WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:00.560 Rickard. 2 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:16.760 It's a trim just watch him as many. 3 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:35.159 Birth things sor. 4 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:37.759 Sun good Sunday morning. Hey, welcome to garden Line. We 5 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.320 have a lot of gardening types of things to talk 6 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.560 about today, including your questions. By the way, you would 7 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.560 like to ask a question seven one three two one 8 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.799 two K t R. H. Should be happy to visit 9 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.840 with you and help you have a more bountiful garden 10 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.560 and a beautiful landscape. That's what we're here for. And uh, 11 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.719 I've got a few things I'd like to visit about 12 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.600 this morning. Definitely, this is the season for the turf 13 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.120 to wake up and take off running boy. This week 14 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.480 a little rainstorm coming in tonight, but the Monday, Tuesday, 15 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.319 and Wednesday are gonna be perfect weather for all of 16 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.319 our warm seas and plants to take off and grow. 17 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.920 Our Turf's gonna wait, it's gonna be a huge difference 18 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.760 in the way your long looks between now today and 19 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.840 the way to look on let's say about Thursday. For sure, 20 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.400 we got some rain coming out at the end of 21 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.680 the week on Thursday and Friday, and then as far 22 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.280 as it looks now, a good weekend next weekend too, 23 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.120 which that's always important. Good Sunday weekends. That's that makes 24 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.719 it nice. But Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, oh my goodness, I'm 25 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.840 gonna spend a lot of that time out in my 26 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.159 yard and h it's because I've got some catching up 27 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.920 to do. There's an old saying that the Copplers kids 28 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.439 go barefoot. I told somebody that the other day, and they, 29 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.239 you know, kind of were thinking, well, that may mean 30 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.760 somehow they're connecting to the soil, you know, walking barefoot, 31 00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.799 connecting to the earth, that kind of thing. No, that's 32 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.760 not it means. What it means is that the guy 33 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:04.680 who makes the shoes, he don't have time to make 34 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.039 shoes for his own family kids are going barefoot. Well, 35 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.280 when it comes to horticulture, sometimes that's true too. And 36 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.120 you know, yesterday I was out had a really good 37 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.719 time at the Home and Garden show at the Berry Center. 38 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.360 That was Cipher Home and Garden Show. That was a 39 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.080 great time. Thanks for everybody that came out for that. 40 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.680 Good to visit with you and meet some of the listeners. Anyway, 41 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.479 I was running around doing that and other things like that. 42 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.639 The horticultural endeavors I'm up to. So bottom line is, yeah, 43 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.960 come home and It's like it's a good thing that 44 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.879 radio is not a visual medium. People could see me 45 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.439 standing in the slawn right now, they might just turn 46 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.080 off the radio do something else now. Seriously, it's not 47 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.280 that bad. But I do have some clean enough to do. 48 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.919 Our lawns have a lot of dead material in them, 49 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.400 and just like an ornamental grass in your flower bed, 50 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:55.479 if you cut it back at the end of winter, 51 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.120 when you cut that grass back, the fresh new growth 52 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.360 comes out. I was looking at some neighborhoods were in 53 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.080 the Copper Field area of Houston yesterday since I was 54 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.879 in that area, and just notice they'd cut all the 55 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.919 grasses back in this esplanade. Oh man, they look good, 56 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.639 fresh growth already coming out. Do you have to cut 57 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.960 a grass back? No, Nature doesn't cut a grass back. 58 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.240 Nature occasionally sends a thunderstorm and lightning strike causes a 59 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.560 fire that burns across the prairie and burns all the 60 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.719 dead material back and it comes out looking good again. 61 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.560 But no, nature doesn't cut the grass back, but it 62 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.520 would look better if it did, and so will your 63 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.960 ornamental clumps of grasses. And the same is true with 64 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.919 your lawn. You don't have to scalp back or cut 65 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.719 back in the spring, but it looks better get all 66 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.879 that old, dead material out of there. And we had 67 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.240 a good hard freezer two this year that really burned 68 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.840 my grass. My lawn just turned tan real quick with 69 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.719 the fryback of the freeze. It's all coming back out 70 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.840 green again. It's time for me to clean that up. 71 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.879 But don't throw that away. It's good material, good for 72 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.599 your garden, good for your flower bed. You can mix 73 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.840 it into the soil, those clippings and things, let them 74 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.479 decompose a little bit and then plant, or you can 75 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.639 just use them like I do, as either a maulch 76 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.520 on top of the soil or walkway material. When there's 77 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.879 not so much of the clippings, I just recycle them 78 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.360 back into the lawn. But I'm about to have a 79 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.000 lot of organic material trimmed back from all the dead 80 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.360 and then the new what's now become new living green 81 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.639 grass coming up. Getting all that trimmed out, it's going 82 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.720 to create a lot probably too much to mulch back. 83 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.120 And my mower doesn't do as good a job at 84 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.480 mulching as I wish it did. I'm looking into switching 85 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.120 a blade out, and they even have another more that 86 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.439 I'm starting to use that I think is going to 87 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.160 do a better job at that. But recycling is the 88 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.800 way nature does it. It just is the way nobody 89 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.160 rakes the forest or bags the meadow. Nobody rakes the 90 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.480 forest or bags the meadow. Nature recycles naturally, and you 91 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.519 can too at your yard, and we should. It's a 92 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.920 good way to go. Now, when do we not come 93 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.600 clippings two times? One when it's rained and rained and 94 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.079 rained in its summertime and the grass is growing fast, 95 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.079 and for two weeks you can't get out there and mow, 96 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.040 you're gonna have a hayfield on your hands. So yeah, 97 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.879 go ahead and gather those clippings, but do something with 98 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.560 them in your landscape. The second time is like right now, 99 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.399 I'm driving past some lawns yesterday that I wouldn't even 100 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.800 sure there was grass there. It was just solid weeds, 101 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.920 solid weeds, and those weeds have gone to seed our 102 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.199 cool season weeds are blooming and setting seeds, And so 103 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.879 that first mowing would be a good one to capture 104 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.480 and at least get some of those seeds from the 105 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.920 weeds out of your lawn. That would make a lot 106 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.879 of sense. So that's a time when I would do 107 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.680 that kind of a capturing of the clippings, if you will. 108 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.240 Other than that, just more regularly with a good sharp 109 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.600 more blade and recycle them back in. Now it's with 110 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.920 it warming up a little bit, we are looking at 111 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.920 starting our longer term of slow release fertilization schedule, and 112 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:03.920 you'll see that on my schedule. Starts in April. On 113 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.240 my schedule. You know, when I do the schedule, I 114 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.519 kind of have to create one calendar, and I got 115 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.399 people in Galveston reading it, and I have people in 116 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.199 Huntspill reading it. So do you see the problem there? 117 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.120 There's a variation, So if you want to, if you're 118 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.639 down further south, you can begin to do the slow 119 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.879 releases anytime you want. Now, I'm still my first fertilization 120 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.879 is still going to be a faster release, just to 121 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.600 give a quick boost and get it going. But nine 122 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.079 to five Superturf is their silver bag that is a 123 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.759 slow release, and I've got some on hand that will 124 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.800 be used this year as we warm up and the 125 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.800 grass begins to grow, because you're going to get four 126 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.879 months out of it, four months of feeding. That's good 127 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.439 for two reasons. Number One, you fertilize once and you've 128 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.920 done it, you don't worry about it keeps speeding it up. 129 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.279 And then when you return the clippings, you're just recycling 130 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.199 those materials and it's even better. But the other thing 131 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.519 about it is when you put a dump of high 132 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.800 nitrate all at once on your lawn, you get a 133 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.519 growth response of fast top growth, which means you got 134 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.120 to mow more. And then you also get the effect 135 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:17.399 of shorter root growth. Excessive nitrogen applications cause top growth 136 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:22.079 to be greater than the development of the root growth. 137 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.199 And when we go into summer and droughts and grubs 138 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.160 two and on roots and all the other issues grass 139 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.759 deals with, we don't want that. We would like a 140 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.160 nice balanced grass plant and nitrobus superturf can provide you 141 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.839 that by giving that gradual feed. Again, it's a silver bag. 142 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.079 You're going to find nitavass products and plants and things, 143 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.920 and Branham m D Clear Lake in a Onmbay, a 144 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.279 Bay Area boulevard, and then in Sagemont MD Beamer will 145 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.800 also carry those products. We're hitting up against a quick 146 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.839 break here. I'll be right back and if you'd like 147 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.560 to give me a call. Seven one three two one 148 00:07:53.639 --> 00:08:05.199 two Ktrh. Alrighty Maria, who remembers the Wonders, or, as 149 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.800 one of the band members called them, the o Neiders. 150 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.399 It's a good movie. Tom Hanks wrote the music for 151 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.959 it too. That is amazing to me. I mean, you 152 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.680 think you've gone back to nineteen fifty listening to the soundtrack. 153 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.079 It was really, really, really creative on his part. Hey, 154 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.800 you're listening to garden Line, not a music show. Although 155 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.040 we do throw some music in here and there, we'll 156 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.800 get weird today a couple of times, so hang on, 157 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:33.200 don't go far. We'll throw We'll expand your musical palette, 158 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.240 or at least make an attempt to. Now you made 159 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:40.000 debate whether it's expanded in ways that you care to 160 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.240 be expanded, But I don't know. We'll work that out. Hey, 161 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.159 you're listening to garden Line. I'm your host, Skip Richter, 162 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.399 and we're here to help you have success in what 163 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.519 you're doing in your garden. Feel free to give me 164 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.919 a call. Seven one three two one two. Katie r. H. 165 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.000 And Cheney Forest is one of those garden centers that 166 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.200 is a destination. And you know, and I don't use 167 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.320 that term lightly. I mean if I would see a 168 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.159 day going out and visiting antenna for ust, walking through, 169 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.879 seeing the plants, seeing just all the displays and things 170 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.519 that they have to me, that is just like going 171 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.360 to the park. And actually it's better than going to 172 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.000 the park because I get to bring stuff home. They 173 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.679 have an outstanding selection right now of vegetables and herbs 174 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.639 and annual flowers and perennial flowers and ornamental grasses and 175 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.639 shrubs and trees and roses and you name it. By 176 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.559 the way, now would be a good time to grab 177 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.000 a blooming tree to add to the landscape, maybe something 178 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.360 like a Chinese fringe tree. They carry those out there. 179 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.879 Chinese French my favorite spring blooming tree, and it just 180 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.639 is it's beautiful. It doesn't grow too big. So our 181 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.159 modern city lots, you know, you can't.

