You can only give up. 25 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.040 And so all it takes is some information. The way 26 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.200 I like to put it is, there are no brown thumbs. 27 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.599 There are uninformed thumbs, and we're going to inform your 28 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.519 thumb here on garden line. You know the reason grandma 29 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.640 could grow anything, you know, it's just like anything she 30 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.480 put in the ground grew well. It's because she just 31 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.200 know how to do it. It's as simple as that. 32 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.400 There's no magic to it. There's no magic. You give 33 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.879 plants what they want to be happy, and they will 34 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.400 make you happy by giving you flowers and fruit and 35 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.439 everything else. So hey, let's turn our landscapes into something 36 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.120 pretty and have some good gardens. For your lawn, for example, 37 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.439 now's the time to do three things in the lawn. 38 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.560 And Nitrofoss kind of got you covered with what they 39 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.519 call their three steps. The text is three step. You 40 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.239 know you do the two step on the dance floor, 41 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.079 the three step in your lawn. That is a fertilizer, 42 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.719 a pre emergent weed control, and a disease prevention product. 43 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.039 The fertilizer is Nitroposs Fall Special Winter Riser. It's a 44 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.439 different blend than we would use in the summer because 45 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.639 it's for helping plants, the grass plant and this case 46 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.080 your lawn grass become heartier for winter and come out 47 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.879 in spring stronger, that's as simple as it is a 48 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.439 special design mix and it works very very well. That's 49 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.719 Nitroposs Fall special. Number two Nitrofos barricade is a pre 50 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.840 emergent herbicide. It helps prevent both grassy and broad leaf 51 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.280 weeds from sprouting this fall and they will get a 52 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.240 low col front and some water and here they come, 53 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.159 So get it down now and barricade will prevent that. 54 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.280 Then next spring you're not dealing with clover and chickweed 55 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.199 and hand betting all those weeds you had last spring 56 00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:01.159 in your yard. Finally, number three Nitrofoss Eagle turf fungicide. 57 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.360 That is a systemach fungicide. Again, you put it down 58 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.639 ahead of time. This is not one where you wait 59 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.680 until you got the big brown patch circles. So you 60 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.560 see takeoff patch taking out your lawn. You put it 61 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.719 down now. Then it soaks in, moves into the tissue, 62 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.360 and when those diseases hit, it's there to prevent them. 63 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.000 Nitrofoss Eagle Turf Fungicide. You're going to find these products 64 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.479 of Fisher's hardware, both the one in Baytown, the one 65 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.680 in Mount Bellevue and Pasadena, and in Laporte as well. 66 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.159 Nitrofoss Texas. Three steps. All right, well, I said, now 67 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:34.840 it's a good time to call in. Here we go, 68 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.919 let's head out to Pearland. We're going to talk to Beverly. 69 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.560 First thing up, Hey Beverly, welcome to garden Line. 70 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:48.120 Thank you, Kip. I have a question about cestrums. I 71 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.800 have five of them. They were doing really well. They're 72 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.520 all about four years old, but then right here in 73 00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.840 the middle of the year, the tops of them started dying. 74 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.599 I mean, you know, every day you'd go out, there 75 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.120 were the new growth, the little sprigs were all dead. 76 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:12.400 So can I cut those back this fall and maybe 77 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.439 they'll come back better in the spring. 78 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.759 Totally yeah, you know, I wouldn't cut past the dead 79 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.600 just to get the dead, the ugly out of there. 80 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.839 We don't want to stimulate growth. You know, when you 81 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.839 prune back a plant, it responds by sprouting new growth. 82 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.360 And we still have warm temperatures, so we don't wanted 83 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.720 to do that because that succulent growth will get burned 84 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.879 by the first freeze. So just cut the dead parts back. 85 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.240 Probably something wrong in the ground too wet to dry, 86 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.120 something damaged roots. I'm not sure exactly what would have 87 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.759 done it. But system is a pretty good plant for 88 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.120 our area, and as you know, it's a wonderful, wonderful 89 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.720 one to have around. So I would just bring the 90 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.959 dead out and then hopefully in spring they'll come out 91 00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:58.720 and be just fine. 92 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.959 Okay, So but in the spring, I don't need to 93 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:03.160 print them back either. 94 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:10.680 Just if you want. Yeah, well, they like you, they 95 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.399 like your place. Quit treating them so nigh. But seriously, 96 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.319 you can cut them back so much as you want. 97 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.839 There's not a specific pruning style for sastrum. It's a 98 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.759 shrub that just you you. You printed as you need to. 99 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.560 If you like the height of them, then leave them 100 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:27.800 that high. If you want to cut them back, you 101 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.639 can cut them back some. But wait until spring to 102 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.720 do that kind of cutting back. 103 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.199 Way until spring. Okay, thank you so much. 104 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.560 I appreciate it, all right, you bet, thank you, Beverly. 105 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.199 I appreciate your call very much. 106 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:40.319 Uh. 107 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.839 I wanted to mention the Buchanans native plants. I'm going 108 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.439 to be out there today. I'm going to be out 109 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.079 there after the show. I'm going to head over there 110 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.000 and get to Buchanans about twelve o'clock. You'll be there 111 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.319 from twelve to two they are having their big shindig today, 112 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.199 and I mean it is unbelievable. There's going to be 113 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.800 all kinds of stuff going on. I mean there's color 114 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.199 stations for kids and painting pumpkins and face painting and 115 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.519 the moon Bounce that they can play in. Jay White 116 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.600 from Texas Gardener Magazine will be out there with me today. 117 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.720 There's a coffee truck and it just goes on and on. 118 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.959 A band called Yopan, which I think is the most 119 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.560 appropriate name for a band in Southeast Texas. Maybe Chinese tallow, 120 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.199 but we don't like Chinese tallis, so we're glad to 121 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.959 have Yopun there. Jess Chef Marchella from the Kitchen will 122 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.120 be there, Medino will be there. Of course, I'll be 123 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.800 there from twelve to two answering your gardening question. So 124 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.560 if you have any samples you want to bring in, 125 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.600 put them in a plastic bag and come by. You 126 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.279 know Buchanans by the way. When you're there, plan on 127 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.839 picking up your pumpkins for the season. They have all 128 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.759 kinds of pump every kind of pumpkin slash gourd you 129 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.240 can imagine for your front porch makeover. It's ready to go, 130 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.399 so you'll be set for Halloween and the whole fall 131 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.720 season there at Buchanans. And while you're out there too, 132 00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.480 I would highly recommend you pick up a hummingbird plant birds. 133 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:01.959 You know they come through in the fall. We have 134 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.560 a number of months of the year here and Buchanans 135 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.480 has got literally dozens of different plants that attract hummingbirds. 136 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.199 Fall is for planting. Why not grab one of their 137 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.240 plants for hummingbirds and get that thing in the ground, 138 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.839 and next year your place will just be even more 139 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.040 of a way station for those cool little birds that 140 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.240 are coming through. I'm going to head now out to Cyprus, 141 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.480 Texas and we're going to talk to Sharon. Hello, Sharon, 142 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.240 Welcome to garden Line, hay Stiff. 143 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.639 I was gifted a set of Good Morning. I was 144 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.839 gifted a set of aggy blue bonnet seeds, and I 145 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.199 need to know when to plant them and how to 146 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:41.800 plant them. 147 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.959 You plant them now, you get some bare soil area 148 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.680 as much as you can. You know, they don't want 149 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.279 a lot of competition. Scratch the soil up with like 150 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.680 a you know, a rake or hoe or some just 151 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.519 kind of break the surface, scatter the seeds out rake 152 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.240 it a little bit, and watermen really good keep it 153 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.120 moist if it doesn't rain. So the best blue bonnet 154 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.800 stands or years where we have good fall rains, because 155 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.560 that's when they're getting their sprouting and getting the roots 156 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.560 in the ground, and that's the most important thing. Once 157 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.319 they get established, then you don't really really need to 158 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:19.040 worry about them so much. But they're pretty easy to grow. 159 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.839 Just give them a sunny spot. Bluebonnets want as much 160 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.800 sun as you can give them. 161 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.480 Okay, I don't have to soak I was reading maybe 162 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.199 soak the seef beforehand. I don't need to do that. 163 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.440 You can to speed germination. But if you're going to 164 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.720 do that, you would just put them in very hot 165 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:44.799 water inside the evening before and that warm water. It 166 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.840 makes the water being warm, it makes the water soak 167 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.000 up faster, and let it sit all overnight and then 168 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.200 in the morning pour the water off. I usually put 169 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.639 them on a cloth or towel just to kind of 170 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.720 dry them off just a little bit, because they're easier 171 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.320 to handle when they're not wet. They don't stick together 172 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.200 as much, and then you can scatter them as you want, 173 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.519 plant them and then water them in again. And remember 174 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.080 keep them wet, especially for the first couple of weeks. 175 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.039 Just a little bit of moisture to keep them wet. 176 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.039 Okay, okay, all right, you're awesome, skipp thanks so much. 177 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.360 Well, thank you, and then send me a picture of 178 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.679 the planting so I can start singing the Aggie Warham 179 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.399 as tears streamed down my cheeks. 180 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.960 Thank you, sir, Oh you and my kids both. 181 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.559 All right, appreciate your. 182 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:30.240 Kids so much. 183 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.759 You bet bye bye, all right, we're going to go 184 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:38.919 to break folks, We'll be right back. Bring me all right, 185 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.840 good morning. I thought i'd play that first thing this morning. Hey, 186 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:44.679 we are glad you're listening to guarden Line. Thanks for 187 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.000 being with us. I really appre I do appreciate that. 188 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.320 It makes it a lot more fun when you're in 189 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.200 listening and we can answer questions and have a good time. 190 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.679 You know, anytime you need supplies. And I talk about 191 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.919 all these products all the time on Guardline. Things that 192 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.799 I believe in companies that I've used, the companies that 193 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.080 I know their product or I've seen the research on it. 194 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.679 And where do you get them? Well, Ace Hardware is 195 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.639 where you get them. There's forty Ace Hardware stores in 196 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.320 the Greater Houston area forty that's a lot. I'm pretty 197 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.639 sure if you walked outside, close your eyes and throw 198 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:15.559 a rock, you'd hit an Ace Hardware store. No matter 199 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.159 where you live, they're everywhere. Don't by the way, don't 200 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.320 throw rocks at a sardware store. But if you need 201 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.679 your fertilizers for fall, if you need I was just 202 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.799 talking about those Nitrofis products. They carry all the brands, 203 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.080 and they carry the products for controlling diseases. They're controlling 204 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.200 insects and pests. Do you want to decorate your patio? 205 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.559 You know it's going to cool off now, and the 206 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.200 evenings are a great time to be out there. They 207 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.480 can turn your patio into something magical. All at Ace Hardware. 208 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.840 It's time to do fire ants too. By the way, 209 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.320 fire ant baits now now, now get those out. Ace 210 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.240 Hardware's got you covered. Just go to Ace Hardware dot 211 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.200 com and find the store locator, find the ones near you. 212 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.159 You need to check it out. Every time I go 213 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.159 into an Ace Hardware store, I'm impressed, and I really 214 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.080 mean that. They're into leon so each one's a little different. 215 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.039 They still have all the standard stuff. So when I 216 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.279 make my statements about Ace, they're true of all the 217 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.840 Ace Hardware stores, but each one is unique and you'll 218 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.360 see things it's like I didn't know they had that here. 219 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.080 I promise you will go to Ace Hardware and check 220 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.559 it out. I'm going to head up to camp Logan 221 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.799 now and talk to Ron. Hey, Ron, welcome to guarden Line. 222 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.120 Hey, good morning up, thanks for taking my call. About 223 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.440 ten minutes ago. Sent you a picture of my improved 224 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:34.879 my livon true. I got it, okay, you could say 225 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.360 it's about seven feet tall, probably about six seven feet 226 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.240 dam or. My question is it's making now and everything 227 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.080 is great, but I'm looking forward to the winner, and 228 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.240 I wanted your opinion on when exactly to print it, 229 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.960 if I should, and then how much I should prove it. 230 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.200 Yeah. Well, printing is a stimulating process, and anything that's 231 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.759 semi tender, like a ctris, we don't want to stimulate 232 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.399 new growth because it was more likely to get damaged 233 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.120 about cold. I would leave it for now and just 234 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.840 let it slow down, let the weather cool off, let 235 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.600 it slow down and everything. When you're gonna have to 236 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.360 cover it and we're likely to have that, I would 237 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:18.639 get me some of those long half inch gray PVC 238 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:23.039 pipes and make create basically an IgG glue over it. 239 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.000 In other words, you know a pipe that arches over 240 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.720 from north to south, and yeah, and they have the 241 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.799 gray have belt ends, so you can slide one piece 242 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.320 of pipe into the other one without having to glue anything. 243 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.240 And that's what I would do. And then get you 244 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.399 some lamps. Some they can be heat lamps, but even 245 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.879 just a good one hundred and fifty watt bulb is helpful. 246 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.840 I get those on the little clamps with the aluminum shield, 247 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.679 you know what I'm talking about. Put those attached those 248 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.360 I see you got a little box around the bottom. 249 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.440 Attach them to that box and point them down. Don't 250 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.440 point them at the tissues of the tree. You can 251 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.000 burn those underneath a plastic cover, something that doesn't air, 252 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.360 doesn't let air move through. You can really make a 253 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.000 big difference in temperature underneath there on a very very 254 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:09.559 cold night. 255 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.360 Great and into spring, I mean like some march or so, 256 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.639 should I go ahead and prune it? And it's so 257 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.200 how much? 258 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.159 Yeah? 259 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.000 I would? You know, so you got turf around that 260 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.120 side so you could mow around it. Those low hanging ones, 261 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.000 you probably need to get those out of the way, 262 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:34.200 and just there's not a real system for pruning that tree. 263 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.120 It's just a matter of when you got that much 264 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.399 lanky growth and you get some lemons on it, it's 265 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.039 going to pull everything towards the ground. So just kind 266 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.080 of pruning as needed. Maybe be willing to prop a 267 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.240 few things up to get you through a harvest season 268 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.120 if you need to. But those trees tend to throw 269 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.080 off extra fruit and not carry too terribly many. They 270 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:59.919 set a lot more than they normally will carry. Okay, okay, great, 271 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.320 thank you, stef. I appreciate it. Well, you bet you, 272 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.960 bet Ron. Thanks thanks for that question. I appreciate that 273 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:06.559 very much. 274 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:07.080 Uh. 275 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.919 Moss Nursery done in Seabrook. I haven't talked about them 276 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.240 in a while.

You'll never want to come out of their 282 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.000 houseplant greenhouse. It's unbelievable. It's outstanding. 283 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:30.600 Uh. 284 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.759 Moss Nursery is down on Toddville Road in Seabrook, Texas. 285 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:36.879 You can look it up.

I'm gonna head up to Oak Forest now 307 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.759 and talk to Mike. Hey, Mike, welcome to garden Line 308 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:46.600 A good morning, Skip. 309 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.960 Yes, I'm Mike and I live in Oak Forest and 310 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.919 I have an issue with an infestation of a weed. 311 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.320 And I know that's a common theme on your show. 312 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:04.440 I used a an app, a picture this app called 313 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.879 It's a Plant identify Er app, and I took pictures 314 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.559 and I sent some to you as well. And the 315 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.679 plant I believe is called arrow leaf Sieda. It's it's 316 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.600 really kind of like a miniature bond said tree that's 317 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.080 like about an inch high and really really naughty, thick, 318 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:28.120 weedy or shrubbery, shrubbery like not. So you have to 319 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:31.480 like pull it out and it's a mechanical process and 320 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:32.759 it's and it's all over the. 321 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.360 I know it. It's it's like it's made out of 322 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.799 out of iron wire or something. It is tough. 323 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.360 Yes, yes, it absolutely, And so it hasn't taken over 324 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.480 the whole yard or anything. It's mainly in the back, 325 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.039 but it's starting to creep into the front and I 326 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.440 treated it a couple of years ago with a weed 327 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.799 meter Ultra, which was a broad leaf killer. 328 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.600 It did. It just wilted a little bit. 329 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.039 And then it kind of came back. But I have 330 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.759 a yard full of Saint Augustine grass and I don't 331 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.039 want to kill the grass, and I don't want to 332 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.519 hurt the surrounding trees. I live in oaklorus, so I 333 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:13.079 have a few oak trees. So I'm looking for something 334 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:15.680 that will get rid of this product once and for all. 335 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:17.440 I get rid of the weed once. 336 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.119 All right, here's what you Yeah, here's what you need 337 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.880 to do. The weed beater alter won't do it. It's 338 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.440 got an ingredient called a camba in it that can 339 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.799 help with ceda. But it's also called by the way, 340 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:33.759 tea weed, interestingly enough, but it doesn't have enough of it. 341 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.799 It's made for wimpier weeds. This one is tough. And 342 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.960 if you look for ceda in lawns online, you're just 343 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.839 not going to find almost nothing. It's like it's not 344 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.599 a lawn weed to the turf people around the country, 345 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:53.599 but it can be. And it's tough to control anything that. 346 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:58.680 What I would recommend is a product called Southern ag. 347 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.880 That's the company other NAG Basigran, and I'm gonna spell 348 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:08.440 it b A s A g r A n Bassigran. 349 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.519 Now it's sold for sedge control, but it'll also work 350 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:17.359 pretty good on the SEDA, and so I would use that. 351 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:20.720 It's labeled for Saint Augustine and it has SEDA, one 352 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.079 of the sedas on its label. There's more than one 353 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.599 Sieda too. They're very similar, but more than one. I 354 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:28.599 would use that, and I would spot treat it. And 355 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.039 if it were in my yard, I would either water 356 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.680 or after a rain when the soil is soft, I 357 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:36.920 would do some hand pulling because it's coming out of 358 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.519 one spot and it's a little easier to get out 359 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.039 when it's like that. It's not it does want to 360 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:44.880 break off. You gotta grab it down low. But if 361 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.880 you can do some of that, that's helpful. But the 362 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.079 Basigrand as a spot spray is what I would recommend. 363 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.000 Okay, And where can I get the bassigram? 364 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.960 I would try an ACE hardware store in your area 365 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.880 you are located forest, you know. I would also try 366 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:09.359 Southwest Fertilizer on bisin ut and Runwick Southwest Fertilizer on 367 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:13.880 the corner of busin Ut and Runwick. Bob carries everything there. 368 00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.480 I mean he carries stuff that nobody has, so he 369 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.759 probably call him first, but he probably has it in stock. 370 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.720 If he doesn't, I bet he can get it. Okay, Okay, 371 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:30.079 So spot Tree, there are some other approaches with the 372 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.960 bass ground, I would try that. There are some other things, 373 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.000 but everything has its caveats, and I think i'd start 374 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.960 with the BASSI ground. If you have trouble with that, 375 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.519 let me know. We can try some other approaches, but 376 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.519 I think that's probably the best first shot. 377 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.640 Okay, Okay, Well, thank you, Skip. I appreciate it. 378 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.759 Hey, thank you, you bet, thank you, thank you for 379 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.759 the call. I appreciate that very much.

