Seven one 32 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.200 three two one two kt r H seven one three 33 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.519 two one two kt r H. I was driving through 34 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.799 some neighborhoods the other day. I have a habit of 35 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.920 not liking to take and take the oh, I don't know, 36 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.439 beaten path or whatever. You know, if I'm going across town, 37 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:05.239 if I'm in a hurry, yeah I get on a 38 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.400 freeway or whatever. But wherever I can, I like to 39 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.560 kind of cut through a neighborhood, just see what's going on, 40 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:11.680 see a lot of houses, a lot of plants, a 41 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.120 lot of ideas, and I enjoy doing that. I was 42 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.800 looking at a landscape that was just gorgeous as I 43 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.840 was driving by. I caught my eye from the side 44 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.240 and I looked at it, just stopped and looked at it. 45 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.919 And when I first saw it, I thought this. I 46 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.199 kind of thought, well, what is it about that landscape 47 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.479 that makes it so attractive? And it was the layout. 48 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.520 It was the layout and the design and where they 49 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.319 had put plants and things. It just overall topped a 50 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.680 bottom looked good. And I don't know if you've ever 51 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.080 felt this way, but sometimes we buy things, we bring 52 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.400 them home, we plant them. There are babies, there are plants, 53 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.120 get them in the ground, and you know, we enjoy them. 54 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.280 They look good and everything, but we always feel like, yeah, 55 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.840 you know, I just don't quite know how to do this. 56 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.639 And I've had people ask me before you how do 57 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.840 you know where to put a plant? Of course the 58 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.520 answers of it needs sunlight, it needs drainage and all 59 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.919 that that applies. But esthetically, where do you put a plant? 60 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.360 That is one of the things that I so appreciate 61 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.919 about Peerscapes is they they know go to their website, 62 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.159 go to pierscapes dot com, look at what they do. 63 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.680 That's the bottom line, and when you look at it, 64 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.039 it's like, Okay, I see that, I get it, and 65 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.319 there is something to landscape design. Now listen, it's your yard. 66 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.719 You can do whatever you want, you planet where you want. 67 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.759 Like I like, I often say, it's between you and 68 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.479 the hoa as to where you put things and how 69 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.599 you do it. But if you want to have that 70 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.919 nice curb appeal, if you want your house value to increase, 71 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.680 if you want someday you're going to maybe sell it 72 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.000 or you know, move on to some other house, you 73 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.520 want it to be as valuable as it can be 74 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.280 and as attractive as it can be, not just to 75 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.159 get more money for the house, but to have it 76 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.000 move faster when it hits the market and that kind 77 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.240 of eye catching appeal. That's what they do so well. 78 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.360 And I you know, I'm a plant person. I know plants, 79 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.680 But when it comes to design, yeah, not so much. 80 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:11.039 I mean, you could go and get me, I don't know, Rembrandts, 81 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.199 canvases and painting and paints and brushes and everything. Set 82 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.240 them in front of me, and I'll promise you it 83 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.439 ain't gonna look like it's gonna look like two monkeys 84 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.279 fell in paint and started wrestling on a piece of paper. 85 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.279 I mean, that's my painting style. You got to get 86 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.680 somebody knows what they're doing and in order to have 87 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.000 that show place kind of look. And this is what 88 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.120 they do, Chris. They do other things. They do landscape irrigation, 89 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.560 they do, drainage areas, They do hard escapes. They do 90 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.879 landscape lighting, lots of other things, but Pierce Capes isn't. 91 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.480 They're professionals and they know how to do it right. 92 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.319 You can give them a call to eight one three 93 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.759 seven fifty sixty two eight one three seven o five 94 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.639 zero six zero, but mainly go to that website piercescapes 95 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.399 dot com. You'll get some ideas there, just like I 96 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.160 do when I'm driving around town looking at cool landscapes. 97 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.800 I won't take I almost steal that. Not the landscape, 98 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.920 I almost steel the idea. I won't take it home, 99 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.680 and I'm going to try some of that in my yard. 100 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.000 That's how I enjoyed you. I don't know if you're 101 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.920 a peruser of landscapes or not. Pet anyway, it's a 102 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.639 fun thing to do. You learn a lot too. 103 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:20.800 Well. 104 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.680 I was just looking at some of the weather coming 105 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.160 up here. I got some scattered storms and stuff today. 106 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.920 So far, it's pretty quiet out there in the Gulf, 107 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.560 but that ain't the last. We're in a hurricane season 108 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.480 and we will have storms coming through, and hopefully it 109 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.720 won't be like last year where we had a couple 110 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.439 of storms that just shattered trees, knocked them all over 111 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.959 the place and put out power and everything like that. 112 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.600 But it always reminds me that you got to keep 113 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.800 your trees well pruned.

I've been kind of focusing on my landscape 147 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.560 a lot lately, and so the vegetable garden has kind 148 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.639 of been ignored. But one thing I did that I'm 149 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.160 glad I did, and I learned to do this a 150 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.920 long time ago, is whenever you pull out a crop, 151 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.040 you know you let's say you grew spin and lettuce 152 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.839 and carrots, or something in a bed this past cool season, 153 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.480 and it time to get all that harvested out for 154 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.279 warm season planting. In between the time I pull the 155 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.399 crop out and I plant the new thing, I always 156 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.519 mulch the soil surface well. And right now I'm taking 157 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.480 grass clippings from my yard, and I don't put them thick, 158 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.800 because they get all gooey if you put them real thick. 159 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.800 But fresh grass clippings a couple of inches deep is 160 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.920 just fine. And they just sit out there and they 161 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.240 dry and they cover the soil surface. And I do 162 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.279 that with leaves, I do that with other things. When 163 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.320 it's time to plant. What I'm gonna do is I'm 164 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.120 gonna go out there and there are very few weeds 165 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.600 in those beds. Had I not mulch ahead of time, 166 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.480 it would have been a chia pet of weeds out there. 167 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.840 And so what I'll do is I'll pull that mulch 168 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.840 back and either set in the transplants or plant the 169 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.879 row seeds or whatever I'm going to do. But it 170 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.320 makes it so much easier because listen, when there's fire 171 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.919 ants around, which they are when it's one hundred degrees, 172 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.039 which it will be in the summer, you don't want 173 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.399 to be out there pulling weeds so you can put 174 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.799 in a garden. You want to get that stuff done 175 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.000 ahead of time. And it's really easy to do if 176 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.440 you just keep the soil surface moltt. Wherever sunlight hits 177 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.639 the soil, nature plants a weed. That's true in your lawns, 178 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.200 and that's true in your gardens as well. All right, 179 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.720 just keep that in mind. Keep it malts. Make it 180 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.200 easier on yourself. Don't make it so hard to try 181 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.639 to try to keep everything nice and clean. I'm going 182 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.600 to take a little break here. We'll be back in 183 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.279 a moment if you'd like to be will it first 184 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:39.480 up today? Seven one three two one two KTRH.