It makes it nice. I am 210 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.000 a garden tourist, by the way, I am. I'm a 211 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:21.120 horticultural tourist. Maybe we need to open up a horticulture 212 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:26.039 tourism bureau here in Houston. That'd be a good thing 213 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:32.039 for the council to do. Horticulture tourism bureau. People come 214 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.679 to Houston and they can go to the arboretum, you know, 215 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:40.440 bodanical gardens, and go to different awesome garden centers that 216 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.519 we have here and other things like that. Speaking of 217 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.559 a good stop on the trip would be Southwest Fertilizer. 218 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.960 Southwest Fertilizer is the place you go to get everything 219 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:55.000 you need to have success with your garden with vegetables, herbs, 220 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.960 fruit flowers, fruit trees, vines, fruit bushes, lawns. Of course 221 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.080 it's lawn season, so if you're looking for fertilizers. They 222 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.320 have every type, every type in the world, Nitrophoss and 223 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.320 turf Star from Nelson and Microlife and Southwest own Premium 224 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.519 Gold that's our own fifteen five times slow release. They 225 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.919 carry it all right there and they also have a 226 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.039 use It's usually available on hand a soil probe and 227 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.360 you can check that out and go home and take 228 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.600 a soil sample and send it in. So it's real 229 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.799 nice and handy to be able to take the probe home, 230 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.679 do the sample, and bring it back to them, and 231 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.960 then you send it in and then you know exactly 232 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.840 what your sol situation is and what you need to 233 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.639 do about it. They're entering their seventieth year and they've 234 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.279 been around since nineteen fifty five. That is amazing. But 235 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.919 the reason they've been around is because when you walk 236 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.000 in there, you walk out with whatever you need. If 237 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.480 they don't have it, you don't need it. I've never 238 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.559 been in there that I was looking for something that 239 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.480 is important to have in the gardening world that wasn't 240 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.840 At Southwest Fertilizer corner of Bissonett and Renwick. You walk in, 241 00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.840 you're going to get friendly service. You know you're going 242 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:04.159 to get quality products and an awesome selection. And they 243 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.080 can help you too with that old fashioned service of 244 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.480 helping you diagnose something. Bring them a weed, bring them 245 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.559 a picture, bring them whatever of a sick plant, and 246 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.519 they will point you at the product that will solve 247 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.720 that problem. I love going in there in fact, I'm 248 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.919 gonna be there later this year, me next month, the 249 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.840 next month, I'm gonna make an appearance out there at 250 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.360 Southwest Fertilizer. Let's see where are we here? I get 251 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.639 to talking, I lose complete track of time. Now we've 252 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.080 got some time left. I'll just give you the number 253 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.960 again if you'd like to call seven one three two 254 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:41.200 one two k t r H seven one three two 255 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.480 one two k t r H. The folks at Nelson 256 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.879 produce quality fertilizers. It's as simple as that, you know. 257 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:51.879 They have different lines of fertilizer. They have Nutristar, Nature Star, 258 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.200 They've got the turf Star, turf Stars, the one for 259 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:59.480 weeds and for lawns. For example, there's Bruce's Brew, which 260 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.919 is a quick green up for your lawn, but it 261 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.519 also some forms of nitrogen in it release more gradually also, 262 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.759 so you end up with getting a more spread out, 263 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.840 more even feed as a result. It's an excellent product, 264 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.840 very good. The ratio is perfect for our area lawns now. 265 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.600 They have the Weedinator, which has a broadly weed control 266 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.639 in it, but you got to wet the grass and 267 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.519 put it down on wet weeds. Not an inch of 268 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.399 water on them. I'm talking about just enough to wet 269 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.799 the surface. So if we got a rain coming, you know, 270 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.360 don't put it out for a range. It's going to 271 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.480 wash it right off. When you wet the weeds, put 272 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.159 it down. It sticks to the weeds, and give it 273 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.360 a day or two and some of that material is 274 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.080 going to go in and kill the weed. And then 275 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.519 the watering or irrigation then washes the fertilizer down in 276 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.440 the soil. So it's just another one to do. But 277 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.399 I'm telling you you need an hot delay. If you're 278 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.159 doing that, a lot of the weeds you're going to seed, 279 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.879 and as that happens, even if you kill a weed, 280 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.759 the seed's still there, and so you kind of missed 281 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.919 a window to avoid being sentenced to another spring of 282 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.480 weeds next year from all the seed that this year's 283 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.200 weeds produced. So get out there and get that done. 284 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.200 Nelson Plant Food products or quality they work. I use 285 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.120 them myself just the other day using some of the 286 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:20.440 Rose Rose blend that's part of the nutri Star line. 287 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.159 You know, the nutri Stars all the specific vegetable or 288 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.919 some fruit and flowers. You know, there's a plumeria from 289 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.159 Nutristar there's a rose from mutra Star, there's a vegetable 290 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.320 from fruit and from nutri Star. So those are all 291 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.720 canisters that are available at garden centers near you. The 292 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.399 forks don't forget when when we provide our plants with 293 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.519 boosts of nutrients, they have the energy to take off 294 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:49.000 and grow well. They have they have the the things 295 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:52.960 that are needed to create new plant parts. It's it's 296 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.879 like you're giving them all the pieces and parts and 297 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.919 then the sunshines on the leaves and it puts it 298 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.000 all together and the plant grows like crazy happy. But 299 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.320 a lot of times we kind of starve our plants 300 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.120 by not providing them the nutrients that they need. So 301 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:09.600 just something to think about a lot of ways we 302 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.440 can provide that good material for the plants to thrive. 303 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.639 Plants for all seasons is the garden center that's up 304 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:20.679 there on Tumball Parkway. That's Highway two forty nine goes 305 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.399 to Tumball. If you're going north, you just exit Luetta 306 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.480 and it's right there on to forty nine.