Hey Kim, 451 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:38.240 welcome to garden Line. 452 00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:40.200 Good morning, Skip. 453 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.240 I have a question about a Camelia japonica. It's been 454 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.559 in in the ground about a year now, and a 455 00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:50.359 few weeks ago I noticed some ground patches on some 456 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.640 of the leaves, and I suspect their sunburn because they're 457 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.960 only on the side that gets exposure to sun for 458 00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:58.640 a few hours a day. 459 00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.519 But I wanted a second on that. 460 00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:03.440 Did you send me a picture of that? 461 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:04.720 Yes? 462 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:05.119 I did? 463 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.759 Did you send Yeah? I remember seeing that. That is sunburn, Kim. 464 00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.079 And you know, did you remove anything that may have 465 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.240 been partially shading that plant in the last year. 466 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.000 So the oak tree that shades it has had some 467 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.559 leaf loss over the past few months and also some 468 00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.680 branches that were damaged as part of the storms that 469 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.440 we had this year. 470 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:35.400 I got you, okay, well that that would explain it. 471 00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:38.400 It's not a big problem the camelle. You will adjust 472 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:42.200 and be just fine. But because of where it's located 473 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.359 on the leaves and which leaves it's located on, that 474 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:47.640 is not a disease or an insect or anything for 475 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:48.400 you to worry about. 476 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:52.880 Okay, perfect, That's what I wanted to just confirm. Hey, 477 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:58.279 can I ask you your opinion checked? Can I ask 478 00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.599 you your opinion on using com post as a maulch. 479 00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:09.160 It's fine. It is very fine textured, so it blocks 480 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.440 the light very well. But it's also a good medium 481 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:15.039 for seeds to grow in. So if little seeds land 482 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.960 in it, they're going to just sprout in the compost itself, 483 00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:21.920 whereas a chunkier malts it's a little thicker. You know, 484 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.759 they're going to kind of fall down in there and 485 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.240 and what not. But there's nothing wrong with using composts 486 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.079 as a mult Every time it rains, it's just like 487 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.759 the nutrients and the composts percolate out, just like you're 488 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:37.400 making coffee in the morning. You just dribble the rain 489 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.160 water irrigation right through the compost and it percolates out 490 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.599 the nutrients. So it has the benefit of that as well. 491 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.599 Perfect all right, Well, I really appreciate your taking my 492 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:51.319 call this morning. 493 00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.240 You bet, thanks for being patient. Glad to have you 494 00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:57.400 here on Guardenline. You take care, thank you. 495 00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:57.759 Ye. 496 00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:01.519 A compost is a compost is that's an interesting, you 497 00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:04.440 know thing that has so many different uses. You know, 498 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.680 it's almost like the answer to everything is compost. Have 499 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.640 you ever noticed that you just need compost? Put composts 500 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:13.319 in the soil whatever. It fixes everything, and it kind 501 00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:16.119 of does, you know. Compost takes a sandy soil that 502 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.759 the water nutrients run right through. Sand is just like 503 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.920 broken glass. Basically on a microscopic level, nothing sticks to 504 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.960 sand much and it makes it whole water and nutrients 505 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.640 better like little sponges in the broken glass of sand. 506 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.480 A clay soil that's heavy and doesn't drain well, compost 507 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.519 helps those particles to form clumps, so the water and 508 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.759 air moved through it better as well. So compost fixes everything. 509 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:43.319 We're talking about. Fees source while ago.

Have 546 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.400 you noticed any knots on the roots of any plants? 547 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:44.440 No? 548 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:45.240 I have knocked. 549 00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:50.359 Okay, then you could use you could use regular rye 550 00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:53.640 that you oversee the lawn with. That's fine. We use 551 00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.680 a cereal, a grain type rye. The variety LBoN is 552 00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:01.160 what's most often so locally and feed stores and things, 553 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:06.240 but to help manage nematode problems. But it also grows 554 00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.880 and produces the biomass that you can turn under the 555 00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:12.400 soil to build the soil and protect the soil. But 556 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:14.240 either one would be fine. If you're not dealing with 557 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.599 nemotoad's either one. Some people will plant a cover crop 558 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:20.279 of something like mustard out there and turn that under 559 00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:23.880 the soil as well. But what about any way you 560 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:29.319 want to go about it, the cereal rye, the grain. Yeah, 561 00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.400 the grain type of rye. The one I mentioned is 562 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.799 h it's l bond e LB O N and the 563 00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:39.119 nemetoads go in the roots and they can't reproduce and 564 00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:40.119 they die, they don't. 565 00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:40.559 You know. 566 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.559 It's a it slowly is reducing numbers and nematods. But 567 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.240 it's going to be upright like oats and wheat. You know, 568 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.119 it's an upright grain crop, and so you have to 569 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:56.039 mow it down. It's not like the overseating your lawn rye. 570 00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.000 That's just a little turf grass kind of thing. So 571 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:00.359 either one is fine, sir. 572 00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:03.359 It wouldn't hurt to be prepared for them until then, 573 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.119 just go with that cerial rilee yourself. 574 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:09.559 Yeah, it wouldn't hurt either way. And sometimes I'll have 575 00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:11.799 it and I'll just kind of crimp it over, you know, 576 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.680 you can. You can mash it down over and I 577 00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:16.640 just plant right through it and it sort of becomes 578 00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:20.640 a mulch. In the spring too. So anyway, either way 579 00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:21.400 you want to go about it. 580 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:22.960 Where do you get that? 581 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:27.160 Yeah, it's like the no tilt. Uh, let's see you 582 00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:30.400 are up in Magnolia. I you know, I would call 583 00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:36.000 Why don't you call the Spring Creek Feed up there 584 00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:40.160 in the Magnolia area and see if they have it 585 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.240 or if they can if they can get it. I 586 00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:45.960 think that would be That's what I would That's where 587 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:51.759 I would start. If you're if you're not able, good 588 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.880 and if you're not able to find them there, you 589 00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.440 might try not too far away from you over on 590 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:58.359 the west side of tom Ball's D and D feed 591 00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:00.960 they may have it as well. But those two places 592 00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:02.000 is where I would start. 593 00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.480 Okay, buddy, all right, I'm I'm gonna have to run. 594 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:09.640 Thank you, sir.

They glow in the fall. 606 00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:49.400 Because spider mites do not thrive in the fall. Their 607 00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.480 populations are crashing now on spider mites. We're not worried 608 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.839 about them like we are in the summer. People plant 609 00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:56.759 marigoles in the summer.

I've spent a couple of 639 00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:34.559 years bringing my yard back from my killing. 640 00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:34.680 It with a. 641 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.640 Uh this, I lost this. 642 00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:45.319 Uh sir, I lost you for a second. Go ahead, 643 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:46.000 I got you back. 644 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:52.039 Okay, great, I was forbad to put down the winter 645 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.960 risers schedule, and man, my dog will rescue a chicken 646 00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.720 out the side of the road. So now I have 647 00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:59.640 one of those backyard chickens you were just talking about 648 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:03.240 advertisement just a while back, and now I'm wondering, I 649 00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:09.119 can't use that not your fall pre step, so I 650 00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:10.840 need to is there is there something I can do 651 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.079 to keep that chicken from croaking after I put you 652 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.639 on something put down the treatment or some of treatment. 653 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:21.320 Well, yeah, I've never I've never had a I've never 654 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.079 had a question about a backyard chicken and fertilizers and 655 00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.079 pesticides like that. That's a that's a good one. Uh well, 656 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:28.280 I mean, if you want to be if you want 657 00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:30.480 to be extra safe. Nitro Fuss does have something called 658 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.800 sweet Green that's normally when we put on in the summertime. Right, 659 00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.039 it's an eleven zero four, So I wouldn't recommend it 660 00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:43.239 as a fall fertilizer, but you could use Microlife's brown pat. 661 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.000 It's called Microlife brown Patch it's in a brown bag. 662 00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:49.480 It's a five to one three fertilizer and that would 663 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.000 do that would do very very good for you. And 664 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.159 you're gonna find it down at your ace hardware. They're 665 00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.719 in pairland, they're going to have that for life. 666 00:34:56.679 --> 00:35:01.199 Brown okay and probably but probably no pre pre emergency either. 667 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:01.440 Huh. 668 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:07.920 Well, for the pre emergence. From an organic end, what 669 00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:11.679 we have to do is either use something called corn 670 00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:16.039 gluten meal, which I bet the chicken likes, but it's 671 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:20.559 kind of hidden miss. Yeah, it's hidden, miss, But you'd 672 00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:24.400 put it down and you water it in and it 673 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.239 can work on some weeds and the right conditions. And 674 00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:29.559 I won't go into details on it, but basically, we 675 00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:33.320 get too much rain and the way that product works, 676 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.480 if it keeps getting wet, it's not going to be 677 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:40.480 as effective. So that's where for an organic standpoint, we 678 00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:45.119 just focus on cultural practices that increase turf density, which 679 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.559 is mowing, watering, and fertilizing. So you can build your 680 00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:51.920 way out of a weed problem by building a denser 681 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:55.159 turf by proper mowing, watering, and fertilizing. And by the way, 682 00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:57.719 if you go online to gardening with skip dot com 683 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:02.000 The Pest Disease and Eat Schedule and the lawn Schedule 684 00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:06.039 both have organic alternative options on them. So just go 685 00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.159 go find my schedules online and it's all right there, 686 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:14.880 we'll do okay, well, good, thanks for the call man. 687 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:15.320 Good. 688 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:24.400 Yeah, I have fun with that chicken. Bye. That's good. 689 00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:29.199 Speaking of birds, Wabird's unlimited. Oh my gosh, will they 690 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.880 ever take care of you when it comes to every 691 00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:33.599 kind of feed you need. By the way that your 692 00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.639 chicken would like any birds seed that drops out of 693 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:38.719 the feeder, But well, wabirds, that doesn't happen. You know 694 00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.800 why because wabirds has no messed blends that you can purchase, 695 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.719 and they have blends. All their blends are what the 696 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:49.480 birds want to eat. Those old red beabies and cheap 697 00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:51.559 bird seed birds kick them out. They don't eat that. 698 00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:55.000 That's not that's like putting. That's like putting Brussels sprouts 699 00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:56.920 on my plate. I'm gonna kick it off on the floor. 700 00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:59.360 I'm not going to eat it. But I know some 701 00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:02.519 of you like that. But wildbird stuff is stuff birds like. 702 00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:05.559 Right now, wildbirds they have their annual feeder swap and 703 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:07.760 this is so cool. I saw a picture, and it 704 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.679 is this pile of old bird feeders that people are 705 00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:13.519 brought in. You bring your old bird feeder in, I 706 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:16.079 don't care what condition it's in. You bring in. Trade 707 00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:19.079 in your old bird feeder twenty percent off a new 708 00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.559 bird feeder. And we're entering the cool season when we 709 00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:23.440 want to be out there feeding our birds as if 710 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.199 we didn't all year anyway, any feeder you bring in 711 00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:30.760 twenty percent off at all six wild Birds locations.

If you haven't been there, 754 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:54.719 you need to crawl out from under a rock and 755 00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:58.079 go find that place because you have never seen anything 756 00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:03.239 like it. It is a wonderland. Their display gardens are gorgeous. 757 00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:08.400 They have plants that you this bit this way. When 758 00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:10.800 you go to Arburgate and you see a plant number one, 759 00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:12.639 there's a chance you may not have seen it anywhere 760 00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:15.320 else because they do a great job of bringing in 761 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:18.280 some really cool and new ones. But they also do 762 00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:21.719 an outstanding job of making sure what they bring in 763 00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:24.360 is stuff that's going to grow here, and then they've 764 00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:25.880 got the expertise to go with it. 765 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:26.400 You know. 766 00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:28.599 I talk all the time about the fact that it's 767 00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:33.480 so important to support our independent nurseries because they live here, 768 00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:36.199 they grow here. They don't order stuff to go to 769 00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:39.519 stores all over the country. In some big box where 770 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:44.239 you're getting sold black raspberries and Tomball Texas in Houston, Texas, 771 00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:46.960 which don't grow. Here, you got people that know what 772 00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:49.800 they're doing and they grow. They bring in the plants 773 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:53.400 you need to have success and Arbigate they're experts. I'm 774 00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:57.280 telling you that I've visited with Beverly Ken and a 775 00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.880 lot of the staff there. They know what they're talking about. 776 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.039 And when you walk in, your jaw's going to drop 777 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:06.159 because it's always gorgeous and beautiful. Their gift shops are outstanding, 778 00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:09.079 their fault color is outstanding. I mean I could just 779 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:11.000 go on and on all day. You need to go 780 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:14.639 to Arbrogate if you haven't been there, Arborgate dot com. 781 00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.000 Arburgate dot com.

They've got 784 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:24.880 a great old weather parking lot back there, and they 785 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:28.079 are stocked up and ready for fall, and every season 786 00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:32.320 it's just new wonderful things coming in.

Gardeners like 794 00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:58.519 to hang out together. Let's go to George now in 795 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:01.360 Jersey Village. Hey, George, welcome to garden. 796 00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:04.119 Good morning, Good morning Skip. I'll just listening to your 797 00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:07.159 your Arborgate advertisement. They sell your plants that are going 798 00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:09.960 to grow by in my yard and stuff like that, 799 00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:13.159 or they just very pretty for display something like that. 800 00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:17.039 Oh my gosh. No, they have gorgeous plants that will 801 00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:19.719 grow here. And if you have issue with the plant, 802 00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:21.679 I mean, you go into Arburgate shopping. Maybe it's a 803 00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:23.199 plane you didn't buy there. You just said, hey, I 804 00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.320 got this plant that's doing this. They'll help you with it. 805 00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:26.239 They'll help you with it. 806 00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:30.000 Okay. So my question is, and the resolve of dispute 807 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:33.079 for me about how deep your plant the seed. I'd 808 00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:35.320 heard that depends on the size of the seed. Like 809 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.760 the little bed seeds like poppies. They can put them 810 00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:39.480 a sprinkle them across the top of the ground and 811 00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:43.719 sprinkle dirt on top of them. Bigger seeds like peppers, 812 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:45.679 hot peppers you got to put on people like half 813 00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:48.599 inchs in the ground something like that. What what do 814 00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:48.920 you know? 815 00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:53.159 Okay, now now you know I'm I'm I'm getting alarmed here. 816 00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:55.559 You said you're an argument. Isn't with your wife? 817 00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:55.880 Is it? 818 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:02.559 I'm not gonna tell you, smart man, I was going 819 00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:04.800 to tell you because if it was, you know, gardening 820 00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.679 advice is free. Marriage counseling is three hundred dollars an hour. 821 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:08.719 So I don't know how you. 822 00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.519 Want to go now, Seriously, seeds in general, in general, 823 00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.000 when in doubt, plan a seed about three to four 824 00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:18.880 times it's with deep so a pento bean. You know, 825 00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.320 just take a simple, big old seed that's going to 826 00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:24.679 go about half inch three quarters of an inch or 827 00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:28.000 so down in the ground. Something small like a poppy seed. 828 00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.840 You're not even really partly bearing it. You're scratching it 829 00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:33.119 in and pressing it. There are a few seeds that 830 00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:36.599 need light. Lettuce and carrots typically or better put on 831 00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:40.000 the surface and just watered in, really pressed to the 832 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:42.079 surface and watered in really good because they need a 833 00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:44.480 little bit of light. But that's the exception. Most seeds 834 00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:46.400 want to be buried about three to four times are. 835 00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:51.239 With deep Okay, answer the informans, all right, thanks. 836 00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:54.679 A lot, all right, good, thank you, thank bye bye. 837 00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.599 Have fun yeah, okay, we got to have some fun 838 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:03.719 here on line right. Microlife fertilizer. Someone called me earlier 839 00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:06.000 and was talking about lawns and they got a chicken 840 00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:10.360 in the backyard and they want a fertilizer that's inorganic 841 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:13.760 for the in case chicken picks it up. Well, Microlife, 842 00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:17.320 that's that's what you can do. Microlife has a wide 843 00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:21.880 variety of products that are all natural loaded with microbes. 844 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.119 They understand that microbes rule the world and when it 845 00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:30.800 comes to plants especially, microbes are essential for healthy plants. 846 00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:34.639 We have just scratched the surface on learning how important 847 00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:38.360 microbes are and all the things they do. They fight disease, 848 00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:42.840 you know, they fend off, they outcompete other other organisms 849 00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:44.960 on the surface of a plant that might want to 850 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:49.440 attack that plant. So things like micro grow bioanoculant, you 851 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:51.159 can put that out. It comes in a bag, comes 852 00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.199 in the clear jars as well. You put that on 853 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:56.519 on your lawn when you do your fall fertilizing. That's 854 00:44:56.559 --> 00:45:00.400 what I would recommend to the Microlife brown Patch. Microlife 855 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:02.639 brown Patch. It's a five to one to three fertilizer. 856 00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:05.840 That's your fall fertilizer for microlife. Then do the micro 857 00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:09.880 grow bioinoculant. Spread it also. Don't mix them together, spread 858 00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:11.400 them separate leabag. You can do it the same day 859 00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:15.320 and then watered in. And the micro grow has sixty 860 00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:19.199 three different beneficial microorganism strains in it. And these are 861 00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:23.320 things that do fight against disease issues. They are out 862 00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:26.480 compete disease issues. Microlife's got it all. You can find 863 00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:29.519 Microlife lots of places. You can go to Microlifefertilizer dot 864 00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:32.599 com if you want to find their sources. But I 865 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:35.840 can just tell you this, it's everywhere. It's easy, easy 866 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.639 to find, and the stuff works. I've used it myself. 867 00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:43.440 I know that it works. I wanted to talk about 868 00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:45.719 trees a little bit. Someone was talking earlier about their 869 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:48.559 camella that's getting some sunburn, and they said they had 870 00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:50.880 some tree damage in the storm and now more suns 871 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.719 coming through. We had a lot of tree damage. In fact, 872 00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:56.840 I'm surprised there's a living tree in Houston after the 873 00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:59.119 hurricane and the other horrible storm that we had that 874 00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:03.440 knocked out powerful couple weeks.

If you're gonna do any changes in your 903 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:25.119 landscape around the tree, anywhere within the branch spread of 904 00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:27.960 the tree, or even beyond, let him look first, let 905 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.880 him come out and consult first, because you can do 906 00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:32.239 a lot of damage when you don't do it right, 907 00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:34.000 and he can tell you how to do it right. 908 00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:36.880 We're gonna now go. Let's him know. I'm gonna really 909 00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:38.719 go to a commercial right now.

