Speaker 1: Welcome to kat r h garden Line with Skip Rictor.
Speaker 2: It's trim just watch him as well.
Speaker 3: That was so many good things to sup Bazy.
Speaker 2: Not sorry soon of.
Speaker 3: Welcome to garden Line. I'm your host, Skip Rictor. We're
Speaker 3: here to help you have a bountiful garden, a beautiful
Speaker 3: landscape and more fun in the process. That is well,
Speaker 3: it's all about you know. There was a time, there
Speaker 3: was a day in time for eons where we had
Speaker 3: to scrape along and try to find a very growing
Speaker 3: on a bush somewhere out in the woods to survive
Speaker 3: down and kill prey, to bring things back to the
Speaker 3: cave and keep going. And then the agricultural birth where
Speaker 3: we begin to learn how to domesticate and provide food
Speaker 3: for ourselves. And in those times there was always a
Speaker 3: threat of famine, a threat of pestilence and disease and things.
Speaker 3: I was just reading a book. In fact, I am
Speaker 3: reading a book that is called Chemical Age, and basically
Speaker 3: it is about just throughout history, the advent of the
Speaker 3: arrival of chemicals and what things were like before them
Speaker 3: and so on. It's not a pro or anti organic
Speaker 3: or anything like that. It just is what it is. Okay,
Speaker 3: And it goes back into things like the Irish potato
Speaker 3: femine and a little disease called phytopthera, a little disease
Speaker 3: organism wipes out the potato crop in Ireland and other places,
Speaker 3: but totally dependent society, totally dependent on that one very
Speaker 3: important staple and suddenly gone and we can't we don't
Speaker 3: know what did it, We don't know how to stop
Speaker 3: it or anything like that. And we're talking about not
Speaker 3: not only or just millions of people. We've got death.
Speaker 3: We've got people. A huge part of the arrival of
Speaker 3: so many folks from Ireland in America was driven by
Speaker 3: things like that as well, anyway, And so we're looking
Speaker 3: at like death on a major scale, and then we
Speaker 3: discover a way to control by topter and this suddenly
Speaker 3: then we're not at the vicissitudes of nature where that
Speaker 3: disease organism comes in and wipes everything out. We looked. Book.
Speaker 3: Book goes into a lot of different things like that.
Speaker 3: Very interesting, very interesting book. And it isn't to say
Speaker 3: that you know, now it's all better living through chemistry
Speaker 3: and all this is hunky dory, because it goes on
Speaker 3: to look at the problems that occur with the arrival
Speaker 3: of the chemical age and stuff. Anyway, very interesting book.
Speaker 3: But why did I wander all the way over there?
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's early in the moment morning. My
Speaker 3: brain is doing what it does. But the real reason
Speaker 3: is I just was going to say, now, we grow
Speaker 3: things because we want to eat fresh stuff from our house.
Speaker 3: We want to know what was sprayed on our food.
Speaker 3: We want to enjoy getting out in the garden and
Speaker 3: having the pleasure of growing that tomato ourself holding it up.
Speaker 3: And it's like I did this. I agree with this,
Speaker 3: and there's a pleasure and fun in that. But if
Speaker 3: your garden fails, you're not going to starve to death.
Speaker 3: And that is a nice development historically that we have
Speaker 3: such a food supply that is so integrated throughout the
Speaker 3: world that some of those things at least have gone
Speaker 3: down considerably in terms of the risk. But I find
Speaker 3: it very interesting. So there we go. That's a lot
Speaker 3: of philosophical for first thing on an early early Sunday morning.
Speaker 3: But glad you're here with us. If you if you
Speaker 3: got a gardening question, or you'd like to visit about
Speaker 3: something gardening seven one three two one two k T
Speaker 3: r H seven one three two one two k t
Speaker 3: r H five. We have a some one of these
Speaker 3: days I want to sit down and just talk about
Speaker 3: So maybe I should scatter this through so it's not
Speaker 3: all it wants, but talk about interesting books that I've
Speaker 3: read recently and what I found fascinating about him. And boy,
Speaker 3: have there ever been some really interesting books. Now I'm
Speaker 3: a nerd science nerd and whatnot, and certainly a gardening
Speaker 3: nerd in horticulture, but there's some really cool books out
Speaker 3: there that just give you a whole new perspective, very
Speaker 3: very interesting. All right, Well, let's uh, let's get to
Speaker 3: talking about some gardening. Uh. And now that the rain,
Speaker 3: at least where I am right now, seems to have
Speaker 3: let off a little bit, and I'm hoping that we
Speaker 3: hold that for a little bit. Uh, it's time to
Speaker 3: you know, get out there and get that lawn mode.
Speaker 3: My my lawn is I pretty much could call someone
Speaker 3: to come in and bail it, and I could have
Speaker 3: a hay hay farm out of my yard. It's grown
Speaker 3: so big, but I'll catch up with it. So what
Speaker 3: do you do when the long gets too big? Well,
Speaker 3: first of all, I'm always saying don't bag it. Return
Speaker 3: the clippings. They're free food for your turf, and they are,
Speaker 3: but when it gets this big, it's just too much. Now,
Speaker 3: if your lawn has just gotten a little too big,
Speaker 3: you can do a couple of things. You can do
Speaker 3: a double mowing on it, where you set them over high,
Speaker 3: you mo over the lawn, and then you drop it down,
Speaker 3: set it lower, and you mo over the lawn again,
Speaker 3: each time mulching the clippings. But it just helps break
Speaker 3: them up into a little bit smaller particles to fall
Speaker 3: down in there. Mine's at a point now where there's
Speaker 3: no way around it. I'm gonna have dried clippings laying
Speaker 3: on top of the grass, so I'm going to bag them.
Speaker 3: And they are going into flower beds, they are going
Speaker 3: into compost piles, they are going into walkways and my garden,
Speaker 3: my walkways are all very thick with leaves that have
Speaker 3: been dropped there since last leaf season. I just continue
Speaker 3: to pole leaves up in the walkways and walk on them,
Speaker 3: and they dry and it's wonderful stuff. Fact, if I
Speaker 3: were to dig down past the dry surface leaves right now,
Speaker 3: you would see a lot of nice chocolately crumbly decomposing
Speaker 3: away leaves, and I'll harvest those walkways and put those
Speaker 3: in my garden beds. And it's a way of composting
Speaker 3: without work, almost without work. You're not mixing layers and
Speaker 3: turning and all that kind of stuff, sticking at thermometer
Speaker 3: in it. You're just letting them call composts there in
Speaker 3: the walkway. I have a little screen that I put
Speaker 3: on top of my wheelbarrow. It is a hardware cloth
Speaker 3: half inch hardware cloth screen, and it is on a
Speaker 3: two by four frame, So the two by four sit
Speaker 3: across the top of the wheelbarrow. The frame is about
Speaker 3: the size of the wheelbarrow. And when I'm shoveling out
Speaker 3: of walkway, I just put it in the screen, shake
Speaker 3: it a little bit. All the fine stuff falls down
Speaker 3: through the screen. So if i need to amend some
Speaker 3: potting soil, I've got a little material for if I
Speaker 3: want to mix compost them to a bed, I can
Speaker 3: do that and then the undecomposed stuff goes right back
Speaker 3: in the walkways. I used to do that with wood chips,
Speaker 3: you know. The power line companies and stuff come through
Speaker 3: and they shred up wo and sometimes they'll dump them
Speaker 3: in your driveway if you want, and those make a
Speaker 3: pretty good walkway, and then after a few years you
Speaker 3: can go in there and harvest that and get some
Speaker 3: really good fungal compost out of that. So anyway, there's
Speaker 3: a few things that we do, but for your turf,
Speaker 3: go ahead and get that mode down. But remember that
Speaker 3: as often as you mow mo as often as you can,
Speaker 3: because the more often you mow, the smaller you chop
Speaker 3: things up. The smaller you chop them up, the faster
Speaker 3: they decompose, and the less visible they are. Clippings are
Speaker 3: not the reason we have thatch. The reason we have
Speaker 3: thatch is overwatering and overfertilizing and creating a lot of
Speaker 3: runner growth. Runners are very slow to decomposed compared to clippings,
Speaker 3: and so you've got these little runners like a little snakes,
Speaker 3: crawling all over each each other in your lawn and
Speaker 3: you walk on it and it's all spongy. That's that uh.
Speaker 3: And so excessive mowing, excusing the excessive fertilization, excessive watering
Speaker 3: both can contribute to that, especially in some grasses like
Speaker 3: Sosia being especially bad about that and Bermuda grass all right, well,
Speaker 3: there you go, a few thoughts on mowing. We're gonna
Speaker 3: take a little quick break here for for some information
Speaker 3: and we'll be back seven one three two one two
Speaker 3: ktr H. Welcome back to Guarden Line. By the way,
Speaker 3: Happy Father's Day all the dad's out there. That's kind
Speaker 3: of cool stuff, you know, the the we're celebrating in

Speaker 3: coming in this weekend of today and uh then they
Speaker 3: are going to be out of town next week. We're
Speaker 3: going do it again next week with the other half.
Speaker 3: So I get I think kind of a double deal.
Speaker 3: That's kind of a good A good deal me a
Speaker 3: lot of barbecue and involved in all that. We're glad
Speaker 3: you're listening to the Garden Line. If you'd like to give

Speaker 3: Most people aren't familiar with it. It's not like painting.
Speaker 3: I mean, you would do it instead of painting, but
Speaker 3: it's better than painting. Powder coating puts a very nice, dense,
Speaker 3: very hard surface of coating protection color onto metal. So
Speaker 3: when you go to a restaurant, you go to those
Speaker 3: outdoor maybe you go to a park and you see
Speaker 3: those little those benches and things and the trash cans
Speaker 3: that are out there, and they're you know, they may
Speaker 3: be painted brown or black or whatever color, or I
Speaker 3: say painted coated. That's a powder coating type of surface.
Speaker 3: It's just not a paint. If you've got old furniture
Speaker 3: it's looking bad, you need to call Houston Powder Coders

Speaker 3: caps with the tubular metal kinds of furniture. But if
Speaker 3: it's looking bad, you need to go see what they
Speaker 3: can do online at Houston powder Cooders dot com. They

