Speaker 1: Let's do a gardening show this morning. How about it.
Speaker 1: Congratulations everybody that's got both eyes open, hopefully a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee or something helping you get the other one open,
Speaker 1: if you just got one that most open. I started
Speaker 1: off that way this morning. It took a while. It
Speaker 1: took a while, that is for sure. But anyway, welcome
Speaker 1: to garden Line. We are looking forward to visiting with
Speaker 1: you about the things that you are most interested in.
Speaker 1: What kind of questions do you have about gardening? We'll
Speaker 1: be happy to answer those. Someone was asking me the
Speaker 1: other day about a potting mix, and they were talking
Speaker 1: about potting up some stuff and ask me, you know,
Speaker 1: what would you what would you suggest? And you know,
Speaker 1: there's good mixes out there, but the one that I
Speaker 1: basically think is the one to grab is going to
Speaker 1: be a Jungle Land by Nitrofoss. And I find that
Speaker 1: that potting mix, the way that it drains internally, but
Speaker 1: also way it holds onto moisture. That combination is what
Speaker 1: that's the key to a successful mix. And this one
Speaker 1: has it. It's a blend of Canadian blonde peat. It
Speaker 1: also has four different sources of organic decomposed aged bark
Speaker 1: in it and the microrhizal fungi that work with a
Speaker 1: plant route. So that combination right there pretty well does it.
Speaker 1: Now they got their outdoor jungle End flour and vegetable
Speaker 1: planting soil, and then for indoors they have the jungle
Speaker 1: End water saver that has the crystals that whole extra water,
Speaker 1: so not that the roots are soggy, but that when
Speaker 1: the mix gets dry, those crystals don't dry out as
Speaker 1: fast and so the plant can still get a little
Speaker 1: bit of water and that ends up working really really well.
Speaker 1: You're going to find nitrofoss products in Brenham if you're
Speaker 1: out there. Plants and things on Highway three sixty five,
Speaker 1: M and D and clear Lake on Bay Area Boulevard,
Speaker 1: and M and D on Beamer Sagemont Area they have
Speaker 1: them there as well. Lots of places you can find
Speaker 1: nitrofoss products here in the community. My favorite thing to
Speaker 1: do really any day of the week, but especially like
Speaker 1: on a Sunday afternoon or or even a Saturday, is
Speaker 1: to get out and visit some garden centers. I did
Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit of that yesterday. By
Speaker 1: the way, I was at Jorges Hidden gardens down in
Speaker 1: Alvin yesterday and boy, thanks to everybody that came out.
Speaker 1: You guys, you go, you guys want me out on questions,
Speaker 1: That's for sure. I would by the time I answered one,
Speaker 1: here comes another one and gave away a lot of
Speaker 1: good products and got to see Horay's place again. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just it's great, it really is.
Speaker 1: He has a selection of fruit trees that is perfectly
Speaker 1: designed for that area. You know, if you want to
Speaker 1: get a peach tree, you don't want a high show
Speaker 1: peach when you live south of Houston, for sure. And
Speaker 1: then so what you're gonna want to do is get
Speaker 1: one that is suited your area, so it blooms at
Speaker 1: the right time, doesn't bloom too early, it doesn't never
Speaker 1: come out of winter like high hilwood down there. He's
Speaker 1: got the he's got things like avocados. We're looking at
Speaker 1: his avocados and then his blueberries and just lots of fruit, apples, pears,
Speaker 1: you name it. His trees in the back are really
Speaker 1: in beautiful shape. I think that that is one of
Speaker 1: the strong points really because he has such an excellent
Speaker 1: selection and they will come out and plant them for you.
Speaker 1: If you need him too, they can. There's a cost
Speaker 1: to that, but they can come out and plant them
Speaker 1: for you, which makes it easy. Because you're talking about
Speaker 1: something that's got thirty gallons of soil. It's a little
Speaker 1: hard to pick up. So why don't you check him out.
Speaker 1: I love going to jorgeshid and Gardens, and I just
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it yesterday. That was good. So when I'm anyway,
Speaker 1: when I'm out and about visiting garden centers and things,
Speaker 1: I find that there's always something I haven't seen before,
Speaker 1: something that I haven't tried before, or something like that.
Speaker 1: And when you see new plants, it just gives you
Speaker 1: an opportunity need to try out something new. And I
Speaker 1: know that tried and true plants are the dependables. We
Speaker 1: want to do that like our plants celebrity tomatoes because
Speaker 1: that's an old standard, that is our great tomato. But
Speaker 1: I always try something new because who knows, maybe you
Speaker 1: find a new favorite. That's true as it comes to flowers,
Speaker 1: as the breeders work on things, we are finding we're
Speaker 1: getting more good heat tolerance in our flowers that works
Speaker 1: well down here. We are finding other options in terms
Speaker 1: of height. That's another important thing. Remember when all lantanas
Speaker 1: were waist high or bigger, and then we started to
Speaker 1: discover smaller and smaller ones. Now they have lantanas that
Speaker 1: are like a foot tall. They're very tiny, tiny ones.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm talking about. Try something new, go
Speaker 1: out and visit a garden center. That's how you find
Speaker 1: out about these things, because the breeders are out there
Speaker 1: creating them, and then the people that sell them to
Speaker 1: the garden centers are telling the garden centers about something
Speaker 1: cool and new and fun to get out in the garden.
Speaker 1: We want our vegetable gardens to be bountiful. We want
Speaker 1: our landscapes and flower beds to be beautiful. But I
Speaker 1: always throw the third thing in, and that is have
Speaker 1: fun in the process. Have fun. Gardening is supposed to
Speaker 1: be fun, and you can enjoy yourself a lot just
Speaker 1: by getting out and having fun in Jenet gardens. It
Speaker 1: is a great place to get out and have fun.
Speaker 1: In fact, they'd be a good spot to visit this afternoon.
Speaker 1: They are out in the Richmond Rosenberg area, just north
Speaker 1: of Richmond Rosenberg toward Katie and Fulscher. The actual road
Speaker 1: that they're on is FM three point fifty nine and
Speaker 1: in Jenet Gardens is one of those places where you
Speaker 1: want to take friends when you go. And I always
Speaker 1: suggest that because it's kind of fun to walk around
Speaker 1: with your friends and see and do things. And when
Speaker 1: you go there, you're going to see just this huge expanse.
Speaker 1: It's going to take a while to get around. This
Speaker 1: selection of tomatoes is outstanding right now. On peppers and
Speaker 1: other vegetable plants. Of course, the color is it just
Speaker 1: pops everywhere you look. And when it comes to shrubs
Speaker 1: and trees, whether it's a rose bush or a shrub
Speaker 1: for a hedge, or a nice tree for your landscape,
Speaker 1: they've got them all there. I like to go visit
Speaker 1: some of the whimsical things they have, like the fountains,
Speaker 1: the chimes, the whimsical garden art. I think those are cool,
Speaker 1: but like you would expect from a quality home, mom
Speaker 1: and pop independent. Those are all the adjectives for it.
Speaker 1: Garden center, you're going to get expert advice, people that
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. You come in, you bring
Speaker 1: them a photo, You say, hey, look at this area.
Speaker 1: What would grow in that shady spot over there in
Speaker 1: the photo, Or you're looking at a problem that you're
Speaker 1: having with a plant, even if it's a plant you
Speaker 1: didn't buy their show it to them. They'll help you
Speaker 1: with it, and they'll put you in touch with plants
Speaker 1: they may not get that problem that are that are
Speaker 1: very resistant, and that just her good choices. They carry
Speaker 1: fertilizers like nitrofoss and Nelson and Medina. They carry Nature's
Speaker 1: Way and heirloom soil as well. So bottom line is,
Speaker 1: enjoy yourself out there, have a good time, and I
Speaker 1: promise you will at Enchented Gardens. They're open today from
Speaker 1: ten to four pm Monday through Saturday eight to five.
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a little break and I will
Speaker 1: be right back. Well, good morning, welcome back to garden Line.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Skip Richter. It is good to have
Speaker 1: you with us this morning. And I wanted to mention, well,
Speaker 1: i've while i'm thinking about it, that next week. Yesterday
Speaker 1: I was out at forges Head and Gardens in Alvin.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you haven't been there, you need
Speaker 1: to go. Next week. I'm going to head up to
Speaker 1: Porter to Jay and are Ace and Porter, so all
Speaker 1: of you get folks up fifty nine up that direction
Speaker 1: fifty nine sixty nine, both of them up there. Hey,
Speaker 1: jyn our Ace is one of those Ace hardware stores
Speaker 1: where you're going to find everything you're looking for. I mean,
Speaker 1: it really is a good store that the the supple
Speaker 1: lies for your gardening are just exactly what you would
Speaker 1: expect from an Ace hardware store. And that means they
Speaker 1: got everything you need. And j and our Ace, I'll
Speaker 1: be there from twelve noon to two pm. So come
Speaker 1: on over and see me again. Those of you Kingwood
Speaker 1: area all through that area really a porter for sure.
Speaker 1: I'll be there from twelve to two and we're going
Speaker 1: to be you know what, I believe it's twelve thirty.
Speaker 1: Let me check that I have an old piece of
Speaker 1: paper and it has twelve and I think they change
Speaker 1: that one. I'll let you know in a little bit here. Anyway,
Speaker 1: come on out and see me. So in the yard,
Speaker 1: my grass is showing the signs of all the winter freezes,
Speaker 1: you know that kind of turned it gray or tan,
Speaker 1: and it needs to be mowed down, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do that. I just I always wait a little bit
Speaker 1: to mow until the grass is really ready to grow
Speaker 1: some And the reason is when you mow and cut
Speaker 1: down lower with that first mowing. People use the term scalping.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. That's a term used especially with
Speaker 1: bermuda grass and other things. But don't scalp. Don't scalp
Speaker 1: means like you cut it all off at the base
Speaker 1: and instead cut it at a little bit lower height
Speaker 1: than normal. Then you're gonna be using in the summer,
Speaker 1: and just get the debris out of there. That's the
Speaker 1: one time. And I probably don't recycle the clippings unless
Speaker 1: you just you know, don't have much to cut back,
Speaker 1: then go ahead and do it. But when you get
Speaker 1: those clippings, use them in your landscape. They make good
Speaker 1: especially as they're dried. They make a good mult around
Speaker 1: beds and things in the shrub beds and other things.
Speaker 1: Just take advantage of them because they have nutrients in them,
Speaker 1: and so don't pay somebody to haul that off your property. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I have to get mine cut back, and I've got
Speaker 1: to get a couple of other things done. I'm getting
Speaker 1: ready for my big fertilization season coming up this summer.
Speaker 1: And if you go to if you go on line
Speaker 1: to my website gardening with Skip dot com, when you
Speaker 1: get there, there's right in the middle of the menu
Speaker 1: bar it says lawn schedules, and you can look at
Speaker 1: the lawn care schedule or the lawn pests, disease and
Speaker 1: weed management schedule, and both of those are very helpful.
Speaker 1: I've designed them hopefully to be easy to follow because
Speaker 1: they're color coded. Like I'm looking at the lawn schedule
Speaker 1: right now, and it has a row for fertilizing with
Speaker 1: synthetic fertilizers and a row for fertilizing with organic fertilizers.
Speaker 1: And then you look at the colors of those rows
Speaker 1: and go to the bottom and you can see some
Speaker 1: suggestions from me as to good examples of the fertilizers
Speaker 1: to use for that ones that I would suggest you use.
Speaker 1: There's also information on air rating on there and mowing
Speaker 1: and watering. He's thinking, I don't need to be told
Speaker 1: how to mow a lawn, Well, just read it see
Speaker 1: what you may pick up a tip or two on there.
Speaker 1: And then on the other side as the insect diseases
Speaker 1: and weeds. Right now, we are at the end of
Speaker 1: the season where we treat for a brown patch, and
Speaker 1: so I've been asked that two or three times lately.
Speaker 1: And I've just told people, I said, you know, at
Speaker 1: this point, the brown circles are going to green up
Speaker 1: real quick because it's going to warm up and the
Speaker 1: grass will grow back in. I would leave it. I
Speaker 1: don't like to put out any kind of a pest
Speaker 1: control of any type we'ed disease or insect when I
Speaker 1: don't have to. That's just I don't like to garden
Speaker 1: that way. So let's hold off on that one. There's
Speaker 1: good information on weed control, and we are at the
Speaker 1: end of the preferred season for weed control. Now you
Speaker 1: may think, okay, well, it's you know, I've missed the
Speaker 1: time when I should have put weed control down, so
Speaker 1: I can't do it now. And the entries, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can do it now. There's weeds that still will be
Speaker 1: germinating if you want to do that. It's just on
Speaker 1: the schedule I put the best time, because if I
Speaker 1: extended it all the way, let's say through March, some
Speaker 1: people would think, well, I can fertilize. I can do
Speaker 1: that in March. I don't have to do it in February. Well,
Speaker 1: if you waited until March, there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of weeds that have already germinated. You may control some
Speaker 1: going forward grassburg and germinate all summer, for example, and
Speaker 1: so can crab grass. But that's how that schedule works,
Speaker 1: and I hope you'll follow that. Take a look at it,
Speaker 1: print it out. Some people put it in the garage.
Speaker 1: You can take it with your shop and then point
Speaker 1: at the product you want when you go where you go.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's helpful. For example, a good place to go
Speaker 1: be D and D feed and Tomball west of Tombo
Speaker 1: actually on twenty nine to twenty. The Dover family opened
Speaker 1: D and D feed Back in nineteen eighty nine, and
Speaker 1: the place just gets better the recent expansion they did.
Speaker 1: I just opened the door for more product. And every
Speaker 1: time I go in there, I'm really impressed with the
Speaker 1: line of product that they carry. They have nitroposs, they
Speaker 1: have Nelson, they have heirloom soils for example in Microlife,
Speaker 1: Nelson's turf Star also products there. There's just some examples
Speaker 1: quality dog food too. I always take my dogs a
Speaker 1: treat when I go in there, to bring them home
Speaker 1: a treat. And if you need to control any kinds
Speaker 1: of rodents and things around the house, pool cleaners, I mean,
Speaker 1: all of that is there at D and D Feed,
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the garden section of controlling
Speaker 1: pest weeds and diseases, they have a very extensive selection
Speaker 1: and there's things that they'll carry that most places don't.
Speaker 1: D and D feed three miles west of Tomboll two
Speaker 1: eight one three five one seventy one forty four. Uh
Speaker 1: I was talking about, you know, preferences and how we
Speaker 1: garden in things. Something occurred to me a good while back,
Speaker 1: and I don't think I say this enough, but uh
Speaker 1: I do lectures on organic gardening, do trainings and stuff
Speaker 1: for master gardener groups and others, and one thing I
Speaker 1: always say at the beginning is if you are not
Speaker 1: an organic gardener, you should do everything organic gardeners do.
Speaker 1: And then if you're going to use your synthetic pestae side, okay,
Speaker 1: that's your option, that's your yard, how you're going to garden.
Speaker 1: But all the principles of organic gardening hold true for
Speaker 1: any kind of gardening. Take care of the soil, build
Speaker 1: the soil, improve the soil, enhance the microbial content, make
Speaker 1: sure there's oxygen done in the root system. Organic gardening
Speaker 1: began in the soil and that is still the heart
Speaker 1: of organic gardening. It's not just using organic products to
Speaker 1: kill bugs or kill diseases, in other words, organic pesticides.
Speaker 1: Microlife is designed around that concept. Over thirty five years now,
Speaker 1: gardeners and landscape professionals have recognized the value of microlife
Speaker 1: and every bag you buy of whether it is there
Speaker 1: six 't four the primary the product that we use
Speaker 1: for lawn fertilizing, or if it is humants plus, that
Speaker 1: is another one that's got the soil in mind when
Speaker 1: you put it out. And the humants plus is something
Speaker 1: you can put out any year, any time of year,
Speaker 1: as much as you want, because you're just adding more
Speaker 1: humus as you do that to the soil. It is
Speaker 1: a purple bag. And so I encourage you this spring
Speaker 1: as you're putting out your fertilizations consider adding a microlife
Speaker 1: humates plus to your mix. Both the fertilizers for microlife
Speaker 1: and certainly the humates plus and are going to just
Speaker 1: help with the soil. And that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: The soil. So As I said, whether you're an organic
Speaker 1: gardener or not, taking care of the soil is foundational
Speaker 1: to gardening. And I guess I'm a broken record. What
Speaker 1: do I always say brown stuff before green stuff. What
Speaker 1: does that mean? Get the foundation right, the foundations of soil.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I could just talk about that all
Speaker 1: day if you like. But I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's what you want me to do. But I
Speaker 1: will repeat it frequently because it is so so important.
Speaker 1: Don't PLoP a poor plant into an unprepared plot, or
Speaker 1: you will be disappointed. All right, Well, if you'd like
Speaker 1: to give me a call, seven one three two one
Speaker 1: two KTRH. Seven one three two one two KTRH. And
Speaker 1: I had somebody take me to task yesterday down at
Speaker 1: Jorges Uh, and she said, why don't you just give
Speaker 1: the number. I don't have to look around through the
Speaker 1: letters on the keypad, and some keep ads don't have letters.
Speaker 1: All right here it is seven one three two one
Speaker 1: two fifty eight seventy four. I'll give it both ways.
Speaker 1: I'll try to remember to give it both ways, fifty
Speaker 1: eight seventy four. Either way, you can give me a call,
Speaker 1: and we will talk about the things that are most
Speaker 1: of interest to you. I was driving Every time I
Speaker 1: go somewhere, I try to get off the beaten path
Speaker 1: and drive through neighborhoods. Drive through the countryside just to
Speaker 1: see things, you know, that aren't on the interstate, so
Speaker 1: to speak. And going through neighborhoods, I see things and
Speaker 1: I get ideas. You know, It's like, look how they
Speaker 1: did that. I had never thought about using that plant
Speaker 1: in that way or whatever. Well, a good landscape designer
Speaker 1: they know how to design, they know how to make
Speaker 1: it pretty and all that. I'm not a designer. I
Speaker 1: am a plant collector, and I suspect a lot of
Speaker 1: you are too. We go to garden centers, we see
Speaker 1: a plant, we like, we buy it, We take it home,
Speaker 1: and then figure out where we're going to put it.
Speaker 1: And so our gardens look like a bomb went off
Speaker 1: in a garden center. Our landscapes do bomb went off
Speaker 1: in a garden center, and where everything landed, it rooted
Speaker 1: and grew there. It's random. If you want to have
Speaker 1: a professionally done landscape, pierscapes can do that. I talk
Speaker 1: about them all the time. They're a preferred landscaper. Pure
Speaker 1: scapes can do pretty much anything you need out in
Speaker 1: the yard and landscape, things like hardscapes, walkways, stone walkways,
Speaker 1: landscape lighting, irrigation types, of work. By the way, they
Speaker 1: also have their quarterly maintenance. A quarterly maintenance. They come
Speaker 1: out every three months and they weed. They if they
Speaker 1: need to replace the flowers in the bed to make
Speaker 1: you know, we've changed seasons, we need some good fresh
Speaker 1: up in there, they can do that. They make sure
Speaker 1: the irrigation in the bed is working. They put a
Speaker 1: good layer of bulch down, make sure it's replenished and
Speaker 1: looking good. That's part of their maintenance program. But you
Speaker 1: can have them come out do a complete design for
Speaker 1: you whatever you want to do. Go to the website.
Speaker 1: Go to the website piercescapes dot com, piercescapes dot com,
Speaker 1: or give them a call two eight one three seven
Speaker 1: fifty sixty two eight one three seven oh five zero
Speaker 1: six zero. Go to that website perscapes dot com. You know,
Speaker 1: every time I go there, I look and I get
Speaker 1: ideas too for my yard because they make it look
Speaker 1: so beautiful. It's like, oh wow, I could do that
Speaker 1: in a patio. I hadn't thought about that kind of
Speaker 1: having that kind of a patio put in that's beautiful. Well,
Speaker 1: of course they're beautiful. They're professionals into what they're doing
Speaker 1: in the garden. I've got to do some cleaning out.
Speaker 1: This winter, I kind of cut back on a vegetable
Speaker 1: garden quite a bit, and it was just being busy
Speaker 1: and traveling a lot, and so I just didn't get
Speaker 1: around to doing a lot of things I'd like to do.
Speaker 1: But once I got out there and started, you know,
Speaker 1: preparing the soil and planting, slowly retaking my garden with
Speaker 1: things that are going to thrive, things that are going
Speaker 1: to do well. If you've got garden furniture that's looking
Speaker 1: rusty or bad, Houston Powder Coders is the place you
Speaker 1: need to go. There are in north central Houston and
Speaker 1: over one hundred plus colors that they offer, which is unbelievable,
Speaker 1: so pretty much any color you can imagine, and then some.
Speaker 1: They're near the intersection about Way eight and Hardy Told,
Speaker 1: But you don't have to go over there. They will
Speaker 1: come and pick up and deliver in the greater Houston area.
Speaker 1: If you will right down sales at Houstoncoders dot com
Speaker 1: and send them a picture of your furniture, they'll give
Speaker 1: you a quote, and they really do wonderful work. I'm
Speaker 1: going to take a break for the news and we'll
Speaker 1: be right back. Alrighty, we're back. Welcome back to garden line.
Speaker 1: You'd like to give me a call with a question
Speaker 1: this morning seven to one three two one two fifty
Speaker 1: eight seventy four or seven one three two on two
Speaker 1: kt r H. Give us a call. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the things you're interested in. It is getting close to
Speaker 1: that time when we're starting to do the big time
Speaker 1: fertilizing in the summer. We've had our little ends are
Speaker 1: still in actually the early greenup fertilizing period. If you
Speaker 1: want to do a little quick early greening up while
Speaker 1: the grass is still a little cool to be growing fast,
Speaker 1: you can get a nice greenup with an early green
Speaker 1: up product. Now you can also, uh, just hold on
Speaker 1: if you want to wait until later to fertilize and
Speaker 1: use a slow release. Either way you want to go,
Speaker 1: it's it's okay. Night Fuss has actually an organic product
Speaker 1: that is very interesting. It's different. It's made from a
Speaker 1: molasses space and from microbial activity, and it ends up
Speaker 1: being an eleven percent nitrogen fertilizer that has a wonderful
Speaker 1: sweet smell because it comes from you don't think about
Speaker 1: what molasses smells like. That's what it smells like it's
Speaker 1: really nice. You put it down, dissolves in, and all
Speaker 1: that sugary carbon that goes into the ground just gets
Speaker 1: the microbes excited, especially some of the good bacteria that
Speaker 1: we need around our root systems. They love carbon. Organic
Speaker 1: gardeners have been putting molasses in their beds and gardens
Speaker 1: and things for a long time. Sweet Green from nitrofoss
Speaker 1: is a It's available at a number of places such
Speaker 1: as Lake Hardware Inclute and Lake Hardware in Angleton. You