I love our 921 00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:18.719 mum and pop garden centers because they just they just 922 00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:21.320 make things special, and I really mean that. For example, 923 00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.519 at Channa Gardens right now, they got their pumpkin house. 924 00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:25.159 If you've never seen it, you got to go buy. 925 00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:28.119 It's a house in the wall.

They got places that you can 927 00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:33.639 do your photos where you stand in front of like 928 00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:36.239 a giant butterfly or something like that to take photos. 929 00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.039 Bring the kids out, have some fun, bring your friends.

But I 941 00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:08.239 would just say check it out and learn do some 942 00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:12.360 do it yourself. It's fun as always. Whatever the season 943 00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:15.000 has in store, they've got it in in Chanted Gardens. 944 00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:18.440 That includes a fall color that includes beautiful decorations for 945 00:49:18.599 --> 00:49:22.079 Halloween and the whole fall season.

Here's the website. You need to go to 950 00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:44.760 the website Enchented Gardens Richmond dot com. Enchanted Gardens Richmond 951 00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:48.119 dot com. We're now going to the Woodlands and we're 952 00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:50.639 going to talk to Tammy. Hello, Tammy, Welcome to garden Line. 953 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.039 Hi Skip, good morning. I'm calling for a friend who 954 00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:59.280 has the backyard that is it's all weed. I couldn't 955 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:02.119 even find it. The runners of Saint Augustine in there, 956 00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.000 and she wants to put Saint Augustine down and My 957 00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:09.360 question is, and I can't remember, is this a good 958 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:11.960 time to do it, say, in the next month, or 959 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:14.800 would she would it be better for her to wait 960 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:17.559 until the spring, some time after the new year, And 961 00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:20.159 if so, you know what time period would you recommend 962 00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:21.480 to have sad sit down? 963 00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:23.559 Yeah? 964 00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:27.719 I would wait. You can plant sod pretty much any 965 00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:30.280 month of the year, but when we get further and 966 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:33.079 further into fall, the root growth slows down a lot. 967 00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:35.239 So if you were going to do it now, you 968 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.679 need to do it immediately. But if she's got a 969 00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:41.679 big weed problem and there are any perennial weeds, you 970 00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:43.480 need to get rid of those before you put the 971 00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:45.639 sod down. So if you were putting it on Saint 972 00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:48.559 Augustine and you had bermuda grass which is a perennial weed, 973 00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:51.119 or nuts edge or things like that, it's better to 974 00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:54.519 eradicate those and then lay your sod. Now, if it's 975 00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:56.559 all annual weeds, all you got to do is scrape 976 00:50:56.599 --> 00:50:58.119 it off or spray it and kill it and put 977 00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:01.840 the sod down on the soil and you're okay. But 978 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:04.280 this may be a good time to start killing the 979 00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:07.960 perennial weeds that are there. Any low areas to fill 980 00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:13.199 them in. Randy used to talk about kill till phil process, 981 00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:15.639 where you know, you get rid of the perennials, you 982 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:18.000 til things up. You're fill in any low spots to 983 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:20.360 level it all off, and then when you put the 984 00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:22.639 new side in, it's ready to go. And by the 985 00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:26.360 time we get to sometime later in March, it'll be 986 00:51:26.440 --> 00:51:28.800 warming up enough for the roots to begin to grow 987 00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:31.079 and for the sod to go down really well. And 988 00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:33.360 the warmer it gets, the happier the sod gets when 989 00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:34.639 it comes to rooting quickly. 990 00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:38.800 Okay, well, she's helping to sellar home in March, so 991 00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:40.360 that might be a little late. 992 00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.800 Well, then, Ques, she needs to go out there and roto. 993 00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:47.480 She needs to go out and roto till it now 994 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:50.559 and get some side down right now, just like this 995 00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:54.199 week if possible, to give it the best chance, because 996 00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:56.519 that way, coming out in the spring, it'll look better. 997 00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:01.199 Okay, there's a part of the yard it's really shady. 998 00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:05.599 She wants Saint Augustine for the part that gets more sun. 999 00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:10.039 What type of grass grows in a more shady area 1000 00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:11.280 is that bring to. 1001 00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:16.320 No, Saint Augustine is the most shade tolerant, and so 1002 00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:18.920 it is. I would go ahead and get the same. 1003 00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:22.800 If it's a deciduous shade, then as she plants it now, 1004 00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:26.440 it'll get light through the wintertime. Our grass doesn't go 1005 00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:29.400 fully dormant. Saint Augustine doesn't go fully dormant in the winter, 1006 00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:34.679 and so it will do okay until the leaves come out, 1007 00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.079 and then sometime next summer it may start struggling if 1008 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.079 there's too much shade. But other than trimming out some 1009 00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:42.599 tree limbs to brighten it up, that's about all that's 1010 00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:43.280 in her power. 1011 00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.639 Okay, perfect, awesome, Well, thank you so much, really helpful. 1012 00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:49.559 Bye. 1013 00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:54.000 Yeah, thanks, appreciate the call. Bye bye. When I talk 1014 00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:57.800 about supplies, I talked to somebody earlier today about Southwest 1015 00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:01.159 Fertilizer being the place to go for it everything. Southwest 1016 00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:05.440 Fertilizer has every product you could possibly need for your lawn, garden, 1017 00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:09.519 your landscape of vegetables, herbs, flowers, tree, shrubs, fruit ones, 1018 00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:12.360 you name it, they've got it. If you hear me 1019 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:14.320 say any product, it comes out of my mouth on 1020 00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:17.000 guard line. Bob's got it a Southwest fertilizer, And if 1021 00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:19.119 he doesn't have it, you can probably get it because 1022 00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:23.360 he has a wide, wide variety of things everything you need. 1023 00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:26.400 Plus he and his team there have the knowledge to 1024 00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:28.159 point you at the right thing. You bring some weed 1025 00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:30.480 in and a plastic bag, they'll tell you what to 1026 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:33.239 use for it, and they won't steer you wrong. They 1027 00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:36.159 know their products, they know their stuff, and that's important. 1028 00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:39.840 Remember Also, they've got they sharpened more blades there. They've 1029 00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:42.280 got a small engine repair in the back. So we're 1030 00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:44.719 entering that fall season where we're putting some things up. 1031 00:53:44.920 --> 00:53:47.559 Now'd be a good time to get things right so 1032 00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:49.519 when you come out in the spring you're ready to go. 1033 00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:52.320 You know, that's when there's the rush at the shops 1034 00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:55.280 or getting things tuned up and fixed.

We'll own out to spring and 1042 00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:25.079 talk to Roderick. Hello, Roderick. Welcome to garden Line morning skip. 1043 00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:28.960 How are you cop I'm well, sir. How can we 1044 00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:29.519 help tonight? 1045 00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:32.800 Got two questions for you. In my backyard, I have 1046 00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:34.440 an area where I have a gutter. 1047 00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:36.599 And it gets extremely wet. 1048 00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:39.039 Is there anything I can put in that area too, 1049 00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:42.119 so it's so anytime that it ranks not as wet 1050 00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:43.239 like I thought about putting. 1051 00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.920 Some fans had no idea what's put. 1052 00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:53.119 So if your only two options are to reroute that 1053 00:54:53.239 --> 00:54:56.719 gutter down spout somewhere else, or like into an underwater 1054 00:54:56.840 --> 00:55:00.440 pipe that takes it somewhere else, or to put in 1055 00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:06.119 a gravel bed to catch it and a trench and 1056 00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:10.039 gravel to carry it off somewhere else. You just got 1057 00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:12.679 to keep the water from getting there, or find a 1058 00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:16.079 way to get it to a lower spot, because you 1059 00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:18.920 know gravity is taking it wherever it's going to go, 1060 00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.159 so uh, those are the things that are in your power. 1061 00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:24.880 Or put a little you know, put a little rainwater 1062 00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:27.679 collection system there and then you plus you get rainwater 1063 00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:30.280 out of the deal. But those would be the options, 1064 00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:31.719 all right. 1065 00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:35.679 Number two, In my front flower bed, I'm getting this weed. 1066 00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:37.079 It's a two LEAs weed. 1067 00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:39.119 The weaves go right and. 1068 00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:42.159 Left, and inside of the bait, it's just nothing but roses. 1069 00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:43.360 But I'm trying to figure out what can I. 1070 00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:45.599 Put in the flower bed to get all these weeds 1071 00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:48.039 out by having it without having to just pull all 1072 00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:48.800 the weeds myself. 1073 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:55.960 Are there currently flowers in the bed or are you 1074 00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:57.079 between plantings? 1075 00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:00.760 No curly roses in the bed that are still blooming. 1076 00:56:02.719 --> 00:56:05.880 Yeah, it's tough to kill weeds without killing the good stuff. 1077 00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:11.000 These weeds sound like broadleaf weeds as opposed to grasses 1078 00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:14.960 and the things that kill broadly weeds kill petunias and 1079 00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:18.760 kill roses and kill you know, other broadly plants. So 1080 00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:23.559 your options are either hand pulling, or if it's an 1081 00:56:23.800 --> 00:56:27.360 annual weed, sometimes you can kind of mow it down 1082 00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:29.239 a little bit weed eat it down or whatever, and 1083 00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:32.320 then cover it with a real thick mulch and smother 1084 00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:35.679 it with me smother meaning block the light out of it. 1085 00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:39.719 And you can go that route. But other than that, 1086 00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:42.480 the only other thing would be to do a weed wiper, 1087 00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:46.599 where you apply the herbicide to a sponge and wipe 1088 00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:48.960 it on the weeds, And I have one on my 1089 00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:52.480 on my website Gardening with Skip dot com. It tells 1090 00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:54.519 you how to build a weed wiper if you want 1091 00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:56.800 to go check that out, and that way you can 1092 00:56:56.880 --> 00:57:00.760 go underneath the rosebush. This little device applies to the 1093 00:57:00.840 --> 00:57:04.480 herbicide to the weed and doesn't spray, doesn't get on 1094 00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:06.440 your rosebush or in the soil or anything. 1095 00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:11.039 I may try the mulching idea first, so I appreciate it. 1096 00:57:11.119 --> 00:57:11.679 Thank you so much. 1097 00:57:11.719 --> 00:57:14.880 With Mike, all right, if you happen to have a 1098 00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:18.039 newspaper and know someone who still takes a paper, you 1099 00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:20.880 put about four to six sheets a newspaper down after 1100 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.920 you've kind of mowed the weeds back or weeded in 1101 00:57:23.960 --> 00:57:26.079 them back a little bit. You put four to six 1102 00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:28.559 sheets a newspaper and then throw your mulch on top 1103 00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:30.800 of that. That paper will rot in time, but it 1104 00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:33.320 does a better job of blocking all the light out 1105 00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.599 and getting those weeds under control. 1106 00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:39.280 All right, I appreciate it, thanks sir, have a good. 1107 00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:42.840 Day, all right, you bet, thank you. I appreciate that. 1108 00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:47.480 The folks at Medina have been making products for a 1109 00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:49.519 very long time. In fact, I think that's one of 1110 00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:51.920 the first sponsors of garden Line, before it was even 1111 00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:56.840 Gardenline was Medina agg products, and Medina has, you know, 1112 00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:59.079 really made a name for themselves with things like the 1113 00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:00.800 has to Grow. Has to Grow is kind of a 1114 00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:03.360 standard product they have. They have one called has to 1115 00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:06.440 Grow plant Food. It's a six twelve six and fallish 1116 00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:08.840 for planting. And if you're going to put a plant 1117 00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:12.119 in the ground, get you some has to Grow six 1118 00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:16.280 twelve six, put it in a watering can and just 1119 00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:20.119 water your plants in with it. Use that as your 1120 00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:23.320 drench to water your plants in six twelve six lots 1121 00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:25.440 of phosphorus the middle number. You can even put a 1122 00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:27.679 little bit water some down in the bottom of the hole, 1123 00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:30.079 put the plant in, water it again, and then fill 1124 00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:33.239 up with soil and water it again. And that medinosoil 1125 00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:36.559 activator that's in there will stimulate biological activity. They've got 1126 00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:39.480 humic acid in has to Grow six to twelve six 1127 00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:42.239 plant food as well. You can get in a quart 1128 00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:44.400 bottle with a measuring cup. That makes it real easy. 1129 00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:46.559 You can do hose in sprayer if you want to 1130 00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:49.639 go that route about it. It's not gonna burn your plants. 1131 00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:52.920 It will build up the biological activity. It will promote 1132 00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:57.199 fruiting and blooming, and it's excellent for transplanting excellent. So 1133 00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:00.239 whether you're putting in fall vegetables or fall flours, or 1134 00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:02.360 that are a rose bush or a tree, this fall 1135 00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:05.559 has to grow six twelve six. That's as simple as that. 1136 00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:10.559 You need to do that really really help get them 1137 00:59:10.599 --> 00:59:11.960 off to goods. Are I always like to do it. 1138 00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:14.679 People forget to give their plants a boost when they're 1139 00:59:14.679 --> 00:59:18.000 getting unplanted, and that is very important. That plant is 1140 00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:21.320 trying to get established and it's just not real easy 1141 00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:24.320 easy for the plant it needs. It needs a little 1142 00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:26.960 help in that process. For those of you up in 1143 00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:29.599 the Montgomery area, you've got an A plants and produce 1144 00:59:29.679 --> 00:59:31.920 right on your doorstep there on one oh five on 1145 00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:34.760 the east side of Montgomery. I was up there recently, 1146 00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:36.599 had a really good time out there for the folks 1147 00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:38.159 that came out and visited with us. We had a 1148 00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:38.599 good time. 1149 00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:39.079 You know. 1150 00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:41.960 A and A has got every fertilizer I talk about 1151 00:59:42.079 --> 00:59:46.480 Nitroposs Nelson, the All Nelson's turf Star line, microlife products. 1152 00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:49.119 They've got all of the heirloom soils in nature's way, 1153 00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:52.320 the leaf mole compost for example. They have you set 1154 00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:55.360 up to have success with I say, brown stuff before 1155 00:59:55.440 --> 00:59:58.320 green stuff, meaning fix the soil, then plant the plant. 1156 00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:00.840 They've got everything you need for the brown stuff to 1157 01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:03.440 get off to a good start. Their fall colors outstanding. 1158 01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:07.880 I just saw some beautiful asters, beautiful moms. A and 1159 01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:10.199 A has what you need. Just swing by there on 1160 01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:12.800 one oh five, if you're on on one, if you 1161 01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:16.400 live at one of those lake neighborhoods out at Lake Conroe, 1162 01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:19.360 this is your backyard garden center. A and A Plants 1163 01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:22.840 and produce in Montgomery. All right, time for me to 1164 01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:25.199 take a break. I will be right back, and when 1165 01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:27.800 we come back, Suzanne and Laporte, you'll be our first stop. 1166 01:00:31.519 --> 01:00:34.840 Welcome back, Welcome back to the garden line, Little Kobe 1167 01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:39.119 Calais this month. You know, I have talked about Nelson 1168 01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:43.000 products for a number of years and I've used them 1169 01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:47.079 for a number year. Nelson makes quality fertilizers, they just do. 1170 01:00:47.400 --> 01:00:50.480 Their turf Star line is outstanding. And when it comes 1171 01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:52.920 to fall, the turf Star product you need to be 1172 01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:57.199 looking at is carbo load. Carbo load white carbo load, 1173 01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:01.760 because when you put it down, it's got good potassium 1174 01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:06.320 and some nitrogen. Good potassium content to help the grass 1175 01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:12.159 build carbohydrates. Sun shines on plant leaves. Plant leaves make carbohydrates. 1176 01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:16.159 Carbohydrates creates winter hardiness and helps your long come out 1177 01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:19.519 stronger in the spring. The most important fertilization of the 1178 01:01:19.639 --> 01:01:21.840 year if you want to have a good, strong early 1179 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:25.599 growth in your grass, is the fall fertilization because it's 1180 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:29.679 using the nutrient load that it went into winter with 1181 01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:33.800 to come out in spring. Carbo Load by turf Star 1182 01:01:34.239 --> 01:01:37.599 it works. It has a pre emergent herbicide in it, 1183 01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.280 and so you do not want to delay. With just 1184 01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:43.480 regular fertilizers. You can put them on and late September, 1185 01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:46.400 in October, you know, whenever you want to put them down, 1186 01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:48.760 you can put them down. But with carbo load, I 1187 01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:51.679 would do that early. I would do that now. Now 1188 01:01:51.880 --> 01:01:54.159 is the time to do that, because you're going to 1189 01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:55.599 put it down. You're going to water it in with 1190 01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:57.719 about a half inch or so of water just to 1191 01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:00.960 move the nutrients and that product pre emergent into the 1192 01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:04.000 soil surface. That way, when we get a call front, 1193 01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:06.039 when the weather cools off a bit, when we get 1194 01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:09.400 some rain and those weed seeds starts to sprout, the 1195 01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:12.719 carboload pre emergent is there ready for it. So you 1196 01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:14.920 get the nutrient and you get the pre emergent all 1197 01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:19.320 in one product from Nelson plant Food. And again Nelson 1198 01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:21.800 widely available, not hard to find Nelson products in the 1199 01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:24.639 Greater Houston area. Let's go to Laporte now and talk 1200 01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:26.920 to Suzanne. Hey, Suzanne, welcome to Guardline. 1201 01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:30.800 Hi Skip, thanks for taking my call. I appreciate it. 1202 01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:34.440 I live down here in Laporte near the bay, and 1203 01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:38.719 I have an enormous backyard. It receives full sun. It's 1204 01:02:38.719 --> 01:02:44.599 about one thousand feet. It has several places that are browning, 1205 01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:50.079 and it looks kind of tacky, however, and it still 1206 01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:52.840 has areas that are green. We were out of town 1207 01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:56.159 on travel for a long time, and when we returned, 1208 01:02:56.239 --> 01:02:59.880 that's the way it was. The lawn crew took care 1209 01:02:59.920 --> 01:03:03.119 of it, but just mode and you know, typical yard 1210 01:03:03.199 --> 01:03:09.159 care like that. My question is now, some green grass 1211 01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.199 is growing through all of the brown throughout the yard. 1212 01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:18.000 And I purchased the stuff the Texas three Steps. So 1213 01:03:18.280 --> 01:03:21.400 I was wondering, Okay, should we go ahead and apply 1214 01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:25.559 that or is that foolish to apply it to a 1215 01:03:26.079 --> 01:03:27.519 yard in such bad shape? 1216 01:03:29.840 --> 01:03:32.480 No, No, you need to apply it to the yard 1217 01:03:32.559 --> 01:03:35.280 and bad shape here's why the three step is going 1218 01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.280 to be three. As you know, three things. It's a 1219 01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:40.880 fall special Winner riser designed for that, and so that 1220 01:03:41.039 --> 01:03:43.639 will help your lawn get stronger. So coming out in 1221 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:46.719 spring it's going to be in better shape. So you 1222 01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:50.559 definitely need to do the fall Special Winner riser. The 1223 01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:54.159 barricade is of course the pre emergent herbicide, and both 1224 01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:59.639 the fertilizer and the barricade you want to water them 1225 01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:01.800 in after you apply them, to get them down in 1226 01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:06.519 the soil surface, because your lawn struggling means the sunlight 1227 01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:09.360 is hitting the soil, and wherever sunlight hits the soil, 1228 01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:12.480 nature plants of weeds. So you're gonna have cool season 1229 01:04:12.559 --> 01:04:15.599 weeds germinating in a lawn that's gotten thinner like that. 1230 01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:19.079 So barricade ahead of time is important. That means, that 1231 01:04:19.199 --> 01:04:21.320 means to it. Now, who knows when the neck round 1232 01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:23.519 coldfront's going to hit the cool things off a little, 1233 01:04:23.599 --> 01:04:25.440 and so go ahead and get it down. And then 1234 01:04:25.480 --> 01:04:28.920 the fung aside that one, you don't need to water 1235 01:04:29.039 --> 01:04:31.840 in so much. It's a systemic product that you put 1236 01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:34.920 on your lawn. Just a little bit of water, just 1237 01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.800 a little bit to put down and it'll move into 1238 01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:41.119 the grass plant. And so when brown patch hits or 1239 01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:43.199 take all root route, which both occur in the fall, 1240 01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:47.159 that it is in the plant to defend the plant. 1241 01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.360 If you wait until after the circles appear, it's a 1242 01:04:50.440 --> 01:04:54.159 little late to stop because they've already it's already created 1243 01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:57.079 the brown spots, brown circles in the lawn. So yes, 1244 01:04:57.280 --> 01:05:01.920 all of those are important, especially and you're so situation okay? 1245 01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:02.800 Perfect? 1246 01:05:03.280 --> 01:05:06.440 And should I do all should we do all three 1247 01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:07.920 of those at the same time? 1248 01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:12.639 You can do them all on the same day. Don't 1249 01:05:12.800 --> 01:05:17.079 mix products in the same hopper. So spread the fertilizer, 1250 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.559 then come back and put the barricade in. Spread it, 1251 01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:20.360 then come back. 1252 01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:25.519 You know, I'm sorry. 1253 01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:29.679 I would do the fertilizer. That's okay, I would do 1254 01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:31.960 maybe I was talking over you. I would I would 1255 01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:34.280 do the fertilizer in the barricade on the ground, and 1256 01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:37.440 then water men really good, okay. And then with the eagle, 1257 01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:40.400 just follow the label. Follow the label on that. It 1258 01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:42.199 is going to be a granular you put on, so 1259 01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:44.360 you are going to want to water it too. Just 1260 01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:47.079 check the volumes on those, uh it, Maybe you can 1261 01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:49.239 put all three and then water or that you would 1262 01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:51.119 do the first two water and then maybe when you 1263 01:05:51.159 --> 01:05:52.960 put the eagle down watered in as well. 1264 01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:58.480 But it'll tell you okay, perfect, And that last one 1265 01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:00.320 is is the turf eagle right? 1266 01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:04.880 Yeah, eagle turf funder side eagle. 1267 01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:07.679 Turf that's on your side.

