WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:04.599 Welcome to Katie r h Garden Line with Scared Rict. 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:20.079 It's the crazy watch a trim, just watch him as 3 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.359 so many good things to set by. 4 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.799 Hey, welcome, welcome, Welcome back to garden Line. It's good 5 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.000 to be back this weekend. We got plenty of things 6 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.280 to talk about, as always with gardening. You know that's 7 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.359 a nice thing about gardening. There is always something to 8 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.840 talk about. I mean, if you only own some fruit trees, 9 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.000 we got something to talk about every day. If you 10 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.399 only own a couple of herb plants or a couple 11 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.880 of houseplants, we got something to talk about. Gardening is 12 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.759 twelve months out of the year, three sixty five and 13 00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.679 twenty four hours a day. If you want, we always 14 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.320 have something that is pertinent. We're going to talk about 15 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.960 some of those things today. I'm gonna talk a little 16 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.920 bit about pre emergent herbicides, so stay tuned for that. 17 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.799 We're going to go into a little bit of a 18 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.439 detail on that. I've had a lot of questions about 19 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:20.000 pre emergence recently, and you know, it's important to get 20 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.000 these things right because think of the pesticides we apply 21 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.599 in sexicides, funch sides, herbicides, all of that. Think of 22 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.319 it is like medicine. And in terms of dosing in things, right, 23 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.079 I mean, you've got you take too much, it's not good. 24 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.920 You don't take enough, it doesn't help. You don't follow 25 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.280 the instructions on the prescribed medications, and you're probably going 26 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.719 to get into troubles. And that is the way it 27 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.040 is with any kind of product that we put on 28 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.719 our plants, for insects, diseases, weeds, even fertilizers. Misapplication can 29 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.959 cause problems. So we'll talk about that a little bit 30 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.840 more in a bit. So just kind of stay tuned 31 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.840 right now. Now, I wanted to tell you that the 32 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.280 gate is wide open on getting some pre emergent fertilizers 33 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.919 out there. It is important that we apply them at 34 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.360 the right time and our If you look at my 35 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:16.800 schedule at gardening with Skip dot com, you'll see October 36 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.719 is the big month for doing that. Now. The idea 37 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.879 is to get it ahead of times. So I'm saying 38 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.159 I'm turning things loose here at the very end of September. 39 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.120 If you want to put one out, especially those of 40 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.879 you who live further north. It's a little cooler for 41 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.879 the north, just a few degrees than it is all 42 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.080 the way south you go to Galaston, for example, or 43 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.520 other areas south. And so, you know, we when I'm 44 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.039 saying on a radio show that goes from Huntsville down 45 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.879 to the coast and then down Corpus over to really 46 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.960 the edge of Austin and over the Louisiana border, you 47 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.919 know saying, well, now is the time. It's kind of 48 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.479 that's a little bit of a range. But I'll tell 49 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.680 you this. For those of you in a little cooler 50 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.560 parts of the zone, now is absolutely the time. And 51 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.199 for those of your further south, if you want to 52 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.400 get it done a little early, you can. And here's 53 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.159 why those products last. I talk about barricade all the time, 54 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.840 and barricade it's not like it's just going to work 55 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.159 for a few weeks. It's going to be around. And 56 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.319 so if you want to go a little earlier on it, 57 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.840 you can. It's a little earlier. Maybe then you need 58 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.680 to in the warmest parts of the area, but you 59 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.560 never know what the weather. That's the thing. Weed seeds 60 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.759 sprout based on temperature, and so when we get into 61 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.719 the fall season, as it's cooling off the cool season, 62 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.479 weeds they're sitting there going it's brout now, not when 63 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.560 it's one hundred and twenty degrees, I'm not going to 64 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.400 do it. And then when it cools off a little bit, 65 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.800 it hits a temperature where they're willing to sprout, and 66 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.599 we got to get our products down ahead of that. 67 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.520 And so it's more important to be a little early 68 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.919 than it is to be a little late. That's kind 69 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.759 of the thing to remember. So now it's time to 70 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.240 go ahead if you want. Early October is great to 71 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.319 mid October, and these seeds will germinate on through the 72 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:10.439 cool season. So if you know, if you perhaps stopped 73 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.400 every weed that was going to germinate real soon, then 74 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.280 there'd be weeds that are going to germinate in November 75 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.360 germinate in December, for example. And that's why I like 76 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.920 that barricade product because it covers your window there. Either way, 77 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.959 if you don't get your pre emergent down on time, 78 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.439 you can still put it down for the weeds that 79 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.439 are going to germinate just a little bit later. But 80 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.680 you may have missed a few of the weeds. But 81 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.079 that's just part part of the deal. What's the best 82 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.439 thing you can do? When you don't do the best thing. Well, 83 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.839 it's it's the second best thing. And so whenever you 84 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.839 can get those, get those applied Ice Hardware stores got 85 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.360 you covered on that too. By the way, if you 86 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.759 need barricade, they've got it. Any kind of a product 87 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.279 that I talk about. The fertilizers we talked about, I'll 88 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.759 be talking about fall fertilizing today again. And ACE has 89 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.399 got you know, there's we have different brands that people follow. 90 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.800 Some people like to do things organically, some people you know, 91 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.560 synthetic is fine. And no matter how you want to 92 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.519 go about your gardening, Ace has got the fertilizers for you, 93 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.839 especially now and this time of year when it comes 94 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.839 to the fall fertilization. They've got those in supply, things 95 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:23.040 like Microlife's Brown Patches, which is their fall fertilizer. And 96 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.439 then they're you know, each particular groups of fertilizer has 97 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:31.360 theirs for the fall season. So Nelson's calls there's carbo 98 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.199 Loade that's the one for that, and you know He's Hardware, 99 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.120 it's got theirs as well. By the way, I'm going 100 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.040 to be given away some of Ace Hardware's Fall Special, 101 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.839 which is their fall fertilizer by by a Harder by 102 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.639 Nitrophoss is fall special today when I'm down at Wharton 103 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.079 Feed and Ace. I'll be there after a decent time 104 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:52.879 after the show today because I got to make a 105 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.319 good trip. But it's from one to three a'llbe at 106 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.600 Wharton Feed and Ace, and we're going to give away 107 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.040 a couple of bags of specially we're gonna give away 108 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.959 a couple of bags of barricade too. So hey, if 109 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.480 you haven't purchased them yet, you might get lucky. Come 110 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.759 on down.

I 181 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.639 get some pright myrtles, probably about eight of them that 182 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:58.080 are straight in the line, and they're about I guess 183 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.919 fifteen feet tall, but these white spots all over them, 184 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.799 and they have a kind of grayish looking colored to them, 185 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.120 and the leaves are kind of like will teem, what's 186 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:13.799 my problem? 187 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.919 Okay, well you said from your descriptions, I think two things. 188 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:24.399 The wilting is likely something preventing water for giving in 189 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.879 the plant. You know, root damage could cause that, but 190 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.240 it could just be a lack of water. It's been 191 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.080 kind of dry, it's been kind of hot. In fact, 192 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.879 we've got a hot week here coming up. Try giving 193 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.639 them some good, a good deep slow soaking, you know, 194 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.559 put a sprinkler out there, put a rain gauge or 195 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.639 a straight sided can, and water as much as you 196 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:45.840 can for it starts to run off, and then water again, 197 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.840 and water again until you've caught about an inch of 198 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:52.240 water in that rain gauger or straight sided can, and 199 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.279 I think that will help. Crapes are starting to lose 200 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.840 their leaves. They typically, you know, we'll do something like 201 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.080 that when they're in a long, hot summer stress. But 202 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.039 mine are starting to lose their leaves and that's just 203 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.679 normal at this point. It is what it is. They 204 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.919 are where they are, But if they're a little on 205 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.799 the dry side, that can happen. Now, the white spots, 206 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.879 that's the big problem. That is something called crape myrtle 207 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:23.039 bark scale, and it shows up as little white things 208 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:27.399 on the trunks and branches of the limbs. The scale 209 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:31.000 puts out sugary substance that causes mold to grow on 210 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.440 the trunks and branches. It's a black mold, so literal 211 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:38.600 city out there. The scale is sucking juices out of 212 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.320 your plant. So when we have scale, we can spray 213 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.320 them with oil to smother them. That is one option. 214 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.799 This particular scale has been a problem to control, and 215 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.000 so people are also using systemic insecticides that are drenched 216 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.759 onto the ground that the roots of the crape take up, 217 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.039 and that the scale then gets the poison when it 218 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.799 sucks the juices out of the plant. I like the 219 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:10.159 systemic approach and in that you're not putting a pesticide 220 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.159 all over the surface of your plants. So things like 221 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.559 a lady beetle crawling around the surface isn't going to 222 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.519 be affected. But the scale, anything sucking juices out will 223 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.320 be that. The danger on those is when you do 224 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.559 them before we go into our bloom season, that material 225 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.039 can be up there in the nectar and and bees 226 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.679 go to craig myrtles. So but at this point in 227 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.440 the season you could use a systemic. 228 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.480 Product Okay, is that available at a. 229 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.360 C at Ace? 230 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:40.759 Yes? 231 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.639 At Ace, I'm sorry, y. 232 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.639 Yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah. Ace Hardware does carry them. And 233 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.440 you're you're in the Spring. 234 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.360 Area, yes aam is that right? 235 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.200 Yeah? So let see you probably you've got you've got 236 00:12:55.200 --> 00:13:00.279 one on Memorial there Ace Hardware Memorial Drive just outside 237 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.679 about eight. It kind of depends on where in Spring 238 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.639 you are or your Spring or Spring brand. 239 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.879 Yeah, I'm closer to twenty nine and forty five. 240 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:19.720 Okay, all right, yeah I should there's one. Yeah, that's it. 241 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:20.799 Okay, Well I'll try that. 242 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.879 It's the closest one to you. Yeah, just go in 243 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.879 there and uh if you want to do you have 244 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.480 a pin or pencil handy, Yeah, I do.

Uh ef. Those aren't the whole names. But 249 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.279 if if those two products that begin with those letters 250 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.039 just two different ones, you can choose one or the other. 251 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.679 For this, okay, okay. 252 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.320 In business in the. 253 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:06.840 Roots, yes, we'll tell you. Okay, Yeah, you mix it 254 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.879 in water and you don't have to do it all 255 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.200 over around the plant, just just around the base. Not 256 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.320 too far out from the base is fine. It'll pick 257 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.080 it up from there. 258 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.799 Okay, all right, appreciate. 259 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:21.960 It very much, you bet, you bet, Thank you very much. 260 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.039 Appreciate that. Yeah, that great myrtle bark scale. Boy, what 261 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.240 a mess. That is definitely a mess I was talking about. 262 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.679 You know, the fall fertilizing and stuff. Nitrophoss has got 263 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.799 you set up with what they call the Texas three step. 264 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.879 You know, the dance is Texas two step. We're going 265 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.840 to do the Texas three step in our lawns and 266 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:47.600 that is three things fertilizer, weed control, and disease control. 267 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.440 And here's how that works. The fertilizer's nitro Foss Fall 268 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.879 Special Winterrizer Nitrofoss Fall Special Winter Riser. It has that 269 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:01.840 potassium we need to help the plant to make let's 270 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.120 just call it the ana freeze for cold protection or 271 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.159 to store the energy that it needs to come out 272 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.039 in the spring. Fall fertilization is very important and Nitrovos 273 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.279 Fall Specials designed for that. It's got the barricade, which 274 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.200 is the pre emergent. That is the second step. It's 275 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.879 two different products, Fall Special and then barricade. Step two. 276 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.519 You get it down, you water it in. It prevents 277 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.080 weeds from sprouting. That's the cool season weeds, the ones 278 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.840 we deal with in the spring or sprouting in the fall. 279 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:37.240 Number three is the fungicide. It's nitrophuss Egle turf fungicide. 280 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.600 And I was just telling Andy Imido that was one 281 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.799 of the ingredients for the systemic well that is what's 282 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:49.039 in nitrofuss Egle and night fuss Eagle will get in 283 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.240 your turf and when brown patch tries to attack or 284 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.960 take all root rot, which is also a fall attacking disease, 285 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.679 it is there waiting for them. Those diseases. You don't 286 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.240 wait till they're all infected and then try to cure 287 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.919 the grass. It's not very effective to try to do 288 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.240 it that way. You get in ahead of the disease. 289 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.799 And that's what the third step of the Texas three 290 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.039 step will do. You're going to find nitrofoss Texas three 291 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.320 step products at Court Hardware and Stafford Katie and Katie 292 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:21.919 Ace Hardware has them. You go up to Brunham plants 293 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.639 or things those of you, and Willis go up to 294 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.759 Growers Outlet. They've got them all there easy to find 295 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:33.360 those products. Let's go now to Carol in Houston. Hello Carol, 296 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.639 welcome to garden Line. 297 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:40.399 Thank you, good morning. I have several camellias and I'm 298 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:46.639 having problems with scale. I've been treating with two systemic 299 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.559 funge asides, two different ones. After listening to part of 300 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:55.399 your call just a little while ago, maybe that's my problem. 301 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:59.320 I have been spraying the whole bush, trying to get 302 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.600 up under the where the scale is. Am I supposed 303 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.799 to be spraying just in the around the base of 304 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:07.359 the of the plant. 305 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.799 Well, there's if you're using an oil, for example, that 306 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.240 an oils are good for smothering scale. That's our one 307 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.039 of our prime ways we control scale. You want to 308 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.519 get it on the scale, So you would spray the 309 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.640 above ground and you would spray all sides of all branches. 310 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:27.599 In other words, you know, if you just blast over 311 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:29.960 the top, you're not going to get any scale that 312 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.279 might be underneath that. That doesn't have to you have 313 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.640 to coat them in oil to kill them. So thorough 314 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.920 coverage is critical for controlling scale with oil. If you're 315 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.680 going to go with a systemic approach, then you're putting 316 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.799 it in the roots to get it up in the plant, 317 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.880 because what you're doing is you're poisoning the plumbing inside, 318 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.119 and that's the juices the scale are drinking. 319 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:58.839 Okay, I've been using let's say, proprocnisol and emit a cloprid. 320 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.000 So maybe that's my problem because I've just been just 321 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.160 been spraying the leaves and of course up under the leaves, 322 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.559 which is almost impossible because there's so many leaves and 323 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:14.640 it's hard to get up underneath. So if if I 324 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.559 were to continue to. 325 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.839 Plants that you're comella plants, you're using those two on. 326 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.200 Community fa. 327 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.279 Yeah, okay, if it's just community okay, go ahead. 328 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.759 So if I were to continue using the one of 329 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:36.920 these two systemic fungicides, do I saturate the around the 330 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.960 base of the plant with that funge aside, you know, 331 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.680 pretty much saturated with with the fuide? 332 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.000 Are those two different products or are they mixed together? 333 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.799 And they are two different want the let's see what 334 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:58.920 the coronoisol is fertile and the motorcoporal is bonade. But 335 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.119 I've tried both, you know, well, I couldn't get one 336 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.279 to work, so I've tried the young one. 337 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.480 Yeah, but you need to understand, those are very different 338 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:12.519 products for very different things. In middow product is the 339 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.079 systemic insecticide, and you drench the soil to get it 340 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.079 up into the scale on your camellias, and that would 341 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:24.400 work very well. Now, camellias attract bees, and we're about 342 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.359 to enter their bloom season, so that's a concern that 343 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:31.519 I have about putting the amitacloprid on at this time. 344 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.440 Once we get past their bloom season, you can go 345 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.519 after that scale with a vengeance with the amitacloprid, and 346 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:42.160 that's fine. Proper connaisol is a fungicide, and so it 347 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.720 would control diseases and you would spray it on the plant. 348 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:53.079 Okay, the proper connaisol is a is tell me that 349 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.319 again is fault. 350 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.720 I think we lost you, Carol, if you. 351 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.039 Would explain the proper Honda's all again for me. It's 352 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.839 a funge a side proconsole. 353 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:06.559 It's a funge a side. So if you've got fungal 354 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:10.319 leaf spots on the plant, in all other kinds of disease, 355 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:13.279 it can be. It's used on turf for some of 356 00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.440 the Jesus of turf. But those two just separate. Those 357 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.039 two products. They are very different in what you need. 358 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:22.200 Okay, okay, we have. 359 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:24.359 To run to a break, but hopefully that'll get you 360 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.799 off on a good start. And I do, I do 361 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.240 appreciate your call. Folks. We are up against a heard break. 362 00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:34.319 I've got to run and I'll be right back. Hey, 363 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.759 welcome back to Guardenline. Glad you are with us today. 364 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.960 We are looking forward to continuing our conversation with you 365 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.079 about the things that help you have a more beautiful 366 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:49.200 on and a more bountiful excuse me, a more bountiful landscape. 367 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.519 I wanted to go into a little bit of a 368 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.960 talk here on some things related to pre emergent herbicides. 369 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:05.359 I've been getting a lot of emails and online questions, 370 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:08.079 all kinds of different things from people wanting to know 371 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:14.200 or misunderstanding the application of pre emergent herbicides. So here, 372 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.920 in a nutshell, is basically what you especially need to know. 373 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:24.160 Number One, pre emergent herbicides prevent weed seeds from sprouting 374 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.680 and establishing weed plants. They don't control plants coming back 375 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:33.440 from underground storage structures. We call those perennial plants. They control, 376 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.279 They stop weed seeds. They don't kill existing plants. You 377 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.079 got weeds in your yard, you put a pre emergent 378 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:43.880 on them. If it's a pre emergent, it's not going 379 00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:46.880 to kill them. You would need a post emergent, meaning 380 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.640 after they come up to kill an existing weed. Second, 381 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.119 you need to put them down before the weeds germinate. 382 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.079 And the analogy I use. I did a Facebook post 383 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.960 yesterday about it is the baseball analogy. If you wait 384 00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.160 to swing until the ball is over the plate, you're 385 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:06.160 never going to hit the ball. You have to start 386 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:09.720 swinging before the ball gets the plate. Right. Well, that 387 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.519 is the analogy meaning that if you wait until the 388 00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.359 weeds are sprouting to put your pre emergent down, you're 389 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.960 probably not going to do much of anything with it. 390 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:20.640 It can be a good product that works, but you 391 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:24.279 didn't apply it right. Third, they need to be incorporated 392 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.559 into the soil, meaning you got to water them in. 393 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.119 So when you put out barricade granules, for example, you 394 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:31.640 water it in with just a little bit of water. 395 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.079 About a third of an inch is adequate because all 396 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.880 you're doing is getting the herbicide off that granule and 397 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.279 into the soil surface. That's where the weed seed will germinate. 398 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.440 That is where when it tries to push through and 399 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:46.240 establish the barricade shuts it down. The pre emergent shuts 400 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:50.000 it down. So that is important to understand what they control, 401 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:53.880 and that is stopping weed seeds. That's what they do. Secondly, 402 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:59.000 you need to apply them at the right also at 403 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:04.200 the right time, meaning not after they're sprouted, before they're sprouted. 404 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.640 And number three, you need to incorporate them with water. 405 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:10.119 You need to water them in a little bit to 406 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.279 get them into the surface for them to do what 407 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:12.680 they do. 408 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:13.079 Now. 409 00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:16.359 The fourth thing I want to mention is premerging herbicides 410 00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:21.480 like any medication or any herbicide or insex side or fungicide, 411 00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.519 there's things that works against and things they don't work against. 412 00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.640 No one product controls every weed on earth. So I 413 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.160 like barricade because it's got a wide spectrum, broad leaf 414 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.119 weeds and grassy weeds. It controls a wide spectrum. But 415 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:39.079 not every weed will be controlled with any one product. 416 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.640 So if you've got a weed that you're not getting 417 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.359 a response to from whatever product you use, you may 418 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.720 need to switch to try something else for that weed. 419 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.920 But most of the time a lack of performance is 420 00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:54.680 due to the applicator. If we put it down at 421 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:58.160 the wrong time, we don't water it in and so on. 422 00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.799 And that is why I have I have my schedule 423 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.680 on gardening with skip dot com to give you timing 424 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.640 on those things so that you can do it the 425 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:09.039 right way. And I've gotten a lot of questions about 426 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:11.799 what I got weeds. Will to pre emergent kill them? No, no, 427 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.599 it won't. Well you know I tried and something didn't work. Well, 428 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.559 I just told you why they don't work. So keep 429 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:20.920 that in mind and hopefully that will help you to 430 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:25.240 have good success.