Be happy to help with that. 188 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.480 I posted something to Facebook just a few days ago. 189 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.960 My daughter sent me a picture of a little fiddlely 190 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.559 figed shed. She showed it to me one time. I 191 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.679 was over there, and he's like, man, that thing looked bad. 192 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.480 It was like it was closer to yellow than it 193 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.519 was to green, literally, and it wasn't doing good, and 194 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.399 I thought, oh gosh, I've been overwatered. Its roots are 195 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.279 rotting and it's a goner. Anyway, it wasn't apparently, I 196 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.159 guess it wasn't a root rot But I gave her 197 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.399 a little sample of Medina products. There's a lot of 198 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.080 Medina products out there, but the six twelve six it's 199 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.360 the Medina has to grow plant food six twelve six. 200 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.360 And the little sample bottle makes two gallons. And so 201 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.759 she mixed up one and watered it in with it, 202 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.320 and it's back in May. I believe she did this, 203 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.840 and then she mixed it up again and watered it 204 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.240 again with it. A little bit later and a lot 205 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:39.879 of about a month is when she sent me the 206 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.080 picture this of it again. She had the before and after, 207 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.159 and it was dramatic, dramatic if there was a new 208 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.320 growth coming ont the top of it. Now it is happy, 209 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.360 but that doesn't surprise me. Medina products, there are a 210 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.480 lot of different products. They've got their their humate. It 211 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.559 is just well, it's called humade humic acid. Basically, it's 212 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:03.000 what it is, and it just wonders for soil in 213 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.000 terms of helping with the soil structure inside humus is 214 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.279 part of what nature does to improve soil's physical properties. 215 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.519 There's a lot of benefits for microbial activity, for nutrient 216 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.080 exchange and other things in human at umic acid. It's 217 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.720 a liquid you can use that. You can use that 218 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.759 at any time you want to use it on anything, 219 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.240 you want to use it. It works well. They also 220 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.799 have a product I like a lot called Medina Plus. 221 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:29.039 Now. 222 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:33.200 Medina Plus is the old Medina soil activator that a 223 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.639 lot of gardeners have loved for a lot of time. 224 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.679 Plus over forty different trace elements including also some plant hormones, 225 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.679 natural growth hormones. It's got seaweed extract in it, and 226 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.399 it just does. It just does. Wonders for giving your 227 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.320 plants a boost. You need to give them a try. 228 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.639 You're going to find Adena products everywhere. Feed stores, the 229 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.919 garden centers we talk about here on garden Line, ace 230 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.679 hardware stores, all kinds of places. We can find that 231 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.519 whole line, whole line of Medina products. At work. Anyway, 232 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.720 I thought that before and after picture was kind of cool, 233 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.320 so I just since you are sent it out there 234 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.039 on our Facebook page. If you don't follow garden Line Facebook, 235 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.720 you ought to. We post stuff all the time up there. 236 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.759 And if you also, if you want to follow a 237 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.080 garden line with Skip, it's called Garden Line with Skip 238 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.840 the that's an Instagram account that we put some things 239 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.879 up on as well. Facebook's a little more active for me, 240 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:34.200 but anyway, we do both. Let's see, I was talking 241 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.240 about planting in the vegetable garden. That is something that 242 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.480 I definitely need to need to get out and do. 243 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:47.279 My garden has sat fallow for too long, and you know, 244 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.919 he said, well, what does that mean too long? Well, 245 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:55.120 I've been busy. I just covered in doing other things. 246 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.639 Like I said, I've been taking care of my landscape. 247 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.039 I've got some lawn issues that I've been having to 248 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.879 deal with, and I don't know. One of my zoisias 249 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.120 is having a little bit of a struggle. I know 250 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.720 it's in a low shade environment. It's got little bit 251 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.240 of some disease looking patches in it, and I'm having 252 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.639 to get to the bottom of that and figure out 253 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.279 what's going on with that, what's the cause of it. 254 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.759 Part of the problem with my lawns is the fact 255 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.279 that I've got two Golden retrievers weigh about one hundred 256 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.279 pounds each. And those monsters, let's just say, when they 257 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.720 go out there and start running, when they turn a corner, 258 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.000 it pushes up a hill with their paws the size 259 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.559 of a mole hill, because you know, they just trump 260 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.639 the heck out of the thing. And then they like 261 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.919 to kill the grass by going to the bathroom in 262 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.759 certain spots. So anyway, you probably have dealt with that 263 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:45.159 kind of thing. We can we can't have dogs in 264 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.039 lawns coexist, and that's kind of what I'm working on 265 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.799 in that. Well, tell you what, let's go out to 266 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.399 the phones here. I'm going to head to Spring now 267 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.799 and we're going to talk to Bonnie this morning. Well, hello, Bonnie, 268 00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.440 welcome to garden Line High Skip. 269 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:03.720 I have a tropical high discus I got in December, 270 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:10.240 and this it would get almost to bloom stage. The 271 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.360 buds would start showing color and then they just drop off. 272 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.879 One actually did fully bloom. And when it dropped off, 273 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.240 I looked underneath and there was a little hole in 274 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.480 one of the petals. So when I pulled the pedals back, 275 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.919 there's a little green caterpillar inside and there were some 276 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.720 eggs that I threw it away. And now I'm seeing 277 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:40.200 little black spots and some of the butts. Also some 278 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.840 of the leafs. Once in a while there's a leaf 279 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.679 that is yellow and just falls off. So what's going on. 280 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.440 Yeah, you know, there are different things going on there. 281 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.039 First of all, you did find the actual insect in 282 00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.000 the case of burring in, and they do some caterpillars 283 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.320 that will attack them. That's that's just kind of part 284 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.360 of the deal. The black spots could be a little 285 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.759 tiny bacterial spot infections, or if they're bigger, it could 286 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.759 even a city mold. When you have insects that sect 287 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.440 the juices out of the plant, they produce a sugary 288 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:19.360 water that causes a city mold to grow. But those 289 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:23.559 are a little bit larger city looking patches as opposed 290 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.279 to a little, tiny, small black spot. You can use 291 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.639 an insecticide. You could use an insecticide on them to 292 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.480 control things like that caterpillar and and other things that 293 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.120 might show up. And that might be good. I know 294 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:40.799 that that. You know, the climatic conditions that things are 295 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.600 going through from fluctuations and so moisture content and whatnot 296 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.879 can also cause issues with the getting them to go 297 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.960 from the bud to the blooms successfully without dropping dropping 298 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:58.519 those off. So watch out for fertilizing. They do want fertilizer, 299 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.000 but excess is a lot of lush foliage at the 300 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.360 expense of blooms, So watch that. Try to keep the 301 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.679 water as even as you can. Too much or too 302 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.080 little can cause that bud drop. And so that some 303 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.120 of that's in your control. Irrigation. The rain is not 304 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.480 in your control unless you move the plant where you 305 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.039 have control of water. They like well drained soil. Certainly 306 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.159 temperatures can cause problems, but I wouldn't. That's not the 307 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.120 issue we're having right now with your with your hibiscus. 308 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.679 But that's something else that can cause a bloom drop 309 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.399 type problem. 310 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.000 That sends something from ace culp is from bon eye 311 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:39.480 called eight and sprayed with that other than if that's 312 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.279 helping or not, are you familiar with them? 313 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:49.519 What is in bone eyed eight eight? We see if 314 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.840 I can pull that up right quick and find I 315 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.440 don't know what the. 316 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.120 Supposed to target eight different things? 317 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:01.559 Okay, all right, you tell me what's in the label. 318 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.480 They're not telling me anyway. Let me see if I 319 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.519 can find something on it. I'll have to see the 320 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.000 ingredient in order to know, Okay, it's. 321 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.240 Got I don't have it with me right now. 322 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.240 It's a synthetic. It's a synthetic peritheid. Yeah, that'll kill 323 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.240 a lot of things. That'll kill the caterpillars, will kill aphids, 324 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:24.039 it will kill, yeah, the things that are most likely 325 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.400 to be on your probably not scale, but other things 326 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.640 it would work pretty well on. 327 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:36.519 Okay, all right. Also, I have a quite myrtle that 328 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.640 was planted in March. It's fifteen gallon quaite myrtle at 329 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.119 nice size. But I'm just now seeing a little white 330 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.839 on the leafs. It's a fashion. I thought it was 331 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:54.240 supposed to be the resistant and it's story need to 332 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.400 get white. I don't like it. 333 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:01.720 Yeah, yeah, Bashian part pink is. It's a pink, pink 334 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:06.039 blooming crate myrtle. And it's an old time create myrtle. 335 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.000 Been around a long time. People have loved that. I mean, 336 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:13.599 it's one of the more more famous cret myrtles that 337 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.640 we've got out there on the market. It's been around 338 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:20.160 a very very long time. I don't it's powdery mildew. 339 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.319 Trying to remember, I don't think it has strong powdery mildew. Resistance. 340 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.000 Need to need to check that. I'm trying to remember 341 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.799 it might I mean, I'm just saying I did. I 342 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.039 should know. I did a big chart on powdery mildew, 343 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:43.240 great myrtle varieties and powdery mildew. Uh, you know, success 344 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:48.720 in terms of resistance rather to it. So you need 345 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.799 to make sure and choose from the ones that are 346 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.960 actually Bash's party. Pink does show good, good to excellent 347 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.519 powdery mildew resistance, so it shouldn't be getting that. When 348 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.119 you say white are you are you talking about like, 349 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.160 do you know what powdery mildy looks like? Is that 350 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.680 what you're seeing? Or you just something white? 351 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.640 Another one? Once before I have seen it on a 352 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:16.559 different crate than I took out because of the whe Okay. 353 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:19.319 Well, I've got about thirty seconds. I have to go 354 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.039 to a break here. In thirty seconds, let's you want 355 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:24.799 to just hang on. When we come back from break, 356 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.440 I can continue with it on this one. Okay, sure, yeah, 357 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.480 just hang on, you bet all right, got to run 358 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.920 to break here. We will be back with your calls 359 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.440 seven one three two one two k t r H 360 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.480 seven one three two one two fifty eight seventy four. 361 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.319 Just hang on, we'll be back to finish this crape 362 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.480 myrtle discussion. All right, I just have to say one thing. 363 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:51.960 I saw a Taylor Swift in concert. I know, I know, 364 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.400 before she was famous. She was a backup singer to 365 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.480 Brad Paisley, and we were over in New Bronfels, Texas, 366 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.079 and I who Taylor Swift was. I guess not many 367 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:05.359 people did at that time, but anyway, I thought that 368 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:07.799 was cool. That's my claim. That's the closest I got 369 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.160 to a claim to fame. That is that I went 370 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.000 to a Brad Paisley concert. All right, let's go back here. 371 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.400 We're gonna go. If I can find the right button, 372 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.880 there we go, Bonnie. In spring, we were talking about 373 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.359 powdery mildew. Powdery mildew if that is what it is, 374 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.200 which you know, there's possibilities. It could be that your 375 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.799 plant actually isn't a bashing party pink. It may be 376 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.400 another pink variety that was sold as that. That's unlikely, 377 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:35.720 but that's possible. That would be a reason why it 378 00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.000 might have powdery mildew. It could also be that what 379 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.640 we're thinking is powdery mil do something else, but for 380 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.519 powdery mildew. There are products out there that'll work. Nem 381 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.119 Oil works pretty good if the plant's not too big 382 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.039 to spray, but nemo coats the leaf and it prevents 383 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.960 it for a while, so you would have to spray 384 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.519 it regularly in order to control it. I just don't 385 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.279 think people are willing to do that much spraying with 386 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.319 For the pottery mildew, there are systemics that will shut 387 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.960 it down for longer. Why don't we do this? Why 388 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.799 don't you if you want to take a picture of it, 389 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.680 I'm going to put you on hold and my producer 390 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.400 will give you an email. Send me some close up, 391 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.119 really well focused pictures of what you think is pottery mildew, 392 00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:21.839 and that way I can comment on it and we 393 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.240 can be sure instead of me. 394 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.519 Guessing that I can try that. 395 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.319 All right, all right, well, I'm put you on hold here. 396 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.359 You bet that's what we'll try here, Alejandro, pick up? 397 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.079 You bet? Glad to do it? Glad to do it? 398 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:36.680 Uh? 399 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.880 The The folks at Nitrophiles have a number of products 400 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.920 that just works super well. What one of those is 401 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.599 a product called bugout Now bug Out Max, that's what 402 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.960 it's called. It is an insecticide that you sprinkle out 403 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:54.960 on the ground. It washes off the granules into the 404 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.720 soil surface, into the thuch area, and it does a 405 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.599 number on whatever kind of insects you've got. If we're 406 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.960 talking about fleas and ticks, if we're talking about chinchbugs, 407 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:06.839 if we're talking about caterpillars, that are it. It just 408 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.680 works well. Bug Out Max from nitrofoss is available in 409 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.039 a lot of different places. If you go to Enchinned 410 00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.440 Gardens out in Richmond Rosenberg on FM three point fifty nine, 411 00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.079 you're gonna find bug out Max. If you go to 412 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.119 Hiding and Feed on stupidor Airline, or if you go 413 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.720 to Plants Fell Seasons on two forty nine, they carry 414 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.920 nitrofoss products at all these places. And so there's just 415 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.079 an idea for you. Let's let's now go to the 416 00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.319 woodlands and we're going to talk to Huey. Hey, Huey, 417 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:34.400 Welcome to Guardline. 418 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.119 Good morning, first time caller. So I have a question. 419 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.240 I noticed my backyard have a lot of zinc hole 420 00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:47.119 slash pots that is not making a big hole, but 421 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:48.920 he just small pots everywhere. 422 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:51.400 And it's not like the. 423 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:54.119 Grass is still there, the sawds is still there, but 424 00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.119 it's like a little sink hole. So I don't know 425 00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:58.440 that's some kind of animal at the bottom that kind 426 00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:59.279 of take these holes. 427 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.319 So I don't know how big are How big are 428 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:03.680 they here? 429 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.559 I would say about about a foot a foot why 430 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.200 narrow depending when I walk through the little sink on 431 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.720 my foot. 432 00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:16.680 Yeah, you know, there's different things that can cause something 433 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:20.000 like that occasionally. You know, if you had if there 434 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.799 were a tree that had big root under the ground 435 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.720 or something, and then that tree's long gone, but now 436 00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.200 the wood is finally riding away, it'll cause there to 437 00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.400 be a soft spot that sinks down. Some kinds of 438 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:38.799 animals tunneling underneath can do that. I'm assuming you're knowing though, 439 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.759 that it's not something digging down from the top, right, 440 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.319 It's just you're just walking on normal looking ground, but 441 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.599 it's soft and sinks correct. Yeah, okay, it's gonna be 442 00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.920 one of those things. And you know that's getting outside 443 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.359 my gardening expertise to go any further than that on it. 444 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.960 But I have encountered that before for the reasons I 445 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:05.000 just mentioned, I've you know that has caused it. I 446 00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:07.799 would just say, get you a good quality kind of 447 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.039 a top soil or sandy loamy top soil, Sprinkle it 448 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:13.960 over those areas and bring that bring that soil level 449 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.799 back up, and then your grass should crawl back in 450 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.039 over that and be just fine. 451 00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:25.119 So when you say sprinkles top soil, don't even cut 452 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.920 out this on and underneath it. 453 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:28.480 Just sprinkle on top of it. 454 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.880 Yeah, I mean, that's the fastest, easiest. And if you 455 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.400 want to go in and excavate a little foot foot 456 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.519 wide circle of soid whatever it needs to be, and 457 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.680 then put some soil in there, step on the soil 458 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:44.839 to kind of press it down real good, and then 459 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.720 set your side back down on top and start watering. 460 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:50.240 You could go that route too. That's just a little 461 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.759 more work, and then you have to remember to water 462 00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.119 it regularly for the first couple of weeks to make 463 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.759 sure those roots otherwise they'll start to die back if 464 00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.279 you get the water for a couple of days. Okay. 465 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:05.799 Yeah, you could be right about the tree and with 466 00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:10.279 the old route, because I have two tall pine trees. 467 00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:11.640 They sit in the back, y'all. One of them was 468 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.279 cut and they'd been there for. 469 00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:16.519 At least twenty plus years and new grow massive, you know, 470 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.200 and the other one's still there. 471 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.240 So I'm assuming you could be right. 472 00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:22.039 You know, it's in the proximity area. 473 00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.759 Yeah, well, okay, well whatever cause did. It's easy to fix. 474 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.119 But uh appreciate you calling in. Thanks good talking about 475 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:36.559 Thank you, sir. Okay, sir, you bet, you bet. Yeah. 476 00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:39.920 It's always kind of interesting playing Colombo in the yards 477 00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.119 because it could be it could be a number of 478 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:44.359 different things. You know, it's it's hard to just say 479 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.000 for sure exactly what is causing some of these things. Hey, 480 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.240 if you haven't been done to mass nursery, go down 481 00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:54.920 right now and and check out their hardy hibiscus. The 482 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.759 hearty happened. Everybody knows about the tropical hibiscus down here. 483 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.119 Those are the gaudy ones that come and ever color 484 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.680 under the sun. I mean, they're amazing beautiful. Hardy hibiscus 485 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:08.680 typically are going to be red, white, pink, or splashed 486 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:13.279 or streaked versions of those three colors. That's their colors. 487 00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:16.319 But the blooms are huge. I mean, they're like we 488 00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.759 call them dinner plate hibiscus because they're that big. The 489 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.160 ballooms can be that big on them. Moss has got 490 00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:23.240 a great selection. A lot of the new ones coming 491 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:24.920 out from breeders now are pretty exciting. 492 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.119 You know. 493 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.839 The foliage can be kind of almost a burgundy tinted 494 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.599 green that's really gorgeous. It looks good. But moss has 495 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.079 a lot of things. They've got something called sun patients. 496 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.200 Sun patients are basically impatiens that were bred to take 497 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:46.079 more sun. Normal impatients can't take too much sun. The 498 00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:49.559 sun patients they'll grow in a shady spot. But they 499 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:51.519 also if it gets a little sunny, they can do 500 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.759 that well. And some of them are beautiful with a 501 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.119 yellow and green and the foliage and then the beautiful blooms. 502 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:01.079 Impatients are a great little plant to choose while you're there. 503 00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:05.000 If you are into house plants or succulents, they have 504 00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:08.359 an unbelievable supply. I mean they've they've got, you know, 505 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.839 like cactie, the barrel type cactie, the very upright right 506 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.119 tall types of cactie. They've got the trailing succuments, the 507 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.240 string of you fill in the blank. Moss is just 508 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.640 the place you go to find everything, the standard you know, 509 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.640 the standard things, vegetables, herbs, flower bedflowers, you know those 510 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.680 kind of things. They've got lots of that. But the unusual. 511 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.880 I love to go see some of the pottery that 512 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:35.079 they have. There's some wall planters that are just beautiful, 513 00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:38.279 like one of them almost it was like a lady's face, 514 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:40.480 but the head is kind of hollowed out up there. 515 00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:45.440 It's a ceramic talavera type, you know, with that Mexican pottery, 516 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.720 bright color patterns on it, and you plant in the 517 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:50.680 top and you just let something trail out of the 518 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.279 top of it, you know, like diicondra or silver ponyfoot 519 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:55.319 or whatever. You don't have to water it that much 520 00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:58.359 because it's a succulent. But go check out their containers 521 00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:04.559 as well. Whatever you need sun shade, dry, wet, annual, 522 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:10.440 perennial bulbs, shrubs, trees, lines, hanging baskets. They've got it 523 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.279 all there. And probably one of the most fun things 524 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:16.559 about shopping at Moss is just the fact that it's 525 00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:18.240 eight acres and every time you turn a corner you 526 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:20.599 don't know what you're gonna see, because it is the 527 00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:24.079 most eclectic nursery that I've ever seen, and it's just 528 00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:27.240 a lot of fun to go visit.

