Speaker 1: Rickard.
Speaker 2: It's a trim just watch him as many.
Speaker 3: Birth things sor.
Speaker 4: Sun good Sunday morning. Hey, welcome to garden Line. We
Speaker 4: have a lot of gardening types of things to talk
Speaker 4: about today, including your questions. By the way, you would
Speaker 4: like to ask a question seven one three two one
Speaker 4: two K t R. H. Should be happy to visit
Speaker 4: with you and help you have a more bountiful garden
Speaker 4: and a beautiful landscape. That's what we're here for. And uh,
Speaker 4: I've got a few things I'd like to visit about
Speaker 4: this morning. Definitely, this is the season for the turf
Speaker 4: to wake up and take off running boy. This week
Speaker 4: a little rainstorm coming in tonight, but the Monday, Tuesday,
Speaker 4: and Wednesday are gonna be perfect weather for all of
Speaker 4: our warm seas and plants to take off and grow.
Speaker 4: Our Turf's gonna wait, it's gonna be a huge difference
Speaker 4: in the way your long looks between now today and
Speaker 4: the way to look on let's say about Thursday. For sure,
Speaker 4: we got some rain coming out at the end of
Speaker 4: the week on Thursday and Friday, and then as far
Speaker 4: as it looks now, a good weekend next weekend too,
Speaker 4: which that's always important. Good Sunday weekends. That's that makes
Speaker 4: it nice. But Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, oh my goodness, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna spend a lot of that time out in my
Speaker 4: yard and h it's because I've got some catching up
Speaker 4: to do. There's an old saying that the Copplers kids
Speaker 4: go barefoot. I told somebody that the other day, and they,
Speaker 4: you know, kind of were thinking, well, that may mean
Speaker 4: somehow they're connecting to the soil, you know, walking barefoot,
Speaker 4: connecting to the earth, that kind of thing. No, that's
Speaker 4: not it means. What it means is that the guy
Speaker 4: who makes the shoes, he don't have time to make
Speaker 4: shoes for his own family kids are going barefoot. Well,
Speaker 4: when it comes to horticulture, sometimes that's true too. And
Speaker 4: you know, yesterday I was out had a really good
Speaker 4: time at the Home and Garden show at the Berry Center.
Speaker 4: That was Cipher Home and Garden Show. That was a
Speaker 4: great time. Thanks for everybody that came out for that.
Speaker 4: Good to visit with you and meet some of the listeners. Anyway,
Speaker 4: I was running around doing that and other things like that.
Speaker 4: The horticultural endeavors I'm up to. So bottom line is, yeah,
Speaker 4: come home and It's like it's a good thing that
Speaker 4: radio is not a visual medium. People could see me
Speaker 4: standing in the slawn right now, they might just turn
Speaker 4: off the radio do something else now. Seriously, it's not
Speaker 4: that bad. But I do have some clean enough to do.
Speaker 4: Our lawns have a lot of dead material in them,
Speaker 4: and just like an ornamental grass in your flower bed,
Speaker 4: if you cut it back at the end of winter,
Speaker 4: when you cut that grass back, the fresh new growth
Speaker 4: comes out. I was looking at some neighborhoods were in
Speaker 4: the Copper Field area of Houston yesterday since I was
Speaker 4: in that area, and just notice they'd cut all the
Speaker 4: grasses back in this esplanade. Oh man, they look good,
Speaker 4: fresh growth already coming out. Do you have to cut
Speaker 4: a grass back? No, Nature doesn't cut a grass back.
Speaker 4: Nature occasionally sends a thunderstorm and lightning strike causes a
Speaker 4: fire that burns across the prairie and burns all the
Speaker 4: dead material back and it comes out looking good again.
Speaker 4: But no, nature doesn't cut the grass back, but it
Speaker 4: would look better if it did, and so will your
Speaker 4: ornamental clumps of grasses. And the same is true with
Speaker 4: your lawn. You don't have to scalp back or cut
Speaker 4: back in the spring, but it looks better get all
Speaker 4: that old, dead material out of there. And we had
Speaker 4: a good hard freezer two this year that really burned
Speaker 4: my grass. My lawn just turned tan real quick with
Speaker 4: the fryback of the freeze. It's all coming back out
Speaker 4: green again. It's time for me to clean that up.
Speaker 4: But don't throw that away. It's good material, good for
Speaker 4: your garden, good for your flower bed. You can mix
Speaker 4: it into the soil, those clippings and things, let them
Speaker 4: decompose a little bit and then plant, or you can
Speaker 4: just use them like I do, as either a maulch
Speaker 4: on top of the soil or walkway material. When there's
Speaker 4: not so much of the clippings, I just recycle them
Speaker 4: back into the lawn. But I'm about to have a
Speaker 4: lot of organic material trimmed back from all the dead
Speaker 4: and then the new what's now become new living green
Speaker 4: grass coming up. Getting all that trimmed out, it's going
Speaker 4: to create a lot probably too much to mulch back.
Speaker 4: And my mower doesn't do as good a job at
Speaker 4: mulching as I wish it did. I'm looking into switching
Speaker 4: a blade out, and they even have another more that
Speaker 4: I'm starting to use that I think is going to
Speaker 4: do a better job at that. But recycling is the
Speaker 4: way nature does it. It just is the way nobody
Speaker 4: rakes the forest or bags the meadow. Nobody rakes the
Speaker 4: forest or bags the meadow. Nature recycles naturally, and you
Speaker 4: can too at your yard, and we should. It's a
Speaker 4: good way to go. Now, when do we not come
Speaker 4: clippings two times? One when it's rained and rained and
Speaker 4: rained in its summertime and the grass is growing fast,
Speaker 4: and for two weeks you can't get out there and mow,
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a hayfield on your hands. So yeah,
Speaker 4: go ahead and gather those clippings, but do something with
Speaker 4: them in your landscape. The second time is like right now,
Speaker 4: I'm driving past some lawns yesterday that I wouldn't even
Speaker 4: sure there was grass there. It was just solid weeds,
Speaker 4: solid weeds, and those weeds have gone to seed our
Speaker 4: cool season weeds are blooming and setting seeds, And so
Speaker 4: that first mowing would be a good one to capture
Speaker 4: and at least get some of those seeds from the
Speaker 4: weeds out of your lawn. That would make a lot
Speaker 4: of sense. So that's a time when I would do
Speaker 4: that kind of a capturing of the clippings, if you will.
Speaker 4: Other than that, just more regularly with a good sharp
Speaker 4: more blade and recycle them back in. Now it's with
Speaker 4: it warming up a little bit, we are looking at
Speaker 4: starting our longer term of slow release fertilization schedule, and
Speaker 4: you'll see that on my schedule. Starts in April. On
Speaker 4: my schedule. You know, when I do the schedule, I
Speaker 4: kind of have to create one calendar, and I got
Speaker 4: people in Galveston reading it, and I have people in
Speaker 4: Huntspill reading it. So do you see the problem there?
Speaker 4: There's a variation, So if you want to, if you're
Speaker 4: down further south, you can begin to do the slow
Speaker 4: releases anytime you want. Now, I'm still my first fertilization
Speaker 4: is still going to be a faster release, just to
Speaker 4: give a quick boost and get it going. But nine
Speaker 4: to five Superturf is their silver bag that is a
Speaker 4: slow release, and I've got some on hand that will
Speaker 4: be used this year as we warm up and the
Speaker 4: grass begins to grow, because you're going to get four
Speaker 4: months out of it, four months of feeding. That's good
Speaker 4: for two reasons. Number One, you fertilize once and you've
Speaker 4: done it, you don't worry about it keeps speeding it up.
Speaker 4: And then when you return the clippings, you're just recycling
Speaker 4: those materials and it's even better. But the other thing
Speaker 4: about it is when you put a dump of high
Speaker 4: nitrate all at once on your lawn, you get a
Speaker 4: growth response of fast top growth, which means you got
Speaker 4: to mow more. And then you also get the effect
Speaker 4: of shorter root growth. Excessive nitrogen applications cause top growth
Speaker 4: to be greater than the development of the root growth.
Speaker 4: And when we go into summer and droughts and grubs
Speaker 4: two and on roots and all the other issues grass
Speaker 4: deals with, we don't want that. We would like a
Speaker 4: nice balanced grass plant and nitrobus superturf can provide you
Speaker 4: that by giving that gradual feed. Again, it's a silver bag.
Speaker 4: You're going to find nitavass products and plants and things,
Speaker 4: and Branham m D Clear Lake in a Onmbay, a
Speaker 4: Bay Area boulevard, and then in Sagemont MD Beamer will
Speaker 4: also carry those products. We're hitting up against a quick
Speaker 4: break here. I'll be right back and if you'd like
Speaker 4: to give me a call. Seven one three two one
Speaker 4: two Ktrh. Alrighty Maria, who remembers the Wonders, or, as
Speaker 4: one of the band members called them, the o Neiders.
Speaker 4: It's a good movie. Tom Hanks wrote the music for
Speaker 4: it too. That is amazing to me. I mean, you
Speaker 4: think you've gone back to nineteen fifty listening to the soundtrack.
Speaker 4: It was really, really, really creative on his part. Hey,
Speaker 4: you're listening to garden Line, not a music show. Although
Speaker 4: we do throw some music in here and there, we'll
Speaker 4: get weird today a couple of times, so hang on,
Speaker 4: don't go far. We'll throw We'll expand your musical palette,
Speaker 4: or at least make an attempt to. Now you made
Speaker 4: debate whether it's expanded in ways that you care to
Speaker 4: be expanded, But I don't know. We'll work that out. Hey,
Speaker 4: you're listening to garden Line. I'm your host, Skip Richter,
Speaker 4: and we're here to help you have success in what
Speaker 4: you're doing in your garden. Feel free to give me
Speaker 4: a call. Seven one three two one two. Katie r. H.
Speaker 4: And Cheney Forest is one of those garden centers that
Speaker 4: is a destination. And you know, and I don't use
Speaker 4: that term lightly. I mean if I would see a
Speaker 4: day going out and visiting antenna for ust, walking through,
Speaker 4: seeing the plants, seeing just all the displays and things
Speaker 4: that they have to me, that is just like going
Speaker 4: to the park. And actually it's better than going to
Speaker 4: the park because I get to bring stuff home. They
Speaker 4: have an outstanding selection right now of vegetables and herbs
Speaker 4: and annual flowers and perennial flowers and ornamental grasses and
Speaker 4: shrubs and trees and roses and you name it. By
Speaker 4: the way, now would be a good time to grab
Speaker 4: a blooming tree to add to the landscape, maybe something
Speaker 4: like a Chinese fringe tree. They carry those out there.
Speaker 4: Chinese French my favorite spring blooming tree, and it just
Speaker 4: is it's beautiful. It doesn't grow too big. So our
Speaker 4: modern city lots, you know, you can't. We still have
Speaker 4: the room we used to have back in the day
Speaker 4: where a city lot was a third of an acre
Speaker 4: or half an acre, and now it's not. Now you
Speaker 4: can reach out your window enclosure, neighbors blinds, the houses
Speaker 4: are so close together. So a tree like China, these
Speaker 4: friends are really good one and they carry that out there.
Speaker 4: Of course they have everything else that you can imagine,
Speaker 4: beautiful pottery containers, a wonderful gift shop, nice house, plant selection,
Speaker 4: and chanet Forest is. If you were in Richmond heading
Speaker 4: towards sugar Land up fifty nine, it's off to the
Speaker 4: right on FM twenty seven fifty nine FM twenty seven
Speaker 4: to fifty nine. But write down this email excuse me
Speaker 4: website and check it out because you Their website is awesome.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of great information on there, and you
Speaker 4: need to stay, you know, up to date on what's
Speaker 4: going because you're going to want to go out there.