One thing that I think they do 484 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:39.240 a really good job of is putting combo planters together. 485 00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:42.240 And they've got planters with you know, things like croaton, 486 00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:48.079 which is definitely fall colors, and the trailing plants, the 487 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:51.240 grass like plants. By the way, fall is for grasses. 488 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:54.720 If you think about ornamental grasses, Fall is the best season. 489 00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:58.000 It's when they really show off. Anyway, these combo planters 490 00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.720 look just gorgeous and you need to check them out 491 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.160 and get you something like that because they are stunning. 492 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:06.559 If you need things like snap dragons, if you need 493 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.680 other fall planting flowers, if you want decorations for the holidays, 494 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.480 a Halloween, they're getting ready gets all set up here 495 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:17.359 for the Christmas season as well.

And 540 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.839 I'm not going to go through all the brand names 541 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:38.160 that they won't all come back for me, but c 542 00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:44.519 l O p y R. So it's try clow Peer 543 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.880 and it's sold typically in things that say they're for 544 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:51.680 poison ivy or brush control or stumpery sprouting or things 545 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:53.960 like that. But that's what you do. You cut off 546 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:56.519 the sapling, if it's got any size to it at all, 547 00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.160 like at least the size of your thumb, cut it 548 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.799 off and dab straight tricle pair right onto it. I 549 00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:04.440 use those little foam paint brushes, a little tiny ones 550 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.920 on a stick. It makes it real easy, and you 551 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.200 do it right away. Don't don't wait a day to 552 00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:13.000 do it, do it right away. If they're smaller and 553 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.599 you can't cut them off, you can put a little 554 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.519 bit of a diesel oil actually into a tricle peer 555 00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.079 and you can wipe them on the sides of the 556 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:25.720 real small tender saplings because they don't they don't have 557 00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.640 bark on them yet, and it soaks. The diesel helps 558 00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:32.960 it stick and soak right in. So anyway, that is 559 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.720 how I would go about those. Okay, what was the 560 00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:37.839 second part of your question? 561 00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:38.599 The app? 562 00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:43.319 With the app? You know, there are a bunch of 563 00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:45.440 them out there, and I played around with a few 564 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:49.440 of them and everyone what basically my impression was, if 565 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.240 it's something from Texas here, it seemed like they didn't 566 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.119 represent well in those apps. Now, if you're talking about 567 00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:58.680 standard stuff like this is a petunia and you know 568 00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:01.319 this is a hollybush, those kind of things, it does 569 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:04.279 pretty good at that. What I like to use is 570 00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:09.680 Google Lens, Google Lens l E N S and you 571 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:12.920 can even if you have an Apple phone, there you 572 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.880 can you can download the Google app, and it's in 573 00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:20.079 the Google app. Now Apple has one that I haven't 574 00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.279 thoroughly tried. I suspect it's probably very good too. But 575 00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:26.559 Google lens is good for identifying anything, I mean from 576 00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:35.079 that's just I have used with any kind of phone. Yeah, 577 00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.200 well then Google lens. Look for the Google l E 578 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:41.440 n S. Go to your app store and look for 579 00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:46.599 Google Lens l E n S. Okay, all right, that'll 580 00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:49.599 do it. That's the best thing for me. But I'm 581 00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:51.680 sure there's some other good ones. Some of them costs 582 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:55.000 money to get the good version of them. Google lenses 583 00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:05.039 for you, Yes, you bet appreciate, appreciate your call. Southwest 584 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.440 Fertilizer is the place you go when you want anything. 585 00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:12.519 They're limited to anything. If you want something other than anything, 586 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.640 you can't get so with fertilizer because if they don't 587 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:17.759 have it, you don't need it.

That well our phone number 715 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:54.400 seven one three two one two five eight seven four 716 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.800 seven one three two one two fifty eight seventy four. 717 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.920 That is the easy way to get a hold of me. 718 00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:06.360 I was visiting with some of the folks at Nelson's 719 00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.960 at a trade show not too long ago, and just 720 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:12.000 talking about the different products that they have, and of 721 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:14.719 course right now the one that's in the forefront is 722 00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:20.840 their carbo load. Carbo Load is a fertilizer designed for fall. 723 00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:24.519 Why carbo Well, here's why. When you put down a 724 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:28.360 fertilizer that's got some nitrogen but also a good amount 725 00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.039 of potassium in it, that's what carbo load has. You 726 00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:35.840 are going to build essentially ana freeze in the plant 727 00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:39.800 to strengthen the plant for cold weather. But you're in 728 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:43.519 by what you're really doing is you're building carbohydrates sugars 729 00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:46.719 in the plant. It does that cold protection, it also 730 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:49.239 helps it come out strong in spring. They call it 731 00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:52.119 carbo load because when you put it down your lawn 732 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:56.119 produces a good supply of carbohydrates to increase winter hardiness 733 00:41:56.199 --> 00:41:59.639 and improve spring growth. A forty pound bag covers five 734 00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:01.679 thous and square feet. Of course, you want to water 735 00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:04.800 it in after you apply it, get those nutrients down there, 736 00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:08.880 and it just works really, really well. And now's the 737 00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.519 time to get the carbload down. Go to my schedule 738 00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:15.840 gardening with skip dot com.

We were talking with Mary, 783 00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.639 and Mary I think I believe you had a question 784 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.239 about seeding grass. So what is the type of grass 785 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:06.840 seed that you want to plan? What species of grass? 786 00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:12.719 Well, this this is a replacement for Saint Augustine grass 787 00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:20.920 that was overtaken by crab grass. And I have pulled 788 00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:27.159 a half of the crab grass mountains and I have 789 00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:30.760 at least half more to pull up. And I'm we're 790 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.280 talking about five hundred to seven hundred and fifty square 791 00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:38.880 feet and the cost of of of Saint Augustine. Uh, 792 00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:43.840 you know, by the Pallette's very expensive so I'm warning 793 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:51.119 I'm interested in using grass seed, and I bought a 794 00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:56.800 product that says, uh yeah, it's it'll do uh seven 795 00:45:56.840 --> 00:46:01.440 hundred fifty square feet for a whole lot less money. Oh, 796 00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:06.480 then using set can't grasshop it? Well, that's the picture. 797 00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:10.880 That's why I'm calling you. The picture shows a very 798 00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:14.599 appears to be very lush, lush looks like a golf 799 00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:16.840 course or the picture on. 800 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:18.679 The back of course it does. They're trying to sell 801 00:46:18.719 --> 00:46:19.079 it to you. 802 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.079 Yeah, and it's temper says it's temporary. 803 00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:26.000 Okay, Uh yeah, you don't want to do that. 804 00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:28.159 Uh, that's that's. 805 00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:28.199 Where I. 806 00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.199 Yeah, it doesn't come from seed. That may be a fescue. 807 00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:38.760 If it's temporary, it may be a rye grass. That's 808 00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:43.679 kind of likely. If it's temporary, fescue grows better up north, 809 00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:46.360 not down where we live down here. 810 00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:47.760 That's right. 811 00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:51.280 What I do is, if I were you, I would 812 00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:54.559 I don't know how how big the areas where there's 813 00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:58.519 no Saint Augustine is.

There 822 00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:32.559 are several other grasses that can look like that. If 823 00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:34.920 you would like to take a picture and send it. 824 00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:38.000 To sent a picture I sent.

They said? Crabgrass? Yeah, okay, well 830 00:47:57.400 --> 00:47:59.440 I did. I didn't receive an email from you. 831 00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:03.280 But I'm going to.

They 948 00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:33.559 have them in very small, smaller container pots as well, 949 00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:36.039 which makes it, you know, quite affordable for somebody want 950 00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:37.360 to get a tree, but you know, put it in 951 00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:40.559 a two hundred gallon tree. Well, Chinese friends from moss 952 00:54:40.599 --> 00:54:45.719 spring bloom, shaggy, fragrant, gorgeous. Perfect for modern lots that 953 00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:47.760 aren't really huge. You know, it used to be we 954 00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:52.400 had huge lots many many years ago. Now typical lot 955 00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:54.519 size is so small you can reach out your window 956 00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:57.119 and close your neighbors blinds. Chinese fringe is a good 957 00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:01.719 tree for that kind of lot. Okay, we'll go back 958 00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:05.880 to the phones here to Montgomery and talk to Brett. Hey, Brett, 959 00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:07.960 we are coming up on a break here. Let's see 960 00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.559 if we can get your question and I'll answer it 961 00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:10.280 when we come back. 962 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:14.920 Good morning. I have a Chinese friends tree and we're 963 00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:18.079 getting a lot of the leaves or turn around, basically, 964 00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:21.039 have the lead. I was told that maybe some sort 965 00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:24.719 of fun guy need to spray. I didn't know what 966 00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:25.519 you knew about that. 967 00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:31.239 There is not a significant disease of Chinese fringe that 968 00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:33.719 I've seen here in our area. That's the bottom line. 969 00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:37.599 Uh and uh so I think it's probably a soil 970 00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:40.920 moisture stress related thing. Now I'm gonna put you on 971 00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:42.719 home because I do have to go to break, But 972 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:44.679 if you want to hang on for more of an answer, 973 00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:47.000 I'd be happy to continue when we come right back. 974 00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:53.559 All right, folks, guarantee an thank you?

