Maybe you're planning a new garden, 12 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.519 a new garden bed. You're looking for some flowers that'll 13 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.239 work for summer. You know, we can all kinds of questions, 14 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.959 everything from oh, orchids in the house to I don't know, 15 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.760 zz plant in the house. There's a z at least 16 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.200 on the other end, how about azielias to zz plants? 17 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.040 That ought to be the new thing? I say on there. 18 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.239 But whatever kind of planet is, we'll be happy to 19 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.359 help you with it. If it's past diseases and weeds 20 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.319 you're trying to control, we can talk about those two. 21 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.599 The main thing is, let's figure out how to make 22 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.319 gardening more fun for you, how to make your garden 23 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.079 more beautiful, your landscape more beautiful. How to make your 24 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.599 flower beds and your vegetables and your herbs and fruit 25 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.840 trees more productive. That's the goal, and then definitely have 26 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.480 fun in the process. Sometimes it just comes down to 27 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.760 the nuts and bolts, like Okay, is this tree gonna 28 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.439 make it or not? What should I do? Cut it 29 00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.799 down or leave it or whatever. But a lot of 30 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.680 time it's more about creating beauty and fun. So here's 31 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.599 a suggestion I'd have for you back this afternoon, be 32 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.919 a good day to get out and do a little 33 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.599 of this. As you drive around town, look at what 34 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.240 you see in other yards and go to neighborhoods you 35 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.000 don't usually go to, you know, just check some different 36 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.039 things out and notice what you like, just to you know, 37 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.479 is that I like that color, I like that shrub. 38 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.520 I don't know what it is. Take a picture of it. 39 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.280 You can send it to me. We'll talk on the air, 40 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:29.520 and we'll talk about what kind it is and what 41 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.400 other things might go with it. Notice the things that 42 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.800 you like. Maybe it's just one little thing. I was 43 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.800 driving by a yard the other day and they had 44 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.000 an arrangement of containers that was really pretty different size 45 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.400 and types containers. The way they had them grouped together 46 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.759 is kind of close to the front door, and it 47 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.120 just looked good, and I just thought, well, that's a 48 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.240 good idea. I like that to find things like that 49 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.919 that you might like to do at your house and 50 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.479 then begin to build something that is of interest to you. 51 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.560 That's kind of what we're aiming for. That's what we're 52 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.439 going after this morning. Of course, everybody asks questions about 53 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.319 the lawns, how to have a beautiful lawn, how to 54 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.840 keep it beautiful? Well, when it comes to summertime, the 55 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.199 primary thing your lawn is needing is some nitrogen in 56 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.319 small amounts over time, just provided little doses of nitrogen. 57 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:16.520 You know. 58 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.639 Nitrophos Folks have a product called sweet green. It is 59 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.719 not a slow release, it isn't. It releases pretty quickly. 60 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.639 Microbes get a hold of it and they love it 61 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.560 because it's got a lot of carbon chains in it, 62 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.400 and they go after it and then they release it out. 63 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.319 But you can do little small applications of sweet green 64 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.719 as often, you know, as you see fat as your 65 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.840 lawn likes and sweet greens not just for lawns, and 66 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.159 I've used it in other places as well. But it's 67 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.719 a good product, eleven percent nitrogen. It's an organic type product, 68 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:47.879 so you're going to find it in a lot of 69 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.680 places like other nitofoss products, and it makes a good 70 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.680 little quick boost. I think it's an excellent product. Plus 71 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.759 it smells really good. You're going to find it at 72 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.560 places like Chended Forest and a Richmond Rosenberg, maybe Court 73 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.360 Hardware on South Maine in Stafford, or m and D 74 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.960 Cyprus up on Luetta. Let's do this. We got an 75 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.960 early bird this morning on the phone, so we're going 76 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.000 to head to tom Ball and talk to Mel. Hello, Mel, 77 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:14.080 welcome to garden Line. 78 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.360 Hey, good morning, Skiff. 79 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:17.000 Listen. 80 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.360 I said you I sent you an email. I hope 81 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.240 my box just a few moments ago. I don't know 82 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.879 if I don't know if I went through or not 83 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:28.800 I got. 84 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.199 It, and was it how many photos? Was it just 85 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.439 one one? 86 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:32.920 There were two? 87 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:33.600 There were two. 88 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.120 One of theould probably do but two of them, Okay, 89 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.839 they look like a bomb went through them. I mean, 90 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.120 I don't know what happened, what I did wrong when 91 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.759 I planted them or what or if I didn't prune 92 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.720 them properly. But any little bit of a water gets 93 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.279 on them, A rainstorm or when my sprinkle system goes off. Man, 94 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.439 they just kind of like explode. And I know you 95 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.120 can see that all different odd shapes, and. 96 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.199 Yeah, they're basically you're talking about they and they they 97 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.600 the branches kind of open up and come apart where 98 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.959 the bush doesn't look nice and upright, that's weird. Boxwood's 99 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:12.639 a pretty stiff branched shrub. So I'm not sure what 100 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.279 was going on there, if they were growing in a 101 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.959 lot of shade or they just had them really bunched 102 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.279 close together. I think they'll be fine even you know, 103 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.920 if you wanted to, if you want to prop just 104 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.319 a little bit. And but they once they get out 105 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.040 there and get moving in the breeze and stuff, they 106 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.680 should stiffen up and be fine. This isn't a boxwood 107 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.560 ailment that that we're seeing here. But if you know, 108 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.920 if you want them a little tighter, you can always 109 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.720 trim them a little bit and get them to hedge 110 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.079 and form more shoots and and that'll that'll make them 111 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.639 a little stockier. But it just looks like the branches 112 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.480 are a little lanky for the diameter of the branch. 113 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.079 Well, what we got is we've taken like an what 114 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.839 they're called it. Anyway, we put a strap around towards 115 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:05.800 the bottom and well this yeah, yeah, so there's nothing 116 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.839 I can do, I mean trim them or we just 117 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.560 got to live. 118 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:09.879 You know. 119 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.040 Well, they will stiffen. 120 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:13.439 Uh. 121 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.519 The strap I don't think is going to help a 122 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.240 lot because it's not going to allow the movement that 123 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.360 will help those branches to get a little bit stronger 124 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.120 and stiffer. I would like, I said, I might have 125 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.600 something that, you know, just kind of holding them from 126 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.959 the ones that look like they're just flat laying over, 127 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.079 you know, it kind of lifts them up a little bit. 128 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.959 But I think maybe cutting them back by about a 129 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.120 third will help. 130 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:35.519 Uh. 131 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.279 And then as they begin to regrow and again as 132 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.360 you get wind and movement back in that along that 133 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.920 side of the house, it's gonna they should stop this 134 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.199 and and become no boxwoods. 135 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.959 I can trim them back about a third now. 136 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.519 Yeah, I would do about a third right now? 137 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:58.360 Yeah, okay, all righty squirrels too, So thank you? 138 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.279 There you go. Now is does does what water come 139 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.439 off the roof there and land on them? 140 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:05.399 No? 141 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.120 Huh no, it's just okay, good. It's just when it 142 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.040 rains or when a sprinkler system goes off. 143 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:17.639 So yeah, all right, all right, Melvi you too, thanks 144 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.079 a lot, appreciate appreciate your call.