Speaker 4: There are lots of good events throughout the spring as well. Hey,
Speaker 4: the website is enchanted Forest Richmond, TX dot com. Enchanted Forest, Richmond,
Speaker 4: TX dot com. I need to get back at This's
Speaker 4: been a few weeks since I've been out there and
Speaker 4: just need to go back out and see what's going on.
Speaker 4: You know. I love I love our garden centers because
Speaker 4: if you if you go out to one and then
Speaker 4: two or three weeks later you go out again, it's different.
Speaker 4: There's a whole new group of plants, the seasons are evolving,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, here comes some real
Speaker 4: beautiful hibiscus because it's warming up or some other kind
Speaker 4: of transition like that. It makes it nice. I am
Speaker 4: a garden tourist, by the way, I am. I'm a
Speaker 4: horticultural tourist. Maybe we need to open up a horticulture
Speaker 4: tourism bureau here in Houston. That'd be a good thing
Speaker 4: for the council to do. Horticulture tourism bureau. People come
Speaker 4: to Houston and they can go to the arboretum, you know,
Speaker 4: bodanical gardens, and go to different awesome garden centers that
Speaker 4: we have here and other things like that. Speaking of
Speaker 4: a good stop on the trip would be Southwest Fertilizer.
Speaker 4: Southwest Fertilizer is the place you go to get everything
Speaker 4: you need to have success with your garden with vegetables, herbs,
Speaker 4: fruit flowers, fruit trees, vines, fruit bushes, lawns. Of course
Speaker 4: it's lawn season, so if you're looking for fertilizers. They
Speaker 4: have every type, every type in the world, Nitrophoss and
Speaker 4: turf Star from Nelson and Microlife and Southwest own Premium
Speaker 4: Gold that's our own fifteen five times slow release. They
Speaker 4: carry it all right there and they also have a
Speaker 4: use It's usually available on hand a soil probe and
Speaker 4: you can check that out and go home and take
Speaker 4: a soil sample and send it in. So it's real
Speaker 4: nice and handy to be able to take the probe home,
Speaker 4: do the sample, and bring it back to them, and
Speaker 4: then you send it in and then you know exactly
Speaker 4: what your sol situation is and what you need to
Speaker 4: do about it. They're entering their seventieth year and they've
Speaker 4: been around since nineteen fifty five. That is amazing. But
Speaker 4: the reason they've been around is because when you walk
Speaker 4: in there, you walk out with whatever you need. If
Speaker 4: they don't have it, you don't need it. I've never
Speaker 4: been in there that I was looking for something that
Speaker 4: is important to have in the gardening world that wasn't
Speaker 4: At Southwest Fertilizer corner of Bissonett and Renwick. You walk in,
Speaker 4: you're going to get friendly service. You know you're going
Speaker 4: to get quality products and an awesome selection. And they
Speaker 4: can help you too with that old fashioned service of
Speaker 4: helping you diagnose something. Bring them a weed, bring them
Speaker 4: a picture, bring them whatever of a sick plant, and
Speaker 4: they will point you at the product that will solve
Speaker 4: that problem. I love going in there in fact, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna be there later this year, me next month, the
Speaker 4: next month, I'm gonna make an appearance out there at
Speaker 4: Southwest Fertilizer. Let's see where are we here? I get
Speaker 4: to talking, I lose complete track of time. Now we've
Speaker 4: got some time left. I'll just give you the number
Speaker 4: again if you'd like to call seven one three two
Speaker 4: one two k t r H seven one three two
Speaker 4: one two k t r H. The folks at Nelson
Speaker 4: produce quality fertilizers. It's as simple as that, you know.
Speaker 4: They have different lines of fertilizer. They have Nutristar, Nature Star,
Speaker 4: They've got the turf Star, turf Stars, the one for
Speaker 4: weeds and for lawns. For example, there's Bruce's Brew, which
Speaker 4: is a quick green up for your lawn, but it
Speaker 4: also some forms of nitrogen in it release more gradually also,
Speaker 4: so you end up with getting a more spread out,
Speaker 4: more even feed as a result. It's an excellent product,
Speaker 4: very good. The ratio is perfect for our area lawns now.
Speaker 4: They have the Weedinator, which has a broadly weed control
Speaker 4: in it, but you got to wet the grass and
Speaker 4: put it down on wet weeds. Not an inch of
Speaker 4: water on them. I'm talking about just enough to wet
Speaker 4: the surface. So if we got a rain coming, you know,
Speaker 4: don't put it out for a range. It's going to
Speaker 4: wash it right off. When you wet the weeds, put
Speaker 4: it down. It sticks to the weeds, and give it
Speaker 4: a day or two and some of that material is
Speaker 4: going to go in and kill the weed. And then
Speaker 4: the watering or irrigation then washes the fertilizer down in
Speaker 4: the soil. So it's just another one to do. But
Speaker 4: I'm telling you you need an hot delay. If you're
Speaker 4: doing that, a lot of the weeds you're going to seed,
Speaker 4: and as that happens, even if you kill a weed,
Speaker 4: the seed's still there, and so you kind of missed
Speaker 4: a window to avoid being sentenced to another spring of
Speaker 4: weeds next year from all the seed that this year's
Speaker 4: weeds produced. So get out there and get that done.
Speaker 4: Nelson Plant Food products or quality they work. I use
Speaker 4: them myself just the other day using some of the
Speaker 4: Rose Rose blend that's part of the nutri Star line.
Speaker 4: You know, the nutri Stars all the specific vegetable or
Speaker 4: some fruit and flowers. You know, there's a plumeria from
Speaker 4: Nutristar there's a rose from mutra Star, there's a vegetable
Speaker 4: from fruit and from nutri Star. So those are all
Speaker 4: canisters that are available at garden centers near you. The
Speaker 4: forks don't forget when when we provide our plants with
Speaker 4: boosts of nutrients, they have the energy to take off
Speaker 4: and grow well. They have they have the the things
Speaker 4: that are needed to create new plant parts. It's it's
Speaker 4: like you're giving them all the pieces and parts and
Speaker 4: then the sunshines on the leaves and it puts it
Speaker 4: all together and the plant grows like crazy happy. But
Speaker 4: a lot of times we kind of starve our plants
Speaker 4: by not providing them the nutrients that they need. So
Speaker 4: just something to think about a lot of ways we
Speaker 4: can provide that good material for the plants to thrive.
Speaker 4: Plants for all seasons is the garden center that's up
Speaker 4: there on Tumball Parkway. That's Highway two forty nine goes
Speaker 4: to Tumball. If you're going north, you just exit Luetta
Speaker 4: and it's right there on to forty nine. Plants for
Speaker 4: all seed minorans is nineteen seventy three. The flowery family
Speaker 4: has been there since. I guess the way I put
Speaker 4: it yesterday was since FM two forty nine was a
Speaker 4: goat trail. Basically, some of you remember the days as
Speaker 4: Houston has grown outward and outward and outward over the years.
Speaker 4: So they know what they're doing. They've gardened here, they've
Speaker 4: helped people with gardens here. They know what plants grow.
Speaker 4: That's what they sell, plants that grow here. They know
Speaker 4: how to advise you, and they don't mind taking time
Speaker 4: to help you. Do you have a problem, you want
Speaker 4: to bring it in a sample or a picture, they'll
Speaker 4: take time to help you.
Speaker 1: Do you do you?
Speaker 4: You know, Skip was talking about how great containers are
Speaker 4: and we don't use them enough. I want a container,
Speaker 4: but I don't know how to do it. Well, they've
Speaker 4: got the containers, of course, gorgeous ones, but they have
Speaker 4: all the plants and they'll actually say, well, these three
Speaker 4: would go well together in a container. Or you know,
Speaker 4: they'll they'll guide you because they want you to have success.
Speaker 4: That's how it works there Plants for all seasons dot
Speaker 4: Com two eight, one, three, seven, six, sixteen forty six.
Speaker 4: We're going to head out now to Conroe and talk
Speaker 4: to Vicky. Hey, Vicky, welcome to garden Line.
Speaker 5: Thank you skip.
Speaker 6: I was given a pot of panstance spoony and they're beautiful.
Speaker 7: But now they've stopped.
Speaker 8: What can I do with them?
Speaker 6: Can I plant them? And do I cut off the
Speaker 6: stock with the schedules?
Speaker 4: Did you say hyacinth?
Speaker 8: I did?
Speaker 4: Okay, Hyacinths here are kind of what we call a
Speaker 4: one shot wonder. They're like tulips. You can get a bulb,
Speaker 4: it'll bloom, but just due to our climate and things,
Speaker 4: they don't tend to repeat and come back year after year.
Speaker 4: Now you may get lucky. You could put the thing
Speaker 4: out in the ground. After the blooms, it's going to
Speaker 4: have its foliage and it needs that to replenish its
Speaker 4: stored reserves to have a shot at reblooming next year.
Speaker 4: But in general they're not one of the dependable bulbs
Speaker 4: that we can just go year after year with in
Speaker 4: the landscape. So main thing is, if you're going to try,
Speaker 4: get it in the ground, give it every chance it
Speaker 4: can to get good sunlight on the leaves and replenish
Speaker 4: its reserves so that it can bloom again.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, blue, there you go.
Speaker 4: There you go. It's always worth a try. That's fun.
Speaker 4: That's fun. Thank you, Vicky, appreciate that call. You take care.
Speaker 4: Let's see here where we Yeah, I can take another call.
Speaker 4: We're going to go to Northwest Houston now and talk
Speaker 4: to Paula. Paula, welcome to Gardenline.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 10: When you repot plants, especially once in large containers.
Speaker 8: What do you do with the old soil?
Speaker 4: You can keep using it. There's not a need to
Speaker 4: get rid of the old soil. What happens over time
Speaker 4: is yeah, yeah, I mean, well, if a plant died
Speaker 4: of a disease, then if it was a soil borne disease,
Speaker 4: I would Yeah, that's different. But in general, the potting
Speaker 4: soil over time decomposes away and it gets it gets smaller,
Speaker 4: it shrinks. That's why you know a pot that was
Speaker 4: full last year maybe half full by the end of
Speaker 4: this year. Uh. And so what we do is we
Speaker 4: add new potting soil to it, freshen it up, to
Speaker 4: bring up the levels and everything. You can do that,
Speaker 4: but you don't have to get rid of the old soil.
Speaker 4: It doesn't go bad. It just does what nature does,
Speaker 4: and that's decompose and continue that so good for soil
Speaker 4: that drains well is important. Sometimes potting soil over two
Speaker 4: or three or four years decomposes to the point of
Speaker 4: being very kind of fine textured and mucky. It stays
Speaker 4: too wet, it doesn't have the airspace in it that
Speaker 4: we would like to do. So that's why bringing in
Speaker 4: some fresh soil to repot it and bring it back
Speaker 4: up to the level you want.
Speaker 11: Good, great, thank you, all.
Speaker 4: Right, thank you, appreciate your car.
Speaker 1: Bye bye.
Speaker 4: We you know, we there's a lot of myths out
Speaker 4: there in gardening, a lot where people are you know,
Speaker 4: they say something and usually it's half true or based
Speaker 4: on truth, but then it crosses a line where it
Speaker 4: just becomes untrue. And the idea of having to you
Speaker 4: got to replace your putting soil all the time, No,
Speaker 4: you don't. You don't have to do that. You know,
Speaker 4: there's reasons when you would, and I mentioned diseases of
Speaker 4: the roots and things that would be a good reason
Speaker 4: to do that. But you don't have to have to
Speaker 4: do that. But we always need fresh because Roy for
Speaker 4: replenishing it, making it better. I'm gonna take a little
Speaker 4: break here if you'd like to call and get on
Speaker 4: the board to be ready to go first when we
Speaker 4: come back. Seven one, three, two, one two ktr h. Oh, Yeah,
Speaker 4: happy music for Sunday morning. Hey, welcome back to the