Hello Brett, and let's get back to your question. 999 00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:19.440 You were talking about the Chinese francestry that had a 1000 00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:20.320 fungus right. 1001 00:57:21.639 --> 00:57:23.880 Well, I don't know that it's a fungus. I was 1002 00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:27.519 told it could be. I can't pronounce is it ce 1003 00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:33.800 er cos po r oi d fun guy. So I 1004 00:57:33.800 --> 00:57:34.920 don't know what that was. 1005 00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:37.760 I know what it was the last the last few letters. 1006 00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:40.079 Someone went off the rail there. But I know what 1007 00:57:40.079 --> 00:57:42.440 they're talking about. But those are spots on the leaves. 1008 00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:47.920 Sircaspara is a spot. It's not a general browning of 1009 00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:50.960 the leaf whicher you see in spots are just kind 1010 00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:52.320 of like large areas of brown. 1011 00:57:54.000 --> 00:57:57.079 Yeah, I'm kind of getting like the bottom half the 1012 00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.719 whatever you want, the furthest away from the stem. The 1013 00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:02.920 ends of the leaves are turning brown. 1014 00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:04.320 Quite a few of them, and I have two of 1015 00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:04.719 them in. 1016 00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:07.880 The backyard and I may be drown on them. I 1017 00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:08.760 don't know what I'm doing. 1018 00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:12.400 Okay, So you think your water them at least enough, 1019 00:58:12.440 --> 00:58:17.079 maybe too much. So when did you plant those things? 1020 00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:20.400 I'm going to say six months ago. 1021 00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:24.480 They're fairly new, Okay, Yeah, so they have a very 1022 00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:28.119 limited root system. Well, in that limited root system, pretty 1023 00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:31.920 much everything they're taking up is still mostly in the 1024 00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:36.440 area where those the plant root ball went in. You know, 1025 00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:38.320 when you pulled it out of the pot, that cylinder 1026 00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:41.199 of roots and soil that's still where most of the 1027 00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:43.519 roots are. So if you put that in the clay 1028 00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:45.800 soil in the overwater, you end up with an underground 1029 00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:48.880 bathtub and the roots are submerged and can't get oxygen. 1030 00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:55.079 If the underwatering is so easy, because you know in 1031 00:58:55.119 --> 00:58:57.199 the garden centers they're having to water those things every 1032 00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.840 day to keep that little small area of roots supplying 1033 00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:04.639 the leaves all over the plant, and so it's easy 1034 00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:06.599 for them to get too dry in the ground because 1035 00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:09.719 even though the soil around may be moist, the roots 1036 00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:13.119 aren't out there much. They're still primarily confined to that 1037 00:59:13.239 --> 00:59:17.519 pot area, and so I still think underwatering at times 1038 00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:19.639 could be it. I know it's been a long hot 1039 00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:23.079 summer and as a result plants have been struggling. I 1040 00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:26.480 wouldn't get too alarmed. Just dig down, you know, with 1041 00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:30.159 your fingers or a trowel, ride beside where that original 1042 00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:32.679 root ball was and feel the soil. Go down about 1043 00:59:32.679 --> 00:59:35.840 three or four inches and feel the soil. If it's moist, 1044 00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:39.559 that's good. If it's getting a little dry, give it 1045 00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:42.400 some water and let's get it on in the fall. 1046 00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:44.840 They're going to drop their leaves and by spring, by 1047 00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:46.880 next summer, they'll be much better prepared. 1048 00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:52.880 All right, sounds good. I appreciate it, you bet, Brent. 1049 00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:56.599 That's a great tree. But glad you got it.

We're going to 1076 01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:20.119 go now to Spring, Texas and talk to Kent. Hello Kent, 1077 01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:26.000 good morning morning. How can we help. 1078 01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:30.239 Skiff? I have listened to you quite a bit and 1079 01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:33.719 I really value I value your input. I have a 1080 01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:38.719 quick question with regarding to a tree. Early this year, 1081 01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:42.920 I lost a nut all oak and I think it 1082 01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:47.639 was due to bores, and so I'm I'm intending to 1083 01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:51.559 replace that tree with another nutall oak, and I was 1084 01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:54.400 wondering if there's any kind of recommended soil treatment that 1085 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:59.360 I need to do before I plant that tree. In 1086 01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:02.880 other words, of bores, are they in the four or 1087 01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:04.000 or what? 1088 01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:08.719 Yeah? No, no they're not. Tell me why do you 1089 01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:11.119 think you lost it to bors. What did you see? 1090 01:02:11.920 --> 01:02:16.239 Well, I noticed that there were holes around the bark. 1091 01:02:17.159 --> 01:02:21.079 This was about a six or year old tree. But 1092 01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:23.559 I did not see any kind of stall dust or 1093 01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:24.559 anything of that nature. 1094 01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:27.119 But we had just okay, you. 1095 01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:29.199 Know, going through a big drought and then the previous 1096 01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:34.719 year we had a freeze appearance spring. So I was 1097 01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:38.000 just concerned that if I put another tree in, then. 1098 01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:40.079 What I also. 1099 01:02:41.360 --> 01:02:42.519 Have a problem with bars? 1100 01:02:42.679 --> 01:02:46.880 Yeah all right, Well Kent, if you saw holes and 1101 01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:49.320 no saw dust, you said six to eight year old tree? 1102 01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:50.199 Was that correct? 1103 01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:50.920 Yeah? 1104 01:02:51.159 --> 01:02:51.320 Rough? 1105 01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:56.079 Yah, okay, so that tree could have had coal damage 1106 01:02:56.280 --> 01:03:00.400 that kills some bark on one side, and that is 1107 01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:03.559 not unusual with the cold we had less than six 1108 01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:07.119 to eight years ago. February twenty one was horrible, and 1109 01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:09.960 then we had a December freeze I believe about a 1110 01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:14.000 year after that. The bottom line is borers go after 1111 01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:18.679 week and stress trees, primarily. Nudall is an outstanding oak. 1112 01:03:18.760 --> 01:03:21.400 It's a good choice. I'm glad you're replacing it with 1113 01:03:21.440 --> 01:03:23.760 a nutdall because it's a good one. There's nothing you 1114 01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:27.599 do in the soil that fixes borers. So what I 1115 01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:31.000 would recommend is, if you want to do some amending 1116 01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:33.320 of the soil. Do it in a really large area, 1117 01:03:33.440 --> 01:03:37.480 mixing some compost in, and then dig the hole. Don't 1118 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:39.679 dig a hole and then put compost in the hole. 1119 01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:42.679 That that just creates an underground bathtob you want to 1120 01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:45.880 blend in, so blend in compost in a larger area, 1121 01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:48.719 dig the hole. Plant the tree at the same depth 1122 01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:52.079 it was before. If you're not sure, the topmost root 1123 01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:54.840 on your tree should be right close to the soil level. 1124 01:03:55.039 --> 01:04:00.920 Salt surface okay, and water in really good. Generally we 1125 01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:03.480 just don't have problems with borers on those trees. I 1126 01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:06.679 think that the boar you had was an after the 1127 01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:10.079 fact boor. There are bores that tunnel in the living 1128 01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:13.639 tissues around the trunk, and that's where we see sap 1129 01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:16.840 and sawdust coming out. And then there are bores that 1130 01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:19.840 go into the interior wood and you may get some 1131 01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:25.719 sawdust out on that as well. But there there are 1132 01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:28.800 bores that are the trees already on its way down, 1133 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:30.480 and then the boor shows up and. 1134 01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:37.239 Had Yeah, I agree with you, where it probably was 1135 01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:40.119 a stress tree and the moors took advantage of it, 1136 01:04:40.159 --> 01:04:40.480 I guess. 1137 01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:46.400 Okay, so the best get that new tree in Yes, 1138 01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:48.360 but let me just tell you this can't get it 1139 01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:51.039 done this fall. That's the best planting time. It gives 1140 01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:53.920 that tree, that's best shot. If there's any roots going 1141 01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:56.639 around the outside of the pot, or you see roots 1142 01:04:56.639 --> 01:04:58.559 from when the pot was when it was in a 1143 01:04:58.559 --> 01:05:01.639 smaller pot going around, cut those roots. It's okay to 1144 01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:05.239 cut them. I would do that planting in October. Ideally, 1145 01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:07.360 you can plan any month of the year, but October 1146 01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:11.920 November is probably prime time. And then next spring start 1147 01:05:11.960 --> 01:05:14.280 to fertilize it. Make sure it always has a good 1148 01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:16.519 soaking of water, and see how fast we can get 1149 01:05:16.519 --> 01:05:17.199 that thing growing. 1150 01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:20.800 Okay, okay, skiff, thank you very much for your time. 1151 01:05:21.639 --> 01:05:22.480 We appreciate it. 1152 01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:27.480 Yes, sir, you bet absolutely happy to do that. If 1153 01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:30.599 you are ready to do your lawn for fall, and 1154 01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:34.199 I hope you are. We are entering the best season 1155 01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:37.000 of the year for the most important fertilization of the year, 1156 01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:40.800 and that's the fall fertilization and nitrophos is created. The 1157 01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:43.639 Texas three step. Yep, that's a dance, but this dance 1158 01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:45.679 is in a dance hall. It's in your lawn. Not 1159 01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:48.039 a two step. It's a three step. What are the 1160 01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:54.320 three fertilizer we control disease control fertilizer is Nitropos fall 1161 01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:59.760 special winteriser Nitrofoss fall Special. It's the only time of 1162 01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:02.679 year you hear me talk about Nitrofus fall specials. In 1163 01:06:02.719 --> 01:06:07.440 the fall it has higher potassium levels, a little less nitrogen, 1164 01:06:07.559 --> 01:06:10.920 and that is the blend that helps the plant produce 1165 01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:13.960 the carbohydrates that makes it more cold, hardy and helps 1166 01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:19.039 it come out in the spring better. Second step barricade 1167 01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:23.480 nitrofus barricade. It's a pre emergent granule. You apply it 1168 01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:26.480 out as evenly as you can. Follow the label. Always 1169 01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:29.559 follow the label. Watered in with about a third of 1170 01:06:29.559 --> 01:06:31.960 an inch of water, It's moves to the sole surface 1171 01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:33.760 and it stops all the winter weeds that are going 1172 01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:35.800 to be germinating over the next two or three months. 1173 01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:40.800 And finally, Nitropuss turf eagle fungicide is a systemic fungicide 1174 01:06:41.199 --> 01:06:45.079 that will soak into the tissues. So when brown patch, 1175 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:49.679 large patch take all root run when they arrive, it's ready. 1176 01:06:49.800 --> 01:06:52.880 Don't wait until after you see circles. Nitropus turf eagle. 1177 01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:56.159 Now you're going to find three step that varyings hardware 1178 01:06:56.159 --> 01:06:58.719 both the one on Bissonet and Westheimer AUSPA eight and 1179 01:06:58.760 --> 01:07:00.639 we'll good to have you with us.

It 1213 01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:38.039 is bird travel season. Birds have been booking with their 1214 01:08:38.039 --> 01:08:41.479 travel agents for some time now. The hummingbirds are stocking 1215 01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:44.640 up on nectar to make a trip across the Gulf 1216 01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:46.760 of Mexico. And can we just talk here a minute, 1217 01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:50.239 How on earth does a hummingbird with wings that beat 1218 01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:53.039 sixty times a second fly all the way across the 1219 01:08:53.039 --> 01:08:56.479 Gulf of Mexico. I mean I couldn't fly across the beach, 1220 01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:00.199 much less the ocean like that. How do they do it? 1221 01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:01.840 They do it? You need to help them out, give 1222 01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:06.079 them plants that attract them, but also give them something 1223 01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:09.279 in a form of sugar water and a bird feeder. 1224 01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:13.520 And Wibird's Unlimited is the place for anything bird, including 1225 01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:17.359 everything hummingbird. Do you They have several different types of 1226 01:09:17.399 --> 01:09:19.359 bird feeders. I love I have two of them. I 1227 01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:23.439 love them, absolutely love them. They have the nectar defender 1228 01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:26.119 so that you know it's gonna be ninety plus degrees 1229 01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:28.520 this week, and you put sugar water out in ninety 1230 01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:31.119 degree weather and after two or three days, it's getting 1231 01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:33.560 kind of funky out there, and you got to change 1232 01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:36.039 it out with nectar defender to last over a week 1233 01:09:36.479 --> 01:09:38.359 out in the landscapes. That makes it really easy. I 1234 01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:41.680 got some in my feeders right now. Baltimore Orioles have 1235 01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:45.359 been passing through. You know, if you need bird houses, 1236 01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:48.359 if you need bird feeders, but especially if you need 1237 01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:53.399 bird seed. Warbird's Unlimited, as you covered every kind of 1238 01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:56.520 blend for every kind of bird and their seed. They 1239 01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:59.960 have something called no mess. What does that mean? Basically? 1240 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:03.439 What that means is all the shells and stuff to 1241 01:10:03.520 --> 01:10:05.560 get dropped on the ground, or bird seed that they 1242 01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:07.399 don't want to eat, they get dropped on the ground. 1243 01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:11.560 You don't have that with their no mess blends and 1244 01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:15.439 that way when you buy seed, you get bird food. 1245 01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:18.920 Cheap bird food is full of red bebes.

Hello, Roger, 1332 01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:33.479 welcome to garden Line. Hello. Yes, I have a quick question. 1333 01:15:34.039 --> 01:15:37.319 I just installed a brand new SOD and I had 1334 01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:40.079 spaced them because it was they took like four palettes 1335 01:15:40.239 --> 01:15:43.159 and so it's still not enough. So I faced them 1336 01:15:43.279 --> 01:15:48.479 like a foot apart. And what's the best fertilizer and 1337 01:15:48.520 --> 01:15:50.880 how much should I waterate? I've been watering every day 1338 01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:54.279 for about about twenty minutes on the sprin closed system, 1339 01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:57.760 and then, uh, we'll best fertilizer I can put on 1340 01:15:57.800 --> 01:15:58.399 it right now? 1341 01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:03.760 Okay, generally we would water twice a day for the 1342 01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:05.960 first week, once a day for the second week, and 1343 01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:10.920 then back off from there. It's but the volume twenty minutes, 1344 01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:14.119 I don't know how fast your sprinklers put out water, 1345 01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:16.960 but it could be too much or it could be 1346 01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:19.680 just right depending on how much water they put out. 1347 01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:21.600 But the main thing is keep it moist. We got 1348 01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:26.279 another week of ninety mid nineties or so, and so 1349 01:16:26.840 --> 01:16:29.560 you just need to know it. It has very little roots. 1350 01:16:29.840 --> 01:16:33.800 Therefore it needs frequent waterings. Not necessarily a lot of 1351 01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:37.399 water twice a week, twice a day, but it needs 1352 01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:41.439 water regularly to supply it. So just just a tip 1353 01:16:41.479 --> 01:16:44.560 there on that. As far as the fertilization is concerned, 1354 01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:49.319 you could use a you want to use a fall fertilizer, 1355 01:16:49.560 --> 01:16:53.680 one that is designed for fall. So for example, Nelson 1356 01:16:53.760 --> 01:16:59.439 Blackfeet has one called carbo Load carbo load, and you're 1357 01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:02.000 going to find carbo load works just fine for it. 1358 01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:06.560 It's got that higher potassium and it works well in 1359 01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:09.920 helping that plant produce carbohydrates. That's why it has that name. 1360 01:17:10.399 --> 01:17:13.560 It's part of their turf Star line. A bag of 1361 01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:16.800 carbo load will cover about five thousand square feet and 1362 01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:20.479 your grass will make the carbs necessary to get stronger, 1363 01:17:20.880 --> 01:17:22.760 to go into winter cold and to come out and 1364 01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:25.159 spring better. So carbo load is the one you want. 1365 01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:28.039 Now you've got some spaces in there of a foot 1366 01:17:28.159 --> 01:17:32.920 between the pieces of sod. You got a couple of options. One, 1367 01:17:33.119 --> 01:17:35.000 your grass is not going to do a lot of 1368 01:17:35.119 --> 01:17:38.319 growing in terms of sending out runners and all of that. 1369 01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.359 As we go further into fall it slows down. You 1370 01:17:42.479 --> 01:17:45.079 might want to put on a pre emergent herbicide, but 1371 01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:47.479 I kind of have a I kind of got mixed 1372 01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:49.560 feelings about that right now, And I'll tell you why. 1373 01:17:49.720 --> 01:17:51.960 If you put on a pre emergent herbside like barricade 1374 01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:55.399 from nitrophoss, it will prevent the weed seeds that are 1375 01:17:55.439 --> 01:17:58.359 going to be coming up this fall from filling your 1376 01:17:58.399 --> 01:18:03.239 lawn full of weeds in those open bear soil spaces. However, 1377 01:18:03.479 --> 01:18:06.439 don't overdo it because you want that product to be 1378 01:18:06.560 --> 01:18:11.560 breaking down next spring when the grass runners are starting 1379 01:18:11.560 --> 01:18:14.520 to come in, because you won't want to use the 1380 01:18:14.560 --> 01:18:17.840 barricade in spring, because your grass is going to be 1381 01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:20.600 crawling new runners out there and trying to get roots 1382 01:18:20.600 --> 01:18:23.279 in the ground. And that is how barricade fights weeds 1383 01:18:23.319 --> 01:18:26.239 is by stopping the roots from being able to expand 1384 01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:32.720 into their soil. Was that confusing, Yeah, a little bit. 1385 01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:34.760 I'll work on it, and I'm kind of got a couple, 1386 01:18:34.840 --> 01:18:36.800 you know, lead now, so that'll give me something to 1387 01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:39.119 work on our Google carbo load. 1388 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:39.840 Where do I get that? 1389 01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:44.640 At? 1390 01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:49.159 Ace Hardware stores have got that? You're out there, you 1391 01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:52.479 could probably Yeah, you might want to try try one 1392 01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:56.560 of the Enchendas Jennifer Forest, Channa Gardens. They may carry that. 1393 01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:59.359 I just haven't looked to see what they're carrying in 1394 01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:03.199 the way of of those those fertilizers they might have, 1395 01:19:03.439 --> 01:19:05.800 but if not the Ace Hardware store, there's a plantation 1396 01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:09.399 Ace and Richmond. It's uh, kind of on the Katie 1397 01:19:09.439 --> 01:19:11.800 fullsher side up there, kind of up that in a 1398 01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:17.319 little bit to the east, so that direction, I know plantations, 1399 01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:23.720 got it? Yeah, just let me let me just yeah, 1400 01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:28.159 barricade this thing, don't do it. Don't Yeah, don't do 1401 01:19:28.239 --> 01:19:30.760 barricade in the spring. That's all you need to remember. 1402 01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:32.680 Okay. 1403 01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:35.880 I appreciate you taking my call, and I love to 1404 01:19:35.880 --> 01:19:38.199 listen to your show every morning, every Saturday morning that 1405 01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:40.000 you work in the garage and listen to this. 1406 01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:44.079 Well, I love the fact that you're listening.

