was trying to think 2744 02:24:41.000 --> 02:24:43.399 of what else I did I notice. I was walking around, 2745 02:24:43.479 --> 02:24:45.280 just kind of getting a lay of the land. They're 2746 02:24:45.360 --> 02:24:47.799 probably going to be getting some others in, so you 2747 02:24:47.879 --> 02:24:50.399 may want to give them a call or just stop 2748 02:24:50.479 --> 02:24:53.879 in either way, but find out what they're getting and 2749 02:24:54.040 --> 02:24:57.399 when so you can and maybe you know it may 2750 02:24:57.440 --> 02:25:00.319 be that they can order for you depend on what 2751 02:25:00.399 --> 02:25:02.680 the plan is.

We're going to go run 2763 02:25:32.239 --> 02:25:35.680 now to Mike and let's see here if I can 2764 02:25:35.760 --> 02:25:38.200 find the right button. Hey, Mike, welcome to garden Line. 2765 02:25:39.479 --> 02:25:42.159 Good morning, Skip real quick, I'd like to know how 2766 02:25:42.200 --> 02:25:44.799 to get rid of a ever growing or increasing in 2767 02:25:44.920 --> 02:25:48.639 size clump of bamboo cane out behind my garage. It's 2768 02:25:48.680 --> 02:25:50.600 been there for years. I cut it back. It seems 2769 02:25:50.600 --> 02:25:52.120 the more I cut it, the bigger the ball of 2770 02:25:52.200 --> 02:25:52.639 it gets. 2771 02:25:53.959 --> 02:25:57.280 Yeah, so it's a clump, not a running bamboo. 2772 02:25:57.639 --> 02:26:00.920 That's now it's just one big giant clump. But it's 2773 02:26:00.959 --> 02:26:03.000 got it's gotten big. I mean it started out as 2774 02:26:03.040 --> 02:26:05.639 maybe a putting around, a put a half around, and 2775 02:26:05.680 --> 02:26:07.120 now how you've got four feet around? 2776 02:26:08.559 --> 02:26:13.959 Okay. If you go online to my website Gardening with 2777 02:26:14.520 --> 02:26:18.159 Skip dot com, there's a publication it's called Herbicides for 2778 02:26:18.239 --> 02:26:22.120 Skips weed wiper. But it's not just for the weed wiper, 2779 02:26:22.879 --> 02:26:28.639 but it has by type of plant, which ingredients and 2780 02:26:28.920 --> 02:26:31.799 then there's a list of products for that ingredient that 2781 02:26:31.879 --> 02:26:35.760 you would get retail. You want a grass killer or 2782 02:26:35.840 --> 02:26:42.360 you want to use glyphosate on those plants. Now, grass 2783 02:26:42.440 --> 02:26:46.920 killers kill any grass, bamboos of grass. The glyphosate kills 2784 02:26:46.959 --> 02:26:49.600 any plant in bamboos a plant, but don't get it 2785 02:26:49.680 --> 02:26:52.959 on anything desirable. If when the shoots are coming up, 2786 02:26:53.399 --> 02:26:57.559 you can wipe them with herbicide using my weed wiper. 2787 02:26:57.559 --> 02:26:58.879 It shows you how to make one if you want 2788 02:26:58.920 --> 02:27:01.799 to do that, or just spray the foliage and just 2789 02:27:01.879 --> 02:27:04.280 stay with it. And if the bamboo needs to be 2790 02:27:04.399 --> 02:27:08.280 actively growing for it to be effective. But those products 2791 02:27:08.319 --> 02:27:11.079 will be effective, but you might start by, you know, 2792 02:27:11.200 --> 02:27:14.559 cutting it all back to the ground again and when 2793 02:27:14.600 --> 02:27:17.559 the new growth comes out, after it gets a foot 2794 02:27:17.680 --> 02:27:19.840 or so high, you got some leaves to work with, 2795 02:27:20.120 --> 02:27:22.159 begin to apply those to it and you just have 2796 02:27:22.280 --> 02:27:24.479 to stay with it. It's got a ton of storage 2797 02:27:24.840 --> 02:27:28.360 capacity underground, so one little application is not going to 2798 02:27:28.440 --> 02:27:30.760 get rid of it. All you got to. You gotta 2799 02:27:30.879 --> 02:27:32.840 kind of knock it back and then knock it back again. 2800 02:27:34.040 --> 02:27:36.760 Okay, Well, thank you very much. I enjoy your show, 2801 02:27:36.760 --> 02:27:37.680 and you've been very helpful. 2802 02:27:39.120 --> 02:27:41.639 All right. You know, if you knew what kind you had, 2803 02:27:42.120 --> 02:27:44.040 I bet there's some gardeners that come dig it up 2804 02:27:44.079 --> 02:27:47.319 for you. A lot of people won't get this thing 2805 02:27:47.399 --> 02:27:54.079 out of it. That's right, all right, man, I'm just 2806 02:27:54.159 --> 02:27:55.840 trying to make you a few bucks. Got to buy 2807 02:27:55.879 --> 02:28:01.680 those Christmas you might enjoy its. Thanks for the call. 2808 02:28:03.120 --> 02:28:08.760 That's it. Yeah, there you go. You do need tobacco.