If you're going to put 191 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.240 out a fertilizer on your lawn, this would be a 192 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.039 good time to get that down, get it watered in 193 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:42.679 really well. 194 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:43.320 Uh. 195 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.759 There is a product from night Foss called Superturf. Super 196 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.360 Turf lasts a long time. I was telling you about 197 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.399 the Sweet Green that night Foss has the organic eleven percent. 198 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.759 That's an immediate release. I can do it in small doses, 199 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.799 but the super Turf, you put it down now and 200 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:04.279 you're done. It's like months of feeding slowly gradually over time, 201 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.600 and it works really well. If you get it down 202 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:08.080 and we get a little bit of rain down on 203 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:09.519 it to move it in the soil a little bit, 204 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.120 that's good. One thing about for lightning for a rain 205 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.879 is look at the prediction and wait until you're real close, 206 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.360 because you know how the weather changes his mind as 207 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.879 we get closer and the weather does what it does. 208 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.559 Then make sure you're not going to get like two 209 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.120 inches of rain or something a gully washer. You wouldn't 210 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.159 want that right right after you fertilize, but a little 211 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:30.919 bit of rain coming in would help save you having 212 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.200 to water it in. If not, just watered in about 213 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.679 half inch of water and it works real. While superturf 214 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.000 is a silver bag, it's easy to find. It's all 215 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:39.519 over the place. You're going to find it in a 216 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.200 chanted gardens down there in Richmond Rosenberg area. Maybe you 217 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.080 are in the Cypress area. If you've been to Langham 218 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.440 Creek Ace Hardware. I was there just the other day 219 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.879 FM five twenty nine on FM five twenty nine, just 220 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.799 buying Copperfield down in Katie Katy. Ace Hardware on Pinoak 221 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.399 another good place where you're going to find nitro fosh 222 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:05.799 products like the silver bag of super turf. The the 223 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.320 thing about our lawns that we want to remember is 224 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.200 we want to keep them gradually growing with some vigor. 225 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.600 And that is the key. People. You know, I always 226 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.519 tell you that if a teaspoon is good, that doesn't 227 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.879 mean a tablespoon is better. And certainly that's true when 228 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.519 it comes to herticides weed killers in the lawn. You 229 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.159 gotta be careful with that. And it's true with insecticides 230 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.320 and fungicides as well, but it's also true with fertilizers. 231 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.759 You know, if I saw a picture one time, I 232 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.720 wish I could show you a picture on the radio. 233 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.679 Maybe I'll post it to Facebook. That would be a 234 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.159 good idea. I think I'll try doing that. But it 235 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.639 was three basically crocs of water that had nutrient in them, 236 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.759 and they had a little like a little lid on 237 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.039 the crock with a hole in the lid, and they 238 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.159 stuck grass roots down through the hole. So imagine these 239 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.600 crocks of water, and the grass was growing in the 240 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.480 three crocs, and on the left hand side, the grass 241 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.759 was not very green. It looked like it was really hungry. 242 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.759 In the middle it looked good, and on the right 243 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.679 hand side it was deep emerald green and flopping over. 244 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.519 Those were the not enough nitrogen, the right amount of nitrogen, 245 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.960 and the too much nitrogen. And then when they lifted 246 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.600 the lid and you looked at the roots, the grass 247 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.919 with not enough nitrogen had a really good root system 248 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.240 because it was searching, hunting for nutrient. The one in 249 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.000 the middle had a very healthy root system. The right 250 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:35.919 amount of nitrogen this kind of like the story of 251 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.639 the Goldilocks and the three bears. And then the one 252 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.480 on the right that had so much nitrogen and had 253 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.600 that deep emerald green flopping over fast growth rate, meaning 254 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.080 you get to momo mo trying to keep up. It 255 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.360 had a less root system than any of the others 256 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.080 now in summertime, a small root system. That's not very 257 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.200 resilient for your long grass plants. Right, So you want 258 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.600 a good one. Middle one is the right one. That's 259 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.480 the thing about a teaspoons good. That doesn't mean a 260 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.320 tablespoons better. You can make your lawn greener, you can 261 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.759 make it grow faster, but a good amount of nitrogen, 262 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.279 like they recommend on the bag. Read the bag. It 263 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.960 amounts to about a pound of nitrogen per thousand square 264 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.519 feet of lawn. That gives you the prettiest lawn and 265 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:27.879 the most resilient, healthy, deep rooted, drought resilient. You know, 266 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.320 grubs to a few roots, the grass isn't gonna die. 267 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.840 I mean, it's got a good root system. It's fine. 268 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.360 That's what we're going for. So think about that when 269 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.320 you fertilize. Just remember, just because you have a whole 270 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.480 bag of fertilizer doesn't mean you need to use it 271 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.840 all on a certain spot. Look at the rate that 272 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.639 you need to put out, all right, I hope that 273 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.000 makes sense. Hey, in chen It Forest one of my 274 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.240 favorite garden centers to go to down in Richmond Rosenberg area. 275 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.879 I love it for many reasons. Number one, the selection 276 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.240 of plants is unbelievable. The folks that work there very 277 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.320 friendly and help you know what they're talking about. But 278 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.679 when you walk in, there's all beautiful shade trees and 279 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.159 you just love wandering around in the cool of the shade, 280 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.679 even on a good hot day. It's a nice place 281 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.240 to go and visit. And they carry plants that thrive 282 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.399 here in our climate. That is what they're all about. 283 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.799 They make sure that when they carry something you're going 284 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:22.559 to have success with it. They go for that. Okay, 285 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.600 so we're talking about plants like pollinators. They really specialize 286 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.200 in more types of butterfly, larval food sources and adult 287 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.639 food sources, and you're going to see almost anywhere. They 288 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.360 carry shrubs and trees that are very well adapted to area. 289 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.600 Things like the native wax myrtle, a real wonderful southern 290 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:47.879 sable makes it an excellent, excellent plant. And another thing 291 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.799 that they do is they make sure that they take 292 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.840 care of the brown stuff as well as the green stuff. 293 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.360 You know, when you go home from the ingented forest, 294 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.679 you can go home with a good organic based flower 295 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.799 for or maybe a slow relief fertilizer for some native plants, 296 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.200 or a lawn that you're doing. Maybe it's a compost 297 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.639 based amendment for an herb garden you're going to put in. 298 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.399 They know that healthy soil makes stronger plants, and so 299 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.559 they're going to sell you the plants that are going 300 00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.519 to thrive here, tell you how to take care of them, 301 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.080 and then provide you with that foundation that you need 302 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.639 no matter what it is that you're going after.

We'll talk about the things that 314 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.000 are of most interest to you. I was visiting with 315 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:15.960 Ian at Nature's Way Resources that's up in Tumble Tumble, 316 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.039 the Conroe area. If you're going up Interstate forty five 317 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.480 from Houston to Conroe, about where fourteen eighty eight comes 318 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.200 in from the left, before you get to the river 319 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.440 up there on forty five, you turn right instead and 320 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.919 go across the railroad tracks and that's Sherbrooke Circle, the 321 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.480 first thing street you hit, and that's where Nature's Way is. 322 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.960 And they have got every kind of product that you 323 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.360 would need. You know, from when John Ferguson founded the 324 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:44.679 place back ages ago, they have been all about creating 325 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.759 that foundation for plants the way nature does. That's why 326 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.519 I say Nature's Way. And Nature knows how to take 327 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.480 organic matter and make the soul better and better year 328 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.960 after year. And when you go to Nature's Way, you 329 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.320 pick up products that do the same thing. You know, 330 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.519 you can't wait eighty years for you know, a forest 331 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.920 to slowly build your soil in the yard. You want 332 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.400 to get there fast, and so you buy their compost. 333 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.839 You buy their products for azalias and camellias and acid 334 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.079 loving plants. You buy their products that are for vegetables 335 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.079 and herbs and fruit trees and so on. They've got 336 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.000 it all, from composts to various kinds of mulches. I 337 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.960 just got a nice composted double ground melts that I 338 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.039 really really like from there. But I want tell you 339 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.640 about a deal that you need to take advantage of, 340 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.839 and that is the fungal compost overstock sale. Now I've 341 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.000 been talking about fungal Friday's a lot where they have 342 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.640 a discount on Friday. This is bigger than that. Listen 343 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.319 to this. Fungal composts, first of all, is a wood 344 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.200 top product based compo. Not pallettes and ground up pallets 345 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.279 and stuff like a lot of cheap junk you see 346 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.920 on the market that they try to sell you. This 347 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.759 is a ground hardwood type of product with other materials. 348 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:03.440 But it's a it's called fungal base because that that 349 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.279 fungus is what is able to break down wood. That 350 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.119 that basically is what it's about. You see a bunch 351 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.160 of wood chips and little kind of like a little 352 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.200 white strands going through there. That's fungi. That's what they 353 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.920 do in nature. But when you turn these products into 354 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.240 a fungo compost, it is outstanding. I mean, you screen 355 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:22.839 it down far enough and you can need to use 356 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.480 it to top restaurer lawn if you wanted to. But 357 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.039 fifteen dollars a cubic yard now through May. You got 358 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.359 to pick it up in Conrod. There is no limit. 359 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.880 So you got a friend with a truck and a 360 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.400 trailer or something, make a deal with them, with a neighbor. 361 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.400 I mean, let's load that thing up. Fifteen dollars a yard. 362 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.680 That's incredible price at Nature's Way Resources. Here is the website. 363 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:54.240 Write this down nature's Way Resources dot com. Nature's Way 364 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.519 Resources dot com. You are not gonna find now.

They just don't want to grow. You know, 391 00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.000 you've watered and you're fertilized, you're just not getting the 392 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.480 response that you'd like to get. It could be that 393 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.680 your shol is compacted clay soils, which are predominant in 394 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:28.880 our area here, they compact really badly when you walk 395 00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:31.680 on them.

I'm 403 00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.720 going to take a break and be right back. All right, 404 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.759 we're back. Welcome back to guarden Line. Good to have 405 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.079 you with us. Oh gosh, what do you want to 406 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:06.960 talk about today? I've got a few things in mind 407 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.160 we can do that. It is important that you take 408 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.200 advantage of the season we're in right now to get 409 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.240 ready for summer. And that means getting your plants in 410 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.039 the ground as soon as you can. The sooner you 411 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:22.200 get a plan in the longer, it has to get 412 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.480 roots established before we go into those extended, very hot 413 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.400 periods of time, and that's very important now You can 414 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.440 plant a plant any month of the year, you know, 415 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.799 you really can. But when you're looking at the blazing 416 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:38.640 hot you know, late July, early August kind of time 417 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.200 of the year, it's a challenge because you're trying to 418 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.400 keep them adequately moist in the root system, and they're 419 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:49.440 pumping water fast without overwatering them and making it soggy, 420 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.880 which is bad for the plant. So it's more of 421 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.039 a challenge. Then it's easier the sooner you get it done, 422 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.839 and now be a good time to get out and 423 00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.480 go visit some of our great garden centers. A lot 424 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:01.839 of them have some really good deals going on right now. 425 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:05.680 I mean, it's really amazing some of the opportunities, you know, 426 00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:09.960 to pick up some plants and change your change your landscape, 427 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.440 turn it into something like you want. If you've never 428 00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:16.480 tried container growing, I would really encourage you to do that. 429 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.200 Container growing. I just love it when you grow in containers. 430 00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:25.319 It's versatile, you know. Let me just give you one example. Geraniums. 431 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.000 Like geraniums and the spring, stick them out in full sun. 432 00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.039 They do fine, they're happy, they're beautiful. When it starts 433 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.839 getting hot, I moved mine to a spot where they 434 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.720 get good morning sun but then some afternoon shade, a 435 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:39.640 break from the day, and they do a lot better 436 00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.519 in that situation. So this would be a good time. 437 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:46.720 Remember this is tax free weekend on lawn and garden 438 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.799 products that are going to save on watering. But that 439 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.079 includes a lot of things. So it includes plants and trees, 440 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.519 you know, grasses, tropical kinds of plants. It includes soil 441 00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.960 and molten composts because soil prep saves unwatering. It includes 442 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.759 there's a lot of other things that are related to watering, 443 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.039 for example, So get out there and do that. A 444 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:10.799 good place would be Nelson Water Garden and Nursery out 445 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:14.039 there in Katy.

I don't know. There are some 525 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.960 there are some conditions slash diseases that can affect blackberries 526 00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.000 that some of the older varieties had more susceptibility to 527 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:44.480 than some of the newer ones do. 528 00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:46.359 H. 529 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.519 I don't know what to tell you.