Speaker 1: home and out there to do. It last YEAR i
Speaker 1: went around the patio watering, containers and you, know, containers
Speaker 1: you gotta water more. OFTEN i think containers are one
Speaker 1: of the best things that you can do and a
Speaker 1: landscape for for versatile. Beauty you can move them, in
Speaker 1: move them, out keep keep them looking their, best but
Speaker 1: watering them is a. Chore So i'm gonna get a
Speaker 1: system and it'll be a line running along the ground
Speaker 1: beside the patio and then a little tube comes up
Speaker 1: and goes into the. Container you can also use drop
Speaker 1: down tubes from an arbor and just just find out
Speaker 1: about that wherever you would choose to buy your irrigation
Speaker 1: types of. Supplies drip. Irrigation it. WORKS i put it
Speaker 1: on the. FAUCET i put it on a timer on the,
Speaker 1: faucet AND i don't have to worry about. It if
Speaker 1: you want a water twice a, day and if you're
Speaker 1: going to go away for two, weeks it doesn't. Matter
Speaker 1: it waters your containers twice a, day and that if
Speaker 1: spending a little time and money to get that set
Speaker 1: up is well worth. It because don't tell anybody, this
Speaker 1: It's geena and. Me but last YEAR i forgot to
Speaker 1: water a couple of plants AND i killed. THEM i did,
Speaker 1: that or they got to the point WHERE i had
Speaker 1: to put them out of their. Misery but if you
Speaker 1: if you have an automatic, system you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about. That welcome. Back good to have you back
Speaker 1: here On Garden. Line we're talking. Gardening what do you
Speaker 1: need to be doing? Now what is important to get?
Speaker 2: Done?
Speaker 1: Now that's what we're focusing on. Today we're going to
Speaker 1: go out To cyprus and talk To. Henry, Well Hello,
Speaker 1: henry and welcome to Garden. Line, okay hang, on all,
Speaker 1: right here we. Go we're going to Get henry up.
Speaker 1: Here we got we Got?
Speaker 2: Henry?
Speaker 3: Yup do you have?
Speaker 4: Me?
Speaker 1: Yeah there we. Go all, Right, Henry sorry about. That
Speaker 1: welcome To Garden. Line how can we help?
Speaker 5: TODAY i have it's roughly a nineteen year Old bradford
Speaker 5: pair otis last year has fire.
Speaker 3: BLIGHT i want to know CAN i treat that?
Speaker 6: Myself or SHOULD i call an.
Speaker 1: Arborist, Well i'm glad you asked that, question because other
Speaker 1: people will have fire. Blight far blight will attack, Paracantha
Speaker 1: it'll attack, pairs and there's several members of that family
Speaker 1: that it can. Attack so you can treat it. Yourself
Speaker 1: there's a product THAT'S i think it's a streptomycin, sulfate
Speaker 1: which sounds like a human. Antibiotic it isn't. It it
Speaker 1: is an. Antibiotic it's a product and you spray it.
Speaker 1: On far blight is a, bacteria so you spray it
Speaker 1: on ahead of, time and then when the when the
Speaker 1: bacteria tries to you, know multiply and go into your.
Speaker 1: Plant it's there to stop. It it's strupt to mice and.
Speaker 1: Sulfate it's not sold in all. Places it's a little
Speaker 1: hard to, find But i'll. Try if there any nurses,
Speaker 1: listening try not to. Laugh s T R E p
Speaker 1: strip T O m y C I N i believe
Speaker 1: is how it's. Spelt, Anyway, okay most people don't do
Speaker 1: the spray root though on. Pairs chris first step is
Speaker 1: not all pairs are equally, susceptible so planting things that
Speaker 1: are a little. Resistant but when you already have a,
Speaker 1: tree you already have a, tree don't prune it a.
Speaker 1: Lot don't create a lot of succulent new. Growth rather
Speaker 1: than pruning a, pair just get a branch spreader and
Speaker 1: or a steak and cord and pull the branches in
Speaker 1: about a forty five degree angle outward and avoid that
Speaker 1: pruning and then avoid fertilizing pairs of. Nitrogen you just
Speaker 1: don't need to do. It and the more you make,
Speaker 1: it you, know grow fast and, stuff the worse the
Speaker 1: fire blight's going to. Be when you see, fireblight go
Speaker 1: go about six inches below where you see it and
Speaker 1: snip that. Out just cut that branch because it's dying.
Speaker 1: Already cut it, out and then spray your pruners with
Speaker 1: lysol between cuts so you don't spread bacteria to the
Speaker 1: next branch you're going to go prune. On those are
Speaker 1: those are the tips that are give you the best.
Speaker 1: Shot some, years it's just bad and all you can
Speaker 1: do is lessen it a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, okay we'll serve and follow that. Device thank you so.
Speaker 1: Much all, right Thanks, lacole appreciate. That, yeah fire, blight
Speaker 1: that is a common definitely a common issue that we
Speaker 1: have to deal with on our. Pairs, Here i'm gonna
Speaker 1: let's see, Here i'm trying to having trouble with shutting
Speaker 1: down the. CAR i may have to have my producer
Speaker 1: help me close the call down, Anyway airloom soils is
Speaker 1: a product that is first of, all it's first. CLASS