You are listening to garden 605 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:41.720 Line and I'm your host, Skip Richter. We're here to 606 00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:43.960 help you have a bountiful garden and a beautiful landscape. 607 00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:47.000 That is at least my goal wants you to have 608 00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:50.240 success with that, and part of that is taking care 609 00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:53.240 of your plants, making sure you're fertilizing them, making sure 610 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.799 that they're getting the nutrients that they need. Sometimes people 611 00:32:56.839 --> 00:33:00.519 forget and don't fertilize like they should because, yeah, there's 612 00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:02.519 not on the top of the list. The plants alive, 613 00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:05.480 it's green, it looks good. Well, when we're pushing a plant, 614 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.759 let's say, to bloom a lot. Nelson Plant Food has 615 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:11.599 a neutral star line. There's a Nutra star for bugavillia's, 616 00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:13.680 there's one for blum areas. Of course, there's one for 617 00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.279 vegetable gardens and so on. There's a Nutra star for everything. 618 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:20.279 But by pushing them along with that fertilizer at the 619 00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:23.079 right rate and good blends like Nelson knows how to make, 620 00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:29.240 you encourage leaf growth, which captures sunlight, which makes carbohydrates 621 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.920 which is required to make a bloom or a fruit 622 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.240 or whatever you're growing that plant for. But you need 623 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.960 to follow the schedule on their labels and fertilize them 624 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:42.799 periodically and keep them in a healthy state, not overfertilizing, 625 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.480 but not underfertilizing either. If you see people that, if 626 00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:48.599 you see a place and it's just like blooms everywhere, 627 00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:51.519 they're fertilizing those plants and Nelson Plant Food is an 628 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:55.000 outstanding product for that and their Nutral Star line comes 629 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:57.839 in something for just about every kind of plant that 630 00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:04.519 you might have. That is true. I am going to 631 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.599 have a guess later today from a Houston powder Coats. 632 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:11.599 Houston Powder Coaters is the largest powder coat in this region. 633 00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:14.199 And for you going, what is a powder coat, Well, 634 00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.519 it's better than painting. But stick around in the eight 635 00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:21.199 o'clock hour, we're gonna really pick their brain on what 636 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.400 is powder coating, how is it better, how's it done? 637 00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.679 And just so you understand that, because if you have 638 00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:30.039 outdoor metal that is rusting or just not looking good 639 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:33.320 faded from the sun on the paint, you got to 640 00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:37.480 give them a call.

Uh, just 643 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:48.559 stick around for this. It is going to be interesting. 644 00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:51.920 Any kind of outdoor furniture and metal and decorations and stuff. 645 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.320 They make it brand new and they make it last too. 646 00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.599 Shut down that rust fix those things they do minor 647 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:03.360 repair on furniture too, like straps and vinyl those kind 648 00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:08.039 of things.