The first year, 545 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:35.680 a shoot comes up out of the ground and we 546 00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.359 call it a prima cane. That year, primo is in 547 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.359 prime number one. First year, it goes through winter and 548 00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.680 in the process of going in late fall, late summer 549 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.160 and fall, it's setting buds along the branches of that 550 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:54.359 of that shoot. And then after they go through winter, 551 00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:57.920 they bloom and they fruit, and then that shoot declines 552 00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:00.359 and you just after it's fruited, you just cut it 553 00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:02.839 out at the ground. And the new shoots that are 554 00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:06.200 coming up that are the next year's primatecains. They're the 555 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:09.400 ones that will bear fruit the following year. So if 556 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:13.200 you've got a shoot that's not blooming by now, then 557 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.400 that I don't know what happened, but it didn't set 558 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:21.440 fruit last year for whatever reason. But it's that cycle 559 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.079 that you got to look at. So I would just 560 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.240 you know, you can tell the new shoots the primacains. 561 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.000 They're very fleshy. You can grab the ends with your 562 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.119 finger and pinch the tips out of them because they're 563 00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.720 so soft. The thorns aren't hard on the end there yet, 564 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.240 and I would I would look at check. 565 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:42.240 Yeah, I haven't checked that, so. 566 00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:43.880 I might that my own case. 567 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.880 Yeah, last year's primacans that should have been fruiting for you. 568 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:53.200 This year, they're going to be harder and kind of 569 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:55.680 shrunken down just a little bit. They're not thick and 570 00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:58.680 fleshy like they come out of the ground. But those 571 00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:00.359 that are coming out of the ground, thinking bless you, 572 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:02.039 when they get up to about chest high, I would 573 00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.240 pinch them off or snip the tip out of them 574 00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:07.240 so that they branch more and each of those branches 575 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:09.720 then can carry more blooms and fruit and let's see 576 00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:11.359 if you can get it back in shape that way. 577 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.359 If you want to send me a picture of some things, 578 00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:15.480 and you know, hold something in your hand, take a 579 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:17.759 picture of it and say is this what is this? 580 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.799 Right here? I can guide you a little bit more 581 00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:23.599 on it. But uh, that's what I would suggest is 582 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:26.880 just watch that cycle, make sure and tip the primate 583 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:29.519 canes as they come up, get some side branches on them, 584 00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:32.079 and the only other thing you need is lots of sunlight, 585 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.359 you know, over the years. As a tree gets thicker 586 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:38.359 and thicker and you have less light coming down on 587 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:40.680 a BlackBerry, that your production is going to go down 588 00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:42.400 from that too. So I don't know if I am 589 00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:44.440 going to go snip them off, go the parts that 590 00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:45.160 are not growing. 591 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.359 They're probably they're probably over six. 592 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.759 Feet tall, okay, growing up that right? Man? Well, just 593 00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.279 just know that after two years that cane is taken 594 00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:57.160 out at the ground. You print them off at the 595 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:01.720 ground because they're done with. They don't that those shoots 596 00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:04.680 don't live for four years producing each year, So that 597 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:06.720 may be part of that. May be part of what 598 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.200 you're seeing too. You may have some older canes still 599 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:11.200 in there. I don't know, but that's my best shot. 600 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.119 Well, I'm sure I have because I've never I don't 601 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:15.519 pull them. 602 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:16.000 I've never. 603 00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.279 I've never cut them off or taken them out of 604 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:19.880 the ground or cut them back anything. 605 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:22.480 All right, I do go out there and tell them 606 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.519 I got to run every year.

When you start seeing pictures of these features 627 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.759 of native plants that they have, Oh my gosh, you're 628 00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:35.559 going to start going there. Like the other day they 629 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:40.559 featured inland Seots and it's a great groundcover that's it 630 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.240 looks like little tiny oat plants sort of they grow 631 00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:46.759 in the shade and they fill in a nice shady area, 632 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.680 very well, very pretty, make nice right arrangements too, by 633 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.960 the way, but you may say I've got perfect spot 634 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.200 for that. That's what I'm talking about. But the newsletter 635 00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:59.920 is incredibly helpful, incredibly useful. Follow them on social media 636 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.839 as well. They give you two do lists, they give 637 00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:08.759 you educational videos and it, trust me, you will love it. 638 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.359 It is very very informative. Now head to the Buchanans 639 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.160 Nati Plants. Check out the new checkout building that they have. 640 00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:18.640 It doesn't matter if it's raining or if it's blazing 641 00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:21.680 hot sunshine outside.

And they went through a lot 644 00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:30.079 last year, losing their checkout area twice in storms. That's 645 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.000 not going to happen again now with the way they've 646 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.200 got it set up. The houseplank greenhouse is looking as 647 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.759 good as it ever does. I've never seen so many 648 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.839 different kinds of beautiful indoor plants indoor and they can 649 00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:45.200 also be grown outdoor too, by the way, But when 650 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.599 it comes to natives, nobody can match in the whole 651 00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:51.480 region Buchanans native plants.

Killing 678 00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:20.480 every day. 679 00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:25.159 Some types of plants. Uh, some types of ocean wine 680 00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:27.920 are really bad about that and others not so much. 681 00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.280 Uh So if you're if you're wanting to get rid 682 00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.159 of it, you know, digging it is is quite a 683 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:36.320 chore because you never know where it's going to pop up. 684 00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:39.840 And and so you're following this underground rise on them 685 00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:42.119 out there trying to figure out where it's gonna pop up. 686 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:43.159 What I would do? 687 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:43.639 Uh? 688 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.440 Have you heard me talk about my weed wiper before 689 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:52.320 on the air? We need yes, sir? Okay, if you 690 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:56.719 if you go to my website, uh, it's gardening with Skip. 691 00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:01.039 That's me gardening with Skip dot com. There is a 692 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:03.920 publication that you can look at or download or print 693 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.960 or whatever called Skip's Weed Wiper, and it tells you 694 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:08.760 how to build one. They're really easy to build. To 695 00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:11.119 use a certain kind of a grabber tool like you 696 00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:13.280 would used to grab a jar up off a high shelf, 697 00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.760 and it has sponges attached, and then you put a 698 00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.280 product on that. There's also a publication on the website 699 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.960 that is Herbicides for skips weed wiper. And so if 700 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:28.800 you're going after a broad leaf kind of harder to 701 00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:31.760 control vining or weed like that, you use a product 702 00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.639 called triclope here. But that's written on the publications. You 703 00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:36.480 don't have to write that down while you're driving and 704 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.800 remember it. But you put it on the sponges and 705 00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.800 everywhere the passion vine pops up, you just reach. You 706 00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.159 don't have to bend over, you just grab it with 707 00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:49.079 those sponges and it squeezes some of the product onto 708 00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:53.079 the sponge, I mean onto the leaves, and it'll translocate 709 00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:54.920 down and it'll kill it. You may have to do 710 00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.920 it once or twice because you're not going to get 711 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:00.199 it all the first time, but it will get rid 712 00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.119 of it and you won't hurt the things around it 713 00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:05.320 because you're applying the product directly to the weeds of 714 00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:08.239 the passion, to the leaves of the passion. 715 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.360 Bind That sounds promising.