I guess the way I put 309 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.799 it yesterday was since FM two forty nine was a 310 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.840 goat trail. Basically, some of you remember the days as 311 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.919 Houston has grown outward and outward and outward over the years. 312 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.240 So they know what they're doing.

And do I cut off the 336 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:46.440 stock with the schedules? 337 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.400 Did you say hyacinth? 338 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:51.599 I did? 339 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.039 Okay, Hyacinths here are kind of what we call a 340 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.319 one shot wonder. They're like tulips. You can get a bulb, 341 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.079 it'll bloom, but just due to our climate and things, 342 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.240 they don't tend to repeat and come back year after year. 343 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.599 Now you may get lucky. You could put the thing 344 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.160 out in the ground. After the blooms, it's going to 345 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.920 have its foliage and it needs that to replenish its 346 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.160 stored reserves to have a shot at reblooming next year. 347 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.160 But in general they're not one of the dependable bulbs 348 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.359 that we can just go year after year with in 349 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.480 the landscape. So main thing is, if you're going to try, 350 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.319 get it in the ground, give it every chance it 351 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.759 can to get good sunlight on the leaves and replenish 352 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.279 its reserves so that it can bloom again. 353 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:45.519 Okay, all right, blue, there you go. 354 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:47.759 There you go.

There's not a need to 363 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.400 get rid of the old soil. What happens over time 364 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.960 is yeah, yeah, I mean, well, if a plant died 365 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.119 of a disease, then if it was a soil borne disease, 366 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:32.359 I would Yeah, that's different. But in general, the potting 367 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:37.519 soil over time decomposes away and it gets it gets smaller, 368 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:39.680 it shrinks. That's why you know a pot that was 369 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.599 full last year maybe half full by the end of 370 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.200 this year. Uh. And so what we do is we 371 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.759 add new potting soil to it, freshen it up, to 372 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.000 bring up the levels and everything. You can do that, 373 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.720 but you don't have to get rid of the old soil. 374 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.599 It doesn't go bad. It just does what nature does, 375 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.440 and that's decompose and continue that so good for soil 376 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.319 that drains well is important. Sometimes potting soil over two 377 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.480 or three or four years decomposes to the point of 378 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.359 being very kind of fine textured and mucky. It stays 379 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.839 too wet, it doesn't have the airspace in it that 380 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.720 we would like to do. So that's why bringing in 381 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.880 some fresh soil to repot it and bring it back 382 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.920 up to the level you want. 383 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.480 Good, great, thank you, all. 384 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.720 Right, thank you, appreciate your car. 385 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:25.160 Bye bye. 386 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.839 We you know, we there's a lot of myths out 387 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.400 there in gardening, a lot where people are you know, 388 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.960 they say something and usually it's half true or based 389 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:40.480 on truth, but then it crosses a line where it 390 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.440 just becomes untrue. And the idea of having to you 391 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:45.680 got to replace your putting soil all the time, No, 392 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.799 you don't. You don't have to do that. You know, 393 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.880 there's reasons when you would, and I mentioned diseases of 394 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.640 the roots and things that would be a good reason 395 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:56.920 to do that. But you don't have to have to 396 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.119 do that. But we always need fresh because Roy for 397 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.680 replenishing it, making it better. I'm gonna take a little 398 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.480 break here if you'd like to call and get on 399 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.279 the board to be ready to go first when we 400 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.680 come back. Seven one, three, two, one two ktr h. Oh, Yeah, 401 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.160 happy music for Sunday morning. Hey, welcome back to the 402 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:17.680 guard Line. Good to have you with us. If you 403 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.839 would like to give me a call and talk gardening. 404 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:24.559 Seven one three two one two ktr H seven one 405 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:28.519 three two and two ktr h. Boy, the the garden 406 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:32.400 centers are just bursting with color right now. I've been 407 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.000 getting around visiting as many as I can, and I'm 408 00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:38.359 telling you they it is beautiful out there. Like I 409 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.279 said yesterday morning, grab take take two fingers from your 410 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.039 right hand, put them against the wrist of your left hand. 411 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.079 And if you don't, if you don't, if you're not 412 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:49.880 excited about gardening right now, you probably can't even feel 413 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:52.640 a pulse. That means you you can't. I want to 414 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.359 have that checked because it is the time to be 415 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:58.680 excited about gardening. So many good things to do. 416 00:21:59.160 --> 00:21:59.240 Uh. 417 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.920 I'm gonna be guess where I'm going to be next 418 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.440 next year. Next weekend on the twenty ninth, Saturday, the 419 00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.240 twenty ninth, I'll be at Siena Maltz. They are having 420 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.599 a shindig, an official shindig out there at Siena Maltz, 421 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:13.880 and I'll be out there be a bunch of different 422 00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:17.359 reps from different companies out there as well. But Sienna 423 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.359 is the place you go for everything you need to 424 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.400 create a foundation for success. It's south of Houston. It's 425 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.039 down well. It's on FM five twenty one, but you 426 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.759 can go to the website Sienna Maltz dot com. It's 427 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:31.920 kind of near Highway six and two eighty eight that region, 428 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.200 Ciana Maltz dot com. They're open Monday through Saturday, seven 429 00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.559 thirty to five. Excuse me, Monday through Friday seven thirty 430 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.240 to five, Saturday seven thirty to two and closed today. 431 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.079 Closed on Sundays. I'll be back open in the morning again. 432 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.920 You can get the compost, the bed mixes, the mulches 433 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.880 that go on top of the ground. Everything you need 434 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.480 is there. You can get the nutrients that you need 435 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.720 for microlife from Nelson's, from Medina, from nitrofoss from azamite, 436 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:01.400 and soils from airloom soil. Also, by the way, it 437 00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:04.359 is a one stop shop for success. And next Saturday, 438 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.640 I'll be there again from one to three pm. From 439 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.200 one to three pm for their big Shindig event in 440 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.519 the spring. So you need to come out and see us. 441 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.720 Come out with an empty pickup or a trailer if 442 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.799 you got one, so you can pick up some stuff 443 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:21.920 and go home with it. They've got things by the bag, 444 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.039 they have things by the book. They deliver within about 445 00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:27.119 twenty miles of their location for a delivery fee, of course, 446 00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:30.720 and I would recommend that you go check them out 447 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.079 because the most important thing you can do to have 448 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.920 success is to prepare the soul before you plan. That 449 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.920 is the single most important thing that you can do 450 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.039 before you plan. So see Namolt that's the place you 451 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:44.880 need to go. And next Saturday would be a good 452 00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.759 time one to three. I'll be out there. Of course 453 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:48.680 the event will be going on. I believe longer than that. 454 00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:51.359 I need to pull that up that they're going to 455 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.519 have other things going on around there. They always have 456 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:55.440 a good time. I always have a good time when 457 00:23:55.480 --> 00:24:01.359 I go there to see Nmos in the yard. If 458 00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.319 you have not put in a pre emergent and you're 459 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.559 wanting to, now's the time to get it done. You know, 460 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.799 in on my schedule online at gardening with Skip dot com. 461 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.519 My schedules that are up there. There's each month, you know, 462 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.759 January February March Aple mailed way to December, and there's 463 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.240 bars that say we'll do this now, and do this now, 464 00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.759 and I will sometimes get a question that says, well, 465 00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:27.000 I missed it, then can I do it now? Yes, 466 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:29.720 just go ahead and get it done. But when we 467 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:34.440 miss the timing, we lose the full effect. So barricade 468 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:37.519 from nitroposs. It prevents weed seeds from coming up, both 469 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.359 grassyweeds and broadleaf weeds. Someone asked me yesterday at the 470 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.480 Cipher Home Show, you know what about crabgrass. How do 471 00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:46.279 you get rid of crabgrass? Well, barricade. You put barricade 472 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:50.079 down and you prevent crabgrass from ever getting started. So 473 00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:53.559 the longer you wait, the more weeds have already germinated. 474 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:55.640 And you kind of missed the boat on those. But 475 00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:58.319 there's still weeds that will germinate that you can prevent. 476 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.119 But timing is a important That's why we have the 477 00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:05.160 schedules out there. Barricade comes in a ten pound bag 478 00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.839 that'll cover five thousand square feet because you're not using 479 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.200 very much of it. And what you do is you 480 00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:12.240 put it out, you watered in, it goes into the 481 00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:15.440 soil surface. It forms a barricade, and when a weed 482 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:17.519 seed tries to send a root down and get going. 483 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.400 It says no, you're not, and it stops it right there, 484 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:23.519 and you're going to find barricade. Like other Nitrofos products 485 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.640 in many places, Fisher's Hardware and Baytown Lake Hardware done 486 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.640 include and Lake Hardware and Angleton as well. If you 487 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.160 are in the Tomball area, D and D Feed we'll 488 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.400 carry the barricade as well, and as does plants for 489 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.079 all seasons as you head up north on two forty nine. 490 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:48.119 Another good product from Nitrofoss Timing Timing Timing. I've been 491 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:53.599 contemplating putting something together just to talk about weed control, 492 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.759 and the more I talk to people at these appearances 493 00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.160 and just calls on guardline and emails and things, and 494 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.240 having been a County Extension Horticultures for thirty five years, 495 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.680 I kind of heard a lot of questions on weeds 496 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:07.960 over the years, and I just realized there's a lot 497 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:12.880 of confusion out there. People maybe they half hear something, 498 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:16.599 or they take what they hear about one situation and 499 00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.920 apply it to another, which doesn't always work that way. 500 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.039 I know that's being kind of cryptic to put it 501 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.079 that way, but my point is that a lot of 502 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.000 people don't understand weeds. I put a post on to 503 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.119 Instagram and Facebook a couple of weeks ago, and it 504 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:32.440 was about the difference between pre emergent and post emergent, 505 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.759 just the simple difference between those two. But there's other 506 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.720 things that are helpful to know, Like there's cool season 507 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.400 weeds and warm season weeds, and so then there's the 508 00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.960 products that are just the weed control and the products 509 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.519 that have weed control with fertilizer in them, and each 510 00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:51.720 one of those deserves its own little spot to explain it. 511 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:55.000 How does it work, when do you have to do it? 512 00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:58.440 Does it work? You know, that'd be another question to add, 513 00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.680 does it work even at all? And how to have 514 00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:04.079 success with them? And so we just need to kind 515 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:06.759 of take all those things apart to understand. I go 516 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.160 over it here on the air, But when it comes 517 00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.640 to the bottom line, if I were to take it 518 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:17.240 down to the ABC on weeds, it's that in the spring, 519 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.839 starting in early spring, the warm season weeds begin to 520 00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:25.720 germinate from seed, and the perennial weeds come to begin 521 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:30.839 to emerge from the soil from the plant themselves. They're perennials. 522 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.759 The plant lives here after year and so a perennial 523 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.279 weed would be something like dichondra for example, or a 524 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.720 dollar weed would be another example of a perennial weed. 525 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.799 So while they can come from seed, you've if you've 526 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:46.440 got if you had the weed last year, you're gonna 527 00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:48.680 have a weed this year because it's a perennial. But 528 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:50.119 then the others germinate from seed. 529 00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:50.759 So what do you do. 530 00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:53.480 Well, on a weed that's coming from seed, you can 531 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:55.720 prevent it with a pre emergent. That's one thing you 532 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.880 can do. If you get the pre emergent down in time. 533 00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:01.000 On a weed that's already existing, you would then need 534 00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:03.440 to use a post emergent. When it shows its face, 535 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:06.680 you spray something on it that would kill it. But 536 00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:11.079 the bottom line on all weed control is good lawn care. 537 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.039 If you don't take care of your lawn, and if 538 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:18.599 nature has its way ravaging your lawn, then you're going 539 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.359 to have weed problems. You will open up spaces in 540 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.960 the thinning lawn for sunlight to hit the soil and 541 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.039 weeds will proliferate. And I don't think the way to 542 00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.319 have a lawn is to spend your January to February 543 00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:34.400 just constantly killing weeds with pre emergents and post emergents 544 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:36.240 and pre emergents and post ama where you're just doing 545 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.039 that's your weed control. That is what we do when 546 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:43.079 we've done all we can, but we also know that 547 00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:45.319 weeds are still going to be there to some degree. 548 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:47.759 But the first goal you should have, and I know 549 00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.039 I'm drowning on here, first goal you should have is 550 00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:52.799 how do I get how do I get that lawn 551 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:57.160 so thick that most weeds can't get enough sunlight to 552 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.720 sprout or they get choked out by my lawn. That's 553 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.440 why I have the lawn care schedule. And if you 554 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:07.039 do that, then you go to the schedule on how 555 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.599 do I kill a weed? Okay, and you can use that, 556 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.960 but if you only use how can I kill a weed, 557 00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:16.599 you're just on a treadmill and it's constantly going to 558 00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:18.359 be one thing and another and you're not going to 559 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.720 ever be really happy with the lawn. So those products 560 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.480 have a place and they can work, but it got 561 00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.440 to begin with good, healthy, dense lawn that takes the 562 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.319 majority of your issues out of the picture and you 563 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.640 deal with the exceptions. And that's kind of what we 564 00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:39.319 want to go after. I hope that makes sense, at 565 00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:44.279 least it does for me. Buchanan's Garden Center it actually 566 00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.319 Buchanan's Native Plants is on Eleventh Street in the Heights, 567 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.079 and at Buchanans there's always something exciting going on. 568 00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:50.319 You know. 569 00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:53.319 They specialize in natives, and some awesome natives are out there. 570 00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.680 They've got the tangerine beauty variety of crossbine right now.

