Speaker 1: Welcome to Katie r. H Garden Line with Skip Richter.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 3: Trim.
Speaker 4: Just watch him as who many good things to see?
Speaker 4: Black crazy in glosing not a sign gas.
Speaker 3: The sum of between.
Speaker 5: Alrighty, I'm ready to go. How about you ready to
Speaker 5: do a little garden talking today? You're listening to garden Line.
Speaker 3: I'm your host, Skip Richter, And that's what we do here,
Speaker 3: talk about the things that interest you, Questions about lawns
Speaker 3: and trees and gardens. Maybe you're planning a new garden,
Speaker 3: a new garden bed. You're looking for some flowers that'll
Speaker 3: work for summer. You know, we can all kinds of questions,
Speaker 3: everything from oh, orchids in the house to I don't know,
Speaker 3: zz plant in the house. There's a z at least
Speaker 3: on the other end, how about azielias to zz plants?
Speaker 3: That ought to be the new thing? I say on there.
Speaker 3: But whatever kind of planet is, we'll be happy to
Speaker 3: help you with it. If it's past diseases and weeds
Speaker 3: you're trying to control, we can talk about those two.
Speaker 3: The main thing is, let's figure out how to make
Speaker 3: gardening more fun for you, how to make your garden
Speaker 3: more beautiful, your landscape more beautiful. How to make your
Speaker 3: flower beds and your vegetables and your herbs and fruit
Speaker 3: trees more productive. That's the goal, and then definitely have
Speaker 3: fun in the process. Sometimes it just comes down to
Speaker 3: the nuts and bolts, like Okay, is this tree gonna
Speaker 3: make it or not? What should I do? Cut it
Speaker 3: down or leave it or whatever. But a lot of
Speaker 3: time it's more about creating beauty and fun. So here's
Speaker 3: a suggestion I'd have for you back this afternoon, be
Speaker 3: a good day to get out and do a little
Speaker 3: of this. As you drive around town, look at what
Speaker 3: you see in other yards and go to neighborhoods you
Speaker 3: don't usually go to, you know, just check some different
Speaker 3: things out and notice what you like, just to you know,
Speaker 3: is that I like that color, I like that shrub.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. Take a picture of it.
Speaker 3: You can send it to me. We'll talk on the air,
Speaker 3: and we'll talk about what kind it is and what
Speaker 3: other things might go with it. Notice the things that
Speaker 3: you like. Maybe it's just one little thing. I was
Speaker 3: driving by a yard the other day and they had
Speaker 3: an arrangement of containers that was really pretty different size
Speaker 3: and types containers. The way they had them grouped together
Speaker 3: is kind of close to the front door, and it
Speaker 3: just looked good, and I just thought, well, that's a
Speaker 3: good idea. I like that to find things like that
Speaker 3: that you might like to do at your house and
Speaker 3: then begin to build something that is of interest to you.
Speaker 3: That's kind of what we're aiming for. That's what we're
Speaker 3: going after this morning. Of course, everybody asks questions about
Speaker 3: the lawns, how to have a beautiful lawn, how to
Speaker 3: keep it beautiful? Well, when it comes to summertime, the
Speaker 3: primary thing your lawn is needing is some nitrogen in
Speaker 3: small amounts over time, just provided little doses of nitrogen.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: Nitrophos Folks have a product called sweet green. It is
Speaker 3: not a slow release, it isn't. It releases pretty quickly.
Speaker 3: Microbes get a hold of it and they love it
Speaker 3: because it's got a lot of carbon chains in it,
Speaker 3: and they go after it and then they release it out.
Speaker 3: But you can do little small applications of sweet green
Speaker 3: as often, you know, as you see fat as your
Speaker 3: lawn likes and sweet greens not just for lawns, and
Speaker 3: I've used it in other places as well. But it's
Speaker 3: a good product, eleven percent nitrogen. It's an organic type product,
Speaker 3: so you're going to find it in a lot of
Speaker 3: places like other nitofoss products, and it makes a good
Speaker 3: little quick boost. I think it's an excellent product. Plus
Speaker 3: it smells really good. You're going to find it at
Speaker 3: places like Chended Forest and a Richmond Rosenberg, maybe Court
Speaker 3: Hardware on South Maine in Stafford, or m and D
Speaker 3: Cyprus up on Luetta. Let's do this. We got an
Speaker 3: early bird this morning on the phone, so we're going
Speaker 3: to head to tom Ball and talk to Mel. Hello, Mel,
Speaker 3: welcome to garden Line.
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Skiff.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 7: I said you I sent you an email. I hope
Speaker 7: my box just a few moments ago. I don't know
Speaker 7: if I don't know if I went through or not
Speaker 7: I got.
Speaker 3: It, and was it how many photos? Was it just
Speaker 3: one one?
Speaker 8: There were two?
Speaker 3: There were two.
Speaker 7: One of theould probably do but two of them, Okay,
Speaker 7: they look like a bomb went through them. I mean,
Speaker 7: I don't know what happened, what I did wrong when
Speaker 7: I planted them or what or if I didn't prune
Speaker 7: them properly. But any little bit of a water gets
Speaker 7: on them, A rainstorm or when my sprinkle system goes off. Man,
Speaker 7: they just kind of like explode. And I know you
Speaker 7: can see that all different odd shapes, and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're basically you're talking about they and they they
Speaker 3: the branches kind of open up and come apart where
Speaker 3: the bush doesn't look nice and upright, that's weird. Boxwood's
Speaker 3: a pretty stiff branched shrub. So I'm not sure what
Speaker 3: was going on there, if they were growing in a
Speaker 3: lot of shade or they just had them really bunched
Speaker 3: close together. I think they'll be fine even you know,
Speaker 3: if you wanted to, if you want to prop just
Speaker 3: a little bit. And but they once they get out
Speaker 3: there and get moving in the breeze and stuff, they
Speaker 3: should stiffen up and be fine. This isn't a boxwood
Speaker 3: ailment that that we're seeing here. But if you know,
Speaker 3: if you want them a little tighter, you can always
Speaker 3: trim them a little bit and get them to hedge
Speaker 3: and form more shoots and and that'll that'll make them
Speaker 3: a little stockier. But it just looks like the branches
Speaker 3: are a little lanky for the diameter of the branch.
Speaker 7: Well, what we got is we've taken like an what
Speaker 7: they're called it. Anyway, we put a strap around towards
Speaker 7: the bottom and well this yeah, yeah, so there's nothing
Speaker 7: I can do, I mean trim them or we just
Speaker 7: got to live.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 3: Well, they will stiffen.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: The strap I don't think is going to help a
Speaker 3: lot because it's not going to allow the movement that
Speaker 3: will help those branches to get a little bit stronger
Speaker 3: and stiffer. I would like, I said, I might have
Speaker 3: something that, you know, just kind of holding them from
Speaker 3: the ones that look like they're just flat laying over,
Speaker 3: you know, it kind of lifts them up a little bit.
Speaker 3: But I think maybe cutting them back by about a
Speaker 3: third will help.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then as they begin to regrow and again as
Speaker 3: you get wind and movement back in that along that
Speaker 3: side of the house, it's gonna they should stop this
Speaker 3: and and become no boxwoods.
Speaker 7: I can trim them back about a third now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would do about a third right now?
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, all righty squirrels too, So thank you?
Speaker 3: There you go. Now is does does what water come
Speaker 3: off the roof there and land on them?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 7: Huh no, it's just okay, good. It's just when it
Speaker 7: rains or when a sprinkler system goes off.
Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, all right, Melvi you too, thanks
Speaker 3: a lot, appreciate appreciate your call. You take care on
Speaker 3: this good Sunday. Uh Tree Services. I just had somebody
Speaker 3: send me some emails today and they had a question
Speaker 3: about a tree and it was, you know, all in
Speaker 3: the house and other things, and it's hard for me
Speaker 3: to assess that in photos. I mean, I can look
Speaker 3: and give you an opinion, but when we're talking about
Speaker 3: what's at risk is human life, your the your home
Speaker 3: roof getting crushed. You need to have a professional come
Speaker 3: out and look at that. An affordable tree service Martin
Speaker 3: Spoon Moore's company. They have been doing this for a
Speaker 3: very very long time. Family has been in the business,
Speaker 3: I believe over fifty five years now in the greater
Speaker 3: Houston area. And just give them a call and have
Speaker 3: them come out and look at what you need. They
Speaker 3: do consultations, they do trimming and pruning. And by the way,
Speaker 3: with storm season upon us, it's good to make sure
Speaker 3: your trees are in the strongest, most resilient condition they
Speaker 3: can be in when it comes to weathering the strong
Speaker 3: winds that come here. When we have our summer storms,
Speaker 3: you can. You can call them at seven one three
Speaker 3: six nine nine two six six three. If you call
Speaker 3: your you're probably going to talk to Martin's mom. It's
Speaker 3: a family business, and uh just tell her you heard
Speaker 3: about on Guardline. Guardline customers are their priority, so make
Speaker 3: sure and tell them that they do stay busy because
Speaker 3: they do good work. But Affordable Tree Service seven to
Speaker 3: one three six nine nine two six six three. Whether
Speaker 3: it's a consultation, whether it is pruning, deep feeding, pest
Speaker 3: is ease control, or even just stump grinding, they can
Speaker 3: do it all. And if you are going to do
Speaker 3: anything around that tree in the way of construction, for sure,
Speaker 3: for sure, before you mess with the soil or put
Speaker 3: concrete over the roots, or dig a trench or anything
Speaker 3: like that, have Affordable Tree come out, take a look
Speaker 3: and advise you, because once the damage is done, there's
Speaker 3: much less that's in your power to control than what
Speaker 3: you can do before the damage is done. All right,
Speaker 3: Affordable Tree seven to one three six nine nine two
Speaker 3: six six three. I'm gonna take a little break. We'll
Speaker 3: be right back, all right, folks, It is all right.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good day too. By the way.
Speaker 3: I hope you will enjoy it and get out there.
Speaker 3: We've got some cloudy weather coming next week, hopefully get
Speaker 3: a little bit of rain, depending on what part of
Speaker 3: the listening area you are in. Of it now, it
Speaker 3: would be a good time. If you're going to put
Speaker 3: out a fertilizer on your lawn, this would be a
Speaker 3: good time to get that down, get it watered in
Speaker 3: really well.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: There is a product from night Foss called Superturf. Super
Speaker 3: Turf lasts a long time. I was telling you about
Speaker 3: the Sweet Green that night Foss has the organic eleven percent.
Speaker 3: That's an immediate release. I can do it in small doses,
Speaker 3: but the super Turf, you put it down now and
Speaker 3: you're done. It's like months of feeding slowly gradually over time,
Speaker 3: and it works really well. If you get it down
Speaker 3: and we get a little bit of rain down on
Speaker 3: it to move it in the soil a little bit,
Speaker 3: that's good. One thing about for lightning for a rain
Speaker 3: is look at the prediction and wait until you're real close,
Speaker 3: because you know how the weather changes his mind as
Speaker 3: we get closer and the weather does what it does.
Speaker 3: Then make sure you're not going to get like two
Speaker 3: inches of rain or something a gully washer. You wouldn't
Speaker 3: want that right right after you fertilize, but a little
Speaker 3: bit of rain coming in would help save you having
Speaker 3: to water it in. If not, just watered in about
Speaker 3: half inch of water and it works real. While superturf
Speaker 3: is a silver bag, it's easy to find. It's all
Speaker 3: over the place. You're going to find it in a
Speaker 3: chanted gardens down there in Richmond Rosenberg area. Maybe you
Speaker 3: are in the Cypress area. If you've been to Langham
Speaker 3: Creek Ace Hardware. I was there just the other day
Speaker 3: FM five twenty nine on FM five twenty nine, just
Speaker 3: buying Copperfield down in Katie Katy. Ace Hardware on Pinoak
Speaker 3: another good place where you're going to find nitro fosh
Speaker 3: products like the silver bag of super turf. The the
Speaker 3: thing about our lawns that we want to remember is
Speaker 3: we want to keep them gradually growing with some vigor.
Speaker 3: And that is the key. People. You know, I always
Speaker 3: tell you that if a teaspoon is good, that doesn't
Speaker 3: mean a tablespoon is better. And certainly that's true when
Speaker 3: it comes to herticides weed killers in the lawn. You
Speaker 3: gotta be careful with that. And it's true with insecticides
Speaker 3: and fungicides as well, but it's also true with fertilizers.
Speaker 3: You know, if I saw a picture one time, I
Speaker 3: wish I could show you a picture on the radio.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll post it to Facebook. That would be a
Speaker 3: good idea. I think I'll try doing that. But it
Speaker 3: was three basically crocs of water that had nutrient in them,
Speaker 3: and they had a little like a little lid on
Speaker 3: the crock with a hole in the lid, and they
Speaker 3: stuck grass roots down through the hole. So imagine these
Speaker 3: crocks of water, and the grass was growing in the
Speaker 3: three crocs, and on the left hand side, the grass
Speaker 3: was not very green. It looked like it was really hungry.
Speaker 3: In the middle it looked good, and on the right
Speaker 3: hand side it was deep emerald green and flopping over.