Speaker 3: it when they get through doing something. It's like you think,
Speaker 3: somebody just spot it. It is just brand new. And
Speaker 3: with over one hundred colors, what do you want it
Speaker 3: to look like? I mean I saw, of course they
Speaker 3: have all the primary colors and other things, but lots
Speaker 3: of nice, subtle, real beautiful, earthy colors as well. I
Speaker 3: saw some furniture sitting across the in the warehouse there
Speaker 3: when I went by, and I looked at it, and
Speaker 3: I go, is that the next project you're working on?
Speaker 3: And it was way over there and it looked all
Speaker 3: rusty and stuff. There's no we're done with that one.
Speaker 3: I walked over and looked at it and it was
Speaker 3: the color of rust but it was beautifully coated. And
Speaker 3: you know, if you have something that you want to
Speaker 3: look kind of rustic, they can do that with the coating.
Speaker 3: But now it's protected. Now it's no longer resting, cast iron,
Speaker 3: wrought iron, aluminum patio furniture, don't matter what it is.
Speaker 3: Give them a call or go with the website Houston
Speaker 3: Powdercoders dot com two eight one six seven, six thirty
Speaker 3: eight eighty eight. Really really cool stuff. I jokingly have said,
Speaker 3: well it's jokingly but serious. It almost I almost want
Speaker 3: to go down the road and find people are throwing
Speaker 3: away their furniture out at the street and grab it
Speaker 3: and go get it coated because it is. I'm telling
Speaker 3: you it. I don't care what it looks like. They're
Speaker 3: going to make it look new. It's amazing what they
Speaker 3: can do. Really cool stuff. The folks out Affordable Tree
Speaker 3: are all about taking care of your trees. So your
Speaker 3: trees are more resilient, so they're stronger, so they're healthier.
Speaker 3: And if you have a tree, maybe you bought a
Speaker 3: tree recently put it in the ground. I want to
Speaker 3: say recently, I mean you know, last month, all the
Speaker 3: way to five years ago. It's very important early in
Speaker 3: the life of that tree to train it right. And
Speaker 3: you know, it's one of those principles of life. You
Speaker 3: let something go wrong long enough and you've got a
Speaker 3: bigger problem than if you dealt with it sooner. It's
Speaker 3: true with trees they grow narrow branch angles that in
Speaker 3: the future will split. They are weak, poorly connected branches
Speaker 3: because they weren't trained right early. That's very important to
Speaker 3: get that done right. And then as trees get older
Speaker 3: there's issues that can arise.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 3: Affordable Tree is Martin Spoonmore's company. You've been hearing about
Speaker 3: Martin spoon Moore's Affordable Tree for decades now on guard Line.
Speaker 3: They come out and they can take a look at
Speaker 3: your trees and do the pruning that's necessary to make
Speaker 3: them as wind resist resilient as possible, as the as
Speaker 3: the breeze blows, as we strengthen the tree as we
Speaker 3: build it. But just remember this, the sooner you start
Speaker 3: in the life of a tree, the more control you
Speaker 3: have to make a nice, strong structure. Okay, if you
Speaker 3: wait until a tree is sixty years old and you
Speaker 3: go in there and say, okay, fix it, well, I
Speaker 3: mean there's things they can do, but seriously, it's better
Speaker 3: to start earlier. Now you can give them a call
Speaker 3: seven to one three six' nine nine two six sixty
Speaker 3: three family owned. Company family will be entering the phone
Speaker 3: seven to one three six' ninety nine two six, six
Speaker 3: three whether you need pruning or, deep feeding whether you
Speaker 3: need a, stump ground anything related, to, trees, training planting
Speaker 3: all that they can.
Speaker 5: Do.
Speaker 3: It now if you are going to do anything around
Speaker 3: the valuable trees, your home. Listen to the tree is
Speaker 3: the most valuable single plant in. Your landscape incredibly valuable
Speaker 3: when it comes to the value of, your home when
Speaker 3: it comes to cutting down on air, conditioning bills if
Speaker 3: it's located in the, right spot and just when it comes,
Speaker 3: to enjoyment sitting out in the patio in the shade
Speaker 3: instead of. The sun we had it when we lived Up.
Speaker 3: In cyprus we had a house that had absolutely no
Speaker 3: tree in, the backyard and you went out on the
Speaker 3: west side of the house do on top of it
Speaker 3: all we had little patio we never could USE because
Speaker 3: i mean it was. Just brutal we might as well
Speaker 3: stuck our head in an oven trying to go out
Speaker 3: there on. That patio but you get you a, nice
Speaker 3: tree planet it and get good shade like that and
Speaker 3: have it taken care. Of, properly boy that's that. Is
Speaker 3: valuable so don't mess with. Your trees don't, Decide oh
Speaker 3: i'm going to run a line. Through there i'm gonna
Speaker 3: dig a trench and go right beside. That tree when
Speaker 3: you dig a trench right beside, a tree you essentially
Speaker 3: are cutting off half its. Root system so look down
Speaker 3: on top bird's, eye view look down on. The tree
Speaker 3: roots are going out in. All directions. Take you, you
Speaker 3: know think of. A pie take a pie and slice
Speaker 3: through the pie just to the right or left. Of
Speaker 3: center what you've done is you've removed everything from the
Speaker 3: trunk of, that tree often that, left right. Whatever direction don't.
Speaker 3: Do That Call Martin spoon, Moore's Company. Affordable tree talk, to, them,
Speaker 3: Say look i'm gonna do. SOME construction i need you
Speaker 3: to come out and do some pre. Construction care and.
Speaker 3: They can they can, advise you they can. Direct you
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things that can be done to minimize.
Speaker 3: THAT damage I know i'm drowning on, about this but
Speaker 3: it breaks my heart and it breaks the owner of
Speaker 3: the tree's. Heart too to have a tree grow for a,
Speaker 3: long time it be a beautiful tree and then suddenly you're.
Speaker 3: Losing it it blows over in a storm because all
Speaker 3: the roots have been too many roots have been cut
Speaker 3: off you have issues with broken branches. And things have
Speaker 3: somebody take care of this most valuable. Plant landscape and
Speaker 3: if you're planting, your trees and if you're training, your
Speaker 3: trees find out how to do it before you, do
Speaker 3: it so you do, it right very very very. Very important,

Speaker 6: Good morning.
Speaker 7: How do you get rid?
Speaker 8: Of torpedograss it's coming from. My neighbors i've never had.
Speaker 8: It before i'm like sixty two.
Speaker 6: Years, old Yeah.
Speaker 8: And i've never had.
Speaker 6: It before and all of a.
Speaker 8: Sudden since i've Moved and, i've planned, you know a
Speaker 8: new home and grass in. My yarn my grass, is
Speaker 8: good but this, torpedo grass it's coming from my neighbors
Speaker 8: and it's coming into.
Speaker 3: My yard i'm telling you it's, a mess. ISN'T it
Speaker 3: i think the best way is to call you realtor
Speaker 3: and get a, new house go. Somewhere, else seriously there
Speaker 3: are ways to, kill it but it's a very. Vigorous
Speaker 3: grass it's like for those folks listening that don't. Have
Speaker 3: it it's like bermuda grass. On steroids, you know something
Speaker 3: that comes up way above your normal lawn height and everything,
Speaker 3: like that and you can take that height of torpedo
Speaker 3: grass and turn it to. Your advantage you can wipe
Speaker 3: onto the torpedo. Grass herbicides it will translocate down and. Kill,
Speaker 3: it now on, My website Gardening, WITH skip i have
Speaker 3: a little sheet on there that shows you how to
Speaker 3: build a. Weed wiper it's. Really easy anybody can. Do
Speaker 3: this it's isn't like you got to be. Mechanically INCLINED
Speaker 3: and i. Have one it's made out of a. Grabber
Speaker 3: tool you just have to go onto the website to.
Speaker 3: See it and it has sponges, on IT and i
Speaker 3: will just take a little whatever, you have squirt some
Speaker 3: of the herbicide on, the sponge and then you reach
Speaker 3: down in the grab. Or tool you don't have to.
Speaker 3: Stoop over you just squeeze it on the torpedo grass
Speaker 3: and kind of gently pull up and wipe it onto
Speaker 3: those torpedo grass shoots and it goes down in there
Speaker 3: and it. Kills, them now you're not gonna do it
Speaker 3: once and. Kill everything but every time it sticks its,
Speaker 3: head up if, you don't, you know let. It expand
Speaker 3: it's like sprand round up on, bermuda grass it'll kill
Speaker 3: it right and and but we just have to use
Speaker 3: the wiper so we don't kill desirable grasses that are
Speaker 3: around the.
Speaker 8: Torpedo, Grass, okay, so uh let me MAKE sure i understand.
Speaker 8: Your right so you have something on your website that
Speaker 8: tells me what to make put on this sponge to.
Speaker 3: Wipe, it, well yes it's a on my website Gardening
Speaker 3: with skip. Dot com you'll see something Called skips skips. Weed.
Speaker 3: Wiper okay and so what you do is you you
Speaker 3: buy a grabber tool a, certain kind and you attach
Speaker 3: sponges to where there used to be, suction cups and
Speaker 3: then those sponges you just squirt a little of the
Speaker 3: herbicide you're going to use to. Kill torpezo it could
Speaker 3: it could, be glypysate which is. Round up it could
Speaker 3: be there's a couple of grass only killers that you
Speaker 3: can use. On there but then you just reach down
Speaker 3: and wipe. IT on i use the wiper to control
Speaker 3: like poison ivy with you're using a different ingredient than
Speaker 3: you would for. Torpedo GRASS but i use it to
Speaker 3: control poison IVY because i can get in there and
Speaker 3: wipe it on the leaves without getting. It on maybe
Speaker 3: it's growing underneath the rose bush, or something and you're
Speaker 3: not going to cool your rose bush, That way so
Speaker 3: that that works. Pretty, Good yeah NOW well i should ask,
Speaker 3: you first what what kind of grass? Do you what's your?
Speaker 3: Lawn grass my Grass Is. Saint Augustine, Saint, augxtine okay, all? Right.
Speaker 8: Good yeah Also because i'm on my yard once, a
Speaker 8: week so it's hard, to see but, YOU know i
Speaker 8: can tell WORK and i can. See it don't keep up,
Speaker 8: their yard and you know it's it's pretty tall and
Speaker 8: ass so over my neighbors it's really sticking out and
Speaker 8: it's right next.
Speaker 9: To.
Speaker 3: Me, Yeah yeah well you might need to let the
Speaker 3: lawn grow a, little bit uh so that you can
Speaker 3: have some torpedo coming up Above Your. Saint augustine do
Speaker 3: you Know what? I'm, saying yeah so because you want to,
Speaker 3: you know the whole idea of the weed wiper is
Speaker 3: to wipe it on the weed and not the, desirable
Speaker 3: plant whether That's your saint augustine lawn or a rose
Speaker 3: bush or a tomato plant or whatever you're you're doing it.
Speaker 3: That WAY so i think that's probably one of your.
Speaker 3: Best bets.
Speaker 8: So but, this grass this grass has roots that go.
Speaker 8: Between that it's just not that one grass that connect
Speaker 8: and they connect and they connect and they connect to my.
Speaker 6: Neighbor's. YARD correct.
Speaker 8: I mean it's like, a, UH well i can't think
Speaker 8: OF what i need to say. Right now but it's
Speaker 8: not just. One weed they all they. Connect together so
Speaker 8: you're not just hopefully you're not just. Killing one it's
Speaker 8: going through.
Speaker 6: The roots well to.
Speaker 3: Some, degree now now if you if you kill a
Speaker 3: torpedo grass shoot in, your lawn it's not going to
Speaker 3: go down the line and there'll be a line of
Speaker 3: dead grass all the way across to your neighbor's side of.
Speaker 3: The fence but it'll kill a little bit back. From,
Speaker 3: there yeah, but yeah they are they were. ORIGINALLY connected
Speaker 3: i understand, your, Question right, BUT yeah i.
Speaker 10: Would like it.
Speaker 3: Like a, tubular yes but, but yes but only for
Speaker 3: a little bit of a distance is that going to?
Speaker 3: Be effective so just just stay. With it also on
Speaker 3: my website is a thing about herbicides that you use
Speaker 3: on the weed wiper and on, that list you want
Speaker 3: to print that one out because depending on what's in,
Speaker 3: your lawn you choose a. Different product, so like if
Speaker 3: you have, wild onion there's a product called image that's on.
Speaker 3: That sheet if you are trying to kill, YOU know i,
Speaker 3: don't know woody weeds like poison ivy or hackberry coming
Speaker 3: up in the fence line, or things there's a product.
Speaker 3: For that and if you're trying to kill, just grasses
Speaker 3: there's products. For that so when you get those two,
Speaker 3: things downloaded you can you can win. This battle you
Speaker 3: just have to stay, with.
Speaker 8: It, right well, You know I'm just i'm trying to win,
Speaker 8: the Battle but i'm, you know trying to slowly go
Speaker 8: over to my navy's going a, little bit, you.
Speaker 6: Know and put a little bit.
Speaker 8: On there i'm in, my way.
Speaker 10: YOU know i, appreciate that, but, WELL yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't i. Don't either but one other thing you
Speaker 3: theoretically could do is to just create a no man's
Speaker 3: land kind of dead strip between the, two yards so
Speaker 3: that anything that comes in that strip gets. Gets sprayed
Speaker 3: and so if you're goes that way or their long comes,
Speaker 3: this way it shuts, it down and that that is
Speaker 3: one way to prevent or to hold back. The invasion
Speaker 3: some people will go in and put a little vertical
Speaker 3: wall in, the soil like you could take a piece
Speaker 3: of metal flashing or it's better because out'll. Rust. Eventually
Speaker 3: uh maybe a really thick uh kind of a. Plastic
Speaker 3: material i'm not talking about just thin. SHEET plastic i
Speaker 3: mean something really thick, that lasts and you put it
Speaker 3: in the ground and then when the grass is trying
Speaker 3: to come through, there underneath it. Blocks them but that's
Speaker 3: that is time and expense and.
Speaker 7: Not.
Speaker 8: Effective, right well thank you so much.
Speaker 6: Your time, Thank you, thank.
Speaker 3: You, you too appreciate. That cookie you take care. Out
Speaker 3: there uh you are listening. To guardline we're going to