Alrighty, welcome 584 00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:44.960 back to Garden Line. That's that's kind of strange, Like 585 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.119 we got a stereo with one side plan. That's the Beatles, 586 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:54.680 by the way, you remember the Beatles. All right, Well, 587 00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:56.119 you're listening to the Garden Line and we're here to 588 00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.400 help you have a gardening success story to tell this spring. 589 00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:01.400 That that's kind of how I'd like to look at it, 590 00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:03.559 you know, I'd like to hear a story that goes 591 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:05.559 like this, I went and got some great plants. I 592 00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:07.720 put them in the ground. Oh my places never looked 593 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.720 better and it was fun. I enjoyed it in the process. 594 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:14.799 That's what we'd like to see happen. You know, Nature's 595 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.480 way resources is set up for that exact same result, 596 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.440 because the way nature handles things is nature puts organic 597 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.240 matter in the soil, decomposes it, and creates the best 598 00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.559 stuff in the world for plants to thrive. And that's 599 00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.799 what happens at Nature's Way. They take materials and they 600 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.400 turn them into the perfect soils. I don't care what 601 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:36.200 you're going to grow, whether it's fruit, trees, or vegetables 602 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:38.920 or flowers or whatever. You're trying to do. Maybe it's 603 00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.039 a mulch on top of the ground, a double shredded mulch, 604 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:45.279 or some other particular type of mulch that you want 605 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:47.240 to use. You're going to find it at Nature's Way 606 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:51.960 and they make quality mixes like the rose soil and 607 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.160 the vegetable growing soils and the fruit tree growing soils. 608 00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.720 They also have that super high quality leaf mold compost 609 00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.000 that you can use for compost top dressing. By the way, 610 00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.839 the fungal based compost is also good for that, and 611 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.799 they have a Fungal Friday every Friday. The fungal based 612 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:11.160 composts are on sale.

The fruit 618 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.160 trees and native plants and houseplints and vegetables, and really 619 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:32.440 excellent selection of natives for this area too.