I cut it last year. 1376 01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:07.680 I cut all my crate myrtles last year, and one 1377 01:12:07.760 --> 01:12:09.079 in particular. 1378 01:12:10.680 --> 01:12:13.439 It just it's quick growing. I did spray it down 1379 01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:16.239 with I've got some I guess some. 1380 01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:17.439 I don't know what it is so. 1381 01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:19.640 Black that grows on one of the and it was 1382 01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:20.720 actually on a different. 1383 01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:23.199 Crape myrtle, but the one in particular I actually spray 1384 01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:25.800 down and I cut it and it is totally quick growing. 1385 01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:29.199 I've recut it and I see that it has green 1386 01:12:29.439 --> 01:12:31.560 and it actually is blowing. It's growing a little bit 1387 01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:33.520 of a black stuff on the sides. 1388 01:12:33.560 --> 01:12:35.680 Of on the on the trunk, but. 1389 01:12:37.479 --> 01:12:41.039 It hasn't grown in eight months, nine months, So I 1390 01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:43.520 don't know if you had a solution or what I 1391 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:43.880 should do. 1392 01:12:44.760 --> 01:12:47.840 That's very strange.

I don't know 1395 01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:56.439 if maybe it's a little on the dry side or 1396 01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:59.359 some other issue is going on.

But 1419 01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:13.239 if you can find the dinner tept run, follow the label, 1420 01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:16.520 mix it up, drench it. It goes up in the plants, plumbing, 1421 01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:20.680 and it kills those scale because they're just like ticks 1422 01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:22.520 on a dog, you know, just sort of dragging it 1423 01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:24.359 down a little bit more. And let's go ahead and 1424 01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:26.279 knock that out on that particular Kramer. 1425 01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:30.800 Okay, I appreciate it, Thank you so much. Yes, sir, 1426 01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:32.520 all right, you bet. 1427 01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:35.840 You good luck, good luck with that. If you want 1428 01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:38.600 to have compost op dressing done, now is a good 1429 01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:40.319 time to do it. And if you live in the 1430 01:14:40.399 --> 01:14:43.159 northwest quadrant of Houston. And what do I mean by that, 1431 01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:47.319 I mean just imagine Interstate forty five Interstate ten, the 1432 01:14:47.479 --> 01:14:51.680 northwest quadrant that is the service area for green Pro. 1433 01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:54.439 They cover about forty five minutes from or forty five 1434 01:14:54.520 --> 01:14:58.520 miles from Magnolia. That's Spring Cyprus Woodlands, Conrad Willis and 1435 01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:01.880 then over up into Magnolia, Montgomery and down to Katie 1436 01:15:01.920 --> 01:15:05.399 West Houston, Central North Houston, that area all right now 1437 01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:08.359 through fall. You need to hear this now through fall. 1438 01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:12.560 If you hire them to do a compost top dressing, 1439 01:15:13.279 --> 01:15:16.600 they will do for free the aeration of your lawn, 1440 01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:18.560 but you have to do a two yard minimum. You 1441 01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:21.399 can't buy a yard a compost and do that. If 1442 01:15:21.439 --> 01:15:24.359 you get a two yard minimum of compost top dressing done, 1443 01:15:24.960 --> 01:15:29.439 then they do the aeration for free. Price to start 1444 01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:32.239 at five seventy five plus tax. It they're hauling a 1445 01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:35.640 very expensive equipment around. They're hauling a lot of bulk 1446 01:15:35.760 --> 01:15:39.159 material around. That's why they have a service area. But 1447 01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:41.720 they do a good job. And if your lawn is struggling, 1448 01:15:41.880 --> 01:15:44.960 if it's take all damage, if it's chinchbugs, if it's 1449 01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:49.319 just drought or whatever it is foot traffic, especially compaction 1450 01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:55.000 compost top dressing follow with a aerration is a way 1451 01:15:55.159 --> 01:15:58.960 to get oxygen and organic material back down into the 1452 01:15:59.039 --> 01:16:02.720 soil and really help that grassroots system to thrive. Greenpro 1453 01:16:03.439 --> 01:16:06.159 greenpro dot net is the website, the phone number two 1454 01:16:06.199 --> 01:16:09.239 eight one three five one forty seven thirty three. I'm 1455 01:16:09.239 --> 01:16:12.159 gonna give you that again two eight one three five 1456 01:16:12.319 --> 01:16:18.239 one four seven three three greenpro dot Net. Well, now 1457 01:16:18.359 --> 01:16:21.439 go to Charlie in Spring Texas. Hey, Charlie, welcome to Guardline. 1458 01:16:22.239 --> 01:16:23.840 Hey skip that we're doing this morning? 1459 01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:28.319 Well, sir, how can it help? Yeah? 1460 01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:32.800 So, I have a pair of a crape myrtles at 1461 01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:36.159 my house and for the last light I would say 1462 01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:38.600 two years or so, and there's just like this thick 1463 01:16:38.840 --> 01:16:43.560 like black tar that's just literally you can see it 1464 01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:46.640 dripping off of the leaves. I mean, it's getting all 1465 01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:50.880 over the cars. But it's only the two that are 1466 01:16:50.920 --> 01:16:53.239 about ten feet from each other. The other one on 1467 01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:55.640 the other side of the driveway it doesn't have it. 1468 01:16:56.319 --> 01:16:59.319 And my wife and I, I mean we returned them 1469 01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:02.720 every year they roll back, but it's just like I 1470 01:17:02.760 --> 01:17:05.239 would say, about six months out of the year, there's 1471 01:17:05.319 --> 01:17:07.920 just this real thick black tar that's just literally just 1472 01:17:08.039 --> 01:17:09.840 dripping all over our cars. 1473 01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:15.560 Okay, Well, Charlie, that is crepe myrtle bark scale, and 1474 01:17:16.319 --> 01:17:21.199 the crpe myrtle itself will sometimes drip. There are different 1475 01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:24.800 insects that suck the sugary juices out of plants, and 1476 01:17:24.920 --> 01:17:27.560 then they basically pee out the sugar water and wherever 1477 01:17:27.640 --> 01:17:30.439 it lands, you get soot all over the plant. And 1478 01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:32.520 if it's if it's a sugary water, it may be 1479 01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:36.479 black as well. But the bottom line is you got 1480 01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:39.479 to kill the insect to stop that. And it's not 1481 01:17:39.840 --> 01:17:42.479 generally something that kills crpe myrtles, but it sure makes 1482 01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:44.560 them look bad. And then you get the junk on 1483 01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:47.439 your picnic table or your car or whatever you're sitting 1484 01:17:47.520 --> 01:17:51.000 underneath the tree. I don't know if you heard that 1485 01:17:51.560 --> 01:17:56.159 last color, but Dino Teferon is a drench that you 1486 01:17:56.279 --> 01:18:00.520 can purchase that I think would be the way to 1487 01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:04.000 go at this point in the season. I hesitate recommending 1488 01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:07.479 it earlier in the season just because the great myrtles 1489 01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:09.439 and the blooms and the bees and things. But at 1490 01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:11.840 this point in the season you could go ahead and 1491 01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:14.359 do that and it would be fine. And are you 1492 01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:17.680 are you in spring or are you in a spring branch? 1493 01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:19.479 I'm in a Spring? 1494 01:18:21.479 --> 01:18:21.600 Oh? 1495 01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:25.159 Okay, okay, good? Well up around spring. You've got an 1496 01:18:25.159 --> 01:18:29.239 Ace Hardware store there on Spring Stiper's Road, Spring Ace Hardware. 1497 01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:33.279 That's probably the closest to you. There's some other aces around. 1498 01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:36.520 There's one over on Rayford Road as well, all Star Ace. 1499 01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:40.560 But they're gonna probably have the systemics. They'll have Dino Tevron, 1500 01:18:40.760 --> 01:18:43.600 or they'll have and that's the ingredient, not the brand name, 1501 01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:48.960 or they'll have something else that's a systemic insecticide for scale. 1502 01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:51.560 They can point you to just follow the label and 1503 01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:53.640 go ahead and get it done while they're still sap 1504 01:18:53.720 --> 01:18:54.600 flowing in the plant. 1505 01:18:55.079 --> 01:18:56.720 Okay, yeah, we'll do, We'll do, sir. 1506 01:18:56.800 --> 01:18:57.680 I appreciate it.

Microlife brown patch. It's a five to one 1589 01:23:26.960 --> 01:23:30.039 to three fertilizer, got a little extra potassium in it 1590 01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:32.520 to help it. But it's loaded with microbes. And when 1591 01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:36.319 you load something up with microbes, you make the plants happier. 1592 01:23:36.439 --> 01:23:39.439 Plants need microbes. And when it comes to diseases like 1593 01:23:40.039 --> 01:23:43.000 the brown patch that attacks our grass in the fall, 1594 01:23:43.640 --> 01:23:48.800 things like microlife brown patch and microlife bioenoculant. That's a 1595 01:23:48.920 --> 01:23:55.560 second thing, bioinoculan. Sixty three different beneficial microorganism strains, and 1596 01:23:56.039 --> 01:23:59.880 there's just loaded different kinds of things. Some of them 1597 01:24:00.000 --> 01:24:03.319 produce antibiotics. Some of these microbes produce antibiotics to help 1598 01:24:03.359 --> 01:24:06.079 the plant. Some of them out compete the disease on 1599 01:24:06.199 --> 01:24:09.680 the plant's surface. So you're putting out good guys out 1600 01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:12.880 there if you will, to just create this jungle that 1601 01:24:13.000 --> 01:24:15.800 some of the diseases have a more difficult time establishing in. 1602 01:24:16.479 --> 01:24:19.359 And by applying microlife you get a good gradual feed 1603 01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:21.520 to take care of your plants the way plants want 1604 01:24:21.640 --> 01:24:24.720 to be taken care of. Microlife brown patch and micro 1605 01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:28.520 grow bioenoculent. Those are the two you need to be 1606 01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:31.239 putting down for your fall season. Just go to my 1607 01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:35.119 gardening schedule online at gardening skip dot com you learn 1608 01:24:35.199 --> 01:24:38.720 more about these types of things. I'm going to go now, 1609 01:24:38.880 --> 01:24:41.520 let's see where were we We're going to go to 1610 01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:46.039 talk to Miss V in Conroe. Hello, Miss V, Welcome 1611 01:24:46.079 --> 01:24:46.680 to garden Line. 1612 01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:51.560 Bye, Hi, sir, Hi. I just came across your strict station, 1613 01:24:51.840 --> 01:24:55.199 so I quickly jotted down what I wanted to ask, 1614 01:24:55.800 --> 01:24:58.720 and you can give me the shortcut quickly because it's 1615 01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:00.000 five questions. 1616 01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:00.520 From I ask. 1617 01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:03.600 I have a hot and I'm eighty years old, so 1618 01:25:04.199 --> 01:25:07.680 I'll catch on very quick. I just bought a Honda, 1619 01:25:07.760 --> 01:25:12.199 the most modern how you say, push one that goes, 1620 01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:16.920 it walks or whatever. It can bag back and mulsh 1621 01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:19.760 and mulch. I would like to know, should I use 1622 01:25:19.880 --> 01:25:23.119 the mult setting when I'm cutting my grass and let 1623 01:25:23.239 --> 01:25:25.560 the grass just fall and leave it there. 1624 01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:31.760 Okay, First of all, misbae, I like you already. I 1625 01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:34.600 like you already. So here's what you need to do. 1626 01:25:35.720 --> 01:25:38.920 Whenever you maulch, you're chopping up the grass clippings to 1627 01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:40.800 put them back in the lawn. And that is a 1628 01:25:40.920 --> 01:25:42.920 good thing to do. Now, if it rains and you 1629 01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:44.920 can't mow for a while, and now you got this 1630 01:25:45.479 --> 01:25:48.159 knee deep grass out there in the front yard, go 1631 01:25:48.199 --> 01:25:50.119 ahead and bag those and use them as a mulch 1632 01:25:50.159 --> 01:25:54.199 around your plants and the gardens and beds. But whenever 1633 01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:56.680 you can turn those clippings back into the soil, it's 1634 01:25:56.680 --> 01:25:59.720 a good idea because that adds nutrients. It's free or 1635 01:25:59.760 --> 01:26:03.039 gain fertilizer every time you mow and you return the clipping. 1636 01:26:03.199 --> 01:26:06.039 So yes, you should do that. Okay, with your nice now. 1637 01:26:07.399 --> 01:26:11.079 Now for and don't ask me why I keep forgetting 1638 01:26:11.119 --> 01:26:13.920 When it's like going to the grocery store. I keep 1639 01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:18.640 buying this winter rise at home depot. I have eight bags. 1640 01:26:19.079 --> 01:26:22.000 Can I put the winter rise now or not? 1641 01:26:22.319 --> 01:26:22.520 Now? 1642 01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:25.359 Wait for November December, winter rise. 1643 01:26:27.319 --> 01:26:29.760 Now's the time. I don't know what's in that product. 1644 01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:36.960 I wouldn't I would shop definitely. Well, all right, all 1645 01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:37.840 the label on it. 1646 01:26:40.279 --> 01:26:42.039 Okay, okay, this is a month to do. 1647 01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:43.920 I don't know if you can take any of that bag. 1648 01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:46.359 But you don't need eight bags of fertilizer. I I 1649 01:26:46.399 --> 01:26:49.119 can tell you that, no, without getting into which one. 1650 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:54.000 Yeah, I'll all of it, but I just want to 1651 01:26:54.039 --> 01:26:58.760 start using it now. And okay, divide the balls? Can 1652 01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:01.960 I divide my ball to my day lilies? And anything 1653 01:27:02.079 --> 01:27:02.920 that's balls? 1654 01:27:03.079 --> 01:27:06.079 Can I divide it any here? 1655 01:27:06.159 --> 01:27:10.079 It is anything that blooms in the spring and summer, 1656 01:27:11.319 --> 01:27:14.399 you can. You can divide it now. But if it's 1657 01:27:14.439 --> 01:27:16.680 gonna bloom in the fall, you can divide it in spring. 1658 01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:19.359 That's the better time. Think of it as the season 1659 01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:20.640 opposite when it blooms. 1660 01:27:21.479 --> 01:27:25.760 Okay, okay. Now, you remember, many many, many many years ago, 1661 01:27:26.479 --> 01:27:29.439 the gentleman that had to get off the air. You 1662 01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:32.159 know why, And I ain't gonna go there. He used 1663 01:27:32.159 --> 01:27:38.439 to promote Medina, Medina, Medina. You know who I'm speaking about, right, No. 1664 01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:40.439 But listen, this is gonna have to be my last question. 1665 01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:42.640 But you can call back. What is your question? 1666 01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:46.479 Yeah? Can I use the medina that I've had for 1667 01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:51.319 fifteen years or close to twenty years. I've never opened it. 1668 01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:54.520 It's all liquid and different things has growed the whole thing. 1669 01:27:54.680 --> 01:27:58.600 It's all medina. Can I use to think of promoting? 1670 01:28:00.920 --> 01:28:03.479 Yeah, don't, don't worry about it. Just I don't know. 1671 01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:06.119 It's not gonna be bad, but it's probably it may 1672 01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:09.319 not be effective at what it's doing. Like what if 1673 01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:12.000 they're not made to last that long? Mix it up 1674 01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:14.319 in some water and apply it on a few plants, 1675 01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:17.239 see how it does, and then apply the rest of you.