Speaker 3: like to give me. A call seven one three two
Speaker 3: one TWO ktr h seven one three two ONE TWO
Speaker 3: ktrh i was Visiting With dan Snyder from nitrofoss yesterday
Speaker 3: and we were just, talking about, you Know The flag
Speaker 3: day yesterday for those of you who somehow might have,
Speaker 3: missed that and we're just talking about the just the
Speaker 3: respect for, the flag the emblem of. Our country, You
Speaker 3: Know flag day began, a long long. Time ago it
Speaker 3: actually happened in a couple. Of Phases The, WOODROW wilson.
Speaker 3: I Said, WOODROW wilson i believe was one of the
Speaker 3: ones who initially made a Proclamation that june fourteenth Will Be,
Speaker 3: flag day but then it was really codified in the
Speaker 3: LAW by I Believe harry truman when he. Was president,
Speaker 3: but anyway Talking to dan about just through appreciation for,
Speaker 3: our military for the fact that we have folks that
Speaker 3: have put their life on the line for the whole
Speaker 3: time of this country really and just the fact that
Speaker 3: someone is willing to go out there and to stand in,
Speaker 3: the gap to be, out there to be a defender
Speaker 3: of the freedoms that. We enjoy and, basically, said hey
Speaker 3: but let's why don't you talk about night frost? PRODUCTS
Speaker 3: tomorrow i don't you just talk? About THAT and i
Speaker 3: think that's a. Great IDEA and i. Appreciate, THAT dan
Speaker 3: i certainly hold that sentiment. As well the fact that
Speaker 3: we do enjoy so. Many things you know how it
Speaker 3: is we take things for granted when we're so familiar,
Speaker 3: with them we don't even really think about the cost,
Speaker 3: of them and the fact that there continue to be
Speaker 3: people who. Do that and in addition to the people
Speaker 3: that do that the, soldiers themselves we're looking at the
Speaker 3: families that do that and the cost that has come
Speaker 3: to families for our servicemen and women who over the
Speaker 3: years have made the ultimate sacrifice. For us so thank
Speaker 3: you to everyone, out there not only those who are
Speaker 3: serving who have served in the, armed forces but to
Speaker 3: those as well who are families of those and been
Speaker 3: part of the sacrifice of not only, their time but
Speaker 3: in some cases their lives. As well we're going to
Speaker 3: take a little trip Out to. Katie now we're gonna
Speaker 3: go Out to katy here and Visit. With, Hank, Hello
Speaker 3: hank Welcome To. Garden line you're.
Speaker 11: More INSURANCE what i DID is i needed to get some,
Speaker 11: grass down AND so i bought it and Got, it
Speaker 11: monday but got a lot of it Down, on tuesday
Speaker 11: but it rained for two days and got the rest
Speaker 11: of it Down, on friday and the problem is there's
Speaker 11: some bad spots in the CENTER and i need maybe
Speaker 11: hassel grow or whatever you think help bring.
Speaker 3: It back Is It, Saint, Augustine hank It's. Parmetto, St, augustine, Yes,
Speaker 3: Sir okay you're just gonna have to kind of be patient.
Speaker 3: With it depending on the degree to which it was
Speaker 3: set back or in some parts of the grass, plants
Speaker 3: killed it's going to close. Back in it will fill,
Speaker 3: Back in so the thing to do in, the meantime,
Speaker 3: of course we've been getting a lot of, rain lately
Speaker 3: but once a week of good soaking as we go forward,
Speaker 3: into summer you don't have to water it every. Other day.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry tell me again when you planted the most
Speaker 3: Recent Grass? Friday. Friday OKAY what i generally recommend is
Speaker 3: just as a very, general guide twice, a day very
Speaker 3: lightly the, first week once a day the, second week
Speaker 3: and then going toward a twice a week and then
Speaker 3: once a. Week schedule after that grass has been in for,
Speaker 3: two weeks if it is not lacked, for water it
Speaker 3: should be getting a good root. System down you can
Speaker 3: start backing off of that we've gotten so much rain that,
Speaker 3: you know we haven't had to water like, you normally
Speaker 3: but get it to continue to get it established, with
Speaker 3: water and then once it's been in about, a month
Speaker 3: then begin to very lightly fertilize it in some small
Speaker 3: doses or use a slow, release product you know like,
Speaker 3: the nitrofoss The Super turf solver bag and in that
Speaker 3: way it's going to get a small amount of fertilizer
Speaker 3: all the way up into fall. Early fall What about
Speaker 3: madina anything like that to. Help, activate, Yes yes medina
Speaker 3: has a two PRODUCTS that i think you would would.
Speaker 3: Find helpful one is called Has To. Grow lawn Has To.
Speaker 3: Grow lawn it is a twelve four to eight hooks
Speaker 3: up to a, garden hose and so you can go
Speaker 3: over the. Whole lawn but it also being a hooked
Speaker 3: up to a, garden hose you can kind of give
Speaker 3: a little extra boost to some areas that might. Need it,
Speaker 3: you know as, you're watered you're you're kind of squirting
Speaker 3: those areas just a little, bit more and so that.
Speaker 3: Works well medina also has One called superturf that is
Speaker 3: a sixteen. ZERO two i believe the third numbers too it's,
Speaker 3: mostly nitrogen and the same thing hooks to a garden
Speaker 3: hose and you can give it a. LITTLE boost i
Speaker 3: would just go easy on, the fertilizing, YOU know i
Speaker 3: was talking about with, the granulars the slow. Release granulars
Speaker 3: you're going to wait until a month after you. Planted
Speaker 3: these you could do a, little sooner but go easy
Speaker 3: on them because, right now what the grass leads one or.
Speaker 3: The other don't. Do both and what the grass needs
Speaker 3: now is not to be pushed with a lot. Of
Speaker 3: nitrogen it needs to settle in and get a root.
Speaker 3: System going and that's why we hold off on fertilizing.
Speaker 12: Right away one, other question if you get one of
Speaker 12: these adjustable, house pers do you have any idea what
Speaker 12: adjust them and?
Speaker 3: All, them no it'll tell you it has information on
Speaker 3: the package when you. Do that but THE reason i
Speaker 3: like you were talking About the medina products and. They're
Speaker 3: excellent the has to grow for lawns twelve four eight
Speaker 3: and the Super growl plus is. A sixteen it's it.
Speaker 3: The bottle it. Comes in you hook to a, garden
Speaker 3: hose so you don't have to know how to. Set
Speaker 3: anything it's already set to do the.
Speaker 12: Right thing oh so you cannot well you know they
Speaker 12: won't hook up, that gallon.
Speaker 3: Will, It no but you don't you don't. NEED that
Speaker 3: i mean you just you just take the it's a,
Speaker 3: court bottle and you hook it up to a hose
Speaker 3: and you just go right to town and get the. Job, done,
Speaker 3: okay okay but, just, remember yeah remember it's not a lack.
Speaker 3: OF nitrate i know you want to get that grass
Speaker 3: covered in, real quick but first let's get the roots
Speaker 3: and then begin to gradually feed it and and you
Speaker 3: it'll cover in with with good. Adequate watering just don't
Speaker 3: let it. Dry out that's that's, important thing, All, right
Speaker 3: hang good luck with, that, grass, yes, Sir, alrighty yeah there's,
Speaker 3: you know there's a lot of forms of nutrients. OUT there,
Speaker 3: i mean we we've got, dry granulars we've got the,
Speaker 3: immediate release we've got the, slow release and then we
Speaker 3: got the liquids that we can. Put on and nutrient.
Speaker 3: Is nutrient when, you know when that, plant root when
Speaker 3: that grassroot is in, the soil IT says i need.
Speaker 3: Some nitrate, YOU know i need. Some nitrate and so
Speaker 3: it doesn't care whether it came from a slow, release
Speaker 3: granule a fast, release granule a. Liquid product it just needs.
Speaker 3: That compound it just needs, that molecule if, you will
Speaker 3: and to bring it in and to feed. The grass
Speaker 3: and so the advantages of granules is they tend to
Speaker 3: be a little less expensive per pound. Of, nutrient okay
Speaker 3: the advantages of the liquids is you get a little,
Speaker 3: faster results and you can tailor the direction of it
Speaker 3: a little. Bit BETTER and i just described that Talking.
Speaker 3: To tank you know you can you can spray over
Speaker 3: there are a little more where you need a little
Speaker 3: bit more, that maybe uh and or if you're just
Speaker 3: going out in the yard and you got one area
Speaker 3: you're trying to kick, into gear you can just go
Speaker 3: out there or spray that one area with the liquid
Speaker 3: on the hose end and give a boost. To that
Speaker 3: hopefully that makes a little bit. Of, sense well our
Speaker 3: first hours in. THE books i went fast. This morning
Speaker 3: kind of quiet, out there any? Mighty awake you'd like
Speaker 3: to give me? A call seven one three two one
Speaker 3: two k T r h seven one THREE two u
Speaker 3: two k T. R h Hop your, father's. Day, everybuddy
Speaker 3: hey go check out. MY website i keep referring to
Speaker 3: IT and i keep talking to people that never check
Speaker 3: that out gardeningwi skip. Dot com all These things i'm
Speaker 3: pointing to. Are there put them up there to help
Speaker 3: you have success in, your garden in. Your, landscape well, good,
Speaker 3: Morning gardeners, good morning and welcome To. Garden line we
Speaker 3: are glad to have you. With us i'm, Your Host,
Speaker 3: skip richer and we're here to answer your. Gardening questions
Speaker 3: we want to help you have success in. Your, GARDEN
Speaker 3: well i like to put, it is we want you
Speaker 3: to have a bountiful and a beautiful garden, and landscape
Speaker 3: and we want you to have fun while you're. Doing
Speaker 3: it let's take the frustration out of gardening and replace it.
Speaker 3: With fun gardening is an enjoyable activity and it. Can
Speaker 3: be all it involves is a. Couple things first, of
Speaker 3: all understanding how to think like. A plant what does a?
Speaker 3: Plant want and if you give a plant what, it
Speaker 3: wants it's going to. Be happy things like sunlight. Or
Speaker 3: shade some plants don't want. Full sun things like adequate,
Speaker 3: soil moisture things like proper sol pH and nutrient levels in.
Speaker 3: The soil those are all examples of things that plants
Speaker 3: want to have success and we can help them. With
Speaker 3: that when we run into problems like some chomping pest
Speaker 3: crawling around spoiling, the show we can. Fix it when
Speaker 3: we're dealing with things like diseases or weeds, or whatever
Speaker 3: there's ways to. Manage all, you know almost everything starts
Speaker 3: from a. Cultural standpoint so if you've Listened to guardline,
Speaker 3: very long you know that, for me it's not just there's,
Speaker 3: a weed here's how to. Kill it it's let's back
Speaker 3: up a. Little bit if you have lawns that are
Speaker 3: constantly plagued, with weeds we need to fix the lawn
Speaker 3: and then deal with the weeds that don't go away
Speaker 3: because we fix. The lawn so HERE'S what. I mean,
Speaker 3: wherever nature, excuse me wherever sunlight hits, the soil nature plants.
Speaker 3: A weed so your lawn, gets thin your lawn becomes
Speaker 3: weedy because there's sunlight hitting the soil for weeds to sprout.
Speaker 3: And grow you mow water. And fertilize THAT'S why i did,
Speaker 3: that schedule the lawn care. Schedule online you mow water, and,
Speaker 3: fertilize right and your lawn gets denser. And denser and
Speaker 3: as it, gets dense most weeds are not going to
Speaker 3: be a problem because those that germinate from seed can't
Speaker 3: get a good start in, a, good dense. Healthy lawn
Speaker 3: now you may have a few here, and there but
Speaker 3: not not like you do when the. Launch struggles so
Speaker 3: what about the weeds that are perennial that can live in. A,
Speaker 3: lawn yes we have those things like basket Grass and virginia,
Speaker 3: button weed and dollar weed is another. Good one maybe
Speaker 3: dove weed is. Another one but those are the dove
Speaker 3: weed and the basket grass are being caused by a
Speaker 3: lawn that's too. Thin primarily but the others even if
Speaker 3: you get a good dessil and you're gonna have the
Speaker 3: wheat and we can deal, with those. That's okay it's
Speaker 3: just we don't start with HOW do i? Kill it kind.
Speaker 3: Of spray that's true of insects and diseases. As well
Speaker 3: many times our insect and disease problems are caused by environment.
Speaker 3: Environmental factors if you get a, rose bush, let's say
Speaker 3: and you plant them too, close together, they're crowded there's poor,
Speaker 3: air circulation you overdo the, nitrogen fertilizer your sprinklers, come
Speaker 3: on and what the? Foliage instead of just wetting the
Speaker 3: soil Like, dripper again will those, three, things crowding over doing,
Speaker 3: the nitrogen and excessive wedding of the foliage create disease problems?
Speaker 3: On roses the first step is to culturally fix. Those
Speaker 3: things do, it right and then you're going to have some.
Speaker 3: Disease problems but then a little spray here and there
Speaker 3: can be done. If needed if you get the right kind,
Speaker 3: of roasion pretty much don't have to spray, at all
Speaker 3: but anyway you get the idea that's the approach to
Speaker 3: all these things, is culturally let's get things right and
Speaker 3: then we have much fewer problems that we have to
Speaker 3: deal with and maybe mix up a SPRAY for i
Speaker 3: was visiting with some of the Folks That pierce scapes
Speaker 3: the other day and they're doing some projects Out that
Speaker 3: i'm trying to get the weather to COOPERATE so i
Speaker 3: can go out and go to the site on one of,