Frost my sister gifted me with one. 669 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.280 YESTERDAY i want to say it's probably in a ten gallon, 670 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:10.639 pot maybe. Bigger when we plant, THAT i ASSUME i 671 00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:13.840 was going to use the nitro. Falls we have the 672 00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:18.639 jungle land that we use on all of our. PLANTS 673 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.039 i was going to use the nitro. Falls is there 674 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:26.079 a what is the number of, uh you, know the 675 00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:29.400 numbers in the niper falls that would be safe to 676 00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:30.039 plant that? 677 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:35.000 With, well first of, all, well first of, ALL i 678 00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:38.159 wouldn't use the jungle land for the. Magnolia that's good 679 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:41.400 for containers and. Things. UH i would just dig the 680 00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:43.239 dig the it's going to have to live in the 681 00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.199 soil that you, have and SO i wouldn't amend the 682 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:48.960 soil in the hole for the. MAGNOIA i would dig 683 00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.840 the hole only as deep as that root cylinder that's 684 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:53.920 in the. Pot so don't if you dig it deeper 685 00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:55.599 and put soil back in the bottom of the, hole 686 00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:58.480 it'll settle and it'll end up being too too. Shallow 687 00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:01.320 and you want the topmost root to be very close 688 00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:04.320 to the soil, line the topmost root on that plant 689 00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.719 in the, pot and then bring the soil back in around. 690 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:11.719 It if when you take it out of the, container 691 00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.400 lay it over and slide it out and look for 692 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.760 a circling root going. Around and if you see, that 693 00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:20.599 you need to just take your snippers and cut those, 694 00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:24.599 roots because circling roots get bigger and the trunk gets, 695 00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:27.440 bigger and eight ten years down the, line you have 696 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.960 problems if you don't cut those circling. Roots so go 697 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:32.840 ahead and cut those and then put it in the 698 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:35.559 ground and watered in really. GOOD i would get some 699 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:41.280 medina has to grow plant food and it is a 700 00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:44.079 six twelve six is the numbers on.

Well 703 00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:52.599 then do it again a week, later and a third 704 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.360 time a week after, that and that will give that 705 00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:59.239 root system the best chance of getting well established. Quickly 706 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:02.519 diena hash to grow six twelve. Six go ahead and 707 00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:06.320 do that. One and water is really. Good, okay now 708 00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:09.400 as it begins to. Grow once we get into the, 709 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.519 season and you know we're six eight weeks or so 710 00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:17.800 in after, planting then you can begin to use a 711 00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:21.599 fertilizer like you could use a nitrofass turf type fertilizer 712 00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:25.039 if you want. To if you mentioned, nitrophiles a turf 713 00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.679 type fertilizer would be just fine and moderate.

YOU i want to encourage you 820 00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:27.079 that if there's any pruning that needs to get, done 821 00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:29.280 go ahead and get it done. ASAP a lot of 822 00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:31.400 our trees are starting to push bud now and move. 823 00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:34.559 Out here's the issue that happens when the trees begin 824 00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:37.559 to grow and we, print the bark begins to. Slip 825 00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:41.639 we say, slip meaning if you were to grab cut 826 00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:43.800 a branch off like three fourths of the way and 827 00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:45.719 then it falls down and you pulled on, it it'd 828 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:47.960 be like peeling a. Banana the bark just peels right 829 00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:51.440 off the. Wood that's a big wound and not a good, 830 00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:53.519 thing so be extra careful with. THAT i did a 831 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.400 video on how to make a three point cut On 832 00:43:56.719 --> 00:43:59.360 it's On facebook and it's On instagram and you can. 833 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:04.320 Look i'm talking about there very, important especially now to 834 00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:06.880 do a three point cut and avoid stripping that bark. 835 00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.719 Off so get your pruning. Done it's still located to. 836 00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:11.599 It we can prune twelve months out of the year. Here, 837 00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:15.440 okay there's times that are better than, others but you 838 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.559 know it's better to go ahead and get it. Done 839 00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:21.639 the fastest time of healing is in the. Spring so 840 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:24.000 if you were looking at one of those time laps, 841 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:27.800 videos you know how you watch a cactus blossom opening 842 00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.559 close in like five seconds and it took hours to do. That, 843 00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:33.840 well if you saw that on a pruning, wound what 844 00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:36.280 you would see is the pruning cut is, made and 845 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.599 then as we get into, spring it starts to close 846 00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:41.320 over pretty, fast and then as we get into summer 847 00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:44.119 it slows a whole lot, down and then as we 848 00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.079 get into fall it speeds up a little, bit not 849 00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:49.400 as fast as, spring and then in winter it stops, 850 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:52.000 again and that's kind of the cycle of the year 851 00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:56.480 of pruning cut. Closure sometime we use the term, healing 852 00:44:56.559 --> 00:45:00.199 it's really not. Healing it's callousing and closing over what 853 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:03.400 it amounts. To so the sooner you get that printing, 854 00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:05.840 done the more you can take advantage of this early 855 00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:09.000 callous formation that happens at the fastest time of the 856 00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:11.840 year here in the, spring and SO i would recommend 857 00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.519 you to do that if you're looking for any kind 858 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:18.639 of product for making your outdoor space.

WORRY i worry about 970 00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:15.079 putting tons of mulch or you, know mulch down makes 971 00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:16.840 it harder for the plants to get the. 972 00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:17.239 Water. 973 00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:24.480 Okay Uh So i'm THINKING i have got the when 974 00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:26.639 cast iron plant across the whole. 975 00:51:26.440 --> 00:51:27.559 Backyard. 976 00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:32.199 And THEN i have the azaleas that some of them 977 00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:36.039 lost their shade because Of burrel and the tree coming. 978 00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:40.519 Down CAN i do AND i do the bit about your. 979 00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:44.519 Thing about the leaves leaves go in the flower. 980 00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:47.519 Beds, Okay so then CAN i. 981 00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:49.320 Put some water crystals in? 982 00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:54.840 There and then a soaker hose and then the, mulch 983 00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:58.320 SO i don't need the water very. 984 00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:03.679 Much, YEAH i would, Say, pamela save the water crystals 985 00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.679 for potting soils and. Containers that is where it's going 986 00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:11.079 to be most effective for. You when you put organic 987 00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:13.719 matter and, compost and when you molt and let it 988 00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:16.840 decompose and the soil just gets more and more. Compost 989 00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:20.079 that in and of itself does a great job of holding. 990 00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:22.679 Moisture and when you've got that drip hose out, there 991 00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:26.119 the soaker and you're able to water as, needed you're 992 00:52:26.159 --> 00:52:27.880 going to take care of things like. That but those 993 00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:31.559 crystals are primarily used in our potting mixes. Indoor you 994 00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:34.239 can put them outdoors, too but you just mix them 995 00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:36.880 in at whatever rate it says on the in the 996 00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:39.840 instructions as you get. Them so you can buy crystal, 997 00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:41.920 separate or you can buy them like in the jungle 998 00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:44.760 and already has the crystals in. It the indoor jungle 999 00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:46.039 already has the crystals in. 1000 00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:49.480 It, well, YEAH i don't have any indoor. Plants it's 1001 00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:53.559 all outdoor AND i only garden buy. Pots nothing goes 1002 00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:56.079 in the. Cot there's too many three roots out. 1003 00:52:56.119 --> 00:53:00.119 There, well then put the. Crystals, yeah put it in 1004 00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:02.599 those pots in the pot soil that's. Outdoors that's. 1005 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:07.239 Fine, yeah and what it should reduce it by about fifty. 1006 00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.119 Percent from What i'm, Understanding. 1007 00:53:11.079 --> 00:53:11.119 It. 1008 00:53:11.239 --> 00:53:15.719 Depends it depends on a lot of. Things the size 1009 00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:18.239 of the particles of the potting. Soil it tells how 1010 00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:22.159 much water the potting soil can. Hold and some potting 1011 00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:24.599 soils hold a, lot and some it just drains right 1012 00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:27.920 through and it doesn't hold as. Much but you, KNOW 1013 00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:31.679 i wouldn't estimate what, percent BUT i can tell you 1014 00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:33.679 that it'll hold on that water a little, longer and 1015 00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:36.239 it'll make it like if we forget or it gets 1016 00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:39.119 too hot and it dries out, faster it helps. 1017 00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:44.239 A little, bit, okay and then the medina has to. 1018 00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:47.280 Grow somebody a couple of weeks ago said something about 1019 00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:53.039 found to a five gallon purchased a five gallon bottle of. 1020 00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:57.159 It you wouldn't have to know where they got the 1021 00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:00.840 five gallon, one because he said that it was like 1022 00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:04.039 paying for, four so you got one gallon.