Speaker 1: get the. Idea they have a lot of, them a
Speaker 1: lot of different, options even one for cactus and. Succulents
Speaker 1: but the thing about them THAT i think is also
Speaker 1: good is they're. Everywhere it's easy to find heirloom. Soils
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to go to you, know
Speaker 1: typically a lot of ace hardware stores are going to have.

Speaker 1: lot of feed stores carry. That a lot of our
Speaker 1: garden centers carry it as. Well you can buy it
Speaker 1: by the bag now if you want a. Lot So
Speaker 1: i'll talk to someone the other day who is going
Speaker 1: to put in a, bed AND i just talked, about,
Speaker 1: well you can go get it by the qubic yard
Speaker 1: with your pickup or your. Trailer if you don't have
Speaker 1: one of, those you can have them deliver it to

Speaker 1: the coolest. Calculator it even tells, you like in a cubic,
Speaker 1: yard how many five gallon buckets of soil are? There
Speaker 1: or you see What i'm, Saying uh are you put
Speaker 1: in the width and length of your bed and the
Speaker 1: depth you want to make it and it figures it
Speaker 1: all out for. You you ought to check that. Out
Speaker 1: it's very helpful whatever you're trying to. USE i LOVE
Speaker 1: i love the PRODUCTS i was just using some the other.
Speaker 1: Day as a matter of, fact you're listening To. Guardline
Speaker 1: our phone number is seven one three two one two
Speaker 1: k T R h or seven one three two one
Speaker 1: two fifty eight seventy four those of you who like
Speaker 1: to punch in the numbers when you make a. Call
Speaker 1: another thing going on at this time of the year
Speaker 1: is taking care of those weeds that are winter, weeds
Speaker 1: but now they're growing like, crazy and they're blooming and
Speaker 1: they're setting. Seed the path that a blue bonnet seed
Speaker 1: takes on the roadside is the path the winter weeds
Speaker 1: in your lawn, take sprouting in the, fall sitting pretty
Speaker 1: much unnoticeable in the, winter very small, plants and then
Speaker 1: in spring they take off growing and here come the,
Speaker 1: blooms and then they fling the seeds. Everywhere you want
Speaker 1: to stop that last, step and if it means you've
Speaker 1: got a few weeks to squa out in, hand pull.
Speaker 1: Them it's not that difficult to. Do with the, soils
Speaker 1: moist and get them out of, there because one weed
Speaker 1: can produce hundreds of, seed literally it really. Can and
Speaker 1: so if you if you look at the ability of
Speaker 1: the weed to, reproduce choosing to not deal with it
Speaker 1: now means it's going to be harder next next. Fall
Speaker 1: you can use a pre emergent in the fall to stop.
Speaker 1: That we'll talk about that when the time, comes but
Speaker 1: getting them out of the garden is. Important you can
Speaker 1: use a post emergent product to attack. Them for, example
Speaker 1: you know the folks At nitrofoss create a product that
Speaker 1: is Called. Imperial it is a red and orange bag
Speaker 1: that's just fertilizer for early green. Utworks it just makes
Speaker 1: the nutrients right right then available to the. Plant but
Speaker 1: they also have a version of it that's in a
Speaker 1: bag with a trimec And trimec is a broad leaf weed.
Speaker 1: Killer you can use. That if you want to use,
Speaker 1: that you just have to have wet weed leaves in
Speaker 1: order for the product to stick to. Them but the
Speaker 1: later we, get the less well that a post emergent
Speaker 1: herbicide is going to work on. Weeds once they're, reproductive
Speaker 1: they've got, seed they've got you, know blooming and setting,
Speaker 1: seed it's less. Effective and that's where you go back
Speaker 1: to the hand. Pulling if you want to get it.
Speaker 1: Now if you got a yard full of, weeds when
Speaker 1: you set that mower down to do your first low
Speaker 1: mowing of the, season put a bag on it and
Speaker 1: catch the clippings and the weeds that were sticking their
Speaker 1: head up producing, seed and get as many as you
Speaker 1: can out of the. Place that is. Important, Okay so that,
Speaker 1: MOWING i don't know if, yeah there is one at
Speaker 1: a time When i'd recommend bagging, clippings and that's when
Speaker 1: you have gotten away and it's rained and rain and,
Speaker 1: rained and it is so the clippings are so long
Speaker 1: that you just can't mulch them. In that'd be a
Speaker 1: time for back but the. Weeds get those seeds out
Speaker 1: of the. Yard, now the number one weed control is
Speaker 1: not a. Product the number one weed control is a,
Speaker 1: dense healthy. Lawn that's where you. Start and if you start,
Speaker 1: there and you can follow my schedule online at gardening
Speaker 1: With skip dot, com which is, basically you mow, regularly
Speaker 1: you water with a good deep soaking on an infrequent,
Speaker 1: basis and you fertilize and keep that grass healthy and
Speaker 1: growing and. Dense when you do, that you're choking out most. Weeds,
Speaker 1: Now i'm not saying you never need a, herbicide because
Speaker 1: there are weeds that will live in the Densest Saint augustine.
Speaker 1: Lawn dollar weed will live in a Dense Saint augustine.
Speaker 1: Lawn virginia button weed will live in a Dense Saint augustine.
Speaker 1: Lawn but the majority of the weeds you're having to deal.
Speaker 1: With the weed seeds can't sprout when they're they're. Shaded
Speaker 1: if they try to sprout and they can't get enough
Speaker 1: sunlight for energy for that to come on, up pop
Speaker 1: through the grass and make a, weed it's very. Difficult
Speaker 1: so the number one we control is a, dense healthy.
Speaker 1: LAWN i hope that makes. SENSE i like that idea
Speaker 1: because we all want a, dense healthy. Lawn they're pretty
Speaker 1: that's that's the kind of things we want to. HAVE
Speaker 1: i want to remind you That i'm going to be
Speaker 1: At jay And Our Ace, Importer jay and Our Ace.
Speaker 1: IMPORTER i don't know if you've ever been, there but

Speaker 1: you can just you, know come on out and see.
Speaker 1: Me we'll talk about the things you want to talk.
Speaker 1: ABOUT i like on these on these appearances to look at.
Speaker 1: Samples it's so helpful to have a good quality picture
Speaker 1: when when you have a picture that shows exactly what's going,
Speaker 1: on it is just a lot easier to answer the questions.

Speaker 1: well the music MEANS i need to be, Quiet go
Speaker 1: get some. Coffee continue to wake up this. MORNING i woke.

Speaker 1: is supposed to be. Fun it. Is we're not in
Speaker 1: the days where we were scraping to get enough food to.
Speaker 1: Survive we Are we're In we live in a time
Speaker 1: a wonderful fortunate to do this. Too we live in
Speaker 1: a time when food is available and. Plentiful, now if
Speaker 1: you want to grow your, own go for. It you
Speaker 1: can do. That AND i you, KNOW i highly recommend
Speaker 1: that people grow some of their own, vegetables even if
Speaker 1: you know you live in a beautiful, house beautiful. Landscape,
Speaker 1: No i'm not going to put a vegetable garden. In
Speaker 1: put some containers out there and grow some of. Yourself
Speaker 1: grow some, fresh healthy. Food that is what fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: miles pressure than what you can grow in your. BACKYARD
Speaker 1: i think that's a good. Idea and gardening is no
Speaker 1: respector of. Persons that is another important thing to point
Speaker 1: out when you Are for, EXAMPLE i have seen the
Speaker 1: most gorgeous gardens that were built with, timbers AND i
Speaker 1: don't know if they'll ever pay for the, setup you,
Speaker 1: know on the garden in terms of the value of the.
Speaker 1: Vegetables and Then i've seen houses where they're literally fifty
Speaker 1: white five gallon buckets JUST i don't, know from paint or,
Speaker 1: something just five gallon buckets in the front yard filled
Speaker 1: with soil and growing, vegetables lots of. Vegetables you just
Speaker 1: have to draw holds in the bottom of a. Bucket
Speaker 1: but my point is is that everybody can, garden and
Speaker 1: everybody has room for a, garden even if that garden
Speaker 1: is one small, container you, know at the end of the,
Speaker 1: driveway OR i mean up on the side of the.
Speaker 1: Driveway go for. It don't be hampered by. THAT i
Speaker 1: highly recommend. Too i'm just highly recommended. TODAY i highly recommend.

Speaker 1: mix starts to dry out Because i'm watered. It the
Speaker 1: crystals are holding onto water still and the plant roots have,

Speaker 1: HERE i was talking to somebody the other day when
Speaker 1: we were, well WHEN i was at actually out Visiting,
Speaker 1: hoges and we were talking about product's product Called. Weedenator
Speaker 1: they're asking me about weedenater from The nelson plant foed
Speaker 1: folks weenat is basically it's not your typical weed and.
Speaker 1: Feed it utilizes a growth regulator that affects the speed
Speaker 1: of the, growth and it also has a different kind
Speaker 1: of post emergent herbicide in it to combat the weeds
Speaker 1: that are. Existing so if you want it to, work
Speaker 1: you gotta what the soil or what the leaves. First
Speaker 1: i'm not talking about irrigating an. Inch i'm just, saying
Speaker 1: turns sprinklers on enough to wet the leaves and then
Speaker 1: immediately put the dry grain your fertilizer out, there leave
Speaker 1: it a day or, two then watered in that day or.
Speaker 1: Two that actually the first few hours, especially it's soaking
Speaker 1: that product into the weed leaves and that's how it. Works.
Speaker 1: Now it also has a slow release, nitrogen which is
Speaker 1: nice because you're going to get an ongoing feeding from.
Speaker 1: That and that's from the folks At. Nelson know some
Speaker 1: plant food makes a lot of good, product and that
Speaker 1: is just one example of. One for those of you
Speaker 1: wanted to just do a little quick. Fertilization you use
Speaker 1: Their bruces. Brew that is a product that gives a
Speaker 1: quick immediate release and then has some nitrogen that is
Speaker 1: let's just say in waiting that will gradually release over
Speaker 1: a significant amount of. Time that's the bruces. Brew so
Speaker 1: either way you, go you're going to have success with.
Speaker 1: That our phone number is seven one three two one
Speaker 1: TWO ktrh or fifty eight seventy four if you'd like

Speaker 1: Hobby airport And south all those regions down that direction were,
Speaker 1: passed and we are now just passing the average frost
Speaker 1: date for up At Bush intercontinental and so those of you.