Seven one three two one 665 00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.559 two k t r H. Seven one three two one 666 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.840 two k t r H. Let's head out to the 667 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.119 phones and we're going to go to Spring Branch and 668 00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:13.119 talk to Jim. Hello, Jim, welcome to garden Line. 669 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.800 Good morning, thanks for taking my call. 670 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:16.840 Uh. 671 00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.440 I have a question about a contry it's about sixty 672 00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:24.840 five years old. And yesterday I suddenly looked up because 673 00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:28.719 the area I normally look at. 674 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:28.639 Was just fine. 675 00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:30.519 And I look up and I see the three other 676 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.760 major branches of the tree. The leaves are all wilted 677 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.079 and they're just hanging up there. So is there some 678 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.519 disease going around killing the contrees or. 679 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:49.280 No, not not like that. So it put out leaves 680 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.119 and now the leaves are wilting, So that means something 681 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:59.719 has messed up the plumbing in that branch. So that means, well, it's. 682 00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.920 Three corners of the tree. It's three quarters of the 683 00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:05.599 tree with the same branch. I mean three major branches 684 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:09.119 going out, and I have one good branch and I 685 00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:10.639 don't see any damage. 686 00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:10.840 On it yet. 687 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:17.719 Yeah, the same thing, same answer though, So what's happening 688 00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:21.480 is water was flowing to those leaves and now it's not. 689 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.280 And so it could be borers that are in the branch, 690 00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.320 that are in the way down where the you know, wherever, 691 00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:33.000 wherever you see a healthy branch, you go, you follow 692 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:35.079 the branch out and it's got leaves. You follow the 693 00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.760 branch next to it out and it doesn't Something on 694 00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:42.719 that doesn't side is disrupting the float. It could be 695 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.719 a number of things, borers or a possibility because they 696 00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:49.320 essentially cut the plumbing tubes that are carrying the water 697 00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:53.119 up to the top. It could be a canker, a disease, 698 00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:58.280 a wound, something along those lines. Now occasionally it's it's 699 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:04.679 in the soil to a degree, an individual root. You 700 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.239 could follow its flow path all the way up to 701 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.880 a leaf. Okay, a little tiny root up all the 702 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:11.719 way up to a leaf. So if you were to 703 00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.159 go on one side of your tree and cut all 704 00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:16.760 the roots, you would see a section of that tree 705 00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:19.599 wilt immediately because it had lost all its supply of 706 00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:24.199 water for the taking to survive the next pot day. Now, 707 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:27.760 it's not necessarily right above that what you cut. Sometimes 708 00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.440 the trunk twists a little bit, and you know, the 709 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:33.320 flow isn't necessarily just straight up, but generally it is. 710 00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:35.880 So I would look at the soil too, and say, 711 00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:40.400 what has happened on the side where, in your case, 712 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.480 three fourth of it where you're seeing all of that 713 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:47.800 wilting on the branches, and just consider that. It could 714 00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:50.559 be a trench that was dug. I don't know, it 715 00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:54.519 could be other things, but something unknown at this point 716 00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.719 is affecting the plumbing, and it has happened pretty darn quick. 717 00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.960 If you're seeing that, that's Has this been going on 718 00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:03.960 for months or is this just a new thing? 719 00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:07.800 Well, I just basically noticed it in the last couple 720 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.239 of days. I saw a low wilted branch from the 721 00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:14.800 way the window is, and I thought it was just 722 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:17.719 that one branch, and I walk out and I finally 723 00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:22.280 look up and it's like, oh my goodness. Yeah, Well, 724 00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.320 think there's any possibility of saving the street or is it. 725 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:26.360 Just a goner. 726 00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:34.880 Boy wilting like you're describing. I'm I'm not positive about 727 00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:38.880 its opportunity or as chances of coming back, But I 728 00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:42.960 can't predict it. You know, I'm basically talking to you 729 00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.679 on a phone call here. I can't see the tree 730 00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:48.320 or walk around it or anything. I wasn't there the 731 00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.559 past weeks and months and stuff, and so it's really hard. 732 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:56.400 It's hard to say for sure, but these kind of 733 00:39:56.440 --> 00:40:00.719 things tend not to be just temporary. Now, if for 734 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.400 some reason that the three is sixty five years old, 735 00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.880 that's the thing that is kind of makes me not 736 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:11.480 very hopeful for it. You know, if an area got 737 00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:14.400 dry well, the roots that supply that area could start 738 00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.960 to wilt and new water and they come back. I 739 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:19.599 don't think that's the case with your tree. So that's 740 00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:27.679 leaving us with physically damaged plumbing. You know again, birrors, cankers, whatever, 741 00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:31.440 root rots, whatever, and that doesn't fix itself quick enough 742 00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:35.599 to save those branches. The demands are high, and the 743 00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:38.000 temperature is hot, and it's going to get hotter. So 744 00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:43.039 I would say unlikely, but definitely don't give up on 745 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.079 it just yet. 746 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.440 Well that's kind of what I thought she would say. 747 00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:53.320 Okay, but I think I'll watch and see what happens 748 00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:56.599 through this last branch, major branch going up. 749 00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:59.800 Okay, but yeah, if it's. 750 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:04.440 Some time and see that that isn't We're not there. 751 00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.679 There wasn't any minor lightning strike or anything else like that. 752 00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:15.079 They no, no, no, we haven't hit any Okay, strikes. 753 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:18.639 Well, I'm I'm grabbing for straws. But the bottom line is, 754 00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:21.800 speaking of straws, the straws that carry the water up, 755 00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:26.760 something something to shut that down. Pecans don't have vascular 756 00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:30.800 plumbing diseases. Some plants get bacteria in the plumbing and 757 00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:34.199 it clogs it up. And the water camp from to 758 00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:37.639 my knowledge, pecans don't have a disease like that that 759 00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:41.840 would quickly shut down a tree like yours has exhibited. 760 00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.719 Well, I thought there was something called cotton roots rots 761 00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:47.920 that barons had. 762 00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:51.719 But yes, okay, but that doesn't fit right. 763 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:56.480 They can get well, they can get root rots normally. 764 00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.880 There are several root rots that that are our plants 765 00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:05.239 and and pecans, you know, with with any kind of 766 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:09.000 thing that shuts down the roots. Now, the pattern of 767 00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:13.800 cotton root rot is somewhat similar to that. The pattern 768 00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.880 is it affects the roots on one side, and then 769 00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:23.280 as the disease progresses through the soil, it kills more 770 00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:25.119 and more. And then so you look up on the 771 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:27.760 tree and you're seeing a progression go through the tree 772 00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.360 somewhat like you're you're describing there. But you know, bottom 773 00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:37.639 line is uh, you know it. There's no control of 774 00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:39.880 that that okay. 775 00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.719 Okay, if I take this tree down, there's not a 776 00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:46.440 there's not a funge a side for for cotton. Yeah, 777 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.199 if I take this tree down, do I need since 778 00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:53.119 the cause is kind of unknown, do I need to 779 00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:58.000 just send the wood to the to the garbage side 780 00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:02.679 or is it usable or with propagated somewhere else. If 781 00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:08.199 I use the wood for barbecue or a fire or something, yeah. 782 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:12.360 I would be said, wise, No, it's not it's fine. 783 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.039 You can do that. You can do you know. And 784 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.280 the more we're talking about this, the more you know. 785 00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:20.679 I'd mentioned root rots initially, but I think that cotton 786 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:24.159 root rot is an example. It generally is a little 787 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:27.119 bit slower in progressing through a tree, but you know, 788 00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.800 those pecond limbs are up high, and we shuffle in 789 00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:31.440 and out of the house every day and don't always 790 00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:33.760 look up, so it could have been going on for 791 00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:38.880 a little longer. But anyway it is, it can affect 792 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:41.920 up the cond trees and it flat kills them. I've 793 00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:45.199 seen orchards with sections, you know, huge areas that were 794 00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:47.599 like a like someone through a fire on the ground 795 00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:50.039 and it's burning outward, you know, from there, and you 796 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:54.000 watching the trees decline in a pattern like that. And 797 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:57.800 so there's not a there's not a good solution to it, 798 00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.519 especially at this stage where three pours of the trees gone, 799 00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:02.400 and if it is cotton root rot there, it will 800 00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:07.880 not bounce back. But if you could acidify soil, you 801 00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:15.679 can help stave that off if you you know, cotton 802 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:20.960 cotton root rot likes high pH soils, and so if 803 00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:24.639 if you were it's very hard to acidify a huge 804 00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:29.199 volume of soil deep and wide and everything. But if 805 00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:33.079 if soil could be acidified, it would stave off a 806 00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:38.360 cotton root rot proliferating like that. So in case of 807 00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:41.599 your yard, that's not a solution, it's too late for that. 808 00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:44.960 But that that is about the only thing that we 809 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.719 can effectively do. We don't have a fungicide that we 810 00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:53.039 just spray on the soil and it fixes it. 811 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:57.599 Okay, Well, hey, well, thank you for appreciate it. 812 00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:00.480 Yeah, I'm sorry to be the bear about news on 813 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:03.360 this one. But if you wanted to be sure, you 814 00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:05.639 could dig up a root. You'll see on the roots 815 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:12.480 kind of a white, a whitish kind of matting underneath 816 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:14.519 the outer surface. And if you saw that and want 817 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:16.559 to send it to the lab of text A and M, 818 00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:20.360 the plant disease diagnostic lab, they could tell you, yeah, 819 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.519 that's cotton root rot or not. But I don't think 820 00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.159 that's that is not going to change anything you do 821 00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:28.239 and will not help save the tree. So but I'm 822 00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:30.920 really up against a heartbreak here, So thank you for 823 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:33.800 the call and sorry to be the bear bed news Jim. 824 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:36.599 I got to run, folks, I'll be right back. All right, 825 00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:42.199 we're back, folks, We're back. Let's talk gardening. We're going 826 00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:44.960 to head straight out to Texas City and talk to 827 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:46.719 Alan hey Ellen, welcome to guard Line. 828 00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:51.199 Good morning, Thank you, sir. My quick question is about 829 00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:55.800 my front yard. I've been following the fertilization schedule last Saturday. 830 00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:00.079 I didn't mind er June first of July application and 831 00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.760 I'm working out of town. So my wife called me yesterday, 832 00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:06.079 told me the front yard and turn yellow, and the 833 00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:08.920 second between the sidewalk and the street don got major 834 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.039 brown patch and looked like the yacht parts dead. 835 00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:13.159 So whoa. 836 00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:14.880 I'm coming home today to have about two. 837 00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:16.440 Or three hours to do something to the yard. 838 00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:18.199 Is there something you can tell me to do? 839 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:23.199 Is there any way that you could have your wife 840 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:25.559 shoot a picture over here, take one on the phone, 841 00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:27.639 email it over to the station for me to look 842 00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:32.360 at this morning. I mean, I can I can shoot 843 00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:35.199 from the hip. Okay, well I can shoot from the help, 844 00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:41.840 but yeah, ye for her, Okay, that's fine, that's fine. 845 00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:44.800 I'm just trying to help you as best I can. Uh. 846 00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:49.760 The yellow wing is basically it's usually a sign of 847 00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:53.239 an iron deficiency. But it's not because there suddenly wasn't 848 00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.239 iron in the soil. It's because roots have died most 849 00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:01.480 likely now. Roots can die from droughty conditions, they can 850 00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:04.519 die from soul compaction, they can die from take all 851 00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:06.880 root rot, which is a disease of the soil. So 852 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.719 the causes are so widespread that it's hard to give 853 00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.679 just a quick answer to that's where a photo when 854 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:17.039 you get home. If you're seeing the yellowing kind of 855 00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:20.800 erratic through the yard, like it's not just real clean 856 00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:25.360 cut here, not there, and so on. It's more just yeah, erratic, 857 00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:31.639 no pattern to it. That is probably take all root rot. 858 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:34.880 Grab a grass blade and pick it a yellow grass blade, 859 00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:36.880 and hold up the light and see if it looks 860 00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.920 like green and yellow stripes going down the grass blade, 861 00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.239 like railroad tracks running up and down the grass blade. 862 00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:46.639 If you see that, then that is an iron deficiency 863 00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:52.119 and something's wrong in the roots. If there are a 864 00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.079 couple of steps you can take. Boy, I hate to 865 00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:58.199 prescribe stuff when we haven't even yet determined for sure 866 00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:01.519 what the cause is. But in your situation, kind of 867 00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:03.000 being in the mind here, you've got a couple hours 868 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:05.679 and you got to get back out again. I would 869 00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:08.840 get a product from Fertilo that is a iron and 870 00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:13.000 other micro nutrients spray. It's a bottle. It comes a 871 00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.719 little bottle, little gray bottle, and it'll say iron and 872 00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:19.320 other micro nutrients is what's in it. And then I 873 00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.239 would get a hose en sprayer and folier. Spray the 874 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.920 grass with that, Spray the whole grass with that. I 875 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:30.000 would also get a product this is on my schedule, 876 00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:35.079 But for all the rest of you listening, I would 877 00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.800 answer this a little differently in a different situation. So 878 00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:39.719 I just don't don't assume this is my answer to 879 00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:43.079 every every take all problem. But if you wanted to 880 00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:50.079 get a product that is that contains a zoxy stroban 881 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:54.119 a z O x Y S t R O B 882 00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:58.960 I n uh. And you go to you you're in 883 00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:05.079 sugar Land, you need go over to Southwest Fertilizer. Oh, 884 00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:08.159 Texas City, Okay, Oh, I'm sorry, I'm looking at the 885 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:13.960 well an Ace Hardware store over there might have it. 886 00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.760 You may find it there. But a zoxystrobin is the 887 00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:22.360 ingredient that you need to find and you want to 888 00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:25.400 sprinkle it out. Here's the order of everything. I'm sorry 889 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:28.199 to confuse you. I'm bouncing around here. To cut out 890 00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.960 the ozoxystrobin granules. It'll be granules. You want to water 891 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:34.920 it in according to the label, and then hose in 892 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:39.360 spray the foliage of your grass because you're bypassing the 893 00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:42.400 roots to get these micro nutrients into the grass plant. 894 00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:46.320 So those that's what's within your power right now. In 895 00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:50.639 a nutshell, longer term, we need to see pictures. We 896 00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:53.000 need to know for sure what's going on. What you're 897 00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:56.960 describing doesn't sound like chinchabugs to me. It could be, 898 00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:01.000 but they tend to start like near a curve, a driveway, 899 00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:06.360 a sidewalk, something rock masonry, and they gradually move out 900 00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:09.559 into the lawn. So closest to that concrete in the sun, 901 00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:12.400 it's the deadist and then as you go out it's yellow, 902 00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:14.280 and then as you go further out it's healthy green. 903 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.280 That would be change gags, and that's a whole different thing. 904 00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:19.920 And all of these are on my schedule online at 905 00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.320 gardening with Skip dot com. So if you need to 906 00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:26.239 can't remember that as Oxystruben Later gardening with skip dot 907 00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:29.960 com find my lawn, pest, disease and weed management schedule 908 00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:34.000 and it'll tell you what to do, all right, ter fact, 909 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:35.000 mister fact. 910 00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:39.320 Ken brown patches, stuff like that be tracked in by 911 00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:42.519 someone walking across your yards. They landscapers go from yard 912 00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:44.039 to yardyard and they walk across. 913 00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:52.800 Mind, you can move diseases on equipment theoretically, you know, 914 00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:55.599 maybe a grass blade sticks to their foot and the 915 00:50:55.800 --> 00:50:58.679 spores and stuff on it come in. But that's not 916 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:01.079 the big problem. How they get there. Those diseases are 917 00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:04.840 pretty ubiquitous. And when we create the conditions they like 918 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:08.159 over fertilizing, we get a cool front coming in, we 919 00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:11.119 get some rain coming in. That's when we see, you know, 920 00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:14.519 the brown patch circles start to pop up. Okay, so it's. 921 00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:17.400 I'm just settling in a bit with my wife. 922 00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:21.280 Okay, Well, I mean, could could it happen? Yes? But 923 00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:25.239 it's the analogy I like to use for this. I'll 924 00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:27.440 just be real brief he before we go is if 925 00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:29.679 you let's say you have a shady side of your 926 00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:32.159 house and it's a brick siding, and you have a 927 00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:34.800 faucet there and water mist is spraying out of the 928 00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:38.679 faucet under the brick. Suddenly algae starts to grow. Well, 929 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:41.400 how did algae get on that brick? Well, it was 930 00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:43.719 it was in the air. It's everywhere, and you just 931 00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.239 created a nice, moist, cool environment and algae gre That's 932 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:49.679 how these diseases are. So I wouldn't worry about people 933 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:53.360 walking across the lawn being the problem. Okay, Well then 934 00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:58.159 I win in Okay, So, oh hey, I don't want 935 00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:00.800 any part of that.