Down one tree stabilizers generally all you. 1110 00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:31.480 Need with for some applications you can put a second 1111 00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:36.519 one on to provide even more multidirectional support as the wind. 1112 00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:40.360 Blows three Sixty tree stabilizer a good. Product it really does. 1113 00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:44.880 Work so we were talking about OUR i was talking 1114 00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:48.760 about things that we're doing right. Now the pruning of 1115 00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:51.199 trees is. Important to go ahead and get that. Done 1116 00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:53.840 any pruning you need to, do make sure you use sharp. 1117 00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:56.360 Punters when you finish with your, priunting you need to 1118 00:58:56.400 --> 00:58:59.000 clean your printers. Up you, know sap and moisture and 1119 00:58:59.079 --> 00:59:02.719 things cause causes them to, rust and so clean them 1120 00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:04.840 up a little. Bit get a wire brush and some 1121 00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:07.760 oil and just kind of scrape off any rust that 1122 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:10.800 might be. There clean them down real, good and leave 1123 00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:12.920 a good coating of oil on them when you put them, 1124 00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:15.440 away and that way next year they'll be ready to. Go, 1125 00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:18.679 now when you're, pruning here's a. Tip when you're. Pruning 1126 00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:22.440 if you're pruning a plant that is likely to be 1127 00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:26.920 a disease issue going, On, okay if you're pruning that 1128 00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:28.840 kind of, plant what you're going to want to do 1129 00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:32.360 is you're going to want to sterilize the pruners in between. 1130 00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:37.159 Cuts in between, Cuts so WHAT i will. Do sometimes 1131 00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:40.079 people say use ten percent bleach. Water, well you can do, 1132 00:59:40.199 --> 00:59:44.199 that but bleach water really pits metal and increases. Rusting 1133 00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:46.719 so if you use bleach, water you're going to need 1134 00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:49.480 to rent them off real good and then oil them 1135 00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:52.880 very well right away when you're done do. That some 1136 00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:55.679 people will use rubbing. Alcohol did a little pint bottle 1137 00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:58.039 of rubbing. Alcohol they'll cut the top off and just 1138 00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:00.119 dip the pruners in there as they go. AROUND i 1139 01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:01.639 think the easiest thing to do is to have a 1140 01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:04.119 low can of something Like life salt that kills, germs 1141 01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.159 and when you make a printing, cut just spray that 1142 01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:10.239 printer with life, start just real, quick one little pump 1143 01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:13.400 on both sides to coat. It and that, way if 1144 01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:16.000 it was bacteria like fireblight or, something you're not going 1145 01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:18.159 to carry it on the printers to make the next 1146 01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:21.599 wound where you introduce the disease over. There so that's 1147 01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:24.360 the way you can do. It, also when you have 1148 01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:29.800 a series of, plants always do the plant that is diseased. 1149 01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:33.119 Last and that's true in soil. Too someone was asking 1150 01:00:33.159 --> 01:00:35.159 me about nematodes the other. Day they had nematodes in 1151 01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:37.199 one of their garden, beds AND i, said we'll work 1152 01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:39.840 all the other garden beds with a rototailer or a 1153 01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:42.559 spading fork and do that bed last so you don't 1154 01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:45.480 spread the nematodes to the other. Beds and then get 1155 01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:48.119 your spading for, it get your, rototailer wash it off really, 1156 01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:50.679 good get all the soil clinging to it off so 1157 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:53.079 you don't spread the nematodes. Around, so whether it's a 1158 01:00:53.119 --> 01:00:56.760 printing cut or whether it's nematods in the, soil that sanitary, 1159 01:00:56.920 --> 01:01:01.199 procedure that process is very. Important, hopefully hopefully that that 1160 01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:06.800 makes sense and that helps out west Of, houston your garden, 1161 01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:10.800 center your go to garden center Is Nelson Water.

Landscape one way you do that is 1208 01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:43.239 by adding container. Color container color is underutilized in our. Landscapes, 1209 01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:45.920 NOW i know some people go container, crazy AND i 1210 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.000 mean in the Place jos looks like they're selling. CONTAINERS 1211 01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:51.159 i mean every square it's got a container on. It, 1212 01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:54.559 well that's. Fine if you had to water that very, 1213 01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:57.320 often you're kind of, going, yeah this wasn't such a good. 1214 01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:01.159 Idea but you can put drip irrigation into little spaghetti 1215 01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:03.400 tubes go up in the container from a tube on the, 1216 01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:07.199 ground and they water for. You it automatically does, it 1217 01:04:07.320 --> 01:04:10.360 and that is the way to. Go it's also important 1218 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.280 to have a soil in the, container a potting, soil 1219 01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:16.559 a potting media in the container that is going to 1220 01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:18.960 hold water so that it didn't dry out too fast 1221 01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:22.920 but drain excess. Away so a hole in the container 1222 01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:26.239 and good potting soil keeps you from getting water. Logged 1223 01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:29.360 but a good quality potting sal will hold that moisture for. 1224 01:04:29.440 --> 01:04:31.719 You and jungle land is a good quality potting. Sal 1225 01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.239 you can buy jungle land for, outdoors it's called flour 1226 01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:37.239 and vegetable planting. Soil you can buy jungle land for. 1227 01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:39.679 Indoors it's called the water saving potting. Soil we were 1228 01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:41.320 just talking about that with a color a little bit. 1229 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:45.039 Ago those water saving crystals soak up water and they 1230 01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:47.679 hold onto water better even than the soil itself, does 1231 01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:49.639 so when it gets a little on the dry, side 1232 01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:51.920 there at least is a little water left there to 1233 01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:54.519 keep that plant going until you water. AGAIN a nice 1234 01:04:54.719 --> 01:04:57.960 nice addition to.

Out my preferred 1290 01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:52.440 way to approach problems on lawns is to when you 1291 01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:55.639 need to, fertilize fertilize with a quality. Fertilizer when you 1292 01:07:55.760 --> 01:07:58.280 need to do weed, control figure out what the weeds, 1293 01:07:58.320 --> 01:08:01.159 are what you need to do to get what best 1294 01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:04.360 controls those, weeds and then make that. Application you can 1295 01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:06.360 put them. Together there's a couple of times a year 1296 01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:10.760 where those applications, overlap but in GENERAL i like to 1297 01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:14.119 keep them, separate but, again we're spring is the time 1298 01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:15.719 of the year where we get a little overlap in 1299 01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:19.039 the post. Emergent we'd control, killers but you got to 1300 01:08:19.039 --> 01:08:25.319 follow the label real carefully to have success with.

Area in, 1310 01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:54.960 fact they're they're really for all Of texas and.

Two that's the green, bag that's 1313 01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:03.880 the lawn fertilizer green. Bag and if you look at my, 1314 01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:06.920 schedule you will see on there that we talk about 1315 01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:12.720 applying That microlife first application at at the beginning Of. 1316 01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:15.119 April you can do it a little earlier than. That 1317 01:09:15.319 --> 01:09:17.920 there's nothing wrong with doing it a little bit earlier than, 1318 01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:21.359 that because being an, organic it's going to get on the. 1319 01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:23.000 Ground microbes are going to get a hold of. It 1320 01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:25.600 they're going to turn those nutrients loose and make them 1321 01:09:25.640 --> 01:09:28.199 available to your. Plants that's the green.

It but 1324 01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:36.239 that's not why we're putting it. Down we're putting it 1325 01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:40.840 down because it is the final decomposition product of. Composting 1326 01:09:40.960 --> 01:09:45.239 it's like concentrated compost and a. Bag you sprinkle those 1327 01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:47.840 granules on your lawn and you do that regularly for 1328 01:09:47.920 --> 01:09:52.640 a period of, time and you slowly build that quality of, 1329 01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:57.079 soil the structure of the, soil the benefits that soil 1330 01:09:57.239 --> 01:10:01.880 holds for the, plant, grass plant health over. Time and 1331 01:10:02.279 --> 01:10:04.680 so that's what the humants plus also.

One the advantage of putting 1615 01:25:07.079 --> 01:25:09.880 it in a container is that when we get that cold, 1616 01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:13.640 weather you can slide a little dolly or under, it 1617 01:25:14.079 --> 01:25:16.359 put a strap around, it and very easily move that 1618 01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:19.800 heavy container into the garage or some other protected spot 1619 01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:23.640 in the.