One of them 2811 02:28:14.200 --> 02:28:16.040 is crying thems too. If you've ever tried to dig 2812 02:28:16.159 --> 02:28:18.600 up a crinum, it'll kill you. All right, time for 2813 02:28:18.680 --> 02:28:20.920 take a break.

We always appreciate 2816 02:28:24.479 --> 02:28:26.399 having folks listen. I know I've got a lot of 2817 02:28:26.440 --> 02:28:28.840 shy folks out there that listen but won't call in. 2818 02:28:29.280 --> 02:28:32.319 I know that you should should call in, should ask 2819 02:28:32.399 --> 02:28:35.239 your questions if you If you got a question, other 2820 02:28:35.319 --> 02:28:38.840 people will too, and we will treat it with respect 2821 02:28:39.000 --> 02:28:41.000 and make sure you get a good answer. That's how 2822 02:28:41.079 --> 02:28:44.600 this works, all right. Well, gosh, there's so many things 2823 02:28:44.639 --> 02:28:46.200 to talk about. I'm trying to figure out what to 2824 02:28:46.280 --> 02:28:48.239 do with our last bit of the time here today. 2825 02:28:48.760 --> 02:28:50.879 First of all, I want to tell you about some 2826 02:28:51.040 --> 02:28:54.920 of the liquid products for Microlife because falls for planting 2827 02:28:55.520 --> 02:28:57.879 and when you put a plant in the ground, to 2828 02:28:58.040 --> 02:28:59.879 drench it in, to water it in with a good 2829 02:29:00.159 --> 02:29:02.639 quality product, it really helps. 2830 02:29:03.479 --> 02:29:03.639 Now. 2831 02:29:03.959 --> 02:29:07.680 I like the Biomatrix that's an orange label, orange label. 2832 02:29:08.000 --> 02:29:10.280 It's a seven to one to three fertilizer. I use 2833 02:29:10.319 --> 02:29:12.360 it for my indoor plants, and I can use it 2834 02:29:12.440 --> 02:29:14.559 for outdoor plants too. It works good for that as well. 2835 02:29:15.360 --> 02:29:18.120 There is a couple of products though, that I think 2836 02:29:18.200 --> 02:29:22.360 you should consider when when you're watering a new plant in, 2837 02:29:22.719 --> 02:29:26.719 things like the Microlife super Seaweed, the Microlife Ocean Harvest, 2838 02:29:27.319 --> 02:29:32.559 the Microlife Liquid Humtes plus those are all excellent products 2839 02:29:32.879 --> 02:29:34.559 for watering a new plant. 2840 02:29:34.639 --> 02:29:34.680 In. 2841 02:29:35.040 --> 02:29:37.600 They've got one now in a court bottle called Microlife 2842 02:29:37.680 --> 02:29:40.520 Soil and Plant Energy, and it is a very effective product. 2843 02:29:40.840 --> 02:29:44.120 It's a liquid and it provides the things that are 2844 02:29:44.200 --> 02:29:49.159 necessary in the soil so that plant can produce success. 2845 02:29:49.639 --> 02:29:52.600 That includes bigger that includes roots, that includes flowers or 2846 02:29:52.600 --> 02:29:55.559 fruit or whatever you need.

I like 2851 02:30:06.639 --> 02:30:10.000 also their Microlife Humic Acid Complex. It's got humic acid 2852 02:30:10.079 --> 02:30:13.360 and fulvic acid in it. And then the micro Grow 2853 02:30:13.600 --> 02:30:15.959 liquid ap Do you hear how many products these are. 2854 02:30:16.079 --> 02:30:18.719 They're all from Microlife.