Speaker 3: A look it will. Be inspiring we're going to head
Speaker 3: Out to tascascita now and Visit with jim. This Morning,
Speaker 3: hello jim welcome To.
Speaker 1: Garden line, Good morning thank you so much for. Being
Speaker 1: here here's THE question. I have i'm working on a
Speaker 1: project On the this plant has a crepe myrtle tree,
Speaker 1: in it and then on the other side of, the
Speaker 1: fence the neighbor has a. Crape myrtle back to back
Speaker 1: to The one i'm. Working, On okay i've got roots
Speaker 1: growing from creape murle trees growing up in little trees
Speaker 1: popping up out of. The ground WHAT do? I, do.
Speaker 3: So basically you're seeing a root at the surface that's sending.
Speaker 3: Up shoots is that what? You're, describing absolutely, little leaves.
Speaker 1: Little trees they're all over.
Speaker 3: The, place well, you know it could be connected to
Speaker 3: your tree or your. Neighbor's tree I'm not i'm not
Speaker 3: sure which, it is but, if you if you will
Speaker 3: go down there and, you know figure out the root
Speaker 3: is coming from a tree and going away from, that
Speaker 3: tree cut the root off before the sprouts and excavate
Speaker 3: out the soil a. Little bit and then when you,
Speaker 3: cut it get some. Sucker stopper sucker stopper and sucker,
Speaker 3: stopper huh and you want to apply it to that.
Speaker 3: Cut surface and it is. A hormone it's a plant
Speaker 3: hormone that tells the plant now don't send. Up, shoots
Speaker 3: now this is not what you need to do because
Speaker 3: normally when, you prune it causes a plant to. Re sprout,
Speaker 3: you know just like you pron off, a branch the
Speaker 3: end of that branch is going to sprout several new shoots.
Speaker 3: Coming out sucker stopper helps. Prevent that and you can
Speaker 3: buy at a number of. Different places you are not
Speaker 3: super Close To. SOUTHWEST fertilizer I know bob has it
Speaker 3: There on Businet, and runwick but you may find it
Speaker 3: at A local ace, hardware store but just call and.
Speaker 3: Check first sure not running all over, the place but
Speaker 3: a sucker stopper or there's probably another brand that is the.
Speaker 3: Same equivalent that sucker stopper is the Only one i've,
Speaker 3: Ever gotten so it's the it's the name that comes.
Speaker 1: To mind, so basically just how DEEP do i have
Speaker 1: to go down with?
Speaker 3: The, ground oh, you know it's not a matter, of
Speaker 3: depth it's just a matter of being able to get
Speaker 3: it on. The surface like if you just took a
Speaker 3: shovel and cut, that root it'd be hard to get
Speaker 3: your little applicator down there to get to dab. THAT
Speaker 3: cut i have some coming around the base of a
Speaker 3: crape myrtle, sprouting UP and i just cut them away
Speaker 3: at the base where, they attach AND then i dad
Speaker 3: the sucker stopper on there and. We're done it works,
Speaker 3: pretty good, All right JIM oh i thank you.
Speaker 1: SO much i have a great day, you.
Speaker 3: Too sir, thank you appreciate. Your call, all right where are?

Speaker 10: kill the?
Speaker 3: Ground cover are the weeds grasses? Or not?