The website in Chended Gardens Richmond 1440 01:21:42.960 --> 01:21:46.399 dot com. We're going to go now to talk to 1441 01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:49.840 Marty in Fairfield. Hello, Marty morning. 1442 01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:57.239 Skip question about I killed my netgrass and doveweed. I 1443 01:21:57.279 --> 01:21:59.960 know it's not dove wheed whatever the other name is. 1444 01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:06.720 It did not kill my Saint Augustine, So I'm pretty 1445 01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:11.800 excited about that. That's my go to now. But now I. 1446 01:22:11.760 --> 01:22:15.520 Need I don't know use for that. I'm curious the 1447 01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:16.880 weed beater ultra. 1448 01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:22.359 Okay, anyway, I used the weed beater ultra. It killed 1449 01:22:22.399 --> 01:22:26.359 the nutgrass, it killed the Virginia button weed weed, whatever 1450 01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:29.600 you want to call it, and it also killed the bermuda, 1451 01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:33.520 which I was glad about. Now I don't know whether 1452 01:22:33.560 --> 01:22:36.199 I'm going back with Saint Augustine or whether I'm going 1453 01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:39.960 to put in a walking path or whatever. If I 1454 01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:45.399 do the Saint Augustine, I need to probably scratch the 1455 01:22:45.439 --> 01:22:50.439 surface of the soil correct before I lay down any sod. 1456 01:22:52.479 --> 01:22:55.039 It's a little helpful. I mean, if you didn't do it, 1457 01:22:55.039 --> 01:22:56.640 it's not the end of the world. But if you 1458 01:22:56.680 --> 01:22:58.960 can scratch it a little bit, it helps get good 1459 01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:04.560 sod to soil contact, which is kind of important. Okay, Marty, 1460 01:23:04.600 --> 01:23:07.920 I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm not gonna question your honesty 1461 01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:13.239 or integrity, but we beat her. Altars should not have 1462 01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:16.479 killed bermuda grass, and it should not have killed that sage. 1463 01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:19.680 Now maybe it killed it back, but let's just go 1464 01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:22.000 with the bermuda. I'm not convinced that the bermuda is 1465 01:23:22.279 --> 01:23:23.960 really completely gone. 1466 01:23:24.279 --> 01:23:31.520 So well it's dead, you can okay, Well, and you 1467 01:23:31.560 --> 01:23:35.119 know what, on one part of the yard one and 1468 01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:39.479 in my garden, I. 1469 01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:39.479 I only did. 1470 01:23:41.319 --> 01:23:43.199 I did what something else that you told me. 1471 01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:48.039 But in my yard I had so much of the 1472 01:23:48.119 --> 01:23:51.439 Virginia button weed that I put weed beater ultra all 1473 01:23:51.479 --> 01:23:51.880 over it. 1474 01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:55.720 And it did kill it killed it. It killed the bermuda. 1475 01:23:57.279 --> 01:23:59.359 And I all I did is I put in one 1476 01:23:59.399 --> 01:24:03.640 of two teeths foods of the weed beater ultra. I 1477 01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:06.279 put it in a watering can and I just went 1478 01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:10.199 around and sprinkled it all over every bit that I could. 1479 01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:12.560 But it didn't kill the Saint August Tin. 1480 01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:18.520 Hmm, all right, well, I have no I have no 1481 01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:22.680 words on that. So I do know this. When like 1482 01:24:22.760 --> 01:24:25.840 I'm telling people to use whatever to kill bermuda grass, 1483 01:24:26.439 --> 01:24:29.000 I always say, just hang around if we've got some 1484 01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:31.840 warm temperatures, see if it re sprouts, because you just 1485 01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:34.560 almost never get all of it. Even if you use 1486 01:24:34.600 --> 01:24:36.600 something that's going to be very effective against it, you 1487 01:24:36.640 --> 01:24:40.479 just don't get all of it. And so I would 1488 01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:44.199 I would, just i'd watch it so that you make 1489 01:24:44.279 --> 01:24:49.439 sure and not have re sprouting after you put new 1490 01:24:49.479 --> 01:24:50.039 stuff down. 1491 01:24:51.079 --> 01:24:53.319 I haven't, I really have been. 1492 01:24:53.600 --> 01:24:57.159 I'm I'm very determined to get it out of my garden. 1493 01:24:57.239 --> 01:24:59.880 But anyway, okay, so I'm not trying to go in 1494 01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:04.520 were with this other than I wanted to either lace 1495 01:25:04.600 --> 01:25:10.279 and bermuda or not bermuda some Saint Augustine, scratch it planet. 1496 01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:14.840 Is it okay now to put it down now? 1497 01:25:15.039 --> 01:25:17.720 But don't. If you're going to do it, don't delay 1498 01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:21.319 one bit because as we move into fall, like later 1499 01:25:21.359 --> 01:25:24.359 in October November, that grassroots are going to really not 1500 01:25:24.439 --> 01:25:27.159 be growing as much. So if you can get it 1501 01:25:27.199 --> 01:25:32.399 down soon this week ideally, and get it watered in, 1502 01:25:32.520 --> 01:25:34.800 remember twice a week the first week because we're gonna 1503 01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:39.039 have ninety five degrees this week, and then once a 1504 01:25:39.079 --> 01:25:41.720 week the second week, just because you don't want it 1505 01:25:41.800 --> 01:25:44.640 to go into any kind of stress. Get those roots down. 1506 01:25:44.680 --> 01:25:47.439 By the third week, you're backing off the water, and 1507 01:25:47.479 --> 01:25:51.520 hopefully by then you're getting enough roots down to have 1508 01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:55.319 really good success with it. By about the third week, 1509 01:25:55.520 --> 01:25:58.960 usually grass comes in with enough nutrition to not have 1510 01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:01.680 to fertilize for a mind. But I might go ahead 1511 01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:05.359 and put down a fall fertilizer on it. Just don't 1512 01:26:05.399 --> 01:26:10.000 overdo it, but fall fertilizer on it sometime maybe you know, 1513 01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:14.079 toward mid to end of October. Just get a little 1514 01:26:14.119 --> 01:26:15.439 down to have it ready to go. We're going to 1515 01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:17.880 do everything you can to get that grass strong before 1516 01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:19.640 going into winter, just in case we have one of 1517 01:26:19.640 --> 01:26:21.359 those unusually cold winners. 1518 01:26:22.000 --> 01:26:24.039 Yes, sir, okay, thank you. 1519 01:26:24.239 --> 01:26:28.159 I appreciate your help. All right, thanks for the call, 1520 01:26:28.399 --> 01:26:34.039 Take care by bye. All right, folks, you know we 1521 01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:38.439 were talking about fall fertilizers and stuff. Nitrofoss has their 1522 01:26:38.560 --> 01:26:41.399 three step one two three simple as that do you 1523 01:26:41.479 --> 01:26:43.479 do two steps on the dance floor, you do three 1524 01:26:43.520 --> 01:26:47.600 steps on the lawn. Night Fuss Fall Special Winter Riser. 1525 01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:52.399 That's the fertilizer from Nitrofoss four fall applications designed for 1526 01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:57.000 fall number two Nitrofuss Barricade. That's the weed control. It's 1527 01:26:57.000 --> 01:27:02.239 a pre emergent weed control. Just talking with Marty about 1528 01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:06.960 putting down sod. Do not put down pre emergent products 1529 01:27:07.239 --> 01:27:12.119 before laying sod because they stop the roots from growing. 1530 01:27:12.119 --> 01:27:13.880 That's how they kill the weeds. When the reach try 1531 01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:15.680 to sprout, it kills it, doesn't let the root grow 1532 01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:18.319 and it kills it. It's not going to kill the grass, 1533 01:27:18.399 --> 01:27:20.079 but you won't be able to get it rooted in. 1534 01:27:20.239 --> 01:27:24.079 So let's get that grass fully rooted in and then barricade. 1535 01:27:24.119 --> 01:27:26.399 So if you're putting on new grass, or you have 1536 01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:30.439 in the last week or so, just hold off on 1537 01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:33.359 the barricade. Let's go ahead and just do it in 1538 01:27:33.399 --> 01:27:35.479 the spring. I think that would be the best. Then 1539 01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:40.239 nitropous eagle turf fungicide, systemic fungicide. Here comes the brown 1540 01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:43.800 pat circles, not when you've already treated with eagle. Here 1541 01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:46.760 comes take our root rot. It also prevents that if 1542 01:27:46.840 --> 01:27:50.399 you wait until the circles appear, you're not going to 1543 01:27:50.560 --> 01:27:53.439 have the results you want because the damage will have 1544 01:27:53.479 --> 01:27:58.319 already been done. One, two, three from nitrophos three steps fertilizer, 1545 01:27:58.640 --> 01:28:04.359 fall special barricade for weeds, preventing seeds, and eagle tour 1546 01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:07.319 fungicides for diseases. You're going to find it at Enchended 1547 01:28:07.359 --> 01:28:10.479 Forrest and Rechmond, aast hardware city on Memorial Drive up 1548 01:28:10.479 --> 01:28:12.880 in Montgomery. Go to Gym's Hardware. If you're an Alvin, 1549 01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:14.880 go to Stanton Shopping Center and you can find all 1550 01:28:14.920 --> 01:28:19.800 those products. Let's go now to Tom and Dickinson. Hello Tom, 1551 01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:21.000 and welcome to garden. 1552 01:28:23.119 --> 01:28:24.439 Hey, how are you doing this morning? 1553 01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:29.399 I'm good, sir. Get that radio off so we can 1554 01:28:29.439 --> 01:28:31.960 talk over the phone, and how can I help? 1555 01:28:34.319 --> 01:28:34.520 So? 1556 01:28:34.640 --> 01:28:40.359 I have a plumb tree in the backyard and we've 1557 01:28:40.399 --> 01:28:41.880 lived in this house for a few years. It was 1558 01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:45.600 here when we got here. It's a lot of leaves, 1559 01:28:45.680 --> 01:28:47.600 a lot of growth, not a whole lot of fruit, 1560 01:28:47.640 --> 01:28:50.720 and what does come on doesn't seem to set. And 1561 01:28:50.760 --> 01:28:53.279 then over our last when we had Barrel that big 1562 01:28:53.319 --> 01:28:57.880 windstorm come through here, it was rocking. You could see 1563 01:28:57.920 --> 01:29:00.840 the root ball kind of moving. Since then, it's been 1564 01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:04.880 just kind of sickly looking and losing leaves. And I 1565 01:29:04.920 --> 01:29:08.159 know we're just starting to change seasons, but it seemed 1566 01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:10.359 like it was like a head of nor where it 1567 01:29:10.399 --> 01:29:12.680 normally is. So should I be concerned? Is something going 1568 01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:14.920 on with this guy? 1569 01:29:15.119 --> 01:29:16.079 When did you plant it? 1570 01:29:17.319 --> 01:29:20.000 I didn't plan it. It was here we moved into the house. 1571 01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:23.359 Okay, so it's been in for at least a year 1572 01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:24.199 or so. 1573 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:25.520 Oh no, No, it's a big tree. 1574 01:29:25.520 --> 01:29:33.119 It's a mature tree. Okay, Okay, Well, a lot of 1575 01:29:33.159 --> 01:29:36.840 our plants due to the heat, extended heat that we've had, 1576 01:29:37.000 --> 01:29:39.079 or starting to drop some leaves. I've got some stuff 1577 01:29:39.119 --> 01:29:41.199 in my yard that's dropping the leaves just because I 1578 01:29:41.319 --> 01:29:43.359 wasn't watering the heck out of it. All the time. 1579 01:29:44.319 --> 01:29:46.760 I think it'll be fine. It just gonna be a 1580 01:29:46.800 --> 01:29:48.920 little bit of an early leaf drop. Just make sure 1581 01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:51.880 we're going through another week in ninety five. So give 1582 01:29:51.880 --> 01:29:54.239 it a really good soaking, you know, put something out 1583 01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:57.840 there to measure your sprinkler, water and water until you've 1584 01:29:57.880 --> 01:29:59.880 caught an inch. If you have to do that too, 1585 01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:03.119 three applications because it's running off, do it that way, 1586 01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:07.000 but totally within whatever day you water, give it an 1587 01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:09.359 inch of water to get that down in the ground 1588 01:30:09.399 --> 01:30:12.279 a little deeper, and I think you're gonna be just 1589 01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:13.520 fine with that tree. 1590 01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:16.880 So we're going on our third year here, and like 1591 01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:18.840 I said, we don't get a good set of the fruit. 1592 01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:20.960 What should I be doing this time of year going 1593 01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:23.680 into next year to give it a better chance of 1594 01:30:24.479 --> 01:30:25.239 a better crop? 1595 01:30:27.319 --> 01:30:30.000 Okay? What variety of plum do you have? 1596 01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:32.479 I don't know. They're dark purple. 1597 01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:34.119 I don't know what. 1598 01:30:34.439 --> 01:30:36.720 I'm not a Okay, I'm not very good at all this. 1599 01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:42.960 Yeah, well, a lot of plums need two varieties to 1600 01:30:43.039 --> 01:30:50.760 cross pollinate and do the best fruit set. Okay, Yeah, 1601 01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:57.119 Methley plums, they they're pretty good at self fruiting, and 1602 01:30:57.199 --> 01:31:00.600 they are they are a purplish plum, so you may 1603 01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:03.920 have a methylee, in which case we didn't answer the question. 1604 01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:06.560 Because you got a plumb that should sell fruit, why 1605 01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:13.279 isn't it fruiting? But if it requires a pollinator, that's 1606 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:16.960 the reason they're not setting. If it doesn't require pollinator, 1607 01:31:17.520 --> 01:31:21.239 then it has to be something preventing bees and pollinators 1608 01:31:21.239 --> 01:31:24.640 from getting to them. Typically, if we or neighbors are 1609 01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:28.880 using a lot of pesticide or insecticides on plants, that 1610 01:31:29.039 --> 01:31:30.760 kills the bees, and then you don't have the bees, 1611 01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:33.479 you can't get the pollinating done. So it's going to 1612 01:31:33.520 --> 01:31:35.279 be one of those two things too. 1613 01:31:35.760 --> 01:31:37.520 I have not seen a lot of bees there. We've 1614 01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:39.319 been in the house for three years. I haven't seen 1615 01:31:39.359 --> 01:31:40.399 a lot of bees here at all. 1616 01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:45.439 Okay, well that could be part of it. I don't 1617 01:31:45.479 --> 01:31:47.119 have to tell you on that we need to get 1618 01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:50.640 some bees in there. You know, you're probably not going 1619 01:31:50.720 --> 01:31:53.600 to go put in a backyard high but that would 1620 01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:58.239 be one solution. You can do pollinating yourself by going 1621 01:31:58.279 --> 01:32:00.760 around with a little artist paintbrush. Pretty tedious for big 1622 01:32:00.800 --> 01:32:03.239 old tree like that, but you might try that. Get 1623 01:32:03.279 --> 01:32:05.840 a little, you know, a little artist brush and just 1624 01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:08.359 sort of tickle the flowers and go around tickling all 1625 01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:11.119 the flowers, and you'll be transporting pollen when you do that. 1626 01:32:11.479 --> 01:32:14.000 And even if you do it to one branch and 1627 01:32:14.039 --> 01:32:16.239 then watch it and if it sets fruit, you know 1628 01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:17.600 what was missing. 1629 01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:19.039 That tells me what's going on. 1630 01:32:19.159 --> 01:32:25.720 Okay, yeah, okay, thank you, thanks a lot, appreciate the call. 1631 01:32:26.039 --> 01:32:29.359 But hey, you know what, just just for fun, just 1632 01:32:29.399 --> 01:32:32.840 to give us an one extra tip for you, you 1633 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:37.079 might want to go ahead. I know Tom's you're listening 1634 01:32:37.199 --> 01:32:40.880 hopefully by by the radio. Now, Tom, if you have 1635 01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:43.199 a neighbor that has a what you think is probably 1636 01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:46.439 a different kind of plumb tree, and it's blooming when 1637 01:32:46.479 --> 01:32:49.239 yours is blooming, take if you they'll let you. Just 1638 01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:52.000 snip a branch out of it, a small branch, put 1639 01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:54.399 it in something to hold water, like a vase I 1640 01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:57.560 usually use like a soft drink. Can put the stem 1641 01:32:57.640 --> 01:32:59.680 right through the hole, put some water in there, and 1642 01:32:59.760 --> 01:33:02.439 hang it in your tree, and the bees will visit 1643 01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:04.840 those flowers in yours. Now, that only lasts for a 1644 01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:06.840 couple of days and you need to put a new 1645 01:33:06.880 --> 01:33:09.600 branch in. But if you do that and you start 1646 01:33:09.640 --> 01:33:13.319 to see results, that's another sign that cross pollinating maybe 1647 01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:19.560 what you needed. Hopefully that will be helpful for you. 1648 01:33:19.560 --> 01:33:21.640 You know, we love our feed stores here on Garden Line, 1649 01:33:21.680 --> 01:33:25.119 and D and D Feed in Tomball is an outstanding 1650 01:33:25.159 --> 01:33:27.600 feed store.