Speaker 4: excited about gardening right now, you probably can't even feel
Speaker 4: a pulse. That means you you can't. I want to
Speaker 4: have that checked because it is the time to be
Speaker 4: excited about gardening. So many good things to do.
Speaker 6: Uh.

Speaker 4: and I would recommend that you go check them out
Speaker 4: because the most important thing you can do to have
Speaker 4: success is to prepare the soul before you plan. That
Speaker 4: is the single most important thing that you can do
Speaker 4: before you plan. So see Namolt that's the place you
Speaker 4: need to go. And next Saturday would be a good
Speaker 4: time one to three. I'll be out there. Of course
Speaker 4: the event will be going on. I believe longer than that.
Speaker 4: I need to pull that up that they're going to
Speaker 4: have other things going on around there. They always have
Speaker 4: a good time. I always have a good time when
Speaker 4: I go there to see Nmos in the yard. If
Speaker 4: you have not put in a pre emergent and you're
Speaker 4: wanting to, now's the time to get it done. You know,
Speaker 4: in on my schedule online at gardening with Skip dot com.
Speaker 4: My schedules that are up there. There's each month, you know,
Speaker 4: January February March Aple mailed way to December, and there's
Speaker 4: bars that say we'll do this now, and do this now,
Speaker 4: and I will sometimes get a question that says, well,
Speaker 4: I missed it, then can I do it now? Yes,
Speaker 4: just go ahead and get it done. But when we
Speaker 4: miss the timing, we lose the full effect. So barricade
Speaker 4: from nitroposs. It prevents weed seeds from coming up, both
Speaker 4: grassyweeds and broadleaf weeds. Someone asked me yesterday at the
Speaker 4: Cipher Home Show, you know what about crabgrass. How do
Speaker 4: you get rid of crabgrass? Well, barricade. You put barricade
Speaker 4: down and you prevent crabgrass from ever getting started. So
Speaker 4: the longer you wait, the more weeds have already germinated.
Speaker 4: And you kind of missed the boat on those. But
Speaker 4: there's still weeds that will germinate that you can prevent.
Speaker 4: But timing is a important That's why we have the
Speaker 4: schedules out there. Barricade comes in a ten pound bag
Speaker 4: that'll cover five thousand square feet because you're not using
Speaker 4: very much of it. And what you do is you
Speaker 4: put it out, you watered in, it goes into the
Speaker 4: soil surface. It forms a barricade, and when a weed
Speaker 4: seed tries to send a root down and get going.
Speaker 4: It says no, you're not, and it stops it right there,
Speaker 4: and you're going to find barricade. Like other Nitrofos products
Speaker 4: in many places, Fisher's Hardware and Baytown Lake Hardware done
Speaker 4: include and Lake Hardware and Angleton as well. If you
Speaker 4: are in the Tomball area, D and D Feed we'll
Speaker 4: carry the barricade as well, and as does plants for
Speaker 4: all seasons as you head up north on two forty nine.
Speaker 4: Another good product from Nitrofoss Timing Timing Timing. I've been
Speaker 4: contemplating putting something together just to talk about weed control,
Speaker 4: and the more I talk to people at these appearances
Speaker 4: and just calls on guardline and emails and things, and
Speaker 4: having been a County Extension Horticultures for thirty five years,
Speaker 4: I kind of heard a lot of questions on weeds
Speaker 4: over the years, and I just realized there's a lot
Speaker 4: of confusion out there. People maybe they half hear something,
Speaker 4: or they take what they hear about one situation and
Speaker 4: apply it to another, which doesn't always work that way.
Speaker 4: I know that's being kind of cryptic to put it
Speaker 4: that way, but my point is that a lot of
Speaker 4: people don't understand weeds. I put a post on to
Speaker 4: Instagram and Facebook a couple of weeks ago, and it
Speaker 4: was about the difference between pre emergent and post emergent,
Speaker 4: just the simple difference between those two. But there's other
Speaker 4: things that are helpful to know, Like there's cool season
Speaker 4: weeds and warm season weeds, and so then there's the
Speaker 4: products that are just the weed control and the products
Speaker 4: that have weed control with fertilizer in them, and each
Speaker 4: one of those deserves its own little spot to explain it.
Speaker 4: How does it work, when do you have to do it?
Speaker 4: Does it work? You know, that'd be another question to add,
Speaker 4: does it work even at all? And how to have
Speaker 4: success with them? And so we just need to kind
Speaker 4: of take all those things apart to understand. I go
Speaker 4: over it here on the air, But when it comes
Speaker 4: to the bottom line, if I were to take it
Speaker 4: down to the ABC on weeds, it's that in the spring,
Speaker 4: starting in early spring, the warm season weeds begin to
Speaker 4: germinate from seed, and the perennial weeds come to begin
Speaker 4: to emerge from the soil from the plant themselves. They're perennials.
Speaker 4: The plant lives here after year and so a perennial
Speaker 4: weed would be something like dichondra for example, or a
Speaker 4: dollar weed would be another example of a perennial weed.
Speaker 4: So while they can come from seed, you've if you've
Speaker 4: got if you had the weed last year, you're gonna
Speaker 4: have a weed this year because it's a perennial. But
Speaker 4: then the others germinate from seed.
Speaker 8: So what do you do.
Speaker 4: Well, on a weed that's coming from seed, you can
Speaker 4: prevent it with a pre emergent. That's one thing you
Speaker 4: can do. If you get the pre emergent down in time.
Speaker 4: On a weed that's already existing, you would then need
Speaker 4: to use a post emergent. When it shows its face,
Speaker 4: you spray something on it that would kill it. But
Speaker 4: the bottom line on all weed control is good lawn care.
Speaker 4: If you don't take care of your lawn, and if
Speaker 4: nature has its way ravaging your lawn, then you're going
Speaker 4: to have weed problems. You will open up spaces in
Speaker 4: the thinning lawn for sunlight to hit the soil and
Speaker 4: weeds will proliferate. And I don't think the way to
Speaker 4: have a lawn is to spend your January to February
Speaker 4: just constantly killing weeds with pre emergents and post emergents
Speaker 4: and pre emergents and post ama where you're just doing
Speaker 4: that's your weed control. That is what we do when
Speaker 4: we've done all we can, but we also know that
Speaker 4: weeds are still going to be there to some degree.
Speaker 4: But the first goal you should have, and I know
Speaker 4: I'm drowning on here, first goal you should have is
Speaker 4: how do I get how do I get that lawn
Speaker 4: so thick that most weeds can't get enough sunlight to
Speaker 4: sprout or they get choked out by my lawn. That's
Speaker 4: why I have the lawn care schedule. And if you
Speaker 4: do that, then you go to the schedule on how
Speaker 4: do I kill a weed? Okay, and you can use that,
Speaker 4: but if you only use how can I kill a weed,
Speaker 4: you're just on a treadmill and it's constantly going to
Speaker 4: be one thing and another and you're not going to
Speaker 4: ever be really happy with the lawn. So those products
Speaker 4: have a place and they can work, but it got
Speaker 4: to begin with good, healthy, dense lawn that takes the
Speaker 4: majority of your issues out of the picture and you
Speaker 4: deal with the exceptions. And that's kind of what we
Speaker 4: want to go after. I hope that makes sense, at
Speaker 4: least it does for me. Buchanan's Garden Center it actually
Speaker 4: Buchanan's Native Plants is on Eleventh Street in the Heights,
Speaker 4: and at Buchanans there's always something exciting going on.

Speaker 4: That's what we'd like to see happen. You know, Nature's
Speaker 4: way resources is set up for that exact same result,
Speaker 4: because the way nature handles things is nature puts organic
Speaker 4: matter in the soil, decomposes it, and creates the best
Speaker 4: stuff in the world for plants to thrive. And that's
Speaker 4: what happens at Nature's Way. They take materials and they
Speaker 4: turn them into the perfect soils. I don't care what
Speaker 4: you're going to grow, whether it's fruit, trees, or vegetables
Speaker 4: or flowers or whatever. You're trying to do. Maybe it's
Speaker 4: a mulch on top of the ground, a double shredded mulch,
Speaker 4: or some other particular type of mulch that you want
Speaker 4: to use. You're going to find it at Nature's Way
Speaker 4: and they make quality mixes like the rose soil and
Speaker 4: the vegetable growing soils and the fruit tree growing soils.

Speaker 4: percent off, which is really a good deal. High quality

Speaker 4: excellent selection of natives for this area too. The bottom
Speaker 4: line is you got to go buy there and check

Speaker 4: Green we're going to go now out To ethel in
Speaker 4: a Viter, Hey, ethel welcome To.
Speaker 12: Gardline good.
Speaker 13: MORNING i have a question regarding a replant or planning
Speaker 13: a magno, you the white magno. You we've lost, One
Speaker 13: oh my, goodness probably sixty years old due to the
Speaker 13: heat and the. Frost my sister gifted me with one.
Speaker 13: YESTERDAY i want to say it's probably in a ten gallon,
Speaker 13: pot maybe. Bigger when we plant, THAT i ASSUME i
Speaker 13: was going to use the nitro. Falls we have the
Speaker 13: jungle land that we use on all of our. PLANTS
Speaker 13: i was going to use the nitro. Falls is there
Speaker 13: a what is the number of, uh you, know the
Speaker 13: numbers in the niper falls that would be safe to
Speaker 13: plant that?
Speaker 4: With, well first of, all, well first of, ALL i
Speaker 4: wouldn't use the jungle land for the. Magnolia that's good
Speaker 4: for containers and. Things. UH i would just dig the
Speaker 4: dig the it's going to have to live in the
Speaker 4: soil that you, have and SO i wouldn't amend the
Speaker 4: soil in the hole for the. MAGNOIA i would dig
Speaker 4: the hole only as deep as that root cylinder that's
Speaker 4: in the. Pot so don't if you dig it deeper
Speaker 4: and put soil back in the bottom of the, hole
Speaker 4: it'll settle and it'll end up being too too. Shallow
Speaker 4: and you want the topmost root to be very close
Speaker 4: to the soil, line the topmost root on that plant
Speaker 4: in the, pot and then bring the soil back in around.
Speaker 4: It if when you take it out of the, container
Speaker 4: lay it over and slide it out and look for
Speaker 4: a circling root going. Around and if you see, that
Speaker 4: you need to just take your snippers and cut those,
Speaker 4: roots because circling roots get bigger and the trunk gets,
Speaker 4: bigger and eight ten years down the, line you have
Speaker 4: problems if you don't cut those circling. Roots so go
Speaker 4: ahead and cut those and then put it in the
Speaker 4: ground and watered in really. GOOD i would get some
Speaker 4: medina has to grow plant food and it is a
Speaker 4: six twelve six is the numbers on. It it's a.
Speaker 4: Liquid mix it in water in a watering, can and
Speaker 4: water that thing in when you plant it very. Well
Speaker 4: then do it again a week, later and a third
Speaker 4: time a week after, that and that will give that
Speaker 4: root system the best chance of getting well established. Quickly
Speaker 4: diena hash to grow six twelve. Six go ahead and
Speaker 4: do that. One and water is really. Good, okay now
Speaker 4: as it begins to. Grow once we get into the,
Speaker 4: season and you know we're six eight weeks or so
Speaker 4: in after, planting then you can begin to use a
Speaker 4: fertilizer like you could use a nitrofass turf type fertilizer
Speaker 4: if you want. To if you mentioned, nitrophiles a turf
Speaker 4: type fertilizer would be just fine and moderate. Amounts look
Speaker 4: at how big the trunk is and give it a
Speaker 4: cup of nitrophas fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter and
Speaker 4: sprinkle it all around the. Tree don't dump it at the.
Speaker 4: Bottom sprinkle it about a two to four foot circle
Speaker 4: around that young tree two to four feet out from the,
Speaker 4: trunk excuse, me and watered in real good and that'll
Speaker 4: give it a shot and it'll have and then after
Speaker 4: that it's mulching and keeping the soul.
Speaker 13: Moist, okay, okay very. Good so you said turn it
Speaker 13: over when we go to it in the hold and
Speaker 13: then cut those.
Speaker 4: Roots, well some people will grab the trunk and kind
Speaker 4: of like pull it up to get it out of the.
Speaker 4: Pot number. One that's hard to. Do BUT i like
Speaker 4: to lay it, over kind of bump the pot with
Speaker 4: your hand and it'll slide right. Out and that way
Speaker 4: you can examine the roots and any that you see
Speaker 4: going around that hit the side of that container and
Speaker 4: are circling around. It go ahead and cut those out,
Speaker 4: there and within two weeks of planting, it there will
Speaker 4: already be fresh new roots coming from the cut ends
Speaker 4: that you, cut and it'll establish.
Speaker 13: Better oh, okay, okay, well thank you so, much and
Speaker 13: we hope to get it planted this.
Speaker 4: Week all, right good. Luck hope you do get it
Speaker 4: done and very soon enjoy, it you, Bet thank, You