Speaker 3: weed and if you go to just, the grasses there
Speaker 3: are two ingredients that, are there and then there's a
Speaker 3: number of brands that you. Can buy one of the
Speaker 3: ingredients STARTS, with seth the boy's NAME s E, t
Speaker 3: h and then there's more. After that the other one
Speaker 3: starts with FLU as F L U. A z but
Speaker 3: go to the go to, the website look, at it and,
Speaker 3: in fact you should print that out because if you
Speaker 3: have other kinds, of weeds it'll it'll tell you what
Speaker 3: to use. For them now that these are over. The top,
Speaker 3: in fact one, Of them fertilom's brand of one of
Speaker 3: those Is called fertilom Over the Top. Grass killer but
Speaker 3: that that there are many other brands and you just
Speaker 3: spray them and they kill. The grass they don't kill the,
Speaker 3: broad leaf and in, this case your clover like groundcover
Speaker 3: is a. Broad, Leaf.
Speaker 10: Awesome thank you. SO much i appreciate.
Speaker 3: Your help, all right you bet you take Care, of robert, all,
Speaker 3: right yeah. Bye bye that. Is true let's head now Up,
Speaker 3: To tomball texas and we're going to Talk. To, Steve,
Speaker 3: hey steve welcome. Regarden line, hey skip. Good.
Speaker 13: Morning hey when you sent, SOME pirs i want to
Speaker 13: see if you.
Speaker 3: Got, HIM yeah, i did go ahead and tell me.
Speaker 3: About it we.
Speaker 13: Bought a bunch of high biscuits at or, the nursery uh.
Speaker 13: Six plants they were all doing fantastic when they were
Speaker 13: in the pots and my wife. REPLANTED them a couple
Speaker 13: of them were Still, doing okay, they're blooming but that
Speaker 13: one particular Plant that i've, showed, you uh for the,
Speaker 13: last month we've they recommended sprinkling some seven dust, on
Speaker 13: them which, we did but that. One buds all of
Speaker 13: the flowers bud, like that but they. Don't bloom we
Speaker 13: thought that these squirrels were eating, them OFF but i
Speaker 13: don't think that's. THE case i wanted to see if
Speaker 13: you could tell anything or we might put.
Speaker 3: What was was the seven a dust or a spray
Speaker 3: that you? Put out it was it was. A, dust
Speaker 3: okay have you sprayed these? With anything we. Have, not
Speaker 3: okay there's some malformation on the way. It's growing it's kind.
Speaker 3: Of unusual trying to figure out what might be. CAUSING
Speaker 3: that I think hibiscus, likes warmth which we're finally. Getting,
Speaker 3: to now that is a fairly small container for. A
Speaker 3: hibiscus you can grow hibiscus in that, size container but
Speaker 3: it's a little on the, smaller side so it's a.
Speaker 3: Little easier it looks like you got a fairly chunky mix,
Speaker 3: in There unless i'm looking at mulch on, the surface
Speaker 3: and the soil level is a little low in. The
Speaker 3: container all of this adds up to it's easier for
Speaker 3: it to get stressed and maybe to abort a bloom
Speaker 3: or to have other issues. Like that so more, soil
Speaker 3: volume meaning a, bigger container meaning a more, full container
Speaker 3: will help. Avoid that that may be. A factor. Nutrient
Speaker 3: wise everything looks good on, your PLANTS so i would
Speaker 3: just have you tell me about your fertilizing. Of them
Speaker 3: come on And. Wife, nelson oh here. We go we're
Speaker 3: getting the experts. In here.
Speaker 4: It's The nelson's and the last ONE that i did
Speaker 4: was like the one that added acid to.
Speaker 3: The, Soil okay well that's why the plants look healthy
Speaker 3: in terms. Of, COLOR yeah i would just continue to
Speaker 3: do what. You're doing there are some little insects that
Speaker 3: can feed inside, the blooms like thrips and things that
Speaker 3: can cause problems. For plants that they're really a problem
Speaker 3: on roses a lot, of times but that may be
Speaker 3: playing a part. In, this overall they look, pretty HEALTHY
Speaker 3: just i. Don't know i'd give them some time if
Speaker 3: you've given Them the nelson fertilizer and you keep them,
Speaker 3: adequately moist watering as often as you need to to
Speaker 3: keep the. Soil moist they ought to perk out. Of
Speaker 3: this are they in lots? Of? Sun yes? Full, Sun,
Speaker 3: okay well sounds like you're doing. Everything right there's no
Speaker 3: symptom in the pictures other than a little bit of
Speaker 3: a malformation, of growth which sometimes viruses can. Do that
Speaker 3: there's no cure. For viruses sometimes it's. Insect feeding the
Speaker 3: insects inject a toxin and it causes the growth to.
Speaker 3: Be malformed instead of a normal, flat leaf it buckles
Speaker 3: like a, spinach leaf or it twists or something. Like
Speaker 3: THAT and i see a little bit of that. In
Speaker 3: THERE but i don't know what's in your power at.
Speaker 3: This point based on the Photos that. I'M seeing, i
Speaker 3: think if ever, IN mind i would just wait and
Speaker 3: see continue to make sure it gets. Adequate water so
Speaker 3: what you're telling me is the blooms hit the STAGE
Speaker 3: that i see they're all curled up and they haven't.
Speaker 3: Opened yet but they never. Open, correct yeah well let's
Speaker 3: partecular One doesn't that is. Very, interesting well.
Speaker 13: What do you suggest with a liquid? Seven?
Speaker 3: DUST yeah i wouldn't do the seven again. On them
Speaker 3: it's it is not a problem that seven. Will cure
Speaker 3: but if you wanted to do a systemic insecticide in,
Speaker 3: the pot you drench it in the pot and the
Speaker 3: roots take, it up that might work. Pretty good there
Speaker 3: are some systemic insecticides you are, up there, you know in,
Speaker 3: that region you can, you know plants for all seasons,
Speaker 3: for example is going to have some things, like that
Speaker 3: and just tell them you need something to go up
Speaker 3: in the hibiscus plant itself and you drench it in
Speaker 3: the soil and then they're going to move up in
Speaker 3: the plumbing of the plant and so things that are
Speaker 3: sucking juices out of the plant get. The poison so
Speaker 3: it's not something you're putting on the leaves or on.
Speaker 3: The blooms you're putting it in. The roots and why
Speaker 3: don't you? Try that that would be the ONE thing
Speaker 3: i think if we're dealing with some sort of piercing
Speaker 3: sucking insect that's causing these problems and causing the. BLOOMS
Speaker 3: problems i think that would be your.
Speaker 13: Best, bet okay, all right one, Other, question yeah.
Speaker 3: Go ahead you were.
Speaker 13: Talking To The texas gordon, guy yesterday, the editor and
Speaker 13: he was talking about his grandson posting a picture of
Speaker 13: some ornaments on tomatoes to keep the birds from. Pecking,
Speaker 13: them yes do you hear any feedback? ON that i
Speaker 13: remember you said you weren't sure.
Speaker 3: That, Worked well, i'm Not and i'm not trying to
Speaker 3: cash shade. ON it i just, You know i've heard
Speaker 3: for years people doing that with, red Ornaments but i've never,
Speaker 3: seen like here's a trial we did and we put
Speaker 3: these out and it, worked here and it was replicated
Speaker 3: in some way where you can kind of just make
Speaker 3: sure it wasn't just that the birds happened. To LEAD
Speaker 3: but i have never gotten a definitive answer. On it
Speaker 3: it certainly doesn't cost much, To.
Speaker 13: Try, Okay Yeah so i'm thinking the mocking birds and
Speaker 13: crows are pecking our tomatoes.
Speaker 3: ARE white i, Got, you well you know what will
Speaker 3: work or our. Ganza bags now you may not know what.
Speaker 3: It is your wife may know what an organza, bag
Speaker 3: is but there it's like a little mesh bag that
Speaker 3: has a draw string. On it and you can buy,
Speaker 3: them online, you know Even an amazon kind. Of place
Speaker 3: you can buy them in. Different sizes but if you,
Speaker 3: bought one like let's say it's four by six, or
Speaker 3: something you slip it over the tomato when it's young
Speaker 3: and just pull the. Draw string you don't have the.
Speaker 3: Tiny knotch you just pull it and friction holds it
Speaker 3: closed and the tomato grows. Inside There and i'm told
Speaker 3: by gardeners that that keeps the birds from. Pecking, them
Speaker 3: now if you got an acre, of tomatoes that's, not
Speaker 3: practical but for one or two or three or, four
Speaker 3: plants you can put those on on the tomatoes and.
Speaker 3: Try THAT and i From what i'm hearing, from people those.
Speaker 13: Are, working okay she's already pulled, it UP and i
Speaker 13: think we're going to be placing. An order we love.
Speaker 3: Our, tomatoes, Yeah, yeah well think about. Your tomatoes, you
Speaker 3: know if it's a if it's a cherry that has a,
Speaker 3: long cluster a bag is going to need to be
Speaker 3: able to. Accommodate that but generally a four by. SIX
Speaker 3: works i use them for. OKRA breeding i can put
Speaker 3: it over an okra flower and keep the bees OUT
Speaker 3: until i go in there to. Cross, It uh and it.
Speaker 3: Works well but you can, BUY them, I mean i.
Speaker 3: Don't know probably one hundred of them is not that,
Speaker 3: much money, you know so just chop around a. Little
Speaker 3: bit see, See hey and if you, DO that i
Speaker 3: want to hear from you how, that works how that's working.
Speaker 3: FOR you i always like to hear from people that are.
Speaker 3: Trying things we'll try right.
Speaker 13: For the leafeed, or ants it took a couple, of
Speaker 13: applications but they.
Speaker 3: Finally disappeared oh is that THE thing i? Sent, you, yes, sir,
Speaker 3: yes okay well be ready to get it, out Again
Speaker 3: because i'm told that it's. Never Forever but i'm glad
Speaker 3: to hear. That work thank you for letting me. KNOW

Speaker 3: of mixes for potting soils and amending beds and mulches
Speaker 3: and things plants for. All seasons it's just North of
Speaker 3: Luetta on highway to Forty Nine. Tombo parkway it's easy
Speaker 3: to get to seven to one three three seven six
Speaker 3: sixteen forty six seven one three three seven six sixteen.
Speaker 3: Forty six take a little break here in, A second Bonnie,
Speaker 3: and angleton you're going to be our first up when