I could do a whole show 731 00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.599 just talking about nothing but the turf Star line that 732 00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:06.480 they have. But they have one that is called Slow 733 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.360 and Easy, Slow and Easy Turf Star Slow and Easy 734 00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:13.480 by Nelson. It is a navy blue bag. You know 735 00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:17.000 that bright, pretty navy blue color. That's the color that 736 00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:21.000 it is. It is a twenty two two ten fertilizer. 737 00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.960 And you're thinking, well, that's too much nitrogen. No, because 738 00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:29.480 it applies it really slow, and it does it over 739 00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:33.239 a long long time. It's a super long lasting. You 740 00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:35.719 fertilize slow and Easy. Now you're not going to be 741 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:40.000 fertilizing your long again until fall. Fertilization time, it covers it. 742 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.800 Trust me on this one. And with twenty two percent nitrogen, 743 00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:45.960 you're not putting out much of it. You know, a 744 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:49.400 little forty pound bag's gonna cover five thousand square feet. 745 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.360 So it goes a long way, and it really works. 746 00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:56.519 It's designed with several different kinds of nitrogen in it. 747 00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.639 It has some sulfur in it to help balance the 748 00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.800 soul pH uh, and it just it works. 749 00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:03.039 Well. 750 00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:05.639 You're gonna get nice even growth. You're gonna get a 751 00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:09.639 beautiful green grass. You're gonna get good root development because 752 00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:12.400 it's gradually releasing it over time. You're good to go. 753 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:17.599 Nelson turf Star, slow and easy, Navy blue bag. Now's 754 00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:21.599 the time to get it down. Now's the time. Don't 755 00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:25.480 delay on that. Well, I believe I got some music 756 00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:27.719 coming up here, which means we're on the top of 757 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.599 the first hour this morning. If you got some calls, 758 00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:33.840 let's get you on the board. Give Alejandro a call 759 00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:37.840 at seven one three two one two k t r 760 00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.119 H seven one three two and two ktr H. You 761 00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:43.719 can bear first up when we come back after the break. Uh, 762 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.199 I'm gonna be talking about some other things going on 763 00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:48.679 around the area that you need to know about. And 764 00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:50.679 then I've got a couple of little topics that I 765 00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.880 would like to visit about that I think are very timely. 766 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:57.320 After spending thirty five years plus answering gardening questions, I 767 00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:59.840 kind of know what is gonna be the questions of 768 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:02.239 the season pretty much. I'm going to head the few 769 00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:09.920 of those off here and come back from break. All right, 770 00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.000 gardener's welcome back. Glad to have you with us this morning. 771 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.119 It's gonna be a good days starting off to be 772 00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:23.920 a nice, beautiful Sunday. As a matter of fact, in 773 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:27.280 my yard and garden, i'd have to introduce myself if 774 00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:31.679 I went out there today, because it's been a while 775 00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:33.559 since I've had time to get out and really get 776 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:35.679 some stuff done. We've done some traveling. I kind of 777 00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:38.840 went through a little bit of an illness and you know, 778 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:41.480 just didn't feel like getting out and getting any work done. 779 00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:42.920 And it's waiting on me. 780 00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:43.599 You know. 781 00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:46.199 He throws some rain in on a lawn. Next thing 782 00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:49.039 you know, it's you're trying to decide whether to mow 783 00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.079 it or bail it, because it tends to get ahead 784 00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:53.400 of us real fast. I'd said I'd want to give 785 00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:55.239 you a few tips and things when we come back, 786 00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.000 and I'm gonna give you a couple of them. In fact, 787 00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.320 I may I make a little take a little flip 788 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.599 of these and go ahead and post it to social media. 789 00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:09.519 I think that would be a good idea. But first 790 00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:11.880 of all, what do you do when it rains and 791 00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:14.079 you can't mow your lawn and then it gets too tall? 792 00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.400 You know, I always say return the clippings because they're 793 00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:19.599 so valuable. They contain nutrients, their nature's on slow release, 794 00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.360 fertilizer and all of those things. Well, when you can't 795 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:25.159 mow and then you get in there, if you mow, 796 00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.199 you're left with a hayfield, all these dry grass clippings 797 00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.599 laying drying up on top of the lawn. So what 798 00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:32.239 you got to do is you got to collect those. 799 00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:34.719 You collect them, but use them as mulch. Put them 800 00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.320 as about a one inch layer around beds. You can 801 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.199 you can mix them into the soil. If you've got 802 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:41.320 a garden and you're going to rot totail or something, 803 00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:44.119 don't be afraid to rototil a bunch of them in. 804 00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.880 They will decompose underground and they'll release all those nutrients. 805 00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.679 The microbes will love them. It's good for the soil, 806 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.880 so you can do that. Another thing you could do, 807 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.440 this would be Option B, would be to mow high 808 00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.960 and then come in and mow a second time a 809 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:03.679 little bit lower, and you kind of do a double mowing. 810 00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:06.039 I know that means going over the yard twice, but 811 00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:08.360 you're able to return the clippings that way, chop them 812 00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:10.599 up a little bit better. A good mulching mower should 813 00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:12.400 do a good job of it if they're not too tall. 814 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.119 Avoid mowing the grass when it's wet, though. It just 815 00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.480 gets clumping underneath the housing of the motor or of 816 00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:22.159 the mower and it doesn't turn out very well. So 817 00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:24.960 I always avoid mowing when it's wet until it dries 818 00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:29.079 out to do that. But clippings are valuable, so don't 819 00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:34.400 let them get away from your lawn. That is part 820 00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:36.920 of the cycle of nature. They did a study one time. 821 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:39.400 This is a separate topic here, but they did a 822 00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.840 study one time at Texas A and m UP in Dallas, 823 00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:46.519 and they found the turf researchers up there found that 824 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:50.039 if you take the clippings and you send them to 825 00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.920 a lab and say what's in these nutrient wise, what 826 00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.920 are the nutrients? Will you find out that there's a 827 00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:57.239 three one two or a four to one two ratio 828 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:01.320 of nutrients and the clippings, Okay, now the middle number 829 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:05.199 doesn't go away. Phosphorus sticks in the soil, and you 830 00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:11.760 don't lose much phosphorus at all from in nature as 831 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.199 it rains and all the different things happen. Nitrogen is 832 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.480 very volatile. It'll wash away in certain forms of nitrogen. 833 00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:23.000 It'll volatilize into the air as a gas in certain 834 00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:26.559 forms of nitrogen, and so you always need to add nitrogen. 835 00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:30.760 Potassium's kind of in between the two. It can leach away, 836 00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:33.400 and so you do need to add it, but it's 837 00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.199 not it doesn't stick around as much as phosphorus does. 838 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.639 But so that's what's in the clippings. And then what 839 00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:41.440 they did is they looked at how many times do 840 00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:45.960 we mow the lawn, how much clippings did we capture 841 00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:49.320 from a thousand square foot a lawn, let's say, and 842 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:51.760 what was the nutrient content of them? And so what 843 00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:54.360 you end up with is how many pounds of nutrients 844 00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:59.559 did the lawnmower put out with clippings? So at the 845 00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:02.480 end of the year. What they found is the lawnmower 846 00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:07.039 put out more fertilizer than the fertilizer spreader. Now, you 847 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:09.840 don't get one hundred percent of those nutrients back, like 848 00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:12.360 you when you put clippings back on the lawn. You 849 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:14.599 don't get one hundred percent of the nitrogen back, but 850 00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:17.159 you get some of it and some other parts of it. 851 00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:21.159 You get a lot of it back. But think about that. 852 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:24.039 You know, if you fertilize your lawn two or three 853 00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:27.000 times a year, maybe just to throw a couple numbers 854 00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.199 out there, and then you were to look at your lawnmower. 855 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:33.480 Your lawnmowers putting out more nutrients than your fertilizer spreader 856 00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:35.599 is So does that mean you don't fertilize if you 857 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.480 return clippings, No, it doesn't. You still need to fertilize 858 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:41.239 because of the volatility, and you don't get anywhere near 859 00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:44.920 one hundred percent return of the nutrients. But doesn't it 860 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:47.760 make sense to not throw away clippings. The way I 861 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:52.960 like to tell people is if you bag and put 862 00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:57.360 your clippings in the weekly trash pickup, you are renting 863 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.519 fertilizer because you buy a bag one of these great 864 00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.119 fertilizers I talk about. You grow grass clippings with a 865 00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:07.079 good portion of those nutrients. You cut those clippings off 866 00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:08.960 that are full of nutrients. You put them in a 867 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.559 bag and you pay somebody to haul it away. That's 868 00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:16.639 called renting fertilizer. Recycle it. Do what nature does. Nobody 869 00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:21.440 bags the forest, nobody bags the meadows. Nature recycles naturally, 870 00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:24.039 and you can too in your lawn. And don't worry 871 00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:28.440 about clippings and thatch that just caused by overfertilizing, which 872 00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:31.440 creates a lot of runner growth. Runners are very slow 873 00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:34.639 to break down. And when you just get runners crawling 874 00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:37.519 over runners crawling over runners because you're watering too much 875 00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:40.639 and you're fertilizing too much, then you get that in 876 00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:46.360 a Saint Augustine lawn I'm talking about here. Clippings decompose rapidly. 877 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:48.840 It's like dropping a lettuce leaf on the ground. They 878 00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:52.800 just rode away. They're not resistant to decomposition hardly at all. 879 00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:57.760 So return your clippings, fertilize moderately, water it moderately, and 880 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.480 you be in good shape. All right, let's go Paralleland. 881 00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:02.639 Now we're going to talk to Beta. I believe am 882 00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:03.400 I saying that right? 883 00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:05.840 Beta, you are skip. 884 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:08.760 Welcome to garden line. 885 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:13.599 I just have a quick question about my cucumber plants. 886 00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:20.039 They have like their small, medium to small size so far, 887 00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.440 it took forever to get little tendrils, and some of 888 00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:24.400 them still don't. 889 00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:28.639 Have them, and they just are covered in yellow blooms. 890 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.599 Okay, should should I put those back? 891 00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:35.440 No? 892 00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.280 No, leave them, just leave them. There are some types 893 00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:42.360 of cucumbers that are very short inter noted, meaning as 894 00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:44.599 you go down the vine, there's a leaf in a 895 00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.719 bloom not very far down the vine, compared to what 896 00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:50.440 we would say a standard type of cucumber. May you 897 00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:52.159 may have one of those. You may have one of 898 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:56.280 the more compact cultivars or varieties a cucumber that could 899 00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:58.800 be part of it. But no, don't worry about it. 900 00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.320 You'll you'll have male and female blooms. Look carefully so 901 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:04.360 you can see the difference. Female blooms have a little 902 00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:08.000 baby cucumber at the bottom. Male blooms don't. Uh, and 903 00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:11.360 just get ready to make pickles. Sounds like you're about 904 00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:12.199 to be in the business. 905 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.800 I'm ready, but it's just like slow process. And the 906 00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:18.559 plants looks super duper healthy. 907 00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:22.599 They're nice and green, and okay, I just want to 908 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.800 make sure I didn't need to pick those back or 909 00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:25.760 just leave them be. 910 00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:29.719 No leaven bee leaving be let. It'll do what it 911 00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.559 wants to do and hopefully they'll start producing for you 912 00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:35.400 here pretty soon. Avoid overdoing it with nitrogen. Just a 913 00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:39.000 moderate amount for cucumbers and you should be good. Yeah, 914 00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:42.199 sounds like, just bring me half of the produce so 915 00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:44.480 I can make pickles too, That's all I ask. 916 00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:48.360 Okay, all right, thank you, bye. 917 00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:51.199 Bye bye bye. All right, I gotta take a little 918 00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:53.480 break here. When I come back, Gene and Chapel Hill, 919 00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:56.000 you're gonna be our first up. Hey, welcome back to 920 00:47:56.000 --> 00:48:00.599 the guard Line. Folks. Let's talk gardening. You call seven 921 00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:04.440 one three two one two kt rih Listen. It is 922 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:08.239 still in decent weather conditions get a little warm, but 923 00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:11.840 we're getting rain periodically. But the time is coming we're 924 00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:13.519 not going to have rain and it is going to 925 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.440 be hotter. That's just how summers go. And tree hugger 926 00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:20.920 sprinklers can rescue your trees from that kind of stress. Now, 927 00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.320 if you've got a brand new tree, you put a 928 00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:26.000 little tree hugger sprinkler around the base, barely turn it 929 00:48:26.079 --> 00:48:28.199 on and water that root ball. Makes it easy to 930 00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:30.519 put the water right where the water needs to go. 931 00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:33.559 As that tree grows, you turn up the sprinkler more 932 00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:36.199 I mean. And they come in three sizes seven inch, 933 00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:39.159 eleven inch, and fifteen inch. So you may have a 934 00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:42.599 tree that's ten years old, fifteen years old. You put 935 00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.079 that tree hugger around the base and crank it up 936 00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:48.239 during a stress time and you can supplement water that 937 00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:51.039 tree right where the water needs to go, within the 938 00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:53.960 branch spread of the tree. Primarily, that's where we target 939 00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:57.840 our saturation zone and it works. Rosarians love the product 940 00:48:57.920 --> 00:48:59.639 because you can put it around rosebush and do the 941 00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.360 same thing. Take care of those plants. You're going to 942 00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:05.000 find them all over the place, of course. Southwest Fertilizer 943 00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:08.039 has them. Ace Hardware and Fullshire, the Taska Seed of 944 00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:11.559 the k and m As, Katie Ash Hardware, Sinkle Ranch Are. 945 00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:12.920 You're going to find them at D and D feed 946 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.920 up in Tomball Spring Creek feed Center, League City feed 947 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:18.840 in League City both in channed forest and in channed 948 00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:23.800 gardens carry them. Nelson Water Gardener and Katie RCW where 949 00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:29.280 fourteen excuse me where Tomball Parkway comes into beouta Warren 950 00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:32.000 Southern Garden and Kingwood Garden Center. Out in Kingwood the 951 00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:35.159 arbor gate. I's got them up there as well. Easy 952 00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:37.480 to find them. They work. You need to have one 953 00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:39.519 hanging on the shelf in the garage. You are going 954 00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:43.360 to use it every year. I guarantee you that TreeHugger sprinkler. 955 00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:46.199 Let's go to Chapel Hill. Now we're going to talk 956 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:48.519 to Gene. Hello, Jean, welcome to garden Line. 957 00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:52.199 Hi, good morning, Thank you for taking my call. I 958 00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:55.119 have two somewhat unrelated questions where we are and related 959 00:49:55.159 --> 00:50:00.320 to each other. We've planned some small peach trees about 960 00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.760 four or five weeks ago. I actually got some. I 961 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:06.000 actually got some peaches from them. I was surprised. But 962 00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:10.400 should I be fertilizing and when should I be fertilizing 963 00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:10.960 those trees? 964 00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:15.480 Yes, you want to fertilize when how long ago did 965 00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:16.880 you plant them? Did you say. 966 00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:19.519 About a month ago, four or five weeks ago? 967 00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:24.039 Okay? Yeah, so now usually I say about six weeks 968 00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:28.039 after planting, start fertilizing. Okay, so this is a pretty 969 00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:32.519 good time. I would, uh look at the diameter of 970 00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:35.719 the trunk, and it is probably it was less than 971 00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:38.079 an inch thick, right the trunk. 972 00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:42.639 Yeah, yeah, one of them is close. I put three 973 00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:45.719 in and okay, yeah, approximately. 974 00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:47.360 So I would give them. I would give them a 975 00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:51.199 cup of lawn fertilizer. Or if you buy a tree fertilizer, 976 00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:53.280 that's fine, but in the absence of that, just use 977 00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:55.719 lawn fertilizer. Make sure it doesn't have wheat killer in it, 978 00:50:56.559 --> 00:50:58.320 and put a cup of it and sprinkle it in 979 00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:01.840 a big circle, evenly through out the circle. You know, 980 00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:03.800 don't pour it at the base, don't make a donut 981 00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:07.760 around the tree. Just just cover a circular area extending 982 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:10.079 about a foot and a half from the trunk in 983 00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:13.719 all directions water in real good. Two months later I 984 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:16.599 would do that again, and two months later this I 985 00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:19.119 would do that again. So that would be what are 986 00:51:19.159 --> 00:51:21.880 we now? We're in made? You know what, I'm going 987 00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:23.760 to shorten that up again. If we're going to do 988 00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:28.599 it now, let's do it again June, at the end 989 00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:33.159 of June, and then about mid August, and do the 990 00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:37.400 three applications of one one cup only at those times. 991 00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:40.199 Starting next year, we want to write this one down 992 00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:44.199 but look at the trunk diameter of the tree. And 993 00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:46.719 for every inch of trunk diameter, or you can say 994 00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:50.679 about a thumb with depending on your thumb, you give 995 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:53.199 it one or two cups of fertilizer. So let's say 996 00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:55.880 that tree reaches the size where it's trunk is like 997 00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:58.599 a Coca Cola can. We're going to say that's about 998 00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:01.679 three inches across, so it would get three to six 999 00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:05.800 cups when you fertilize. And you can fertilize in spring 1000 00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:09.480 and then in uh midsummer again. 1001 00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:14.280 Okay, perfect, Okay, I will do it. Have you got 1002 00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:18.280 time for a while? Quick question? Yes, unrelated. We had 1003 00:52:18.519 --> 00:52:20.960 we had some dirt brought into level a little bit 1004 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:22.920 of our property, quite a bit of dirt, and they 1005 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.519 brought in hogwart, which bloomed prolifically in the last month 1006 00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:31.679 or so, and it had seeds that we kind of 1007 00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:33.840 picked them and cut them down, but a lot. Can 1008 00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:35.960 we put pre emergent mount down and will that help 1009 00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:38.360 with control of these things in the future. 1010 00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:42.760 I'm not sure hogwart, I'm not sure the weed you're 1011 00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:44.800 talking about there, huh. 1012 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:50.559 I looked it up. I took a picture of it 1013 00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:51.840 and looked it up. 1014 00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:53.199 And that's what it was. 1015 00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:57.199 Oh I see it. Oh gosh, that was in your lawn. 1016 00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:02.760 No, it's some still, you know, and it's real isolated. 1017 00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:05.679 We had eighteen dump or clothes of fielder. It brought 1018 00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:08.800 into level an area. Yeah, putting in. Yeah, and we're 1019 00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:12.400 also going to be putting in. Okay, So can pre 1020 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:13.360 emergent go down now? 1021 00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:15.199 Yeah? 1022 00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:23.880 Well, yes, yes you could. I would probably use a 1023 00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:26.800 product called barricade and put it down according to the 1024 00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:30.559 label amount. I think what you're talking about is a 1025 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:32.920 type of crowton, but it may have been something else. 1026 00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:37.719 But anyway, try that not any single pre emergent kills 1027 00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:41.079 or prevents every possible weed seed that could come up. 1028 00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:44.079 So they have their strengths and weaknesses. But this is 1029 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:46.760 kind of an unusual weed in terms of it's not 1030 00:53:46.920 --> 00:53:50.840 typically a question I get here, and so maybe that 1031 00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:53.239 if that didn't work, we would switch you to a 1032 00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:59.519 different one. But you know, in general, barricade is going 1033 00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:01.960 to cover a wide range of grass and broad leaf 1034 00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:06.119 weeds to prevent the sage from germinating. So follow the label, 1035 00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:08.239 don't overdo it, Okay, I. 1036 00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:08.760 Will do it. 1037 00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:10.239 Thank you so much for your health. 1038 00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:13.320 Hi gene, you bet Thanks for the call. I appreciate 1039 00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:15.360 that a lot.