You got a registered to win and micro 1703 01:30:01.760 --> 01:30:06.119 like brown Patch fertilizer whenever you're planting a tree. And 1704 01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:08.800 I hope if you have any intention of planting a 1705 01:30:08.840 --> 01:30:11.119 tree in the next year, you do it now because 1706 01:30:11.199 --> 01:30:14.079 fall is the best time. It gives that new tree 1707 01:30:14.479 --> 01:30:19.600 all winter to build roots in preparation for summer heat 1708 01:30:19.760 --> 01:30:22.159 that's coming next year. First summer is a killer on 1709 01:30:22.319 --> 01:30:26.079 young trees, shrubs, woody vines, all those things. Get them planted. 1710 01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:26.279 Now. 1711 01:30:26.640 --> 01:30:29.520 When you plant that tree, gets you a three sixty 1712 01:30:29.840 --> 01:30:31.760 degree tree stabilizer. 1713 01:30:31.880 --> 01:30:32.319 What is that. 1714 01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:35.960 It's a bar you hammer in a t post. You 1715 01:30:36.199 --> 01:30:38.279 attach it to the teeposts or any kind of post 1716 01:30:38.359 --> 01:30:42.520 of work. It has a loose soft strap that holds 1717 01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:44.760 onto the tree and allows it to move a little. 1718 01:30:44.920 --> 01:30:48.840 Movement is important. Movement builds trunk strength, so you don't 1719 01:30:48.840 --> 01:30:50.640 want to just honker it down with three tight guy 1720 01:30:50.720 --> 01:30:54.520 wires like you see people do. One three sixty tree stabilizer. 1721 01:30:54.560 --> 01:30:56.359 If it's a big tree, you can use two at 1722 01:30:56.439 --> 01:30:59.399 right angles to each other. Will help get that tree 1723 01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:01.840 established and it last. They last a long time. You 1724 01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:03.800 just put up hanging up in the garage. Next thing, 1725 01:31:03.880 --> 01:31:05.600 you plant a tree. Your neighbor plants a tree. You 1726 01:31:05.720 --> 01:31:07.920 got one. You can get them at RCW, you can 1727 01:31:07.920 --> 01:31:09.920 get them at Southwest Fertilizer. You can get them at 1728 01:31:09.960 --> 01:31:12.760 Buchanan's Native Plants, where I'll be today. You can get 1729 01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:15.680 them at Jorges Hidden Gardens done in Alvin plants for 1730 01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:18.039 all seasons. I was just talking about them up on 1731 01:31:18.119 --> 01:31:20.960 two forty nine Arbrigade out west of Tomball. All these 1732 01:31:21.039 --> 01:31:26.840 places carry the three sixty tree stabilizer. Fall is the 1733 01:31:27.079 --> 01:31:31.159 best time by far for planting a tree. Three sixty 1734 01:31:31.279 --> 01:31:34.680 tree stabilizer is the best way to secure that tree 1735 01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:38.319 but allow the movement needed to build the ultimate trunk 1736 01:31:38.399 --> 01:31:41.000 strength as it grows. We're going to go now to 1737 01:31:41.199 --> 01:31:44.159 Missouri City and talk to Paul. Hello Paul, and welcome 1738 01:31:44.199 --> 01:31:44.840 to garden Line. 1739 01:31:46.199 --> 01:31:47.039 Good morning, Skip. 1740 01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:47.840 Uh. 1741 01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:50.560 Yeah, I called a couple of weeks ago with an 1742 01:31:50.640 --> 01:31:54.960 issue on my lugustrium bushes, and at the time you 1743 01:31:55.079 --> 01:31:58.119 told me that I probably had a fungus and you 1744 01:31:58.199 --> 01:32:02.159 told me to spray with the decument and another chemical. 1745 01:32:02.359 --> 01:32:04.960 You told me to alternate the spring. What was the 1746 01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:11.720 name of that other the application, the other. 1747 01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:14.800 One that Yeah, the other one would have been something 1748 01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:21.399 called Belaton. Yeah, b A y l e B A 1749 01:32:21.720 --> 01:32:26.720 y l e t o n B A y l 1750 01:32:26.840 --> 01:32:29.840 e t o n. Now you're going to find that 1751 01:32:30.119 --> 01:32:33.760 in a lot of different brands. Okay, there's a number 1752 01:32:33.880 --> 01:32:36.960 of different kinds of belaton out there on the mark. 1753 01:32:37.000 --> 01:32:40.239 I mean different brands of belaton out there on the market. 1754 01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:44.720 But the reason I recommend that is because the the 1755 01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:50.800 the beilaton, the dacanila itself, and the belaton are different 1756 01:32:51.039 --> 01:32:55.960 types of fungicides, and so by alternating you prevent resistance 1757 01:32:56.079 --> 01:32:59.560 and it does a better job of controlling the particular 1758 01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:00.640 disease you've got. 1759 01:33:01.479 --> 01:33:07.720 Okay, okay, okay, understand. So what does the frequency that 1760 01:33:07.880 --> 01:33:10.800 I spray? Of course I did the Dalcon Hill about 1761 01:33:11.039 --> 01:33:13.920 two weeks ago, So do. 1762 01:33:13.960 --> 01:33:19.199 What I would do now, go ahead and spray it. 1763 01:33:19.239 --> 01:33:23.199 Now you can alternate weekly. What is most important is 1764 01:33:23.720 --> 01:33:27.279 after we get a rain or hopefully your irrigation isn't 1765 01:33:27.319 --> 01:33:29.560 wetting the foliage, because that makes it a lot worse. 1766 01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:32.399 But if we get a rain, after the rain drives off, 1767 01:33:32.520 --> 01:33:35.239 just go out there and spray with the bailaton or 1768 01:33:35.319 --> 01:33:37.680 the dakanel, and then next time you spray, spray with 1769 01:33:37.760 --> 01:33:39.960 the other one. And so if we went for like 1770 01:33:40.079 --> 01:33:42.279 three weeks without a drop of rain, you wouldn't have 1771 01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:44.920 to spray every week. But you just want to make 1772 01:33:44.960 --> 01:33:47.600 sure following a rain, you spray because that's when those 1773 01:33:47.640 --> 01:33:50.239 spores are starting to sprout to infect. 1774 01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:55.640 Okay, so now the foliage that's kind of lime going 1775 01:33:55.800 --> 01:33:58.239 colored and spotted, and I have to wait for those 1776 01:33:58.479 --> 01:34:01.119 leaves to fall off before I get new. 1777 01:34:01.079 --> 01:34:05.880 Booms or well no, I mean, you know, it's always 1778 01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:08.720 good to rake up fallen leaves, always a good idea. 1779 01:34:09.159 --> 01:34:11.720 And if you've got some on there that are pretty infected, 1780 01:34:11.880 --> 01:34:14.199 I would just pull them off because they're sick. They're 1781 01:34:14.239 --> 01:34:16.960 full of spores to reinfect the healthy leaves that are 1782 01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:20.159 coming out, and so it's just a good idea to 1783 01:34:20.319 --> 01:34:22.479 go ahead and get rid of those leaves. I know 1784 01:34:22.720 --> 01:34:25.279 your plants drop leaves, and now I'm telling you to 1785 01:34:25.359 --> 01:34:29.199 pull more off, but I'm just saying that it's important 1786 01:34:30.079 --> 01:34:34.199 to make sure that those spores are not out there 1787 01:34:34.279 --> 01:34:35.520 to reinfect so much. 1788 01:34:35.680 --> 01:34:39.199 Okay, yes, yes, okay, very good, thank you. 1789 01:34:39.439 --> 01:34:44.119 Yeah, yeah, those sick leaves aren't doing Imagine this. Imagine 1790 01:34:44.159 --> 01:34:46.520 you had a house full of people and five people 1791 01:34:46.640 --> 01:34:48.920 were sick and coughing. Wouldn't you want to send them 1792 01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:52.520 out of the house so everybody else. That's what those 1793 01:34:53.119 --> 01:34:56.079 that's what those infected leaves are you know, you go, well, 1794 01:34:56.199 --> 01:34:58.840 it's only leaves I got left. Well, okay, but when 1795 01:34:58.880 --> 01:35:01.079 a new one comes and rain splashes, it's going to 1796 01:35:01.119 --> 01:35:04.159 splash the disease onto the new leaves. So okay, I 1797 01:35:04.239 --> 01:35:08.000 think you get the idea. Hey, thanks, I appreciate that call. 1798 01:35:09.800 --> 01:35:15.159 You bet, you bet. Absolutely. Jeges and Gardens is down 1799 01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:19.479 in Alvin, Texas. Now you probably have heard me talk 1800 01:35:19.479 --> 01:35:23.079 about horages before. Hoy uh. It's fairly new when it 1801 01:35:23.199 --> 01:35:26.359 comes to our garden centers here in the Greater Houston area. 1802 01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:28.399 But they're they're way down there due south, so it's 1803 01:35:28.439 --> 01:35:31.960 real easy. If you're down in that whole area anywhere 1804 01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:35.439 around Alvin, Texas, this is this is your hometown garden center. 1805 01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:38.359 You maybe you're in Santa Fe or Dickens Center, Hillcrest 1806 01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:42.359 or Arcadia, al Diloma. I'll go even for example, they've 1807 01:35:42.399 --> 01:35:44.079 got it. They by the way, they carry that three 1808 01:35:44.199 --> 01:35:47.359 sixty tree stabilizer I was just talking about. They always 1809 01:35:47.439 --> 01:35:50.880 have a good supply of fruit trees, especially the Centris two. 1810 01:35:51.359 --> 01:35:55.520 They're always getting in vegetable plants. They got roses, they've 1811 01:35:55.520 --> 01:35:59.239 got crpe myrtles. They have an outstanding selection of all 1812 01:35:59.399 --> 01:36:04.520 kinds of quality trees. Jorge has some pretty large ones too. Wednesday. 1813 01:36:04.560 --> 01:36:06.319 You're not going to pick out and plant, but you 1814 01:36:06.439 --> 01:36:09.000 want that instant look. He can take care of you 1815 01:36:09.199 --> 01:36:11.600 and he can do that as well. So I think 1816 01:36:11.640 --> 01:36:14.880 it's important that you remember when you're going to plant 1817 01:36:14.920 --> 01:36:17.039 a tree, now's the time to do it. And Jorge 1818 01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:19.680 has got a great selection right now, So don't delay. 1819 01:36:19.720 --> 01:36:22.720 Go ahead and stop in there, you know, check it out, 1820 01:36:23.239 --> 01:36:26.239 and I think you'll find everything that you need at 1821 01:36:26.319 --> 01:36:29.920 Jorge Hiding Guards. He has own special line of fertilizers too, 1822 01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:33.960 from Nelson Fertilizer Products. That's excellent for purchasing. When you 1823 01:36:34.039 --> 01:36:35.600 bring your plants home to put a little bit in, 1824 01:36:36.000 --> 01:36:38.000 mix it in the soil so those plants take off 1825 01:36:38.079 --> 01:36:40.479 and do well. Hey is fall hours. He's closed on 1826 01:36:40.560 --> 01:36:43.520 Mondays now Fall hours closed on Mondays, but Tuesday through 1827 01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:47.720 Friday nine to three, Saturday and Sunday eight to four. 1828 01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:50.399 It's got some specials right now on those peaches and 1829 01:36:50.479 --> 01:36:52.800 pairs and apples and plums and neck greens, all in 1830 01:36:52.920 --> 01:36:56.039 fifteen gallons and listen, falls a good time to plant them. 1831 01:36:56.399 --> 01:36:58.560 Fall is a good time to plant those fruit trees 1832 01:36:58.600 --> 01:37:02.520 as well. From Jorge Hidden Gardens down in Alvin. We 1833 01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:05.199 are going to go now to Baytown, Texas and talk 1834 01:37:05.279 --> 01:37:05.720 to Glenn. 1835 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:11.159 Hello, Glenn, good morning. I've got two quick questions. I 1836 01:37:11.239 --> 01:37:14.600 know you're busy at tar. I've got when's a good 1837 01:37:14.680 --> 01:37:20.159 time transplant crape myrtles, And that's the first question. Second question, 1838 01:37:20.680 --> 01:37:24.279 I've got some tall, wild looking grass growing in my 1839 01:37:24.399 --> 01:37:29.760 flower beds. It's got long white roots on it, multiple roots, 1840 01:37:29.800 --> 01:37:32.079 and they all have spikes on the end of them, 1841 01:37:32.359 --> 01:37:35.880 like needles. It's about three foot tall and it is 1842 01:37:36.039 --> 01:37:37.720 all over one of my flower beds. 1843 01:37:40.840 --> 01:37:43.159 The roots have spikes on them. 1844 01:37:43.640 --> 01:37:47.399 Yeah, they've got sharp points on them. They're white. 1845 01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:53.239 Okay, Yeah, Glenn, I'm gonna I'm gonna give it my 1846 01:37:53.319 --> 01:37:56.439 best guess. But that's a little vague of a description 1847 01:37:56.680 --> 01:37:59.039 for me to be sure. But I think you're talking 1848 01:37:59.079 --> 01:38:00.319 about torpedo. 1849 01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:03.479 Grass, crazy grass. 1850 01:38:05.479 --> 01:38:07.439 Well, do you know what? Do you know what bermuda 1851 01:38:07.479 --> 01:38:08.159 grass looks like? 1852 01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:09.399 Yeah? 1853 01:38:09.760 --> 01:38:14.000 Are you familiar with bermuda? If you imagine bermuda on steroids, 1854 01:38:14.119 --> 01:38:18.119 it's huge, like a giant, monster sized bermuda. That's what 1855 01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:21.600 torpedo grass looks like. So you just got to make 1856 01:38:21.640 --> 01:38:24.079 it a lot bigger and a lot taller and stuff. 1857 01:38:24.560 --> 01:38:27.239 I think that's what you're dealing with. But it doesn't 1858 01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:30.560 really matter. If it's truly a grass and you get 1859 01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:34.359 a grass only killer, you can spray it, and those 1860 01:38:34.439 --> 01:38:36.720 products are made to be able to spray on most 1861 01:38:36.920 --> 01:38:39.479 ornamentals and it won't hurt them. So like if you 1862 01:38:39.560 --> 01:38:42.479 have petunias in there or a rose bush, yeah, those 1863 01:38:42.560 --> 01:38:44.720 grass killers are not going to hurt the petunias in 1864 01:38:44.800 --> 01:38:47.760 the rose bush, but they move down in the grass 1865 01:38:47.800 --> 01:38:50.279 and they kill it. So it's really good for getting 1866 01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:58.840 grass out of your flower beds and things. Oh yeah, yeah. 1867 01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:00.560 It moves down in the roots and kills the whole thing, 1868 01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:02.359 because otherwise you're not going to kill that grass you're 1869 01:39:02.439 --> 01:39:06.279 describing without a systemic So if you if you go 1870 01:39:06.359 --> 01:39:10.920 to my website Gardening with Skip dot com garden that's 1871 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:14.439 me Skip Gardening with Skip dot com and look for 1872 01:39:14.840 --> 01:39:16.880 there's a publication right at the top of the list 1873 01:39:16.960 --> 01:39:21.680 on the website herbicides to use with Skip's weed wiper. 1874 01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:24.159 You don't have to put these on a weed wiper, 1875 01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:27.119 but that's just what the publication says. Go down and 1876 01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:32.239 look for grass killers and the two ingredients that do this, 1877 01:39:32.640 --> 01:39:35.319 and all the products for each of those two ingredients 1878 01:39:35.399 --> 01:39:37.399 are listed right there for you, and then you can 1879 01:39:37.479 --> 01:39:40.399 go shopping. Put that out, take a shopping and say 1880 01:39:40.439 --> 01:39:42.359 what do you got from this list? I need one 1881 01:39:42.399 --> 01:39:44.680 of these and that then take it home, spray on 1882 01:39:44.760 --> 01:39:46.079 those on those grass week. 1883 01:39:46.399 --> 01:39:48.359 Do I need to get your roots up and stuff 1884 01:39:49.359 --> 01:39:50.239 after it kills it? 1885 01:39:50.960 --> 01:39:51.000 No? 1886 01:39:51.159 --> 01:39:54.239 You know, no, you don't have to just leave it. 1887 01:39:54.439 --> 01:39:56.439 You can, you know, the dead grass on top, you 1888 01:39:56.520 --> 01:39:57.760 want to rake it out of the way or something. 1889 01:39:57.800 --> 01:40:00.279 You can, But no, this is made. You need to 1890 01:40:00.319 --> 01:40:01.880 give it about a week or so to move down 1891 01:40:02.159 --> 01:40:04.359 and do its work. They're not real fast, but they're 1892 01:40:04.439 --> 01:40:07.920 thorough and that's what you need. Your thorough All right, Glenn, 1893 01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:08.319 we did. 1894 01:40:08.800 --> 01:40:14.279 And my other question was transplanking myrtles. When do I transplane? 1895 01:40:14.359 --> 01:40:14.479 Oh? 1896 01:40:15.039 --> 01:40:20.159 Now, well, late October and November is the best time. 1897 01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:22.600 So I would say November if all, if you don't 1898 01:40:22.600 --> 01:40:26.760 have too much transplanting to do any shrub, tree, woody vine, 1899 01:40:27.159 --> 01:40:30.279 all of those. Once it cools off a little bit, 1900 01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:33.439 leaves start to fall off of things, you just that's 1901 01:40:33.479 --> 01:40:35.199 the best time to get a move to put them 1902 01:40:35.199 --> 01:40:37.520 at the same level they were watermen. Really good and 1903 01:40:37.600 --> 01:40:38.359 you should be good to go. 1904 01:40:38.640 --> 01:40:39.000 All right. 1905 01:40:39.359 --> 01:40:41.840 I appreciate it so much. Skip, thank you much. Have 1906 01:40:41.960 --> 01:40:43.680 a good day, you. 1907 01:40:43.800 --> 01:40:45.960 Bet, you bet, Glenn, you have a good day and 1908 01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:48.119 rest of the weekend.