Speaker 3: Your question for the rest, of you go grab a
Speaker 3: cup of coffee and maybe check out gardening with skip
Speaker 3: dot com so you can see THESE things i keep.
Speaker 3: Referring to, all righty, welcome back welcome back to. Garden
Speaker 3: line good to heave you. With, us hey if you
Speaker 3: want to have beautiful blooms on whatever, You're Growing Nelson
Speaker 3: plant food has a product that is. It's amazing it's Called.
Speaker 3: Color start, in fact it is so popular people that
Speaker 3: are ordering it from out. OF state i mean they're
Speaker 3: shipping the things out of state that somebody call recently
Speaker 3: and it, WAS like i got a sample of this and.
Speaker 3: IT'S great i need a palette, of it. YOU know,
Speaker 3: i mean they really really like. This stuff and there's
Speaker 3: a reason Why color star has been around a. Long
Speaker 3: time but. It works it. Brings color it could be a.
Speaker 3: Flower bed maybe you got some angelonia out there, right
Speaker 3: now MAYBE some i, don't know petunias or whatever's growing in.
Speaker 3: Your beds you want them to keep blooming and have
Speaker 3: good vigor. And health color straw will. Do it and the,
Speaker 3: reason is in order for a plant to, produce blooms
Speaker 3: it's got to, have leaves and it's got to have
Speaker 3: sunlight on the leaves and that produces carbohydrates which makes
Speaker 3: it bloom and bloom. And bloom so if you let
Speaker 3: a plant bloom, itself out and our modern flowers that
Speaker 3: bloom themselves, to, death practically just give it. A boost
Speaker 3: you can share Back YOUR what i like to Do
Speaker 3: is i've got some, some petunias, some Supertunias and i'll share,
Speaker 3: them back put a Little color star, around them watered
Speaker 3: in real good and get a fresh, new booth boost of,
Speaker 3: vegetative growth and then here comes a whole bunch. More
Speaker 3: blooms And color star doesn't just WORK on, i mean, it's, perennials,
Speaker 3: annuals yes but it's it's shrubs and all kinds of
Speaker 3: things that. Have blooms color. Shars excellent It's. From nelson
Speaker 3: you can find it all over. The place you can
Speaker 3: buy it by, the jar and you just need to
Speaker 3: have it on hand because you're always going to be
Speaker 3: wanting to use it for continuing bloom and beauty on.
Speaker 3: Your plants we're going to go Now to Bonnie. And Engleton,
Speaker 3: hey bonnie welcome To. Garden line, good.
Speaker 14: Morning sir how are you today?
Speaker 3: Doing good? Doing good how can? We help.
Speaker 14: We have two, very large maybe thirty to forty foot
Speaker 14: of countries in. Our yard can't get our, arms around,
Speaker 14: you know, their trunk and all of a sudden the
Speaker 14: leaves are.
Speaker 4: Getting stripped one of them IS like i, would say
Speaker 4: seventy five to eighty percent. Stripped off the other one.
Speaker 4: IS starting i can't see any caterpillars running up and down,
Speaker 4: the trunk but there.
Speaker 10: They are.
Speaker 3: You suggest, some well, you KNOW if i wish you had,
Speaker 3: a ladder you could climb up there, and look because
Speaker 3: there's going to be a caterpillar. Around somewhere they're probably
Speaker 3: not running up and down. The trunk but it's definitely,
Speaker 3: not webworms because you didn't mention anything. About webs but
Speaker 3: there is a caterpillar called, walnut caterpillar and there's some
Speaker 3: others that can attack and feed on. Pecan, trees now pecans.
Speaker 3: Are resilient if they lose, their foliage they. CAN relief,
Speaker 3: i mean it's not good, for them but you know
Speaker 3: they can. Do it it's not going to kill the
Speaker 3: tree if you catch it. Early enough you can use
Speaker 3: sprays to control the leaf. Feeding pests but the older the,
Speaker 3: caterpillars get the less effective the spraying is going, to
Speaker 3: be especially with some of our. Organic SPRAYS so i
Speaker 3: could suggest some things if you have the spray capacity
Speaker 3: to be able to cover maybe eighty percent of the
Speaker 3: canopy of the, pecan tree or we could, just wait
Speaker 3: let nature run its course and the leaves will come
Speaker 3: back out again. On it with you losing that much of,
Speaker 3: THE leaves i THINK we're i think we're a little
Speaker 3: bit late to accomplish a whole lot with, a.
Speaker 4: Spray, All right and the lowest branches on these pecan
Speaker 4: trees or maybe gate foot off, the grounds they're just
Speaker 4: REALLY so.
Speaker 3: I, think yeah, Waited, out, yeah wait wait and watch you're.
Speaker 3: Making up you're making a lot of paper hot wasps
Speaker 3: happy right now because they're in there hauling. Caterpillars out
Speaker 3: that's their number. One food there are probably a lot
Speaker 3: of birds that are happy. Right NOW but I think
Speaker 3: i think your tree is gonna, Be okay it's just
Speaker 3: this has been A year. I had you're not the
Speaker 3: first call where something stripping a pecan and there's, no, webs, right.
Speaker 15: Okay, all right well then that's.
Speaker 4: That question do you have time for? Another question?
Speaker 6: Real?
Speaker 3: Quick?
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 14: HUH okay i have lost. The lilies don't know the
Speaker 14: name of any, of them but.
Speaker 4: There seems to be like rust on.
Speaker 14: The leaves ever had?
Speaker 4: This before is THERE something i should be putting?
Speaker 12: On them or is this just.
Speaker 4: Something from the wetness that will go away?
Speaker 3: In time is this like a day lily or a?
Speaker 3: Tiger lily what do you know what kind of lily?
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It's it puts up one big fence stem and then
Speaker 4: maybe it's it's like trumpety at. The top, you know
Speaker 4: there's like four or five blooms at the top.
Speaker 14: And there it's fatter than a.
Speaker 8: DAY lily, i mean the stem is much better than.
Speaker 4: Day.
Speaker 3: Lily, sign, yeah well it's a rust diseases are common
Speaker 3: on a number of different kinds of liies that we
Speaker 3: have to. Deal. With uh the challenges is finding something
Speaker 3: that will shut. It down oftentimes the foliage is so
Speaker 3: infected that you have to just cut it off and
Speaker 3: have it re sprout and then treat it as it.
Speaker 3: Re sprouts that's that's one situation where you're looking in
Speaker 3: all your have rust, on them but products That contained
Speaker 3: do you have a pin or? Pencil, Handy no, I'M sorry.
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm, Great okay well this will be work

Speaker 3: and out To the woodlands and we're going to Talk
Speaker 3: to john. This Morning, hey john welcome To guard Line.
Speaker 15: And skip can you?
Speaker 3: Hear, me, okay, yes sir how can?
Speaker 15: We, Help okay i've got some take all patch that
Speaker 15: showed up in. The backyard i've got the characteristic melting
Speaker 15: in the center, and yellowing and it's, very Circular and
Speaker 15: i've got black stolens and black melting. Away, roots Okay
Speaker 15: so i'm fairly sure this is the first time it's
Speaker 15: an Unavoidable situation. I've been I've Got Great saint augustine
Speaker 15: in the shade in. The backyard, get so, All.
Speaker 3: Right so let's just assume, let's yeah let's assume it's
Speaker 3: take all. The round the circular part doesn't sound like,
Speaker 3: take all but all the. Rest Does uh so. Take
Speaker 3: all there are a number of good products. For it
Speaker 3: if you can find a product that contains a zoxystrobin
Speaker 3: a Z. X y that's the FIRST letters. A zoxy,
Speaker 3: those products there's One brand i'm familiar with that's over,
Speaker 3: the counter, but anyway. That's systemic it gets in. The
Speaker 3: plant you put it, to granules you put them on.
Speaker 3: The ground they're, taking up they're taken up by the
Speaker 3: plant and they do a good job of fighting. That,
Speaker 3: disease normally we don't apply. Granules now if you look at,
Speaker 3: My schedule October and november is when we took for
Speaker 3: take all. Root rot but it wouldn't hurt to treat
Speaker 3: now if you want to go ahead and. Try that
Speaker 3: the bottom line is it's, losing roots so you need
Speaker 3: to make sure it never. Dries out that doesn't mean
Speaker 3: soggy wet all. The time it just means it has.
Speaker 3: Less roots so let's make sure the soil stays moist
Speaker 3: to give it the. Best chance there is also a
Speaker 3: Product By fertile loam that is an iron supplement with.
Speaker 3: Other micronutrients it's iron and other micronutrients By fur lom
Speaker 3: and you can hose in spray that on your take
Speaker 3: all root rot and that helps bypass the fact that
Speaker 3: the roots aren't taking it up and gets those micros,
Speaker 3: in there and you're gonna deal with the problem. Of
Speaker 3: yellowing so now you got. To grass it's fighting a
Speaker 3: disease but also can't get the nutrients. It needs so,
Speaker 3: we're gonna, you know we're gonna DO the iv here
Speaker 3: with that fertil on product and get it to. The
Speaker 3: leaves and those two things combined are your best approach
Speaker 3: for the take all at, this.
Speaker 15: Point gotcha how do you feel about a micro light
Speaker 15: soil acid.
Speaker 3: Of fire, that's fine take all root. Rot favors it's
Speaker 3: favored by high pH and if you want to use
Speaker 3: their their acid product or anything that helps bring the
Speaker 3: pH on the surface there where the rhizomes are the
Speaker 3: runners rather brings a. pH down that won't hurt anything
Speaker 3: and probably is going to help a. Little, Bit.
Speaker 15: John you bet, all right, thank you thank you for.
Speaker 3: The call appreciate that, very much. Really. Do yeah, you

Speaker 6: an in my particular Store At Cyprus, aase hardware we
Speaker 6: do ground up three hundred and sixty five days, a

Speaker 6: time allowing you to make a. Huge impact last year
Speaker 6: our round up numbers For ace as the whole we
Speaker 6: raised over set point two million dollars, so pennies and
Speaker 6: that just makes a.
Speaker 3: Huge difference that's just people throwing a handful of pocket
Speaker 3: change out, you know you don't even know, it's gone
Speaker 3: and and it mounted to you're saying seven million dollars
Speaker 3: raise as. A whole that, Is huge that is that is. Huge,

Speaker 6: ability To Have texas children's right here in.
Speaker 3: Our community that that, is true and it really does make.
Speaker 3: A DIFFERENCE and i know, you you even as, a
Speaker 3: family y'all have been impacted, by that and as, you
Speaker 3: say a lot of people, certainly have and, you know
Speaker 3: you don't think about how important that is until one
Speaker 3: day you find out you've got a child that is not,
Speaker 3: doing well and you go through the things that parents,
Speaker 3: go through parents and grandparents and, that's like oh, my gosh,
Speaker 3: what now what are we going? To do and having
Speaker 3: that kind of expertise here just down the street from
Speaker 3: us In The greater houston area. Is amazing.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 6: Truly is and if you think, about it the two
Speaker 6: the worst words you can hear out of a doctor's
Speaker 6: mouth and the best words you can hear out of
Speaker 6: a doctor's mouth is you need to take your Kid
Speaker 6: To Texas. Children's hospital and the best words are it's.
Speaker 3: Right. Here, yeah wow we are fortunate in that well.
Speaker 3: IT is i, DON'T know, i mean it just almost
Speaker 3: sounds cliche or patronizing to say thank you so much for,
Speaker 3: doing THIS but i really appreciate the Fact that ace is,
Speaker 3: doing it and in so, many ways everybody that shops there,
Speaker 3: is contributing and thank you too for. Doing that it
Speaker 3: takes so little to round up and THAT'S just, i
Speaker 3: mean it's like you didn't even, do it and yet
Speaker 3: look how it. Adds up i'm stunned by, the number
Speaker 3: like seven million dollars, for example on something like that
Speaker 3: on a national. Ace basis and we're fortunate Here, in
Speaker 3: texas like, you said it's here in. Our town we
Speaker 3: get to have that extra access, to it which.
Speaker 6: Is, cool well and a few, years back we were
Speaker 6: able to do something that we're very. Proud of we
Speaker 6: were able to actually help open a pediacurate brain clinic
Speaker 6: There At texas children because when my grandson was was
Speaker 6: a unfortunately or fortunately a regular Patient At, texas hospital
Speaker 6: they didn't have a clinic where you went in and
Speaker 6: you saw, the rheumatologists, the oncologist and the all the
Speaker 6: different doctors at. One visit it was you had to make,
Speaker 6: different appointments and, you know if you go From from cyprus,
Speaker 6: to downtown that's not an. Easy, commute now fortunately they
Speaker 6: have other campuses, around now but then we were going
Speaker 6: back and forth downtown and one of the things that
Speaker 6: they were trying to do is raise enough money to
Speaker 6: be able to go in and open up a pedi
Speaker 6: accurate brain clinic and be able to see all the
Speaker 6: doctors at, one visit And doctor mescal was able to
Speaker 6: help us get in with several of the other doctors there,
Speaker 6: and coordinate and then we were able to raise enough
Speaker 6: money to put together a clinic where my grandson has,
Speaker 6: auto encephalitis which is basically a disease that attacked your,
Speaker 6: own brain and they were able to shut it down
Speaker 6: and stop. That progression he's somewhat in. Remission Today thank
Speaker 6: God To texas children possible because they did save. His
Speaker 6: life so that's. Our why and you know when we
Speaker 6: started in nineteen, ninety one our kid for infants at