We're gonna now head over to 1068 00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:46.760 Splendora and talk to Scott. Hey, Scott, welcome to garden 1069 00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:48.599 Line here. 1070 00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:49.079 Good morning. 1071 00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:55.400 He question on a got a question on biochar. Okay, 1072 00:55:56.920 --> 00:55:59.599 I'm putting in a full sized garden out in the 1073 00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:02.559 r and I want to put the biochar in there. 1074 00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:06.280 And I've read some articles about leading to pre charge 1075 00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:10.199 you do, smash it up and make some nutrients stuff 1076 00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:11.719 like that in Are you familiar with that? 1077 00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:16.119 Well, I know what biochar is. I don't think you 1078 00:56:16.239 --> 00:56:19.639 need to precharge it. You put the biochar out and 1079 00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:25.320 when you apply nutrients they absorb into the biochar. It's 1080 00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.000 got a lot. It's a very porous under a microscope 1081 00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:31.280 substance that holds on to nutrients on the surfaces of 1082 00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:35.800 the particles, and so that it is going it is 1083 00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:37.719 going to hold on to nutrients that you put in 1084 00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:40.400 your soil. Now, I guess if you wanted to put 1085 00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:44.079 fertilizer and soak it into biochar. But I've never heard 1086 00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:47.480 of anybody go into that trouble, and I can't see 1087 00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:49.679 a reason why you would have to do it that way. 1088 00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:52.280 I would just mix it in the soil, add the 1089 00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:55.679 nutrients you want, and it's going to provide that extra 1090 00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:59.280 boost for the soil. Areas where people use that, they 1091 00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:00.559 get really good results. 1092 00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:04.559 Okay, So just till it in and then fertilize the 1093 00:57:04.599 --> 00:57:05.920 gardener that normally would. 1094 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:10.400 Yeah, and it comes in outr comes to different particle sizes, 1095 00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:11.559 like a lot of things do. 1096 00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:12.320 Uh. 1097 00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:14.639 And so when you put it in the ground, uh, 1098 00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:18.320 it the larger particles actually helped create some more uh 1099 00:57:18.760 --> 00:57:22.280 poor space down there in the in the soil as well. 1100 00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:27.559 All Right, made my own I've got about three fifty 1101 00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:30.639 five gallon drums or so Uh, I. 1102 00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:32.800 Need to button it up, I guess, and smaller beats. 1103 00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:34.719 That's basically grabbed blumber. 1104 00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:36.000 That. 1105 00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:36.840 Yeah, you can. 1106 00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:40.079 You could, uh yeah, you could. You could break it 1107 00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:42.079 up a little bit more if you want to. That's 1108 00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:45.280 that's fine. Yeah, you know, especially if you're going to 1109 00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:47.119 use it in a container, you want a little bit 1110 00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:50.840 smaller particle size for that. So all right, well, good luck. 1111 00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:53.440 Sounds like you're gonna do it yourself or out there, Scott. 1112 00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:56.119 Yeah, all right, I appreciate it. 1113 00:57:56.199 --> 00:58:00.719 Thanks, thanks for the question. I appreciate that. That's first 1114 00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:03.480 time anybody's ever asked me that. That is an interesting 1115 00:58:04.079 --> 00:58:09.360 angle on a biochart question. Microlife fertilizers have been around 1116 00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:11.679 for over thirty five years now here in the greater 1117 00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:15.000 Houston area. Everybody knows about microlife. Everybody knows it works, 1118 00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:16.519 it uses it because it does. 1119 00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:17.039 It does. 1120 00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:21.360 Right now, we're still doing lawn fertilizing through the summer. Microlife. 1121 00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:23.760 You can put that out several times through the summer 1122 00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:26.559 if you'd like, But you put it down follow the 1123 00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:29.960 label rate and microbes get a hold of it and 1124 00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:33.639 they break those nutrients in it apart or get them 1125 00:58:33.719 --> 00:58:36.360 loose into a form that plants can take up. That's 1126 00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.000 what microbes do to all organic matter in the soil, 1127 00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:42.960 and Microlife is just another example of a product that 1128 00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:47.079 microbes go to work on. Microlife also contains billions and 1129 00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:51.719 billions of different kinds of beneficial microbes along with a yukka, 1130 00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:54.760 which is a natural wedding agent from the yucca plant, 1131 00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:58.400 and it works well. You can use it for your lawns. 1132 00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:00.840 I use it for a lot of things, not just lawns. 1133 00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:03.920 But the green bag, the six' two four is the 1134 00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:06.639 standard one we think of when we think Of microlife lawn. 1135 00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:11.920 Fertilizers Now Microlife humates. Plus that's like concentrated compost in a. 1136 00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:15.199 Bag that's the purple, bag and you can do it 1137 00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:18.199 at the same time you do the green. Bag just, 1138 00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:21.639 remember whenever you're using two different products on your, lawn 1139 00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:25.519 you apply them. Separately don't mix them together because the 1140 00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:28.559 particle size is not the same and therefore they don't 1141 00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:32.320 spread evenly if you mix. Them, instead put out your, 1142 00:59:32.360 --> 00:59:36.679 fertilizer then put out your your humates, plus and you 1143 00:59:36.719 --> 00:59:39.000 can do humans plus as many times the years you want. 1144 00:59:39.039 --> 00:59:41.400 To each time you do, it you're just adding more 1145 00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:44.599 of that quality humus which is what nature makes into 1146 00:59:44.679 --> 00:59:47.360 the soil to enhance the root system and improve the 1147 00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:52.199 condition of the soil. Itself let's head out now to 1148 00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:55.239 a tescassita and we're going to talk To. Jim good, Morning, 1149 00:59:55.320 --> 00:59:56.360 Jim welcome to Garden. 1150 00:59:56.440 --> 01:00:03.440 Line thank, you. Sir, okay your front, yards good, sun full. 1151 01:00:03.559 --> 01:00:09.800 Sun your plants need to be kept, moist the roots 1152 01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:10.239 need to be. 1153 01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:10.519 Wet. 1154 01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:15.639 Okay now everybody's putting out. Compost where do you think 1155 01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:20.599 about putting a shredded seedar on top of that? Compost 1156 01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:25.159 and does that keep the moisture in the? Compost the two. Reasons, 1157 01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:28.960 one the cedar is a lighter, color and number, two 1158 01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:31.599 doesn't it shield and protect the. 1159 01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:39.119 Compost any time that you put a mulch over the, 1160 01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:44.760 surface it protects what's beneath it from soil compaction or from, 1161 01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:50.719 crusting from, erosion from temperature, extremes and so those are 1162 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:53.639 all good. Things and so the cedar as a surface 1163 01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:56.079 mult is fine if you want to use it for. 1164 01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:59.519 That it will keep the soil a little, cooler so 1165 01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.519 roots that are near the surface aren't going to get 1166 01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:06.440 too hot or dry, out and so that's very. Helpful 1167 01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:09.519 and then when you do get rains and. Things it 1168 01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:12.280 helps prevent that crusting and erosion and. Stuff so it's. 1169 01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:15.440 Fine any kind of a multi on the surface is 1170 01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:17.960 going to have those same kind of characteristics if it's 1171 01:01:18.039 --> 01:01:22.320 an organic meaning natural, product you, know, mate not rubber 1172 01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:23.920 chips or something like. 1173 01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:28.199 That, oka, Quick but but does it help to put 1174 01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:33.320 the shredded cedar on top of that dot compost on 1175 01:01:33.480 --> 01:01:33.800 top of the? 1176 01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:39.119 Compost, well yes it does because it shades out the. 1177 01:01:39.199 --> 01:01:42.000 Compost weed seeds that land in that compost are going 1178 01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:45.559 to sprout and. Grow if you've got a chunky SHREDDED 1179 01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:47.920 i say, chunky but in this case of, ceedar it's 1180 01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:51.519 shredded junkie kind of material on. Top it shades that 1181 01:01:51.679 --> 01:01:53.960 out and helps in that. Way if you want to 1182 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.119 go to the trouble of that second, step. 1183 01:01:58.760 --> 01:01:59.519 Can you get better? 1184 01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:02.159 Results you? Get do you do get better results if 1185 01:02:02.199 --> 01:02:03.719 you do it though correct the second? 1186 01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:06.559 Step you? Would you, Would but you would get the 1187 01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.920 same results if you use shredded hardwood mulch or some 1188 01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:13.559 other you know kind of a chunky or, larger larger 1189 01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:16.880 particle size. Mulch so any of the above would. 1190 01:02:16.920 --> 01:02:19.079 Work, okay thank you? 1191 01:02:19.199 --> 01:02:22.719 Sir All, Right, Jim thanks a, lot appreciate your. Call, 1192 01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:26.480 shure gotta gotta run to a, break. Folks i'll be right. 1193 01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:30.719 Back welcome, Back Little Travis tripp hopping things along on 1194 01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:35.400 A sunday. Morning Jungle land is a product that has two. 1195 01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:39.119 Forms one of them is for. Outdoors it's called flour 1196 01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:43.119 and vegetable planting soil jungle land distributed by. Nitrophiles and 1197 01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:45.639 then the second form is the. Indoor it's called jungle 1198 01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:48.519 end water savor putting. Soil what does that? Mean water, 1199 01:02:48.639 --> 01:02:51.480 Savor it means it has crystals in it that absorb 1200 01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:54.960 water and hold onto that. Water so even as the 1201 01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:57.719 mix is drying, out the crystals in the mix are 1202 01:02:57.800 --> 01:03:01.360 still holding onto. Water so your houseplants get by if 1203 01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:03.039 you forget the water them a little, bit it kind 1204 01:03:03.079 --> 01:03:05.559 of helps them along that. Way if both of them work, 1205 01:03:05.639 --> 01:03:09.280 well they're. EXCELLENT a good quality mix like Jungle land 1206 01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:12.480 is going to hold water, adequately but it's also going 1207 01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:16.159 to drain away the excessive, moisture so you don't have this, mucky, 1208 01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:20.000 swampy soggy mess in the. Pot it drains well and 1209 01:03:20.119 --> 01:03:23.079 it's a good quality particle. Size it's got different sources 1210 01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:26.719 of aged organic, matter decomposed organic. Matter it's got microies 1211 01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:28.800 of fungi in. It it's a good. Product you're going 1212 01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:30.760 to find jungle land in a lot of places where 1213 01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:33.679 you buy nitrofost. Products you. Know Night fross can be 1214 01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:36.480 found At Bearing's hardware On bissinet as well as The 1215 01:03:36.519 --> 01:03:40.599 Bearings hardware On West, teimer The Plantation Ace hardware ON 1216 01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.800 fm three point fifty nine nine In Richmond. Rosenberg they 1217 01:03:43.880 --> 01:03:47.480 carry Jungle they carry the nitro frost products as. Well 1218 01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:51.840 down there you are listening To. Guardline the phone number 1219 01:03:51.880 --> 01:03:53.440 if you'd like to give me a call seven one 1220 01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:56.239 three two to one two kt R. H let's go 1221 01:03:56.400 --> 01:03:59.000 now To Deer park and we are going to visit 1222 01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:04.440 With jay this. Morning, Well, jay welcome To. Guardline good. 1223 01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:05.280 Morning thank you very. 1224 01:04:05.320 --> 01:04:05.480 Much. 1225 01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:08.719 Skip i've got a rose on our back patio that's 1226 01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:11.639 in a container that we've tried a couple of them 1227 01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:13.639 and it just doesn't never seem to do very. WELL 1228 01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:16.639 i sent over a couple of. Pictures we thought it 1229 01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:19.840 was some type of longus but it looks like there's 1230 01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:21.639 some bugs on there, too and just wanted to get 1231 01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:22.440 some direction from. 1232 01:04:22.519 --> 01:04:29.000 You, yeah WHAT i see is damage from spider. Mites 1233 01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:32.199 first of, all those are those leaves that look speckled 1234 01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:35.760 where you've got the little tiny white spots all in the. 1235 01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:39.400 Green so WHAT i would do it just a little 1236 01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:41.800 simple rose like. THAT i would just get me a 1237 01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:44.519 garden hose with one of those blaster sprayers on the 1238 01:04:44.679 --> 01:04:49.000 end spray, guns and you, know squirt upward from under the, 1239 01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:51.559 plant and just blast those leaves really, good and do 1240 01:04:51.719 --> 01:04:54.320 that about once a week for about three. Weeks you'll 1241 01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:57.920 get the spider mics under control probably that, way without 1242 01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:00.719 having to go by and mix up a pray just 1243 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:04.079 to treat a little small container rose like. That so 1244 01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:06.719 just blast the. Underside Sometimes i'll set my hand on 1245 01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:09.480 top of the leaf because a blast of water makes the, 1246 01:05:09.599 --> 01:05:11.559 leaf you, know move out of the way of the. 1247 01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:13.440 Water it just kind of knocks it to the. Side 1248 01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:16.079 so that way you can kind of have something behind the, 1249 01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:18.960 leaf so you can really blast those surfaces and knock 1250 01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:21.840 the spider mites. LOOSE i don't see signs of black. 1251 01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:24.119 SPOT i don't see signs of powdery mildew on. THEM 1252 01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:29.480 i can't make out what those critters are on the yellow. 1253 01:05:29.679 --> 01:05:33.639 Rows some of them look like. Ants you know WHAT 1254 01:05:33.840 --> 01:05:36.400 i can't too As i'm zooming. In that's ants and. 1255 01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:43.199 Aphids ants actually drink the sugar water that aphids, produce 1256 01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:46.639 and so the best way to think about ants and 1257 01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:49.760 aphids is aphids are dairy cows and ants are dairy. 1258 01:05:49.800 --> 01:05:52.840 Farmers they will literally pick an aphod, up take it 1259 01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:56.280 up on a, plant set it down, there and raise 1260 01:05:56.360 --> 01:05:58.840 their little herds of. Aphids they use their antenna to 1261 01:05:58.960 --> 01:06:01.039 stroke the aphids by and it puts out a little 1262 01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:03.760 drop of sugar water in, response and they drink. It 1263 01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:07.480 it's just like dairy. Kettle so that's not a good. 1264 01:06:07.519 --> 01:06:09.719 Thing the ants aren't hurting your, plants but the aphids 1265 01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:12.480 are sucking juices and things. Out you might want to 1266 01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:16.800 get something called insecticidal, soap and you could also use 1267 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:23.119 this on the spider mites, Too but insecticidal soap mixed 1268 01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:25.840 in water and sprayed on the aphids will kill. Them 1269 01:06:26.519 --> 01:06:29.119 it desiccates their bodies and they. Die follow the label, 1270 01:06:29.159 --> 01:06:31.119 carefully do it early in the, morning for the sun 1271 01:06:31.239 --> 01:06:35.079 is baking down on the plant and on the spider. 1272 01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:37.480 Mites you just have to spray the insecticidal soap on 1273 01:06:37.559 --> 01:06:41.159 the undersides of the foliage where the spider mites are. 1274 01:06:41.199 --> 01:06:43.840 Hiding so if you wanted to use the soap for both, 1275 01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.679 problems you could do. That thank. 1276 01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:49.800 You you mentioned follow the, instructions but just in, general 1277 01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:52.559 how often a frequent is that application of the. 1278 01:06:52.599 --> 01:06:57.480 Soap it's kind of an as needed soap is not a. 1279 01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:01.800 Poison you, know you're giving the little waxy cuticle of 1280 01:07:01.880 --> 01:07:05.000 the insect a bath in soap and it's dissolving away 1281 01:07:05.119 --> 01:07:08.559 some of that protective coating and they die from. Desiccation 1282 01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:12.719 so you only kill the aphids that you give a 1283 01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:17.480 bath and. Soap so that's why coverage is. Critical, now 1284 01:07:17.519 --> 01:07:19.679 if you were to do it all perfectly in the first, 1285 01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:22.119 spray you probably wouldn't have to do it.