I shall be right back. 1910 01:40:52.199 --> 01:40:52.640 All right. 1911 01:40:52.800 --> 01:40:54.399 Welcome back to garden Line. Good to have you with 1912 01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:57.039 us this morning. I'm your host, Skip Richter, and we're 1913 01:40:57.039 --> 01:40:59.760 here to help you have success in your garden. That 1914 01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:01.960 that's how you go about it. Phone number is seven 1915 01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:04.560 to one three two one two k t r H 1916 01:41:04.680 --> 01:41:08.199 seven one three two one two kt r H. Folks 1917 01:41:08.239 --> 01:41:12.359 at Nelson plant Food one of our local plant food 1918 01:41:12.479 --> 01:41:15.039 producers here in the Greater Houston area been around a 1919 01:41:15.079 --> 01:41:18.840 long time. I've been popular for a long time because 1920 01:41:18.880 --> 01:41:22.720 our products work. I've tried their products and they are 1921 01:41:23.000 --> 01:41:25.560 everything I've ever tried. From Nelson Plant Food has been 1922 01:41:26.079 --> 01:41:30.479 an effective fertilizer product. And it's effective because they're designed 1923 01:41:30.920 --> 01:41:33.800 to be that way, meaning they're designed for our soils 1924 01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:36.840 and temperatures. They're designed for the plants that you would 1925 01:41:36.920 --> 01:41:43.039 use them on. For example, azalea and acid loving plant food, azaleas, blueberries, 1926 01:41:44.319 --> 01:41:50.239 the camellias for example, dogwoods, Guardina's, Holly's hydraegen. These are 1927 01:41:50.279 --> 01:41:54.199 all plants that benefit from azalea and acid loving plant 1928 01:41:54.239 --> 01:41:56.840 food from Nelson no it's part of the Nutri Star 1929 01:41:56.960 --> 01:42:00.159 line that's one of Nelson plant food lines and nutrist 1930 01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:05.319 and this particular one helps acidify, getting that pH in 1931 01:42:05.399 --> 01:42:08.800 a place where plants can thrive, where acid loving plants 1932 01:42:08.840 --> 01:42:12.119 can thrive. Because this pH moves too high or too 1933 01:42:12.239 --> 01:42:14.600 low or whatever, certain plants aren't going to be happy 1934 01:42:14.760 --> 01:42:18.600 well with azela food from the Nutri Star line. You're 1935 01:42:18.640 --> 01:42:20.800 going to have success. And don't just think of it 1936 01:42:21.039 --> 01:42:23.199 as those kinds of plants. Think of it as irises 1937 01:42:23.560 --> 01:42:26.840 for magnolias.

I can't 2008 01:46:25.079 --> 01:46:26.880 eve remember what I called it. It's something like no, 2009 01:46:27.039 --> 01:46:29.640 it's an in depth look nuts Edge and end depth look. 2010 01:46:29.680 --> 01:46:32.880 I can't even remember my own website anyway, when you 2011 01:46:32.960 --> 01:46:35.560 go there, there's also another one on nuts edge. It's briefer, 2012 01:46:35.640 --> 01:46:38.039 but you need to go read those because they are 2013 01:46:38.479 --> 01:46:41.479 very helpful in how to control it. I'm going to 2014 01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:44.399 tell you the fast answer, but I would encourage you 2015 01:46:44.439 --> 01:46:46.680 to go to my website gardening with Skip dot com 2016 01:46:46.800 --> 01:46:50.199 and read those free publications. They're very helpful. Now you 2017 01:46:50.279 --> 01:46:52.159 can do a couple of things. You're going to want 2018 01:46:52.159 --> 01:46:57.600 to use a product that contains halo sulfur on and 2019 01:46:57.920 --> 01:47:00.279 most of the time people buy it in some thing 2020 01:47:00.399 --> 01:47:06.159 called sedge hammer or sedge ender. There are other phone relations. 2021 01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:10.720 Again those are they're the same product. It's like generic 2022 01:47:10.840 --> 01:47:14.960 tylenol and not generic tile. It's the same ingredient. So 2023 01:47:15.720 --> 01:47:17.840 you just you just give which everyone you want, but 2024 01:47:18.359 --> 01:47:22.079 they're listed on that publication, Mix it according to the 2025 01:47:22.199 --> 01:47:25.680 label and spray it onto the foliage. It's going to 2026 01:47:25.760 --> 01:47:27.760 take it a while. Be patient. It may be two 2027 01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:30.399 weeks and you're going it's just barely looking like it's 2028 01:47:30.439 --> 01:47:34.439 getting sick. It works, trust me, it does. Anytime that 2029 01:47:34.600 --> 01:47:37.159 nutsedge comes back and has three to five leaves. You 2030 01:47:37.239 --> 01:47:40.640 need to spray it again because if you don't, what 2031 01:47:40.800 --> 01:47:43.159 happens is you'll kill the one you spray, but it 2032 01:47:43.239 --> 01:47:45.960 already has eight daughter plants, so you have eight times 2033 01:47:46.000 --> 01:47:49.000 the nuts said you had. And then people that's when 2034 01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:51.399 people tell me the spray didn't work. Well, the spray 2035 01:47:51.439 --> 01:47:54.039 didn't work because you waited and let it make eight 2036 01:47:54.119 --> 01:47:58.279 times more nuts edge before you spray. So make sure 2037 01:47:58.319 --> 01:48:01.840 and do that. I have got to run here in 2038 01:48:02.039 --> 01:48:05.439 just a bit, but that is the fastest answer that 2039 01:48:05.479 --> 01:48:07.399 I can give you.

Hey, Ruth, Welcome to garden Line. 2117 01:52:18.279 --> 01:52:20.800 Hi Skip, I have a quick question. 2118 01:52:22.680 --> 01:52:29.479 About now it's leaving my brain the pre emergent Okay, barricade. 2119 01:52:31.399 --> 01:52:31.600 Yep. 2120 01:52:31.720 --> 01:52:36.039 I have my yards scheduled for corporation and compost top 2121 01:52:36.159 --> 01:52:40.199 dressing in mid November. Should I put barricade down now 2122 01:52:40.439 --> 01:52:43.159 or will that be negated by the correoration. 2123 01:52:46.159 --> 01:52:49.279 That is a that's a tough call. When if you 2124 01:52:49.399 --> 01:52:52.640 put the barricade down now, it'll be ready whenever the 2125 01:52:52.680 --> 01:52:56.479 weeds sprout. If you wait until after the November aerration, 2126 01:52:57.119 --> 01:53:00.359 you're probably already gonna have weeds that have sprouted by 2127 01:53:00.399 --> 01:53:02.479 that time. There are some that's brought in November and 2128 01:53:02.520 --> 01:53:04.920 December and whatnot, but we like to get ahead of 2129 01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:07.520 them all now the problem of putting barricade down now 2130 01:53:08.159 --> 01:53:10.800 is whenever they come in in core air rate. They're 2131 01:53:10.840 --> 01:53:13.359 making a hole and bringing soil up to the surface 2132 01:53:13.439 --> 01:53:16.600 to sit on top, and you potentially could get some 2133 01:53:16.760 --> 01:53:21.680 weed germination in that. I think, all things considered, i'd 2134 01:53:21.720 --> 01:53:24.399 go ahead and do the barricade now, and then in 2135 01:53:24.520 --> 01:53:27.800 November do the cororation and compost stop dressing. The compost 2136 01:53:27.880 --> 01:53:31.199 top dressing will help a little bit with weed germination too, 2137 01:53:31.239 --> 01:53:33.439 because compost shades the soil a little bit. It's not 2138 01:53:33.560 --> 01:53:35.800 a thick layer of compost top dressing, but it helps 2139 01:53:35.840 --> 01:53:36.319 a little bit. 2140 01:53:37.960 --> 01:53:41.560 And will the compost top dressing replace the fall fertilization 2141 01:53:42.760 --> 01:53:44.039 or do I need to fertilize on top? 2142 01:53:44.199 --> 01:53:47.960 No, it's not near the quantity. Yeah, the fall fertilization. 2143 01:53:48.239 --> 01:53:51.600 I would get that done now too. Go ahead and 2144 01:53:51.760 --> 01:53:54.640 let's see you were in full Sure, Yeah, I would 2145 01:53:54.680 --> 01:53:57.439 go ahead and do that in the next two weeks 2146 01:53:57.560 --> 01:54:01.159 or so. I'd get the barricade out in early October. 2147 01:54:01.760 --> 01:54:04.319 And the longer you wait, the more risk you run 2148 01:54:04.399 --> 01:54:07.039 of a colfront coming in with some rain and here 2149 01:54:07.119 --> 01:54:10.920 come the weed seed sprouting before you've gotten the barricade down. Well, 2150 01:54:10.960 --> 01:54:12.439 you just gave me a whole bunch of work to do. 2151 01:54:14.560 --> 01:54:17.840 I know, I did I'm sorry, but that's that's the 2152 01:54:17.960 --> 01:54:21.560 fun part, you know, funny. You know there's a there 2153 01:54:22.600 --> 01:54:25.159 that is the fun part. There's a quote I like, 2154 01:54:25.359 --> 01:54:28.880 and it says, when I'm overwhelmed and stressed and unable 2155 01:54:28.960 --> 01:54:30.920 to think, I go out in the garden to work. 2156 01:54:31.000 --> 01:54:33.359 It's cheaper than a shrink. So think of it this way. 2157 01:54:33.399 --> 01:54:34.399 I just saved your money. 2158 01:54:36.520 --> 01:54:37.680 Thank you, Bye. 2159 01:54:39.479 --> 01:54:43.520 Bye bye. You take care. Yeah, that's right. D and 2160 01:54:43.560 --> 01:54:46.479 D Feed and Tomball is your hometown feed store out there. 2161 01:54:46.520 --> 01:54:48.680 They're west Tomball on twenty nine to twenty. If you 2162 01:54:48.760 --> 01:54:50.960 hit out twenty nine to twenty, they're just low ways 2163 01:54:51.000 --> 01:54:53.159 out on the left hand side. D and D Feed's 2164 01:54:53.159 --> 01:54:54.800 been around a while and they just keep making the 2165 01:54:54.840 --> 01:54:58.039 place better. Last summer they expanded it made it even 2166 01:54:58.159 --> 01:55:01.159 better place than it was before. They've got their nitrofoss 2167 01:55:01.199 --> 01:55:04.279 fertilizers in. You know, you can find things like you 2168 01:55:04.399 --> 01:55:06.640 hear me talk about here on garden line. They've got 2169 01:55:06.720 --> 01:55:10.840 it there at D and Defeed inside. Oh, by the way, 2170 01:55:10.880 --> 01:55:13.840 they also have age leaf, more composts. They've got airloom soils, 2171 01:55:13.920 --> 01:55:17.039 rose soil, their fruit berry and citrus soil, their veggie 2172 01:55:17.079 --> 01:55:21.000 and herb soil, I mean they stock up and when 2173 01:55:21.039 --> 01:55:23.319 you go inside you're going to find things for weeds 2174 01:55:23.439 --> 01:55:27.159 and diseases and insects on your plants. I check in 2175 01:55:27.279 --> 01:55:29.319 there every now and then, and I'm always amazed at 2176 01:55:29.520 --> 01:55:32.319 the supply of things. Some things I would have thought, yeah, 2177 01:55:32.399 --> 01:55:34.800 you probably can't buy that over the counter. They've got 2178 01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:38.199 it at D and Defeat. Just to help you have success, 2179 01:55:38.520 --> 01:55:41.479 that's what they're all about. D and Defeed on twenty 2180 01:55:41.600 --> 01:55:43.920 nine to twenty just west of Tomball. Here's a phone 2181 01:55:44.000 --> 01:55:48.399 number two eight one three five one seventy one forty four. 2182 01:55:49.199 --> 01:55:51.640 We're going to head now out to Chapel Hill and 2183 01:55:51.800 --> 01:55:55.039 talk to Ralph. Hey, Ralph, welcome to garden Line. Well, 2184 01:55:55.119 --> 01:55:56.239 thank you very much. 2185 01:55:56.560 --> 01:55:59.279 Appreciate your show. Box Woods. 2186 01:55:59.439 --> 01:56:06.359 Yes, sir, the occasionally, sometimes frequently, we have individual stems 2187 01:56:06.439 --> 01:56:10.520 and leaves just die, so we cut them out. The 2188 01:56:10.600 --> 01:56:13.319 rest of the slant looks fine and typically it fills in. 2189 01:56:14.039 --> 01:56:16.239 But what can we do to know what's going on 2190 01:56:16.479 --> 01:56:17.119 and to prevent this? 2191 01:56:19.439 --> 01:56:22.680 You know, it's weird. Different things can cause that. You know, 2192 01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:25.680 a couple of Decembers ago we had an early freeze 2193 01:56:25.760 --> 01:56:29.000 that did some stem damage. The boxers weren't ready and 2194 01:56:29.119 --> 01:56:32.800 they got some damage like that. If you've got a 2195 01:56:32.960 --> 01:56:35.880 canker disease of the stem that kills the stem, then 2196 01:56:35.960 --> 01:56:40.079 everything out from that spot turns turns tan colored on 2197 01:56:40.199 --> 01:56:42.520 a box wood and dye, and you just want to 2198 01:56:42.520 --> 01:56:45.239 prune out below them. When you prone out, get some 2199 01:56:45.399 --> 01:56:48.720 lyesol and spray your printer in between cuts. Just in 2200 01:56:48.880 --> 01:56:51.439 case it was a canker on the stem. You don't 2201 01:56:51.439 --> 01:56:54.560 want to spread that disease with your pruning wounds. So 2202 01:56:54.880 --> 01:56:58.279 that's just a side tip for that. It could be 2203 01:56:58.319 --> 01:57:01.680 something going on in the soil diseases. There's nematodes that 2204 01:57:01.760 --> 01:57:03.600 attack box woods, and so it's kind of hard to 2205 01:57:03.640 --> 01:57:06.520 say what it is. Just make sure they get adequate 2206 01:57:06.640 --> 01:57:11.239 water and do that sanitary pruning. That's what I would 2207 01:57:11.279 --> 01:57:15.479 suggest based on what you've told me. All Right, all right, 2208 01:57:15.600 --> 01:57:18.840 we'll do that. Thank you, all right, Ralph, all right, 2209 01:57:18.960 --> 01:57:21.960 have fun, boy. Chapel Hill is a beautiful place. I 2210 01:57:22.199 --> 01:57:27.840 envy you living out there. Thanks thanks for Colin. Appreciate 2211 01:57:27.920 --> 01:57:30.079 that a lot. Yep, that's right. While ago I was 2212 01:57:30.119 --> 01:57:34.319 talking about the barricade of Lady called in about barricade 2213 01:57:34.359 --> 01:57:36.600 Ruth did, and I forgot to tell you. You know, 2214 01:57:36.640 --> 01:57:38.279 if you want to buy any of the three step 2215 01:57:38.439 --> 01:57:40.920 products from Nitrofoss, you can go to in Chenney Gardens 2216 01:57:40.920 --> 01:57:42.960 and Richmond. You can go to Shades of Texas up 2217 01:57:43.000 --> 01:57:45.079 in the Woodlands. You can go to Plants for All 2218 01:57:45.119 --> 01:57:47.399 Seasons on Tombaill Parkway, the D and D Feed. I 2219 01:57:47.560 --> 01:57:49.840 was just telling you about them. They've got it down 2220 01:57:50.319 --> 01:57:54.399 down in Student Airline area or over in stupid a 2221 01:57:54.880 --> 01:57:57.159 hiding and Feed carries them out there as well, so 2222 01:57:57.239 --> 01:58:02.079 they're really really easy to find. Uh, let's see. I'm 2223 01:58:02.079 --> 01:58:05.079 gonna go now to Charlie at West U. Hey, Charlie, 2224 01:58:05.119 --> 01:58:06.079 welcome to garden Line. 2225 01:58:07.399 --> 01:58:15.319 Hi, Skip, I have newds in the yard. And and 2226 01:58:15.560 --> 01:58:19.279 also it's new Asian jasmine. The person that put it 2227 01:58:19.359 --> 01:58:22.960 in advised me to I could to water it for 2228 01:58:23.159 --> 01:58:24.479 five minutes. 2229 01:58:24.840 --> 01:58:26.399 A day in the morning. 2230 01:58:27.760 --> 01:58:31.520 And every other day. Okay, but that doesn't seem like enough. 2231 01:58:31.560 --> 01:58:34.199 It seems like yeah, no, but. 2232 01:58:34.680 --> 01:58:39.359 I'm hearing music in my ear, so yeah, I'm hearing 2233 01:58:39.439 --> 01:58:41.039 music America. I'm gonna give you a quick one. If 2234 01:58:41.039 --> 01:58:42.479 you want to hang on over the break, we can 2235 01:58:42.560 --> 01:58:45.399 keep talking. But basically the first week, twice a day, 2236 01:58:46.239 --> 01:58:48.800 not too much, but twice a day. The second week 2237 01:58:49.039 --> 01:58:52.920 every day once a day, and the third week every 2238 01:58:52.960 --> 01:58:54.840 other day, and then you can back off. 2239 01:58:57.359 --> 01:58:57.960 I'll be okay. 2240 01:58:58.000 --> 01:58:59.680 How long should I keep it on in the first 2241 01:59:00.039 --> 01:59:01.000 especially the first week? 2242 01:59:01.800 --> 01:59:04.520 Oh just put a put a straight side container and 2243 01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:06.479 water until you've caught about a half inch of water. 2244 01:59:06.800 --> 01:59:07.319 That's enough. 2245 01:59:07.680 --> 01:59:11.800 Okay, all right, okay, you bet. 2246 01:59:12.840 --> 01:59:18.359 All right, Thank you, sir. I appreciate that I am 2247 01:59:18.439 --> 01:59:20.800 not hearing music, so I'm assuming I'm done. I'll be 2248 01:59:20.920 --> 01:59:21.319 right back. 2249 01:59:24.119 --> 01:59:27.880 Welcome to Katie r. H Garden Line with scamp Rictor. 2250 01:59:36.720 --> 01:59:38.359 Just watch him as. 2251 01:59:43.600 --> 01:59:53.680 Many birthdays. All right, folks, welcome back, Welcome back to 2252 01:59:53.720 --> 01:59:56.680 your guard line. We are entering our last hour of 2253 01:59:56.720 --> 01:59:59.079 the morning, nine to ten. We're here from six am 2254 01:59:59.159 --> 02:00:03.640 to ten am every Saturday and Sunday morning, and so 2255 02:00:03.880 --> 02:00:05.800 some of you have called in today. I have said 2256 02:00:05.800 --> 02:00:08.319 this the first time to listen in. Welcome. Tell your 2257 02:00:08.319 --> 02:00:10.680 friends and neighbors about it. We get calls from pretty 2258 02:00:10.680 --> 02:00:13.479 far away, so where they live, I think they can 2259 02:00:13.560 --> 02:00:16.239 find some things that will be helpful to them. And 2260 02:00:16.439 --> 02:00:18.319 maybe that neighbor that won't take care of his yard 2261 02:00:18.479 --> 02:00:20.960 just I'm just saying, you know, maybe an't, hey, why 2262 02:00:20.960 --> 02:00:23.199 don't you listen to garden line. Maybe we can help 2263 02:00:23.239 --> 02:00:28.319 with that too. No promises there though, No promises there, 2264 02:00:28.479 --> 02:00:33.479 that's for sure. I've wanted to tell you a little 2265 02:00:33.560 --> 02:00:37.199 bit about Pierce Caapes. I've talked about them a lot, 2266 02:00:37.279 --> 02:00:40.279 and I've told you things like, if you need landscape lighting, 2267 02:00:40.520 --> 02:00:42.520 they can do it. If you need hard escape, they 2268 02:00:42.600 --> 02:00:44.960 can do it. If you have drainage issues, they can 2269 02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:48.079 do it. If you want design work, they can do it. 2270 02:00:48.520 --> 02:00:50.439 I know that's a lot, right that, right there is 2271 02:00:50.520 --> 02:00:54.000 more than not, but it gets better. They do quarterly maintenance. 2272 02:00:54.319 --> 02:00:57.720 So your beds aren't looking really good, just sign up 2273 02:00:57.920 --> 02:00:59.399 with the Peerscape. Say I want you to do the 2274 02:00:59.479 --> 02:01:02.279 quarterly man and it's they'll come out, they'll weed, they'll fertilize, 2275 02:01:02.359 --> 02:01:06.880 they'll put in extra molts. They'll change color seasonally, you know, 2276 02:01:06.960 --> 02:01:09.560 every time we change from summer to winter and so on, 2277 02:01:09.880 --> 02:01:11.640 it's time to change the flowers out. And they'll do 2278 02:01:11.720 --> 02:01:14.439 all that air rating, trimming, they'll check the irrigation make 2279 02:01:14.479 --> 02:01:17.800 sure it's working. That's a pretty cool thing. But if 2280 02:01:17.840 --> 02:01:23.680 you want to create just an outstanding outdoor location, I'm 2281 02:01:23.680 --> 02:01:27.439 talking about an outdoor living room and yes, outdoors is 2282 02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:30.800 rooms too, to go out to have a barbecue pet, 2283 02:01:30.880 --> 02:01:34.479 maybe a beautiful rock barbecue pet, a gorgeous water feature 2284 02:01:34.720 --> 02:01:37.800 in the landscape. I mean, you want to create magic outside, 2285 02:01:38.159 --> 02:01:40.800 they can do that. If Piercescapes does it all, I'd 2286 02:01:41.119 --> 02:01:43.399 highly recommend you go to the website because when you 2287 02:01:43.479 --> 02:01:45.039 get there, you're going to see the kind of work 2288 02:01:45.079 --> 02:01:49.319 they do.