In fact, 2857 02:30:26.719 --> 02:30:30.159 they're widely available for outside of our area as well. 2858 02:30:30.719 --> 02:30:33.959 But Microlife products work, and we talk a lot about 2859 02:30:34.000 --> 02:30:36.879 the dry product, you know, the sixty four for summer 2860 02:30:36.920 --> 02:30:40.760 fertilizing the lawn, the brown patch for fall fertilizing the 2861 02:30:40.799 --> 02:30:44.120 bioinoculant that I keep recommending to you for adding to 2862 02:30:44.280 --> 02:30:49.639 the brown patch to give better biological activity on the 2863 02:30:49.719 --> 02:30:53.079 grass plant and around the root system for better success. 2864 02:30:53.559 --> 02:30:56.879 Those are all there. But try some of these liquid products. 2865 02:30:56.920 --> 02:30:59.600 They work well. Just keep them on hand. Anytime you're 2866 02:30:59.600 --> 02:31:02.360 doing any thing for your plans, give them a boost 2867 02:31:02.399 --> 02:31:04.879 of that, and you're going to find good success. That's 2868 02:31:04.920 --> 02:31:09.000 how that works. Our phone number seven one three two 2869 02:31:09.040 --> 02:31:12.559 one two five eight seven four or seven one three 2870 02:31:12.639 --> 02:31:15.440 two one two KTRH. If that makes it a little 2871 02:31:15.520 --> 02:31:17.840 easier for you. Now, I usually say this at the 2872 02:31:17.959 --> 02:31:20.360 end of the show, and that is that people wait 2873 02:31:20.479 --> 02:31:22.280 to call until the last minute and then you can't 2874 02:31:22.280 --> 02:31:24.319 get in. I actually have an open board right now 2875 02:31:24.360 --> 02:31:27.040 and I got about room for two calls probably, So 2876 02:31:27.079 --> 02:31:28.760 if you like to give us a call and have 2877 02:31:28.879 --> 02:31:31.479 a question, we could still do that. And if den 2878 02:31:31.559 --> 02:31:35.479 calls occur, well, good luck. We'll just we'll just go 2879 02:31:35.639 --> 02:31:38.360 with it that way. I wanted to mention a couple 2880 02:31:38.399 --> 02:31:41.760 of other things about the fall season that we're entering. 2881 02:31:42.159 --> 02:31:44.719 The season we are we are. We're waiting for the 2882 02:31:44.799 --> 02:31:46.719 call front to hit. But if you look at the calendar. 2883 02:31:46.799 --> 02:31:48.920 It's fall, and we got to go by the calendar 2884 02:31:49.040 --> 02:31:52.520 because you never know when when we're entering the fall season. 2885 02:31:53.239 --> 02:31:55.840 I would encourage you to think about it as a 2886 02:31:56.000 --> 02:31:59.719 time to plan your renovations. You know, we've had another 2887 02:31:59.799 --> 02:32:03.120 one of those summers that takes its toll on our plants. 2888 02:32:03.600 --> 02:32:06.840 Absolutely takes a toll on our plants. And when we 2889 02:32:06.959 --> 02:32:09.200 have that kind of thing, you can walk around right now, 2890 02:32:09.280 --> 02:32:11.479 maybe this morning, get out there, walk around a little bit, 2891 02:32:11.840 --> 02:32:15.440 a cup of coffee in your hand, and take a look. 2892 02:32:15.719 --> 02:32:18.680 See what you see. Where's the lawn struggling. Maybe it's 2893 02:32:18.719 --> 02:32:21.959 an area that you just can't water really well and 2894 02:32:22.319 --> 02:32:25.840 it's struggling there. Maybe something else needs to be put there. 2895 02:32:26.200 --> 02:32:28.120 Maybe you got a plant that's in too much shade 2896 02:32:28.520 --> 02:32:32.680 or too much sun that's struggling. Maybe you look at 2897 02:32:32.719 --> 02:32:35.680 your landscape and it's like, that's a sea of green. 2898 02:32:35.879 --> 02:32:39.040 I mean green's pretty, but green, green and green. How 2899 02:32:39.079 --> 02:32:41.520 about some other colors? What could we do there? What 2900 02:32:41.600 --> 02:32:44.079 would be a fall blooming plant that would be blooming 2901 02:32:44.239 --> 02:32:47.239 right now in the next couple now, in the coming month, 2902 02:32:48.239 --> 02:32:51.479 that would go good there? Do that landscape planning, because 2903 02:32:51.600 --> 02:32:55.319 fall is for planning. Whether you plant it this month 2904 02:32:55.600 --> 02:32:58.239 or next month, or even if you wait till spring. 