Speaker 4: Season if you did, that wait about six weeks before
Speaker 4: you put out the super turf or the slower feed
Speaker 4: fertilizers that are on the. Market superturf works very. Well
Speaker 4: it's designed for our soil and for our, grass our
Speaker 4: grass as we here in The, south we typically our,
Speaker 4: lawns or most of them Are Saint. Augustine there are
Speaker 4: quite a Few bermuda and quite a Few zois lawns as.
Speaker 4: Well it zis ought to BE i think a higher
Speaker 4: percentage than it. Is but, anyway those are the big
Speaker 4: three nighte to. Five superturfs designed for all those works
Speaker 4: very well for all of. Those you're going to find
Speaker 4: superturf At Plantation Ace hardware out there in The Richmond rosenberg.
Speaker 4: Area you're going to find it At Bearings hardware On
Speaker 4: bisinet as well as one On West. Teimer and you're
Speaker 4: going to find it at products like that At Fisher's.
Speaker 4: Hardware and there's Several Fishers. Hardware you, know there's one In,
Speaker 4: pasadena and there's one At, laporte one In, bellevue among other.
Speaker 4: Places all places where nitrofoss products are for. Sold Super
Speaker 4: turf is like the banner product for the summertime in
Speaker 4: that big silver. Bag, easy easy to pick out from
Speaker 4: across the. Store makes it. Easy so what are we
Speaker 4: going to talk about this? Morning, well you tell me
Speaker 4: seven one three two one TWO. Ktrh seven one three
Speaker 4: two one two KTR. H, well we'll talk about the
Speaker 4: topics that most interest. YOU i want to encourage you
Speaker 4: that if there's any pruning that needs to get, done
Speaker 4: go ahead and get it done. ASAP a lot of
Speaker 4: our trees are starting to push bud now and move.
Speaker 4: Out here's the issue that happens when the trees begin
Speaker 4: to grow and we, print the bark begins to. Slip
Speaker 4: we say, slip meaning if you were to grab cut
Speaker 4: a branch off like three fourths of the way and
Speaker 4: then it falls down and you pulled on, it it'd
Speaker 4: be like peeling a. Banana the bark just peels right
Speaker 4: off the. Wood that's a big wound and not a good,
Speaker 4: thing so be extra careful with. THAT i did a
Speaker 4: video on how to make a three point cut On
Speaker 4: it's On facebook and it's On instagram and you can.
Speaker 4: Look i'm talking about there very, important especially now to
Speaker 4: do a three point cut and avoid stripping that bark.
Speaker 4: Off so get your pruning. Done it's still located to.
Speaker 4: It we can prune twelve months out of the year. Here,
Speaker 4: okay there's times that are better than, others but you
Speaker 4: know it's better to go ahead and get it. Done
Speaker 4: the fastest time of healing is in the. Spring so
Speaker 4: if you were looking at one of those time laps,
Speaker 4: videos you know how you watch a cactus blossom opening
Speaker 4: close in like five seconds and it took hours to do. That,
Speaker 4: well if you saw that on a pruning, wound what
Speaker 4: you would see is the pruning cut is, made and
Speaker 4: then as we get into, spring it starts to close
Speaker 4: over pretty, fast and then as we get into summer
Speaker 4: it slows a whole lot, down and then as we
Speaker 4: get into fall it speeds up a little, bit not
Speaker 4: as fast as, spring and then in winter it stops,
Speaker 4: again and that's kind of the cycle of the year
Speaker 4: of pruning cut. Closure sometime we use the term, healing
Speaker 4: it's really not. Healing it's callousing and closing over what
Speaker 4: it amounts. To so the sooner you get that printing,
Speaker 4: done the more you can take advantage of this early
Speaker 4: callous formation that happens at the fastest time of the
Speaker 4: year here in the, spring and SO i would recommend
Speaker 4: you to do that if you're looking for any kind
Speaker 4: of product for making your outdoor space. BETTER Ace hardware

Speaker 4: when the mealy bugs or aphids or white flies or
Speaker 4: scale or any insect like that sucks on a plant

Speaker 14: Pamela hi, THERE i just love listening to your.
Speaker 4: Show, well thank.
Speaker 8: YOU i have.
Speaker 14: Questions, Well i've been listening for a long time When
Speaker 14: burrows And zach were.
Speaker 4: On, okay And, mike oh, wow you have BEEN i.
Speaker 14: Know, Yeah and my dad used to, say you can
Speaker 14: get a tree to grow ten times it's normal, rate
Speaker 14: And i'm sure that came From burrows And. Zach, ANYWAY i.
Speaker 7: Am you talked about.
Speaker 14: Water crystals yesterday. DAY i did a little research And
Speaker 14: i've got. Some, ACTUALLY i hate to tell you this
Speaker 14: coming this, morning and CAN'T i. WORRY i worry about
Speaker 14: putting tons of mulch or you, know mulch down makes
Speaker 14: it harder for the plants to get the.
Speaker 4: Water.
Speaker 14: Okay Uh So i'm THINKING i have got the when
Speaker 14: cast iron plant across the whole.
Speaker 7: Backyard.
Speaker 14: And THEN i have the azaleas that some of them
Speaker 14: lost their shade because Of burrel and the tree coming.
Speaker 14: Down CAN i do AND i do the bit about your.
Speaker 8: Thing about the leaves leaves go in the flower.
Speaker 14: Beds, Okay so then CAN i.
Speaker 7: Put some water crystals in?
Speaker 14: There and then a soaker hose and then the, mulch
Speaker 14: SO i don't need the water very.
Speaker 4: Much, YEAH i would, Say, pamela save the water crystals
Speaker 4: for potting soils and. Containers that is where it's going
Speaker 4: to be most effective for. You when you put organic
Speaker 4: matter and, compost and when you molt and let it
Speaker 4: decompose and the soil just gets more and more. Compost
Speaker 4: that in and of itself does a great job of holding.
Speaker 4: Moisture and when you've got that drip hose out, there
Speaker 4: the soaker and you're able to water as, needed you're
Speaker 4: going to take care of things like. That but those
Speaker 4: crystals are primarily used in our potting mixes. Indoor you
Speaker 4: can put them outdoors, too but you just mix them
Speaker 4: in at whatever rate it says on the in the
Speaker 4: instructions as you get. Them so you can buy crystal,
Speaker 4: separate or you can buy them like in the jungle
Speaker 4: and already has the crystals in. It the indoor jungle
Speaker 4: already has the crystals in.
Speaker 14: It, well, YEAH i don't have any indoor. Plants it's
Speaker 14: all outdoor AND i only garden buy. Pots nothing goes
Speaker 14: in the. Cot there's too many three roots out.
Speaker 4: There, well then put the. Crystals, yeah put it in
Speaker 4: those pots in the pot soil that's. Outdoors that's.
Speaker 14: Fine, yeah and what it should reduce it by about fifty.
Speaker 14: Percent from What i'm, Understanding.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 4: Depends it depends on a lot of. Things the size
Speaker 4: of the particles of the potting. Soil it tells how
Speaker 4: much water the potting soil can. Hold and some potting
Speaker 4: soils hold a, lot and some it just drains right
Speaker 4: through and it doesn't hold as. Much but you, KNOW
Speaker 4: i wouldn't estimate what, percent BUT i can tell you
Speaker 4: that it'll hold on that water a little, longer and
Speaker 4: it'll make it like if we forget or it gets
Speaker 4: too hot and it dries out, faster it helps.
Speaker 7: A little, bit, okay and then the medina has to.
Speaker 14: Grow somebody a couple of weeks ago said something about
Speaker 14: found to a five gallon purchased a five gallon bottle of.
Speaker 14: It you wouldn't have to know where they got the
Speaker 14: five gallon, one because he said that it was like
Speaker 14: paying for, four so you got one gallon. Free so
Speaker 14: if you use medina a, lot and that's a great.
Speaker 14: Value Remember i'm a homemacked, Teacher.

Speaker 4: it attached to a t post very. Securely the part
Speaker 4: that attaches to the tree is a strap that is
Speaker 4: soft and allows some, movement a little, movement and that is.
Speaker 4: Important from our muscles to a tree Trunk it gets
Speaker 4: stronger when you stretch, it when you test, it when
Speaker 4: you you, know bend it a little. BIT i mean
Speaker 4: you're working, it and that is. True you don't want
Speaker 4: a tree to be tied perfectly stiff still to a.
Speaker 4: Stake you want to allow a little bit of. Movement
Speaker 4: and tree stabilizer diser's designed to do just. That you're
Speaker 4: going to find them AT Rcw. Nursery i've just talked
Speaker 4: ABOUT rcw Second ago Or Hey Hidden gardens done and
Speaker 4: out Then Ciena malts done In siena WHERE i will

Speaker 4: places where you can get the three sixty tree. Stabilizer it's,
Speaker 4: fast it's, easy it saves. Time you don't have to
Speaker 4: put steaks in the ground and wires to trip over
Speaker 4: and cut up a garden hose to go through the
Speaker 4: wire so you don't cut into the tree when you
Speaker 4: stake the tree. Down one tree stabilizers generally all you.
Speaker 4: Need with for some applications you can put a second
Speaker 4: one on to provide even more multidirectional support as the wind.
Speaker 4: Blows three Sixty tree stabilizer a good. Product it really does.
Speaker 4: Work so we were talking about OUR i was talking
Speaker 4: about things that we're doing right. Now the pruning of
Speaker 4: trees is. Important to go ahead and get that. Done
Speaker 4: any pruning you need to, do make sure you use sharp.
Speaker 4: Punters when you finish with your, priunting you need to
Speaker 4: clean your printers. Up you, know sap and moisture and
Speaker 4: things cause causes them to, rust and so clean them
Speaker 4: up a little. Bit get a wire brush and some
Speaker 4: oil and just kind of scrape off any rust that
Speaker 4: might be. There clean them down real, good and leave
Speaker 4: a good coating of oil on them when you put them,
Speaker 4: away and that way next year they'll be ready to. Go,
Speaker 4: now when you're, pruning here's a. Tip when you're. Pruning
Speaker 4: if you're pruning a plant that is likely to be
Speaker 4: a disease issue going, On, okay if you're pruning that
Speaker 4: kind of, plant what you're going to want to do
Speaker 4: is you're going to want to sterilize the pruners in between.
Speaker 4: Cuts in between, Cuts so WHAT i will. Do sometimes
Speaker 4: people say use ten percent bleach. Water, well you can do,
Speaker 4: that but bleach water really pits metal and increases. Rusting
Speaker 4: so if you use bleach, water you're going to need
Speaker 4: to rent them off real good and then oil them
Speaker 4: very well right away when you're done do. That some
Speaker 4: people will use rubbing. Alcohol did a little pint bottle
Speaker 4: of rubbing. Alcohol they'll cut the top off and just
Speaker 4: dip the pruners in there as they go. AROUND i
Speaker 4: think the easiest thing to do is to have a
Speaker 4: low can of something Like life salt that kills, germs
Speaker 4: and when you make a printing, cut just spray that
Speaker 4: printer with life, start just real, quick one little pump
Speaker 4: on both sides to coat. It and that, way if
Speaker 4: it was bacteria like fireblight or, something you're not going
Speaker 4: to carry it on the printers to make the next
Speaker 4: wound where you introduce the disease over. There so that's
Speaker 4: the way you can do. It, also when you have
Speaker 4: a series of, plants always do the plant that is diseased.
Speaker 4: Last and that's true in soil. Too someone was asking
Speaker 4: me about nematodes the other. Day they had nematodes in
Speaker 4: one of their garden, beds AND i, said we'll work
Speaker 4: all the other garden beds with a rototailer or a
Speaker 4: spading fork and do that bed last so you don't
Speaker 4: spread the nematodes to the other. Beds and then get
Speaker 4: your spading for, it get your, rototailer wash it off really,
Speaker 4: good get all the soil clinging to it off so
Speaker 4: you don't spread the nematodes. Around, so whether it's a
Speaker 4: printing cut or whether it's nematods in the, soil that sanitary,
Speaker 4: procedure that process is very. Important, hopefully hopefully that that
Speaker 4: makes sense and that helps out west Of, houston your garden,
Speaker 4: center your go to garden center Is Nelson Water. Gardens
Speaker 4: Nelson Water gardens is In. Katie you head out To
Speaker 4: katie On ien turn north On Katie Fort Ben road