Speaker 1: SIDE i pot up my tomatoes and. Pepper i'll go
Speaker 1: and buy them, early but pot them. UP i buy
Speaker 1: them early BECAUSE i want the best. Selection pot them,

Speaker 1: plan them, MINE i already have a tomato that has
Speaker 1: blooms on. It so it's been waiting BECAUSE i don't
Speaker 1: want it to get. Frosted but now the coast is.
Speaker 1: Clear so potting them up and keeping them growing is
Speaker 1: a way that you can have good selection and a
Speaker 1: nice healthy plant and be extra conservative and avoiding that.
Speaker 1: Frost remember that tomatoes don't like sudden, cold chilly, nights
Speaker 1: and our nights are still very. Cold oh well for a,

Speaker 1: Works let's start this segment by going out to Sugar
Speaker 1: land and we're going to talk To. Debbie, Hello, debbie
Speaker 1: welcome to Garden.
Speaker 5: Line thank you very. Much good morning on this daylight
Speaker 5: saving time.
Speaker 1: Day, okay that that makes. SENSE i wasn't even thinking
Speaker 1: about that on the. Air the morning started kind of,
Speaker 1: slow AND i think it's because people are still waking.
Speaker 12: Up, YES i WISH i was still, asleep But i'm.
Speaker 5: Not but my question two THINGS i. Have Number, ONE
Speaker 5: i have all these areas in my front yard that
Speaker 5: have no grass. Growing what DO i do to the
Speaker 5: soil BEFORE i buy some grass to put on?
Speaker 1: Them, well depending on what condition your soil is. In you,
Speaker 1: know if it's heavy clay and you want to mix
Speaker 1: in a little bit of a blend with a little
Speaker 1: organic matter in, IT i would definitely do. Leveling right.
Speaker 1: Now there are some mixes you can put out to
Speaker 1: fill low. Spots if you got roots that are sticking
Speaker 1: up you're tripping, over you, know bring the soil up
Speaker 1: around those as. Well just kind of get all that.
Speaker 1: Right if you have any perennial, weeds then you definitely
Speaker 1: need to spray those and get rid of them before
Speaker 1: you put your grass in because a lot of them
Speaker 1: will just come up through the.
Speaker 4: Grass, okay and then you've already mentioned.
Speaker 5: THIS i have heavy gumbo soil clay soil in the,
Speaker 5: back AND i want to plant, things but it's like.
Speaker 13: So heavy to even what SHOULD i mix with that
Speaker 13: and make it.
Speaker 1: Better clay cell is a tricky, thing you. Know if
Speaker 1: it's too wet and you try to work it like
Speaker 1: with a, rototiller just as an, example it just really
Speaker 1: destroys the soil. Structure it's not. Good and if it's too,
Speaker 1: dry it's like. Concrete and so you got to catch
Speaker 1: it at the right moisture content to be able to
Speaker 1: do much to. It but don't forget that even just
Speaker 1: a clay soil grass will grow in. That because we'll
Speaker 1: think about. This the soil growers down along The Gulf
Speaker 1: coast area, here they grow in a clay. SOIL a
Speaker 1: lot of them. Do and so when when that grass comes,
Speaker 1: in you probably have noticed like a black clay underneath,
Speaker 1: it and they just had sliced that off from the.
Speaker 1: Field so they're not growing in composty. Soil they're growing
Speaker 1: in a, clay and so grass can be.
Speaker 13: This is WHERE i want to put.
Speaker 1: Plants so oh a, plant, okay, yes, okay that's. Easy
Speaker 1: get a good quality, mix a quality, mix and mix
Speaker 1: it a little bit with the clay if you. CAN
Speaker 1: i like to not have a sudden transition from wonderful
Speaker 1: soil just to a solid pie right and then and
Speaker 1: then continue to fill it. Up make a raised bed
Speaker 1: so you know you got good. Drainage so even when it's, rainy, rainy,
Speaker 1: soggy the plant roots some of them at least are
Speaker 1: up there in the. Bed and that that's WHAT i
Speaker 1: would do for preparing for. Plants and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of good bed. Mixes for most. Plants you could just
Speaker 1: use a rose soil and rose soil a lot of
Speaker 1: things in. That you, know a flower doesn't know it's
Speaker 1: a rose. SOIL i, mean it's a good soil you.
Speaker 6: Can, use thank you so.
Speaker 1: Much, Yeah and for, veggies and herbs and. THINGS a
Speaker 1: little finer textured soil would work.
Speaker 13: Good, OKAY i appreciate.
Speaker 6: It great, day all, right.
Speaker 1: You take, Care thanks for the. Call appreciate it.
Speaker 14: All.
Speaker 1: Right you are listening to Garden line our phone number

Speaker 1: Stores we had a little ranch with some cattle on
Speaker 1: it and we would always go in there and that
Speaker 1: that smell of a feed, STORE i just love. It
Speaker 1: it's an, earthy mat malty maybe kind of. SMELL i enjoy.
Speaker 1: That so they had a charge of mission for me
Speaker 1: to come in there and just smell the. Store that
Speaker 1: is a wonderful. Spell you know how when it comes to,
Speaker 1: memories smells or one of the things we most hold on.
Speaker 1: To you can take somebody that's ninety years old and
Speaker 1: you bake some cookies out in the kitchen and they smell,
Speaker 1: that and it's just it takes them right back to
Speaker 1: when they helped grandma bake cookies when they're a little.
Speaker 1: Kid that's how smells. ARE i think that's a wonderful.
Speaker 1: Thing an old ninety year old gardener at a community
Speaker 1: garden In conroe once or he always would, say how
Speaker 1: do you put? It flowers leave part of their fragrance
Speaker 1: in the hand that bestows them something like. That, anyway
Speaker 1: it was a nice. Quote someone asked me about as
Speaker 1: mite too. Yesterday they were just trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what so what is? That and DO i use it
Speaker 1: instead of my fertilizer or? Whatever, no your fertilizers put
Speaker 1: in the big macro nutrients typically organics are going to
Speaker 1: have some of, it a little bit of everything in.
Speaker 1: Them asamite is designed in mind from In. Utah it
Speaker 1: is designed to put down as a trace mineral, supplement
Speaker 1: so you don't use as much of. It but you
Speaker 1: can do the azomite in springtime the fall, time doing
Speaker 1: both if you, want and provide those minerals that are
Speaker 1: required for a plant to grow but aren't needed in large.
Speaker 1: Quantities when you put azimite, down it doesn't make your
Speaker 1: long term. Green it puts nutrients that the plant has
Speaker 1: to have in the bank account and your other fertilizers
Speaker 1: making your law term. Green asamite make sure that when
Speaker 1: and it tries to grow because of all that, fertilizer
Speaker 1: that it has everything it needs because without micros you
Speaker 1: can't grow a. PLANT i even say use it in
Speaker 1: a vegetable. Garden about ten pounds per thousands square. Feet
Speaker 1: you can go to Azamite texas dot com Asimite texas
Speaker 1: dot com and you can find out a lot about
Speaker 1: it if you'd like to do. That, now where do
Speaker 1: you find? It, Well i've seen it in a lot
Speaker 1: Of a's hardware, stores a Certainly southwest. Fertilizer i've seen
Speaker 1: it on pretty much all the garden CENTERS i go,
Speaker 1: into and a lot of the feed stores also carry
Speaker 1: the asamite because they know people want it and it
Speaker 1: works as simple as. That, well one word about applying,
Speaker 1: Things this just kind of occurred to me with. Azimite
Speaker 1: different things we apply to our lawn have different particle.
Speaker 1: Sizes you, know organic fertilizers often have a larger particle,
Speaker 1: size not, always but. Often then there's the regular fertilizers
Speaker 1: that have a you, know good sized, particles and so
Speaker 1: when you put them, out you have to open the
Speaker 1: little drop door on your spreader to allow them to
Speaker 1: get through there and get. Out when you look at
Speaker 1: things like azemite and, barricade those are real small, granules
Speaker 1: and so you are basically you are, basically you, know
Speaker 1: closing that door down a lot so you don't over apply.
Speaker 1: Them so you never want to mix those kinds of.
Speaker 1: Products i'll use azemite and barricades to examples into your
Speaker 1: fertilizer hopper and then put it out with your. Fertilizer
Speaker 1: and the reason is that you won't get an even.
Speaker 1: Distribution and so WHAT i would recommend is do your
Speaker 1: fertilization and then do your azemite or barricade that you're gonna,
Speaker 1: do or vice, versa but just do it in two separate.
Speaker 1: Passes also with those small, things sometimes it's hard to
Speaker 1: know exactly how much you're putting out in the. Spreader
Speaker 1: settings don't always you, know just really jive in terms
Speaker 1: of being really. ACCURATE i found, that and SO i
Speaker 1: will go to the lowest possible setting for that product
Speaker 1: that you're putting. Out and Now i'll even shrink it
Speaker 1: down just a little, bit And i'll put it out
Speaker 1: going north, south and then i'll put it out going east.
Speaker 1: West And i'm trying to avoid getting halfway through the
Speaker 1: lawn and all the product's. Gone SO i double, dosed you,
Speaker 1: know part of the, lawn AND i didn't dose it
Speaker 1: all the other. Part and double dosing and things are
Speaker 1: not a good, idea especially with products to control. Weeds
Speaker 1: SO i will do it that, Way and that's kind
Speaker 1: of hedging your. Bet that's being conservative to make sure
Speaker 1: because you can always when you, finish if you've got some,
Speaker 1: left all you got to do is go back over it.
Speaker 1: Again maybe open the door a little. More makes it.
Speaker 1: Easy so here here's a quick tip that those of
Speaker 1: you who have a spreader and you have a product
Speaker 1: and you don't know what to. Do you can't find
Speaker 1: your spreader on the product bag or vice. Versa any,
Speaker 1: way on walk behind, spreaders if you go to wherever
Speaker 1: the middle number is and move it up a notch
Speaker 1: or two above half for, fertilizer that's for. Fertilizer so
Speaker 1: if there are twenty notches on the, spreader you'd set
Speaker 1: it on eleven or. Twelve that's one or two above the. Middle,
Speaker 1: okay that's for. Fertilizer for pre emergent, herbicides small, particles, Right,
Speaker 1: okay you want to on a walk behind, spreader you
Speaker 1: want to put it a notch above one. Quarter so
Speaker 1: using the twenty notch, example one fourth of twenty is,
Speaker 1: five and maybe you can go five or six for the.
Speaker 1: Setting but AGAIN i would seriously consider even going a
Speaker 1: little bit lower and then being ready to come crossways
Speaker 1: across it for better uniformity and also to avoid over.
Speaker 1: Applying and then so that's that's for pre emergent small particle. Things,
Speaker 1: OKAY i hope that helps that else it makes it
Speaker 1: makes sense to, ME i NEED i need to add
Speaker 1: that to the. Website that would be a good thing
Speaker 1: to put up. There let's, see we are just about
Speaker 1: to hit another. Break i'm going to remind you That
Speaker 1: i'm going to be at Jnr Ace Hardware importer Next,
Speaker 1: Saturday Next, saturday and the time IS i checked out