Speaker 3: Those were the not enough nitrogen, the right amount of nitrogen,
Speaker 3: and the too much nitrogen. And then when they lifted
Speaker 3: the lid and you looked at the roots, the grass
Speaker 3: with not enough nitrogen had a really good root system
Speaker 3: because it was searching, hunting for nutrient. The one in
Speaker 3: the middle had a very healthy root system. The right
Speaker 3: amount of nitrogen this kind of like the story of
Speaker 3: the Goldilocks and the three bears. And then the one
Speaker 3: on the right that had so much nitrogen and had
Speaker 3: that deep emerald green flopping over fast growth rate, meaning
Speaker 3: you get to momo mo trying to keep up. It
Speaker 3: had a less root system than any of the others
Speaker 3: now in summertime, a small root system. That's not very
Speaker 3: resilient for your long grass plants. Right, So you want
Speaker 3: a good one. Middle one is the right one. That's
Speaker 3: the thing about a teaspoons good. That doesn't mean a
Speaker 3: tablespoons better. You can make your lawn greener, you can
Speaker 3: make it grow faster, but a good amount of nitrogen,
Speaker 3: like they recommend on the bag. Read the bag. It
Speaker 3: amounts to about a pound of nitrogen per thousand square
Speaker 3: feet of lawn. That gives you the prettiest lawn and
Speaker 3: the most resilient, healthy, deep rooted, drought resilient. You know,
Speaker 3: grubs to a few roots, the grass isn't gonna die.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's got a good root system. It's fine.
Speaker 3: That's what we're going for. So think about that when
Speaker 3: you fertilize. Just remember, just because you have a whole
Speaker 3: bag of fertilizer doesn't mean you need to use it
Speaker 3: all on a certain spot. Look at the rate that
Speaker 3: you need to put out, all right, I hope that
Speaker 3: makes sense. Hey, in chen It Forest one of my
Speaker 3: favorite garden centers to go to down in Richmond Rosenberg area.
Speaker 3: I love it for many reasons. Number one, the selection
Speaker 3: of plants is unbelievable. The folks that work there very
Speaker 3: friendly and help you know what they're talking about. But
Speaker 3: when you walk in, there's all beautiful shade trees and
Speaker 3: you just love wandering around in the cool of the shade,
Speaker 3: even on a good hot day. It's a nice place
Speaker 3: to go and visit. And they carry plants that thrive
Speaker 3: here in our climate. That is what they're all about.
Speaker 3: They make sure that when they carry something you're going
Speaker 3: to have success with it. They go for that. Okay,
Speaker 3: so we're talking about plants like pollinators. They really specialize
Speaker 3: in more types of butterfly, larval food sources and adult
Speaker 3: food sources, and you're going to see almost anywhere. They
Speaker 3: carry shrubs and trees that are very well adapted to area.
Speaker 3: Things like the native wax myrtle, a real wonderful southern
Speaker 3: sable makes it an excellent, excellent plant. And another thing
Speaker 3: that they do is they make sure that they take
Speaker 3: care of the brown stuff as well as the green stuff.
Speaker 3: You know, when you go home from the ingented forest,
Speaker 3: you can go home with a good organic based flower
Speaker 3: for or maybe a slow relief fertilizer for some native plants,
Speaker 3: or a lawn that you're doing. Maybe it's a compost
Speaker 3: based amendment for an herb garden you're going to put in.
Speaker 3: They know that healthy soil makes stronger plants, and so
Speaker 3: they're going to sell you the plants that are going
Speaker 3: to thrive here, tell you how to take care of them,
Speaker 3: and then provide you with that foundation that you need
Speaker 3: no matter what it is that you're going after. You're
Speaker 3: looking to bring in hummingbirds, you're looking to bring in butterflies,
Speaker 3: you're looking for a great shade tree that'll be resilient
Speaker 3: and just get more valuable over time. Enchanted Forest stunt
Speaker 3: in Richmond, Rosenberg. By the way, they're on FM twenty
Speaker 3: seven fifty nine. But what you really need to do
Speaker 3: is just write down this website Enchanted Forest Richmond, TX
Speaker 3: dot com. Enchanted Forest Richmond, t X dot com. You're
Speaker 3: listening to garden Line. I'm your host, Skip Richter seven
Speaker 3: to one three two one two KTRH. That's our number
Speaker 3: seven one three two one two fifty eight seventy four.
Speaker 3: Give me a call. We'll talk about the things that
Speaker 3: are of most interest to you. I was visiting with
Speaker 3: Ian at Nature's Way Resources that's up in Tumble Tumble,
Speaker 3: the Conroe area. If you're going up Interstate forty five
Speaker 3: from Houston to Conroe, about where fourteen eighty eight comes
Speaker 3: in from the left, before you get to the river
Speaker 3: up there on forty five, you turn right instead and
Speaker 3: go across the railroad tracks and that's Sherbrooke Circle, the
Speaker 3: first thing street you hit, and that's where Nature's Way is.
Speaker 3: And they have got every kind of product that you
Speaker 3: would need. You know, from when John Ferguson founded the
Speaker 3: place back ages ago, they have been all about creating
Speaker 3: that foundation for plants the way nature does. That's why
Speaker 3: I say Nature's Way. And Nature knows how to take
Speaker 3: organic matter and make the soul better and better year
Speaker 3: after year. And when you go to Nature's Way, you
Speaker 3: pick up products that do the same thing. You know,
Speaker 3: you can't wait eighty years for you know, a forest
Speaker 3: to slowly build your soil in the yard. You want
Speaker 3: to get there fast, and so you buy their compost.
Speaker 3: You buy their products for azalias and camellias and acid
Speaker 3: loving plants. You buy their products that are for vegetables
Speaker 3: and herbs and fruit trees and so on. They've got
Speaker 3: it all, from composts to various kinds of mulches. I
Speaker 3: just got a nice composted double ground melts that I
Speaker 3: really really like from there. But I want tell you
Speaker 3: about a deal that you need to take advantage of,
Speaker 3: and that is the fungal compost overstock sale. Now I've
Speaker 3: been talking about fungal Friday's a lot where they have
Speaker 3: a discount on Friday. This is bigger than that. Listen
Speaker 3: to this. Fungal composts, first of all, is a wood
Speaker 3: top product based compo. Not pallettes and ground up pallets
Speaker 3: and stuff like a lot of cheap junk you see
Speaker 3: on the market that they try to sell you. This
Speaker 3: is a ground hardwood type of product with other materials.
Speaker 3: But it's a it's called fungal base because that that
Speaker 3: fungus is what is able to break down wood. That
Speaker 3: that basically is what it's about. You see a bunch
Speaker 3: of wood chips and little kind of like a little
Speaker 3: white strands going through there. That's fungi. That's what they
Speaker 3: do in nature. But when you turn these products into
Speaker 3: a fungo compost, it is outstanding. I mean, you screen
Speaker 3: it down far enough and you can need to use
Speaker 3: it to top restaurer lawn if you wanted to. But
Speaker 3: fifteen dollars a cubic yard now through May. You got
Speaker 3: to pick it up in Conrod. There is no limit.
Speaker 3: So you got a friend with a truck and a
Speaker 3: trailer or something, make a deal with them, with a neighbor.
Speaker 3: I mean, let's load that thing up. Fifteen dollars a yard.
Speaker 3: That's incredible price at Nature's Way Resources. Here is the website.
Speaker 3: Write this down nature's Way Resources dot com. Nature's Way
Speaker 3: Resources dot com. You are not gonna find now. By
Speaker 3: the way, this deal is now through May the rest
Speaker 3: of May, so we're you know, there's not much time left,
Speaker 3: got about a week left in this one. But I would,
Speaker 3: if ever me, I would just say overstock at your
Speaker 3: house on it, because you are going to use this
Speaker 3: through the course of the whole year. I mean you
Speaker 3: may go in and build some beds now, but you're
Speaker 3: gonna be topping off beds. You're gonna be doing a
Speaker 3: lot of things over the course of the year. Even
Speaker 3: the top dressing I mentioned. Get you some good quality
Speaker 3: fungal compost from Nature's Way Resources for this incredible price
Speaker 3: Nature'sway Resources dot Com. All right, that was my best
Speaker 3: effort at getting you to hear that and to consider it,
Speaker 3: because there are very few things you can do for
Speaker 3: your lawn, for your garden, for your vegetables, for shrub beds,
Speaker 3: flower beds. Then start off with great, great soil, and
Speaker 3: they know how to build good soilo at Nature's Way.

Speaker 3: give me a call seven one three two one two
Speaker 3: k t r H seven to one three two one
Speaker 3: two kt r H and we will be glad to
Speaker 3: visit with you about the things that are of interest
Speaker 3: to you. When it comes to your lawn. If you've
Speaker 3: got a lawn that is not that great, you know,
Speaker 3: some parts look okay, but then some parts are kind
Speaker 3: of spin ley. They just don't want to grow. You know,
Speaker 3: you've watered and you're fertilized, you're just not getting the
Speaker 3: response that you'd like to get. It could be that
Speaker 3: your shol is compacted clay soils, which are predominant in
Speaker 3: our area here, they compact really badly when you walk
Speaker 3: on them. When they get you know, the pity pattern
Speaker 3: of a little or big feet going across them. But
Speaker 3: year around Houston dot Com knows how to fix that.
Speaker 3: When it comes to core aeration and compost stop dressing,
Speaker 3: they are specialists. Go to the website year Round Houston
Speaker 3: dot Com, contact them, have them come out and do
Speaker 3: a core aeration and a compost stop dressing and it
Speaker 3: will transform your lawn, especially areas that are compacted. I'm
Speaker 3: going to take a break and be right back. All right,
Speaker 3: we're back. Welcome back to guarden Line. Good to have
Speaker 3: you with us. Oh gosh, what do you want to
Speaker 3: talk about today? I've got a few things in mind
Speaker 3: we can do that. It is important that you take
Speaker 3: advantage of the season we're in right now to get
Speaker 3: ready for summer. And that means getting your plants in
Speaker 3: the ground as soon as you can. The sooner you
Speaker 3: get a plan in the longer, it has to get
Speaker 3: roots established before we go into those extended, very hot
Speaker 3: periods of time, and that's very important now You can
Speaker 3: plant a plant any month of the year, you know,
Speaker 3: you really can. But when you're looking at the blazing
Speaker 3: hot you know, late July, early August kind of time
Speaker 3: of the year, it's a challenge because you're trying to
Speaker 3: keep them adequately moist in the root system, and they're
Speaker 3: pumping water fast without overwatering them and making it soggy,
Speaker 3: which is bad for the plant. So it's more of
Speaker 3: a challenge. Then it's easier the sooner you get it done,
Speaker 3: and now be a good time to get out and
Speaker 3: go visit some of our great garden centers. A lot
Speaker 3: of them have some really good deals going on right now.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really amazing some of the opportunities, you know,
Speaker 3: to pick up some plants and change your change your landscape,
Speaker 3: turn it into something like you want. If you've never
Speaker 3: tried container growing, I would really encourage you to do that.
Speaker 3: Container growing. I just love it when you grow in containers.
Speaker 3: It's versatile, you know. Let me just give you one example. Geraniums.
Speaker 3: Like geraniums and the spring, stick them out in full sun.
Speaker 3: They do fine, they're happy, they're beautiful. When it starts
Speaker 3: getting hot, I moved mine to a spot where they
Speaker 3: get good morning sun but then some afternoon shade, a
Speaker 3: break from the day, and they do a lot better
Speaker 3: in that situation. So this would be a good time.
Speaker 3: Remember this is tax free weekend on lawn and garden
Speaker 3: products that are going to save on watering. But that
Speaker 3: includes a lot of things. So it includes plants and trees,
Speaker 3: you know, grasses, tropical kinds of plants. It includes soil
Speaker 3: and molten composts because soil prep saves unwatering. It includes
Speaker 3: there's a lot of other things that are related to watering,
Speaker 3: for example, So get out there and do that. A
Speaker 3: good place would be Nelson Water Garden and Nursery out
Speaker 3: there in Katy. You got to Katie turned north on
Speaker 3: Katie Fort Ben Road and you're just a little bit
Speaker 3: up the street there is Nelson Nursery and water Gardens.
Speaker 3: They of course have beautiful water garden features. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: those are gorgeous. But they've got some wonderful plants, lots
Speaker 3: of wonderful plants. And right now they're having some sales
Speaker 3: on nursery stock that's twelve ninety nine and up, so
Speaker 3: take advantage of it. You're getting not only the tax
Speaker 3: free this weekend. So that's the different scene this weekend

Speaker 3: off West Houston. All right, let's head up to Tomball
Speaker 3: now and we're going to visit with David this morning.
Speaker 3: Hello David, and welcome to garden Line. Oh, good morning.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm a regular for you.
Speaker 11: But anyway, Hey, I got some blackberries growing along my
Speaker 11: back fence and the only thing I know about blackberries
Speaker 11: is just pick them and eat them. And I've got
Speaker 11: I've got there's there.
Speaker 1: And they're producing.
Speaker 11: But I've got quite a bit of the bush that
Speaker 11: it looks healthy and it's growing good, but it's not producing.
Speaker 11: It's not producing berries.
Speaker 3: Do you know what variety it is? Off hand? Uh? No,
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, I inherited the house from
Speaker 11: my mom and dad and they were they were already there.
Speaker 3: But I mean it's gonna it's.
Speaker 11: Real tall parts of it, and it's got plenty of
Speaker 11: it looks healthy, but there's no berry all over it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it is blooming.
Speaker 11: I don't see parts of the bush is blooming. And
Speaker 11: I get plenty of berries on it, but I've got
Speaker 11: all this these other parts of it that don't.