Hey, I've talked about treecare a 1676 01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:48.359 lot this summer after we had those storms that really 1677 01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:50.720 wrecked havoc on the trees. I'm surprised there's a living 1678 01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:54.720 standing tree in the Greater Houston area with the storms, 1679 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:58.159 the hurricane and the other beds from we had come through.

Look 1828 01:42:56.640 --> 01:42:59.159 forward to visiting with you if you got garden about it? 1829 01:42:59.720 --> 01:43:01.920 To Peter, Hey, Peter, where. 1830 01:43:01.359 --> 01:43:05.119 You call them from Collins in Brookshire, Texas. 1831 01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:07.920 Good morning, you get all right? 1832 01:43:08.119 --> 01:43:09.720 Well, good welcome the guard Line. 1833 01:43:11.039 --> 01:43:11.439 I've got it. 1834 01:43:11.560 --> 01:43:13.159 Come part question. 1835 01:43:13.279 --> 01:43:18.119 I've got four peach trees that basically died above the graft, 1836 01:43:18.439 --> 01:43:20.920 but then at the roof base they do all some 1837 01:43:21.760 --> 01:43:25.439 water sprouts, I guess, and I was wondering, can I 1838 01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:28.920 graft those water sprouts with some variety of peach trees 1839 01:43:28.960 --> 01:43:31.239 that I still have, and if so, what's the best 1840 01:43:31.279 --> 01:43:33.800 time to grasp them? 1841 01:43:34.119 --> 01:43:36.760 The best time, yes, you can. The best time is 1842 01:43:36.840 --> 01:43:39.399 to do a tea bud on the new shoots that 1843 01:43:39.439 --> 01:43:42.239 are coming up out of the base in the spring. 1844 01:43:42.520 --> 01:43:47.920 Once we get new growth where we say that park 1845 01:43:49.279 --> 01:43:51.840 that if you were to break them and peel them, 1846 01:43:51.840 --> 01:43:54.840 you'd streak the outer bark off. In the winter time, 1847 01:43:55.079 --> 01:43:58.439 it's not slipping, and if you break them, it's hard 1848 01:43:58.439 --> 01:44:01.880 to pull the bark away from the inner. But in spring, 1849 01:44:01.960 --> 01:44:05.680 once they get growing, let's say, let's talk about probably 1850 01:44:05.880 --> 01:44:09.359 April May. In that time, you can do the tea 1851 01:44:09.399 --> 01:44:12.119 bud when you go online and search for how to 1852 01:44:12.199 --> 01:44:15.079 do a tea bude and it'll tell you. And that's 1853 01:44:15.119 --> 01:44:18.800 the simplest one we make, essentially a little capital tea 1854 01:44:19.159 --> 01:44:22.479 shaped cut in the shot coming out of the base 1855 01:44:22.520 --> 01:44:24.960 of your tree, and you slip a bud right in 1856 01:44:25.079 --> 01:44:27.680 that tea. 1857 01:44:27.840 --> 01:44:30.560 Fantastic, Thank you, sir, appreciate it very much. 1858 01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:35.760 All right, good luck with that. Thank you, Ey, take 1859 01:44:35.800 --> 01:44:39.439 care you bet. We're going to go now to Liberty 1860 01:44:39.920 --> 01:44:43.640 and talk to Tracy. Hello, Tracy, welcome to garden Line. 1861 01:44:44.439 --> 01:44:46.840 Good morning, skimp. I got a quick question. 1862 01:44:47.159 --> 01:44:48.159 I bought some. 1863 01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:52.720 BlackBerry plants from Stark Brothers and they shift them. They 1864 01:44:52.720 --> 01:44:56.600 were beautiful when they got here. I repotted them and 1865 01:44:56.640 --> 01:44:59.760 the only thing I had on hand was miracle growth, 1866 01:45:00.880 --> 01:45:05.880 and after repotting them, I'll spray them down with America 1867 01:45:06.000 --> 01:45:10.520 grow in my sprayer, and they all died within a week. 1868 01:45:11.279 --> 01:45:12.720 Any idea what went wrong? 1869 01:45:13.000 --> 01:45:16.800 Okay, too much a miracle growth the trend. 1870 01:45:18.439 --> 01:45:22.239 It could be miracle grows a synthetic salt based fertilizer, 1871 01:45:22.319 --> 01:45:26.079 and if you mix it too strong, it's like putting 1872 01:45:26.199 --> 01:45:28.840 salt water, you know, on a plant, the same effect 1873 01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:32.920 that you hurt that burning it can do that, and 1874 01:45:32.960 --> 01:45:36.039 so that's possible. It's also since the whole thing died 1875 01:45:36.079 --> 01:45:38.840 and you didn't just burn the top, I'm thinking it's 1876 01:45:38.880 --> 01:45:41.960 also possible that maybe some roots dried out in that 1877 01:45:42.039 --> 01:45:47.239 planet transplanting process, or maybe en root to you or 1878 01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:52.359 after planting or something. Those plants are young and tender 1879 01:45:52.399 --> 01:45:54.640 and not that big, and when you bought them it 1880 01:45:54.680 --> 01:45:57.800 was plants, not root cuttings right from start. 1881 01:45:57.960 --> 01:45:59.159 Yes, sir, it was a plant. 1882 01:46:00.960 --> 01:46:04.479 Okay, Yeah, something dried out there, I think is a 1883 01:46:04.520 --> 01:46:07.479 primary problem. But yes, miracles grow too strong, will burn 1884 01:46:07.680 --> 01:46:08.439 burn plants. 1885 01:46:08.760 --> 01:46:12.640 Okay, I was curious, and I'm gonna try it again. 1886 01:46:12.960 --> 01:46:18.520 H We'll see what happens. I appreciate your time. 1887 01:46:18.720 --> 01:46:23.840 Well, well, yeah, Tracy, and I would suggest that maybe 1888 01:46:23.880 --> 01:46:26.319 you kind of look around here locally for some of 1889 01:46:26.319 --> 01:46:27.560 the blackberries that we sell. 1890 01:46:28.199 --> 01:46:28.319 Uh. 1891 01:46:28.560 --> 01:46:30.800 Stark has been in fruit tree business a long time. 1892 01:46:30.840 --> 01:46:34.800 They're in louisinga, Mississippi up on the river or Mississippi, 1893 01:46:35.479 --> 01:46:38.239 Missouri up on the river. Uh, and some of the 1894 01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:42.239 blackberries they have don't do well here. And so okay, 1895 01:46:42.840 --> 01:46:45.319 I don't know what you got. 1896 01:46:47.199 --> 01:46:47.279 Uh. 1897 01:46:47.479 --> 01:46:51.600 Do you want thornless or thorny, It doesn't matter. 1898 01:46:51.680 --> 01:46:55.680 I'm not that particular.

Well, if it's a thorny variety, look for 1901 01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:06.720 one that has the name of a Native American tribe, 1902 01:47:07.199 --> 01:47:11.880 such as Shawnee. That kind of name Choctaw, Shawnee are Rappah. 1903 01:47:12.159 --> 01:47:14.680 Those kinds of names mean that it's it's a good 1904 01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:18.319 thorny for our area. If you want thornless, look for 1905 01:47:18.439 --> 01:47:23.600 one that the first two words are prime prime and 1906 01:47:23.640 --> 01:47:28.399 then a r K prime arc, and there's a primary 1907 01:47:28.399 --> 01:47:34.359 freedom traveler prime arc. Prime means that it bears the 1908 01:47:34.359 --> 01:47:38.000 first year normal blackberries. You have to grow a shoote 1909 01:47:38.079 --> 01:47:40.920 one year. It goes through winter and bears the following 1910 01:47:41.000 --> 01:47:44.840 year prim acne bearing ones like the two prime arks. 1911 01:47:44.880 --> 01:47:47.239 I told you they're going to bear the first year 1912 01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:51.520 the shoot grows and also after that and arc just 1913 01:47:51.600 --> 01:47:54.720 means they were bred in Arkansas's our best blackberries that 1914 01:47:54.760 --> 01:47:56.840 we have down here now were all bred in Arkansas 1915 01:47:56.880 --> 01:47:58.079 at the University of Arkansas. 1916 01:47:59.319 --> 01:48:01.720 Well, I'll look those, I do.

This time we're going to go 1923 01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:25.079 to Mike in China, Texas. Hey, Mike, how can we 1924 01:48:25.119 --> 01:48:26.479 help see? 1925 01:48:26.560 --> 01:48:28.359 I have a little a problem. 1926 01:48:28.399 --> 01:48:31.399 I have a very old. 1927 01:48:31.560 --> 01:48:34.159 Kate jasmine plant that was my great grandfather's that we 1928 01:48:34.399 --> 01:48:35.399 moved several. 1929 01:48:35.079 --> 01:48:38.640 Times and I need to move it again. But it 1930 01:48:38.800 --> 01:48:40.079 was the best time. Or can I just take a 1931 01:48:40.079 --> 01:48:42.039 cutting and move it because my brothers did it before, 1932 01:48:42.119 --> 01:48:44.439 but he's no longer with us. 1933 01:48:45.279 --> 01:48:46.640 I have no idea how to move. 1934 01:48:48.439 --> 01:48:50.279 You said cape jasmine, right. 1935 01:48:50.840 --> 01:48:51.239 Yes, sirs. 1936 01:48:51.279 --> 01:48:53.800 The white flowers really sweet smell almost like a magnolia, 1937 01:48:53.880 --> 01:48:54.279 the sweeter. 1938 01:48:56.000 --> 01:48:59.560 All right, the best time is to get out of 1939 01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:02.079 this heat and let it cool off. So it may 1940 01:49:02.079 --> 01:49:06.079 be late October, it may be November. Either of those 1941 01:49:06.119 --> 01:49:10.319 are generally good. But you want to you want to 1942 01:49:10.359 --> 01:49:15.560 dig it and get wider rather than deeper. Right, Okay, roots, 1943 01:49:15.920 --> 01:49:19.079 if you if you can get down even six eight 1944 01:49:19.079 --> 01:49:22.159 inches deep is more way more than eight inches, way 1945 01:49:22.199 --> 01:49:24.159 more than enough. And you need to do on depth. 1946 01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:26.880 But about you, if you can get a foot out 1947 01:49:26.920 --> 01:49:29.720 on each side, slide it up onto a tarp. I've 1948 01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:31.880 done that and then sort of wrap the tarp around 1949 01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:33.960 the base of the plant and tied it off.