CALL i appreciate. 1664 01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:33.479 It. 1665 01:27:35.640 --> 01:27:39.640 IS i have a thornless lime tree in a, pot 1666 01:27:39.800 --> 01:27:43.560 a large. POT i put it in the garage under 1667 01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:46.760 a groad light in the you, know during the, winter 1668 01:27:47.439 --> 01:27:51.720 the cold, weather and then when it warms, UP i 1669 01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:57.920 bring it. Outside but now for two years, running WHEN 1670 01:27:57.960 --> 01:28:01.399 i put it outside in instead of the leaves being 1671 01:28:01.479 --> 01:28:06.720 really dark green and having the white flowers on, it 1672 01:28:07.319 --> 01:28:10.560 it starts to turn. Yellow the leaves start to turn. 1673 01:28:10.680 --> 01:28:13.359 Yellow AND i don't understand why that. 1674 01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:19.800 Happens is The is it the older leaves that are 1675 01:28:19.880 --> 01:28:22.039 turning yellow further down the, branch or is it the 1676 01:28:22.159 --> 01:28:23.800 new growth out toward the end that's turning. 1677 01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:28.199 Yellow, well it seems like it's a good. 1678 01:28:28.279 --> 01:28:33.399 Question. Huh, actually, Okay, well new growth tends to come 1679 01:28:33.479 --> 01:28:37.760 out less green more chartruse than deep almal. Green that's just, 1680 01:28:37.800 --> 01:28:41.960 typical et. Cetera when the older growth turns, yellow it 1681 01:28:42.039 --> 01:28:44.439 could be that the trees just putting on a lot 1682 01:28:44.479 --> 01:28:46.359 of new growth and some of the older leaves are going. 1683 01:28:46.399 --> 01:28:49.199 Away it could be due to a water, issue and 1684 01:28:49.319 --> 01:28:52.720 that's usually the cause of older leaves turning. Yellow it's too, 1685 01:28:52.840 --> 01:28:55.439 dry too. Wet you, know suddenly the plant is out 1686 01:28:55.479 --> 01:28:58.760 there trying to, grow it's, growing it's warming, up and 1687 01:28:59.760 --> 01:29:03.079 you know the soule moisture may not be. Enough some 1688 01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:07.000 some extreme of soul moisture is a. Possibility you ought 1689 01:29:07.039 --> 01:29:09.600 to be able to fertilize, it, though and everything gets 1690 01:29:09.680 --> 01:29:12.079 to look and good. Again and SO i would get 1691 01:29:12.119 --> 01:29:15.800 a good Quality centrius. Fertilizer the folks At nelson have 1692 01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:18.840 a very good fruit tree fertilizer and a little, jar 1693 01:29:19.640 --> 01:29:22.800 so it's real suitable for fertilizing a few. Trees AND 1694 01:29:23.239 --> 01:29:25.439 i would use that on them and see if we 1695 01:29:25.479 --> 01:29:28.439 can get that bouncing. Back if the only other THING 1696 01:29:28.479 --> 01:29:30.560 i can tell, You dale is maybe send me a 1697 01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:33.119 picture of it WHERE i can see exactly what yellow 1698 01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:35.960 looks like and where the yellow is and. Things there 1699 01:29:36.000 --> 01:29:38.079 may be a variation on the answer THAT i would 1700 01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:41.439 give you as after seeing. It but in, GENERAL i 1701 01:29:41.520 --> 01:29:43.560 THINK i think we're going to talk about just a. 1702 01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:48.359 Transition it's probably a sole moisture. Issue BUT i would fertilize, 1703 01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:50.720 it make sure the soil is adequately moist and it 1704 01:29:50.760 --> 01:29:52.560 should be good to. Go it should grow out of. 1705 01:29:52.600 --> 01:29:59.159 That, okay but you, know, okay my original original thought, 1706 01:29:59.319 --> 01:30:03.600 was when't it when it's in the, garage it's. BEAUTIFUL i, 1707 01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:07.319 mean the leaves are dark. Green i'm sure it's shooting the. 1708 01:30:07.520 --> 01:30:11.239 Leaves it's got those little white i'll call them flowers on, 1709 01:30:11.359 --> 01:30:16.840 it AND i mean it's just. Beautiful, yeah and there's this. 1710 01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:22.680 Change so, yeah well you're making a big. Picture, yeah 1711 01:30:22.720 --> 01:30:24.560 you're making a big change on it because you're moving 1712 01:30:24.600 --> 01:30:27.680 it from a very low light environment to a brighter light. 1713 01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:30.720 Environment and a lot of times plants in low light 1714 01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:35.439 will turn greener because they're making more chlorophyll molecules to 1715 01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:37.720 try to capture the low light that they. HAVE i, 1716 01:30:37.800 --> 01:30:40.439 know are those orchids you see in the grocery. Store 1717 01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:42.439 they will do. That you put them in a low 1718 01:30:42.520 --> 01:30:44.840 light and suddenly the plant's. Greener but it's because it's 1719 01:30:44.920 --> 01:30:47.640 trying to capture more of the little bit of limited 1720 01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:50.359 light that it, has so that that is a plant 1721 01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:53.239 function and that may be part of what you're. Seeing all, Right, Dale, 1722 01:30:53.880 --> 01:30:59.119 okay all, right all, right thank. YOU i appreciate, you 1723 01:30:59.199 --> 01:31:01.960 BUT i appreciate that. Call.

Us what 1918 01:41:08.359 --> 01:41:11.600 can how can we help? Today appreciate to? 1919 01:41:11.680 --> 01:41:17.279 Call uh got scale on sego palm fronds and can't. 1920 01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:21.279 Get rid of, okay all, Right uh that's a tough. 1921 01:41:21.319 --> 01:41:26.960 One you could try a really oil. Spruy, yeah try 1922 01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:30.079 an oil. Spray. Now the problem is sago palm fronds 1923 01:41:30.199 --> 01:41:32.800 are stiff as a board and it and and they 1924 01:41:32.920 --> 01:41:35.279 block the spray from getting to other parts of the, 1925 01:41:35.319 --> 01:41:36.680 plant so you're gonna have to kind of have to 1926 01:41:36.720 --> 01:41:39.520 hit it from other. Angles but the more you can 1927 01:41:39.600 --> 01:41:43.760 completely coat the undersides of the, leaves especially that's where 1928 01:41:43.840 --> 01:41:46.239 most of the scale, is the better off it'll. Be 1929 01:41:46.760 --> 01:41:49.039 if it's really bad and you got some fronds turning, 1930 01:41:49.119 --> 01:41:50.920 YELLOW i would just print them off and get that 1931 01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:53.479 scale out of. There Uh and because it'll always put 1932 01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:56.039 new fronds out high if you if you can get 1933 01:41:56.119 --> 01:41:58.199 rid of them some that way and then spray everything 1934 01:41:58.239 --> 01:42:02.399 you can with a horticultural. Oil, again coverage is, critical 1935 01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:04.439 getting it all in there that you. Can you can 1936 01:42:04.600 --> 01:42:08.279 use a systemic. Insecticide i'm not sure how the effective 1937 01:42:08.359 --> 01:42:10.840 they are on sego, scale but that would. Be another 1938 01:42:10.920 --> 01:42:14.359 option is to drench the soil with a product containing 1939 01:42:14.399 --> 01:42:20.439 a systemic insecticide like. Imidocloprid, okay but like name all 1940 01:42:22.079 --> 01:42:25.319 nime as an oil would be. Helpful, okay you, could 1941 01:42:25.439 --> 01:42:28.760 you could do, that but a horticultural oil is just 1942 01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:32.439 a you, know a summer based oil as. Well either, 1943 01:42:32.479 --> 01:42:34.680 way you just need a good thick oil to smother. 1944 01:42:34.800 --> 01:42:39.239 Them and they have that, waxy flaky white coating that 1945 01:42:39.399 --> 01:42:41.119 makes it hard to get an oil to. Them but 1946 01:42:41.239 --> 01:42:43.640 if you can coat them with, oil they can't. Breathe 1947 01:42:43.760 --> 01:42:46.680 they can't breathe and they. Die, YEAH i get it 1948 01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:53.000 real bad at the basis of the. Fronds, Yes, yeah 1949 01:42:53.119 --> 01:42:55.800 that's how it is because they're all in, there you, 1950 01:42:55.880 --> 01:42:57.800 know on the trunk of the. Plant there's a thousand 1951 01:42:57.920 --> 01:43:00.479 nooks and crannies to hide in in, there so it's 1952 01:43:00.520 --> 01:43:02.239 hard to get rid of.