Speaker 3: They just it just it just doesn't.
Speaker 11: It's big and it's it's probably about four feet tall,
Speaker 11: and but it's quite a bit of the bush that
Speaker 11: doesn't produce berries.
Speaker 3: M that's very strange. I don't know. There are some
Speaker 3: there are some conditions slash diseases that can affect blackberries
Speaker 3: that some of the older varieties had more susceptibility to
Speaker 3: than some of the newer ones do.
Speaker 6: H.
Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell you. You know, blackberries
Speaker 3: are coming up from shoots out of the ground. We
Speaker 3: call those canes. And you might notice, is it like
Speaker 3: one cane is producing flowers and food and the other
Speaker 3: canes are not also. But but go ahead, David and
Speaker 3: really watch and see if you notice that, Yeah, they're blooming,
Speaker 3: but they don't set the berries after they bloom, or
Speaker 3: do they not bloom at all? The one the parts
Speaker 3: that are not blooming, you know, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Parts that are not blooming are not blooming.
Speaker 11: It just it's like a it's like a bush that
Speaker 11: just came up and there's.
Speaker 3: No no, there's no blooms on it. That is so strange.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: Here, here's what here's how blackberries grow. The first year,
Speaker 3: a shoot comes up out of the ground and we
Speaker 3: call it a prima cane. That year, primo is in
Speaker 3: prime number one. First year, it goes through winter and
Speaker 3: in the process of going in late fall, late summer
Speaker 3: and fall, it's setting buds along the branches of that
Speaker 3: of that shoot. And then after they go through winter,
Speaker 3: they bloom and they fruit, and then that shoot declines
Speaker 3: and you just after it's fruited, you just cut it
Speaker 3: out at the ground. And the new shoots that are
Speaker 3: coming up that are the next year's primatecains. They're the
Speaker 3: ones that will bear fruit the following year. So if
Speaker 3: you've got a shoot that's not blooming by now, then
Speaker 3: that I don't know what happened, but it didn't set
Speaker 3: fruit last year for whatever reason. But it's that cycle
Speaker 3: that you got to look at. So I would just
Speaker 3: you know, you can tell the new shoots the primacains.
Speaker 3: They're very fleshy. You can grab the ends with your
Speaker 3: finger and pinch the tips out of them because they're
Speaker 3: so soft. The thorns aren't hard on the end there yet,
Speaker 3: and I would I would look at check.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I haven't checked that, so.
Speaker 1: I might that my own case.
Speaker 3: Yeah, last year's primacans that should have been fruiting for you.
Speaker 3: This year, they're going to be harder and kind of
Speaker 3: shrunken down just a little bit. They're not thick and
Speaker 3: fleshy like they come out of the ground. But those
Speaker 3: that are coming out of the ground, thinking bless you,
Speaker 3: when they get up to about chest high, I would
Speaker 3: pinch them off or snip the tip out of them
Speaker 3: so that they branch more and each of those branches
Speaker 3: then can carry more blooms and fruit and let's see
Speaker 3: if you can get it back in shape that way.
Speaker 3: If you want to send me a picture of some things,
Speaker 3: and you know, hold something in your hand, take a
Speaker 3: picture of it and say is this what is this?
Speaker 3: Right here? I can guide you a little bit more
Speaker 3: on it. But uh, that's what I would suggest is
Speaker 3: just watch that cycle, make sure and tip the primate
Speaker 3: canes as they come up, get some side branches on them,
Speaker 3: and the only other thing you need is lots of sunlight,
Speaker 3: you know, over the years. As a tree gets thicker
Speaker 3: and thicker and you have less light coming down on
Speaker 3: a BlackBerry, that your production is going to go down
Speaker 3: from that too. So I don't know if I am
Speaker 3: going to go snip them off, go the parts that
Speaker 3: are not growing.
Speaker 7: They're probably they're probably over six.
Speaker 3: Feet tall, okay, growing up that right? Man? Well, just
Speaker 3: just know that after two years that cane is taken
Speaker 3: out at the ground. You print them off at the
Speaker 3: ground because they're done with. They don't that those shoots
Speaker 3: don't live for four years producing each year, So that
Speaker 3: may be part of that. May be part of what
Speaker 3: you're seeing too. You may have some older canes still
Speaker 3: in there. I don't know, but that's my best shot.
Speaker 11: Well, I'm sure I have because I've never I don't
Speaker 11: pull them.
Speaker 13: I've never.
Speaker 11: I've never cut them off or taken them out of
Speaker 11: the ground or cut them back anything.
Speaker 3: All right, I do go out there and tell them
Speaker 3: I got to run every year. All righty, I got
Speaker 3: a run for a call here, But thanks for the call.
Speaker 3: Call back, send pictures. I'll be happy to help you further.
Speaker 3: As we go along through this, I'll be right back, folks.
Speaker 3: There we go, all right, rolling on the river. Hey,
Speaker 3: welcome back to the guard Line. Good to have you
Speaker 3: with us. We got plenty of things to talk about
Speaker 3: regarding gardening right now. If you would like to ask
Speaker 3: a question seven one three two one two kt r
Speaker 3: H give me a call, glad to do that. Bucknnon's
Speaker 3: Native Plants in the Heights is a place. Well, first
Speaker 3: of all, let me just I just want to ask
Speaker 3: you to do this. Will you please write down this
Speaker 3: website bu canons Plants dot com. You Cannons plants dot com.
Speaker 3: If you never go there, you at least need to
Speaker 3: be following the website because there is so much good information.
Speaker 3: And I'm tell you this. You start following the website,
Speaker 3: you start seeing the deos find out about their gardener's
Speaker 3: Redemption point program or where you can get a as
Speaker 3: you spend money, you save money, that you will start
Speaker 3: going there. When you start seeing pictures of these features
Speaker 3: of native plants that they have, Oh my gosh, you're
Speaker 3: going to start going there. Like the other day they
Speaker 3: featured inland Seots and it's a great groundcover that's it
Speaker 3: looks like little tiny oat plants sort of they grow
Speaker 3: in the shade and they fill in a nice shady area,
Speaker 3: very well, very pretty, make nice right arrangements too, by
Speaker 3: the way, but you may say I've got perfect spot
Speaker 3: for that. That's what I'm talking about. But the newsletter
Speaker 3: is incredibly helpful, incredibly useful. Follow them on social media
Speaker 3: as well. They give you two do lists, they give
Speaker 3: you educational videos and it, trust me, you will love it.
Speaker 3: It is very very informative. Now head to the Buchanans
Speaker 3: Nati Plants. Check out the new checkout building that they have.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if it's raining or if it's blazing
Speaker 3: hot sunshine outside. You can stand in the shade, you
Speaker 3: can stay out of the rain and the checkout it
Speaker 3: is really really nice. And they went through a lot
Speaker 3: last year, losing their checkout area twice in storms. That's
Speaker 3: not going to happen again now with the way they've
Speaker 3: got it set up. The houseplank greenhouse is looking as
Speaker 3: good as it ever does. I've never seen so many
Speaker 3: different kinds of beautiful indoor plants indoor and they can
Speaker 3: also be grown outdoor too, by the way, But when
Speaker 3: it comes to natives, nobody can match in the whole
Speaker 3: region Buchanans native plants. It's just an outstanding place, and
Speaker 3: I love shopping there. Buchanans Plants dot com. That's the website,
Speaker 3: buchanans Plants dot com. They'll fix you up on plants
Speaker 3: that want to grow here. They'll advise you so you
Speaker 3: can have success. That is so important with a great
Speaker 3: independent garden center like Buchenna's Native Plants is the quality
Speaker 3: of plants, the appropriate selection, the fact that they've got
Speaker 3: all the things you need to set the foundation in
Speaker 3: the soil with when you go home with your plants,
Speaker 3: go home with the products, and then the advice after
Speaker 3: the sale to help you continue to have success. All right, there,
Speaker 3: it is, that's important. Let's see, we're going to head
Speaker 3: to Missouri now and talk to Frank Clark. Frank, are
Speaker 3: you in Missouri? Are you in Texas Missouri? Or Missouri Missouri?
Speaker 2: We had to add in Missouri to Texas.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right.
Speaker 7: We actually.
Speaker 2: They actually left to Cater Illinois. It's more to get one.
Speaker 2: My wife was given a beautiful plant and a pot
Speaker 2: and she planted it in the uh extra the fence,
Speaker 2: and now it is consuming my funt in the backyard.
Speaker 2: I want to know how to get rid of it.
Speaker 2: It's called passioned mine. Uh huh, and it's beautiful, the
Speaker 2: flowers beautiful, you probably know.
Speaker 8: But it is.
Speaker 3: Yes, I can't stop it.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to get rid of it. Killing
Speaker 2: every day.
Speaker 3: Some types of plants. Uh, some types of ocean wine
Speaker 3: are really bad about that and others not so much.
Speaker 3: Uh So if you're if you're wanting to get rid
Speaker 3: of it, you know, digging it is is quite a
Speaker 3: chore because you never know where it's going to pop up.
Speaker 3: And and so you're following this underground rise on them
Speaker 3: out there trying to figure out where it's gonna pop up.
Speaker 3: What I would do?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 3: Have you heard me talk about my weed wiper before
Speaker 3: on the air? We need yes, sir? Okay, if you
Speaker 3: if you go to my website, uh, it's gardening with Skip.
Speaker 3: That's me gardening with Skip dot com. There is a
Speaker 3: publication that you can look at or download or print
Speaker 3: or whatever called Skip's Weed Wiper, and it tells you
Speaker 3: how to build one. They're really easy to build. To
Speaker 3: use a certain kind of a grabber tool like you
Speaker 3: would used to grab a jar up off a high shelf,
Speaker 3: and it has sponges attached, and then you put a
Speaker 3: product on that. There's also a publication on the website
Speaker 3: that is Herbicides for skips weed wiper. And so if
Speaker 3: you're going after a broad leaf kind of harder to
Speaker 3: control vining or weed like that, you use a product
Speaker 3: called triclope here. But that's written on the publications. You
Speaker 3: don't have to write that down while you're driving and
Speaker 3: remember it. But you put it on the sponges and
Speaker 3: everywhere the passion vine pops up, you just reach. You
Speaker 3: don't have to bend over, you just grab it with
Speaker 3: those sponges and it squeezes some of the product onto
Speaker 3: the sponge, I mean onto the leaves, and it'll translocate
Speaker 3: down and it'll kill it. You may have to do
Speaker 3: it once or twice because you're not going to get
Speaker 3: it all the first time, but it will get rid
Speaker 3: of it and you won't hurt the things around it
Speaker 3: because you're applying the product directly to the weeds of
Speaker 3: the passion, to the leaves of the passion.
Speaker 2: Bind That sounds promising. What's the website.
Speaker 3: Gardening with skip yeah? God, I'm money to skip and
Speaker 3: it's gardening with skip yeah? Or if you do skip Rick,
Speaker 3: last name's Richter skip Richter like the earthquake scale. Just
Speaker 3: do a search, you'll find it all. It's there. But
Speaker 3: the website's got a lot of good helpful stuff, So
Speaker 3: poke around on it a little bit and you'll see
Speaker 3: those kinds of things that you need.
Speaker 14: Man, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: That gives me hope.
Speaker 3: All right, keep the vehicle between the ditches and get
Speaker 3: on home. I'm trying.
Speaker 10: Thank you so much, man.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, Frank you take care alrighty Hey.
Speaker 3: Nelson plant Food has got so many great products in
Speaker 3: their turf Star line. I could do a whole show
Speaker 3: just talking about nothing but the turf Star line that
Speaker 3: they have. But they have one that is called Slow
Speaker 3: and Easy, Slow and Easy Turf Star Slow and Easy
Speaker 3: by Nelson. It is a navy blue bag. You know
Speaker 3: that bright, pretty navy blue color. That's the color that
Speaker 3: it is. It is a twenty two two ten fertilizer.
Speaker 3: And you're thinking, well, that's too much nitrogen. No, because
Speaker 3: it applies it really slow, and it does it over
Speaker 3: a long long time. It's a super long lasting. You
Speaker 3: fertilize slow and Easy. Now you're not going to be
Speaker 3: fertilizing your long again until fall. Fertilization time, it covers it.
Speaker 3: Trust me on this one. And with twenty two percent nitrogen,
Speaker 3: you're not putting out much of it. You know, a
Speaker 3: little forty pound bag's gonna cover five thousand square feet.
Speaker 3: So it goes a long way, and it really works.
Speaker 3: It's designed with several different kinds of nitrogen in it.
Speaker 3: It has some sulfur in it to help balance the
Speaker 3: soul pH uh, and it just it works.
Speaker 12: Well.
Speaker 3: You're gonna get nice even growth. You're gonna get a
Speaker 3: beautiful green grass. You're gonna get good root development because
Speaker 3: it's gradually releasing it over time. You're good to go.
Speaker 3: Nelson turf Star, slow and easy, Navy blue bag. Now's
Speaker 3: the time to get it down. Now's the time. Don't
Speaker 3: delay on that. Well, I believe I got some music
Speaker 3: coming up here, which means we're on the top of
Speaker 3: the first hour this morning. If you got some calls,
Speaker 3: let's get you on the board. Give Alejandro a call
Speaker 3: at seven one three two one two k t r
Speaker 3: H seven one three two and two ktr H. You
Speaker 3: can bear first up when we come back after the break. Uh,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be talking about some other things going on
Speaker 3: around the area that you need to know about. And
Speaker 3: then I've got a couple of little topics that I
Speaker 3: would like to visit about that I think are very timely.