I hope you're 2030 01:53:59.720 --> 01:54:03.399 in joining the show so far, I certainly am lots 2031 01:54:03.399 --> 01:54:05.079 of things to talk about. I go several things I 2032 01:54:05.079 --> 01:54:07.439 want to visit with you about as we're doing that. 2033 01:54:08.119 --> 01:54:10.439 First thing I'm gonna do, though, is go out to 2034 01:54:10.600 --> 01:54:13.640 the heights and talk to Rhea, who has been patiently waiting. 2035 01:54:13.960 --> 01:54:15.399 Welcome to garden Line, Ria. 2036 01:54:16.399 --> 01:54:17.439 Thank you, good morning. 2037 01:54:17.840 --> 01:54:21.279 I have a about a twenty foot nashess crape myrtle 2038 01:54:21.399 --> 01:54:26.520 that the hurricane had kind of knocked over like it 2039 01:54:26.600 --> 01:54:29.079 was leaning, so the roots never kind of came out, 2040 01:54:29.279 --> 01:54:32.000 So we tied it and straightened it up and propped it. 2041 01:54:32.359 --> 01:54:36.680 How much longer should I leave it kind of tied tight, 2042 01:54:37.760 --> 01:54:39.800 because I wanted to kind of wait till after the 2043 01:54:39.840 --> 01:54:43.680 summer and any storms to kind of loosen it. But 2044 01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:46.640 it's got to grow, so I don't know how much longer, 2045 01:54:46.640 --> 01:54:47.800 I should leave it kind of. 2046 01:54:48.520 --> 01:54:52.319 Yeah, you know, supporting on a tree that size. Yeah, 2047 01:54:52.359 --> 01:54:56.199 it's gonna be very hard to make it stay where 2048 01:54:56.199 --> 01:54:59.239 you want it to stay now once, you know, if 2049 01:54:59.239 --> 01:55:02.039 it was a less three year old plant, you could 2050 01:55:02.079 --> 01:55:05.279 straighten it up, stake it for a while and hopefully 2051 01:55:05.319 --> 01:55:07.600 get a good root system, and then it would be resilient. 2052 01:55:08.359 --> 01:55:10.640 With one that high, you need to leave it a 2053 01:55:10.680 --> 01:55:15.479 long time. And even at that it's it's you know, 2054 01:55:15.600 --> 01:55:18.079 when it had its good, full strong root system, a 2055 01:55:18.199 --> 01:55:20.960 storm knocked it over. So now it's had a lot 2056 01:55:21.000 --> 01:55:23.239 of damage and it takes a long time for roots 2057 01:55:23.279 --> 01:55:26.640 to grow and get big and strong and anchor the plant. Well, 2058 01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:29.159 So if you can leave at steak for a few years, 2059 01:55:29.279 --> 01:55:32.079 I definitely need to do that. But just know that 2060 01:55:32.479 --> 01:55:35.199 it's going to be more likely to blow over in 2061 01:55:35.279 --> 01:55:37.520 future storms than other plants might be. 2062 01:55:38.640 --> 01:55:41.039 Oh them, okay, but I'll leave at state then. 2063 01:55:41.119 --> 01:55:44.880 Thank you so much, all right, real, thanks for the call. 2064 01:55:44.920 --> 01:55:52.800 Sorry to be the bear bad news. Oh no, that sure, okay, 2065 01:55:53.039 --> 01:55:56.880 you hear me talk about fertilizing the lawn. How about 2066 01:55:56.920 --> 01:55:59.960 as mighte? What's as might it? Actually? Technically I guess 2067 01:56:00.119 --> 01:56:02.640 you could call it a fertilizer because it's nutrients, but 2068 01:56:02.840 --> 01:56:05.479 instead of the big three on the bag nitrogen, phosphorus, 2069 01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:09.560 potassium on a fertilizer bag, azmite is trace minerals. It's 2070 01:56:09.600 --> 01:56:13.079 all the things that are needed in tiny qualities but 2071 01:56:13.319 --> 01:56:16.119 essential that would be things you know. Trace minerals are 2072 01:56:16.159 --> 01:56:18.479 things like iron and zinc and manganese and molibduum and 2073 01:56:18.520 --> 01:56:22.359 who knows a bunch of others. Azmite is what we 2074 01:56:22.439 --> 01:56:25.000 put down about once a year just to build up 2075 01:56:25.039 --> 01:56:28.279 the bank account of those nutrients. Putting it now is 2076 01:56:28.279 --> 01:56:30.399 not going to make your lawn takeoff growing. It's going 2077 01:56:30.479 --> 01:56:33.279 to build the bank account. So when the weather allows 2078 01:56:33.319 --> 01:56:35.640 your lawn to take off growing and when the moisture 2079 01:56:35.680 --> 01:56:38.600 and all that, the bank account is there for the 2080 01:56:38.640 --> 01:56:41.880 trace minerals as well. Azemite Texas dot Com is the 2081 01:56:41.920 --> 01:56:44.159 website if you want to learn a bit more about it. 2082 01:56:44.520 --> 01:56:46.279 Just remember you can put it on any month of 2083 01:56:46.279 --> 01:56:49.720 the year. About once a year's enough, and don't put 2084 01:56:49.720 --> 01:56:53.439 it in the same hopper as your fertilizer. Put out 2085 01:56:53.439 --> 01:56:56.840 the fertilizer and put out the azmite separately from it, 2086 01:56:56.920 --> 01:56:59.439 and it works really well that way. We're going to 2087 01:56:59.479 --> 01:57:02.520 now go to Chris and the Woodlands. Hy Chris, Welcome 2088 01:57:02.520 --> 01:57:03.279 to garden Line. 2089 01:57:04.279 --> 01:57:06.960 Hey, hi, Skip, thank you very much for having me. 2090 01:57:08.840 --> 01:57:09.359 You got. 2091 01:57:11.199 --> 01:57:15.600 So, I've got a got three store bought or male 2092 01:57:16.039 --> 01:57:22.359 order bot sweet Viburnhams out in front.

I don't 2095 01:57:29.680 --> 01:57:33.520 know if it's too much, but but the uh, the leaves, 2096 01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:38.159 the older leaves are extremely dark, and there's these white 2097 01:57:39.039 --> 01:57:41.680 these white pests that just won't go away. 2098 01:57:42.159 --> 01:57:44.880 They've tried every. 2099 01:57:46.359 --> 01:57:49.000 Yeah, are they flying around or are they on the 2100 01:57:49.039 --> 01:57:51.479 plant just standing on sitting on the plant. 2101 01:57:52.560 --> 01:57:55.560 Both they uh, you know, they still fly around it. 2102 01:57:55.840 --> 01:57:57.520 And then you know when you when you when you 2103 01:57:58.000 --> 01:58:00.880 move the bush, you know, or trying treated or something. 2104 01:58:00.880 --> 01:58:03.359 They just like scatter from underneath from on top.

There may be some meadia 2107 01:58:09.600 --> 01:58:11.880 bugs involved, but probably white flies. And you need to 2108 01:58:11.880 --> 01:58:17.159 put a systemic insecticide drenched into the soil around the plant. 2109 01:58:17.720 --> 01:58:21.920 It takes up that product and anything sucking juices out 2110 01:58:21.960 --> 01:58:24.119 of your plant, which is what white flies and meatia, 2111 01:58:24.159 --> 01:58:28.039 bugs and aphids and scale all due. It will kill 2112 01:58:28.039 --> 01:58:31.119 them because they're picking up the poison through the interior 2113 01:58:31.520 --> 01:58:35.479 juices of the plant. So you can find Do you 2114 01:58:35.479 --> 01:58:36.800 have a pin or pencil handy? 2115 01:58:37.600 --> 01:58:37.760 Yeah? 2116 01:58:37.840 --> 01:58:38.239 So sure do? 2117 01:58:38.399 --> 01:58:38.720 Thank you. 2118 01:58:40.039 --> 01:58:43.720 Okay, there's two ingredients that are sold in many different 2119 01:58:43.760 --> 01:58:45.880 brand names.

H Medina has several products that are good. 2133 01:59:32.039 --> 01:59:35.520 You know, fall it is transplanting season and they have 2134 01:59:35.560 --> 01:59:39.479 several products that are good for transplanting. One of them 2135 01:59:39.560 --> 01:59:41.800 in fact, I'm gonna I'm gonna recommend you do two. 2136 01:59:42.199 --> 01:59:46.600 I would recommend a combination of Medina has to grow 2137 01:59:46.720 --> 01:59:49.399 six twelve six. That's a plant food. It's got six 2138 01:59:49.399 --> 01:59:54.319 percent nitrogen, twelve percent phosphors, six percent potassium. Phosphor's very 2139 01:59:54.359 --> 01:59:58.399 important in root development. It also has Medina soil activator 2140 01:59:58.439 --> 02:00:00.840 in it, and other, let me say other good things. 2141 02:00:00.880 --> 02:00:04.840 It's excellent for transplanting. The other product is humate h 2142 02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:10.319 U m at humic acid by Medina. Now, humis improves 2143 02:00:10.399 --> 02:00:13.800 the soil. It improves the soil moisture retention by improving 2144 02:00:13.880 --> 02:00:17.800 the structure of soil. Humus is the final decomposition product 2145 02:00:17.880 --> 02:00:21.720 of compost. When compost goes past compost, it becomes it 2146 02:00:21.760 --> 02:00:26.000 heads toward humus. It got micro nutrients, macronutrients, and it 2147 02:00:26.039 --> 02:00:29.479 helps the physical properties of the soil and has other 2148 02:00:29.520 --> 02:00:31.960 benefits as well. So here's the bottom line. You're going 2149 02:00:32.000 --> 02:00:34.359 to put any transplant out in the garden, out in 2150 02:00:34.399 --> 02:00:38.680 the landscape beds, in the ground, tree, shrub rose, herbs, 2151 02:00:38.760 --> 02:00:42.720 perennial flowers, you name. It has to grow six to 2152 02:00:42.720 --> 02:00:48.720 twelve six and humate humic acid from Medina widely available 2153 02:00:49.159 --> 02:00:52.239 and very very effective at doing what they do. We're 2154 02:00:52.239 --> 02:00:55.000 going to give them if you love Medina samples today 2155 02:00:55.039 --> 02:00:57.920 down there at Wharton Feed and Ace where I'll be 2156 02:00:57.960 --> 02:01:00.520 from one to three. So come I pick up some samples. 2157 02:01:02.560 --> 02:01:06.199 Let's go now to Neph and Claire Lake. Hello Neph, 2158 02:01:06.359 --> 02:01:07.479 Welcome to Gardenline. 2159 02:01:08.199 --> 02:01:09.560 Hey, good morning, Skip. 2160 02:01:09.560 --> 02:01:10.079 How are you doing? 2161 02:01:13.039 --> 02:01:13.520 Can you hear me? 2162 02:01:14.399 --> 02:01:14.640 Good? 2163 02:01:14.680 --> 02:01:15.239 Hey, Skip? 2164 02:01:15.279 --> 02:01:18.960 A quick question, yes, sir, so in regards to. 2165 02:01:19.760 --> 02:01:22.279 I'm about to make a trip down to Ace Hardware. 2166 02:01:22.399 --> 02:01:27.479 It's the pre mergent, herbicide, the barricade, my fall fertilizer, 2167 02:01:27.520 --> 02:01:31.000 and my fung your side. Can you let me and 2168 02:01:31.119 --> 02:01:37.159 the listeners know which what do you recommend lane first? 2169 02:01:37.199 --> 02:01:38.880 In which order out of the all three? 2170 02:01:40.680 --> 02:01:44.920 All right, good, I'm gonna have to go to break Nephew. Okay. 2171 02:01:45.199 --> 02:01:48.279 We were visiting with Neph in clear Lake and he 2172 02:01:48.399 --> 02:01:53.039 was talking about the three products and the nitrofoss three 2173 02:01:53.119 --> 02:01:58.960 stuff or fall that would be the fertilizer, the weed control, 2174 02:01:59.119 --> 02:02:02.319 and the disease contro and he asked which order to 2175 02:02:02.439 --> 02:02:05.439 do those. The big answer to that is it doesn't 2176 02:02:05.479 --> 02:02:07.840 matter any order you want. You can do them all 2177 02:02:07.880 --> 02:02:10.239 on the same day. Now you wouldn't want to put 2178 02:02:10.279 --> 02:02:14.199 the granule barricade in the same hopper at the same 2179 02:02:14.319 --> 02:02:19.079 time as the fertilizer for fall, okay, because the particle 2180 02:02:19.119 --> 02:02:22.760 size is different. But if you went with your hopper 2181 02:02:22.840 --> 02:02:26.119 a fertilizer and then your hopper a barricade or in 2182 02:02:26.159 --> 02:02:29.119 the opposite order, either way is fine. It can all 2183 02:02:29.119 --> 02:02:34.079 be done. As far as timeliness, the most important two 2184 02:02:34.760 --> 02:02:39.560 are the barricade for weed prevention and the eagle for 2185 02:02:39.720 --> 02:02:42.920 disease prevention, because those if you wait too late, you're 2186 02:02:42.960 --> 02:02:45.560 too late. If the weeds are already up, it's getting 2187 02:02:45.600 --> 02:02:48.039 too late. If the disease is already in the lawn, 2188 02:02:48.199 --> 02:02:50.279 it's getting too late. And we never know. Maybe here 2189 02:02:50.319 --> 02:02:53.359 comes a cold front, some rain, and boom, both weeds 2190 02:02:53.399 --> 02:02:57.560 and brown patch appear pretty quick because the temperatures dropped. 2191 02:02:58.000 --> 02:03:01.239 So I would say that the fur liiser is the 2192 02:03:01.279 --> 02:03:04.560 most flexible one that you could wait on if you 2193 02:03:04.600 --> 02:03:07.279 couldn't get them all done in one day. But the 2194 02:03:07.319 --> 02:03:09.640 other two are just waiting on a good cold front 2195 02:03:09.640 --> 02:03:12.920 and some rain to show up. So that's how I 2196 02:03:12.960 --> 02:03:20.680 would do that. Does that help, Yes, it does skip okay, Yeah, 2197 02:03:20.720 --> 02:03:22.079 So you can do them all on the same day 2198 02:03:22.079 --> 02:03:24.359 if you want just just you know, don't put them 2199 02:03:24.359 --> 02:03:25.520 all in the same hopper. 2200 02:03:26.680 --> 02:03:31.199 Yeah, okay, okay, have you do you know if Nitrophos 2201 02:03:31.279 --> 02:03:34.600 does liquid applications. 2202 02:03:35.960 --> 02:03:38.920 Uh, well, the ones that we're talking about in the 2203 02:03:39.000 --> 02:03:42.520 Texas three step those are all granules and right right, 2204 02:03:42.600 --> 02:03:45.880 And I've been yeah to do like, yeah, they don't 2205 02:03:45.920 --> 02:03:51.239 have a barricade liquid for example, that would okay, I 2206 02:03:51.319 --> 02:03:56.479 was just wondering that knowledge. Okay, yeah, all right, man, 2207 02:03:56.520 --> 02:03:57.079 Well you're on. 2208 02:03:57.119 --> 02:04:00.880 The well, I appreciate it, all right, let me get you. 2209 02:04:00.960 --> 02:04:01.159 Let me. 2210 02:04:01.159 --> 02:04:02.039 I appreciate your call. 2211 02:04:03.000 --> 02:04:03.760 Yep, you're welcome. 2212 02:04:05.600 --> 02:04:08.880 All right, you take care Yep.

They carry them, 2217 02:04:20.640 --> 02:04:22.279 they're going to carry them. They're out there at the 2218 02:04:22.359 --> 02:04:26.000 Ace Hardware stores.

They did a program out of A and 2234 02:05:14.479 --> 02:05:17.520 M Extension Horticulture or excuse me, extension entomology a while 2235 02:05:17.560 --> 02:05:20.239 back that it was a program on tackle fireants and 2236 02:05:20.319 --> 02:05:24.239 fall as in football season.