Speaker 1: rob welcome To. Guardline, hey thank you very. Much good
Speaker 1: morning to.
Speaker 8: You.
Speaker 15: YEAH i sent you a couple of emails in the
Speaker 15: passer with some photos of. THIS i acquired a property
Speaker 15: here In katie here back In, october and we just
Speaker 15: sold our big, house, kits you're gone now and we've
Speaker 15: got a little house. Now AND i gave my word
Speaker 15: to the landlord THAT i was going to revive his.
Speaker 15: Yard AND i started using uh y'all's, schedule and, uh you,
Speaker 15: KNOW i also did a soil analysis report WITH Aggr
Speaker 15: Life extension and AND i started following that it wanted
Speaker 15: me to add an additional pound of night of. Nitrogen and,
Speaker 15: Uh i'm to the point. NOW i don't know if
Speaker 15: you had a chance to review those, photos BUT i
Speaker 15: got a lot of bear spots where there's uh AND
Speaker 15: i just. DON'T i, know there's no, grass no turf
Speaker 15: is going to grow. THERE i was thinking. Of, uh
Speaker 15: first of, All i'm going to errate it here in
Speaker 15: the next week or, so just to start. Out, uh
Speaker 15: would you suggest an application of? Overseeding and if, so
Speaker 15: do you suggest what do you think about that water
Speaker 15: saver WITH? Rtf then the natural fescue without that has
Speaker 15: zero percent wheat.
Speaker 1: SEED i wouldn't overseed in general right, now and the
Speaker 1: fescue is not going to make it as a lawn down.
Speaker 1: Here we are just too. Hot. Uh you know it
Speaker 1: has succumbed to. Diseases that's one, thing but in, general
Speaker 1: it's it's not something we. Do AND i know a
Speaker 1: lot of people have moved in from further, north and
Speaker 1: you know they love. Fescat it's a, nice, soft wonderful,
Speaker 1: lawn long, Grass, uh but just not for this. AREA
Speaker 1: i see in one of the photos four legged. PET
Speaker 1: i bet he likes traps across the.
Speaker 15: Lawn so, yeah that's that's that's my service. Dog that's
Speaker 15: my that's my blue Since. Iraq yeah he's, uh well he's,
Speaker 15: yeah he's got to be in.
Speaker 1: Everything so, yeah it's a, Husky is it? True what
Speaker 1: they say about the way they yelled when they.
Speaker 15: Bark, yeah they don't bark THEY i mean he has
Speaker 15: something to say.
Speaker 1: About he gives you the. BUSINESS i mean every time he's.
Speaker 15: He, owls. Yips that's where he. Was he was a
Speaker 15: human being in another.
Speaker 1: That's, funny all. Right, well everybody needs somebody to keep
Speaker 1: them in. Line so you're WHAT i would do in your.
Speaker 1: Yard i'd looked through the pictures AND i didn't see
Speaker 1: any perennial. Weeds but if there was something, perennial like
Speaker 1: some mutographs growing in what you want to Be Saint,
Speaker 1: augustine now is the time to go ahead and get
Speaker 1: rid of. It it may help to wait a little
Speaker 1: bit longer where it actually starts to, grow because the
Speaker 1: products work better when it's actively. Growing other than, that
Speaker 1: getting the organic material off the, surface you, know kind
Speaker 1: of getting it all out of there so you can
Speaker 1: lay your sod and you get good sod to soil.
Speaker 1: Contact that's important in. RECEEDING i would water the yard
Speaker 1: a day or two BEFORE i put the sod down
Speaker 1: to get make sure you got a good. Soaking and
Speaker 1: then when you plant the, sod very, lightly water twice
Speaker 1: a day for a, week once a day for another,
Speaker 1: week and then begin to wean off to a regular.
Speaker 15: Schedule, okay so you're suggesting sodding those dead blank, spots,
Speaker 15: yes and just leaving Because i've been digging up there
Speaker 15: AND i did, it but just constantly pulling up that
Speaker 15: creeping grass for days and days on on IN i
Speaker 15: did go ahead back In, NOVEMBER i did uh uh
Speaker 15: what do you call it when you uh that mean.
Speaker 1: Scene where you uh air, no not air not air
Speaker 1: eight constarn.
Speaker 16: It it's where you tear it up there with the
Speaker 16: times oh rototail like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, like, YEAH i did. That, YEAH i did.
Speaker 15: THAT i have an electric one there AND i picked
Speaker 15: up a lot a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 1: There but uh but, yeah so you saw.
Speaker 6: It it was probably my best.
Speaker 17: Bet.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah and what you're calling a creeping grass Is Saint,
Speaker 1: augustine which is the most widely used turf species in our.
Speaker 1: Area but, okay, anyway, yeah but It's Saint augustine's easy
Speaker 1: to get rid. Of it doesn't have anything underground that
Speaker 1: will pop. Up you scraped the surface and you've finished
Speaker 1: The Saint augustine. Off Uh so that's. Good that is
Speaker 1: if you're replacing it with something that would be, good and,
Speaker 1: Uh Saint augustine is a good. Choice bermuda grass Is,
Speaker 1: okay it has its pros and. Cons you need to
Speaker 1: mow it a lot more often for it to look its,
Speaker 1: best and, also uh it gets into flower beds and,
Speaker 1: things so that's just a trade. Off and then finally
Speaker 1: we have, zelesia which also can spread. Underground, yeah you
Speaker 1: got some good options out. There, okay all, Right dan
Speaker 1: Well Saint.
Speaker 15: Augustine it is now as far as the rest of the, turf,
Speaker 15: uh would you suggest like a soil activator or some
Speaker 15: kind of top top dressing the one or two inches
Speaker 15: of that to spread over the existing.
Speaker 1: Turf so there's some areas you're not going to, replace right, Right,
Speaker 1: Yeah i'm not going to replace the whole yard. Yet
Speaker 1: this is this is just a.
Speaker 15: Rental, YEAH i don't want to put too much money Into, yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Okay so on those, areas, UH i just just
Speaker 1: get the new turf established and once it's been in
Speaker 1: for almost a, month you can begin to fertilize.
Speaker 2: It you.
Speaker 1: Know, initially initially just hold, off and then once it's been,
Speaker 1: in you can begin to fertilize. It it could be a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, even but, yeah it takes. It it
Speaker 1: takes it a while to really begin to root, in you,
Speaker 1: know so maybe a couple of weeks before it's getting
Speaker 1: a decent root system started and looking at.
Speaker 15: It all, right all, right one other question And i'll
Speaker 15: Let i'll let you. Go what CAN i do with
Speaker 15: speak speaking of blue with the burn spots of the?
Speaker 1: Dogs, yeah there there's not other than just drenching that
Speaker 1: area and trying to wash the salts out in the.
Speaker 1: Right that would be about the only. Thing, okay all, right.

Speaker 1: of course for the skeleton development of the, bird but
Speaker 1: when they're laying, eggs they have a greater need for
Speaker 1: calcium than other animals do because they're producing the. Eggshells
Speaker 1: so in the spring we're in nesting season now and
Speaker 1: in the, summertime which can also be nesting season for some.
Speaker 1: Species the nesting super blend is the outstanding bird seed to,
Speaker 1: do and it is high. Quality you don't get stuff
Speaker 1: the birds don't want to eat in, it like a
Speaker 1: cheap bird. Seed this. One if it's in the, bag
Speaker 1: the bird you can eat. It that's kind of how that,
Speaker 1: works you. Know sometimes the wabbirds has things called no mess,
Speaker 1: blends which mean that sunflowers don't even have shells on
Speaker 1: them like. That but, anyway you need to consider that
Speaker 1: also a good time for cardinal. Confetti, still cardinal confetti
Speaker 1: is a wonderful mix for. Birds it's got safflower, oil black, oil,
Speaker 1: sunflowers sunflower, chips it's got, bark, butter peanut, halves dried,
Speaker 1: mealworms a type of. SUNFLOWER i, mean lots of things
Speaker 1: in it as. Well and check out their cardinal tube
Speaker 1: feeder and they're good evening cardinal. Feeder those are really. Cool,
Speaker 1: now the other DAY i got me one of the,
Speaker 1: feeders the hopper types of, feeders and the type Called
Speaker 1: Echo tough and the reason is it's made from recycloplastic
Speaker 1: and it is very, strong very, durable very long, lasting
Speaker 1: got a nice white. Roof that's one THING i like about.
Speaker 1: Mine when it, rains you, know some bird, feeders the
Speaker 1: water gets in there and then all that feed that
Speaker 1: are seed that's sitting, there you, know it gets musty
Speaker 1: and yet to toss that. Out this one has a
Speaker 1: little larger, roof so you have that less of a
Speaker 1: problem unless the rains coming, sideways which it can do
Speaker 1: when the wind. Blows, anyway check out Wild Birds unlimited
Speaker 1: at our six locations Again, Parland Kingwood West side Of,
Speaker 1: Houston Memorial, southside Bel Air boulevard Southwest, side And Barker

Speaker 1: one of those birds we were talking about furtilizing the
Speaker 1: lawn earlier and nitrophas put together they're a product Called.
Speaker 1: Imperial it's a red and orange. Bag they did this
Speaker 1: like almost fifty years ago and, so and it was
Speaker 1: based it's a fifteen to five to. Ten it was
Speaker 1: based on research done At Turf university turf, programs and
Speaker 1: so the fifteen five to ten is a perfect balance
Speaker 1: of the things that turf needs in that right. Ratio
Speaker 1: So Nitrofos, imperial that's the red orange, bag is a
Speaker 1: great one for when you're doing an early quick greenup
Speaker 1: in the. Spring because it's immediately. Available you can use
Speaker 1: it anytime of year you. Want but as we get
Speaker 1: toward the, SUMMERTIME i generally will switch to one of

Speaker 1: like to do. That but spring greenup this is the
Speaker 1: time when people head out and grab The. Imperial now

Speaker 1: Show and you, know if you if your neighbors don't
Speaker 1: listen to Guard, line you wanna you wanna tell him about,
Speaker 1: it especially the neighbor that didn't take care of his
Speaker 1: place or her. Place tell HIM i got a great
Speaker 1: show to listen. To maybe they'll maybe they'll listen and you,
Speaker 1: know start sprushing up the place a little. BIT i don't.
Speaker 1: Know that's a long, shot but, hey we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna try go far it. Anyway, well first THING i
Speaker 1: want to do is go out to the phones To
Speaker 1: bill In galveston and so Hey, Bill, Hello, bill are you? There? Okay? Hello,
Speaker 1: yes we got. You welcome to Guard. Line thank.
Speaker 3: YOU i sent you some photos and we talked about you.
Speaker 2: Online i'm concerned about doing WHAT i want to do with,
Speaker 2: it cutting off with creeing these trees because of the
Speaker 2: size of the, limbs AND i want to make sure
Speaker 2: to damage.
Speaker 1: The, yes, okay so, yeah, Yeah AND i sent you
Speaker 1: a couple of, links you, know and just general arbiculture
Speaker 1: types of. Things, so, uh you can cut, off you,
Speaker 1: know as big a limb as you. Want but at some,
Speaker 1: point when you're cutting off a limb that's you, know really,
Speaker 1: large it's never going to heal over in the life
Speaker 1: of that, tree, probably but way before it heals, over
Speaker 1: the wood that's exposed will with moisture and rain and
Speaker 1: stuff start to, rot and then you end up with
Speaker 1: an interior. Decay that happens on a lot of. Trees
Speaker 1: so the main thing is make the cut where it.
Speaker 1: BELONGS i had one of the THINGS i sent you
Speaker 1: showed how to make a three point cut a three
Speaker 1: point cut and doing it that, way cutting in the right,
Speaker 1: place leaving the branch. Collar you don't need to paint the.
Speaker 1: Cut that's probably the best. WAY i didn't realize you
Speaker 1: had access to. Equipment WHEN i was answering you, FIRST
Speaker 1: i just, thought oh my, gosh how do You but that's,
Speaker 1: good that's good that you.
Speaker 2: Do i'm just concerned THAT i don't want to damage the.
Speaker 2: Tree it's not my, tree it's my neighbor's.
Speaker 1: Tree, well, Okay i'm not a, lawyer SO i can't
Speaker 1: really comment on liabilities and issues things like. That but
Speaker 1: if you follow the pruning directions on where to make,
Speaker 1: CUTS i think that's. GOOD i would try to avoid
Speaker 1: cutting a branch off where you're just leaving the end
Speaker 1: stump of the, branch like if you make a, fist
Speaker 1: your arm is the branch and it just ends in a.
Speaker 1: Stump if you can find a place where a good
Speaker 1: sized branch goes off from, it then and it needs
Speaker 1: to be you, know reasonably, close maybe a third the
Speaker 1: size or, bigger maybe better half the size of the
Speaker 1: branch you're cutting it off. Of that's. Better that's called
Speaker 1: a thinning, cut and it's better to go that. Way
Speaker 1: BUT i would just suggest you go, online look at those,
Speaker 1: resources look at how they describe it, out and go
Speaker 1: that route that that'll get you as close to doing
Speaker 1: a good job as.
Speaker 2: You can, okay But i'll do, That.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir be careful and stay, Safe, okay that's for.

Speaker 1: got aces all over the. Place you're listening To guardline's
Speaker 1: phone number, again seven one three two one two k
Speaker 1: t R. H yesterday was a day WHERE i couldn't
Speaker 1: hardly get to all the, calls and today's a nice quiet.
Speaker 1: Day so if you're somebody that doesn't want to wait
Speaker 1: in line, long, well today'd be a good day to.
Speaker 1: Call and WHEN i say, that then of course maybe
Speaker 1: the phone's light. Up but first to call gets to be,
Speaker 1: on that's for. Sure another reminder that if you're gonna
Speaker 1: put a pre emergent down on your, lawn you need
Speaker 1: to get it done as ap to get the most
Speaker 1: benefit from. It after weed sprouts and starts to, grow
Speaker 1: these pre emergents are not gonna kill. Them they're. Not
Speaker 1: they don't kill existing. Weeds some of them kill weeds
Speaker 1: when they're really really. Young but, anyway you need to
Speaker 1: get it. Done that's. Important barricade barricade by nitrofoss is a.
Speaker 1: Product it controls broad leaf weeds and grassy weeds as.
Speaker 1: Well another THING i like about, barricade it's better than
Speaker 1: a lot of the pre emergence in sticking to the
Speaker 1: soil and not moving in the soil because it's made
Speaker 1: to form a. Barricade if it washed off when the weed,
Speaker 1: sprout there's no barricade. There now it forms a barricade
Speaker 1: on the soil. Surface you put it. Down you need
Speaker 1: to water it in with a half inch of water
Speaker 1: about just to move it down into the soil, Surface,
Speaker 1: okay and then it goes to. Work always follow the,
Speaker 1: label use the label. Rate don't think if you do
Speaker 1: it double you're going to kill more. Weeds when we
Speaker 1: use peticide. Products the labels on there for a, reason