Speaker 3: After spending thirty five years plus answering gardening questions, I
Speaker 3: kind of know what is gonna be the questions of
Speaker 3: the season pretty much. I'm going to head the few
Speaker 3: of those off here and come back from break. All right,
Speaker 3: gardener's welcome back. Glad to have you with us this morning.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good days starting off to be
Speaker 3: a nice, beautiful Sunday. As a matter of fact, in
Speaker 3: my yard and garden, i'd have to introduce myself if
Speaker 3: I went out there today, because it's been a while
Speaker 3: since I've had time to get out and really get
Speaker 3: some stuff done. We've done some traveling. I kind of
Speaker 3: went through a little bit of an illness and you know,
Speaker 3: just didn't feel like getting out and getting any work done.
Speaker 3: And it's waiting on me.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: He throws some rain in on a lawn. Next thing
Speaker 3: you know, it's you're trying to decide whether to mow
Speaker 3: it or bail it, because it tends to get ahead
Speaker 3: of us real fast. I'd said I'd want to give
Speaker 3: you a few tips and things when we come back,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna give you a couple of them. In fact,
Speaker 3: I may I make a little take a little flip
Speaker 3: of these and go ahead and post it to social media.
Speaker 3: I think that would be a good idea. But first
Speaker 3: of all, what do you do when it rains and
Speaker 3: you can't mow your lawn and then it gets too tall?
Speaker 3: You know, I always say return the clippings because they're
Speaker 3: so valuable. They contain nutrients, their nature's on slow release,
Speaker 3: fertilizer and all of those things. Well, when you can't
Speaker 3: mow and then you get in there, if you mow,
Speaker 3: you're left with a hayfield, all these dry grass clippings
Speaker 3: laying drying up on top of the lawn. So what
Speaker 3: you got to do is you got to collect those.
Speaker 3: You collect them, but use them as mulch. Put them
Speaker 3: as about a one inch layer around beds. You can
Speaker 3: you can mix them into the soil. If you've got
Speaker 3: a garden and you're going to rot totail or something,
Speaker 3: don't be afraid to rototil a bunch of them in.
Speaker 3: They will decompose underground and they'll release all those nutrients.
Speaker 3: The microbes will love them. It's good for the soil,
Speaker 3: so you can do that. Another thing you could do,
Speaker 3: this would be Option B, would be to mow high
Speaker 3: and then come in and mow a second time a
Speaker 3: little bit lower, and you kind of do a double mowing.
Speaker 3: I know that means going over the yard twice, but
Speaker 3: you're able to return the clippings that way, chop them
Speaker 3: up a little bit better. A good mulching mower should
Speaker 3: do a good job of it if they're not too tall.
Speaker 3: Avoid mowing the grass when it's wet, though. It just
Speaker 3: gets clumping underneath the housing of the motor or of
Speaker 3: the mower and it doesn't turn out very well. So
Speaker 3: I always avoid mowing when it's wet until it dries
Speaker 3: out to do that. But clippings are valuable, so don't
Speaker 3: let them get away from your lawn. That is part
Speaker 3: of the cycle of nature. They did a study one time.
Speaker 3: This is a separate topic here, but they did a
Speaker 3: study one time at Texas A and m UP in Dallas,
Speaker 3: and they found the turf researchers up there found that
Speaker 3: if you take the clippings and you send them to
Speaker 3: a lab and say what's in these nutrient wise, what
Speaker 3: are the nutrients? Will you find out that there's a
Speaker 3: three one two or a four to one two ratio
Speaker 3: of nutrients and the clippings, Okay, now the middle number
Speaker 3: doesn't go away. Phosphorus sticks in the soil, and you
Speaker 3: don't lose much phosphorus at all from in nature as
Speaker 3: it rains and all the different things happen. Nitrogen is
Speaker 3: very volatile. It'll wash away in certain forms of nitrogen.
Speaker 3: It'll volatilize into the air as a gas in certain
Speaker 3: forms of nitrogen, and so you always need to add nitrogen.
Speaker 3: Potassium's kind of in between the two. It can leach away,
Speaker 3: and so you do need to add it, but it's
Speaker 3: not it doesn't stick around as much as phosphorus does.
Speaker 3: But so that's what's in the clippings. And then what
Speaker 3: they did is they looked at how many times do
Speaker 3: we mow the lawn, how much clippings did we capture
Speaker 3: from a thousand square foot a lawn, let's say, and
Speaker 3: what was the nutrient content of them? And so what
Speaker 3: you end up with is how many pounds of nutrients
Speaker 3: did the lawnmower put out with clippings? So at the
Speaker 3: end of the year. What they found is the lawnmower
Speaker 3: put out more fertilizer than the fertilizer spreader. Now, you
Speaker 3: don't get one hundred percent of those nutrients back, like
Speaker 3: you when you put clippings back on the lawn. You
Speaker 3: don't get one hundred percent of the nitrogen back, but
Speaker 3: you get some of it and some other parts of it.
Speaker 3: You get a lot of it back. But think about that.
Speaker 3: You know, if you fertilize your lawn two or three
Speaker 3: times a year, maybe just to throw a couple numbers
Speaker 3: out there, and then you were to look at your lawnmower.
Speaker 3: Your lawnmowers putting out more nutrients than your fertilizer spreader
Speaker 3: is So does that mean you don't fertilize if you
Speaker 3: return clippings, No, it doesn't. You still need to fertilize
Speaker 3: because of the volatility, and you don't get anywhere near
Speaker 3: one hundred percent return of the nutrients. But doesn't it
Speaker 3: make sense to not throw away clippings. The way I
Speaker 3: like to tell people is if you bag and put
Speaker 3: your clippings in the weekly trash pickup, you are renting
Speaker 3: fertilizer because you buy a bag one of these great
Speaker 3: fertilizers I talk about. You grow grass clippings with a
Speaker 3: good portion of those nutrients. You cut those clippings off
Speaker 3: that are full of nutrients. You put them in a
Speaker 3: bag and you pay somebody to haul it away. That's
Speaker 3: called renting fertilizer. Recycle it. Do what nature does. Nobody
Speaker 3: bags the forest, nobody bags the meadows. Nature recycles naturally,
Speaker 3: and you can too in your lawn. And don't worry
Speaker 3: about clippings and thatch that just caused by overfertilizing, which
Speaker 3: creates a lot of runner growth. Runners are very slow
Speaker 3: to break down. And when you just get runners crawling
Speaker 3: over runners crawling over runners because you're watering too much
Speaker 3: and you're fertilizing too much, then you get that in
Speaker 3: a Saint Augustine lawn I'm talking about here. Clippings decompose rapidly.
Speaker 3: It's like dropping a lettuce leaf on the ground. They
Speaker 3: just rode away. They're not resistant to decomposition hardly at all.
Speaker 3: So return your clippings, fertilize moderately, water it moderately, and
Speaker 3: you be in good shape. All right, let's go Paralleland.
Speaker 3: Now we're going to talk to Beta. I believe am
Speaker 3: I saying that right?
Speaker 15: Beta, you are skip.
Speaker 3: Welcome to garden line.
Speaker 13: I just have a quick question about my cucumber plants.
Speaker 16: They have like their small, medium to small size so far,
Speaker 16: it took forever to get little tendrils, and some of
Speaker 16: them still don't.
Speaker 13: Have them, and they just are covered in yellow blooms.
Speaker 7: Okay, should should I put those back?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: No, leave them, just leave them. There are some types
Speaker 3: of cucumbers that are very short inter noted, meaning as
Speaker 3: you go down the vine, there's a leaf in a
Speaker 3: bloom not very far down the vine, compared to what
Speaker 3: we would say a standard type of cucumber. May you
Speaker 3: may have one of those. You may have one of
Speaker 3: the more compact cultivars or varieties a cucumber that could
Speaker 3: be part of it. But no, don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: You'll you'll have male and female blooms. Look carefully so
Speaker 3: you can see the difference. Female blooms have a little
Speaker 3: baby cucumber at the bottom. Male blooms don't. Uh, and
Speaker 3: just get ready to make pickles. Sounds like you're about
Speaker 3: to be in the business.
Speaker 13: I'm ready, but it's just like slow process. And the
Speaker 13: plants looks super duper healthy.
Speaker 11: They're nice and green, and okay, I just want to
Speaker 11: make sure I didn't need to pick those back or
Speaker 11: just leave them be.
Speaker 3: No leaven bee leaving be let. It'll do what it
Speaker 3: wants to do and hopefully they'll start producing for you
Speaker 3: here pretty soon. Avoid overdoing it with nitrogen. Just a
Speaker 3: moderate amount for cucumbers and you should be good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: sounds like, just bring me half of the produce so
Speaker 3: I can make pickles too, That's all I ask.
Speaker 13: Okay, all right, thank you, bye.
Speaker 3: Bye bye bye. All right, I gotta take a little
Speaker 3: break here. When I come back, Gene and Chapel Hill,
Speaker 3: you're gonna be our first up. Hey, welcome back to
Speaker 3: the guard Line. Folks. Let's talk gardening. You call seven
Speaker 3: one three two one two kt rih Listen. It is
Speaker 3: still in decent weather conditions get a little warm, but
Speaker 3: we're getting rain periodically. But the time is coming we're
Speaker 3: not going to have rain and it is going to
Speaker 3: be hotter. That's just how summers go. And tree hugger
Speaker 3: sprinklers can rescue your trees from that kind of stress. Now,
Speaker 3: if you've got a brand new tree, you put a
Speaker 3: little tree hugger sprinkler around the base, barely turn it
Speaker 3: on and water that root ball. Makes it easy to
Speaker 3: put the water right where the water needs to go.
Speaker 3: As that tree grows, you turn up the sprinkler more
Speaker 3: I mean. And they come in three sizes seven inch,
Speaker 3: eleven inch, and fifteen inch. So you may have a
Speaker 3: tree that's ten years old, fifteen years old. You put
Speaker 3: that tree hugger around the base and crank it up
Speaker 3: during a stress time and you can supplement water that
Speaker 3: tree right where the water needs to go, within the
Speaker 3: branch spread of the tree. Primarily, that's where we target
Speaker 3: our saturation zone and it works. Rosarians love the product
Speaker 3: because you can put it around rosebush and do the
Speaker 3: same thing. Take care of those plants. You're going to
Speaker 3: find them all over the place, of course. Southwest Fertilizer
Speaker 3: has them. Ace Hardware and Fullshire, the Taska Seed of
Speaker 3: the k and m As, Katie Ash Hardware, Sinkle Ranch Are.
Speaker 3: You're going to find them at D and D feed
Speaker 3: up in Tomball Spring Creek feed Center, League City feed
Speaker 3: in League City both in channed forest and in channed
Speaker 3: gardens carry them. Nelson Water Gardener and Katie RCW where
Speaker 3: fourteen excuse me where Tomball Parkway comes into beouta Warren
Speaker 3: Southern Garden and Kingwood Garden Center. Out in Kingwood the
Speaker 3: arbor gate. I's got them up there as well. Easy
Speaker 3: to find them. They work. You need to have one
Speaker 3: hanging on the shelf in the garage. You are going
Speaker 3: to use it every year. I guarantee you that TreeHugger sprinkler.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Chapel Hill. Now we're going to talk
Speaker 3: to Gene. Hello, Jean, welcome to garden Line.
Speaker 13: Hi, good morning, Thank you for taking my call. I
Speaker 13: have two somewhat unrelated questions where we are and related
Speaker 13: to each other. We've planned some small peach trees about
Speaker 13: four or five weeks ago. I actually got some. I
Speaker 13: actually got some peaches from them. I was surprised. But
Speaker 13: should I be fertilizing and when should I be fertilizing
Speaker 13: those trees?
Speaker 3: Yes, you want to fertilize when how long ago did
Speaker 3: you plant them? Did you say.
Speaker 13: About a month ago, four or five weeks ago?
Speaker 3: Okay? Yeah, so now usually I say about six weeks
Speaker 3: after planting, start fertilizing. Okay, so this is a pretty
Speaker 3: good time. I would, uh look at the diameter of
Speaker 3: the trunk, and it is probably it was less than
Speaker 3: an inch thick, right the trunk.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, one of them is close. I put three
Speaker 13: in and okay, yeah, approximately.
Speaker 3: So I would give them. I would give them a
Speaker 3: cup of lawn fertilizer. Or if you buy a tree fertilizer,
Speaker 3: that's fine, but in the absence of that, just use
Speaker 3: lawn fertilizer. Make sure it doesn't have wheat killer in it,
Speaker 3: and put a cup of it and sprinkle it in
Speaker 3: a big circle, evenly through out the circle. You know,
Speaker 3: don't pour it at the base, don't make a donut
Speaker 3: around the tree. Just just cover a circular area extending
Speaker 3: about a foot and a half from the trunk in
Speaker 3: all directions water in real good. Two months later I
Speaker 3: would do that again, and two months later this I
Speaker 3: would do that again. So that would be what are
Speaker 3: we now? We're in made? You know what, I'm going
Speaker 3: to shorten that up again. If we're going to do
Speaker 3: it now, let's do it again June, at the end
Speaker 3: of June, and then about mid August, and do the
Speaker 3: three applications of one one cup only at those times.