Welcome to 959 00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:17.519 garden Line. 960 00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:21.119 Some morning skiff. Hope you're having a wonderful morning. Got 961 00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:24.840 a couple of questions for you. I've got a forties 962 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.480 plus year old I've been told by one of the 963 00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:31.920 tree people it's a Carolina ash. It's about old, fifty 964 00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:35.519 sixty feet tall. Last year, out of nowhere, it was 965 00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:39.599 covered with what I've been told was web worms. I 966 00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:43.320 mean they were all over the three in different areas. 967 00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:47.000 I'm literally falling from the ground and calling. My first 968 00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:49.159 question is what can I do about them, if anything 969 00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:49.519 at all? 970 00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:50.400 Uh? 971 00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:54.480 And secondly, I've discovered a grass and I don't know 972 00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:57.199 if you know. I'm in Sugarland out in near the 973 00:53:57.239 --> 00:53:58.960 southwest part of Fort Bean County. 974 00:53:59.239 --> 00:53:59.920 It's too late. 975 00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:04.599 It's popped up all over my Saint Augustine and the 976 00:54:04.679 --> 00:54:08.360 roots are really very strong. Has anyone else in what 977 00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.920 the Johnnie mentioned is this very aggressive grass? 978 00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:15.280 There are several that it could be. But tell you what, Michael, 979 00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:17.519 You take a picture of it. Take a picture of 980 00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:20.039 it in the lawn, up close, as close as you 981 00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:22.760 can get, make sure it's in focus, and then pull 982 00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:25.480 some up and set it on a like a tabletop 983 00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:28.519 surface or something where you can zoom in and everything 984 00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:31.199 I see the grass and the weed and the picture 985 00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:34.559 and instead of it being mixed among other plants. And 986 00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:36.400 let me see a picture. I'll tell you what it 987 00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:38.039 is and what to do about it. But I got 988 00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:40.039 to see a picture to do that. As far as 989 00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:44.000 the webworms are concerned, they fluctuate your ear depending on 990 00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:47.840 various conditions. Their number one enemy is paper wasps, the 991 00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:50.159 ones that build the nest under your house. They eat 992 00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:54.280 caterpillars all day long, and so you break up webs 993 00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:56.039 and they have a chance to get in. Now, if 994 00:54:56.039 --> 00:54:58.039 this is a big, big tree like you're described, and 995 00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:00.440 you can't break up the webs up there, so you're 996 00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:03.599 left with spraying. And if you catch it early on, 997 00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:07.079 early before the whole tree is covered in webs and 998 00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:10.960 has no leaves on it, and you spray the foliage, 999 00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:14.800 but once or twice a week, depending on which product 1000 00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:19.000 you use. Organic products like BT you're gonna have to 1001 00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:22.559 spraym a couple times a week, something like spinosid maybe 1002 00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:24.480 once a week, and then there are other products that 1003 00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:27.239 will last even longer than that. But if you can 1004 00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:30.079 get the spray up to the foliage when the webworms 1005 00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:32.480 start to come in and chew on it, it'll kill them. 1006 00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:36.199 But you can't get the sprays inside the webs. That's 1007 00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:38.480 why we want to do it early when the first 1008 00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:40.960 little sign of a web is occurring, because there's gonna 1009 00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:43.639 be other webworms hatching out that you don't from the ground. 1010 00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:46.320 You don't see them yet and because they haven't built 1011 00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:49.159 that web yet, so that's the only way to avoid it. 1012 00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:51.440 The other thing is do what nature does and that's 1013 00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:53.840 put up with a little bit of defoliation here and there. 1014 00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:56.880 The trees have are resilient, they'll bounce back. But if 1015 00:55:56.920 --> 00:56:01.280 you ain't pretty so those are your options. Thank you, guys. 1016 00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:03.400 But I guess, I guess basically what you see these 1017 00:56:03.400 --> 00:56:05.599 things are not something that reside in. 1018 00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:07.719 The tree over the fall or the spring. 1019 00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:11.280 They're actually coming from the ground or from caterpillars. 1020 00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:14.880 Yeah, the mothlight flies up there in lazy egg. I 1021 00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:18.360 got ten seconds. But they occur in this time of 1022 00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:20.599 the year, but they occur mostly in late summer and 1023 00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:23.639 early fall. Thanks a lot, Michael, appreciate that call. You 1024 00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:27.519 take care. I'll be right back, folks. All right, folks, 1025 00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:30.239 welcome back to the guarden line on a lovely Sunday morning. 1026 00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:32.480 Looking forward to visiting with you if you want to 1027 00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:34.360 give me a call.

Speaking of water, imagine your backyard, and 1029 00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:42.000 you got this rock patio, and right off the edge 1030 00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:45.280 of the patio is a little pond with some goldfish 1031 00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:48.639 or koy or whatever whatever you're interested in. You got 1032 00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:51.280 some lily pads with blooms coming up, other kind of 1033 00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:54.159 beautiful water plants there. Maybe there's a waterfall coming out 1034 00:56:54.159 --> 00:56:58.719 of the side of of a little stack of rocks 1035 00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:02.119 or something. You know, you get the idea.

Maybe you don't 1038 00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:11.719 want to go all that way and you just want 1039 00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:17.440 a big, beautiful ceramic glazed pottery urn with water spilling 1040 00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:20.679 over the side. It's called a disappearing fountain. They invented it, 1041 00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:23.760 and it recycles back and comes up back through the 1042 00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:29.280 middle of the big beautiful glazed pottery and birds love it. 1043 00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:31.840 Benefics of insects I like that too, by the way, 1044 00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:34.719 But you have the sound of water as you're sitting 1045 00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.519 out in the patio.

I don't 1083 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:37.519 talk about container gardening enough in my opinion, and the 1084 00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.280 reason is I don't see enough container gardening going on 1085 00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:43.559 out there. A lot of people, you know, they just 1086 00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:46.920 maybe tried containers and not had success. Well, I want 1087 00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:49.559 to give you a few tips, a few tips so 1088 00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:54.519 that you can have success with containers. Containers are great 1089 00:59:55.039 --> 01:00:00.920 for growing vegetables, for growing herbs, for growing flowers, for beauty. 1090 01:00:01.960 --> 01:00:04.440 One of the tips I would suggest is get a 1091 01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:08.119 large container. Don't just put I know you watch TV 1092 01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:11.639 in some gardening show filmed in New Jersey or northern 1093 01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:15.079 California or someplace where they don't have the summers we 1094 01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:18.159 have here. You need a large container to hold a 1095 01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:22.360 volume of soil, which holds a volume of water and nutrients, 1096 01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:24.639 so you're not water in that container three times a 1097 01:00:24.719 --> 01:00:26.760 day trying to keep the plant out of drought stress. 1098 01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:31.400 A large container. Get a quality soil blend to put 1099 01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:35.679 inside the container. You get a quality soil blend, you 1100 01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:38.320 put it in that container. A quality blend holds water 1101 01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:42.280 and nutrients well, but it also drains well. It doesn't 1102 01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:46.840 let itself become a soggy, mucky mess. It drains the 1103 01:00:46.880 --> 01:00:49.159 excess out. And by the way, a quality container has 1104 01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.920 drained a tools in the bottom too. And then you 1105 01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:53.960 put the right kinds of plants in. If it's large 1106 01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:56.440 enough container, you can do multiple plants. And there is 1107 01:00:56.559 --> 01:01:00.679 nothing more beautiful then a large container with something tall 1108 01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:03.480 coming up out of the center. You've got some things 1109 01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:05.719 filling in around the sides, and then you have some 1110 01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:09.360 things draping over a little vining, you know, pennant draping 1111 01:01:09.480 --> 01:01:12.519 plant coming over the side. That is gorgeous. And you 1112 01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:14.559 go to a good garden center and they can help 1113 01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:17.199 you find They can help you pull a selection of 1114 01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:19.559 plants that go together. You know, they need to either 1115 01:01:19.599 --> 01:01:21.480 be in the sun or the shade, depending on where 1116 01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:23.400 the container is going to be. And so your plant 1117 01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:28.079 choice needs to match that a large quality container, invest 1118 01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:32.719 in one. I know they can be expensive, but cheap 1119 01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:37.360 containers don't last, they don't look good. So once a year, 1120 01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:41.599 just once a year if that, get a nice container 1121 01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:45.440 to add a glazed pottery to add to your outdoor 1122 01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:48.239 living area, and I'm telling you you will enjoy it 1123 01:01:48.280 --> 01:01:52.719 for decades. They last, quality soil to go in them, 1124 01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:56.039 and then the right grouping of plants for the location. 1125 01:01:56.599 --> 01:01:59.039 You can have containers beautifying your shade. You can have 1126 01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:03.840 containers beautifying the sunny spots, but have some Now. One 1127 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:06.079 additional thing that I would add if you want to 1128 01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:08.920 make it easier for yourself, a little drip irrigation system. 1129 01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:10.559 It could be something you hook to the garden hose 1130 01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:13.280 with a little timer on it that goes along and 1131 01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:15.280 has a tube that goes in each of your containers, 1132 01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:19.280 whether they're hanging baskets underneath an arbor, or whether they're 1133 01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:22.519 container sitting out on the patio, that comes on and 1134 01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:25.000 waters them all for you. If you get too many containers, 1135 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:26.760 you spend a lot of your day run around water 1136 01:02:26.800 --> 01:02:28.559 in them all. You don't need to do that. A 1137 01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:32.360 little drip system makes it essentially fool proof. So those 1138 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:35.159 are some tips, but we need more containers. They are 1139 01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:38.800 so versatile, they're so beautiful, they're so useful. We should 1140 01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:42.920 be trying more of them. If you are looking for 1141 01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:48.719 renovating your deck, making it pretty, keeping it in good shape, 1142 01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:51.559 all of those kinds of things, ACE Hardware has got 1143 01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:54.280 you covered. They have the kinds of things you need 1144 01:02:54.519 --> 01:02:59.880 to make that deck would last, the seedlings, the stain, 1145 01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.719 and all kinds of other things. Take a look at 1146 01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:04.599 your deck. Don't let it get too far along because 1147 01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:06.599 as it declines, next thing you know, it's going to 1148 01:03:06.599 --> 01:03:08.519 start to decay.