Speaker 1: told everybody if you, call you wanted to wait in,
Speaker 1: line and then everybody. Called NOW i need to get to.
Speaker 1: Them thank, you, SIR i appreciate. IT i appreciate that very.
Speaker 1: Much let's now go To willis and talk To. Mike.
Speaker 23: Yeah, Yes i'm building A i'm building a raised. Bed
Speaker 23: it's about two and a half foot tall from a
Speaker 23: rooting material metal roof of. Material And i've got some
Speaker 23: place in that a BUILDING i.
Speaker 3: Purchased it was a daycare.
Speaker 23: Center my idea was to put the seaning down to
Speaker 23: the top, soil then put a whed barrier and mulch
Speaker 23: on top of, that and then WHEN i. PLANTED i
Speaker 23: did this with some strawberries about sixty. STRAWBERRIES i had
Speaker 23: to cut a hole in the wheat. Barrier, okay SHOULD
Speaker 23: i use that sand or SHOULD i mix it? Up
Speaker 23: or SHOULD i even don't even use?
Speaker 1: It, well it's gonna have to. Grow it's gonna have
Speaker 1: to grow in the soil that's on that. Site so
Speaker 1: mixing stuff up for the planting hole isn't gonna be
Speaker 1: much of a help at. All it's gonna have to
Speaker 1: grow in the soil on that. Site if you want,
Speaker 1: to if you want to boost and you, know trying
Speaker 1: to have better success with, it, well you know you
Speaker 1: can always you can always add a little slow release
Speaker 1: fertilizers you get your plants in and get them.
Speaker 23: Growing, yeah but you know you got about two and
Speaker 23: a half three foot of soil above the natural.
Speaker 1: Brand, Okay i'm.
Speaker 23: Older i'm an older, guy SO i don't.
Speaker 2: Like to pin over pull.
Speaker 23: Weeds, okay but cutting a hole in the weed barrier
Speaker 23: is that is that good or?
Speaker 1: Well i'm not a big weed barrier. FAN i know
Speaker 1: why people use them and. Stuff WHAT i find is
Speaker 1: that over, time you get weed seeds on top of the,
Speaker 1: barrier and when you got a mulch on there because
Speaker 1: you don't want to see the. Barrier they start to
Speaker 1: grow on top and then the roots go through the
Speaker 1: barrier and it just kind of becomes a. Mess but
Speaker 1: early on that'll help you just realize you're probably end
Speaker 1: up pulling it out at some. Point, okay, okay, okay all, right,
Speaker 1: sir good luck with. That, yeah all, right we are
Speaker 1: now going to head to talk To steve And. Conroe, Hey,

Speaker 12: Hello good, Morning, skip good. MORNING i got a niche
Speaker 12: with with some trees that i'd like to use the
Speaker 12: kind of diagnosed.
Speaker 17: If you would.
Speaker 1: Please, oh, YES i saw your.
Speaker 12: Email, okay, YEAH i sent a few pictures and it's
Speaker 12: UH i Had. Well the home that we live in
Speaker 12: is in one of these editions In League. City it's
Speaker 12: been here five. Years the trees were looking, good and
Speaker 12: Last OCTOBER i had them trimmed and was real pleased with.
Speaker 12: That and then now all of a, Sudden i'm noticing
Speaker 12: the two trees in the front. Yard they're really dropping. Leaves,
Speaker 12: okay it's just there's leaves, everywhere and it's kind of.
Speaker 12: Scarier all, right WHAT i need to?
Speaker 1: Do, WELL i have great news for you. Today you
Speaker 1: got nothing to worry about live oak. Trees they're all
Speaker 1: most of them are genetically, different and so they do
Speaker 1: What i'm about to say to different. Degrees but in the,
Speaker 1: spring when they're ready to put on the new, growth
Speaker 1: they cast off a lot of the old. Leaves and
Speaker 1: the reason it looks so bad is it's casting them.
Speaker 1: Off now they will get the new growth and they'll
Speaker 1: go on just. Fine SOMETIMES i had a, tree a
Speaker 1: live oak one, time where it almost went completely bare
Speaker 1: before it got its new. Leaves some of them blended
Speaker 1: together a little. Bit but don't worry about. That you're.
Speaker 1: Good the only THING i see on your tree That
Speaker 1: i'd be a little concerned about is at the base
Speaker 1: of the. Tree it was planted too, deep AND i
Speaker 1: can tell that because it goes int of the ground
Speaker 1: like a telephone. Pole if you can pull that mulch,
Speaker 1: back pull some saw back till you see a root
Speaker 1: that should be at the. Surface and don't pile stuff
Speaker 1: up against the. Trunk it looked like it was planted too.
Speaker 1: Deep you may pull the mulch back and it's really
Speaker 1: just the moults that's too, deep but get it away
Speaker 1: from the base of the.
Speaker 12: Trunk, okay, wow that's. Good NEEDS i. WAS i was
Speaker 12: trying to figure out what was going, on And i'm,
Speaker 12: thinking the only woman need to replace.
Speaker 1: Them but all, right, sir well that's why you call
Speaker 1: it garden, line.
Speaker 12: And it. WAS i sent another couple of pictures at
Speaker 12: the very end of two windmill palms that were playing
Speaker 12: it at the same. Time one was one is real
Speaker 12: healthy and the other one was kind of skinny and
Speaker 12: puny at the.
Speaker 1: Top, YEAH i just.
Speaker 12: Wondered so you had the suggestion.
Speaker 1: The only place that kind of palm tree can grow
Speaker 1: from is the top of the. Trunk there's a bud
Speaker 1: up there that puts out of the. Leaves you don't
Speaker 1: have sprouts at the base or out the side of the.
Speaker 1: Tree so if that bud is alive and made it through,
Speaker 1: winter Which i'm almost one hundred sure it, did you
Speaker 1: should see new growth when it starts to warm. Up
Speaker 1: even though there's a difference between. Them just start to fertilize,
Speaker 1: them do you. Know palm is. Uh it's easy to,
Speaker 1: fertilize and you can use some of your lawn fertilizer
Speaker 1: on if you want to kind of support a little
Speaker 1: bit faster. Growth but, ANYWAY i think you're okay on
Speaker 1: that one. Too, okay all as, Well, yeah all as
Speaker 1: well out In League. City all, right thank, you appreciate
Speaker 1: THAT i have you.
Speaker 12: That thank you so.
Speaker 1: Much our phone number seven one three two one two
Speaker 1: k t R. H got time for one. Call and you,
Speaker 1: Know i'll, say got a wide open, lines and then
Speaker 1: ten people. CALL i, say you don't have to, wait
Speaker 1: and then ten people. Call now you have to. Wait,
Speaker 1: well you guys out there, Listening i'll talk among yourselves
Speaker 1: and decide who wants to, call and then you'll get in.
Speaker 1: First if we can do that. First all, right that's,
Speaker 1: enough silly foo run. AROUND i am, gosh what WAS
Speaker 1: i talking About just a second? AGO i was wanting
Speaker 1: to go into, well it'll come back to me right.
Speaker 1: Now if you are getting flower beds and you want
Speaker 1: to get flowers in them and get them, planted build
Speaker 1: the soil is, always, always, always always build a, soil
Speaker 1: whatever kinds of a good bed mix you, use or
Speaker 1: just compost mixed into the. Soil either, way get it
Speaker 1: right and then put the plants. In people have asked
Speaker 1: me before how far apart DO i plant? Flowers AND
Speaker 1: i use a triangular layout for, mine so rather than
Speaker 1: being in. Rows you, know it's like a, triangle and
Speaker 1: one triangle is right side, up one's upside down the next.
Speaker 1: One if you just kind of picture that in your,
Speaker 1: mind and that makes a, nice nice mix in when you.
Speaker 1: Do if you think about the mature size of what you're,
Speaker 1: planting you can put things about eighty, percent even a
Speaker 1: little closer together in the. Bed the closer you, plant
Speaker 1: the more instantly you get. Coverage BUT i like to
Speaker 1: go about eighty. Percent if you don't want the plants
Speaker 1: to be overlapping a, little then you can go beyond
Speaker 1: that natural mature. Size but that's a good role of.
Speaker 1: Thumb that's also a good role of thumb for shrubs
Speaker 1: and things like. That for, example if you have a,
Speaker 1: hedge you're going to plant a. Hedge you're going to
Speaker 1: use your opond or the gustroum or something to plant a. Hedge,
Speaker 1: well look at how big they get and plant them
Speaker 1: about eighty percent if you want to save money on
Speaker 1: a few, plants or go to fifty percent if you
Speaker 1: want to get a nice hedge a little bit. Faster,
Speaker 1: OKAY i BELIEVE i got a call here in just
Speaker 1: a few minutes to take. It So i'll go to that.
Speaker 1: Call you'll hang on just for one. Second so that
Speaker 1: kind of spacing kind of gives you a rough. Idea,
Speaker 1: now ANYTIME i, generalize there's things that are not that
Speaker 1: it doesn't apply. To, okay some plants are very slow,
Speaker 1: growing and we plant those closer just because we want
Speaker 1: it to fill in. Faster, well let's go To craig
Speaker 1: out in Clear lake now and we'll finish up this
Speaker 1: segment with. Him Hey, Craig, hey how are? You i'm doing.
Speaker 1: Good i'm doing. Good how can we help?
Speaker 20: Today WHEN i moved into my, HOUSE i had a
Speaker 20: Beautiful Saint augustine. Lawn now the trees behind me have
Speaker 20: grown in and my lawn doesn't get a lot of.
Speaker 20: Sunshine i've replanted The Saint augustine and it. Doesn't it
Speaker 20: lasts a, while but then it fades. Away and my
Speaker 20: question is is there a better ground cover THAT i
Speaker 20: can plant that will be more tolerant to less.
Speaker 1: Sunlight, well there, are and every, plant like every, person
Speaker 1: has its pros and. Cons, okay so a few groundcovers
Speaker 1: that look well look good in a considerable amount of
Speaker 1: shade if they get the blast of the hot afternoon.
Speaker 1: Sun that's hard on plants that are normally shade tolerant
Speaker 1: or even preferring a little break from the. Sun but
Speaker 1: a Groundcover asian jasmine is often used Around houston and sunny,
Speaker 1: spots and it'll go into a little bit of. SHADE
Speaker 1: a djuga as a plant that a perennial that grows
Speaker 1: along the ground and spreads slowly and fills in to an.
Speaker 1: Area i've seen people make entire front yards in areas
Speaker 1: of town where the oak trees are reaching across the
Speaker 1: street and. Touching they'll make a whole yard out of
Speaker 1: loriope or monkey grass or those kinds of. Things so,
Speaker 1: anyway that is up to. You there are some. Others
Speaker 1: now you're you're down and a. Clearlake is that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 20: YES i.
Speaker 5: Am.
Speaker 1: Yeah if you can head over To Moss nursery and
Speaker 1: ask them that, question they're going to tell you the
Speaker 1: plants they have and they'll give you some more some more.
Speaker 1: Ideas that's WHAT i would recommend you do in order
Speaker 1: to get that shade area kind of.
Speaker 20: Covered, well, okay Something bermuda would not work for?
Speaker 1: Me is that? Correct bermuda can't stand. Shade, Yeah zoezia
Speaker 1: is not as good As Saint, augustine although fine texture
Speaker 1: juleysias Like xeon can take quite a. Bit but if
Speaker 1: You're Saint augustine is declining due to, SHADE i would
Speaker 1: move and not plant a grass.
Speaker 20: There, okay appreciate, It thank.

Speaker 1: a lot of planting And medina has To grow six
Speaker 1: twelve six is one THAT i love to use when we're.
Speaker 1: PLANTING i will soak a root ball in it in the,
Speaker 1: mix you, know follow the, label make the. Mix it's
Speaker 1: it's going to do a good. Job SO i can
Speaker 1: burn your. Plants follow the label And i'll soak the
Speaker 1: plant in it BEFORE i plant, it Or i'll sit
Speaker 1: in the ground and then soak. It but either way
Speaker 1: you go at, planting you apply this with the watering
Speaker 1: can or whatever you. Want six twelve six has To
Speaker 1: grow plant. Food, okay then about a week or two
Speaker 1: later you can do has to grow six twelve six
Speaker 1: plant food From medina, again and then a third time
Speaker 1: has to grow six four six plant food From. Medina
Speaker 1: that is the WAY i go about. It so those
Speaker 1: three applications of that high phosphorus fertilizer helps a root
Speaker 1: structure begin to form. Better phosphorus is important in. Rooting
Speaker 1: now it also has NUTRIENT i have seaweed extract and
Speaker 1: it's got The medina soil activator product is also in.
Speaker 1: There this is a concoction and, humate humic, acid humic.
Speaker 1: Acid you, know you know that humus is good for the.