That's typically a very slow decline, 2471 02:11:16.359 --> 02:11:18.199 not a not a fairly quick death. 2472 02:11:18.800 --> 02:11:18.920 Uh. 2473 02:11:19.159 --> 02:11:21.920 There is a fungal disease or two that gets in 2474 02:11:22.039 --> 02:11:24.319 the roots that can kill them. And when you kill 2475 02:11:24.359 --> 02:11:26.960 the roots, the top turns brown really quick. And so 2476 02:11:27.920 --> 02:11:30.399 that is a possibility if you will take one that 2477 02:11:30.600 --> 02:11:33.479 is not dead but dying, it needs to be alive, 2478 02:11:33.800 --> 02:11:36.239 but it needs to be like, obviously I'm not. This 2479 02:11:36.359 --> 02:11:38.560 one's going to be gone. You know, you've seen it die. 2480 02:11:38.880 --> 02:11:40.720 You've watched them die. You know it looks like, so, 2481 02:11:41.159 --> 02:11:44.039 this one's dying, but it's not dead. Take your pocket knife, 2482 02:11:44.079 --> 02:11:47.720 a good sharp knife, and slice vertically down the stem 2483 02:11:47.880 --> 02:11:50.640 near the base. Down that what will be the trunk 2484 02:11:50.760 --> 02:11:55.159 or the main branches down low, and look underneath the bark. 2485 02:11:55.319 --> 02:11:58.239 It should be kind of a creamy colored, creamy white, 2486 02:11:58.359 --> 02:12:00.600 or maybe a little bit of green in there. That's normal. 2487 02:12:01.199 --> 02:12:03.439 But if what you see looks more like an old 2488 02:12:03.600 --> 02:12:07.520 cigarette filter, it's got those brown and gray tar stains 2489 02:12:07.640 --> 02:12:11.359 and stuff. Yes, that's a fungal disease symptom, and there's 2490 02:12:11.479 --> 02:12:13.800 not an easy cure for that. You're going to need 2491 02:12:13.840 --> 02:12:17.279 to go with something that doesn't get those diseases. But 2492 02:12:17.399 --> 02:12:19.800 that is a possibility. Now, it could be that different 2493 02:12:19.840 --> 02:12:22.760 things are causing different plants that yours or your neighbors 2494 02:12:22.880 --> 02:12:26.479 to die. It's probably not one cause that's doing it all, 2495 02:12:26.680 --> 02:12:29.800 but those are possibilities. There are cankers that can hit 2496 02:12:29.880 --> 02:12:33.520 the top of the plant kill branches of them, but 2497 02:12:33.680 --> 02:12:36.640 there you typically see a branch dye the rest of 2498 02:12:36.720 --> 02:12:39.479 it's alive. Then another branch dies and so on, and 2499 02:12:39.600 --> 02:12:41.439 that doesn't fit your description very. 2500 02:12:41.359 --> 02:12:45.359 Well, Well, yeah, there's. 2501 02:12:46.880 --> 02:12:49.760 Here at the hell there's well as everage they're ten 2502 02:12:49.840 --> 02:12:53.000 at fifteen, twenty years old, and just one one right 2503 02:12:53.079 --> 02:12:56.159 on the end they just completely just i mean is gone. 2504 02:12:57.000 --> 02:13:00.399 And my neighbors over there they've got some I'm about 2505 02:13:00.399 --> 02:13:03.000 three years old and it maybe every every other. 2506 02:13:02.920 --> 02:13:03.880 One is just did. 2507 02:13:05.960 --> 02:13:10.279 Yeah, well you know the only the only, yeah, Charlie, 2508 02:13:10.319 --> 02:13:12.239 the only way to know for sure would be to 2509 02:13:12.319 --> 02:13:14.840 take a plant that is sick and dig it up, 2510 02:13:14.920 --> 02:13:17.000 shake the soil off, get as much of the roots 2511 02:13:17.000 --> 02:13:19.359 as you can, shake the soil off, and send it 2512 02:13:19.479 --> 02:13:22.800 to the plant clinic, State plant clinic up in College Station. 2513 02:13:23.239 --> 02:13:23.359 Now. 2514 02:13:23.399 --> 02:13:25.439 You can mail it there, or you can just drive 2515 02:13:25.479 --> 02:13:27.640 it up, and maybe may be easier to drive it up, 2516 02:13:27.680 --> 02:13:31.239 but either way they charge a fee. But they bring 2517 02:13:31.319 --> 02:13:33.840 it in. They culture the disease out in a petri 2518 02:13:34.000 --> 02:13:36.239 dish and they look at it under a microscope and 2519 02:13:36.359 --> 02:13:39.680 they'll tell you exactly what kill that plant, and once 2520 02:13:39.760 --> 02:13:42.600 you know that, then they can also recommend what you 2521 02:13:42.680 --> 02:13:45.479 should do about it. But otherwise I'm kind of giving 2522 02:13:45.520 --> 02:13:49.319 you a shotgun blast of possibilities. So if you've got 2523 02:13:49.359 --> 02:13:52.840 a whole bunch of plants, it's worth definitely worth having 2524 02:13:52.920 --> 02:13:55.760 an analysis done because at least then you know where 2525 02:13:55.800 --> 02:13:58.079 to go from there, because you're going to spend a 2526 02:13:58.079 --> 02:13:59.600 lot of money replacing plants. 2527 02:14:00.399 --> 02:14:01.039 Yeah, exactly. 2528 02:14:02.359 --> 02:14:02.560 Yeah. 2529 02:14:02.720 --> 02:14:04.520 And this guy across the street, he's a whare he 2530 02:14:04.560 --> 02:14:07.319 dog them open and replanted and during the state they did. 2531 02:14:07.920 --> 02:14:10.680 You know, you're young, young. 2532 02:14:10.520 --> 02:14:14.279 Girl that he needs. He needs to do the same thing. 2533 02:14:14.760 --> 02:14:15.560 That's what I would do. 2534 02:14:16.159 --> 02:14:16.279 Uh. 2535 02:14:16.640 --> 02:14:18.439 You know, if you're having that kind of trouble, there's 2536 02:14:18.439 --> 02:14:21.520 something wrong, and I would try my little slice through 2537 02:14:21.560 --> 02:14:23.760 the bark thing. See if you see that. If not, 2538 02:14:24.439 --> 02:14:28.000 the State Plank clinic is the is the best way 2539 02:14:28.079 --> 02:14:31.119 to go. That way, you you find out and you 2540 02:14:31.399 --> 02:14:35.680 you stop the continual loss. Okay, sir, okay, appreciate you 2541 02:14:35.800 --> 02:14:36.319 taking my call. 2542 02:14:36.479 --> 02:14:37.399 Have a good one. Bye bye. 2543 02:14:38.840 --> 02:14:41.159 Yes, sir, you too, Thank you very much. I appreciate 2544 02:14:41.199 --> 02:14:41.520 your call. 2545 02:14:41.880 --> 02:14:42.000 Uh. 2546 02:14:42.079 --> 02:14:45.439 Ace Hardware Stores. I like Ace Hardware Store because they 2547 02:14:45.479 --> 02:14:47.279 have everything you need. Do you want to have a 2548 02:14:47.319 --> 02:14:50.159 beautiful lawn? You don't have a bountiful landscape. Ace has 2549 02:14:50.199 --> 02:14:52.399 got you covered. Do you want to have beautiful outdoor areas. 2550 02:14:52.600 --> 02:14:55.279 ACE has got you covered. How about barbecuing. I was 2551 02:14:55.319 --> 02:14:58.159 in an ACE the other day. I was down in Wharton, 2552 02:14:58.199 --> 02:15:01.239 Texas in Ace Hardware down there just opened up and 2553 02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:04.479 oh my gosh, the traggers and the big green egg, 2554 02:15:04.720 --> 02:15:08.760 you know, the weber grills. It's just I love barbecuing 2555 02:15:08.800 --> 02:15:10.479 in the fall because finally we're getting a little break 2556 02:15:10.520 --> 02:15:12.880 in the late day from that heat. Oh it's good. 2557 02:15:13.159 --> 02:15:17.359 Ace Hardware has your fire ant control products. And listen. 2558 02:15:17.600 --> 02:15:21.199 Fall is for tackling fire ants. Easy to remember. Falls, 2559 02:15:21.239 --> 02:15:25.560 football season, falls, fire ant tackling season two. You just 2560 02:15:25.640 --> 02:15:28.680 get you a good quality bait from Ace Hardware. Put 2561 02:15:28.720 --> 02:15:32.640 it out now, do it now, minimum application of pesticide. 2562 02:15:32.800 --> 02:15:35.960 There's even organic baits, by the way. Put them out 2563 02:15:36.159 --> 02:15:39.399 at a low rate over a large area and shut 2564 02:15:39.479 --> 02:15:42.039 those things down. It's important to do that. Falls in 2565 02:15:42.159 --> 02:15:46.760 important season, don't let them go into winter strong. Let's 2566 02:15:46.840 --> 02:15:48.920 go to Jersey Village and we're going to talk to 2567 02:15:49.159 --> 02:15:49.479 w C. 2568 02:15:49.920 --> 02:15:50.479 Hey, w C. 2569 02:15:50.640 --> 02:15:51.520 Welcome to guard Line. 2570 02:15:52.560 --> 02:15:55.239 Good morning, Thank you. A couple of quick questions. 2571 02:15:55.600 --> 02:15:58.560 Yes, sir, look in my yard. 2572 02:15:58.680 --> 02:16:02.680 I've got a bunch of chamber better Virginia butt weed 2573 02:16:03.880 --> 02:16:06.439 and then some other type of weed. I can't find 2574 02:16:06.479 --> 02:16:11.159 a name for it, but it's a really woody type stam. 2575 02:16:11.399 --> 02:16:16.279 It's really short. It grows in crops. So I'm looking 2576 02:16:16.399 --> 02:16:19.520 for if if you've got a weed and see a 2577 02:16:19.680 --> 02:16:21.920 fall weed and sea that you would recommend. 2578 02:16:24.720 --> 02:16:27.800 Well for the things you're saying, a fall weed and 2579 02:16:27.880 --> 02:16:30.399 feed won't work. You have to do it in the spring, 2580 02:16:30.800 --> 02:16:34.239 and I would use just the weed control product, the 2581 02:16:34.360 --> 02:16:38.760 pre emergent weed control product in the spring. Now those 2582 02:16:39.680 --> 02:16:43.280 plants can be sprayed with a post emergent broad leaf 2583 02:16:43.360 --> 02:16:47.920 weed control. If you use something called celsius, like the 2584 02:16:48.040 --> 02:16:52.159 temperature celsius. Now it comes in little kay I've used. 2585 02:16:52.600 --> 02:16:55.719 I've used Bonair Ultra before and it seems to work. 2586 02:16:58.120 --> 02:17:00.319 Okay, Well, if that's working for you, you can use that. 2587 02:17:00.879 --> 02:17:04.440 You just with the boneyed weed beater Ultra. You want 2588 02:17:04.520 --> 02:17:07.600 to not use it when the temperatures are, you know, 2589 02:17:07.920 --> 02:17:11.879 above the mid eighties, so maybe cool off a little 2590 02:17:11.879 --> 02:17:14.360 bit and then use it. But the Celsius is a 2591 02:17:14.440 --> 02:17:18.000 little bit more forgiving. Either way. You can go either way. 2592 02:17:18.040 --> 02:17:21.719 It's fine, just go after himnother one that you're saying 2593 02:17:21.920 --> 02:17:24.799 is the third one. You described. I think he says 2594 02:17:24.879 --> 02:17:27.520 a little bit woody or something. It was done lower growing. 2595 02:17:28.280 --> 02:17:31.600 That could be a inch and a half long. Sorry, 2596 02:17:31.639 --> 02:17:32.280 I'll be quiet. 2597 02:17:34.559 --> 02:17:37.280 That's okay. Why don't we do this. I'm going to 2598 02:17:37.360 --> 02:17:39.760 put you on hold and would you send me a 2599 02:17:39.879 --> 02:17:44.799 picture of it by email? My producer, Will Trey, will 2600 02:17:44.840 --> 02:17:48.200 give you. He'll give you the email to send it. 2601 02:17:48.280 --> 02:17:49.959 To get up close if you have to pull it 2602 02:17:50.079 --> 02:17:51.440 up and set it on the table so I can 2603 02:17:51.520 --> 02:17:54.399 really see the weed up close and good focus, then 2604 02:17:54.440 --> 02:17:57.280 I can reply with the best approach. I'm not sure 2605 02:17:57.360 --> 02:17:59.840 the products we're talking about are going to be effective 2606 02:17:59.879 --> 02:18:04.719 against that weed, but I need to identify it first, okay, okay. 2607 02:18:04.799 --> 02:18:08.559 So best not to use a weed and feed. I've 2608 02:18:08.680 --> 02:18:13.040 tried barricade in the spring before and the late fall 2609 02:18:13.600 --> 02:18:14.840 doesn't seem to work for me. 2610 02:18:15.159 --> 02:18:19.239 Yep ye, Well, it works on broad leaf weeds and 2611 02:18:19.360 --> 02:18:22.559 grassy weeds that are coming from seed. So if you 2612 02:18:22.600 --> 02:18:26.360 put barricade out now, that's going to take care of clover, hindbit, 2613 02:18:26.920 --> 02:18:30.159 chick weed, carpet weed, all those cool season weeds. It's 2614 02:18:30.200 --> 02:18:32.639 going to do a pretty good job on those. Now, 2615 02:18:32.719 --> 02:18:35.799 depending on the weed, you know, it's like any medicine. 2616 02:18:36.319 --> 02:18:38.879 It's not for everything under the sun. Not you know, 2617 02:18:39.040 --> 02:18:42.040 it's not going to control every possible weed that could germinate, 2618 02:18:42.120 --> 02:18:44.079 so sometimes we have to switch over to something else 2619 02:18:44.200 --> 02:18:47.399 for a specific problem. But as far as a good 2620 02:18:47.680 --> 02:18:51.200 broad wide spectrum of control, barricade should be pretty good 2621 02:18:51.200 --> 02:18:53.159 for that, but not against existing weeds. 2622 02:18:53.200 --> 02:18:57.959 Okay, Okay, it's going to put. 2623 02:18:57.840 --> 02:18:59.760 You on hold and Trey will pick up and give 2624 02:18:59.799 --> 02:19:01.799 you an email, send me a picture. We'll take it 2625 02:19:01.840 --> 02:19:06.639 from here. Appreciate that call very much. Absolutely. I've talked 2626 02:19:06.680 --> 02:19:07.639 about azemite before. 2627 02:19:07.719 --> 02:19:07.879 You know. 2628 02:19:07.959 --> 02:19:12.079 Azimite is the trace mineral supplement, and people get confused 2629 02:19:12.079 --> 02:19:14.159 a lot. They go, well, if I do azmite, do 2630 02:19:14.200 --> 02:19:18.479 I have to fertilize? Okay, well, technically any nutrient is fertilizing, 2631 02:19:18.600 --> 02:19:21.920 but when we say fertilizing, we're usually talking about the 2632 02:19:22.000 --> 02:19:26.040 big three numbers on the bag, you know, the the nitrogen, phosphorus, 2633 02:19:26.079 --> 02:19:28.959 and potassium. We need lots of that for the lawn. 2634 02:19:29.680 --> 02:19:32.159 Azmite is trace minerals. We just need a little bit, 2635 02:19:32.440 --> 02:19:34.840 but they're essential minerals, so if you don't have them, 2636 02:19:34.840 --> 02:19:37.319 you can't grow plants. For example. Do you know that 2637 02:19:37.399 --> 02:19:40.760 if you could take every molecule of manganese out of 2638 02:19:40.799 --> 02:19:43.680 the soil, no plant could grow. If you took every 2639 02:19:43.760 --> 02:19:46.360 molecule of iron eye of the soil, no plant could grow, 2640 02:19:46.920 --> 02:19:51.399 or zinc or others. Azmite provides trace minerals that are 2641 02:19:51.479 --> 02:19:53.840 essential for plants. I recommend it about once a year. 2642 02:19:53.959 --> 02:19:56.239 Put it out. You can go to azmite Texas dot 2643 02:19:56.319 --> 02:19:59.920 com for more information. Just to remember, it's particle size 2644 02:20:00.280 --> 02:20:03.399 different than your fertilizers, so don't mix it in the 2645 02:20:03.479 --> 02:20:06.920 same hopper. Put out the fertilizer, and if you want 2646 02:20:06.959 --> 02:20:08.559 to do azemite at that time of the year, put 2647 02:20:08.600 --> 02:20:10.760 out the azmite. You can do azebait at any time 2648 02:20:10.799 --> 02:20:13.799 of the year. It's not like nitrogen fertilizers where we're 2649 02:20:13.840 --> 02:20:17.000 doing the mainly during the growing season. Uh asm at 2650 02:20:17.000 --> 02:20:18.280 any time of the year, but do it once a 2651 02:20:18.360 --> 02:20:20.959 year asimite Texas dot com.