Let's head out now to Magnoia 1164 01:03:57.119 --> 01:03:59.159 and we're going to do it with Joel. Hello, Joel, 1165 01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:02.320 Welcome to garden Line marrin Skip. 1166 01:04:02.360 --> 01:04:02.800 How are you doing? 1167 01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:05.760 I'm well, how can we help? 1168 01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:07.960 I sent some. 1169 01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:11.679 Email in with some pictures of the Japanese maple. I've 1170 01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:14.320 got two Japanese from Aple, once healthy. They were planted 1171 01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:20.679 all about twenty years ago, and one is shedding, lease dying. 1172 01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:24.360 I've I've been taking off branches as they get brittle, 1173 01:04:24.960 --> 01:04:26.679 they got bones of them. I leave them there so 1174 01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:29.159 I get some growth that is starting to come back. 1175 01:04:29.199 --> 01:04:31.920 And I sent a picture of the healthy one to 1176 01:04:31.960 --> 01:04:33.719 show you what that looks like and what the root 1177 01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:37.639 area looks like. They both looked the same, So I 1178 01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:39.440 just want to hit not any ideas of how to 1179 01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:40.039 treat that. 1180 01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:43.440 I'd hate to lose it. Yeah, well, you've got them 1181 01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:45.079 in a good setting. They like to be in a 1182 01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:47.760 partial sun, a good light, and everything like that. The 1183 01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:50.519 one that's dying seems to be dying primarily at the 1184 01:04:50.559 --> 01:04:53.880 top and on one side, that is probably something going 1185 01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:56.199 wrong down in the root system, and I can't tell 1186 01:04:56.199 --> 01:04:59.639 you what that is, but something is not right in 1187 01:04:59.679 --> 01:05:02.039 the room over on that side. Check the trunk of 1188 01:05:02.079 --> 01:05:04.679 the dead branches, follow them down to where they attached 1189 01:05:04.719 --> 01:05:10.000 to living branches, and see if you notice any borer holes, sawdust, 1190 01:05:10.159 --> 01:05:13.960 or any other sign of that going on. That would 1191 01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:18.679 be the next step to looking at it. Overall, the 1192 01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:20.880 root system looks good. I would throw a lot of 1193 01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:24.000 multch over it, though it helps cut on on weeds 1194 01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:28.159 and Japanese maple loves to be in a forest floor environment. 1195 01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:33.000 Decomposing rotting leaves and organic matter on the surface. Those 1196 01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:36.280 are all in your power. A little boost of fertilizer 1197 01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:40.440 wouldn't hurt. You could certainly do that. And the only 1198 01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:43.199 other symptom I see is the tip burn on the leaves, 1199 01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:46.280 and that just means water and nutrients aren't making it 1200 01:05:46.480 --> 01:05:49.960 fully up there to supply the demands of the plant. 1201 01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:53.320 When you see the tips of margins burning, So that's 1202 01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:55.360 my quick answer. If you want to delve into it 1203 01:05:55.400 --> 01:05:57.360 any further, I'm gonna have to take a little break here, 1204 01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:01.159 but we can come back and can you. But that's 1205 01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:03.239 pretty much just I think of. 1206 01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:05.679 Yeah, I've been spraying with the polioge spray and then 1207 01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:10.079 with micro life sea ocean spray or ocean sea whatever 1208 01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:13.039 it is. The yeah, yeah, yeah, let's spraying that in 1209 01:06:13.079 --> 01:06:16.320 the polage and then drenched around it. So continue that 1210 01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:16.960 way then. 1211 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:21.039 Yeah, yeah, make sure the sol stays moderately moist, fertilized 1212 01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:24.199 moderately most of that soil, and I think you set 1213 01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:26.599 it up for its best chance of success. But check 1214 01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:29.159 for boards and other things. Thanks, thanks a lot, Jarl. 1215 01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:31.880 I appreciate, appreciate your call. We're gonna take a little 1216 01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.119 break here. When we come back, Paul in Alabama, you'll 1217 01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:38.360 be our first job, all right, Welcome back to guarden Line. 1218 01:06:39.199 --> 01:06:42.800 Glad you with us today. Let's hit out here to Troy, Alabama. 1219 01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:45.320 We're going to talk to Paul this morning. Hello Paul, 1220 01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:46.760 welcome to garden Line. 1221 01:06:47.679 --> 01:06:48.679 How are you this morning? 1222 01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:51.320 I'm doing good, doing good. 1223 01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:53.679 Got a question for you, Well, one time you was 1224 01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:56.719 telling somebody how to use the Facebook to take a 1225 01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:01.400 picture of grass of flowers? Is that on your website anywhere? 1226 01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:11.079 Not Facebook? Use your cell phone? But I suppose there's 1227 01:07:11.079 --> 01:07:13.079 a way to take pictures of the Facebook, but I 1228 01:07:13.719 --> 01:07:15.079 don't do it, so I don't. 1229 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:16.920 That's good. 1230 01:07:16.960 --> 01:07:20.480 I have the phone there and I was thinking for 1231 01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:25.280 Saint Augustine grass and it come up buffalo grass. Are 1232 01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:27.000 you familiar with buffalo grash? 1233 01:07:28.039 --> 01:07:30.440 Yes? I am? Are you? Are you? Are you taking 1234 01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:33.079 this picture in Troy, Alabama? 1235 01:07:33.440 --> 01:07:34.559 In Troy, Alabama? 1236 01:07:34.639 --> 01:07:40.199 Yes? Uh, there's there's very unlikely that it's buffalo grass 1237 01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:44.119 in Troy, Alabama, unless somebody had side shipped over and 1238 01:07:44.159 --> 01:07:47.360 planted it in their yard or something. But I think 1239 01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:52.360 you know the problem with those planet identification things is 1240 01:07:52.519 --> 01:07:55.400 they can be really wrong sometimes. But if you want 1241 01:07:55.440 --> 01:07:57.840 to send me a picture of it with something to 1242 01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:01.679 show size or scale, put a pencil or a ruler 1243 01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:04.840 or your hand in there in the picture. I can 1244 01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:06.920 tell you if if it's buffalo grass or not. 1245 01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:08.800 Okay. 1246 01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:12.880 One other question this time of year, does Saint Augustine 1247 01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:14.760 Grace have pod seats on top of it? 1248 01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:21.600 Seedheads? Yes, it can not. All varieties are as likely 1249 01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:24.359 to put on seed pod seedheads. The old common Saint 1250 01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:27.479 Augustine does it a lot, But in the last few 1251 01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:30.079 weeks and several yards, I've seen a seedhead or two 1252 01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:31.359 here and there, but not a lot. 1253 01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:35.399 Okay, well, I was just curious and that's what I'll 1254 01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:37.920 come up as buffalo grass, and I was almost sure 1255 01:08:37.960 --> 01:08:40.880 it was Saint Augustine, but we. 1256 01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:45.479 Yeah, no, buff yeah, buffalo grass. Seedheads are very tiny 1257 01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:48.119 and skinny. They don't look at anything like those big 1258 01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:50.640 flat things that come up out of Saint Augustine. Not 1259 01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:54.359 any work close, but hey, thanks for the call, Paul. 1260 01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:59.800 I do appreciate that call back anytime, you bet. Identifying 1261 01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:02.680 gas is kind of an interesting thing. There's a lot 1262 01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:04.319 of ways we do that. Sometimes you have to get 1263 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:06.680 down to the point of a microscope, not a microscope, 1264 01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:11.319 a very good hand lens, looking at the hairs where 1265 01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:15.880 the grass leaf attaches to the stem. How about that 1266 01:09:16.319 --> 01:09:19.560 for identification. They're these little hairs or something called leaguals too. 1267 01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:21.319 I'm not going to nerd out on you. I'll stop that. 1268 01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:26.000 But anyway, trying to identify between's so many, many, many, 1269 01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:29.119 many many kinds of grass out there. Grass is out 1270 01:09:29.159 --> 01:09:31.720 there that it takes a little bit of time. Sometimes 1271 01:09:31.760 --> 01:09:34.199 to figure out exactly which one it is. But most 1272 01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:36.520 of the ones you're dealing with. If it's a sod 1273 01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:39.279 a lawn grass, that's easy. I can just look at 1274 01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:41.880 it and tell you without getting close. If it is 1275 01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:45.800 a weed, probably easy if you send me a good 1276 01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.840 sharp picture where I can see the grass itself and 1277 01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:53.279 its growth habit. If you you know the summertimes when 1278 01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:57.000 I'm always on my schedule, it's all about slow release fertilizers, 1279 01:09:57.039 --> 01:09:59.920 you know, fertilized now with something that's going to laugh 1280 01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:02.840 for a long time and carry all the way to fall. 1281 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:05.359 That's simple, that's easy. You do it once you're done. 1282 01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:07.399 But there's times when you want to just give your 1283 01:10:07.399 --> 01:10:10.199 grass a little quick boost. And Sweet Green is an 1284 01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:13.479 organic plant food from Nitrofoss that does that. My neighbor 1285 01:10:13.520 --> 01:10:15.960 puts them out. I think I mentioned this before. He 1286 01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:17.920 puts them out this year, and we were talking across 1287 01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:20.039 the fence the other day and he was like, man, 1288 01:10:20.279 --> 01:10:24.920 that grass looks great. That stuff works. Yes, it does work. 1289 01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:28.279 Sweet Green is an eleven percent nitrogen organic, one of 1290 01:10:28.319 --> 01:10:31.279 the highest analyzes for an organic plant food. You're going 1291 01:10:31.319 --> 01:10:35.159 to find smells wonderful. That's part of the name sweet Grain, 1292 01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:37.359 so you can put it in the back of your car. 1293 01:10:37.439 --> 01:10:39.199 I jokingly say, when you buy a bag of it 1294 01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:40.520 and throw it in your car, you can want to 1295 01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:43.239 drive around loops six' ten an extra trip or two 1296 01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:45.920 before you go, home just to enjoy the. Smell, okay that's, 1297 01:10:46.039 --> 01:10:49.800 ridiculous but it makes a. Point put it, down water it, 1298 01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:53.239 in and watch you turn. Green don't overdo. It you, 1299 01:10:53.279 --> 01:10:55.720 know we don't want to create a lot of top 1300 01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:57.920 growth at the expensive root growth this time of.

Time it's not that difficult to. Do 1364 01:14:39.800 --> 01:14:45.560 by the, WAY i just wanted to mention the fact 1365 01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:48.800 that fire ants seem to be just or are just 1366 01:14:48.840 --> 01:14:52.640 an ongoing. Problem remember when you're going after, fireance you 1367 01:14:52.680 --> 01:14:56.640 got two. Options you can do an individual mound treatment 1368 01:14:56.880 --> 01:15:00.760 to kill the answer are there right, now or you 1369 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:06.520 can do a bait treatment that reaches the whole area 1370 01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:08.960 and mounds you don't even see the bait. Gets AND 1371 01:15:08.960 --> 01:15:12.000 i would recommend bait treatments in. General there's a lot 1372 01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:14.159 of baits on the. Market they each have their own 1373 01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:17.279 way of, working specifically different chemicals that are in them 1374 01:15:17.319 --> 01:15:20.479 that do, this but they are super low in. Toxicity 1375 01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:23.039 and here is. Why if you had a very strong 1376 01:15:23.079 --> 01:15:25.800 insecticide that when littlelap picked up the granule to take it. 1377 01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:28.239 Home it killed. It, well they would never make it 1378 01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:29.840 to the mound to kill the queen and all. 1379 01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:30.199 The rest of. 1380 01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:33.520 Them so these are very, low low low, doses and 1381 01:15:33.560 --> 01:15:36.000 they're put out at very, low low low, amounts like 1382 01:15:36.159 --> 01:15:39.800 one pound of bait per acre of ground your yard 1383 01:15:39.800 --> 01:15:43.279 probably an. Acre and so it doesn't take much at 1384 01:15:43.319 --> 01:15:46.279 all to do. This it's a granule, here a granule. 1385 01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:48.640 There don't dump them on the, mound spread them. Out 1386 01:15:48.720 --> 01:15:50.680 ants will be out looking for. Them if you don't 1387 01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:52.560 know if answer out or. Not by the, way they 1388 01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:54.720 tend to be out at the milder parts of the 1389 01:15:54.800 --> 01:15:58.039 day during, summertime the heat of the day not as, 1390 01:15:58.119 --> 01:16:01.479 much but they're. Out you can throw a potato, chip 1391 01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:04.840 anything oily protein and a tuna fish can, lid you, 1392 01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:08.319 know a couple of freedom on the. Ground if they're 1393 01:16:08.359 --> 01:16:10.159 out and, about they're going to find. It come back 1394 01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:12.840 fifty minutes. Later if their ants all over it time to. 1395 01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:15.920 TREAT i like to cut hot dogs up into little little, 1396 01:16:16.520 --> 01:16:20.079 sections like a quarter. Inch and you know those wireflags 1397 01:16:20.279 --> 01:16:22.760 that they, use like to mark an irrigation line or. 1398 01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:24.920 Something you get one of those and stick it on 1399 01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:26.439 the hot dog and stick it in the. Ground that, 1400 01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:28.359 way you can find your little hot dog out there 1401 01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:30.880 in the middle of the yard and you come back to, 1402 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:32.560 it and, boy if their ants are out and about, 1403 01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:35.199 foraging they'll be all over that hot. Dog it's funny 1404 01:16:35.239 --> 01:16:37.640 how they line up. Too it's kind of. Cool. Anyway 1405 01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:41.600 that means it's time to. Bait bait, baits suppress the 1406 01:16:41.640 --> 01:16:44.960 mounds you don't even see. Yet so that is the 1407 01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:50.520 most environmentally sound way to do. It in, fact if 1408 01:16:50.600 --> 01:16:53.279 you think about, it with a bait type of an, 1409 01:16:53.319 --> 01:17:00.079 application you're going to be able to avoid mounds that 1410 01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:05.439 are not currently visible and. Present just doing individual mound 1411 01:17:05.479 --> 01:17:08.680 treatments only is playing whack a mole with fire. ANTS 1412 01:17:08.760 --> 01:17:10.920 a mound pops, up you treat, it but what you 1413 01:17:10.960 --> 01:17:13.079 don't see is a mound over there to the side 1414 01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:16.359 that is forming underground but hasn't if you will boiled 1415 01:17:16.439 --> 01:17:18.520 up to the surface sort, of you know with that 1416 01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:20.199 that pile of dirt coming up out of the. Ground, 1417 01:17:20.640 --> 01:17:24.159 uh and and so individual mound treatments have their. Place you, 1418 01:17:24.199 --> 01:17:26.079 know you need to do something. Fast you want to 1419 01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:28.279 get rid of. Them you want To you got a 1420 01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.600 party coming up tonight or tomorrow or it depends on 1421 01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:32.840 which product you use for. It you can get rid 1422 01:17:32.840 --> 01:17:36.479 of them, fast but the bait should be the foundation 1423 01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:38.880 of what you. Do bottom. Line that's a Bottom and 1424 01:17:38.920 --> 01:17:40.800 by the, way if you are one hundred percent ORGANIC 1425 01:17:41.159 --> 01:17:43.600 u there is a bait called come And Get it 1426 01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:48.800 By Fertile home that is spinosid and organic.