Speaker 4: line seven one three two one TWO. Ktrh we're here
Speaker 4: to answer your gardening. Question so feel free to give
Speaker 4: me a call and we will see what we can
Speaker 4: do to help you have a more bountiful garden and
Speaker 4: a more beautiful. Landscape one way you do that is
Speaker 4: by adding container. Color container color is underutilized in our. Landscapes,
Speaker 4: NOW i know some people go container, crazy AND i
Speaker 4: mean in the Place jos looks like they're selling. CONTAINERS
Speaker 4: i mean every square it's got a container on. It,
Speaker 4: well that's. Fine if you had to water that very,
Speaker 4: often you're kind of, going, yeah this wasn't such a good.
Speaker 4: Idea but you can put drip irrigation into little spaghetti
Speaker 4: tubes go up in the container from a tube on the,
Speaker 4: ground and they water for. You it automatically does, it
Speaker 4: and that is the way to. Go it's also important
Speaker 4: to have a soil in the, container a potting, soil
Speaker 4: a potting media in the container that is going to
Speaker 4: hold water so that it didn't dry out too fast
Speaker 4: but drain excess. Away so a hole in the container
Speaker 4: and good potting soil keeps you from getting water. Logged
Speaker 4: but a good quality potting sal will hold that moisture for.
Speaker 4: You and jungle land is a good quality potting. Sal
Speaker 4: you can buy jungle land for, outdoors it's called flour
Speaker 4: and vegetable planting. Soil you can buy jungle land for.
Speaker 4: Indoors it's called the water saving potting. Soil we were
Speaker 4: just talking about that with a color a little bit.
Speaker 4: Ago those water saving crystals soak up water and they
Speaker 4: hold onto water better even than the soil itself, does
Speaker 4: so when it gets a little on the dry, side
Speaker 4: there at least is a little water left there to
Speaker 4: keep that plant going until you water. AGAIN a nice
Speaker 4: nice addition to. That now you're going to find night
Speaker 4: fust products at ace On Sinkle ranch if you go
Speaker 4: up into The. WOODLANDS aspa ace up in The woodlands
Speaker 4: has got night fast products and hiding and feed ON

Speaker 1: Line good, morning thanks for taking my.
Speaker 16: Call relatively new, listener so may have some crazy. Questions
Speaker 16: i've got a a long trying to take care of
Speaker 16: about ten thousand square. Feet it is a mix Between Saint,
Speaker 16: Augustine bermuda And. Zoutscha i've got the little clover starting
Speaker 16: to pop up with the little white. FLOWERS i didn't
Speaker 16: didn't find out about the show and all the info
Speaker 16: until until it was too late to put out pretty.
Speaker 16: Emergents whatot?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 1: SO i was wondering IF wa can read that now
Speaker 1: or AM i just too?
Speaker 4: LATE i have to live with it all summer, WELL i, Would, uh,
Speaker 4: boy that's quite the Lawn i've NEVER i don't Think
Speaker 4: i've ever had a call from anybody that Had Saint
Speaker 4: augustine bring me To enzoisia all mixed together in a
Speaker 4: lawn that that's. INTERESTING i would do my mowing down
Speaker 4: as low as you can right, now probably for those three,
Speaker 4: together probably you, know inch and a half two inches
Speaker 4: high in. General inch and a half's a little low
Speaker 4: For Saint. Augustine but get it mowed down and get
Speaker 4: all that capture as much of the clippings as you
Speaker 4: can in that area in order to get the weed
Speaker 4: seeds that are there from all the weeds out of. It,
Speaker 4: uh and then proceed to follow my. Schedule and if
Speaker 4: you go, Online kevin to gardening With skip dot, com
Speaker 4: that's me gardening with skip dot. Com my schedules are
Speaker 4: online there as well as other free information on gardening
Speaker 4: if you'll print those. Out the one schedule is just
Speaker 4: how to have a pretty. Lawn it's, mow, water fertilized
Speaker 4: type of. Information the other schedule is what to do
Speaker 4: about lawn, problems and it's, weeds diseases and insects type of.
Speaker 4: Information and they take You january Through, december through all those,
Speaker 4: topics and they tell you what to do, when what
Speaker 4: the products are that work for, That and SO i
Speaker 4: would suggest you do. That that would be a good
Speaker 4: first start to bring in that lawn. Around and if
Speaker 4: you follow, that you can get that lawn dense and healthy,
Speaker 4: again and it's going to choke out a lot of
Speaker 4: its weed.
Speaker 17: Problems So i'm not too late for like a weed
Speaker 17: and feed. APPLICATION i was worried about warm, Weather. KEVIN
Speaker 17: i believe that you, know, summertime it's just right around the.
Speaker 4: Corner, yeah and it.
Speaker 8: Is and the.
Speaker 4: Problem you can still use a weed and, feed but
Speaker 4: that's for broad leaf, weeds and you got to wet
Speaker 4: the weeds first before you put it. Out my preferred
Speaker 4: way to approach problems on lawns is to when you
Speaker 4: need to, fertilize fertilize with a quality. Fertilizer when you
Speaker 4: need to do weed, control figure out what the weeds,
Speaker 4: are what you need to do to get what best
Speaker 4: controls those, weeds and then make that. Application you can
Speaker 4: put them. Together there's a couple of times a year
Speaker 4: where those applications, overlap but in GENERAL i like to
Speaker 4: keep them, separate but, again we're spring is the time
Speaker 4: of the year where we get a little overlap in
Speaker 4: the post. Emergent we'd control, killers but you got to
Speaker 4: follow the label real carefully to have success with. Those, okay, okay, Okay.
Speaker 16: WELL i do appreciates taking my. CALL i HATE i
Speaker 16: was such an, oddity AND i do appreciate.
Speaker 8: That not at.
Speaker 4: All, no not at. All keep listening and call in
Speaker 4: when you need. To that's what we're here. For thanks a, Lot. Mike,
Speaker 4: Absolutely i'm Sorry. Kevin kevin got ahead of my calls
Speaker 4: there a little.
Speaker 8: Bit.
Speaker 4: Uh Microlife fertilizers are an organic fertilizer for our. Area in,
Speaker 4: fact they're they're really for all Of texas and. Beyond
Speaker 4: but it's the number one selling organic here in The houston.
Speaker 4: Area Micro life six. Two that's the green, bag that's
Speaker 4: the lawn fertilizer green. Bag and if you look at my,
Speaker 4: schedule you will see on there that we talk about
Speaker 4: applying That microlife first application at at the beginning Of.
Speaker 4: April you can do it a little earlier than. That
Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with doing it a little bit earlier than,
Speaker 4: that because being an, organic it's going to get on the.
Speaker 4: Ground microbes are going to get a hold of. It
Speaker 4: they're going to turn those nutrients loose and make them
Speaker 4: available to your. Plants that's the green. Bag now you
Speaker 4: may also want to Use microlife h mates. Plus that's
Speaker 4: the purple bag that has some nutrient in. It but
Speaker 4: that's not why we're putting it. Down we're putting it
Speaker 4: down because it is the final decomposition product of. Composting
Speaker 4: it's like concentrated compost and a. Bag you sprinkle those
Speaker 4: granules on your lawn and you do that regularly for
Speaker 4: a period of, time and you slowly build that quality of,
Speaker 4: soil the structure of the, soil the benefits that soil
Speaker 4: holds for the, plant, grass plant health over. Time and
Speaker 4: so that's what the humants plus also. Does AND i
Speaker 4: would recommend doing both of those if you're trying to
Speaker 4: take a lawn from not good to make it, good
Speaker 4: and just be. Patient it's a. Process it takes. Time you,
Speaker 4: know core aer rating and compost top dressing and those
Speaker 4: are all parts of the overall rehabbing a lawn. Process
Speaker 4: But microlife Hum mats plus And microlife Green bag sixty
Speaker 4: four are key elements and it's time to get those.
Speaker 4: Done let's, See i'm up against a. Heartbreak mike And,
Speaker 4: tombaugh you be are first up when we come right.
Speaker 4: Back we're just finishing up The Houston Livestock show And,
Speaker 4: rodeo Which Larry gatlin sings. About so that was a good.
Speaker 4: Run we had a great series of horticulture contests there
Speaker 4: for the youth of The Greater houston. Area lots of
Speaker 4: good things they. Do we do an outdoor landscape. Petition

Speaker 4: lots of floral, contests three different floral contests for all
Speaker 4: arranging contests that those are. AMAZING i tell you WHEN
Speaker 4: i BUT i see what youth can do when it
Speaker 4: comes to all these, categories it's, like, wow that's that
Speaker 4: Is that is? Cool, anyway great great stock, show great.
Speaker 4: Cause by the, way let's set out and now To.
Speaker 4: Tumball we're going to talk To. Mike, Hey, mike, welcome to. Guardline,
Speaker 4: hey good, morning.
Speaker 8: Skiff i've got an oleander THAT'S i guess it got
Speaker 8: frozen in this last, winter And i'm just wondering DO
Speaker 8: i need to cut that back or is it it's
Speaker 8: got brown, Leaves but if you scratch on the, stems
Speaker 8: you know it's green, underneath so will it re?
Speaker 4: Bloom so you, know sometimes the lander gets killed pretty
Speaker 4: much all the way. Back you cut it off at
Speaker 4: the ground and it typically will come. Back sometimes the
Speaker 4: killing back is kind of, erratic and you end up
Speaker 4: with kind of A i don't, know an, awkward lopsided looking.
Speaker 4: Plant there's nothing wrong with cutting it all the way
Speaker 4: back to the ground and getting fresh right back. Out
Speaker 4: it'll it'll reach sprout from the base and come back in.
Speaker 4: Fresh you can do that if you want to wait
Speaker 4: and see and look at where the leaves now start
Speaker 4: forming and cut it back to. There that's another legit.
Speaker 4: Option but LIKE i, said sometimes you're left, with you,
Speaker 4: know maybe a stem has been partially freeze damage and
Speaker 4: has a crack in, it but it's still sprouting up
Speaker 4: two or three feet off the, ground and you kind
Speaker 4: of end up with an awkward looking plant sometimes that,
Speaker 4: way but those are your two.
Speaker 8: Options, Okay so IF i just leave it alone and
Speaker 8: don't cut it back at, all will it still red
Speaker 8: bloom and uh where then are? Now?
Speaker 4: Okay, yes either, way either way it'll bloomleand oleanders bloom
Speaker 4: on new, wood meaning current season's. Growth they're Like vitex
Speaker 4: in that. Way so if you cut those off to the,
Speaker 4: ground they'll come back and bloom that same. Year, yeah
Speaker 4: they have the ability to do.
Speaker 8: That, Okay, okay, great, alrighty thank you very.
Speaker 4: Much all, Right, mike you bet you take. Care thank
Speaker 4: you for the.

Speaker 4: it and be like. New that's an idea for. You
Speaker 4: we were talking about fertilizing in the lawns and. Things
Speaker 4: As amite is the trace mineral supplement you hear me
Speaker 4: talk about On guardline all the. Time and asumite is
Speaker 4: those trace. Minerals and what that basically means is you
Speaker 4: don't need a lot of, them but they're. Essential you
Speaker 4: have to have, them but you don't need, much. Okay
Speaker 4: and so when you put down, asmite you are building
Speaker 4: the bank account in the. Soil you're building the bank.
Speaker 4: Account so you can put on asmite when you. Fertilize
Speaker 4: you can fertilize and then come back fill the hopper
Speaker 4: with asumite and go do the asmite on. There or
Speaker 4: you can do asmite anytime of the. Year it doesn't
Speaker 4: have to be tied to a fertilization. Season so if
Speaker 4: it's most convenient for you to buy, fertilizer buy, asumite
Speaker 4: and to put them both out on a whatever, morning
Speaker 4: you're going to get out there and do.
Speaker 12: It do.