Speaker 1: to Find medina pretty much Everywhere i'm talking about here
Speaker 1: on garden line because they're so widespread. Available let's, see
Speaker 1: we are gonna check something right. Here i'm trying to
Speaker 1: keep up with this this email because we had some
Speaker 1: folks that were going to call back. In, okay we'll
Speaker 1: just hold off on. That so, meanwhile back at the
Speaker 1: what to, do it is time to get your vegetable gardens.
Speaker 1: In now there's this line depending on What if you
Speaker 1: live up let's Say Huntsville College, station you, know further
Speaker 1: north than, here you're kind of on the edge of
Speaker 1: that last frost of the. Year if you're down, south
Speaker 1: we're way past the last frost of the. Year the
Speaker 1: problem is the weather doesn't cooperate with my calendar or
Speaker 1: the weather men's, calendar and so you never. Know AND
Speaker 1: i was telling the group the other, day it's, like,
Speaker 1: well how much of a gambler are?
Speaker 2: You you, know do?
Speaker 1: You you, know just want to be completely, safe AND
Speaker 1: i want to know there's almost no chance of a. Frost,
Speaker 1: well then way longer than plant you can do, that
Speaker 1: but it's good to get an early head. Start so
Speaker 1: if you're a real, gambler you, know like the first
Speaker 1: guy wears a belt and suspenders just in case the
Speaker 1: other end of the spectrum or the gamblers and they'll
Speaker 1: throw it out. There you, know they can cover it,
Speaker 1: up or they can buy a new tomato if they need,
Speaker 1: to but they want to get that good quality plant
Speaker 1: that before somebody else picks it. Up you, know these
Speaker 1: varieties don't, last and before somebody else picks it, up
Speaker 1: they want, That so you can do it that. WAY
Speaker 1: i told you earlier THAT i buy them, early AND
Speaker 1: i pop mine up and get them growing bigger and
Speaker 1: bigger and, bigger so THEN i can put them out
Speaker 1: at a safer. Time And i'm just, fine good head,
Speaker 1: start all, right let's see. HERE i just, OH i
Speaker 1: was mentioning. That and on the, planting don't forget to mulch.
Speaker 1: Too we got to keep our soil surface. Mulched whenever
Speaker 1: sunlight hits the, soil or wherever sunlight hits the, soil
Speaker 1: nature plants a. Weed that's the way to think about.
Speaker 1: It and bear nature does not like bear. Soil bear
Speaker 1: soil gets crusty roads, away and nature doesn't like. That
Speaker 1: nature's going to cover bear soil with, plants and those
Speaker 1: plants are called. Weeds. Usually, Hey i'll be right. Back,

Speaker 1: Com let's go To. Susan, NOW i believe we got
Speaker 1: that email situation. Fixed, SUSAN i see the. Question, Hi,
Speaker 1: yeah well this is this is definitely definitely one THAT
Speaker 1: i needed to see the. Picture, Okay so for people,
Speaker 1: listening we Have susan has a tree that very low
Speaker 1: to the ground forked into two, trunks and they are huge.
Speaker 1: TRUNKS i mean it looks to Me susan like that
Speaker 1: maybe like ten inches across or something like. That one
Speaker 1: of them was cut. Off the other one is. There
Speaker 1: she wants to know do you need to keep the
Speaker 1: tree or can she keep the? Tree, well that that
Speaker 1: stump she cut off there will never heal fully, over
Speaker 1: it isn't It just the callous will start to, form
Speaker 1: but it will never close, over and that will start
Speaker 1: to rot and it's not going to be. Tomorrow but
Speaker 1: as it starts to, rot you're going to end up
Speaker 1: weakening the other. Trunk because now you've got a hollow
Speaker 1: base where the other trunk comes, in and then it
Speaker 1: starts to get. Dangerous so you're not in a hurry
Speaker 1: to get rid of. It but there's not a long
Speaker 1: term hope for.
Speaker 26: That, Okay so you, THINK i, mean like a bad
Speaker 26: storm or something can throw it over on especially.
Speaker 1: Especially when you get the decay down in, there you,
Speaker 1: know right, now.
Speaker 26: Go, Ahead NOW i see little little like particles of
Speaker 26: saw like you, know you, know like something's chewing on the. Inside, okay,
Speaker 26: saw just What i'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Say, Okay, well then you have a borer somewhere in.
Speaker 1: THERE i assumed that was that they that was just
Speaker 1: part of the chainsaw. Deal but, anyway uh, YEAH i
Speaker 1: not being there to see. It just looking at the
Speaker 1: picture this one. Angle uh it's a concern for, me
Speaker 1: and it really will be a concern as time goes.
Speaker 26: On all, right twenty five twenty five plus year old.
Speaker 26: Tree it was really nice one, MAN i.
Speaker 1: Know how that. Is, okay all, right that's WHAT i
Speaker 1: needed to.
Speaker 26: Know thank you very, Much.
Speaker 1: Thank, you. Ma'am, yeah that is the. Case we were
Speaker 1: talking about compost top, dressing OR i WAS i was
Speaker 1: talking to a caller about compost top dressing the other
Speaker 1: day and they were, asking, well, like who serves in my?
Speaker 1: Area and we have different folks that serve different areas Of.
Speaker 1: Houston they don't like to take a huge truck of
Speaker 1: compost and their heavy equipment all all over the. Place
Speaker 1: it's just it's just too much on the. Road so
Speaker 1: they serve an area year Round. Houston if you live
Speaker 1: inside The, beltway year Round houston serves your, area they,
Speaker 1: do and all you got to do is go to
Speaker 1: the website year Round houston dot, com year Round houston
Speaker 1: dot com if you want to give them a call
Speaker 1: eight three to two eight eight four five three three.
Speaker 1: Five now they are specialists when it comes to core air.
Speaker 1: Rating that means popping the little cylinders of soil out
Speaker 1: of the, ground leaving them on top of the. Ground
Speaker 1: that is so important to get good oxygen and good
Speaker 1: water infiltration on your, lawn especially an area that's been.
Speaker 1: Compacted and then they follow with a compost top, dressing
Speaker 1: so you can get both of those done by the same.
Speaker 1: Folks and when you do, that you set your line
Speaker 1: up for. Success so that's the bottom, line year Round
Speaker 1: houston dot. Com folks inside The, beltway looking to get
Speaker 1: your lawn spruced. Up it's looking. Bad maybe last summer
Speaker 1: took a toll on it with bugs or diseases or
Speaker 1: just dry. Times this is a good way to do.
Speaker 1: It let's head out now To cyprus and talk To.
Speaker 1: Jim Hello, Jim welcome To. Guardline Hey, SKIP.
Speaker 13: I got a question about tree. ROOTS i have tree
Speaker 13: roots coming up through the ground pretty, annoying AND i
Speaker 13: know That randy would say that you'd cut one out a,
Speaker 13: year AND i just want to find out what you
Speaker 13: think and WHETHER i should.
Speaker 3: Do that or.
Speaker 2: Not, well.
Speaker 1: You, CAN i, think you, Know randy is basically trying
Speaker 1: to keep you from cutting so many roots that you
Speaker 1: hurt the tree or that it affected the stability of
Speaker 1: the tree in a. Storm, Right but there's a couple of,
Speaker 1: approaches and you, know depending on how your side is
Speaker 1: laid out and, everything you one option is to bring
Speaker 1: in some soil around where the roots are and raise
Speaker 1: the level up just a little. Bit you don't want
Speaker 1: to do too. Much you can do an inch or
Speaker 1: two in a year or you you, know and eventually
Speaker 1: you're going to get it probably up about three or
Speaker 1: four inches to be able to get those roots covered
Speaker 1: and then have the sod or whatever you're planting go over,
Speaker 1: that and that would be.
Speaker 13: A couple of them are pretty big high up.
Speaker 1: Right, okay so it's been a long. Time, yeah, YEAH i,
Speaker 1: KNOW i know people that'll cut. THEM i know people
Speaker 1: will shave the top. Off but now you got the
Speaker 1: inner wood of the. Root this is going to start
Speaker 1: the cane down there at the ground and, uh it'll
Speaker 1: try to call us over a little, bit probably help
Speaker 1: a little bit with the stability of it for at
Speaker 1: least for a while until the tree can grow some new.
Speaker 1: Roots so there's different. Options there's not a great option for,
Speaker 1: it but that's just how trees. Grow and as a
Speaker 1: soiler roads away and as a root gets, bigger it
Speaker 1: pushes the soil on top of it, off and then
Speaker 1: you got this exposed.
Speaker 13: Roote, okay all, Right SO i called your tree. Guy
Speaker 13: was it affordable? Trees?
Speaker 1: Yes uh huh affordable Tree, yeah, YEAH.
Speaker 13: I call them in A i, Mean i've never heard
Speaker 13: back FROM i was gonna have. Them, well Look i'm
Speaker 13: going to try them.
Speaker 1: Again yeah they're, no they're, Good they're they're they're kind
Speaker 1: of in a holding pattern right. Now and uh, so,
Speaker 1: uh you know it wouldn't you probably wouldn't get the
Speaker 1: calls in right. Now that's just. Something hopefully this will
Speaker 1: be over pretty. Quick but, anyway, yeah but that is
Speaker 1: the BEST i can tell you in terms of taking
Speaker 1: care of.
Speaker 14: IT i get. You, SO i got a.
Speaker 13: CHOICE i can have someone.
Speaker 14: COME i had a guy.

Speaker 1: Tree don't do too, much don't do too much at one,
Speaker 1: time get the worst right, out then get the next.
Speaker 1: One they get, that, yeah uh and or sprinkle sprinkle
Speaker 1: a little soil around and just keep sprinkling it until
Speaker 1: some of the lower ones are kind of covered. Up
Speaker 1: if you don't put too much, soil the grass will
Speaker 1: come through them if there's grass. Underneath so, anyway.
Speaker 13: Right, Right i'm trying to throw. GRASS i, mean that's
Speaker 13: it's getting close to the some of the trunks are
Speaker 13: getting close to the. Foundation that concerns.

Speaker 1: in a glass or something and pour the hot water
Speaker 1: on it and then just let it set. Overnight the

Speaker 1: and then in the morning they're ready to. Plant Sometimes
Speaker 1: i'll pour the water off and just keep enough water
Speaker 1: to keep the seeds moist down to the bottom and
Speaker 1: they'll start to put a root, out and when they