IT i think it's called preen that 1439 01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:36.520 you shake it out of the container onto your flower, 1440 01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:40.279 beds and it is a pre emergent that's labeled for flower. 1441 01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:42.359 BEDS a lot of our lawn pre emergence are not 1442 01:18:42.520 --> 01:18:45.920 labeled for flower beds and. Gardens. Uh BUT i don't 1443 01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:48.399 do that in my vegetable. GARDEN i just you, KNOW 1444 01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:50.600 i work up the, SOIL i get my planting, ready 1445 01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:53.960 and THEN i molted really, heavily AND i just don't 1446 01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:57.600 find a pre. Emergent Plus i'm always moving soil, around digging, 1447 01:18:57.680 --> 01:19:00.960 up you, know planting, seeds putting in, transplants and so 1448 01:19:01.039 --> 01:19:05.960 that breaks that force, field that surface covering of the 1449 01:19:05.960 --> 01:19:09.760 pre emergent that prevents wheat seeds from coming. Through and 1450 01:19:09.840 --> 01:19:12.720 SO i just find THAT i would rather just use 1451 01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:17.039 mulches to do, that but you might, It, yeah, good 1452 01:19:17.079 --> 01:19:19.199 a good thick. Multch and when a weed comes up 1453 01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:21.720 and it's, young you, know just catching it. Early i'll 1454 01:19:21.720 --> 01:19:24.199 do some just a little quick hampulling here and. There 1455 01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:26.960 But i've GOT i have four beds right now that 1456 01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:30.039 are that are, open and they are like three feet 1457 01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:32.359 wide and twenty feet, long and there's probably four weeds 1458 01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:35.039 Because i've just kept it. Covered every TIME i mow 1459 01:19:35.119 --> 01:19:37.319 the grass and it's a little, TALL i take the 1460 01:19:37.319 --> 01:19:39.560 clippings over there and shake them on the soil surface 1461 01:19:40.039 --> 01:19:41.960 down those. Beds so When i'm ready to, PLAN i 1462 01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:44.319 can pull it back and go to. Town that's the best. 1463 01:19:44.399 --> 01:19:47.000 Way and that's what nature. Does nature drops organic matter 1464 01:19:47.000 --> 01:19:48.079 on the soil to block weed. 1465 01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:52.680 Seeds And i'm as you, Said i'm changing and replanting 1466 01:19:53.520 --> 01:19:55.840 all the, time so it would disturb that pre. 1467 01:19:55.880 --> 01:19:56.720 EMERGENT i see. 1468 01:19:56.760 --> 01:20:00.640 That, okay, yeah yeah it. Does it's just not really 1469 01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:02.439 practical in a vegetable. 1470 01:20:02.479 --> 01:20:05.119 Garden, okay, buddy thank, you. 1471 01:20:06.920 --> 01:20:09.840 All, right thanks for the. Question appreciate that very. Much 1472 01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:13.159 good to have you call. Yeap that is? IT i 1473 01:20:13.359 --> 01:20:18.159 just you, know in vegetable, fields, farmers, growers they use 1474 01:20:18.279 --> 01:20:20.199 they have pre emergence for what they. Do but they're 1475 01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:22.359 going in, there they're plowing the, field they're getting their 1476 01:20:22.399 --> 01:20:24.880 plants in and stuff and putting the pre emergent, down 1477 01:20:26.119 --> 01:20:29.039 but not a whole, lot not a whole, Lot and 1478 01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:31.880 in a vegetable, GARDEN i just don't think it's practical 1479 01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:41.439 to do. That the product that let's see what WAS i, oh, 1480 01:20:41.520 --> 01:20:45.159 yeah we were talking about the different ingredients and. Stuff 1481 01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:48.000 there are some ingredients that aren't so available on the 1482 01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:51.159 home garden shelf that would be, available you, know commercially 1483 01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:53.800 that people could use but, hey the WAY i look 1484 01:20:53.840 --> 01:20:59.920 at this is probably most of the GARDENING i do 1485 01:21:00.439 --> 01:21:03.640 you would costfi as organic. Gardening there are times WHEN 1486 01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:06.560 i need to do something, different AND i will there 1487 01:21:06.560 --> 01:21:11.239 are times for, Everything BUT i don't just treat things 1488 01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:14.439 organic or synthetic products WHEN i don't need. TO i 1489 01:21:14.479 --> 01:21:18.039 try to avoid. That it cost, money takes. TIME i 1490 01:21:18.079 --> 01:21:20.680 don't want to spend my saturdays mixing up smelly water 1491 01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:24.199 to spray on plants to kill. Bugs i'd rather enjoy 1492 01:21:24.239 --> 01:21:27.640 my garden out there at that. Time so there's a 1493 01:21:27.640 --> 01:21:30.079 lot of things we can do culturally to manage pass 1494 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:34.159 the things we do to avoid pass resistant, varieties don't 1495 01:21:34.199 --> 01:21:37.680 do things that help increase disease and pest. Problems and 1496 01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:41.720 when it comes to a vegetable, garden my, gosh mulch 1497 01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:44.039 is so. Available you grow it at your. House by the, 1498 01:21:44.079 --> 01:21:46.399 WAY i don't know your grass clippings are mult your 1499 01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:49.640 leaves shredded and caught in a lawnmower bag or, mulch 1500 01:21:50.479 --> 01:21:53.199 AND i just stockpile those things and use them all. 1501 01:21:53.279 --> 01:21:58.359 Year and then there's wonderful store bat mulches.

Line we're gonna head back out on 1521 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:02.399 the phone. Now talk To jimmy And. Conro, So, jimmy 1522 01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:04.239 you've got a you won't know how often can you 1523 01:23:04.239 --> 01:23:07.000 put up bug out max from night? Foss and you. 1524 01:23:07.039 --> 01:23:09.520 Can you shouldn't need to do it more than once 1525 01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:13.720 in a. Month it. WORKS i mean it goes down 1526 01:23:13.760 --> 01:23:17.359 there and lasts and does its. JOB i generally would 1527 01:23:17.399 --> 01:23:19.640 say once in a summer is all it should. Take 1528 01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:22.840 but if you needed to reapply it later, sometime that's. 1529 01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:25.920 Fine we have different times that we're. Applying for, example 1530 01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:28.920 maybe you're doing an early treatment for grubs and then 1531 01:23:29.039 --> 01:23:31.560 a month later you've got chinchbug showing, up and so 1532 01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:34.840 you have to do it again for, That and so 1533 01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:37.680 that's kind of how often you might apply. It as 1534 01:23:37.680 --> 01:23:42.399 far as your tree dropping, leaves red buds are not 1535 01:23:42.600 --> 01:23:45.760 super long lived, trees and they do have issues that come. 1536 01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:48.319 Up and AS i think you mentioned jerisels a few 1537 01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:54.079 years in, there and so it's not unusual for a hot, weather, 1538 01:23:54.359 --> 01:23:58.560 drought any kind of a root, damage things like that 1539 01:23:58.680 --> 01:24:01.239 to affect. It you see and. Browning if you see 1540 01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:04.640 browning on the edges and tip of the, leaf that's 1541 01:24:04.640 --> 01:24:08.000 a sign of a plumbing, problem meaning water is not 1542 01:24:08.119 --> 01:24:10.039 getting to the leaf and that could be due to 1543 01:24:10.159 --> 01:24:13.680 lack of water in the soil or something like a 1544 01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:17.520 borer blocking cutting the tubes that flow that water up 1545 01:24:17.560 --> 01:24:20.319 to the. Top it could be one of those. Things 1546 01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:24.800 can you describe what the leaves look like that you 1547 01:24:24.840 --> 01:24:27.920 were taken into the to the office for them to look. 1548 01:24:27.960 --> 01:24:33.880 At, well they'll turn you, know, yellow and you, know 1549 01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:38.199 different shades of, yellow and then, EVENTUALLY i mean they 1550 01:24:38.359 --> 01:24:40.039 just dry up and they'll be. 1551 01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:46.359 Brown, okay, Solved no sign of. 1552 01:24:46.439 --> 01:24:54.680 That, yeah, well anything done around that redbud tree trenching 1553 01:24:56.000 --> 01:24:58.520 and you, know anything done over the soil or in 1554 01:24:58.600 --> 01:25:01.399 the soil or to the roots or that you can think. 1555 01:25:01.399 --> 01:25:09.239 Of, NO i use that nitroposs what is that fifteen nine, ten, 1556 01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:11.319 yeah fifteen. 1557 01:25:11.359 --> 01:25:15.880 Five huh the red bag The Imperial, YEAH i use. It, 1558 01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:16.760 yeah that's good. 1559 01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:29.920 Our fall of their spreading flation. Program, yeah never, heard no, Problem, no, never, No, 1560 01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:32.039 no that's not a that's not the, problem that's for. 1561 01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:37.439 Sure but when is your red butd tree growing in 1562 01:25:37.520 --> 01:25:39.840 the turf where grass is grown up to the, trunk 1563 01:25:39.960 --> 01:25:44.199 or is it in a flower bed with. Mulch it's 1564 01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:51.199 in the, Turf, Okay sometimes as you mow around it 1565 01:25:51.319 --> 01:25:53.960 or weed eat around, it you nick the, bark and 1566 01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:57.760 when that wound, occurs you can get a disease that, 1567 01:25:57.880 --> 01:26:01.399 attacks as we call them, cankers that attack and kill 1568 01:26:01.439 --> 01:26:04.520 some of that. Tissue and that might have been a 1569 01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:07.319 factor in. THERE i don't know that it, is BUT 1570 01:26:07.720 --> 01:26:10.520 i always like to see a nice mulched area around. 1571 01:26:10.560 --> 01:26:14.039 Trees they're happier with. IT i would, say right, now 1572 01:26:14.079 --> 01:26:16.439 about all that's in your. Power if you've, done if 1573 01:26:16.479 --> 01:26:19.279 you've done the when was the last time you used 1574 01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:20.680 that nine, five, fifteen five to? 1575 01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:25.479 Ten let's see it's probably around. 1576 01:26:25.560 --> 01:26:29.640 May, okay, well you're good to go on. That that 1577 01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:33.239 tree doesn't need any more. Fertilizing just make sure it 1578 01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:36.399 doesn't lack for. Water that's what's within your. Power look 1579 01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:40.680 for sawdust or holes around the tree, anywhere AND i 1580 01:26:40.680 --> 01:26:42.720 think you've done that, already but keep keep an eye 1581 01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:46.279 out for. That and look for sunken spots on the 1582 01:26:46.279 --> 01:26:48.880 bark where maybe a canker has killed the bark underneath 1583 01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:51.000 and it's kind of sinking in a little. Bit there's 1584 01:26:51.039 --> 01:26:53.600 not a spray for. Those but we're just trying to 1585 01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:56.279 figure out how old did you say it? Was did 1586 01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:57.039 you say fifteen? 1587 01:26:57.119 --> 01:26:59.279 Years be at least fifteen? 1588 01:26:59.359 --> 01:27:04.880 Years, okay, Yeah so it is a beautiful. TREE i 1589 01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:08.880 wish they lived more dependably, longer but sometimes they run into. 1590 01:27:08.880 --> 01:27:12.239 Problems but that's about ALL i can tell you without 1591 01:27:12.319 --> 01:27:16.560 actually seeing samples in my. Hand, Jimmy, WELL i appreciate you. 1592 01:27:17.279 --> 01:27:22.039 Day thank, you you too appreciate that very. Much let's 1593 01:27:22.079 --> 01:27:24.720 go To oakbury and talk To. Lee, Now, Hello, lee 1594 01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:29.399 welcome to Garden. Line Fine. SKIP i have a banana. 1595 01:27:29.520 --> 01:27:35.399 Tree it's about fifteen sixteen inches. STALL i was wondering 1596 01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:38.479 what kind of soil WOULD i put it? 1597 01:27:38.520 --> 01:27:42.239 In are you putting it in a pot or are 1598 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:45.159 you going to put it in the. GROUND i was 1599 01:27:45.199 --> 01:27:47.560 thinking about putting it in a. Pot which would do 1600 01:27:47.600 --> 01:27:51.520 you think it'd be? Better, well it'd be better in 1601 01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:54.439 the ground because it has access to a lot more 1602 01:27:54.479 --> 01:27:57.920 soil and moisture and. Nutrients you can grow a banana 1603 01:27:57.920 --> 01:28:00.520 and a. Pot you just have to be extra careful 1604 01:28:00.640 --> 01:28:06.840 to do small doses a fertilizer regularly and to water almost, 1605 01:28:06.960 --> 01:28:09.840 daily you, know keeping that thing in its best. Shape 1606 01:28:10.439 --> 01:28:13.079 the bigger the pot are, better the pot will. Better 1607 01:28:13.239 --> 01:28:17.560 thing that restricts its growth better in the. Ground if 1608 01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:20.840 you can find a kind of a protected, spot you, 1609 01:28:20.880 --> 01:28:23.159 know maybe on the south side of your house or 1610 01:28:23.199 --> 01:28:25.600 something under the eaves or near the eaves or, whatever 1611 01:28:25.920 --> 01:28:28.720 where it's a little protected from the coldest. Wind that, 1612 01:28:28.800 --> 01:28:32.000 way maybe you'll get one of those trunks to survive 1613 01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:33.840 through the winter and you can have a crop of 1614 01:28:33.840 --> 01:28:37.000 bananas the next.