Speaker 4: can do it and just you can get a soil
Speaker 4: sample done to see exactly your nutrient content and what you.
Speaker 4: Need if you don't have, that just once or twice a,

Speaker 3: Line, hi good.
Speaker 18: Morning my question is about. HIBISCUS i just bought a
Speaker 18: tree shaped hibiscus AND i want to know IF i
Speaker 18: can keep it in a pot or if it would
Speaker 18: do better IF i planted it the.
Speaker 4: Soil you can do either. One the advantage of putting
Speaker 4: it in a container is that when we get that cold,
Speaker 4: weather you can slide a little dolly or under, it
Speaker 4: put a strap around, it and very easily move that
Speaker 4: heavy container into the garage or some other protected spot
Speaker 4: in the. Soil it does just. Fine you provided a
Speaker 4: good quality soil mix and take care of, it and
Speaker 4: it's going to do really. Good but then you're going
Speaker 4: to need to figure out you either get your two
Speaker 4: options in the. Winter either you just let cold kill
Speaker 4: it and get your new one next, year or you're
Speaker 4: going to find some way to protect, it which can
Speaker 4: involve a little bit of work to protect a hibiscus
Speaker 4: during hard core. Freezes, okay, well thank you very. Much
Speaker 4: well good when it, blooms send us a picture of.
Speaker 4: It love to see.
Speaker 8: That they're.
Speaker 4: GORGEOUS i love those. Plants thank, You bye, bye all,

Speaker 4: growing and about six weeks after you do The imperial
Speaker 4: you can begin to do your summer long term fertilization
Speaker 4: that'll carry you all the way to. Fall the second
Speaker 4: one for, now a quick grein Up imperial is an
Speaker 4: excellent choice at that fifteen to five to, ten which
Speaker 4: is a three one two ratio of, nutrients lots of,
Speaker 4: nitrogen not much, phosphorus medium amount of. Potassium it fits
Speaker 4: so many lawns in our. Area it is so typical
Speaker 4: of the kind of fertilizer that we're going to need
Speaker 4: in terms of nutrient. Ratios and it was designed for
Speaker 4: that by research on turf At texas and m and
Speaker 4: other universities throughout The. South now you're going to find

Speaker 4: Works let's set out now To dickenson and we're gonna
Speaker 4: talk To. Dale, Hey, dale good, morning and welcome to Garden.
Speaker 1: Line, well good morning to, you and thank you for
Speaker 1: taking my. CALL i appreciate.
Speaker 14: It.
Speaker 1: IS i have a thornless lime tree in a, pot
Speaker 1: a large. POT i put it in the garage under
Speaker 1: a groad light in the you, know during the, winter
Speaker 1: the cold, weather and then when it warms, UP i
Speaker 1: bring it. Outside but now for two years, running WHEN
Speaker 1: i put it outside in instead of the leaves being
Speaker 1: really dark green and having the white flowers on, it
Speaker 1: it starts to turn. Yellow the leaves start to turn.
Speaker 1: Yellow AND i don't understand why that.
Speaker 4: Happens is The is it the older leaves that are
Speaker 4: turning yellow further down the, branch or is it the
Speaker 4: new growth out toward the end that's turning.
Speaker 1: Yellow, well it seems like it's a good.
Speaker 4: Question. Huh, actually, Okay, well new growth tends to come
Speaker 4: out less green more chartruse than deep almal. Green that's just,
Speaker 4: typical et. Cetera when the older growth turns, yellow it
Speaker 4: could be that the trees just putting on a lot
Speaker 4: of new growth and some of the older leaves are going.
Speaker 4: Away it could be due to a water, issue and
Speaker 4: that's usually the cause of older leaves turning. Yellow it's too,
Speaker 4: dry too. Wet you, know suddenly the plant is out
Speaker 4: there trying to, grow it's, growing it's warming, up and
Speaker 4: you know the soule moisture may not be. Enough some
Speaker 4: some extreme of soul moisture is a. Possibility you ought
Speaker 4: to be able to fertilize, it, though and everything gets
Speaker 4: to look and good. Again and SO i would get
Speaker 4: a good Quality centrius. Fertilizer the folks At nelson have
Speaker 4: a very good fruit tree fertilizer and a little, jar
Speaker 4: so it's real suitable for fertilizing a few. Trees AND
Speaker 4: i would use that on them and see if we
Speaker 4: can get that bouncing. Back if the only other THING
Speaker 4: i can tell, You dale is maybe send me a
Speaker 4: picture of it WHERE i can see exactly what yellow
Speaker 4: looks like and where the yellow is and. Things there
Speaker 4: may be a variation on the answer THAT i would
Speaker 4: give you as after seeing. It but in, GENERAL i
Speaker 4: THINK i think we're going to talk about just a.
Speaker 4: Transition it's probably a sole moisture. Issue BUT i would fertilize,
Speaker 4: it make sure the soil is adequately moist and it
Speaker 4: should be good to. Go it should grow out of.
Speaker 1: That, okay but you, know, okay my original original thought,
Speaker 1: was when't it when it's in the, garage it's. BEAUTIFUL i,
Speaker 1: mean the leaves are dark. Green i'm sure it's shooting the.
Speaker 1: Leaves it's got those little white i'll call them flowers on,
Speaker 1: it AND i mean it's just. Beautiful, yeah and there's this.
Speaker 4: Change so, yeah well you're making a big. Picture, yeah
Speaker 4: you're making a big change on it because you're moving
Speaker 4: it from a very low light environment to a brighter light.
Speaker 4: Environment and a lot of times plants in low light
Speaker 4: will turn greener because they're making more chlorophyll molecules to
Speaker 4: try to capture the low light that they. HAVE i,
Speaker 4: know are those orchids you see in the grocery. Store
Speaker 4: they will do. That you put them in a low
Speaker 4: light and suddenly the plant's. Greener but it's because it's
Speaker 4: trying to capture more of the little bit of limited
Speaker 4: light that it, has so that that is a plant
Speaker 4: function and that may be part of what you're. Seeing all, Right, Dale,
Speaker 4: okay all, right all, right thank. YOU i appreciate, you
Speaker 4: BUT i appreciate that. Call. Helen we're going to come

Speaker 4: make your weeding chores a lot easier as we go
Speaker 4: on into the. Season if you would like to ask
Speaker 4: a question here on Garden, line all you gotta do
Speaker 4: is punch in these numbers seven one three two one
Speaker 4: two k T r. Eighths those aren't numbers seven one
Speaker 4: three two one two fifty eight seventy. Four there you,
Speaker 4: go there's. Numbers had a lady one time fuss at
Speaker 4: me BECAUSE i don't always give out the. Numbers all,
Speaker 4: right well there you got your. Numbers there we. Go
Speaker 4: the Late Jerry Lee lewis all, right we're rocketing line
Speaker 4: on Guarden. Line we're gonna head straight out to the
Speaker 4: phones now and go to talk To. Bill, bill welcome
Speaker 4: to Garden. Line good to have you with. Us what
Speaker 4: can how can we help? Today appreciate to?
Speaker 9: Call uh got scale on sego palm fronds and can't.
Speaker 4: Get rid of, okay all, Right uh that's a tough.
Speaker 4: One you could try a really oil. Spruy, yeah try
Speaker 4: an oil. Spray. Now the problem is sago palm fronds
Speaker 4: are stiff as a board and it and and they
Speaker 4: block the spray from getting to other parts of the,
Speaker 4: plant so you're gonna have to kind of have to
Speaker 4: hit it from other. Angles but the more you can
Speaker 4: completely coat the undersides of the, leaves especially that's where
Speaker 4: most of the scale, is the better off it'll. Be
Speaker 4: if it's really bad and you got some fronds turning,
Speaker 4: YELLOW i would just print them off and get that
Speaker 4: scale out of. There Uh and because it'll always put
Speaker 4: new fronds out high if you if you can get
Speaker 4: rid of them some that way and then spray everything
Speaker 4: you can with a horticultural. Oil, again coverage is, critical
Speaker 4: getting it all in there that you. Can you can
Speaker 4: use a systemic. Insecticide i'm not sure how the effective
Speaker 4: they are on sego, scale but that would. Be another
Speaker 4: option is to drench the soil with a product containing
Speaker 4: a systemic insecticide like. Imidocloprid, okay but like name all
Speaker 4: nime as an oil would be. Helpful, okay you, could
Speaker 4: you could do, that but a horticultural oil is just
Speaker 4: a you, know a summer based oil as. Well either,
Speaker 4: way you just need a good thick oil to smother.
Speaker 4: Them and they have that, waxy flaky white coating that
Speaker 4: makes it hard to get an oil to. Them but
Speaker 4: if you can coat them with, oil they can't. Breathe
Speaker 4: they can't breathe and they. Die, YEAH i get it
Speaker 4: real bad at the basis of the. Fronds, Yes, yeah
Speaker 4: that's how it is because they're all in, there you,
Speaker 4: know on the trunk of the. Plant there's a thousand
Speaker 4: nooks and crannies to hide in in, there so it's
Speaker 4: hard to get rid of. Them but but that's WHAT
Speaker 4: i would. Do that's the approach on.
Speaker 18: It really really good with.
Speaker 4: Troll, yeah and be willing to do. It be willing
Speaker 4: to do it again a month, later you, know do
Speaker 4: it again and, uh and then if you want to
Speaker 4: try the, systemic it won't. Hurt as to how effective it'll,
Speaker 4: BE i can't tell. You but, uh anything that's sucking
Speaker 4: juices out of a plant a. Systemic when they suck
Speaker 4: the juices out of the, plant it keeps them they
Speaker 4: pick up that poison because it's in the plumbing of
Speaker 4: the sego in this.
Speaker 1: Case, okay what was that systemic?
Speaker 12: Again?
Speaker 4: Uh the ingredient is in meadow. Cloprid but if you
Speaker 4: look for the ingredient that begins WITH I M I
Speaker 4: D o in mid. Dough that's the only ingredient out
Speaker 4: there on the garden market that begins WITH i AM
Speaker 4: I D o in Meadow, okay and a good garden. Center,
Speaker 4: yeah good luck with. That, now take care all. Right
Speaker 4: the appreciate your.
Speaker 1: Help thank, you.

Speaker 4: south Of highway ninety six In League city two eight
Speaker 4: one three three two sixteen twelve to eight one three
Speaker 4: three two sixteen. Twelve let's go To Clear lake now
Speaker 4: and we're going to talk To. Kate, Hello, kate Welcome Reguard.
Speaker 6: Line good.
Speaker 10: Morning how are.
Speaker 4: You i'm doing, Well thank you.
Speaker 10: GOOD i just had a couple of QUESTIONS i just.
Speaker 10: Wondered number, ONE i pretty much lost a lot of
Speaker 10: plants in the in the, Freeze So i'm wondering what
Speaker 10: would be pet friendly and what would be basically trying
Speaker 10: to get rid OF i have SOMETIMES i have a
Speaker 10: lot of hornets, around So i'm trying to get something
Speaker 10: that you, know they don't like the smell that, thing
Speaker 10: and maybe the, Lemons BUT i was wondering what your
Speaker 10: opinion was on.
Speaker 7: That and also number.
Speaker 10: Two last week it was really really windy AND i
Speaker 10: seated my lawn AND i don't think it took very.
Speaker 10: Well you THINKS i could see it again or SHOULD
Speaker 10: i wait a couple months and try.
Speaker 4: Again, well when you seed turf number, one it has
Speaker 4: to be a type of seed that will survive. Here
Speaker 4: and there's a lot of turf seeds, sold especially by
Speaker 4: not our good independent, nurseries but other places that sell.
Speaker 4: Plans they'll sell you a seed that really belongs up
Speaker 4: north instead of down, Here so that's a. Possibility the
Speaker 4: critical thing on seed is getting it to sprout and
Speaker 4: stay moist the whole time until it establishes a good root.
Speaker 4: System because, ever if it starts to sprout and dries,
Speaker 4: out then you got a real problem, There and so
Speaker 4: that would be some possibilities as to what was going
Speaker 4: on with the. Seed in, GENERAL i recommend sodding rather than.
Speaker 4: Seeding or if you don't want to buy a whole,
Speaker 4: side then at least get a. Plugs you can buy
Speaker 4: a section of side and cut it and strips and
Speaker 4: plant those strips to make it go, further but a
Speaker 4: side is generally a better way to go about. It,
Speaker 4: now as far as as far as, uh let's, see
Speaker 4: you know plants and, things you are right next To
Speaker 4: Tamas nursery and so there you're not gonna you're not
Speaker 4: going to find a better a better place for a
Speaker 4: wide variety of. Plants and then when you go talk to,
Speaker 4: them they're going to be able to tell you about
Speaker 4: those like is this plant a toxic of? Dogs bite
Speaker 4: on the leaves and. Things they're going to be able
Speaker 4: to guide you through their the the pet safety on
Speaker 4: the plants that they.
Speaker 10: Sell, WELL i appreciate.