Here 2020 01:46:26.199 --> 01:46:29.720 and there's a lot of turf seeds, sold especially by 2021 01:46:30.159 --> 01:46:33.399 not our good independent, nurseries but other places that sell. 2022 01:46:33.439 --> 01:46:35.920 Plans they'll sell you a seed that really belongs up 2023 01:46:36.000 --> 01:46:39.720 north instead of down, Here so that's a. Possibility the 2024 01:46:39.960 --> 01:46:42.520 critical thing on seed is getting it to sprout and 2025 01:46:42.640 --> 01:46:45.800 stay moist the whole time until it establishes a good root. 2026 01:46:45.880 --> 01:46:48.920 System because, ever if it starts to sprout and dries, 2027 01:46:48.960 --> 01:46:51.119 out then you got a real problem, There and so 2028 01:46:51.479 --> 01:46:54.520 that would be some possibilities as to what was going 2029 01:46:54.560 --> 01:46:57.680 on with the. Seed in, GENERAL i recommend sodding rather than. 2030 01:46:57.760 --> 01:46:59.399 Seeding or if you don't want to buy a whole, 2031 01:46:59.840 --> 01:47:07.600 side then at least get a. Plugs you can buy 2032 01:47:07.640 --> 01:47:09.960 a section of side and cut it and strips and 2033 01:47:10.039 --> 01:47:12.560 plant those strips to make it go, further but a 2034 01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:14.520 side is generally a better way to go about. It, 2035 01:47:14.600 --> 01:47:17.399 now as far as as far as, uh let's, see 2036 01:47:17.479 --> 01:47:19.640 you know plants and, things you are right next To 2037 01:47:19.880 --> 01:47:22.920 Tamas nursery and so there you're not gonna you're not 2038 01:47:23.000 --> 01:47:25.119 going to find a better a better place for a 2039 01:47:25.239 --> 01:47:28.039 wide variety of.

Both, avocados like a lot of, 2746 02:24:14.799 --> 02:24:17.760 plants they don't want to be, dry so if you 2747 02:24:17.840 --> 02:24:20.719 don't water, enough they're going to suffer that drought. Damage 2748 02:24:20.799 --> 02:24:24.280 and especially with a young plant getting, started that's significant 2749 02:24:24.280 --> 02:24:26.200 because you need to get a good root system down 2750 02:24:26.360 --> 02:24:29.559 so it can be a more, resilient drought tolerant, plant 2751 02:24:30.319 --> 02:24:32.760 so early, on don't let them dry. Out at the same, 2752 02:24:32.879 --> 02:24:36.639 time if you have so much water that the roots 2753 02:24:36.680 --> 02:24:40.639 can't get oxygen they're drowning in, water then that is 2754 02:24:40.840 --> 02:24:43.239 very deadly and you get root rots and other things that. 2755 02:24:43.319 --> 02:24:47.239 Happen so yours are? Yours did you tell me they're in? 2756 02:24:47.360 --> 02:24:48.600 Potstill or are you planted the? 2757 02:24:48.639 --> 02:24:52.600 Beds we went from the three we wt in three 2758 02:24:52.639 --> 02:24:54.719 gallum pots and now they're in five gallum. 2759 02:24:54.760 --> 02:24:58.399 Pots, okay as long as you have good drainage holes 2760 02:24:58.440 --> 02:25:00.879 and a decent soil in, there you're probably not going 2761 02:25:00.959 --> 02:25:03.440 to overwater them because the excess water runs out the. 2762 02:25:03.440 --> 02:25:06.760 Bottom SO i wouldn't worry as much about that as 2763 02:25:06.840 --> 02:25:09.280 letting them get. Dry and a confined system like a 2764 02:25:09.360 --> 02:25:12.799 container an avocado, tree as it starts heating, up they're 2765 02:25:12.840 --> 02:25:14.479 gonna pump the water.

Seabrook first thing here and we're 2880 02:30:53.639 --> 02:30:56.000 going to go talk To. John, Hey, john welcome to Garden. 2881 02:30:56.079 --> 02:30:58.000 Line thank. 2882 02:30:58.040 --> 02:30:59.639 YOU i had a question last. 2883 02:30:59.719 --> 02:31:05.760 Year my landscaper piled a mulch up against my palm, 2884 02:31:05.799 --> 02:31:07.879 tree And i've read since then that it's bad for 2885 02:31:08.000 --> 02:31:10.920 the palm, tree SO i pulled it. Back What i'm 2886 02:31:10.920 --> 02:31:13.000 finding is a bunch of little roots coming out of 2887 02:31:13.079 --> 02:31:16.040 the trunk of the palm. Tree and my question is 2888 02:31:17.319 --> 02:31:20.000 recover that or SHOULD i trim those little roots? Off 2889 02:31:20.520 --> 02:31:21.399 but how SHOULD i handle? 2890 02:31:21.479 --> 02:31:24.239 This, yeah you don't need to worry about. It get 2891 02:31:24.280 --> 02:31:26.000 the mulch away from. There it's not doing it any. 2892 02:31:26.040 --> 02:31:28.479 Good and palm trees do that at the. Base if 2893 02:31:28.520 --> 02:31:30.719 you keep them a little, wet they'll or pile up some. 2894 02:31:30.799 --> 02:31:33.479 Stuff they'll start sending roots out into them because basically 2895 02:31:33.600 --> 02:31:36.120 palm is a grass. Plant it really. Is even though 2896 02:31:36.159 --> 02:31:39.000 we say, tree it's just it's only a tree because 2897 02:31:39.000 --> 02:31:41.920 it gets big to, us, Right but it's a type 2898 02:31:41.920 --> 02:31:45.559 of grass, plant and so they will form those roots 2899 02:31:45.639 --> 02:31:48.000 at the, base just like corn stalks at the base 2900 02:31:48.040 --> 02:31:50.319 will send roots out like. That corn is of grass, 2901 02:31:50.399 --> 02:31:53.239 Too so you don't need to cut them. Off you 2902 02:31:53.280 --> 02:31:55.040 can just ignore. Them and now that you've seen, it 2903 02:31:55.200 --> 02:31:57.040 as you go around town and, stuff look at the 2904 02:31:57.079 --> 02:31:59.440 base of palms and you'll often see those little root 2905 02:31:59.520 --> 02:32:02.760 initial that's what they're, called little stubby roots coming out 2906 02:32:03.280 --> 02:32:06.200 near the, base down low on the. Trunk it's a natural, 2907 02:32:06.280 --> 02:32:07.120 thing nothing to worry. 2908 02:32:07.120 --> 02:32:09.840 About, okay thank you very, much. 2909 02:32:11.280 --> 02:32:13.840 You bet take. Care thanks for the. Call appreciate. That 2910 02:32:14.600 --> 02:32:17.920 good to visit with you all right. Here, yeah that 2911 02:32:18.280 --> 02:32:21.120 is interesting. Thing, yeah people don't think about that is 2912 02:32:21.319 --> 02:32:23.840 a palm tree is a grass. Plant that basically is 2913 02:32:23.879 --> 02:32:26.200 what it. Is it's not a broad leaf it's not 2914 02:32:26.239 --> 02:32:29.159 a broad leaf. Plant it's a grass type. Plant and 2915 02:32:30.360 --> 02:32:33.440 unusual things happened from time to. TIME i was talking 2916 02:32:33.479 --> 02:32:35.879 to the folks yesterday at The Cipher home And Garden, 2917 02:32:35.920 --> 02:32:37.879 show which was, wonderful by the. Way they did a 2918 02:32:37.920 --> 02:32:41.639 great job up, there and we were talking about the 2919 02:32:41.719 --> 02:32:45.719 fact that you, know you, know you think you've seen it, 2920 02:32:45.799 --> 02:32:48.680 all and the MINUTE i tell you on garden, line 2921 02:32:48.799 --> 02:32:51.719 now you can't grow A i don't, know blue spruce 2922 02:32:51.799 --> 02:32:54.440 tree here In.

One but plants can't, read and that 2926 02:33:02.559 --> 02:33:05.200 that is unfortunate because you can read things in books 2927 02:33:05.239 --> 02:33:07.639 that say things about, plants and the plants can't, read 2928 02:33:07.719 --> 02:33:10.520 so they don't know.