Speaker 1: SO i THINK i may bring you okra for being a. Color,
Speaker 1: thanks thanks a, lot you take. Care all, right let's,
Speaker 1: see let's go To ross In. Galveston, Hello, ross good.
Speaker 2: Morning how are.
Speaker 1: You i'm? Well thank?
Speaker 3: You, WELL i want to get on that. Wrap i'ma
Speaker 3: come out of your house and get that okra first of, all,
Speaker 3: alright you?
Speaker 1: Lie Maybe, YEAH i plant mine a little later than
Speaker 1: normal Because i've got some stuff using the space up
Speaker 1: until we get into late. Spring so, yeah, yeah just
Speaker 1: let me.
Speaker 3: Know i'll come by and bring a.
Speaker 1: Truck, okay what's up In. Galveston i've got.
Speaker 3: A beautiful palm tree that's probably a twenty feet. High
Speaker 3: it looks great on the. Top on the, bottom it's. Rotting,
Speaker 3: okay called butt.
Speaker 1: Rot, yeah what a nice. Name, SORRY i, said, yeah
Speaker 1: what a nice name for.
Speaker 3: SOMETHING i thought the same.
Speaker 22: Thing But i'm trying to say this, thing and EVERYTHING
Speaker 22: i read on the last is dig it up and
Speaker 22: throw it.
Speaker 3: Away BUT i just hate is there ANYTHING i might
Speaker 3: do to try to say that?
Speaker 1: THING i am not aware of anything for that. Situation
Speaker 1: there are different things that could be causing the, decay
Speaker 1: And i'm when it comes to palm, decay a trunk, decay.
Speaker 1: Fungi i'm not an expert on that, one but things
Speaker 1: like ganoderma can attack our other trees and. Stuff but,
Speaker 1: YEAH i don't know of a solution to, that and it's,
Speaker 1: unfortunate but you might want, to you, know if you
Speaker 1: talk to someplace that sells palms and stuff and they
Speaker 1: they're familiar with, it maybe they deal with it a
Speaker 1: little bit more THAN i. Have but my gut is
Speaker 1: that you can leave the tree unless you're really worried
Speaker 1: about falling.
Speaker 3: Over.
Speaker 1: Uh and then if that continues on, it you, know
Speaker 1: that could be a. Problem BUT i don't know a, solution.
Speaker 3: So nothing to slow it, down.
Speaker 14: Not THAT i know.
Speaker 1: Of, No, no there's just not a way to there's
Speaker 1: not a way to get stuff to the to the.
Speaker 1: Problem that's the biggest, issue.
Speaker 3: All, right affects the tree next to.
Speaker 1: It often those decays are stress related or they can
Speaker 1: be wound. Related, also you, know when wherever you make a,
Speaker 1: wound there's a possibility of getting the equivalent of an,
Speaker 1: infection you, know on tissues like. That but keep your trees.
Speaker 1: Healthy and, YEAH i don't. KNOW i don't think it
Speaker 1: just necessarily is going to jump on the tree right
Speaker 1: next to it or.
Speaker 3: Nearby, okay all, right all, right well right, MAN i appreciate.
Speaker 1: It thank you for the. Call appreciate. That let's see,
Speaker 1: here let's go To montgomery and talk To. Marie good, Morning.
Speaker 4: Skip, Hi, SKIP i have a question in regards to
Speaker 4: come and rush or the think you pronounced junk of. Fuses, okay,
Speaker 4: anyway a couple of years AGO i went ahead and
Speaker 4: sunk a couple of pops to, avoid to prevent rather
Speaker 4: the rhizomes from. Escaping, WELL i think that they have
Speaker 4: escaped because it's doing it's, spreading is What i'm. SAYING
Speaker 4: i do enjoy the, plant But i've got to dig
Speaker 4: it up and replace. It So i'm looking for an.
Speaker 4: Evergreen we do have a deer problem in our, subdivision
Speaker 4: so it should be somewhat deer. Resistant it does get
Speaker 4: bright shade or sun fass the, north And i'm looking
Speaker 4: for something that's rather, compact maybe up to three or
Speaker 4: four feet, Tall no bigger than.
Speaker 1: That, okay is?
Speaker 12: That?
Speaker 1: Yeah how much of the hot western sun does it? Get,
Speaker 1: Oh i'm sorry faces? North you said, yes not, much.
Speaker 4: Not not a whole, bunch because it is under somewhat
Speaker 4: of a canopy of a tree and the floor of
Speaker 4: the tree has been trimmed.
Speaker 1: OFF i got.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 1: Okay you know WHAT i would plant is cast iron.
Speaker 1: Plant you can buy cast iron. Plants the standard type
Speaker 1: gets about the heights you're talking, about and there are
Speaker 1: other types that are a little bit. Shorter the cast
Speaker 1: iron plant is, tough you. Know it can it can
Speaker 1: deal with, Drought it can deal with a little bit
Speaker 1: of sign not too much full, sun but it does
Speaker 1: good and deep shade, too. Uh and it spreads slowly over,
Speaker 1: time so you can you, know you can fill in
Speaker 1: between the plants that you planted cast iron plant if
Speaker 1: it starts looking. Ragged you know Those are you familiar
Speaker 1: with what cast iron plant?
Speaker 5: Is? No?
Speaker 1: Okay so it's a it's a leaf blade or a
Speaker 1: leaf petiole that comes out of the ground and then
Speaker 1: there's this, big, tall wide blade on the, leaf, uh
Speaker 1: and it comes up to the height we're talking. About
Speaker 1: and they're, deep deep. Green so when they get to
Speaker 1: looking a little, ragged you can Cut you can go
Speaker 1: in there and prune them out at the ground and
Speaker 1: fresh new leaves will come. Out and if it's a
Speaker 1: big area and you can't hand prune like, that you
Speaker 1: can literally just like cut it all off at the
Speaker 1: ground and a fresh new will come. Out And i've
Speaker 1: had that in my gardens before when lived in a different,
Speaker 1: place and we would just cut it back in the,
Speaker 1: wintertime and Sometimes i'd even cut it back at the
Speaker 1: end of summer if it was looking a little, ragged
Speaker 1: and they come back and be fresh and pretty for the.
Speaker 2: Fall.
Speaker 4: Okay and, side do you have two other recommendations so
Speaker 4: THAT i can Look.
Speaker 1: Okay, YEAH i was so in the cast iron. PLANET
Speaker 1: i think of the, rest there's gonna be evergreen shrub
Speaker 1: shrubs that stay a little, slow a little, lower but
Speaker 1: that is you, know you're gonna have to mulch between.
Speaker 1: Them is that acceptable or?
Speaker 26: Not?
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, absolutely BECAUSE i do WANT i do want
Speaker 4: something up right versus.
Speaker 1: Ttly, OKAY i gotta go pretty quick, here So i'm
Speaker 1: gonna throw you too quick. Out dwarf. Yopan mounting dwarf
Speaker 1: yopan is a good. Idea and then there are some
Speaker 1: hollies that stay real. Small so if you'll go where
Speaker 1: you normally shop for your plants and, say do you
Speaker 1: have a holly that's only about three feet? High that
Speaker 1: would be another option for. You And i'm SURE i
Speaker 1: have to, run BUT i, do but thank you for
Speaker 1: the call and good luck with that. Area, therefore by
Speaker 1: going straight to the, fountains we're going to go out
Speaker 1: and talk To bill In. Conroe Hello, bill there we. Go, Hey,
Speaker 1: hello welcome to Garden. Line thank.
Speaker 3: You quick?
Speaker 17: Question maybe two Real When i'm buying plants in pots
Speaker 17: four inches up to one gallon AND i take them
Speaker 17: out and they've got that root system that's kind of white,
Speaker 17: webbing and there's even more at the. Bottom, sometimes DO
Speaker 17: i try to pull that? Off DO i score? It
Speaker 17: DO i cut the bottom? Off i've heard so many
Speaker 17: different ways to do.
Speaker 1: This, yeah you, know it kind of depends on the,
Speaker 1: plant you, know like a tomato. Plant it's not necessary
Speaker 1: to cut it all, Off but if it was something
Speaker 1: that was going to be a little longer, lived or
Speaker 1: especially shrubs and, trees any roots going around the, container
Speaker 1: you want to cut, them preferably where they come from
Speaker 1: inside and hit the container and then do their turn
Speaker 1: to start around. It and if you cut them and
Speaker 1: put it in the ground within two, weeks you're going
Speaker 1: to have roots forming two or three weeks roots forming
Speaker 1: where you cut, it and it'll it'll it'll naturally just,
Speaker 1: yeah it'll grow in much healthier and. Faster so just.
Speaker 17: Score it down the side would be.
Speaker 1: Good, well if it's if it's small. Roots, yeah if
Speaker 1: it's small, ROOTS i use a box cutter knife because
Speaker 1: that one inch blade and it's like razor. SHARP i
Speaker 1: just cut vertically in about three or four places around the. Plant.
Speaker 1: Uh and that's even true like with the areas that
Speaker 1: have that hair like real netting of roots very important
Speaker 1: for them is a, matter and blueberry is the same.
Speaker 1: Way but for the other plan for the other quest
Speaker 1: part of your, question, YEAH i cut off the bottom
Speaker 1: sometimes that when there's just a whole bunch of tangle
Speaker 1: of roots down, there so.
Speaker 17: Like Like sage Or guardina or Candy Corny.
Speaker 1: Sage sage is not so big of a. Deal but,
Speaker 1: uh The, Guardina, YEAH i would make sure it's it's doing.
Speaker 3: Good, okay real quick.
Speaker 17: Question when they do the first morning, way BECAUSE i
Speaker 17: haven't done it, yet DO i go? Lower i'm usually
Speaker 17: top of these AS i can, Go but, yeah SO i, do.
Speaker 1: Because you got a lot of tan dead grass blades
Speaker 1: out there right, now and, uh and it just to
Speaker 1: kind of clean some of the old not green up
Speaker 1: so the fresh green can come back through and not
Speaker 1: have intermingled dead grass. Blades i'll cut it all AND i, go,
Speaker 1: well is It Saint? Augustine Saint? Augustine, Yep, OKAY i don't.
Speaker 1: KNOW i how low could you? Go is probably real?
Speaker 1: Low BUT i generally go down to about maybe two
Speaker 1: inches or something like, that and that that's enough to
Speaker 1: cut it. BACK i, mean you could go a little
Speaker 1: lower than.
Speaker 12: That.
Speaker 1: Uh there's a term for it called. SCALPING i don't
Speaker 1: like that term because it infers that you're basically cutting
Speaker 1: it off at the. Ground. Uh and With Saint, augustine
Speaker 1: you don't need to do.
Speaker 17: That, yeah, okay, perfect thanks a, Lot thanks.
Speaker 1: For all, right thank, you, sir appreciate you. Call let's
Speaker 1: see here before we get the end the, Show i'm
Speaker 1: probably taking another call or two uh seven to one
Speaker 1: three two one two KTR h seven one three two
Speaker 1: one two kt R. H or for those of you number,
Speaker 1: people fifty eight seventy, four how about we do. That
Speaker 1: Sweet green by nitrofoss is a product that's really. Unique
Speaker 1: first of, all it's a base of molasses with microbial
Speaker 1: activity that has turned it into an eleven percent nitrogen.
Speaker 1: Fertilizer eleven percent. Nitrogen it dissolves fast and all you,
Speaker 1: know carbon sugars. Carbon so when you look at, bacteria
Speaker 1: the good guys in the, soil the good, bacteria they
Speaker 1: love carbon and they just eat it. Up, literally they love.
Speaker 1: It and so for them that sweet green is stimulating their,
Speaker 1: activity and which is a good. Thing and also when
Speaker 1: you stimulate their, activity you're gonna have better, growth better
Speaker 1: health of your. Grass it smells great and you can
Speaker 1: find it at all kinds of places that sell nitropos,
Speaker 1: products for example in Gen To forest down in The
Speaker 1: Richmond rosenberg, AREA m AND D hardware up In cypress
Speaker 1: A Langham Creek hardware where kind Of copperfield where five
Speaker 1: nine comes together With Barker cypress And katie As. Hardware
Speaker 1: another place that you're going to find that's On. Pinoak
Speaker 1: by the, way night fast products like Sweet. Green all,
Speaker 1: right for a launch into some other, Thing i'm going
Speaker 1: to call just about to come in, Here go ahead
Speaker 1: and take. That we're going to talk To jennie From Full. Sure,
Speaker 1: Hey janis welcome To.
Speaker 28: Garden, Hi, hi longtime. Listener, anyway thanks. YOU i have
Speaker 28: a pear tree that's probably about three years, old and
Speaker 28: last year this time it came out beautifully bloom and green,
Speaker 28: leaves and all of a sudden other leaves got dark
Speaker 28: at the end and have them fell. Off it survived
Speaker 28: the rest of the, summer BUT i didn't get any,
Speaker 28: fruit AND i just wonder WHAT I i think that's
Speaker 28: fireblight AND i just don't know WHAT i can do
Speaker 28: to keep it from happy again this.
Speaker 1: Year, now fireblight usually isn't just a leaf. Thing it
Speaker 1: affects the. Branches it can infect through blooms or other.
Speaker 1: Opportunities it gets to move into the branch and you
Speaker 1: have this chocolate brown branch and the leaves don't fall,
Speaker 1: Off they just turn chocolate brown and they hang. There
Speaker 1: and in, fact because there's succulent new, growth it even
Speaker 1: bends over like a shepherd's. Crook you. Know in the,
Speaker 1: end you want to go behind that about six inches
Speaker 1: four to six inches and prune it out and get
Speaker 1: it out of there because it's full of. Bacteria the
Speaker 1: next time the rain comes and, splashes it's going to
Speaker 1: send those bacteria other places on the. Tree so get
Speaker 1: those those strikes of far blight out of. There and
Speaker 1: Then i'll use lyesol because it's, convenient and just spray
Speaker 1: the prunters in between cuts so that you're not carrying
Speaker 1: like that bacteria from one. Cut now you make a
Speaker 1: new cut and you already introduce the bacteria. There that
Speaker 1: is my approach to dealing with. It as far as
Speaker 1: the leaves are, concerned they will row. Back but fireblight
Speaker 1: depending on the, year some years it's just bad other
Speaker 1: years is not so.
Speaker 28: Bad, Uh and then if just BECAUSE i had it
Speaker 28: last year doesn't mean it's the same thing's going to
Speaker 28: happen this.
Speaker 1: Year not to the degree, necessarily you, know but it's out.
Speaker 1: There the variety of, pair not all are equally susceptible to.
Speaker 1: It the fact that you over if you fertilize with
Speaker 1: nitrogen and if you you, know water lot and get
Speaker 1: a lot of, seculent succulent, growth fire blight is more
Speaker 1: likely to strike. That and SO i just, say don't
Speaker 1: don't fertilize a pair with nitrogen because they're going to
Speaker 1: do fine without. It you see pairs in over bit in.
Speaker 28: The yard though with the yard fertilizer probably gets to.
Speaker 1: It, yeah it's going to get some of, that that's.
Speaker 1: True that's a good. Point you can't control. That but
Speaker 1: anyway that that's the. Deal on fire. Blight there is
Speaker 1: a spray for, it but you got to get it
Speaker 1: on ahead of. Time it's an antibiotic spray that you
Speaker 1: spray on the on the. Plants most people don't go
Speaker 1: to that, length but it is available out there in
Speaker 1: garden centers and.
Speaker 28: It doesn't hurt to be the.
Speaker 1: Spray, No, no it's, okay it's it sounds like you
Speaker 1: know one of the ointments you put on a cut
Speaker 1: on your. Arm it's a strepto mice and. Sulfate UH
Speaker 1: i believe is the. Ingredient it's an. Antibiotic but you.
Speaker 1: SPRAYED i gotta, you gotta follow the label and do.
Speaker 4: That.
Speaker 1: Anyway i've never tried using the strupt de ice and sulfate,
Speaker 1: myself but it is the only product on the market
Speaker 1: that will do. That and it's not easy to find
Speaker 1: because most people don't want to use. It they don't
Speaker 1: they don't ask for, it so people don't carry it.
Speaker 28: Much, okay, okay, well thank you very.
Speaker 1: Much, okay appreciate. That, yeah you, bet thanks a. Lot
Speaker 1: appreciate your.
Speaker 19: Call, okay, okay sure bye.