Speaker 3: That's Huge, and bill, you know as you're, Saying that
Speaker 3: i'm just thinking about there's, the patient and you were
Speaker 3: talking about little children that don't know what's going on
Speaker 3: and they just know, something's wrong and they're in a.
Speaker 3: Scary place and my parents are obviously, very worried so
Speaker 3: something must be. Really wrong there's that struggle and then going.
Speaker 3: Through everything but then there's a parents and the family
Speaker 3: and the friends. And things they go, through this and
Speaker 3: it is it is beyond a blessing to have Tech as.
Speaker 3: Children's here but the thing that, Strikes, me bill is
Speaker 3: everybody listening, to them our voice right now can. Do something,
Speaker 3: you know you look at something like some major childhood
Speaker 3: disease or cancer or some, other issue and you're, just,
Speaker 3: going well WHAT can? I do, YOU know, I mean
Speaker 3: i got pocket, change here and that's exactly what you,
Speaker 3: just said is pocket change put seven million dollars into
Speaker 3: something to. Help children and there's so many, other ways
Speaker 3: but you're kind of telling us that there's something important
Speaker 3: that we. Can do there's something significant that we can
Speaker 3: be a. Part of and that, feels good and it's
Speaker 3: good knowing. It's local it's good knowing the people you walk,
Speaker 3: into issue, you see the managers and employees, and stuff

Speaker 6: full Line of yetti cooler yetty cups. Right now we

Speaker 6: sure and stop in and, see, those Or like, skip
Speaker 6: said hop On acehardwer texas dot com and you can
Speaker 6: see the deals that we. HAVE there i do want
Speaker 6: to talk about a little bit about. Our stores so
Speaker 6: In The aceharder, texas group we have thirty. Four stores
Speaker 6: imagine thirty four. Different personalities so my store which, has,
Speaker 6: fudge truffles, ice cream a, gift section a, grill section
Speaker 6: and then a traditional hardware sure, to boot there's thirty
Speaker 6: four different personality so when you Go To, katie hardware
Speaker 6: it's completely different personality than. My store so it's kind
Speaker 6: of like a new adventure at every store you. Stop
Speaker 6: at and my WIFE and i do this all the
Speaker 6: time when. We're traveling we make a point to stop
Speaker 6: at different a stores to see the. Different personality so
Speaker 6: it is thirty four. Different owners we've got some multi.
Speaker 6: Store owners but the key is is that most of
Speaker 6: your stores that you, shop into you can either talk
Speaker 6: to the, general manager you can talk to the owner of,
Speaker 6: the store and you get help like there's. No tomorrow
Speaker 6: we have we have a bundance of people that have
Speaker 6: different varieties, of backgrounds so we can get you in
Speaker 6: and help you with what your problems are and get
Speaker 6: you the, right product hopefully on the.
Speaker 3: First time that is that. Is important that. Is important
Speaker 3: and SO while ace is a national chain and so
Speaker 3: you do get the standard things that you would Expect From,
Speaker 3: ace hardware because it's truly a local store with a
Speaker 3: local owner in. Your neighborhood you are getting the local
Speaker 3: aspect of it and the local flavor. Of it it's
Speaker 3: a family that you. Can know in, other words you
Speaker 3: know the folks that run. These stores they're truly mom
Speaker 3: and pop kinds of, stores because like, you said each
Speaker 3: of you gets to put your own personality and maybe
Speaker 3: even what fits the neighborhood that. You're in, you know
Speaker 3: the kinds of things that people there would be interested
Speaker 3: in and provide those. For them you're not locked into
Speaker 3: just having to sell. Certain things.
Speaker 6: And and i'll back to what we talked. About earlier
Speaker 6: if you, shock local it. Stays local we, give local
Speaker 6: so we're we're giving back to our community and numerous.
Speaker 6: Different ways But, In texas children's is a huge portion,
Speaker 6: of that but one hundreds of our, we're local so it.

Speaker 3: THE way.
Speaker 16: I know it's the most Beautiful line i've ever. Had
Speaker 16: here i've been here twenty two years and it's thicker.
Speaker 16: And everything but we're getting all these brown spots all
Speaker 16: not a, whole lot but those are just two of
Speaker 16: THEM that, i sent and we got some in the
Speaker 16: same place, last.
Speaker 3: Year, same place, very well the.
Speaker 6: Same areas it's on the side of.
Speaker 3: The, house yeah so that is something. That is i'm going,
Speaker 3: to say use the. Term burning that's something burning. The
Speaker 3: grass that is not, a disease and that is not
Speaker 3: an insect. DOING that i don't know what. It is
Speaker 3: but if you had a dog, that had, you know
Speaker 3: like a concentrated urine spot, or something it would look exactly.
Speaker 3: Like THAT so, i mean if you spill some fertilizer on,
Speaker 3: the ground the salt based, synthetic fertilizer it would burn
Speaker 3: it just like. That too something's happening THERE and i
Speaker 3: don't know what. IT is i don't, know why but
Speaker 3: their irregularity of it kind of makes me think of
Speaker 3: something chemical or. Like that chemical could include dog urine
Speaker 3: if it were a little. Different shape i've had spots, Like,
Speaker 3: that MARTHA where i SET a i, don't know a
Speaker 3: piece of a bag or something on. The ground it
Speaker 3: had something and it was clear and the sunshine through
Speaker 3: and just kind of cook the grass and it looked.
Speaker 3: Like that, but again we're burning the. Grass there, we're not,
Speaker 3: YOU know I don't you don't need to go out
Speaker 3: and buy a. Fund beside your lawn looks. Beautiful everywhere
Speaker 3: this is this one, little distinct. IRREGULAR spot i don't
Speaker 3: know what else would, Cause it so kind of pick,
Speaker 3: your brain try to try To play colombo a little
Speaker 3: bit on what could have happened, right there being in the.
Speaker 3: FRONT yard i doubt that it's a place where the
Speaker 3: dog went to, the bathroom but.
Speaker 7: Could, be no it's on.
Speaker 16: The side we live on a corner and it's on
Speaker 16: the side of our house. The street but we don't.
Speaker 17: HAVE dogs, i mean we don't have, a dog and
Speaker 17: the dogs don't.
Speaker 16: Run loose in.
Speaker 6: This area, YOU know.
Speaker 3: I don't know whether than.
Speaker 6: COULD have i, mean.
Speaker 3: No if that was, the case it would be because of,
Speaker 3: the frequency and we would be seeing a lot of
Speaker 3: gray leaf SPOT and i don't see it in. Your
Speaker 3: pictures so you know it will close back in the
Speaker 3: grass from around it will close. Back. In uh, you
Speaker 3: know if you catch those things when right when, they
Speaker 3: happen you can drench them with water and wash the
Speaker 3: salts and. Things out but in, this case the damage
Speaker 3: has already. Been done so there's no sense in renting. That,
Speaker 3: spot oh we wouldn't hurt to just take.
Speaker 16: Your garden we'd pull out The dead should we pull
Speaker 16: out the? Dead stuff well.
Speaker 3: You could it's not, a disease so one benefit of
Speaker 3: the dead being there is that it's blocking sunlight for hitting,
Speaker 3: the soil so you end up getting we'd see sprouting right.
Speaker 3: In there but it wouldn't hurt to pull it out
Speaker 3: if you want to pull it out and then maybe
Speaker 3: throw a little bit of a compost over the surface of,
Speaker 3: the soil just at like a half, inch deep that.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't hurt maybe speed at closing in a. Little, BIT
Speaker 3: yeah i don't know what is, causing IT but i
Speaker 3: do know the kind of damage, it is and so
Speaker 3: We've already i've kind of already talked. About that but
Speaker 3: that's my.
Speaker 16: Best, Shot, okay well it's not, brown patch that's what.
Speaker 3: It is definitely not a. Brown patch it does not
Speaker 3: take a. Root rot it is not great, leaf spot is,
Speaker 3: not chinchbugs there's, not grubs there's not. SOD webworms, i mean,
Speaker 3: you know it's we can eliminate all.
Speaker 16: Those things, was, weird allay, All right i'll worry. ABOUT
Speaker 16: it i think.
Speaker 3: You need to get you a. Game camera you know
Speaker 3: those things where they when deer, walk up it takes
Speaker 3: a picture. Of them and you need to catch some
Speaker 3: dog walker letting Their letting fido run over in your
Speaker 3: yard from that. Side yard that'd be my my best
Speaker 3: conspiracy theory.
Speaker 16: Right there the only thing is it's closer to. THE house,
Speaker 16: i mean if it were near, THE street i could
Speaker 16: see that happening because the people that walk, the dogs.
Speaker 16: You know but, this is this is closer up to,
Speaker 16: the HOUSE and I don't we just don't see. Dogs running,
Speaker 16: But anyway i'll put worrying.
Speaker 3: About, it sorry. Sounds good. Thanks man that.