Helpful thank. YOU i did send an 1408 01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:52.039 email on. 1409 01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:55.199 A, trunk. 1410 01:13:56.600 --> 01:13:59.880 A trunk of an elm tree that has sap. LEAKING 1411 01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:03.680 i guess some type of. Insect can you help me? 1412 01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:07.600 Out you, BET i looked at your emails and for 1413 01:14:07.680 --> 01:14:11.520 those that are listening, here it is an area in 1414 01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:14.239 the trunk that just looks. Wet it's just wet all 1415 01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:16.920 through that, area and that is a that is a 1416 01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:23.119 condition called slime flux or also sometimes called bacterial wet, 1417 01:14:23.199 --> 01:14:27.119 wood and it happens in the summertime on trees from 1418 01:14:27.159 --> 01:14:29.600 time to. Time it could be a little, wound it 1419 01:14:29.680 --> 01:14:32.800 could be a little crack in the. Bark and the 1420 01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:36.279 sap in a tree is. Sugary it's got carbohydrates in, 1421 01:14:36.399 --> 01:14:40.560 it and so whenever microbes get a hold of, carbohydrates 1422 01:14:41.079 --> 01:14:45.520 they begin to proliferate and the it creates a kind 1423 01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:47.600 of a wound that the tree is going to have 1424 01:14:47.800 --> 01:14:51.800 to eventually close, over kind of wall off and close, 1425 01:14:51.880 --> 01:14:56.119 over because in the meantime it is either going to 1426 01:14:56.159 --> 01:15:00.279 have just this, wet slimy look to, it or may 1427 01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:03.279 have a, white frothy look to. It sometimes when it's 1428 01:15:03.359 --> 01:15:06.399 building up under the, bark it'll actually lift the bark 1429 01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:10.199 up away from the wood and it's. Fermenting it's basically 1430 01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:14.239 a little insect beer, garden a beer joint on the 1431 01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:16.920 side of the, tree because you'll see butterflies and wasps 1432 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:20.239 and other things sometimes begin to gather there when it's 1433 01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:23.079 fermenting like. That that's why the white froth can. Occur 1434 01:15:23.279 --> 01:15:26.880 so if you see that, development you know already then 1435 01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:31.079 what's going. On it's not something that you. Treat there's 1436 01:15:31.159 --> 01:15:33.399 not some product you put on.