Speaker 3: Starting next year, we want to write this one down
Speaker 3: but look at the trunk diameter of the tree. And
Speaker 3: for every inch of trunk diameter, or you can say
Speaker 3: about a thumb with depending on your thumb, you give
Speaker 3: it one or two cups of fertilizer. So let's say
Speaker 3: that tree reaches the size where it's trunk is like
Speaker 3: a Coca Cola can. We're going to say that's about
Speaker 3: three inches across, so it would get three to six
Speaker 3: cups when you fertilize. And you can fertilize in spring
Speaker 3: and then in uh midsummer again.
Speaker 13: Okay, perfect, Okay, I will do it. Have you got
Speaker 13: time for a while? Quick question? Yes, unrelated. We had
Speaker 13: we had some dirt brought into level a little bit
Speaker 13: of our property, quite a bit of dirt, and they
Speaker 13: brought in hogwart, which bloomed prolifically in the last month
Speaker 13: or so, and it had seeds that we kind of
Speaker 13: picked them and cut them down, but a lot. Can
Speaker 13: we put pre emergent mount down and will that help
Speaker 13: with control of these things in the future.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure hogwart, I'm not sure the weed you're
Speaker 3: talking about there, huh.
Speaker 13: I looked it up. I took a picture of it
Speaker 13: and looked it up.
Speaker 1: And that's what it was.
Speaker 3: Oh I see it. Oh gosh, that was in your lawn.
Speaker 13: No, it's some still, you know, and it's real isolated.
Speaker 13: We had eighteen dump or clothes of fielder. It brought
Speaker 13: into level an area. Yeah, putting in. Yeah, and we're
Speaker 13: also going to be putting in. Okay, So can pre
Speaker 13: emergent go down now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, yes, yes you could. I would probably use a
Speaker 3: product called barricade and put it down according to the
Speaker 3: label amount. I think what you're talking about is a
Speaker 3: type of crowton, but it may have been something else.
Speaker 3: But anyway, try that not any single pre emergent kills
Speaker 3: or prevents every possible weed seed that could come up.
Speaker 3: So they have their strengths and weaknesses. But this is
Speaker 3: kind of an unusual weed in terms of it's not
Speaker 3: typically a question I get here, and so maybe that
Speaker 3: if that didn't work, we would switch you to a
Speaker 3: different one. But you know, in general, barricade is going
Speaker 3: to cover a wide range of grass and broad leaf
Speaker 3: weeds to prevent the sage from germinating. So follow the label,
Speaker 3: don't overdo it, Okay, I.
Speaker 14: Will do it.
Speaker 13: Thank you so much for your health.
Speaker 3: Hi gene, you bet Thanks for the call. I appreciate
Speaker 3: that a lot. If you haven't been down to in
Speaker 3: Chenned Gardens folks down in the Richmond Rosenberg area, you
Speaker 3: need to go in Jenny Gardens is north on the
Speaker 3: Katie Fullsher side of Richmond Rosenberg on three point fifty nine.
Speaker 3: It is an incredible garden center when you go there.
Speaker 3: I mean every time I talk to someone who went there,
Speaker 3: they're going, I didn't know it was that big and expansive.
Speaker 3: They they you know, it's just because you walk up
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh my gosh, there's stuff everywhere. Beautiful
Speaker 3: ideas too. I mean, if you just go there for ideas,
Speaker 3: it's worth the trip. But I trust me on this,
Speaker 3: and when you get there, you're gonna have to go
Speaker 3: home with some really good plants. They have everything from
Speaker 3: beautiful ornamental pottery to you know, birdhouses and windshimes and
Speaker 3: every kind of thing you can think to enhance your landscape.
Speaker 3: The gift shops awesome. It is just it's cool. They
Speaker 3: got a really nice selection of desert roses in that are.
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen a desert rose, go go go
Speaker 3: to in Chenna Garden. Say I want to see your
Speaker 3: desert roses. They are unbelievable. It's not a rose bush,
Speaker 3: it's a succulent type plant. It's a wonderful, beautiful thing,
Speaker 3: wonderful color. Just I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 7: You need to go.
Speaker 3: Today'd be a good day to get out there this
Speaker 3: afternoon and see Chended Gardens at Richmond by the way,
Speaker 3: that's also the website Enchanted Gardens Richmond dot com. Enchanted
Speaker 3: Gardens Richmond dot com. Take some friends with you. It's
Speaker 3: a wonderful outing this afternoon for a nice Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Go check it out. We're gonna now head over to
Speaker 3: Splendora and talk to Scott. Hey, Scott, welcome to garden
Speaker 3: Line here.
Speaker 9: Good morning.
Speaker 17: He question on a got a question on biochar. Okay,
Speaker 17: I'm putting in a full sized garden out in the
Speaker 17: r and I want to put the biochar in there.
Speaker 17: And I've read some articles about leading to pre charge
Speaker 17: you do, smash it up and make some nutrients stuff
Speaker 17: like that in Are you familiar with that?
Speaker 3: Well, I know what biochar is. I don't think you
Speaker 3: need to precharge it. You put the biochar out and
Speaker 3: when you apply nutrients they absorb into the biochar. It's
Speaker 3: got a lot. It's a very porous under a microscope
Speaker 3: substance that holds on to nutrients on the surfaces of
Speaker 3: the particles, and so that it is going it is
Speaker 3: going to hold on to nutrients that you put in
Speaker 3: your soil. Now, I guess if you wanted to put
Speaker 3: fertilizer and soak it into biochar. But I've never heard
Speaker 3: of anybody go into that trouble, and I can't see
Speaker 3: a reason why you would have to do it that way.
Speaker 3: I would just mix it in the soil, add the
Speaker 3: nutrients you want, and it's going to provide that extra
Speaker 3: boost for the soil. Areas where people use that, they
Speaker 3: get really good results.
Speaker 17: Okay, So just till it in and then fertilize the
Speaker 17: gardener that normally would.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it comes in outr comes to different particle sizes,
Speaker 3: like a lot of things do.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 3: And so when you put it in the ground, uh,
Speaker 3: it the larger particles actually helped create some more uh
Speaker 3: poor space down there in the in the soil as well.
Speaker 17: All Right, made my own I've got about three fifty
Speaker 17: five gallon drums or so Uh, I.
Speaker 7: Need to button it up, I guess, and smaller beats.
Speaker 17: That's basically grabbed blumber.
Speaker 12: That.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can.
Speaker 3: You could, uh yeah, you could. You could break it
Speaker 3: up a little bit more if you want to. That's
Speaker 3: that's fine. Yeah, you know, especially if you're going to
Speaker 3: use it in a container, you want a little bit
Speaker 3: smaller particle size for that. So all right, well, good luck.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you're gonna do it yourself or out there, Scott.
Speaker 17: Yeah, all right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thanks, thanks for the question. I appreciate that. That's first
Speaker 3: time anybody's ever asked me that. That is an interesting
Speaker 3: angle on a biochart question. Microlife fertilizers have been around
Speaker 3: for over thirty five years now here in the greater
Speaker 3: Houston area. Everybody knows about microlife. Everybody knows it works,
Speaker 3: it uses it because it does.
Speaker 15: It does.
Speaker 3: Right now, we're still doing lawn fertilizing through the summer. Microlife.
Speaker 3: You can put that out several times through the summer
Speaker 3: if you'd like, But you put it down follow the
Speaker 3: label rate and microbes get a hold of it and
Speaker 3: they break those nutrients in it apart or get them
Speaker 3: loose into a form that plants can take up. That's
Speaker 3: what microbes do to all organic matter in the soil,
Speaker 3: and Microlife is just another example of a product that
Speaker 3: microbes go to work on. Microlife also contains billions and
Speaker 3: billions of different kinds of beneficial microbes along with a yukka,
Speaker 3: which is a natural wedding agent from the yucca plant,
Speaker 3: and it works well. You can use it for your lawns.
Speaker 3: I use it for a lot of things, not just lawns.
Speaker 3: But the green bag, the six' two four is the
Speaker 3: standard one we think of when we think Of microlife lawn.
Speaker 3: Fertilizers Now Microlife humates. Plus that's like concentrated compost in a.
Speaker 3: Bag that's the purple, bag and you can do it
Speaker 3: at the same time you do the green. Bag just,
Speaker 3: remember whenever you're using two different products on your, lawn
Speaker 3: you apply them. Separately don't mix them together because the
Speaker 3: particle size is not the same and therefore they don't
Speaker 3: spread evenly if you mix. Them, instead put out your,
Speaker 3: fertilizer then put out your your humates, plus and you
Speaker 3: can do humans plus as many times the years you want.
Speaker 3: To each time you do, it you're just adding more
Speaker 3: of that quality humus which is what nature makes into
Speaker 3: the soil to enhance the root system and improve the
Speaker 3: condition of the soil. Itself let's head out now to
Speaker 3: a tescassita and we're going to talk To. Jim good, Morning,
Speaker 3: Jim welcome to Garden.
Speaker 1: Line thank, you. Sir, okay your front, yards good, sun full.
Speaker 1: Sun your plants need to be kept, moist the roots
Speaker 1: need to be.
Speaker 3: Wet.
Speaker 1: Okay now everybody's putting out. Compost where do you think
Speaker 1: about putting a shredded seedar on top of that? Compost
Speaker 1: and does that keep the moisture in the? Compost the two. Reasons,
Speaker 1: one the cedar is a lighter, color and number, two
Speaker 1: doesn't it shield and protect the.
Speaker 3: Compost any time that you put a mulch over the,
Speaker 3: surface it protects what's beneath it from soil compaction or from,
Speaker 3: crusting from, erosion from temperature, extremes and so those are
Speaker 3: all good. Things and so the cedar as a surface
Speaker 3: mult is fine if you want to use it for.
Speaker 3: That it will keep the soil a little, cooler so
Speaker 3: roots that are near the surface aren't going to get
Speaker 3: too hot or dry, out and so that's very. Helpful
Speaker 3: and then when you do get rains and. Things it
Speaker 3: helps prevent that crusting and erosion and. Stuff so it's.
Speaker 3: Fine any kind of a multi on the surface is
Speaker 3: going to have those same kind of characteristics if it's
Speaker 3: an organic meaning natural, product you, know, mate not rubber
Speaker 3: chips or something like.
Speaker 1: That, oka, Quick but but does it help to put
Speaker 1: the shredded cedar on top of that dot compost on
Speaker 1: top of the?
Speaker 3: Compost, well yes it does because it shades out the.
Speaker 3: Compost weed seeds that land in that compost are going
Speaker 3: to sprout and. Grow if you've got a chunky SHREDDED
Speaker 3: i say, chunky but in this case of, ceedar it's
Speaker 3: shredded junkie kind of material on. Top it shades that
Speaker 3: out and helps in that. Way if you want to
Speaker 3: go to the trouble of that second, step.
Speaker 7: Can you get better?
Speaker 1: Results you? Get do you do get better results if
Speaker 1: you do it though correct the second?
Speaker 3: Step you? Would you, Would but you would get the
Speaker 3: same results if you use shredded hardwood mulch or some
Speaker 3: other you know kind of a chunky or, larger larger
Speaker 3: particle size. Mulch so any of the above would.
Speaker 1: Work, okay thank you?
Speaker 3: Sir All, Right, Jim thanks a, lot appreciate your. Call,
Speaker 3: shure gotta gotta run to a, break. Folks i'll be right.
Speaker 3: Back welcome, Back Little Travis tripp hopping things along on
Speaker 3: A sunday. Morning Jungle land is a product that has two.
Speaker 3: Forms one of them is for. Outdoors it's called flour
Speaker 3: and vegetable planting soil jungle land distributed by. Nitrophiles and
Speaker 3: then the second form is the. Indoor it's called jungle
Speaker 3: end water savor putting. Soil what does that? Mean water,
Speaker 3: Savor it means it has crystals in it that absorb
Speaker 3: water and hold onto that. Water so even as the
Speaker 3: mix is drying, out the crystals in the mix are
Speaker 3: still holding onto. Water so your houseplants get by if
Speaker 3: you forget the water them a little, bit it kind
Speaker 3: of helps them along that. Way if both of them work,
Speaker 3: well they're. EXCELLENT a good quality mix like Jungle land
Speaker 3: is going to hold water, adequately but it's also going
Speaker 3: to drain away the excessive, moisture so you don't have this, mucky,
Speaker 3: swampy soggy mess in the. Pot it drains well and
Speaker 3: it's a good quality particle. Size it's got different sources
Speaker 3: of aged organic, matter decomposed organic. Matter it's got microies
Speaker 3: of fungi in. It it's a good. Product you're going
Speaker 3: to find jungle land in a lot of places where
Speaker 3: you buy nitrofost. Products you. Know Night fross can be
Speaker 3: found At Bearing's hardware On bissinet as well as The
Speaker 3: Bearings hardware On West, teimer The Plantation Ace hardware ON
Speaker 3: fm three point fifty nine nine In Richmond. Rosenberg they
Speaker 3: carry Jungle they carry the nitro frost products as. Well
Speaker 3: down there you are listening To. Guardline the phone number
Speaker 3: if you'd like to give me a call seven one
Speaker 3: three two to one two kt R. H let's go
Speaker 3: now To Deer park and we are going to visit
Speaker 3: With jay this. Morning, Well, jay welcome To. Guardline good.
Speaker 6: Morning thank you very.
Speaker 7: Much.