2905 02:32:58.959 --> 02:33:01.399 Now's a good time because now shows you the truth. 2906 02:33:01.639 --> 02:33:06.000 You know, this is when the ugly tends to be out. 2907 02:33:06.120 --> 02:33:09.879 The end of summer. Our landscapes are tired. The landscapers 2908 02:33:09.920 --> 02:33:13.360 are tired. We're hiding inside in the air conditioning, and 2909 02:33:13.399 --> 02:33:15.280 our plants are screaming for us to get out there 2910 02:33:15.319 --> 02:33:19.200 and water. Now's a good time to look because it 2911 02:33:19.399 --> 02:33:22.639 gives you a chance to determine what needs to be done. 2912 02:33:23.000 --> 02:33:25.639 What would I like to change, And we always need 2913 02:33:25.719 --> 02:33:28.840 to be changing our plants, you know. Inside the house, 2914 02:33:29.120 --> 02:33:31.760 you know, people occasionally repaint, I don't know. They may 2915 02:33:31.840 --> 02:33:34.600 redo the furniture, put new drapes in or something like that, 2916 02:33:35.000 --> 02:33:37.520 just to kind of spruce it up, make it look better, 2917 02:33:37.719 --> 02:33:39.479 or just have a change. You know, do you still 2918 02:33:39.520 --> 02:33:44.680 have those avocado colored appliances from nineteen seventies. It's time 2919 02:33:44.760 --> 02:33:47.639 to change. The same is true in your landscape. Get 2920 02:33:47.719 --> 02:33:51.319 out and check it out. Drive around towns, notice what 2921 02:33:51.479 --> 02:33:54.559 you like. Go to a botanical garden it's beautiful, and 2922 02:33:54.719 --> 02:33:58.239 get ideas. But mainly just walk around. Stand out at 2923 02:33:58.319 --> 02:34:01.200 the street. You don't live at that house, at your house, 2924 02:34:01.280 --> 02:34:03.399 but pretend you don't live there. You just drove up 2925 02:34:03.440 --> 02:34:07.159 and looked what could be improved on? What could be 2926 02:34:07.200 --> 02:34:09.559 improved by walk out in the backyard. You know, yeah, 2927 02:34:09.559 --> 02:34:11.479 I haven't been out here because it's so blazing hot 2928 02:34:11.559 --> 02:34:14.600 this summer. Okay, how about a trellis over that patio 2929 02:34:14.719 --> 02:34:17.600 with a vine on it. Maybe a trellis with grapes 2930 02:34:17.680 --> 02:34:21.520 on it, that's kind of cool that western wall. Go 2931 02:34:21.639 --> 02:34:23.879 out and let's see do this. Go ahead at seven 2932 02:34:23.879 --> 02:34:25.920 o'clock at night, put your hand on the western wall 2933 02:34:25.959 --> 02:34:28.680 to your house and feel how hot it is. That 2934 02:34:28.840 --> 02:34:32.040 heat is radiating back into your house into the early 2935 02:34:32.159 --> 02:34:36.360 evening hours, and you're paying air conditioning money to overcome it. 2936 02:34:37.040 --> 02:34:39.520 How about a vine, a trellis and a vine to 2937 02:34:39.639 --> 02:34:42.159 shade that western wall, or maybe plant a tree there 2938 02:34:42.479 --> 02:34:44.040 that can provide you that shange. Do you see what 2939 02:34:44.079 --> 02:34:47.200 I'm talking about. I'm talking about getting out and planning, 2940 02:34:48.600 --> 02:34:51.760 thinking about what would be better, what would look better. 2941 02:34:52.159 --> 02:34:56.079 Maybe you got an area that's really a maintenance headache. 2942 02:34:56.280 --> 02:35:00.280 It just is for whatever reason. How about changing that plan? 2943 02:35:00.520 --> 02:35:03.399 How about doing something different there that is lower maintenance. 2944 02:35:03.440 --> 02:35:06.719 You should always landscape with maintenance and mind. Among your 2945 02:35:06.760 --> 02:35:10.280 other things, among the beauty and aesthetics, maintenance is a 2946 02:35:10.319 --> 02:35:14.639 big deal. I do not create right angles in my 2947 02:35:14.799 --> 02:35:18.520 lawn anymore. Quit doing that long time ago. Right angles. 