Speaker 4: is a perennial. Hibiscus some of them are native along
Speaker 4: The gulf. Coast The Gulf coast. States, uh there. Is
Speaker 4: they typically come in three colors or, variations, white, pink and.
Speaker 4: Red some of them have striped, leaves like like peppermint,

Speaker 4: but the blooms on those are bigger than tropical. Hibiscus
Speaker 4: they'll be as big as a dinner. Plate on a hardy,
Speaker 4: hibiscus they die to the ground and then the plant
Speaker 4: is a, perennial so it comes right back out in
Speaker 4: spring to do it all. Again you buy the plant,

Speaker 4: to talk To. Alex, Hey, alex welcome to the garden.
Speaker 19: Line, Hey, skip good to talk to you.
Speaker 12: AGAIN i have a.
Speaker 19: Question my wife loves four, o'clocks but they have basically
Speaker 19: invaded our entire. Flowerbed what CAN i use kill?
Speaker 4: Them so you have desirable plants around the flower the four, O'clocks, yes,
Speaker 4: sir ok, Okay so we're not going to just spray
Speaker 4: the four o'clocks because we'll kill good. Things so here's
Speaker 4: what YOU i would recommend you do if you go
Speaker 4: to my Website gardening With skip dot. COM i have
Speaker 4: a publication called Skipsweed wiper and it's a simple little
Speaker 4: thing you can build in ten. Minutes it has. Sponges
Speaker 4: when you, Build.
Speaker 1: I'll get the weed wipers.
Speaker 19: Which which herbicide to.
Speaker 4: Use two FOUR d products or triclope here T R
Speaker 4: i c L O p Y r one or both
Speaker 4: of those will work on getting down four o'clocks have
Speaker 4: a huge storage tuber. Underground. Uh you can dig them,
Speaker 4: up but you always miss a few, pieces as you've
Speaker 4: probably learned about.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 4: Uh but, uh if you wipe it on the, foliage
Speaker 4: it'll translocate down and you may have to redo it later.
Speaker 4: On but in, general that's the way to get rid of,
Speaker 4: them and you don't get any pest or any herbicide
Speaker 4: on any desirable plants by using my weed.
Speaker 19: Wiper and, then, right do you have a way, too
Speaker 19: because THEY i guess they sort of spill their seeds
Speaker 19: out and that's kind of how they they spread.
Speaker 4: Around, yes what do you recommend?
Speaker 19: To she really likes, Them so is there a way
Speaker 19: that we can keep?

Speaker 4: just from the flower, spade cut them, off don't let
Speaker 4: them gallop seed and spread the. Seed that's really what's
Speaker 4: in your. Control there's not another practical way to do.
Speaker 4: It if you had a good thick, mulch that would,
Speaker 4: help because those four o'clock seeds are pretty small and
Speaker 4: they got to have sunlight once they sprout to get,
Speaker 4: Going so a good thick mulch would. Help but they're.
Speaker 4: Persistent their wonderful, plant but they're. Persistent too much of

Speaker 4: Growth, well the river rocks shouldn't. BE i don't know
Speaker 4: what's going on with those pear. Trees when you prune,
Speaker 4: them the one thing they do most and best is

Speaker 4: reach for the. Sky. Right it's one of the difficult
Speaker 4: things about. Prunum SO i don't know if you prune a,
Speaker 4: pair why would WHY i would not be doing that

Speaker 1: Line good, Morning good.
Speaker 9: MORNING i just had a quick. QUESTION i planted Some
Speaker 9: Florida king.
Speaker 1: Peaches last.
Speaker 9: Year they did, well they, produced but this year there's
Speaker 9: lots of. Blooms the peaches are coming, on but no leaves.
Speaker 4: Hardly, Okay, well that is.
Speaker 8: That's.
Speaker 4: Unusual Florida king is a very low chill variety and
Speaker 4: that's why you know it bloomed. Out and if it
Speaker 4: bloomed and set fruit that ought to be followed by
Speaker 4: leaves in the, past has the tree been more normal.
Speaker 9: For, you, yes, yes, NOW i did fertilize them about
Speaker 9: three weeks to. Go and what's kind of crazy, too,
Speaker 9: though is my my pear Trees i've put out they're.
Speaker 9: Blooming i'm not bloom excuse. Me they have leaves all
Speaker 9: over the look, great.
Speaker 1: But, no, no no.
Speaker 9: Blues and So i'm just dealing with that.
Speaker 1: TOO i don't.
Speaker 4: Know, well that's a whole different. Thing they're. Pairs sometimes
Speaker 4: when they go through a stressful summer at the, end
Speaker 4: they'll do a late summer early fall bloom because of the.
Speaker 4: Stress and when they do, that that was the blooms
Speaker 4: that would have been their next. Spring so next spring
Speaker 4: you don't get blooms on a pair that can, happen
Speaker 4: or at least you don't get as many on, there
Speaker 4: but on the, peaches on the peaches. Themselves just give
Speaker 4: them a little more. Time if they came out and,
Speaker 4: bloomed then they should be. Fine we had enough chilling this,
Speaker 4: year definitely enough chilling For florida king super low chill.
Speaker 4: Variety SO i think your peaches are going to be.
Speaker 4: Okay just be a little more patient with, them and
Speaker 4: if you need any follow, up send me a. Picture
Speaker 4: we'll look at, it But i'd give them a few
Speaker 4: more weeks BEFORE i start getting.
Speaker 9: Concerned, Okay, Yes and the THING i want to ask,
Speaker 9: you at the very bottom of the peach, Trees i'm
Speaker 9: getting a lot of, growth.
Speaker 4: You, know like stems coming, up you, know like some of.
Speaker 8: Ours, yes all is two three foot?
Speaker 9: Tall SHOULD i?
Speaker 4: Go you cut those?
Speaker 13: Off?
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely and cut them as close to the trunk
Speaker 4: as you. Can try to almost gouge that out at
Speaker 4: the base because right around the base of those shoots
Speaker 4: are a million, buds and if you print them off
Speaker 4: and leave like an inch on, them you're just gonna
Speaker 4: have five more shoots that come up where you cut
Speaker 4: that one. Off so try to almost gouge them out
Speaker 4: in terms of just cutting that whole base where it swells,
Speaker 4: up where the branch attaches at the. Bottom get all
Speaker 4: of that out of, there and then when the minute
Speaker 4: of sprout starts to, grow just reach. Down you can
Speaker 4: rub a little tender scratching rub off with your. Finger but, anyway,

Speaker 4: you don't have a control far that can cause that to.
Speaker 4: Happen with some of the older types of. Blackberries the
Speaker 4: new ones generally are bread to not have the same
Speaker 4: prob with some of the diseases that the older ones.
Speaker 4: Do there's also something that is kind of a sunburn
Speaker 4: on a, berry where the sun can cause a berry
Speaker 4: to kind of it's almost like one of the drooplets
Speaker 4: on the individual little berries on the cluster sort of
Speaker 4: die and turn tan and sink. Down but it's going
Speaker 4: to be one or the. Other with a, PHOTO i
Speaker 4: could probably tell you the difference between the. Two the
Speaker 4: main thing is you're not gonna do anything about, it so,

Speaker 4: also pierce the skin of the little berries individual. Berries of,
Speaker 4: course they've got a little needlelike mouth part like a,
Speaker 4: mosquito and they put their mouth in there and they
Speaker 4: essentially inject something that kills that berry and it starts
Speaker 4: to do what you're describing, too so that could also

Speaker 4: earlier About microlife's green, bag the one we use most
Speaker 4: often for our. Lawns it's a six to two four
Speaker 4: And Microlife humates plus that is the purple. Bag it
Speaker 4: is concentrated compost in a. Bag that's the simplest way
Speaker 4: to put. It, basically here's what happens to organic. Materials
Speaker 4: they fall on the, ground they start to. Decay they
Speaker 4: become the equivalent of. Compost then they keep decay in
Speaker 4: they become, humus one of the final states of organic matter,
Speaker 4: decomposition and at that stage they are very helpful for
Speaker 4: building soil, structure for supporting microbial, activity and just for
Speaker 4: making a soil. Richer that's the final. Stage and humates
Speaker 4: plus is concentrated compost in a. Bag so you don't, go,
Speaker 4: well DO i fertilize or DO i use humates? Plus
Speaker 4: they're separate. Things you do the fertilization that's a green.
Speaker 4: Bag you do humates. Plus as you do that year by,
Speaker 4: year over, time you're making the soil better and better
Speaker 4: by adding that humus to the. Soil and the better
Speaker 4: your grass, grows the better it builds its soil. Too
Speaker 4: and so that combination of improved turf health by gradually
Speaker 4: fertilizing the way nature does creates that kind of lawn