Speaker 6: Skip i've got a rose on our back patio that's
Speaker 6: in a container that we've tried a couple of them
Speaker 6: and it just doesn't never seem to do very. WELL
Speaker 6: i sent over a couple of. Pictures we thought it
Speaker 6: was some type of longus but it looks like there's
Speaker 6: some bugs on there, too and just wanted to get
Speaker 6: some direction from.
Speaker 3: You, yeah WHAT i see is damage from spider. Mites
Speaker 3: first of, all those are those leaves that look speckled
Speaker 3: where you've got the little tiny white spots all in the.
Speaker 3: Green so WHAT i would do it just a little
Speaker 3: simple rose like. THAT i would just get me a
Speaker 3: garden hose with one of those blaster sprayers on the
Speaker 3: end spray, guns and you, know squirt upward from under the,
Speaker 3: plant and just blast those leaves really, good and do
Speaker 3: that about once a week for about three. Weeks you'll
Speaker 3: get the spider mics under control probably that, way without
Speaker 3: having to go by and mix up a pray just
Speaker 3: to treat a little small container rose like. That so
Speaker 3: just blast the. Underside Sometimes i'll set my hand on
Speaker 3: top of the leaf because a blast of water makes the,
Speaker 3: leaf you, know move out of the way of the.
Speaker 3: Water it just kind of knocks it to the. Side
Speaker 3: so that way you can kind of have something behind the,
Speaker 3: leaf so you can really blast those surfaces and knock
Speaker 3: the spider mites. LOOSE i don't see signs of black.
Speaker 3: SPOT i don't see signs of powdery mildew on. THEM
Speaker 3: i can't make out what those critters are on the yellow.
Speaker 3: Rows some of them look like. Ants you know WHAT
Speaker 3: i can't too As i'm zooming. In that's ants and.
Speaker 3: Aphids ants actually drink the sugar water that aphids, produce
Speaker 3: and so the best way to think about ants and
Speaker 3: aphids is aphids are dairy cows and ants are dairy.
Speaker 3: Farmers they will literally pick an aphod, up take it
Speaker 3: up on a, plant set it down, there and raise
Speaker 3: their little herds of. Aphids they use their antenna to
Speaker 3: stroke the aphids by and it puts out a little
Speaker 3: drop of sugar water in, response and they drink. It
Speaker 3: it's just like dairy. Kettle so that's not a good.
Speaker 3: Thing the ants aren't hurting your, plants but the aphids
Speaker 3: are sucking juices and things. Out you might want to
Speaker 3: get something called insecticidal, soap and you could also use
Speaker 3: this on the spider mites, Too but insecticidal soap mixed
Speaker 3: in water and sprayed on the aphids will kill. Them
Speaker 3: it desiccates their bodies and they. Die follow the label,
Speaker 3: carefully do it early in the, morning for the sun
Speaker 3: is baking down on the plant and on the spider.
Speaker 3: Mites you just have to spray the insecticidal soap on
Speaker 3: the undersides of the foliage where the spider mites are.
Speaker 3: Hiding so if you wanted to use the soap for both,
Speaker 3: problems you could do. That thank.
Speaker 6: You you mentioned follow the, instructions but just in, general
Speaker 6: how often a frequent is that application of the.
Speaker 3: Soap it's kind of an as needed soap is not a.
Speaker 3: Poison you, know you're giving the little waxy cuticle of
Speaker 3: the insect a bath in soap and it's dissolving away
Speaker 3: some of that protective coating and they die from. Desiccation
Speaker 3: so you only kill the aphids that you give a
Speaker 3: bath and. Soap so that's why coverage is. Critical, now
Speaker 3: if you were to do it all perfectly in the first,
Speaker 3: spray you probably wouldn't have to do it. AGAIN i
Speaker 3: would USUALLY i find that if you come back about
Speaker 3: a week later on, soap two applications of soap should
Speaker 3: be enough because we're not trying to eradicate every possible
Speaker 3: insect on the planet, Here we're just trying to get
Speaker 3: the outbreak numbers down very very. Low makes. SENSE i appreciate, It, yes,
Speaker 3: sir thank you for the. Call appreciate that you got
Speaker 3: a question you'd like to ask me on guarden line
Speaker 3: well seven one three two one two, ktright that's the
Speaker 3: one that'll do.
Speaker 6: It, uh.
Speaker 3: Listen if you want to see new life to your
Speaker 3: outdoor metal, furniture you need to know about The Houston
Speaker 3: Powder coaders is in the north side Of houston Near
Speaker 3: beltway eight And Hardy Tow road back up in that.
Speaker 3: Area they do. Metal they take metal like cast, iron wrought, iron,
Speaker 3: aluminum patio furniture metal and they coat, it which is
Speaker 3: way better than painting with one OF i think that.
Speaker 3: WELL i know they have over one hundred colors that
Speaker 3: they keep in stock that you can choose. From and
Speaker 3: so maybe you've got some of, those you, know the
Speaker 3: metal that like the little waffle mesh top chairs and.
Speaker 3: Tables maybe you've got that old time chairs that had
Speaker 3: the tubular metal legs that you, know you kind of
Speaker 3: bounce on them a little. Bit they come in all
Speaker 3: the pretty primary. Colors maybe you've got something that's rusty
Speaker 3: that needs a little work on the. Rust it needs
Speaker 3: to have the you, know the bolts and the nuts
Speaker 3: and washers replaced because they're all rusting. Up Powder coaters
Speaker 3: can do. That they take it in the condition it's.
Speaker 3: In they'll take a look at it and they'll if
Speaker 3: they need a little to do a little tack weld
Speaker 3: here or, there they can do. That when they get
Speaker 3: through coding, it it is like brand. New it is.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable and this isn't just, FURNITURE i mean anything metal. Outside,
Speaker 3: uh they can do. It they know what they're. Doing
Speaker 3: they've been doing this a long time since twenty. Seventeen
Speaker 3: they lots of. Expertise they're huge. BENDS i mean they
Speaker 3: could do a whole trailer in a. Bend that bins
Speaker 3: are so. Big but they'll turn it brand. New and
Speaker 3: if you are thinking about it but you're not, sure
Speaker 3: take a picture of, furniture email it to sales At
Speaker 3: houstoncoders dot. Com sales at houstoncoders dot. Com they'll give
Speaker 3: you a quick quote if you decide to go with.
Speaker 3: It if you're in The houston, area they'll come pick it.

Speaker 3: and find nitropost products there as. Well let's set out
Speaker 3: now To tumball and we're going to talk To neil this.
Speaker 3: Morning Hello, neil welcome To. Dardenline.
Speaker 18: Hello first, OFF i like to give kudos to you
Speaker 18: and the service supervide and What guardline's been doing for.
Speaker 18: Years it's very. Helpful thank. YOU i did send an
Speaker 18: email on.
Speaker 1: A, trunk.
Speaker 18: A trunk of an elm tree that has sap. LEAKING
Speaker 18: i guess some type of. Insect can you help me?
Speaker 3: Out you, BET i looked at your emails and for
Speaker 3: those that are listening, here it is an area in
Speaker 3: the trunk that just looks. Wet it's just wet all
Speaker 3: through that, area and that is a that is a
Speaker 3: condition called slime flux or also sometimes called bacterial wet,
Speaker 3: wood and it happens in the summertime on trees from
Speaker 3: time to. Time it could be a little, wound it
Speaker 3: could be a little crack in the. Bark and the
Speaker 3: sap in a tree is. Sugary it's got carbohydrates in,
Speaker 3: it and so whenever microbes get a hold of, carbohydrates
Speaker 3: they begin to proliferate and the it creates a kind
Speaker 3: of a wound that the tree is going to have
Speaker 3: to eventually close, over kind of wall off and close,
Speaker 3: over because in the meantime it is either going to
Speaker 3: have just this, wet slimy look to, it or may
Speaker 3: have a, white frothy look to. It sometimes when it's
Speaker 3: building up under the, bark it'll actually lift the bark
Speaker 3: up away from the wood and it's. Fermenting it's basically
Speaker 3: a little insect beer, garden a beer joint on the
Speaker 3: side of the, tree because you'll see butterflies and wasps
Speaker 3: and other things sometimes begin to gather there when it's
Speaker 3: fermenting like. That that's why the white froth can. Occur
Speaker 3: so if you see that, development you know already then
Speaker 3: what's going. On it's not something that you. Treat there's
Speaker 3: not some product you put on. It you couldn't get
Speaker 3: the product to the microbes in there anyway on, it
Speaker 3: but the tree and good health will wall it off
Speaker 3: and will then begin to close that area. Over so
Speaker 3: it's not a long term problem or a. Disease it's
Speaker 3: going to take over the whole. Tree an older tree
Speaker 3: will sometimes struggle with this for seasons and seasons because
Speaker 3: it just doesn't have the level of vigor of a young.
Speaker 3: Tree your tree is, young AND i suspecting good health
Speaker 3: based on WHAT i can see in the picture of
Speaker 3: the way it's growing in the, TRUNK i think that
Speaker 3: it will be fine and not something you need even worry.
Speaker 3: About but that's what's going.
Speaker 18: On, well, okay then that's the best ANSWER i could hope.
Speaker 1: For thank.
Speaker 3: You that's. It you bet you're good to. Go appreciate
Speaker 3: to call. Though thanks for calling. Here hopefully saves you
Speaker 3: some money on time and. Product, okay you take, Care,
Speaker 3: neil all, right bye? Bye. Yeap that is? It slime
Speaker 3: flux bacterial. Wet WOULD i want to post about those?
Speaker 3: Two that would be a good. One give me a
Speaker 3: picture of. THAT Rcw nurseries is the garden center there
Speaker 3: Where Tumbo parkway comes into BELT waa AND rcw is

Speaker 3: if you wanted to, try you could try waiting until
Speaker 3: fall when the leaves fall, off and dig it. Up
Speaker 3: try to dig it out right, then but get as
Speaker 3: much of the roots as you. Can but if What
Speaker 3: i'm picturing in my mind is what is going on,
Speaker 3: THERE i don't see a good way to separate those

Speaker 3: Six we're going to go now to a Task asida
Speaker 3: and talk To. Thomas Hello, thomas good. Morning two quick.
Speaker 15: Questions wanna do you have a product called be sixty?
Speaker 3: ONE i have heard of.
Speaker 15: It it's got a huge phosphate. Number how much it's
Speaker 15: nine fifty eight? Eight how much phosphates too?
Speaker 3: Much we depends on what's already in your. Soil that's
Speaker 3: the bottom. Line that one is fine if you're trying
Speaker 3: to supplement a little bit of phosphorus around a plant
Speaker 3: that is especially needing quite a bit of. It But
Speaker 3: i'd be very careful with too much phosphorus because it
Speaker 3: causes other problems with other. Nutrients, so you, know if
Speaker 3: it's a typically for blooming, plants you know you're going
Speaker 3: to water a tomato plant, in you know with something
Speaker 3: like that to get a good root system, start you're
Speaker 3: going to put in a rose bush or some things
Speaker 3: with the bottom line is just be. Careful we've got
Speaker 3: a lot of other good fertilizers out there that have
Speaker 3: more balanced uh.
Speaker 15: Nutrient bleeding hot Suck, OKAY i was going to try
Speaker 15: it my bleeding hot a little. Bit, Okay.
Speaker 7: Okay second, question just.
Speaker 3: Don't don't do. It don't do it too many? Times,
Speaker 3: no go, ahead, okay spath.
Speaker 15: Afilium what's the best way to water those? Suck is
Speaker 15: my wife AND i you are arguing about that.
Speaker 3: Seth spaths need a good soaking and then a moderate
Speaker 3: amount of drying. Out you don't want to keep them soggy.
Speaker 3: Wet they typically are growing in areas that don't have
Speaker 3: a lot of light, anyway so the water use rates are.
Speaker 3: Lower putting them in a very chunky mix that drains
Speaker 3: exceptionally well is. Helpful we run into a lot of
Speaker 3: problems when they get in a fine, textured, wet mucky
Speaker 3: mix and uh that that tends to cause root rots
Speaker 3: and problems with.
Speaker 15: Them but, Plant, okay they're in the pot, now SO
Speaker 15: i should be better off putting it put in a different.
Speaker 3: Soil, well it depends on what they're in right. NOW
Speaker 3: i don't. Know maybe the soil you're in is just.
Speaker 3: Good but.
Speaker 15: You know it looks like set a lot of peed
Speaker 15: in it right?
Speaker 3: Now, yeah well it usually. Does just watch the watering of.
Speaker 3: It one quick way to tell is you sharpen a
Speaker 3: pencil and stick it down in the soil a couple
Speaker 3: of inches, deep two or three inches, deep and pull
Speaker 3: it out and at sharpened. Edge that would if it's
Speaker 3: got moist soil clingingto, it you don't need to. Water,
Speaker 3: also watch your. Plants baths will wilt real quickly when
Speaker 3: they get too, dry and so they'll tell you and
Speaker 3: you can also once you get used to picking the pot,
Speaker 3: up you can tell when it's dry because it's so,
Speaker 3: light very. Lightweight and just just watch. THAT i think
Speaker 3: that's the best ADVICE i can give.
Speaker 13: You on, That.
Speaker 3: Thomas all, RIGHTY i appreciate.
Speaker 15: It have a good day.