Number how much it's 1855 01:38:19.239 --> 01:38:22.199 nine fifty eight? Eight how much phosphates too? 1856 01:38:22.279 --> 01:38:27.199 Much we depends on what's already in your. Soil that's 1857 01:38:27.239 --> 01:38:30.840 the bottom. Line that one is fine if you're trying 1858 01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:33.680 to supplement a little bit of phosphorus around a plant 1859 01:38:34.159 --> 01:38:37.640 that is especially needing quite a bit of. It But 1860 01:38:37.800 --> 01:38:40.439 i'd be very careful with too much phosphorus because it 1861 01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:44.920 causes other problems with other. Nutrients, so you, know if 1862 01:38:44.960 --> 01:38:47.520 it's a typically for blooming, plants you know you're going 1863 01:38:47.600 --> 01:38:50.239 to water a tomato plant, in you know with something 1864 01:38:50.359 --> 01:38:52.680 like that to get a good root system, start you're 1865 01:38:52.680 --> 01:38:54.720 going to put in a rose bush or some things 1866 01:38:55.279 --> 01:38:57.119 with the bottom line is just be. Careful we've got 1867 01:38:57.159 --> 01:39:00.279 a lot of other good fertilizers out there that have 1868 01:39:00.399 --> 01:39:01.640 more balanced uh. 1869 01:39:02.760 --> 01:39:07.800 Nutrient bleeding hot Suck, OKAY i was going to try 1870 01:39:07.800 --> 01:39:10.680 it my bleeding hot a little. Bit, Okay. 1871 01:39:10.680 --> 01:39:11.680 Okay second, question just. 1872 01:39:11.720 --> 01:39:14.199 Don't don't do. It don't do it too many? Times, 1873 01:39:14.920 --> 01:39:16.760 no go, ahead, okay spath. 1874 01:39:16.840 --> 01:39:19.920 Afilium what's the best way to water those? Suck is 1875 01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:21.520 my wife AND i you are arguing about that. 1876 01:39:23.640 --> 01:39:28.359 Seth spaths need a good soaking and then a moderate 1877 01:39:28.399 --> 01:39:31.399 amount of drying. Out you don't want to keep them soggy. 1878 01:39:31.479 --> 01:39:34.399 Wet they typically are growing in areas that don't have 1879 01:39:34.479 --> 01:39:37.720 a lot of light, anyway so the water use rates are. 1880 01:39:37.760 --> 01:39:41.560 Lower putting them in a very chunky mix that drains 1881 01:39:41.680 --> 01:39:44.760 exceptionally well is. Helpful we run into a lot of 1882 01:39:44.840 --> 01:39:47.840 problems when they get in a fine, textured, wet mucky 1883 01:39:47.960 --> 01:39:51.960 mix and uh that that tends to cause root rots 1884 01:39:52.039 --> 01:39:52.880 and problems with. 1885 01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:58.159 Them but, Plant, okay they're in the pot, now SO 1886 01:39:58.279 --> 01:40:00.640 i should be better off putting it put in a different. 1887 01:40:00.680 --> 01:40:05.680 Soil, well it depends on what they're in right. NOW 1888 01:40:06.039 --> 01:40:08.000 i don't. Know maybe the soil you're in is just. 1889 01:40:08.079 --> 01:40:08.520 Good but. 1890 01:40:10.000 --> 01:40:11.359 You know it looks like set a lot of peed 1891 01:40:11.439 --> 01:40:11.800 in it right? 1892 01:40:11.880 --> 01:40:16.520 Now, yeah well it usually. Does just watch the watering of. 1893 01:40:16.600 --> 01:40:19.439 It one quick way to tell is you sharpen a 1894 01:40:19.479 --> 01:40:22.000 pencil and stick it down in the soil a couple 1895 01:40:22.039 --> 01:40:24.920 of inches, deep two or three inches, deep and pull 1896 01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:27.720 it out and at sharpened.

Way but you gotta find out where 2168 01:55:37.319 --> 01:55:39.920 the water is and either pour it out or put 2169 01:55:40.000 --> 01:55:42.960 some mosquito dunks in.

SCHOOL i, 2193 01:57:00.119 --> 01:57:02.399 mean you just have to be careful with them because 2194 01:57:02.399 --> 01:57:04.760 they're so. Aggressive we have other vines that are very, 2195 01:57:04.840 --> 01:57:09.279 tame you.