Let's go to Tomball. Now we're gonna visit 2242 02:05:40.359 --> 02:05:42.520 with Jack. Hey John, Welcome to garden Line. 2243 02:05:43.479 --> 02:05:47.640 Good morning, Skip. I got another silly question for you. Uh, 2244 02:05:48.680 --> 02:05:51.520 I'm on a time cutch you. You can probably hear 2245 02:05:51.560 --> 02:05:54.840 a bunch of construction in the background. I wanted to 2246 02:05:54.840 --> 02:05:59.600 plant some eaglesons, but I want to know one shit on. 2247 02:06:00.039 --> 02:06:01.880 I know now is the perfect time, but I can't 2248 02:06:01.880 --> 02:06:04.560 do it because you're taken down part of my fence. 2249 02:06:05.439 --> 02:06:09.319 So what do you think the best go ahead? 2250 02:06:10.279 --> 02:06:13.279 It's fine, Yeah, it's fine. Now, it's fine, but you know, 2251 02:06:13.399 --> 02:06:15.920 as you get into later in October and November, even 2252 02:06:16.760 --> 02:06:19.159 those are also great times because it's cooled off a 2253 02:06:19.159 --> 02:06:22.439 little bit more. There's less stress from transplanting. So if 2254 02:06:22.520 --> 02:06:24.479 you want to buy them now, just set them off 2255 02:06:24.479 --> 02:06:26.800 in kind of a maybe morning sun area and just 2256 02:06:26.880 --> 02:06:29.479 keep them watered until you can get them in the ground, 2257 02:06:30.039 --> 02:06:32.039 or you can wait and pick them up later. Sometimes 2258 02:06:32.079 --> 02:06:34.880 the sales are better earlier, and sometimes the selection is 2259 02:06:34.880 --> 02:06:37.760 better earlier, so you may go ahead and grab them. 2260 02:06:37.760 --> 02:06:41.520 But either way, yeah, October, it even gets better as 2261 02:06:41.560 --> 02:06:44.840 we moved toward October and November for planting shrubs and trees. 2262 02:06:44.880 --> 02:06:47.600 Okay, then first of the year after the frost correct 2263 02:06:50.479 --> 02:06:54.479 like faboys again or yeah, yeah, you can. 2264 02:06:54.359 --> 02:06:57.800 Do it anytime starting from November. Here's a trade off, 2265 02:06:57.840 --> 02:07:02.600 John in in the early part of the fall through 2266 02:07:02.680 --> 02:07:06.479 winter planting season, you give the plants the most time 2267 02:07:06.640 --> 02:07:11.960 to grow roots, establishing roots until summer arrives. The later, 2268 02:07:12.239 --> 02:07:14.760 when you get in the colder part, it's less stress 2269 02:07:14.880 --> 02:07:18.279 on the plants to plant those transplants. And so that's 2270 02:07:18.319 --> 02:07:20.680 why I kind of aim for late October November if 2271 02:07:20.680 --> 02:07:23.319 we were to pick ideal. But listen, you can plant 2272 02:07:23.359 --> 02:07:25.520 an Egleston holly any month of the year. It's just 2273 02:07:25.520 --> 02:07:28.000 when it's hot, blazing hot in summer. You got to 2274 02:07:28.039 --> 02:07:29.680 water it with just a little amount of water every 2275 02:07:29.720 --> 02:07:37.159 day to keep the thing alive. But you can do it. Okay, Thanks, thanks, thanks, 2276 02:07:37.640 --> 02:07:41.960 thanks for the question. Appreciate that very very much. Let's 2277 02:07:41.960 --> 02:07:44.439 see here, who's next. I believe we got Malcolm in 2278 02:07:44.840 --> 02:07:47.159 northwest Houston. Hey, Malcolm, how can we help? 2279 02:07:48.239 --> 02:07:48.439 Hey? 2280 02:07:48.439 --> 02:07:48.960 Good morning? 2281 02:07:49.000 --> 02:07:49.159 Hey. 2282 02:07:49.199 --> 02:07:52.199 I was curious, is there any rhyme or reason to 2283 02:07:52.359 --> 02:07:55.960 the numbers that they put the setting numbers on a spreader, 2284 02:07:56.720 --> 02:07:59.800 you know, four point five or seven? You know, sometimes 2285 02:07:59.800 --> 02:08:02.359 sometimes you're spreaders on the back of the bag and 2286 02:08:02.399 --> 02:08:06.039 sometimes it's not so I mean is does four point 2287 02:08:06.079 --> 02:08:09.920 five have a meaning like four point five pounds? 2288 02:08:11.840 --> 02:08:15.920 No, it doesn't. It does have that meaning. And here's 2289 02:08:16.119 --> 02:08:20.039 here is a sheet. Actually Randy Lemon, I'll give him 2290 02:08:20.039 --> 02:08:22.760 credit because he did this, developed it a while back, 2291 02:08:22.800 --> 02:08:25.039 and I think it's very very helpful. And are you 2292 02:08:25.039 --> 02:08:27.920 putting out fertilizer or a pre emergent harveside? Which one? 2293 02:08:28.920 --> 02:08:29.199 Nothing? 2294 02:08:29.279 --> 02:08:29.720 Right now? 2295 02:08:29.760 --> 02:08:31.520 I'm just curious in general, I've. 2296 02:08:31.399 --> 02:08:32.039 Been wondering that. 2297 02:08:32.399 --> 02:08:35.800 Okay, So what we do is we say, you know, 2298 02:08:35.920 --> 02:08:38.680 read the If you've got a such and such brands 2299 02:08:38.720 --> 02:08:41.119 breadder and on the bag it says such and such brand, 2300 02:08:41.199 --> 02:08:43.600 then it's easy. Already you know what to do, right, 2301 02:08:43.640 --> 02:08:48.479 you don't know for fertilizer. For fertilizers, and all of 2302 02:08:48.479 --> 02:08:52.479 you listening to me out there, people miss here stuff. 2303 02:08:52.560 --> 02:08:56.399 So please listen carefully to this. It matters a lot 2304 02:08:57.520 --> 02:09:01.439 for fertilizers if you go a knock two above half. 2305 02:09:01.920 --> 02:09:04.800 So let's say there were twenty notches on your spreader, 2306 02:09:05.159 --> 02:09:08.159 just as an example, you would do eleven or twelve 2307 02:09:08.720 --> 02:09:13.800 as your best guess for fertilizers. For pre emergent herbicides, 2308 02:09:14.239 --> 02:09:19.039 it's different. We do a notch or above one quarter. 2309 02:09:19.399 --> 02:09:22.600 So going back to our twenty notches five or six 2310 02:09:23.039 --> 02:09:26.479 would be what you said it on for pre emergent herbicides, 2311 02:09:26.840 --> 02:09:31.199 fertilizers a notch or two above half pre emerged herbicides 2312 02:09:31.720 --> 02:09:34.960 a notch above one quarter, and that'll get you as 2313 02:09:34.960 --> 02:09:37.239 close as you're going to get. And if ever you're 2314 02:09:37.279 --> 02:09:40.720 in doubt anybody, and I do this myself, I'll set 2315 02:09:40.760 --> 02:09:43.920 mind too low, not put enough out, because I know 2316 02:09:44.039 --> 02:09:46.600 if I finish the yard and have some extra, I 2317 02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:49.199 can come back across the other way and get an 2318 02:09:49.199 --> 02:09:53.239 even more even spreading of product. If you go north 2319 02:09:53.279 --> 02:09:56.960 south and then east west, that's the most carefully blended 2320 02:09:57.039 --> 02:10:00.760 even application you can get. So it's better to go 2321 02:10:00.960 --> 02:10:03.319 under than to go over, because if you get three 2322 02:10:03.399 --> 02:10:04.960 fourths of the way through the yard and you run 2323 02:10:04.960 --> 02:10:08.159 out of fertilizer, yeah, that's a problem. You know, we 2324 02:10:08.279 --> 02:10:09.199 got to go get more. 2325 02:10:10.560 --> 02:10:14.479 Awesome all rank you very much, Yes, sir. 2326 02:10:14.800 --> 02:10:19.800 You bet appreciate appreciate your call very much. Uh, let's 2327 02:10:19.800 --> 02:10:22.479 see we're going to go now to Carolyn and bel Air. 2328 02:10:22.600 --> 02:10:24.359 Hey Carolyn, welcome to garden Line. 2329 02:10:25.079 --> 02:10:31.000 Thank you, good morning. I had foundation work done back 2330 02:10:31.079 --> 02:10:36.159 in December, and when they did the foundation work, they 2331 02:10:36.239 --> 02:10:39.800 had pulled up some of my azaleas, and I had 2332 02:10:39.840 --> 02:10:45.239 about a mature azaleas. Now I only have two that 2333 02:10:45.319 --> 02:10:48.039 are really healthy, one that's hanging on and one that 2334 02:10:48.079 --> 02:10:55.119 I have doubts about. But I'm wondering to replace those. 2335 02:10:55.760 --> 02:10:59.880 It's a front bed. What would you suggest I do? 2336 02:11:01.159 --> 02:11:05.640 Should I get more azaleas or should I get something 2337 02:11:05.680 --> 02:11:07.479 else that would grow faster? 2338 02:11:10.279 --> 02:11:13.960 Well, the shrub you want is the shrub you want. 2339 02:11:14.119 --> 02:11:16.319 So if you like azalies, if you like having them 2340 02:11:16.319 --> 02:11:19.319 all across there, I would do azalias. If you start 2341 02:11:19.319 --> 02:11:21.359 doing other shrubs, then you kind of have to look 2342 02:11:21.399 --> 02:11:22.920 at how you lay them out and how big they're 2343 02:11:22.920 --> 02:11:24.760 going to get, and make you know, make sure that 2344 02:11:25.199 --> 02:11:27.680 everything is put where it belongs so there's room for 2345 02:11:27.720 --> 02:11:31.199 it to grow and spread. There's a lot of great shrubs, 2346 02:11:31.880 --> 02:11:35.119 but you know, you make the decision. And if you 2347 02:11:35.199 --> 02:11:39.479 want azaleas, you definitely want to get a good quality 2348 02:11:39.560 --> 02:11:43.399 mix for acid loving plants, a blend, a soil blend 2349 02:11:43.880 --> 02:11:46.680 that's high quality to go in those beds. Make those 2350 02:11:46.760 --> 02:11:50.159 azalie roots as happy as you can, and then plant 2351 02:11:50.800 --> 02:11:53.840 if you fertilize, when you fertilize. You want to use 2352 02:11:53.880 --> 02:11:57.640 an acid loving fertilizer, and there are many on the market. Microlife, 2353 02:11:57.640 --> 02:12:00.439 for example, has one in a pink bag that's for 2354 02:12:00.560 --> 02:12:04.720 acid loving plants. There are others on the market UH 2355 02:12:04.760 --> 02:12:07.840 and fertilized with that. And if you keep them adequately 2356 02:12:07.920 --> 02:12:12.479 watered where they're always moist, not soggy moist, and you 2357 02:12:12.640 --> 02:12:17.399 are fertilizing regularly according to the cut the UH instructions 2358 02:12:17.439 --> 02:12:20.359 on the bag, you can get pretty good growth of those. 2359 02:12:20.359 --> 02:12:22.680 As now, anything you plant's going to sit there and 2360 02:12:22.720 --> 02:12:25.920 pout for a while, you know, after travel. I think 2361 02:12:25.960 --> 02:12:28.119 they kind of just sit there, but then they take 2362 02:12:28.159 --> 02:12:32.359 off and so so yeah, I think you either way 2363 02:12:32.560 --> 02:12:33.359 is a good idea. 2364 02:12:34.680 --> 02:12:37.600 Is it too late to trim back the ones I 2365 02:12:37.720 --> 02:12:41.159 have now because they they've really gotten big? 2366 02:12:43.159 --> 02:12:45.319 For the for the fact that the plants are too 2367 02:12:45.319 --> 02:12:48.159 big and the plants will survive that pruning. Yes, you 2368 02:12:48.159 --> 02:12:51.720 can prune now, but you're cutting away the bloom buds, 2369 02:12:52.319 --> 02:12:55.880 the spring bloom buds that you enjoy. Those are formed 2370 02:12:55.920 --> 02:13:00.479 in late summer and fall, So prune now. Every pruning 2371 02:13:00.560 --> 02:13:04.359 is taking away bloom buds. So okay, that's the trade off. 2372 02:13:04.439 --> 02:13:07.239 I unless you have to get it pruned. I would 2373 02:13:07.279 --> 02:13:09.800 wait until after the bloom is over and then do 2374 02:13:09.880 --> 02:13:10.439 your pruning. 2375 02:13:11.439 --> 02:13:16.479 Okay, so that's another six months. Thank you very much. 2376 02:13:16.560 --> 02:13:20.159 All right, Carolyn, thank you. I appreciate that.