Speaker 3: Ship thank. You, Yes, sarah you too appreciate your. Call,
Speaker 3: listen if you're thinking about a, generator don't. Delay this

Speaker 3: them have. Been all, right, folks welcome Back Guard. Line
Speaker 3: good to have you back with us. Today, listen WHEN
Speaker 3: i try a patio plant this, year another one something
Speaker 3: you haven't grown. Before you get a big old, container you,
Speaker 3: know like a half whiskey barrel size or something you
Speaker 3: can grow miniature fruit, tree you, know for, example a
Speaker 3: lime or maybe a myer lemon something like. That if
Speaker 3: you are wanting, vegetables you can grow tomatoes as long
Speaker 3: as you have about ten. Gallons and, then by the,
Speaker 3: way it's late to be planted. Tomatoes Now i'm just
Speaker 3: kind of talking in. General eggplant can still be planted
Speaker 3: out by the. Way out, there you can grow, flowers
Speaker 3: all kinds of beautiful flowers in, Containers so why not try.
Speaker 3: That all you need to just get your quality mix
Speaker 3: like jungle, land flour and vegetable planting. Soil make sure
Speaker 3: your container has good drainage, holes plant, it and keep
Speaker 3: it adequately. Moist the bigger the, container the less often
Speaker 3: you have to water because there's a bigger volume of.
Speaker 3: Soil that's the bank account of moisture for that. Plant
Speaker 3: so don't make small. Containers make bigger containers and add
Speaker 3: the jungle, land and you are on your, well on
Speaker 3: your way to. Success you can get things like that
Speaker 3: At Ace hardware out On Sickle ranch On Mason. Road

Speaker 3: Way so if you got some questions or, calls feel
Speaker 3: free to give us a call at seven one three
Speaker 3: two to one two k T rh seven to, one
Speaker 3: three two to one two k t r H u
Speaker 3: if you've got some questions about your lawn or your
Speaker 3: GUARD i got a couple of items That i'm going
Speaker 3: to talk about when we come, back a couple of
Speaker 3: things THAT i think you'll be interested, in uh in
Speaker 3: the way of what are some, tips like how do
Speaker 3: you and then we'll fill in the blank from. There
Speaker 3: one thing i'd like you to think, about, though before
Speaker 3: music starts telling me to quit talking, here is vines
Speaker 3: and the fact that we don't use vines enough in our.
Speaker 3: Landscapes now we have vines that will take off and
Speaker 3: run like a kindergarten on the first day of. SCHOOL i,
Speaker 3: mean you just have to be careful with them because
Speaker 3: they're so. Aggressive we have other vines that are very,
Speaker 3: tame you. Know the blue butterfly pea is a very,
Speaker 3: tame little annual vine that we can. Plant vines are
Speaker 3: great for. Arbors if you've got an overhead, structure putting
Speaker 3: a vine on it gives you a, nice, soft natural
Speaker 3: shade that you can sit under and. Enjoy maybe it's
Speaker 3: a grape vine and you get fruit out of the
Speaker 3: deal on top of it. All or maybe it's a flowering.
Speaker 3: Rose you know, what a beautiful climbing rose. Vine that's
Speaker 3: a wonderful idea for a trellish or an. Arbor maybe
Speaker 3: it's the west side of your. House maybe you have
Speaker 3: a brick wall or that's heats up at the end
Speaker 3: of the day when the sun bakes on that. BRICK
Speaker 3: i want you to do. Something go out today at
Speaker 3: about eight o'clock a, night and go put your hand
Speaker 3: on that wall and feel how hot it is that.
Speaker 3: Brick it's like a brick. Off it absorbs the heat
Speaker 3: and then it radiates that heat outward and inward into your,
Speaker 3: house making your air condition a work. Overtime simply putting a,
Speaker 3: vine either on the wall or on a structure that's
Speaker 3: it's a trellisit SIT's out from the, wall can make
Speaker 3: a big difference in the temperature and you're electric bill as.
Speaker 3: Well vines make good. Walls someone often, SAYS i got
Speaker 3: a neighbor AND i don't want to look at fill
Speaker 3: in the blank across the, fence and they want a
Speaker 3: real quick. Cover, well we can recommend a row of,
Speaker 3: shrubs and that could work very, well but it takes.
Speaker 3: Time with a vine on something like a livestock panel
Speaker 3: that is very long lasting in the, environment doesn't just rust.
Speaker 3: Away you can put that on a post and by
Speaker 3: planning a vine on, it you can get a really
Speaker 3: quick cover screen. Easily remember that the closer you put
Speaker 3: a wall to where you, sit the taller the screen
Speaker 3: visually will. Be here's WHAT i. Mean you sitting on
Speaker 3: your patio and you look across and you got let's
Speaker 3: say you have a six foot privacy fence and there's
Speaker 3: something sticking up ten feet on the other side of the. Fence,
Speaker 3: well if you put a vine trellis right by the,
Speaker 3: fence it's gonna have to be ten feet high to
Speaker 3: block the view if you put it by where you set,
Speaker 3: something even five or six feet high will be enough
Speaker 3: because your angle of, sight your line of sight is different,
Speaker 3: There so kind of be creative and think about. That
Speaker 3: where would a vine be nice to block a? VIEW
Speaker 3: i have some vines that are fragrant flowered, vines AND

Speaker 3: we try to do here on Garden, line help you
Speaker 3: to have. Success that's the bottom. Line one of the
Speaker 3: things that is important for people to understand in success with,
Speaker 3: plants one of the foundational things is to take care
Speaker 3: of the soil and get the soil right. Now once
Speaker 3: plants are, in you can still do things to improve
Speaker 3: the nutrient content and, whatnot but it's easiest to do
Speaker 3: that as you're preparing to. Plant getting the soil worked
Speaker 3: in some organic, matter maybe expanded shale and a heavy clay,
Speaker 3: soil that will help a lot go a long. Way
Speaker 3: as a matter of, fact for, IT i tell you
Speaker 3: that the people At Heirloom soils have got you covered
Speaker 3: on all of. That Heirloom soils is a top quality
Speaker 3: purveyor of the kinds of products that create the most
Speaker 3: effective plant promoting foundation for plant growth that you can,
Speaker 3: have and that includes composts of many. Kinds they have
Speaker 3: Leap mo, composts they. Have you, know they specialize in
Speaker 3: taking organic matter and turning it into rocket fuel for,
Speaker 3: plants things that enhance your plant. Growth they do. That for,
Speaker 3: example you can buy an expanded shale from. Them expanded
Speaker 3: shell holds that clay soil open. It you put enough
Speaker 3: of it in, there it's going to create a, porous
Speaker 3: lightweight air space that will enhance plant growth in a
Speaker 3: heavy heavy massive clay. Soil they make a compost and
Speaker 3: shale mix At Heirloom soils that you can also. Use
Speaker 3: for that, compost we'll decompose a way over. Time the
Speaker 3: expanded shehale has much more of a structural integrity to
Speaker 3: hold that space. Open so it's a really good combo
Speaker 3: that they do. There just know this With Heirloom, soils
Speaker 3: whether you go to a garden center or a feed
Speaker 3: store or on a hardware store ourself as fertilizer, someplace
Speaker 3: and you buy their products by the, bag or whether
Speaker 3: you call them and have them deliver it either by
Speaker 3: a dump onto the driveway or under your, property or
Speaker 3: buy a supersack it's a qbicyard that they, deliver or
Speaker 3: if you go out there and get, it you can
Speaker 3: go out to porter and pick it up. Yourself save
Speaker 3: that transportation, costs which with any kind of bulk sold,
Speaker 3: things that's a considerable. Cost you can do it any
Speaker 3: way you. Want just do it and use their quality
Speaker 3: products because they. Work airloomsoils Dot com is the website
Speaker 3: airloomsoils Dot. Com start. There there's a great calculator by
Speaker 3: the way to tell you how much product you need to.
Speaker 3: Do whatever you're trying to do in, home your home,
Speaker 3: garden and in your home landscape as. Well always, remember
Speaker 3: when we're preparing our, soil what we're really doing is two.
Speaker 3: Things number, one we're creating a soil structure that drains,
Speaker 3: well but it holds moisture, adequately but it drains. Well
Speaker 3: and number, two we're adding nutrients that help support the
Speaker 3: plant by creating a bank account of those. Nutrients that's
Speaker 3: the one reason why azemite is so. Popular it's a
Speaker 3: trace mineral. Supplement azamite is put down in small. Amounts
Speaker 3: you don't need a lot of trace, minerals but they are.
Speaker 3: Essential plants cannot grow without trace. Minerals, okay so asimite put,
Speaker 3: down you put on your. Lawn you can do it
Speaker 3: on a regular, basis more than once a year if
Speaker 3: you want. To i'd start with the soil test to
Speaker 3: know for sure if you need it more than once
Speaker 3: a year or. Not but whatever you do putting it,
Speaker 3: down you can do it when you're, fertilize you can
Speaker 3: do it in between. Fertilizations it doesn't. Matter just include
Speaker 3: that azamite is part of your annual soil nutrient bank.
Speaker 3: Account maintenance. System and when you do all of, that
Speaker 3: whatever plants you're trying to grow is going to have better.
Speaker 3: Success that's just the way nature. Works it, works it
Speaker 3: works really. Well let's head to the west side Of
Speaker 3: houston now and we're going to visit With. Rob, Hello,
Speaker 3: Rob welcome to Garden. Line, Hey, hey how you, doing?
Speaker 20: Buddy hey you Know.
Speaker 3: Ashley I'm William.
Speaker 9: Fuel i've been going with you an email, there back and,
Speaker 9: forth AND i sent you a picture the other. DAY
Speaker 9: i was turning my malt AND i noticed this white
Speaker 9: residue underneath of. It is that SOMETHING i need to
Speaker 9: be worried?
Speaker 15: About or what is?
Speaker 9: It DO i need to get rid of my mulch
Speaker 9: and redo?
Speaker 7: It or what DO i need to do with?
Speaker 6: That?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rob i'm glad you called. That, no that's a good,
Speaker 3: question and it's what other people are going to. Have
Speaker 3: And rob sent me a picture and what you see
Speaker 3: is the, chunky woody mulch that goes on top of the.
Speaker 3: Ground but as you turn it and get kind of
Speaker 3: underneath the surface where it's, moist there's all this white.
Speaker 3: Stuff and, yeah what that is is that those are fungal. Strands.
Speaker 3: Rob and when it comes to decomposing organic, matter we
Speaker 3: have a lot of different microbial things that can do,
Speaker 3: that like bacteria and actinomy seats and other. Things when
Speaker 3: it comes to the tough stuff to break, down like,
Speaker 3: wood the lignan and wood, products that's hard to break,
Speaker 3: down but fungi can do it and they get in.
Speaker 3: There and there's a bazillion different kinds of fungi that do,
Speaker 3: this but a number of them have these white fungal,
Speaker 3: strands and all that means is nature is turning that
Speaker 3: mulch back into, soil high, quality composty. Soil so that's
Speaker 3: a good. Thing don't worry about it at. All you're
Speaker 3: good to. Go, yeah all, right, brother that's. GOOD i
Speaker 3: sure appreciate.

Speaker 3: aaron hello erin.
Speaker 1: Good, Morning.
Speaker 20: Skip thank you very much for taking my. CALL i
Speaker 20: just sent you some email pictures of some four o'clocks
Speaker 20: that's been in the same location for a number of.
Speaker 20: Years but last, year towards the end of the, SUMMER
Speaker 20: i noticed that they were getting these little white dots
Speaker 20: on their leaves and then the leaf would kind of turn,
Speaker 20: yellow and then it would just the leaf would ultimately
Speaker 20: just kind of turn the. Mush but it spread amongst
Speaker 20: all of the plants and it ultimately killed all of.
Speaker 20: Them this, year just the volunteer four o'clocks came back
Speaker 20: and they were doing good until about a week, ago
Speaker 20: And i'm starting to.
Speaker 1: See these little spots pop up.
Speaker 8: Again and you can.
Speaker 20: See on the pictures it's affected one a whole lot
Speaker 20: more than the, others but it's spreading to the others as.
Speaker 13: Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well the spots could be several different things As
Speaker 3: i'm looking at your, Pictures BUT i tell you what
Speaker 3: the elephant in the room. Is those plants have a.
Speaker 3: Virus virus gets them plants and causes malformed and that's
Speaker 3: why you see the modeling coloring of, it and that's
Speaker 3: why you see some not so naturally shaped leaves coming on.
Speaker 3: Them there is no cure for. Virus that's the bottom.
Speaker 3: Line there is no cure for. It you can't spray for.
Speaker 6: It so.
Speaker 3: What you're going to have to do is just take
Speaker 3: those particular plants and rip them, out and know that
Speaker 3: any insect that feeds on them and feeds on your
Speaker 3: healthy ones is going to transmit that, virus just like
Speaker 3: a mosquito would carry malaria from one person to. Another,
Speaker 3: okay some of the spots That i'm seeing look like
Speaker 3: a condition called edema that is from a lot of
Speaker 3: moisture in the, root a lot of moisture down. There
Speaker 3: but that's not the elephant in the. Room it's the
Speaker 3: virus that you need to be dealing. With so four
Speaker 3: o'clocks you got to dig out the tuber underground to
Speaker 3: get rid of. Them you can bring some seeds in
Speaker 3: plant new, ones but as long as you've got a
Speaker 3: virus infected four, o'clock it's like being locked in a
Speaker 3: room with a person with the. Flu you're going to
Speaker 3: get it. Too you want to get those out of.