Speaker 4: to the phones and talk To mario Or. Mariano excuse
Speaker 4: me in the. Woodlands, Hey, Mariano i'm doing. Good i'm doing.
Speaker 4: Good how can we help? Today?
Speaker 21: HEY i bought a couple of avocado trees and la
Speaker 21: and a, bacon AND i got him and the one
Speaker 21: of the fags says that we are not allowed to.
Speaker 21: Dry but THEN i keep reading other places that it
Speaker 21: says do not water unless it's you put it dry
Speaker 21: to the.
Speaker 8: Touch which one is?
Speaker 4: It, okay, well it's it's. Both, avocados like a lot of,
Speaker 4: plants they don't want to be, dry so if you
Speaker 4: don't water, enough they're going to suffer that drought. Damage
Speaker 4: and especially with a young plant getting, started that's significant
Speaker 4: because you need to get a good root system down
Speaker 4: so it can be a more, resilient drought tolerant, plant
Speaker 4: so early, on don't let them dry. Out at the same,
Speaker 4: time if you have so much water that the roots
Speaker 4: can't get oxygen they're drowning in, water then that is
Speaker 4: very deadly and you get root rots and other things that.
Speaker 4: Happen so yours are? Yours did you tell me they're in?
Speaker 4: Potstill or are you planted the?
Speaker 21: Beds we went from the three we wt in three
Speaker 21: gallum pots and now they're in five gallum.
Speaker 4: Pots, okay as long as you have good drainage holes
Speaker 4: and a decent soil in, there you're probably not going
Speaker 4: to overwater them because the excess water runs out the.
Speaker 4: Bottom SO i wouldn't worry as much about that as
Speaker 4: letting them get. Dry and a confined system like a
Speaker 4: container an avocado, tree as it starts heating, up they're
Speaker 4: gonna pump the water. Out you may be water in
Speaker 4: those five gallon pots twice a day by the time
Speaker 4: we get into, summer so, uh be extra careful on the, drought,
Speaker 4: yeah because it they pump a lot of, water you,
Speaker 4: know avocados get big and the lots of big old
Speaker 4: leaves out there pumping out. Water so, uh just take
Speaker 4: good care of. Them you're gonna put them in the,
Speaker 4: ground or you're gonna try to keep.
Speaker 21: THEM i Think i'm going to keep him in the
Speaker 21: pots of lists for our little quite, longer so that you,
Speaker 21: know if the freeze, COMES i can move him.
Speaker 4: Indoors, okay all, Right Well i'm hoping we're done with
Speaker 4: freezes for, now but we'll be back in them again next.
Speaker 8: Year so here you.
Speaker 4: Go all, right all, right, thanks thanks for the. CALL
Speaker 4: i appreciate that a. Lot you take. Care let's see,
Speaker 4: here where are we we? Are, gosh we're Getting we're
Speaker 4: gonna head on. Out let's go to a tuck To. Brandon, Hey,
Speaker 4: brendan welcome to garden.
Speaker 12: Line, hey thank.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 9: Hey the QUESTION i have is my wife is doing
Speaker 9: a bunch of cut flowers as well as some, vegetables
Speaker 9: and we're using landscape timbers for the raised beds and
Speaker 9: two by six is just you.
Speaker 1: Stuff that we.
Speaker 9: Had But i've got access to a bunch of old
Speaker 9: cross ties that are obviously.
Speaker 8: CREOSODED i guess whatever they dream with, now are they?
Speaker 1: Safe not?
Speaker 9: Safe but can you use those for those type of
Speaker 9: beds or does that? Chemical will it harm what she's?
Speaker 4: Doing you're talking about flowers and, things, Right, yes, yeah
Speaker 4: you can use. It you, know long ago they kind
Speaker 4: of went out of favor because number, one if the
Speaker 4: tie is a little on the fresh, side you sit
Speaker 4: down on and you get that creaso tar on your
Speaker 4: on your clothes and. Skin BUT i long ago had
Speaker 4: railroad tie beds THAT i grew things. In IF i
Speaker 4: were going edible, Vegetables i'm not saying it would hurt
Speaker 4: you to do, it BUT i would probably stay away from,
Speaker 4: it or put a plastic liner between the soil and the.
Speaker 4: TIES i haven't studied all the research on, it but
Speaker 4: the last TIME i, checked there is some leaking into
Speaker 4: the soil around the edges of those, ties and you'd
Speaker 4: like to avoid. That but it's not going to hurt the.
Speaker 4: Plants the plants will just grow roots elsewhere, Too and
Speaker 4: so your flowers and anything you grow in there is
Speaker 4: going to be, okay as far as a plant health
Speaker 4: it self is, concerned, okay.
Speaker 9: Okay, well AND i think that was her biggest concern
Speaker 9: is she's the soil that's she's built up over the last,
Speaker 9: year that sort of, thing that it may it may
Speaker 9: leap out and ruin those, things or that the flowers
Speaker 9: wouldn't grow, appropriately et.
Speaker 4: Cetera but so using those maybe just as.
Speaker 9: A safety, barrier just put a little.
Speaker 4: Plastic up between it and the, soil especially if you
Speaker 4: were going to grow something you're going to. Eat you,
Speaker 4: know that would just be a little extra precautionary. Measure
Speaker 4: but LIKE i, Said i've seen people grow and railroad
Speaker 4: tie beeds for years and it's not like the plants
Speaker 4: are dying in the beds are, growing and so it's
Speaker 4: not as big of a. Concern now we're we. Shifted
Speaker 4: we went to treated, lumber and the early treated lumber
Speaker 4: was especially, toxic and then they changed the treating chemicals
Speaker 4: and now the modern treated lumber as not as. Concern
Speaker 4: but people still have those concerns AND i just tell
Speaker 4: them we'll put a piece of plastic in there to
Speaker 4: keep the soil away from the timbers and then you
Speaker 4: know you're.
Speaker 1: Good, okay all, right thank you.

Speaker 4: i hear, IT i am fishing on The Copona Bay
Speaker 4: bridge in the middle of the night In, Rockport texas
Speaker 4: as a small. Child i'm. Serious i'm serious because we

Speaker 4: what your music preferences and tastes. Are let's do this
Speaker 4: let's go out To. Seabrook first thing here and we're
Speaker 4: going to go talk To. John, Hey, john welcome to Garden.
Speaker 1: Line thank.
Speaker 4: YOU i had a question last.
Speaker 15: Year my landscaper piled a mulch up against my palm,
Speaker 15: tree And i've read since then that it's bad for
Speaker 15: the palm, tree SO i pulled it. Back What i'm
Speaker 15: finding is a bunch of little roots coming out of
Speaker 15: the trunk of the palm. Tree and my question is
Speaker 15: recover that or SHOULD i trim those little roots? Off
Speaker 15: but how SHOULD i handle?
Speaker 4: This, yeah you don't need to worry about. It get
Speaker 4: the mulch away from. There it's not doing it any.
Speaker 4: Good and palm trees do that at the. Base if
Speaker 4: you keep them a little, wet they'll or pile up some.
Speaker 4: Stuff they'll start sending roots out into them because basically
Speaker 4: palm is a grass. Plant it really. Is even though
Speaker 4: we say, tree it's just it's only a tree because
Speaker 4: it gets big to, us, Right but it's a type
Speaker 4: of grass, plant and so they will form those roots
Speaker 4: at the, base just like corn stalks at the base
Speaker 4: will send roots out like. That corn is of grass,
Speaker 4: Too so you don't need to cut them. Off you
Speaker 4: can just ignore. Them and now that you've seen, it
Speaker 4: as you go around town and, stuff look at the
Speaker 4: base of palms and you'll often see those little root
Speaker 4: initial that's what they're, called little stubby roots coming out
Speaker 4: near the, base down low on the. Trunk it's a natural,
Speaker 4: thing nothing to worry.
Speaker 1: About, okay thank you very, much.
Speaker 4: You bet take. Care thanks for the. Call appreciate. That
Speaker 4: good to visit with you all right. Here, yeah that
Speaker 4: is interesting. Thing, yeah people don't think about that is
Speaker 4: a palm tree is a grass. Plant that basically is
Speaker 4: what it. Is it's not a broad leaf it's not
Speaker 4: a broad leaf. Plant it's a grass type. Plant and
Speaker 4: unusual things happened from time to. TIME i was talking
Speaker 4: to the folks yesterday at The Cipher home And Garden,
Speaker 4: show which was, wonderful by the. Way they did a
Speaker 4: great job up, there and we were talking about the
Speaker 4: fact that you, know you, know you think you've seen it,
Speaker 4: all and the MINUTE i tell you on garden, line
Speaker 4: now you can't grow A i don't, know blue spruce
Speaker 4: tree here In. Houston somebody's going to call in and
Speaker 4: GO i got one waggen tell you it's suffering it's
Speaker 4: ugly and it's probably not going to make, it but,
Speaker 4: okay you got. One but plants can't, read and that
Speaker 4: that is unfortunate because you can read things in books
Speaker 4: that say things about, plants and the plants can't, read
Speaker 4: so they don't know. That they don't. Know they can't grow.
Speaker 4: Here and no matter what it, is we gardeners are
Speaker 4: going to find a way to stretch the zone and
Speaker 4: make it. Happy you, know, Well i've got a neighbor
Speaker 4: across the street that has a huge greenhouse and he
Speaker 4: has mango trees growing in the greenhouse and other. Tropicals that's. Right,
Speaker 4: yeah you can't grow mango trees like that. Here yeah
Speaker 4: you can if you go to some great links to do.
Speaker 4: It what a, Fun what a fun. Hobby let's go
Speaker 4: to spring and talk To. Deborah, Hey, deborah welcome to Garden. Line.
Speaker 7: Hi, HI.
Speaker 4: I can help you to find.
Speaker 5: Out, OH i just wanted to find out if the
Speaker 5: message weed killer will kill babs in a flower.
Speaker 4: Garden Uh, no generally. Not the nuts edge product that
Speaker 4: you need to use contains halo sulfur. On halo sulfur
Speaker 4: on and that product is labeled for use in the.
Speaker 4: Lawns it's not labeled for use in flower. Gardens but
Speaker 4: to my, KNOWLEDGE i don't know that bulbs are one
Speaker 4: of the products or one of the plants that it can.
Speaker 4: Kill SO i guess What i'm telling you Is i'm
Speaker 4: giving you two different answers at the same. Time one,
Speaker 4: IS i don't think it'll hurt, Them but number two
Speaker 4: is you're not allowed to use it in flower. Beds
Speaker 4: so if you use, it you're taking the risk yourself
Speaker 4: to do. That you know What i'm. Saying, yes, Yeah
Speaker 4: so no company is going to say use Our no
Speaker 4: company is going to say use our product in a
Speaker 4: non labeled. Way they would never do. That so if
Speaker 4: you call them and, said, hey a product kill my they, go,
Speaker 4: well you shouldn't have used it in the flower. Bed
Speaker 4: that's what's going.
Speaker 7: To, happen all, Right, okay so just take my.
Speaker 4: Chances, YEAH i would try it on just a little
Speaker 4: bit and, see maybe get it on a little one,
Speaker 4: bulb leave for, something and see if you see any
Speaker 4: problems with it before you do the whole. Thing that
Speaker 4: would be. Smart But i'm Not, AGAIN i want to be,
Speaker 4: Clear i'm not recommending non labeled uses because that's outside
Speaker 4: the label and the. Law what was your other? Question?
Speaker 1: Question you bet.
Speaker 5: We out here we have this really insidious weed that
Speaker 5: you can pull it all you, want but it produces
Speaker 5: ten million, speeds so you're never getting rid of. It
Speaker 5: and SO i bought training AND i, thought, Well i'll
Speaker 5: just mix it with the weed Speed. AGAIN i just
Speaker 5: read on the label that it's not for usage, Lawn so.
Speaker 7: CAN i use it the?
Speaker 13: Lawn?
Speaker 4: Now prene is labeled for flower, beds AND i want
Speaker 4: to Say prene is tref land or it may be pendum.
Speaker 4: Ethylene but, Anyway i'll uh let, Me i'll hunt it,
Speaker 4: down and, no you can't use it in the. Lawn.
Speaker 4: Uh you know, What to really help, YOU i need
Speaker 4: to see that weed because what the way you described
Speaker 4: it is that it produces lots of seeds pretty much
Speaker 4: describes about eight hundred weeds that we could have in
Speaker 4: our lawn. Here so if you can show me a
Speaker 4: picture of, it THEN i would be happy, to you,
Speaker 4: know determine which weed it is and tell you how
Speaker 4: to go about controlling, it the best way to go
Speaker 4: about controlling.
Speaker 8: It, Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: So just, yeah take some pictures of. It make sure
Speaker 4: if you need. To it may be helpful to pull
Speaker 4: some of the weeds up and bring them inside and
Speaker 4: set them on a dark tabletop and take some good
Speaker 4: close up pictures and really sharp. Focus by the, way
Speaker 4: prene is trifloraln and that you can use. It you
Speaker 4: can't use a product not labeled in an area that
Speaker 4: is not labeled. In but, anyway send me a. Picture
Speaker 4: of what we'll do is we'll talk about is there
Speaker 4: a pre emergent way to control? It is there a
Speaker 4: post emergent way to control? It but, remember on all,
Speaker 4: weeds the denture your, lawn the fewer problems you. Have
Speaker 4: so your number one goal this, year before we even
Speaker 4: talk about, herbicides is to, mow water and fertilize and
Speaker 4: get that lawn nice and dense and beautiful and choke
Speaker 4: out most of the weed.
Speaker 8: Problems, Right but.
Speaker 5: This one grows up on top of the, grass so
Speaker 5: it's just, Okay.
Speaker 4: Well there are weeds that can coexist in a Dense
Speaker 4: Saint augustine, lawn that's for. Sure, okay all, Right i'm
Speaker 4: Gonna i'm gonna put you on hold right, Now, deborah

Speaker 10: Morning do you have a suggestion for getting rid of
Speaker 10: black city mold on a?
Speaker 5: CRATE i, MEAN i know what caused.
Speaker 4: You, yeah to get rid of, it you can spray
Speaker 4: kind of a soapy water solution on, there let it
Speaker 4: set a, while and because it's, grown it's growing on
Speaker 4: a kind of a, hardened dried sugary, substance sticky sugary,
Speaker 4: substance and so let it sit for a while and
Speaker 4: then blast it off with a strong stream of. Water
Speaker 4: it's not a night and day difference, effect but that's
Speaker 4: the best thing you can. Do some people will even
Speaker 4: take a, brush a real soft brush with soapy water
Speaker 4: in a bucket and just kind of rub it on
Speaker 4: the trunk and branches and, things and you can wash
Speaker 4: it off kind of that way. Too it's, tedious but,
Speaker 4: uh that's that's the best to get rid of the
Speaker 4: black once it's already gotten on the.
Speaker 1: Tree would a solution of chlorox hurt the?
Speaker 4: Tree it, could especially the green growing. Parts, yeah got?
Speaker 3: It, okay thank?