Speaker 3: and Talk. To Glenn, hey glenn welcome To. Garden, line well, Good.
Speaker 5: Morning, skip hey uh, real QUICKLY before i get to,
Speaker 5: MY question i just want to give you an idea
Speaker 5: of How long i've been listening to.
Speaker 3: Guarden line do?
Speaker 5: Do it do? It now and watch out of.
Speaker 3: Those nematodes oh, my gosh Old. Do glenn you're, DATING yourself. I.
Speaker 5: Know uh my quick, question though WOULD be i wanted
Speaker 5: to get your opinion about what you think are the
Speaker 5: best mosquito REPELLING plants i can place around my.
Speaker 3: Patio area i've got.
Speaker 5: All right i've got a list, of lavender, Basl mint,
Speaker 5: chrisanthrain's lemongrass alim, sage, catnip, rosemary GERANIUMS and i don't
Speaker 5: know it's just say as a peppermint plant, or Now
Speaker 5: but i've got that on.
Speaker 3: The, list well there's pepper pepper mint as, a mint
Speaker 3: the ones that have a centru seed kind. Of smell
Speaker 3: the lemon grass is an exact sample. OF that a
Speaker 3: copper canyon daisy is another example of that kind of.
Speaker 3: Strong smell those will keep the mosquites off. Of them
Speaker 3: but let me just make a point about mosquito. Repellent
Speaker 3: plants it's not like you put a plant on the
Speaker 3: coffee table outside and everybody sitting around doesn't. Get mosquitoes
Speaker 3: the mosquitoes don't like the land on, that plant and
Speaker 3: if there's a little bit of something drifted in through,
Speaker 3: the air they may not. Like that but it doesn't
Speaker 3: work as well as it's promoted. To work but mosquitoes
Speaker 3: do like to hide, In foliage so if you got
Speaker 3: shrubs around, the house that's where they're going to spend
Speaker 3: the day. Times hiding and so if you had a
Speaker 3: plant that they didn't like the, smell of they didn't
Speaker 3: want to land on, that plant then it would be
Speaker 3: beneficial in. That way but ultimately you're going to need
Speaker 3: to be using mosquito dunks to control. Stagnant areas and
Speaker 3: then the Folks at pestbro's have the mosquita buckets that
Speaker 3: you put around and those really make. A difference so
Speaker 3: just some kind of caveat there for the. Mosquito, plants okay,
Speaker 3: very good, thank you, all, right sir thank you. Very
Speaker 3: much appreciate that we're going to go now to both.
Speaker 3: OF them i tell, you everybody it was raring to
Speaker 3: go when we got through here with, A guest Ellen In.
Speaker 3: Southwest houston welcome To.
Speaker 9: Garden line, thank you, thank, you skip. GOOD morning i
Speaker 9: have a very very old. Oak tree that is the
Speaker 9: bark is not looking good. At all it's got some
Speaker 9: looks like holes.
Speaker 6: In it i've.
Speaker 9: Already had to take one, limb OFF and i need
Speaker 9: someone that could come take a look at it and
Speaker 9: SEE what i need.
Speaker 3: To do, all right do you have a pin or paper?
Speaker 3: HANDY there i, sure do. ALL right i want you
Speaker 3: to write down this number seven to one three six
Speaker 3: nine nine two six sixty three seven one three six
Speaker 3: nine twenty six. Sixty three That Is Affordable Tree Service
Speaker 3: Martin spoon. Moore's company when you, call them you're going
Speaker 3: to Talk to martin's mom telling me heard about On. Garden.
Speaker 3: Line uh and they can come out and, examine it
Speaker 3: see what's going on with, those holes if anything needs to,
Speaker 3: be done and, tell you, you know tell you what's
Speaker 3: going to take to get perfect and they cover.
Speaker 9: Your, one great THAT'S what. I needed and one. More
Speaker 9: question my egg plants went from beautiful green leaves to,
Speaker 9: milky white AND so i started spring kneem oil. On
Speaker 9: THEM am i too late?
Speaker 6: To do that.
Speaker 3: Milky white like to have powdery mildew, on them almost
Speaker 3: like there's, a white very. Very fine knee oil will control.
Speaker 3: Powdery mildew but the earlier you catch it, the better because.
Speaker 3: You don't you don't fix a leaf that's already. Been
Speaker 3: infected it's the damage will have already, been done but
Speaker 3: you shut it down right where. It is and, knee
Speaker 3: oil you would need to do it periodically in order
Speaker 3: to prevent new spots from. Breaking out and the high
Speaker 3: humidity and mild temperatures are what powdery, mildey loves and
Speaker 3: so you would need to. Do that there are also
Speaker 3: products that go into the plant and prevent, future infections
Speaker 3: but the knee oil is an organic option that. Will
Speaker 3: work you're just going to the first sign. Of it
Speaker 3: go ahead and spray the.
Speaker 9: Knem, oil, okay, great well thank you.
Speaker 3: So, much okay. THANK you i appreciate. Your call let's,
Speaker 3: see here, we're oh we, Got time we've got time to.
Speaker 3: Do this let's go now out to. Sugar land uh
Speaker 3: and we're want to Talk. To DESAI am i saying?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 17: Right, desire, yes, yes yes thanks for answering. MY phone
Speaker 17: i have a vegetable PATCH and i was away for
Speaker 17: a few days and lots of grass and breeds are
Speaker 17: growing in, that PATCH which i hate to take, it
Speaker 17: OUT but i had to do that. Boring, job now after,
Speaker 17: the rain it was easy for me to take out all. The,
Speaker 17: weeds now WHAT should i put on that soil so
Speaker 17: that it would be, you know it would not be easy.
Speaker 6: For the weeds.
Speaker 17: To grow what kind of mults or whatever you want
Speaker 17: to suggest which is good for?
Speaker 6: The, vegetable also you know maybe? Something?
Speaker 16: Organic yes maybe?
Speaker 3: Something, Yeah GOOD well. I decide so there's there's two
Speaker 3: kinds of ways weeds are. Getting down one is from
Speaker 3: seeds and any kind of a mulch that blocks the sunlight.
Speaker 3: Prevents that the other kind or plants that have the
Speaker 3: perennial and then come out out of, the ground and
Speaker 3: Like a bermuda grass as, an example it can you
Speaker 3: can pull all of it off the surface that you
Speaker 3: see and then it just comes back out of the.
Speaker 3: Ground again and mulch won't stop that because it has
Speaker 3: the energy to push up through The mult so if
Speaker 3: you're dealing with this, first kind any good, THICK mulch
Speaker 3: i would probably put it about three inches the smaller
Speaker 3: the multch, particle size, the denser it blocks. The light,
Speaker 3: you know if you get, a big, chunky mulch you're
Speaker 3: gonna get some light in between those. Mulch pieces it
Speaker 3: kind of reaches. The ground but, a smaller finely ground
Speaker 3: mulch is going to give you. Better coverage and if
Speaker 3: you have a, chunky malt you just have to make it.
Speaker 3: Thicker DEEPER maybe i have to be three inches or
Speaker 3: more to do it with a, chunkier mulch but THAT'S
Speaker 3: what i. Would do. That's organic and whenever you need,
Speaker 3: to plant just pull the mulch back. And plant don't
Speaker 3: get rid of the. Old mulch it's it's going to
Speaker 3: be composed and it's going to. Be fine you don't
Speaker 3: happen to take. A newspaper do you a print copy of? A?
Speaker 3: Newspaper subscribe do you take a newspaper at?
Speaker 5: Your?
Speaker 3: HOUSE no i. Don't, know, NO yeah i know most
Speaker 3: people that that's how it. Is, nowadays boy back when we,
Speaker 3: took newspaper you could put four sheets a newspaper down
Speaker 3: or six and wet it with a hose and then
Speaker 3: throw something pretty on top of it, For MULCH and
Speaker 3: i mean it would be like three or four months
Speaker 3: before that newspaper started breaking down enough and it would
Speaker 3: give you a long term. Weed control but even just mulch,
Speaker 3: is good just melt.
Speaker 17: Is good what type of mulch do? You recommend any,
Speaker 17: particular brand any. Particular, type yeah.
Speaker 3: So you're down in The sugar, land area, down there
Speaker 3: and you're not far away from a Place Called. Sienna

Speaker 6: Garden line, hey skip good morning And Happy. Father's day.
Speaker 7: Thank you question, UH huh i have a question about.
Speaker 6: A weed i don't know what.
Speaker 7: It's called it's got a. Compound leaf i'm kind of nerding,
Speaker 7: out here but. It grows it produces a root that
Speaker 7: runs KIND of i guess you'd, say parallel like laterally rather.
Speaker 7: Than down and they're all along that route that's up new,
Speaker 7: little WEEDS and i was wondering what THE least, i
Speaker 7: know there's probably NOTHING organic i can use, on That
Speaker 7: but I'M guessing i need a systemic.
Speaker 3: For that is this is this in, Your. Lawn susan.
Speaker 6: Some of it's in, the lawn but it's mostly. Flower beds.
Speaker 3: Can you describe the shape of the leaf? To me.
Speaker 7: It's it has a LOT of i guess you'd say cuts.
Speaker 7: IN it i mean it's it's it's not like an
Speaker 7: oak leaf that's. RELATIVELY smooth i looked. IT up i
Speaker 7: found compound leaf that was as CLOSE as i. Can
Speaker 7: find but it's.
Speaker 6: Got a lot of.
Speaker 7: Little edges i've seen it out in the, roadsides Too
Speaker 7: so i'm guessing it's either a native or some sort
Speaker 7: of an infore kind.
Speaker 6: OF thing i.
Speaker 3: Don't, know, okay, well uh if it's a it's a
Speaker 3: broad leaf. Either way and for a broad leaf, weed
Speaker 3: control there are a number of different products that will.
Speaker 3: Control those if you go onto My website Gardening with skip,
Speaker 3: dot com there's a Publication called hobicides, for skips skips
Speaker 3: weed wiper and forget the weed wiper part, of that
Speaker 3: just the herbicides list takes each category of weed and
Speaker 3: gives you options for what we'll control, that category and
Speaker 3: so you'll find some suggestions. On there once our temperatures
Speaker 3: get up in the upper eighties to the, low nineties
Speaker 3: a lot of the effective products a trimac kinds of
Speaker 3: products are one example of those combo products that work.
Speaker 3: So well but once we get up in those temperatures the,
Speaker 3: low nineties they can start to really weaken and Damage
Speaker 3: Or saint. Augustine lawn and if they're in a flower
Speaker 3: bed and there's any broad leaf in the, flower bed
Speaker 3: they'll kill, those too just like they kill. The weeds
Speaker 3: so they have to be very careful how you. Apply
Speaker 3: those there's one Product, called celsius like the temperature celsius
Speaker 3: and when you, Apply, it yeah when you apply it
Speaker 3: comes in. Little packets it makes one gallon, of spray
Speaker 3: which is usually more than enough when you. Apply it
Speaker 3: it can even be in the low nineties and it's
Speaker 3: not going to hurt. Your LAWN and i like that.
Speaker 3: About IT but i mentioned the herbicides for the. Weed
Speaker 3: wiper if you've got these weeds growing amongst, desirable plans
Speaker 3: you can make a little homemade weed WIPER like i
Speaker 3: show you how to, do online and you can apply
Speaker 3: the product directly to the. Weed leaves it's two sponges
Speaker 3: that you space and it comes together.
Speaker 7: Doing THAT because i don't want, to kill, you know
Speaker 7: anything else that's, AROUND there i would just dab it
Speaker 7: on the.
Speaker 3: Individual, Things yeah so you don't need the weed wiper in,
Speaker 3: the lawn but in the. Flower bed but it's. All
Speaker 3: free it's all online on the website Gardening with skip.
Speaker 3: Dot com go check. That out but the list of
Speaker 3: products is. On. There, yeah now if you're not using
Speaker 3: it on, the lawn you don't need to worry. About
Speaker 3: celsius you can get trimach or any of the other
Speaker 3: PRODUCTS that i list on. That, publication.
Speaker 7: OKAY but i thought you said that celsius was for the.
Speaker 6: Hot WEATHER did?
Speaker 3: I misunderstand celsius is for when that weed you're describing
Speaker 3: as in your lawn and you want to kill, the
Speaker 3: weed but hurt. The lawn we use celsius when the