I'm going to head 2419 02:15:36.000 --> 02:15:39.359 now to Sugarland and talk to Ross. Hello, Ross, Welcome 2420 02:15:39.399 --> 02:15:40.079 to garden Line. 2421 02:15:40.119 --> 02:15:45.520 Hey, hey, Skip, good morning. I've got funny saying. I 2422 02:15:45.600 --> 02:15:50.119 got three Japanese you in the front yard, kind of 2423 02:15:50.359 --> 02:15:53.840 basically little same light, same water and everything. Well, there's 2424 02:15:53.880 --> 02:16:00.439 one the one plant on my right, individual stocks start off. 2425 02:16:00.479 --> 02:16:02.680 I've had these things for three years, three or four years, 2426 02:16:02.680 --> 02:16:06.520 and it's one place on the right I've replaced. This 2427 02:16:06.600 --> 02:16:08.800 is the third time I've replaced it because as the 2428 02:16:08.840 --> 02:16:11.560 stalks die off, it gets too thin to match the 2429 02:16:11.600 --> 02:16:14.640 other one. So I bring in another full full plant. 2430 02:16:15.399 --> 02:16:16.199 You have any. 2431 02:16:16.039 --> 02:16:18.640 Idea of what it's called, it's just not the whole plant, 2432 02:16:18.760 --> 02:16:21.399 just individual just slowly one dies two diyes. 2433 02:16:21.239 --> 02:16:25.199 Three diyes. Yeah, and you said, Japanese you, that's what 2434 02:16:25.239 --> 02:16:30.239 you meant, right, Japanese you, right, right, Okay, Uh, it's 2435 02:16:30.279 --> 02:16:33.159 going to be that when on any plant you get 2436 02:16:33.200 --> 02:16:38.120 individual shoots dying, it's either a little borer it's affecting 2437 02:16:38.159 --> 02:16:42.040 those stalks, cutting off the moisture flow. But on a 2438 02:16:42.120 --> 02:16:47.440 Japanese you that's the unlikely cause but possible, or a 2439 02:16:47.559 --> 02:16:51.440 canker disease, and it's a little disease that infects the stem, 2440 02:16:51.719 --> 02:16:54.120 kills the tissues that take water up and down, and 2441 02:16:54.159 --> 02:16:56.120 then the whole thing turns brown. It's just like you're 2442 02:16:56.120 --> 02:16:59.719 purened it off essentially. Uh and uh So I would 2443 02:16:59.719 --> 02:17:03.000 follow the brown down to where it goes from brown 2444 02:17:03.040 --> 02:17:05.879 to green and look around the stem there and see 2445 02:17:05.879 --> 02:17:08.920 if you see splits in the bark or any holes 2446 02:17:08.920 --> 02:17:11.639 and little tiny holes in the bark or anything like that, 2447 02:17:12.280 --> 02:17:16.280 and that's going to point you to the solution. Normally 2448 02:17:16.319 --> 02:17:18.280 we do not have to spray up in these views. 2449 02:17:18.399 --> 02:17:22.840 They just are not prone to diseases impressed problems. But 2450 02:17:23.639 --> 02:17:26.799 any plant, it could happen. The other thing, if it's 2451 02:17:26.840 --> 02:17:29.559 happening following a hard, hard phraeze that they weren't ready for, 2452 02:17:29.959 --> 02:17:34.479 that could be a cause. But I think probably some 2453 02:17:34.520 --> 02:17:37.120 sort of a shoop canker is what you're looking at. 2454 02:17:37.159 --> 02:17:39.479 And that's my best guess without being there and seeing it. 2455 02:17:40.520 --> 02:17:44.159 Okay, so I mean, yeah it eventually the whole stock 2456 02:17:44.280 --> 02:17:46.600 to the ground goes and I cut it off at 2457 02:17:46.639 --> 02:17:48.959 the bottom. I mean, so you can't think anything like 2458 02:17:49.000 --> 02:17:50.719 a it's a wet spot in. 2459 02:17:50.639 --> 02:17:51.600 An area or. 2460 02:17:53.799 --> 02:17:55.840 I mean, there's no way to treat what you're talking 2461 02:17:55.840 --> 02:17:57.120 about the cankers. 2462 02:17:57.959 --> 02:18:02.319 Not really. I mean could do fungicidal sprays on it, 2463 02:18:02.360 --> 02:18:05.600 but generally that's not needed. When you prune it out. 2464 02:18:06.239 --> 02:18:09.280 You need to go below the brown into the green, 2465 02:18:09.600 --> 02:18:13.000 make your cut, and then spray your printers with life 2466 02:18:13.040 --> 02:18:16.319 slid between each cut, so if it is a disease 2467 02:18:16.360 --> 02:18:19.079 in there, you're not spreading it. Okay. That's the last 2468 02:18:19.120 --> 02:18:20.319 tip that I can give you. 2469 02:18:21.079 --> 02:18:27.719 Is great lilt oh on the pruning prun so that 2470 02:18:27.840 --> 02:18:30.200 if you cut in and you got bacteria now on 2471 02:18:30.280 --> 02:18:34.000 that prunter from the infection, you won't take that bacteria 2472 02:18:34.079 --> 02:18:36.000 and make a new wound with it. 2473 02:18:36.079 --> 02:18:40.479 Okay, russa for you on it, But good luck, you bet, 2474 02:18:40.520 --> 02:18:42.639 good luck getting under control of that. We're going to 2475 02:18:42.719 --> 02:18:45.680 go now to Kay in Houston. Hey, Kate, welcome to 2476 02:18:45.719 --> 02:18:48.120 garden Line. How can we help hi? 2477 02:18:48.239 --> 02:18:49.079 Thank you so much. 2478 02:18:49.719 --> 02:18:54.600 I have two really healthy looking hibiscus and pots, and 2479 02:18:54.680 --> 02:18:57.520 they're green and wonderful, and I've fed them and they 2480 02:18:57.639 --> 02:19:00.959 loaded with blooms, and then before they loaded with buds, 2481 02:19:01.000 --> 02:19:04.559 before they bloom, they just fall off. So I don't 2482 02:19:04.559 --> 02:19:08.360 know if I've got bricks or aphid or rapids or 2483 02:19:08.920 --> 02:19:09.879 what's wrong with them. 2484 02:19:10.559 --> 02:19:13.280 That's unusual. Yeah, there are some little pests that can 2485 02:19:13.319 --> 02:19:15.559 do that, of course, steps getting the flower and mess 2486 02:19:15.600 --> 02:19:18.920 up flowers, but generally not that big of a problem. 2487 02:19:19.600 --> 02:19:22.399 It could be, it could be a some moisture situation. 2488 02:19:22.479 --> 02:19:25.079 Do you see any yellowing leaves on the plants of 2489 02:19:25.200 --> 02:19:25.799 older leaves? 2490 02:19:26.120 --> 02:19:31.200 No, very few, like maybe one or two, but there's 2491 02:19:31.280 --> 02:19:32.000 huge bushes. 2492 02:19:33.920 --> 02:19:39.200 Yeah, I'm just just spraying. Yeah, I hate to send 2493 02:19:39.239 --> 02:19:41.440 you out spray and everything under the sun, so like 2494 02:19:41.479 --> 02:19:43.239 we don't know what, so we're gonna throw everything but 2495 02:19:43.319 --> 02:19:46.760 the kitchen sink at it. That's not my general approach. 2496 02:19:46.879 --> 02:19:51.600 But your spray and insecticide on them. It's hard to 2497 02:19:51.639 --> 02:19:56.879 get those insecticides in the flower, so I'm just not 2498 02:19:57.000 --> 02:20:01.559 inclined to suggest you do that one. Okay, moisture best 2499 02:20:01.600 --> 02:20:07.200 you can. There are funguses funde that can attack blooms. 2500 02:20:07.280 --> 02:20:10.120 It happens to roses a lot, especially during wet weather, 2501 02:20:10.879 --> 02:20:14.680 and infects the pedals and blooms. But let's see this 2502 02:20:15.040 --> 02:20:17.079 if you can, I'm gonna put you on hold. If 2503 02:20:17.120 --> 02:20:20.159 you can take some pictures of it early on, you know, 2504 02:20:20.360 --> 02:20:23.680 just a number of different pictures of this symptom, and 2505 02:20:23.719 --> 02:20:26.559 then okay, send them to me by email. Let me look. 2506 02:20:26.799 --> 02:20:29.079 Maybe I'll see something else in the pictures and I'll 2507 02:20:29.120 --> 02:20:30.879 be happy to help. So I'm gonna put you on hold. 2508 02:20:31.159 --> 02:20:33.159 Chris is going to pick up and he will give 2509 02:20:33.200 --> 02:20:35.040 you an email to send those. Make sure the pictures 2510 02:20:35.040 --> 02:20:37.399 are in good sharp focus and is show me one 2511 02:20:37.399 --> 02:20:39.040 of the whole bush, but then show me as close 2512 02:20:39.079 --> 02:20:41.239 as you can get to the blooms. That's helpful too. 2513 02:20:41.079 --> 02:20:43.959 Okay, Okay, thank you so much. 2514 02:20:44.120 --> 02:20:48.639 All right, you got a little bit of a walk 2515 02:20:48.680 --> 02:20:50.200 off the earth.

Boy, I have fun with one 2551 02:22:39.239 --> 02:22:42.520 of those. At Buchan is the garden center. Let's go 2552 02:22:42.639 --> 02:22:46.239 now to Mario and clearly, Hey Mario, welcome to garden Line. 2553 02:22:46.920 --> 02:22:49.920 Hey Skiff, thanks for taking my call. I have a 2554 02:22:49.920 --> 02:22:54.319 couple of things I put Yo pound Holly's as a 2555 02:22:54.680 --> 02:23:01.000 kind of a hedge around my beds. Always had boxes 2556 02:23:01.159 --> 02:23:05.639 before and replaced them because they weren't doing well, and 2557 02:23:05.879 --> 02:23:09.079 so I'm not familiar with what these things do. But 2558 02:23:09.200 --> 02:23:14.799 the tips are turning yellow. Is that normal or is 2559 02:23:15.079 --> 02:23:16.239 there's something going on? 2560 02:23:18.200 --> 02:23:22.239 No, it's iron deficiency and that's not unusual on Holly's 2561 02:23:22.280 --> 02:23:25.079 in general, especially if your pH is a little high. 2562 02:23:25.239 --> 02:23:28.040 What I would recommend is begin for the rest of 2563 02:23:28.079 --> 02:23:31.200 those Holly's life to fertilize them with an acid loving 2564 02:23:31.799 --> 02:23:35.920 plant fertilizer. And there's different things in the market for that, 2565 02:23:36.079 --> 02:23:42.040 like for fertilizer for acid loving plants. Microlife has their 2566 02:23:42.440 --> 02:23:44.879 acid loving plant type and a kind of a pinkish 2567 02:23:44.920 --> 02:23:48.440 bag that works really well. But it's just going forward. 2568 02:23:48.520 --> 02:23:51.600 Everything you fertilize, you use that. In the meantime, gets 2569 02:23:51.600 --> 02:23:57.319 you some keylated iron kelated. It's c H E L 2570 02:23:57.399 --> 02:24:01.079 A T ED. Follow the label and apply it. It 2571 02:24:01.159 --> 02:24:03.239 is a form of iron that doesn't tie up to 2572 02:24:03.319 --> 02:24:06.280 the soil as fast and the plants can get it. 2573 02:24:06.760 --> 02:24:08.799 So sprinkle it around the planet at the rate the 2574 02:24:08.879 --> 02:24:12.680 label says, and watered in really good and you're going 2575 02:24:12.760 --> 02:24:18.280 to be able to provide that quick boost to you know, 2576 02:24:18.319 --> 02:24:20.840 to get that iron endo the plant. There's probably enough 2577 02:24:20.840 --> 02:24:26.239 iron in the soil, it just can't get to the plant. Now, 2578 02:24:26.360 --> 02:24:29.000 you're okay. And clear Lake, so if you'll go, if 2579 02:24:29.000 --> 02:24:31.040 you'll go to the M and D clear Lake Ace 2580 02:24:31.079 --> 02:24:33.600 Hardware on Bay Area Boulevard, they're going to have those 2581 02:24:33.680 --> 02:24:34.799 kinds of products. 2582 02:24:35.159 --> 02:24:37.719 Yeah, I use them, and I'll run over. 2583 02:24:37.760 --> 02:24:38.559 There are students. 2584 02:24:38.559 --> 02:24:44.559 We're done. Also, I'm in my front lawn. I'm seeing 2585 02:24:44.600 --> 02:24:47.559 a lot of weeds, surprisingly because the lawn was really 2586 02:24:47.600 --> 02:24:53.239 hearty and mush, and I bought a reed beater complete 2587 02:24:53.280 --> 02:24:57.079 from Bowden. Is it a good idea to put that down? 2588 02:24:57.159 --> 02:24:57.319 Now? 2589 02:25:01.040 --> 02:25:03.600 It's a little hot, it's a little hot to apply 2590 02:25:03.719 --> 02:25:07.440 weed beater to your lens. If it cools off a 2591 02:25:07.440 --> 02:25:11.639 little bit, we get our daily highs mid eighties or below, 2592 02:25:12.040 --> 02:25:14.920 that would be something you could use. Just remember that 2593 02:25:15.000 --> 02:25:18.319 your broad leaf weeds, that's what that controls, not grasp, 2594 02:25:18.360 --> 02:25:21.079 but broadly. Those broad leaf weeds are going to be 2595 02:25:21.120 --> 02:25:25.280 mostly dying off already when cool weather hits, So it'd 2596 02:25:25.360 --> 02:25:28.000 be next spring, early before it gets above eighty five 2597 02:25:28.040 --> 02:25:31.319 when you would use that product again. But yes, just 2598 02:25:31.440 --> 02:25:33.200 let it cool off a little bit, and if we 2599 02:25:33.239 --> 02:25:35.959 get close maybe the mid to upper eighties, if you'll 2600 02:25:35.959 --> 02:25:37.959 do it really early in the day when it's the 2601 02:25:38.040 --> 02:25:40.959 coolest time of the day, that would also be okay 2602 02:25:41.000 --> 02:25:42.239 for that bon eyed weed beater. 2603 02:25:43.360 --> 02:25:45.120 Okay, And then we'd it be all right to do 2604 02:25:45.200 --> 02:25:48.120 it my winter. Would it be all right then? Once 2605 02:25:48.159 --> 02:25:51.399 I've put that down to use my winter fertilizer. 2606 02:25:54.000 --> 02:25:55.799 Oh yeah, you could do it before or after that. 2607 02:25:55.879 --> 02:25:56.799 It's unrelated. 2608 02:25:57.840 --> 02:26:00.559 Okay, good. And then what about plants? What do I 2609 02:26:00.639 --> 02:26:02.600 do with the plants for the fall? 2610 02:26:05.520 --> 02:26:07.520 I've got a I'm not sure what you're asking me. 2611 02:26:08.280 --> 02:26:09.239 Oh, well, I. 2612 02:26:09.239 --> 02:26:13.399 Want to fertilize. I understand that it's time to fertilize 2613 02:26:13.600 --> 02:26:16.280 trees and other plants. 2614 02:26:17.440 --> 02:26:19.600 Yeah, for new things that you put in the ground, 2615 02:26:19.639 --> 02:26:21.520 you can do that. We just want to be careful 2616 02:26:21.600 --> 02:26:26.639 for fall for the other plants to not stimulate late 2617 02:26:26.680 --> 02:26:29.639 season growth that's tender and it is more likely to 2618 02:26:29.680 --> 02:26:32.159 get by a hard freeze that might show up a 2619 02:26:32.200 --> 02:26:37.600 little early. So, especially things that are semi hardy, you 2620 02:26:37.680 --> 02:26:39.440 want to be kind of careful. So I don't do 2621 02:26:39.559 --> 02:26:42.280 a lot of fall fertilizing in general to those plants, 2622 02:26:42.280 --> 02:26:43.520 but we do for the lawns. 2623 02:26:44.440 --> 02:26:47.799 Okay, okay, all right, Well, as usual, you're terristic. 2624 02:26:48.639 --> 02:26:49.239 It's a great deal. 2625 02:26:49.319 --> 02:26:49.639 Thank you. 2626 02:26:51.440 --> 02:26:54.239 Thanks for being listener, Mario. I appreciate that a lot. 2627 02:26:54.719 --> 02:26:56.879 Let's see, we're going to go now to Oliver in 2628 02:26:56.959 --> 02:26:59.399 North Houston. Hey, Oliver, welcome to garden Line. 2629 02:27:00.120 --> 02:27:05.280 When morning skip this our first stem collar a problem 2630 02:27:05.360 --> 02:27:08.319 with some solid plants that I have, they're just about 2631 02:27:09.280 --> 02:27:12.760 producing fruits. Well, I've noticed some of them are starting 2632 02:27:12.840 --> 02:27:15.479 to die. The plants are dying. Could you see why 2633 02:27:15.520 --> 02:27:16.120 they're dying? 2634 02:27:18.079 --> 02:27:18.959 What kind of plant? 2635 02:27:20.920 --> 02:27:25.120 Soril or high biscus at any call of Jamaican high 2636 02:27:25.120 --> 02:27:29.040 biscus or roselle, they have different names with it. 2637 02:27:29.520 --> 02:27:33.079 Yeah, yeah, I don't know why they're dying. It could 2638 02:27:33.120 --> 02:27:35.000 be due to a lack of moisture. It could be 2639 02:27:35.040 --> 02:27:37.360 due to damage to the roots. It could be from 2640 02:27:37.520 --> 02:27:40.520 keeping them too wet and the roots get root rot. 2641 02:27:41.440 --> 02:27:43.559 So you know, a lot of things can kill a plant, 2642 02:27:43.639 --> 02:27:46.120 and just the symptom that it's dying, I can't really 2643 02:27:46.120 --> 02:27:48.399 tell you exactly which of the things that is. 2644 02:27:48.760 --> 02:27:51.719 Well, I have not been wanting it a lot neither, 2645 02:27:52.280 --> 02:27:55.879 you know. Just there. I have about seven plants and 2646 02:27:56.520 --> 02:27:59.360 one saty to die, then another one so do not 2647 02:27:59.520 --> 02:28:01.799 die on at the same time. And they just about 2648 02:28:01.959 --> 02:28:07.159 producing some fruit, you know, the fruits red buds.