2948 02:35:18.559 --> 02:35:20.399 You run the lawn more up to them, and then 2949 02:35:20.440 --> 02:35:22.680 you got to back up and try to go sideways down. 2950 02:35:23.399 --> 02:35:25.920 A nice smooth curve that you can mow around is 2951 02:35:26.000 --> 02:35:30.000 so much easier. It's a simple little maintenance trick that 2952 02:35:30.159 --> 02:35:33.920 works really really well. Look at the weeds. If you 2953 02:35:34.000 --> 02:35:37.559 got weeds, chances are you don't have good mulch cover. Now, 2954 02:35:37.600 --> 02:35:39.399 there's some weeds that grow through maults, and that said 2955 02:35:39.479 --> 02:35:42.639 bermuda grass grows through maults. But a lot of weeds 2956 02:35:42.760 --> 02:35:45.200 are because we let sunlight hit the soil. Look at 2957 02:35:45.239 --> 02:35:46.760 your lawn. Do you have weedy areas? 2958 02:35:47.200 --> 02:35:47.520 All? Right? 2959 02:35:47.639 --> 02:35:47.799 There? 2960 02:35:47.840 --> 02:35:50.879 You go fall fertilizer. Let's get that thing strong. And 2961 02:35:51.079 --> 02:35:53.879 next year you're going to mow, water and fertilize regularly, 2962 02:35:53.959 --> 02:35:56.040 and your lawn's going to be sedentsa weeds. He doesn't 2963 02:35:56.040 --> 02:35:59.440 have a chance, not a chance, because he can't get sunlight. 2964 02:36:00.639 --> 02:36:04.559 Simple tip, simple topics, simple ideas, simple tricks, simple things 2965 02:36:04.639 --> 02:36:09.600 to check, and let's make gardening more successful and more fun. Now, 2966 02:36:09.680 --> 02:36:13.399 how about the fall garden. What have you not grown 2967 02:36:13.520 --> 02:36:16.719 before that you might want to try? The fall garden 2968 02:36:17.120 --> 02:36:24.840 is green season greens like kale, and collars like lettuce 2969 02:36:25.159 --> 02:36:31.079 and spinach, like a regular with its nutty flavor, like sorel, 2970 02:36:31.239 --> 02:36:34.440 which it's with its lemony flavors. Those are all cool 2971 02:36:34.479 --> 02:36:37.360 season greens. They do really really well here. How about 2972 02:36:37.399 --> 02:36:39.399 some of the Asian greens. Oh my gosh, there's so 2973 02:36:39.479 --> 02:36:41.920 many good ones. Bock Choys about as easy as you 2974 02:36:42.000 --> 02:36:44.959 can get. You just can't beat back choice. There's another 2975 02:36:45.000 --> 02:36:49.479 one called chi jemsi. Oh boy, that's a long word. 2976 02:36:49.680 --> 02:36:52.600 C h I j I m I s A. If 2977 02:36:52.600 --> 02:36:55.680 you don't get that, listen to the podcast g GMSI 2978 02:36:55.920 --> 02:36:59.000 is mild. It's not so mustardy as some Asian grands are. 2979 02:36:59.079 --> 02:37:01.920 It's wonderful. If you're never grown it for the why 2980 02:37:02.000 --> 02:37:04.079 not try it. If you don't like it, that's okay, 2981 02:37:04.280 --> 02:37:07.280 But what if you do. It's a new thing to 2982 02:37:07.360 --> 02:37:09.559 add to your salads, to add zip and flavor and 2983 02:37:09.639 --> 02:37:14.440 interest new. Try something new. What rows would you like 2984 02:37:14.520 --> 02:37:16.280 to have? You got a sunny spot for it, or 2985 02:37:16.319 --> 02:37:18.959 a large large container you can grow a smaller rose in. 2986 02:37:19.719 --> 02:37:22.159 Try one of those this fall. I guess what I'm 2987 02:37:22.239 --> 02:37:25.079 saying is, let's get out and have fun. Use your imagination. 2988 02:37:25.520 --> 02:37:28.040 You know, if we wait until fall for blooming plants, 2989 02:37:28.079 --> 02:37:29.879 well we should have planted them before so we could 2990 02:37:29.959 --> 02:37:33.120 enjoy them in the fall. That's the idea. Hey, next Saturday, 2991 02:37:33.319 --> 02:37:37.399 Enchanted Forest one thirty or eleven thirty to one thirty. 2992 02:37:37.520 --> 02:37:37.840 Be there.