Arbors if you've got an overhead, structure putting 2198 01:57:17.079 --> 01:57:20.880 a vine on it gives you a, nice, soft natural 2199 01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:23.840 shade that you can sit under and. Enjoy maybe it's 2200 01:57:23.880 --> 01:57:25.960 a grape vine and you get fruit out of the 2201 01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:28.640 deal on top of it. All or maybe it's a flowering. 2202 01:57:28.760 --> 01:57:33.239 Rose you know, what a beautiful climbing rose. Vine that's 2203 01:57:33.600 --> 01:57:36.760 a wonderful idea for a trellish or an. Arbor maybe 2204 01:57:36.800 --> 01:57:38.600 it's the west side of your. House maybe you have 2205 01:57:38.680 --> 01:57:41.640 a brick wall or that's heats up at the end 2206 01:57:41.680 --> 01:57:43.760 of the day when the sun bakes on that. BRICK 2207 01:57:44.239 --> 01:57:46.680 i want you to do. Something go out today at 2208 01:57:46.720 --> 01:57:49.319 about eight o'clock a, night and go put your hand 2209 01:57:49.399 --> 01:57:51.840 on that wall and feel how hot it is that. 2210 01:57:52.039 --> 01:57:54.920 Brick it's like a brick. Off it absorbs the heat 2211 01:57:55.399 --> 01:57:58.680 and then it radiates that heat outward and inward into your, 2212 01:57:58.720 --> 01:58:02.560 house making your air condition a work. Overtime simply putting a, 2213 01:58:02.680 --> 01:58:06.000 vine either on the wall or on a structure that's 2214 01:58:06.039 --> 01:58:09.159 it's a trellisit SIT's out from the, wall can make 2215 01:58:09.199 --> 01:58:13.159 a big difference in the temperature and you're electric bill as. 2216 01:58:13.239 --> 01:58:17.600 Well vines make good. Walls someone often, SAYS i got 2217 01:58:17.640 --> 01:58:19.680 a neighbor AND i don't want to look at fill 2218 01:58:19.760 --> 01:58:22.319 in the blank across the, fence and they want a 2219 01:58:22.359 --> 01:58:24.439 real quick. Cover, well we can recommend a row of, 2220 01:58:24.520 --> 01:58:27.239 shrubs and that could work very, well but it takes. 2221 01:58:27.359 --> 01:58:30.680 Time with a vine on something like a livestock panel 2222 01:58:31.680 --> 01:58:35.960 that is very long lasting in the, environment doesn't just rust. 2223 01:58:36.000 --> 01:58:38.920 Away you can put that on a post and by 2224 01:58:39.000 --> 01:58:40.920 planning a vine on, it you can get a really 2225 01:58:41.079 --> 01:58:45.840 quick cover screen. Easily remember that the closer you put 2226 01:58:45.880 --> 01:58:50.359 a wall to where you, sit the taller the screen 2227 01:58:51.119 --> 01:58:54.359 visually will. Be here's WHAT i. Mean you sitting on 2228 01:58:54.439 --> 01:58:57.399 your patio and you look across and you got let's 2229 01:58:57.399 --> 01:58:59.520 say you have a six foot privacy fence and there's 2230 01:58:59.560 --> 01:59:03.239 something sticking up ten feet on the other side of the. Fence, 2231 01:59:03.439 --> 01:59:06.439 well if you put a vine trellis right by the, 2232 01:59:06.479 --> 01:59:08.319 fence it's gonna have to be ten feet high to 2233 01:59:08.399 --> 01:59:10.720 block the view if you put it by where you set, 2234 01:59:11.359 --> 01:59:14.119 something even five or six feet high will be enough 2235 01:59:14.279 --> 01:59:17.439 because your angle of, sight your line of sight is different, 2236 01:59:17.520 --> 01:59:21.039 There so kind of be creative and think about.

Well 2320 02:03:58.520 --> 02:04:03.800 and number, two we're adding nutrients that help support the 2321 02:04:03.880 --> 02:04:07.600 plant by creating a bank account of those. Nutrients that's 2322 02:04:07.640 --> 02:04:09.880 the one reason why azemite is so. Popular it's a 2323 02:04:09.960 --> 02:04:13.760 trace mineral. Supplement azamite is put down in small. Amounts 2324 02:04:13.920 --> 02:04:16.520 you don't need a lot of trace, minerals but they are. 2325 02:04:16.760 --> 02:04:21.359 Essential plants cannot grow without trace. Minerals, okay so asimite put, 2326 02:04:21.439 --> 02:04:23.760 down you put on your. Lawn you can do it 2327 02:04:23.880 --> 02:04:26.479 on a regular, basis more than once a year if 2328 02:04:26.520 --> 02:04:28.760 you want. To i'd start with the soil test to 2329 02:04:28.880 --> 02:04:30.479 know for sure if you need it more than once 2330 02:04:30.520 --> 02:04:33.359 a year or. Not but whatever you do putting it, 2331 02:04:33.479 --> 02:04:35.319 down you can do it when you're, fertilize you can 2332 02:04:35.359 --> 02:04:39.039 do it in between. Fertilizations it doesn't. Matter just include 2333 02:04:39.079 --> 02:04:42.840 that azamite is part of your annual soil nutrient bank. 2334 02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:46.600 Account maintenance. System and when you do all of, that 2335 02:04:47.039 --> 02:04:48.880 whatever plants you're trying to grow is going to have better. 2336 02:04:48.960 --> 02:04:51.800 Success that's just the way nature. Works it, works it 2337 02:04:51.880 --> 02:04:54.640 works really. Well let's head to the west side Of 2338 02:04:54.720 --> 02:04:57.199 houston now and we're going to visit With.

DAY 2344 02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:12.159 i was turning my malt AND i noticed this white 2345 02:05:12.880 --> 02:05:16.239 residue underneath of. It is that SOMETHING i need to 2346 02:05:16.319 --> 02:05:17.640 be worried? 2347 02:05:17.640 --> 02:05:18.680 About or what is? 2348 02:05:18.720 --> 02:05:20.279 It DO i need to get rid of my mulch 2349 02:05:20.359 --> 02:05:21.319 and redo? 2350 02:05:21.479 --> 02:05:24.119 It or what DO i need to do with? 2351 02:05:24.239 --> 02:05:24.279 That? 2352 02:05:25.560 --> 02:05:29.439 Yeah, Rob i'm glad you called. That, no that's a good, 2353 02:05:29.520 --> 02:05:31.439 question and it's what other people are going to. Have 2354 02:05:31.640 --> 02:05:34.079 And rob sent me a picture and what you see 2355 02:05:34.399 --> 02:05:37.800 is the, chunky woody mulch that goes on top of the. 2356 02:05:37.840 --> 02:05:40.079 Ground but as you turn it and get kind of 2357 02:05:40.159 --> 02:05:42.800 underneath the surface where it's, moist there's all this white. 2358 02:05:42.920 --> 02:05:47.279 Stuff and, yeah what that is is that those are fungal. Strands. 2359 02:05:47.880 --> 02:05:51.239 Rob and when it comes to decomposing organic, matter we 2360 02:05:51.359 --> 02:05:53.720 have a lot of different microbial things that can do, 2361 02:05:53.840 --> 02:05:57.680 that like bacteria and actinomy seats and other. Things when 2362 02:05:57.720 --> 02:05:59.880 it comes to the tough stuff to break, down like, 2363 02:06:00.119 --> 02:06:04.079 wood the lignan and wood, products that's hard to break, 2364 02:06:04.119 --> 02:06:06.399 down but fungi can do it and they get in. 2365 02:06:06.520 --> 02:06:09.439 There and there's a bazillion different kinds of fungi that do, 2366 02:06:09.600 --> 02:06:13.079 this but a number of them have these white fungal, 2367 02:06:13.199 --> 02:06:16.560 strands and all that means is nature is turning that 2368 02:06:16.720 --> 02:06:20.520 mulch back into, soil high, quality composty. Soil so that's 2369 02:06:20.560 --> 02:06:23.760 a good. Thing don't worry about it at. All you're 2370 02:06:23.800 --> 02:06:27.399 good to. Go, yeah all, right, brother that's.

There so that may be what 2497 02:12:47.000 --> 02:12:51.640 is causing the proliferation that you're seeing. It you, know 2498 02:12:51.720 --> 02:12:53.520 it's a matter of digging them. Up it's a matter 2499 02:12:53.600 --> 02:12:57.000 of putting a good thick mulch over them to try 2500 02:12:57.079 --> 02:12:59.000 to shade the light out if it's coming from a. 2501 02:12:59.079 --> 02:13:01.239 Seed but it's probably not coming from a, seed SO 2502 02:13:01.680 --> 02:13:04.720 i think it'll push up through.

Everywhere so but the other 2703 02:23:26.120 --> 02:23:30.000 DAY i bought this red trumpet vine Because i've always 2704 02:23:30.040 --> 02:23:32.840 wanted to have.

There but my question, IS 2710 02:23:42.280 --> 02:23:45.600 i WAS i was considering instead of playing it in the, 2711 02:23:45.680 --> 02:23:49.760 ground putting it in a big, pot so that that, 2712 02:23:49.920 --> 02:23:52.840 way Maybe i've read it when it spread as much that, 2713 02:23:52.920 --> 02:23:54.319 WAY i want to see what you thought about that 2714 02:23:54.360 --> 02:23:55.200 idea that. 2715 02:23:55.399 --> 02:23:58.239 Done my can't it can't. Spread it can't spread if 2716 02:23:58.280 --> 02:24:00.680 it's not if it's in a, Pot so that's. Possible 2717 02:24:00.760 --> 02:24:03.799 it needs to be a big. Pot those are big vigorous. 2718 02:24:03.920 --> 02:24:06.399 Vines AND i don't, know you, know at some point 2719 02:24:06.639 --> 02:24:08.879 you're going to have a vine that's reached as big 2720 02:24:08.959 --> 02:24:11.520 as it's going to be able to get with the 2721 02:24:11.639 --> 02:24:15.520 soil that sustains it in the, pot and SO i 2722 02:24:15.559 --> 02:24:17.680 don't know how well it would. Perform i've never tried 2723 02:24:17.719 --> 02:24:20.920 a trumpet vine in a big, pot but it would confine, 2724 02:24:20.959 --> 02:24:23.079 it that's for. Sure you're just going to need to 2725 02:24:23.120 --> 02:24:26.760 be able to water it regularly in order to not 2726 02:24:26.959 --> 02:24:29.000 let it go dry and stress at the end of 2727 02:24:29.040 --> 02:24:32.280 every day in the, summer because even a big, pot 2728 02:24:32.719 --> 02:24:34.440 that trumpet vine is going to get big and it's 2729 02:24:34.479 --> 02:24:36.840 gonna pump it dry pretty. Quick so that's only. Drawback 2730 02:24:36.920 --> 02:24:38.760 but it's certainly worth giving it a. 2731 02:24:38.840 --> 02:24:41.280 Try if you want to try, That, okay all, Right 2732 02:24:41.760 --> 02:24:45.280 i'll give it and Get SHALL i use roy soil 2733 02:24:45.360 --> 02:24:46.520 for that in the? 2734 02:24:46.600 --> 02:24:46.799 Pot? 2735 02:24:47.399 --> 02:24:49.479 YEAH i, WOULD i.