Speaker 20: There so there is a pretty nice rosebush less than
Speaker 20: six inches away from one of these four clocks are
Speaker 20: going to spread.
Speaker 3: To not a, Problem, no, no this is a virus
Speaker 3: of four. O'clocks don't worry about. That, HEY i got to.
Speaker 3: Run i'm up against a hard break, here but good
Speaker 3: luck with. It and then thank you for the. CALL
Speaker 3: i appreciate, That. Aaron we'll be right. Back all, right,
Speaker 3: folks we're. Back welcome back To. Guardline good to have
Speaker 3: you with. Us if you are looking for a liquid
Speaker 3: plant food for your plants indoor, outdoor Micro life has
Speaker 3: got you covered with a number of quality organic. OPTIONS
Speaker 3: i like to use The. Biomatrix it is an orange.
Speaker 3: Label it is a seven to one three organic liquid
Speaker 3: fertilizer that will provide that extra boost of, nitrogen especially
Speaker 3: important for, houseplants which are mostly mostly foliage plants that
Speaker 3: were growing. Indoors you can use it outdoors. Too that
Speaker 3: is not just an indoor. Fertilizer it's just that with
Speaker 3: the boost of, nitrogen it's good for foliage. Development Microlife
Speaker 3: Ocean harvest is a blue. Label it is a four
Speaker 3: to two. Three this one is a fish based, product
Speaker 3: and SO i use it primarily outside because it has
Speaker 3: a little bit of the fish odor to. It but
Speaker 3: organic gardeners have long known that fish of motion and
Speaker 3: seaweed are key elements when it comes to folier. Feeding
Speaker 3: liquid fertilizing the plants that they have And Microlife Ocean
Speaker 3: Harvest blue label or orange. Label either one comes in a,
Speaker 3: quart comes in a, gallon and they. Work they give
Speaker 3: you good quick results and they. WORK i always have
Speaker 3: them on. Hand i've got some right now sitting. There
Speaker 3: did a little bit of work with them the other.
Speaker 3: Day wanting to get plants a little bit of boost
Speaker 3: from the folks At. Microlife go To microlifefertilizer dot com
Speaker 3: to find out more about the products they carry and
Speaker 3: all the many places where you can Find microlife products
Speaker 3: here in The Greater houston. Area we're going to go
Speaker 3: now To Walnut bend and talk To. Donna, Hello, donna
Speaker 3: welcome to Garden.
Speaker 13: Line thank.
Speaker 21: You i'm hoping you can help me with something THAT
Speaker 21: i think is called asiatic day. Lily it's a something
Speaker 21: that somebody put in my flower bed and it was
Speaker 21: really pretty and it's got a small blue, flower but
Speaker 21: it's it's, everywhere and while we do pull it, OUT
Speaker 21: i think we're to the point now where we got
Speaker 21: to have some other kind of methods for getting that
Speaker 21: stuff out of.
Speaker 7: There, OKAY i called.
Speaker 3: It's probably an asiatic, lily as opposed to a day.
Speaker 3: Lily but they're asiatic. Lilies they make some of them
Speaker 3: make little, bulbules little things on the stem that when
Speaker 3: they break off and drop on the, ground they can
Speaker 3: form a new plant. There so that may be what
Speaker 3: is causing the proliferation that you're seeing. It you, know
Speaker 3: it's a matter of digging them. Up it's a matter
Speaker 3: of putting a good thick mulch over them to try
Speaker 3: to shade the light out if it's coming from a.
Speaker 3: Seed but it's probably not coming from a, seed SO
Speaker 3: i think it'll push up through. Molts just find ANYWAY
Speaker 3: i would, say, uh you, know you can use a
Speaker 3: product that let me ask you this, first in the
Speaker 3: flower bed other than the asiatic, lilies do you have
Speaker 3: some desirable plants all around? There in and amongst all.
Speaker 21: AROUND i mean everything it, all that's all. Butterflies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well so your your option is going to be
Speaker 3: either to just be diligent and periodically go through there
Speaker 3: and when they come, up dig them. Up don't let
Speaker 3: any of them get big and produce other little bowlbills
Speaker 3: or other things that might you, know propagate it even.
Speaker 3: More or to get my weed wiper. Plans how to
Speaker 3: build one on my, website and you can put a
Speaker 3: product on the weed, wiper either a glyphosate or a
Speaker 3: triclopeer type. Product either of those is applied to the
Speaker 3: sponge of the weed, wiper and you just reach down
Speaker 3: and squeeze that sponge onto the daylily flower and you
Speaker 3: put the product only on the daylily flower that you
Speaker 3: grabbed with the sponges and uh and that doesn't hurt
Speaker 3: the other plants around, it but it translocates down and kills.
Speaker 3: Them i've got one of my weed wipers hanging on
Speaker 3: the wall in the, garage and WHENEVER i have problem
Speaker 3: weeds AND i don't want to kill plants around those,
Speaker 3: WEEDS i use the wiper to put it on. There
Speaker 3: if you go to my Website gardening With skip Dot
Speaker 3: Com gardening With skip Dot, Com skip's weedwiper is on,
Speaker 3: there as well as a list of products for use
Speaker 3: on the weed, wiper depending on the kind of weed
Speaker 3: you're going.
Speaker 21: After, okay all, RIGHT i think that plant should be
Speaker 21: put on the do not.

Speaker 23: there where there is every day and uh, huh it
Speaker 23: looked like they were snipped off with you, know, uh.
Speaker 3: Holy Cal. WELL i guess there's probably an insect that
Speaker 3: could do. THAT i don't know a particular one that you.
Speaker 3: Know it's not like everybody who grows kendlops has to
Speaker 3: deal with the little insect cutting off the. Blooms.
Speaker 23: Uh BUT i never saw a fragment of Any BUT
Speaker 23: i never saw a fragment of any of the vine
Speaker 23: that was cryppt.
Speaker 3: Off well that's a good. Question you got me on that.
Speaker 3: One so basically what your question is, this you got,
Speaker 3: blooms and you got blooms of a little kendalops on,
Speaker 3: them and you go out and they're. Gone they're not
Speaker 3: laying on then, there they're. GONE i don't know anything
Speaker 3: that just eats the blooms off of. Cantalopes there's probably
Speaker 3: something because it's happening at your. House, uh but that
Speaker 3: is a.
Speaker 23: Stumper, yeah they was in full bloom and the vines are.
Speaker 23: Gone the vines seem to look like they was clipped.
Speaker 3: Off, oh the vines are gone, Too, yes Sir, nu.
Speaker 23: Look like somebody clipped the vines. Off but but they
Speaker 23: took the vines with was not any of the vines

Speaker 3: Do you have? Deer the first TIME i ever seen
Speaker 3: anything like that in my. Life, WELL i don't know.

Speaker 3: Of they would take a section of candleop vine and
Speaker 3: clip it off and it's, gone and that's. Dear and
Speaker 3: they generally are just gonna eat the, foliage not the,
Speaker 3: vine or foul play by somebody or. SOMETHING i don't know, anything, Uh,
Speaker 3: mara never in forty years heard of anything that would
Speaker 3: just cut off a section of vine and take it,
Speaker 3: away get rid of, it right kind of?

Speaker 10: question about a Vine i'm getting ready to. PLANT i
Speaker 10: have two armies in my back. Yard one is one
Speaker 10: is for passion vine and one is for pipe, vine
Speaker 10: and and AND i love them. Both the passion vine
Speaker 10: is great for The they're actually great for, butterflies both of.
Speaker 3: Them but the passion.
Speaker 10: Vine AND i know why it's called a poppa vine
Speaker 10: because it does pop up. Everywhere so but the other
Speaker 10: DAY i bought this red trumpet vine Because i've always
Speaker 10: wanted to have. One there so, pretty And i'm going
Speaker 10: to planet by the. Fence i'm not gonna put an.
Speaker 3: Up i'm just gonna let.
Speaker 10: IT i, HAVE i have a couple of trails and
Speaker 10: then let it go on that and then go on
Speaker 10: to the wooden fence from. There but my question, IS
Speaker 10: i WAS i was considering instead of playing it in the,
Speaker 10: ground putting it in a big, pot so that that,
Speaker 10: way Maybe i've read it when it spread as much that,
Speaker 10: WAY i want to see what you thought about that
Speaker 10: idea that.
Speaker 3: Done my can't it can't. Spread it can't spread if
Speaker 3: it's not if it's in a, Pot so that's. Possible
Speaker 3: it needs to be a big. Pot those are big vigorous.
Speaker 3: Vines AND i don't, know you, know at some point
Speaker 3: you're going to have a vine that's reached as big
Speaker 3: as it's going to be able to get with the
Speaker 3: soil that sustains it in the, pot and SO i
Speaker 3: don't know how well it would. Perform i've never tried
Speaker 3: a trumpet vine in a big, pot but it would confine,
Speaker 3: it that's for. Sure you're just going to need to
Speaker 3: be able to water it regularly in order to not
Speaker 3: let it go dry and stress at the end of
Speaker 3: every day in the, summer because even a big, pot
Speaker 3: that trumpet vine is going to get big and it's
Speaker 3: gonna pump it dry pretty. Quick so that's only. Drawback
Speaker 3: but it's certainly worth giving it a.
Speaker 10: Try if you want to try, That, okay all, Right
Speaker 10: i'll give it and Get SHALL i use roy soil
Speaker 10: for that in the?
Speaker 7: Pot?
Speaker 3: YEAH i, WOULD i. WOULD i would use a ROSO
Speaker 3: i think that'd be a good one for. It i'm
Speaker 3: going to put you on, Hold, david and pretty Sure

Speaker 22: we put in you, know, soil and planted all the
Speaker 22: plants or all the plants are doing, awesome and then
Speaker 22: all of a, SUDDEN i start getting all these you,
Speaker 22: know weeds.
Speaker 15: Popping, up and, so, OKAY i asked my, dad who.
Speaker 13: Loves, you by the, way he's like a master.
Speaker 17: Gardener and he told.
Speaker 22: Me that was nut grass or nut.
Speaker 15: Set, okay apparently it's like.
Speaker 22: Super hard to get rid.
Speaker 3: Of solling it.
Speaker 15: All, yes, YEAH i.
Speaker 3: CAN i can cut to the chase on this one
Speaker 3: BECAUSE i know where we're going and here's what you
Speaker 3: got to. Do Nuts edge a pernicious. Weed it's one
Speaker 3: of the worst weeds in the, world one of the
Speaker 3: most problematic weeds in the. World you can control, it
Speaker 3: but you have to be very. Diligent And i've put
Speaker 3: a publication online on my, website which Is gardening With
Speaker 3: skip dot. Com that's the Website gardening With skip dot,
Speaker 3: com and it's Called nutsedge an In Depth, look AND
Speaker 3: i wrote it. Up it's several, pages but you need
Speaker 3: to read it and learn about that weed because you
Speaker 3: need that knowledge to know how to go about killing.
Speaker 3: It and there are products that are listed on the
Speaker 3: publication that basically a product called, sedgehammer and there's some
Speaker 3: other name brands of the same ingredient as, sedgehammer But
Speaker 3: sedgehammer two is the sedgehammer rather is the one that
Speaker 3: you're looking. FOR i also have on my website something
Speaker 3: called skip'sweed, wiper and it's a real simple little tool you,
Speaker 3: build very easy to. Build you'll see it when you
Speaker 3: look at the. Publication AND i use it in my.
Speaker 3: Flowerbeds for. NUTSEDGE i had a bed that was full
Speaker 3: of nuts. EDGE i worked at it last. Year every
Speaker 3: time it has three to five, leaves you have to
Speaker 3: wipe it again with the, product AND i got all
Speaker 3: of it but a few sprigs That i'm now taking
Speaker 3: care of this. Year so if you don't let nutsedge
Speaker 3: come up for, air you can. Win but if you,
Speaker 3: wait like if you waited until now to start on,
Speaker 3: it you have eight times the number of nutsedge tubers
Speaker 3: as you did this at the end of. Winter so
Speaker 3: that's why you have to be. Diligent and the publications
Speaker 3: and the tool that applies. It it's easy to do
Speaker 3: and you can win this. War but you got to download,
Speaker 3: those read, them and follow them. Carefully and that's the
Speaker 3: bottom line on. Nutsedge.
Speaker 7: OKAY i use Sedge, ender a product By.
Speaker 15: Bonine i've used.
Speaker 3: It Sedge ender is the same. Ingredient sedge ender is
Speaker 3: the same ingredient you need to use with Sedge, ender
Speaker 3: you need to use a surfactant with. It it makes
Speaker 3: it stick to the nutsedge leaves. Better, okay and so.
Speaker 3: Go well MAYBE i don't. KNOW i would buy a
Speaker 3: non ion extra. Factor it's a little. Bottle it's not very.
Speaker 3: Expensive but just just do that and then. Stay but
Speaker 3: read that publication because you can't just do it once
Speaker 3: or twice here and. There it's going to be you. Decide,
Speaker 3: okay this, year no nutsedge in my bed is going
Speaker 3: to get more than five leaves on it BEFORE i
Speaker 3: put this back on it. Again and you can. Win
Speaker 3: but just read. It that's WHY i made the publications
Speaker 3: because there's too much to explain fully over the.
Speaker 17: Year, sure, sure, well thank.
Speaker 21: YOU i already pulled up your website and found the article.
Speaker 17: AND i will read, it all.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah and find the weed wiper on. There find