Hope you can make it I'm going to 2717 02:23:42.440 --> 02:23:45.799 go now to Cleveland and we're going to talk to David. Hey, David, 2718 02:23:45.840 --> 02:23:46.799 welcome to garden Line. 2719 02:23:48.200 --> 02:23:49.680 Hey, thank you for taking my call. 2720 02:23:50.399 --> 02:23:57.319 I have a question about us overwintering Halpaania pepper plants 2721 02:23:57.360 --> 02:23:58.639 that are in a container. 2722 02:24:00.159 --> 02:24:02.159 I've seen stuff like that on YouTube. 2723 02:24:02.200 --> 02:24:03.799 I didn't know if it would really work. 2724 02:24:03.719 --> 02:24:06.559 Or not, of wanting to get your opinion on that. 2725 02:24:09.000 --> 02:24:12.840 Yeah, you absolutely can. So what you're gonna do is, 2726 02:24:13.520 --> 02:24:17.040 whenever we're going to have weather, oh let's say the 2727 02:24:17.159 --> 02:24:19.879 mid thirties or something, go ahead and bring them inside. 2728 02:24:20.040 --> 02:24:22.120 Put them in a garage, put them wherever you got them. 2729 02:24:22.159 --> 02:24:23.479 How big are these pots. 2730 02:24:25.040 --> 02:24:25.200 Are? 2731 02:24:25.280 --> 02:24:26.959 They are a five gallon buckets? 2732 02:24:28.799 --> 02:24:33.639 Five gallon? Okay, well, you know I just use a 2733 02:24:33.760 --> 02:24:36.840 handtruck a dolly. You know, you can slide it under 2734 02:24:36.879 --> 02:24:39.840 the lip, strap them to the dolly, a little strap 2735 02:24:39.920 --> 02:24:42.319 around the pot, and it makes it effortless. I mean, 2736 02:24:42.319 --> 02:24:43.680 if you want to bend over and pick them up, 2737 02:24:43.719 --> 02:24:46.959 five gallons, not too bad. But if you either way, 2738 02:24:47.159 --> 02:24:49.639 just get them into a protected garage area when it's 2739 02:24:49.680 --> 02:24:52.159 going to be cold. They're not going to be happy 2740 02:24:52.239 --> 02:24:54.360 and they're not gonna do much, but they'll stay alive. 2741 02:24:54.479 --> 02:24:56.559 That way, you need to make sure the soil stays 2742 02:24:56.639 --> 02:24:59.639 moist but not soggy. You don't have to water much 2743 02:25:00.079 --> 02:25:02.920 in the cool season because the demands are very low. 2744 02:25:03.200 --> 02:25:05.319 But you just need to watch it because if he 2745 02:25:05.360 --> 02:25:08.559 gets droughty, that's that's going to hurt him. But I 2746 02:25:08.680 --> 02:25:11.760 have carried peppers over. I've carried them over in ground, 2747 02:25:12.360 --> 02:25:14.399 but there you're having to go to pretty great links 2748 02:25:14.680 --> 02:25:16.959 to cover them up and protect the base, and they 2749 02:25:17.000 --> 02:25:19.079 may die back a little bit and then come back. 2750 02:25:19.799 --> 02:25:22.159 But in the containers you've got the advantage of being 2751 02:25:22.159 --> 02:25:24.680 able to just move into a protected spot. Now, if 2752 02:25:24.719 --> 02:25:26.360 you want to go to great links and put an 2753 02:25:26.399 --> 02:25:29.799 indoor light up for plants in a garage or someplace 2754 02:25:29.879 --> 02:25:32.799 where they can just stay there and get good quality 2755 02:25:32.920 --> 02:25:35.040 light down close to the plant, you can do that, 2756 02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:37.280 but it's got to be very bright and very close 2757 02:25:37.319 --> 02:25:37.879 to the plant. 2758 02:25:40.360 --> 02:25:43.319 Yes, I happen to be an electrician, and I have 2759 02:25:43.520 --> 02:25:46.920 some hot bake commercial lights that I could put over 2760 02:25:46.959 --> 02:25:50.159 them that are very very bright LEDs. 2761 02:25:51.319 --> 02:25:53.840 And Okay, but do I need to pune them back? 2762 02:25:53.959 --> 02:25:55.200 Do I need to pun them back in? 2763 02:25:55.360 --> 02:25:59.879 And you don't need to. I would just leave them 2764 02:26:00.440 --> 02:26:04.559 and let them be unless the growth of them is 2765 02:26:04.680 --> 02:26:06.760 getting in the way of moving them around. If you 2766 02:26:06.879 --> 02:26:08.639 need to, if you need to pune them to move 2767 02:26:08.680 --> 02:26:12.559 them easier, that's fine. But pruning stimulates new growth, and 2768 02:26:12.600 --> 02:26:14.120 we don't want them to try to grow right now. 2769 02:26:14.280 --> 02:26:16.479 We want them to settle in and just be on 2770 02:26:16.639 --> 02:26:19.239 hold until we get to spring. Just make sure those 2771 02:26:19.399 --> 02:26:21.600 led lights have got a good blend of red and 2772 02:26:21.680 --> 02:26:24.559 blue spectrum inum for the plants to do their best. 2773 02:26:28.559 --> 02:26:31.719 Alrighty, do I need to do any kind of fooding 2774 02:26:31.840 --> 02:26:34.799 with them whenever I let them in, or or just. 2775 02:26:35.040 --> 02:26:36.399 Let them wait until next year? 2776 02:26:38.280 --> 02:26:39.920 Yeah, I just let them wait because we're not trying 2777 02:26:39.959 --> 02:26:42.479 to push growth on them. They've got enough nutrients to 2778 02:26:42.680 --> 02:26:45.079 just go on hold. If you start to see a 2779 02:26:45.079 --> 02:26:48.520 little bit of yellowing, it may be due to overwatering, 2780 02:26:48.760 --> 02:26:51.399 or it may maybe they need just a little bit 2781 02:26:51.799 --> 02:26:54.920 of a complete fertilizer, something's got a little bit of 2782 02:26:54.959 --> 02:26:57.600 iron in it. Maybe sometimes we'll get that in cold 2783 02:26:57.639 --> 02:26:59.920 weather because the soil is cold and the root uptake 2784 02:27:00.200 --> 02:27:03.639 isn't as good in those raised containers. You know, the 2785 02:27:03.959 --> 02:27:06.280 roots get colder and a container than they do in 2786 02:27:06.360 --> 02:27:08.959 the ground. So sometimes that's a little bit of a 2787 02:27:09.079 --> 02:27:10.680 factor and nutrient uptake. 2788 02:27:10.760 --> 02:27:12.959 Okay, got you. 2789 02:27:13.520 --> 02:27:14.840 I appreciate it, all right, sir. 2790 02:27:16.440 --> 02:27:18.360 Good luck.

Very important for heavy clay soils 2835 02:29:51.719 --> 02:29:55.280 that expanded shell sticks around long past when the compost 2836 02:29:55.360 --> 02:29:57.639 does and helps keep the soil open.

Hello, Kelly, 2867 02:31:35.319 --> 02:31:36.200 Welcome to garden. 2868 02:31:36.000 --> 02:31:38.159 Line, Sir. 2869 02:31:38.719 --> 02:31:41.920 We are building an RB resort up on Late Livingston. 2870 02:31:42.360 --> 02:31:46.680 And during the grading process and the cutting and get 2871 02:31:46.840 --> 02:31:53.200 the elevations right, we lost a majority of our trees 2872 02:31:53.280 --> 02:31:55.239 that were out there. We were able to save quite 2873 02:31:55.239 --> 02:31:59.840 a few, but we're wanting to put plant trees between 2874 02:32:00.360 --> 02:32:03.200 all of the sites that don't have them. 2875 02:32:03.520 --> 02:32:06.239 And we're looking at probably one hundred and seventy. 2876 02:32:06.040 --> 02:32:11.040 Five you know plantings, and so I'm looking for something 2877 02:32:11.360 --> 02:32:17.959 that will grow pretty quick, something where and where to 2878 02:32:18.040 --> 02:32:18.440 buy them? 2879 02:32:18.760 --> 02:32:19.040 You know what? 2880 02:32:19.360 --> 02:32:23.159 What you know, we're looking at a fifteen gallon tub 2881 02:32:23.479 --> 02:32:26.840 of these things. Uh, you know, just just looking for 2882 02:32:26.959 --> 02:32:30.479 something that's gonna work good at the sandy loan type 2883 02:32:30.600 --> 02:32:34.959 soil up there. And you know it's on the north 2884 02:32:35.040 --> 02:32:36.559 shore of Lake Livingston. 2885 02:32:36.840 --> 02:32:43.280 So I don't know the producers up in that area. Well, 2886 02:32:43.399 --> 02:32:48.479 I know here RCW Nursery has their tree farm, whim 2887 02:32:48.600 --> 02:32:52.000 some tree farm which is in Cleannersville, and that is 2888 02:32:52.920 --> 02:32:55.200 that is north but it's the west of forty five. 2889 02:32:56.000 --> 02:32:57.879 You may want to call them and say, look, this 2890 02:32:58.040 --> 02:33:00.719 is what we're looking at. What you got kind of prices. 2891 02:33:00.760 --> 02:33:03.840 They're a wholesale a grower up there, But I would 2892 02:33:03.920 --> 02:33:07.719 call RCW. That would be the easiest way. I don't 2893 02:33:07.760 --> 02:33:09.399 have that in the top of my head. I don't 2894 02:33:09.440 --> 02:33:12.200 have Williamson Tree Farm phone number. But they can put 2895 02:33:12.239 --> 02:33:14.120 you in touch with them. They can do that. 2896 02:33:14.319 --> 02:33:14.440 Now. 2897 02:33:14.920 --> 02:33:16.959 That's if you want to buy container trees that have 2898 02:33:17.120 --> 02:33:19.200 some size and they look good, and if you're just 2899 02:33:19.319 --> 02:33:23.040 doing what we called oh gosh, I can't even say 2900 02:33:23.040 --> 02:33:25.319 the word conservation planting. 2901 02:33:25.680 --> 02:33:25.840 You know. 2902 02:33:25.920 --> 02:33:28.959 That's where people go out like they're reforesting a hillside 2903 02:33:29.000 --> 02:33:31.319 and they just have little seedlings are popping in the ground. 2904 02:33:31.920 --> 02:33:34.959 That's a whole different thing. It's less expensive, but your 2905 02:33:35.000 --> 02:33:37.559 trees are tiny and a lot of them won't make it, 2906 02:33:37.840 --> 02:33:40.239 you know, so it's up to you either way. 2907 02:33:42.079 --> 02:33:46.760 Okay, all right, well then I will reach out to 2908 02:33:46.840 --> 02:33:47.799 those groups you said that. 2909 02:33:47.920 --> 02:33:48.959 Was r c W. 2910 02:33:51.520 --> 02:33:55.520 Yes, RCW. If you do Williamson Tree Farm, Williamson Tree 2911 02:33:55.600 --> 02:34:00.079 Farm in Plantersville, I can't. I can't walk in you 2912 02:34:00.200 --> 02:34:01.879 gum at the same time, so I can't go looking 2913 02:34:01.920 --> 02:34:04.600 while I'm talking to you. But Williamson Tree Farm in 2914 02:34:04.719 --> 02:34:09.399 Plantersville is a wholesale grower. They're there by the Renaissance 2915 02:34:09.520 --> 02:34:10.360 Festival out there. 2916 02:34:10.479 --> 02:34:16.399 Okay, perfect, perfect, okay, all right, thanks time, Thank you all. 2917 02:34:16.360 --> 02:34:19.000 Right, good luck with that great project you got going 2918 02:34:19.120 --> 02:34:24.159 up there. We're going to go now to Jeremy in Seabrook, Texas. Hey, Jeremy, 2919 02:34:24.239 --> 02:34:25.120 welcome to guard Line. 2920 02:34:26.079 --> 02:34:27.000 How's the going Skip. 2921 02:34:29.200 --> 02:34:30.040 Doing well? Thank you? 2922 02:34:33.959 --> 02:34:37.719 I got a question, how can I hail? I bought 2923 02:34:38.280 --> 02:34:40.600 just a nursery stock juniper. 2924 02:34:40.719 --> 02:34:43.239 It's a green mound, and I let it sit in 2925 02:34:43.280 --> 02:34:45.600 the yard for a couple of months and then I'm 2926 02:34:45.680 --> 02:34:49.600 using them to cut to make in the bonds, all right, 2927 02:34:49.639 --> 02:34:50.879 So I left it in. I left it in the 2928 02:34:50.920 --> 02:34:54.639 five gallons, okay, for about four months. I did some 2929 02:34:54.799 --> 02:34:57.319 minor trimming on it, just to kind of get some 2930 02:34:57.440 --> 02:35:00.760 shape to it. And about two months ago I took 2931 02:35:00.799 --> 02:35:03.120 it out and put it in a little bit smaller 2932 02:35:03.200 --> 02:35:08.200 pot and majority of the roots in it. But now 2933 02:35:08.280 --> 02:35:11.440 it's starting to it looks like it's turning yellow and 2934 02:35:11.520 --> 02:35:14.159 starting to dry up. Is there any save in that tree? 2935 02:35:14.399 --> 02:35:19.000 Okay? There might be, depending on how much damage has 2936 02:35:19.040 --> 02:35:23.479 been done. If you can get it out of just 2937 02:35:23.760 --> 02:35:25.879 the full brun of the sun, maybe give it a 2938 02:35:25.920 --> 02:35:29.920 little western late day shade, keep the soltw moist. Junipers 2939 02:35:30.000 --> 02:35:32.360 do not like wet feet, but they got to have moisture, 2940 02:35:32.639 --> 02:35:35.520 and so the roots that are left that weren't lost, 2941 02:35:36.680 --> 02:35:39.440 making sure they have adequate moisture, and then taking the 2942 02:35:39.559 --> 02:35:41.600 brunt of the hottest part of the day, let's say 2943 02:35:41.920 --> 02:35:45.280 definitely two o'clock to four or five o'clock, that's the 2944 02:35:45.360 --> 02:35:48.360 worst part of the day, taking that away from them, 2945 02:35:48.440 --> 02:35:50.959 give them a little chance. If it's not too far gone, 2946 02:35:51.200 --> 02:35:52.000 it ought to come back. 2947 02:35:53.360 --> 02:35:55.120 You should have come back in the spring, or should 2948 02:35:55.159 --> 02:35:57.399 I see some immediate bounce back. 2949 02:35:58.159 --> 02:36:01.920 You should see some respond we're still having warm temperatures. 2950 02:36:01.959 --> 02:36:04.639 You see some response pretty soon. But you know, the 2951 02:36:04.680 --> 02:36:06.399 first thing is it gets its feet under it and 2952 02:36:06.559 --> 02:36:08.799 essentially just decides, okay, I'm going to stay alive the 2953 02:36:08.879 --> 02:36:12.040 second it gets enough energy to actually grow. So as 2954 02:36:12.079 --> 02:36:15.239 long as it's not continuing to decline, that's a good sign. 2955 02:36:16.440 --> 02:36:19.840 Yeah, okay, is there anything I can feed it outside 2956 02:36:19.879 --> 02:36:21.360 of just normal regular fertilizer? 2957 02:36:23.399 --> 02:36:26.000 Not until it begins to grow in the spring, I 2958 02:36:26.040 --> 02:36:29.319 would say, yeah, just regular. I would go very easy. 2959 02:36:29.440 --> 02:36:32.040 I may even get like an organic solution kind of thing, 2960 02:36:32.159 --> 02:36:34.920 fish emulsion, seaweed, one of the Medina products would be 2961 02:36:35.000 --> 02:36:39.799 really good, or microlife. Microlife has some products pardon. 2962 02:36:40.639 --> 02:36:42.879 That's what I'm using as a Microlife seaweed. 2963 02:36:45.000 --> 02:36:49.360 Yeah, Microlife seaweed and Microlife fish emulsion. If they're indoors, 2964 02:36:49.479 --> 02:36:53.079 the fish emulsion can smell a little bit, the seaweed 2965 02:36:53.200 --> 02:36:57.319 not so much. Microlife has some other good products like that. 2966 02:36:57.479 --> 02:37:02.440 I used their orange label. That is excellent product for 2967 02:37:02.680 --> 02:37:04.799 a liquid. You're not going to burn things with the 2968 02:37:04.879 --> 02:37:06.600 micro Life. That's why I just want to be real 2969 02:37:06.680 --> 02:37:09.680 careful because a little salt based fertilizer too concentrated in 2970 02:37:09.760 --> 02:37:12.360 there can also do it's damage. So we'll stay away 2971 02:37:12.399 --> 02:37:13.120 from those for now. 2972 02:37:14.280 --> 02:37:18.239 Oat all right, Jeremy, I appreciate it. 2973 02:37:18.879 --> 02:37:21.239 All right, Hey, you bet, thanks for the call. 2974 02:37:21.319 --> 02:37:21.920 Good luck with that. 2975 02:37:22.319 --> 02:37:24.959 Sounds like a fun project. You're going to go now 2976 02:37:25.000 --> 02:37:26.159 to Beaumont and talk to Linda. 2977 02:37:26.319 --> 02:37:28.840 Hey Linda, Hi, how are you. 2978 02:37:31.079 --> 02:37:31.600 I'm good. 2979 02:37:31.639 --> 02:37:34.319 I'm good. What's up in Beaumont? Yes, I'm. 2980 02:37:36.319 --> 02:37:42.799 But okay, I have a couple of kret those that 2981 02:37:42.920 --> 02:37:46.959 are growing now they're I mean they start out a 2982 02:37:46.959 --> 02:37:49.120 little now they're big and they're kind of touching my 2983 02:37:49.319 --> 02:37:53.040 roof from the top. So I did talk to somebody 2984 02:37:53.079 --> 02:37:57.399 about trimming those back, you know, off of my roof. Okay, 2985 02:37:58.360 --> 02:38:02.319 and then I also have a huge live oak tree 2986 02:38:02.440 --> 02:38:06.719 that has been at my house for the thirty years 2987 02:38:06.760 --> 02:38:10.559 that we've owned the property, and Beryl took half of 2988 02:38:10.639 --> 02:38:13.520 that down. But I've had a couple of tree people 2989 02:38:13.639 --> 02:38:14.520 out okay that. 2990 02:38:16.680 --> 02:38:21.479 The music is already playing. The music's already playing, So 2991 02:38:21.719 --> 02:38:24.360 I got about two seconds to help you here the 2992 02:38:24.479 --> 02:38:27.280 great myrtle pruning. One thing to consider would be moving 2993 02:38:27.319 --> 02:38:30.799 them and planning a smaller one there. That just falls 2994 02:38:30.840 --> 02:38:32.799 the time to do that.