It and the fast 1787 01:37:59.439 --> 01:38:04.119 answer is you use a product Like sedgehammer that's one 1788 01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:07.399 brand of the, ingredient but by publication gives you other, 1789 01:38:07.439 --> 01:38:11.399 brands and you do it every time a nutsedge plant 1790 01:38:11.439 --> 01:38:13.560 is up and has three to five, leaves and you 1791 01:38:13.680 --> 01:38:15.560 never let it up for. Air you do. Not if 1792 01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:17.840 you let it come up and have five leaves or 1793 01:38:17.880 --> 01:38:21.600 more and keep, growing it's making daughter plants and you 1794 01:38:21.680 --> 01:38:24.359 are probably have eight times the nut said you had 1795 01:38:24.840 --> 01:38:27.840 if you had treated it.

Done. 1873 01:43:01.920 --> 01:43:04.760 NOW i, UH i was just talking about a product 1874 01:43:04.800 --> 01:43:08.319 called sedge, hammer you, know for the nuts edge with 1875 01:43:08.359 --> 01:43:13.039 the previous.

Times but there is 1878 01:43:17.760 --> 01:43:22.159 a product called image for nut. Sedge there's more than 1879 01:43:22.159 --> 01:43:24.680 one thing called. Image. Image you want the one that 1880 01:43:24.760 --> 01:43:27.640 says image for. Nutsedge even though this is a nuts 1881 01:43:27.680 --> 01:43:32.399 edge and it will kill kylinga, species follow the label, 1882 01:43:32.439 --> 01:43:35.479 carefully but it's only going to kill that one type 1883 01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:38.840 of grassy looking stice actually not a.

Moarning hey got a. 2003 01:50:08.760 --> 01:50:12.079 Question i've got a plumb, clock uh a tree THAT 2004 01:50:12.119 --> 01:50:15.199 i planted about three months ago and to my, surprise 2005 01:50:15.279 --> 01:50:20.880 it produced six, plums but it since has recently started 2006 01:50:21.119 --> 01:50:22.239 just leave is shriveling? 2007 01:50:22.359 --> 01:50:24.159 Up AND i know we've been getting a lot of. 2008 01:50:24.239 --> 01:50:24.760 RAIN i don't know. 2009 01:50:24.760 --> 01:50:27.000 If that's the, calls but just a little. Concerned maybe 2010 01:50:27.039 --> 01:50:32.600 WHAT i might, Do, uh give me a little more 2011 01:50:32.600 --> 01:50:33.920 information on the shriveling. 2012 01:50:34.000 --> 01:50:37.880 Up what are you, saying, uh just just to leave 2013 01:50:38.000 --> 01:50:42.399 themselves or are OR i, MEAN i don't, KNOW i 2014 01:50:42.479 --> 01:50:45.399 better say than shriveling? Up they're just are they are they? 2015 01:50:45.479 --> 01:50:49.720 Welting are they getting? Yes are they getting? Dry or? Okay? 2016 01:50:49.920 --> 01:50:54.640 No so kind of a, Okay, uh that's a plumbing 2017 01:50:55.000 --> 01:51:00.560 problem and so water is having a problem somewhere between 2018 01:51:00.680 --> 01:51:02.680 the end of the tip of the root and getting 2019 01:51:02.680 --> 01:51:05.720 to that. Leaf that could mean a root. Rot it 2020 01:51:05.720 --> 01:51:08.640 could mean soggy wet water that is like a clay, 2021 01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:12.520 soil a poor. Drainage roots can't get. Oxygen that causes. 2022 01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:15.399 Problems it could be a root. Rot it could be 2023 01:51:15.520 --> 01:51:19.920 a borer or a canker that's affecting the stem of 2024 01:51:19.960 --> 01:51:22.560 the plant somewhere along the. Way SO i would look for, 2025 01:51:22.680 --> 01:51:24.840 HOLES i would look for. SAWDUST i would look for, 2026 01:51:24.960 --> 01:51:29.199 sap gummy sap coming out of the plumb cut somewhere 2027 01:51:29.199 --> 01:51:32.239 on the. Branches those are indications of the sap is 2028 01:51:32.279 --> 01:51:35.359 an indication of a, Canker and any of those things 2029 01:51:35.560 --> 01:51:38.399 will cause the wilting because it just shuts down the 2030 01:51:38.399 --> 01:51:42.600 water supply to that. Leaf so it's gonna be something 2031 01:51:42.640 --> 01:51:46.640 along those. Lines are you noticing it pretty evenly around 2032 01:51:46.680 --> 01:51:50.239 the tree or is it just one branch? Primarily, no 2033 01:51:50.359 --> 01:51:55.119 it's the whole. Tree the whole tree not. Good, WELL 2034 01:51:58.159 --> 01:52:00.640 i don't know the. SETTING i don't know you're, oil you, 2035 01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:02.800 know if it's a low lying area or well drained or. 2036 01:52:02.800 --> 01:52:07.840 Whatever BUT i would dig down about six. Clay, okay 2037 01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:10.479 that could be part of. It how long has that 2038 01:52:10.479 --> 01:52:15.479 tree been in the ground three, Months, okay so it 2039 01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:20.119 still has a very confined root. System dig down around 2040 01:52:20.159 --> 01:52:22.840 the root system with a trowel about six inches deep 2041 01:52:23.000 --> 01:52:25.880 and feel the. Soil and if it is very, wet, 2042 01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:29.399 sticky that's probably the. Problem as far as what to 2043 01:52:29.560 --> 01:52:32.159 do about. It at this, point you could try taking 2044 01:52:32.199 --> 01:52:34.680 a spading fork and going straight in there and wiggling 2045 01:52:34.720 --> 01:52:37.680 a little bit to get some, oxygen some air down 2046 01:52:37.720 --> 01:52:40.880 into the root. System don't spade the soil, up but 2047 01:52:41.000 --> 01:52:43.399 just push it, down pull back on the, fork rock 2048 01:52:43.439 --> 01:52:45.319 it back and, forth and then pull it straight back. 2049 01:52:45.399 --> 01:52:49.520 Up and. SEE i think that's probably too, little too, 2050 01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:52.159 late but it's worth a. Try it's one thing that 2051 01:52:52.239 --> 01:52:56.520 might be in your. Power and then a longer term 2052 01:52:57.880 --> 01:52:59.880 you may need to be looking at how to use 2053 01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:03.720 subsurface drain that, area get some water away from. It 2054 01:53:04.479 --> 01:53:06.920 and the most drastic of measures would be when we 2055 01:53:06.960 --> 01:53:11.640 get into the wintertime Like, JANUARY, uh to dig the thing, 2056 01:53:11.760 --> 01:53:14.319 up redo a bed in a nice raised bed of 2057 01:53:14.399 --> 01:53:17.880 well drained soil mix and then reset it immediately while 2058 01:53:17.920 --> 01:53:20.680 that tree is. Dormant. Uh and and so if we 2059 01:53:20.720 --> 01:53:22.760 can keep it alive till then that would be what to. 2060 01:53:22.840 --> 01:53:25.319 Do you can't do that, now but it's gonna be 2061 01:53:25.359 --> 01:53:27.239 one of those. THINGS i think if you get looking, 2062 01:53:27.279 --> 01:53:29.880 close you may see some gummy sap around the base 2063 01:53:30.000 --> 01:53:34.439 or on the main branches and things that could be a. Canker, okay, 2064 01:53:34.560 --> 01:53:37.800 okay all, right thank you my. Friend sorry sorry to hear, 2065 01:53:37.840 --> 01:53:41.840 that but good luck on getting behind that for. Sure 2066 01:53:42.880 --> 01:53:46.199 i'm gonna go now to the woodlands and we're gonna 2067 01:53:46.199 --> 01:53:50.359 talk To. Ian. Hello, Ian welcome to Garden.

Tree i'm pretty. 2099 01:55:26.279 --> 01:55:28.840 Sure they were actually attached to the trunk of the 2100 01:55:28.880 --> 01:55:29.640 tree at the very. 2101 01:55:29.680 --> 01:55:31.560 Base all? 2102 01:55:31.680 --> 01:55:34.359 Right what color were? They and about how big was 2103 01:55:34.359 --> 01:55:35.680 the diameter of the mushroom. 2104 01:55:35.720 --> 01:55:38.560 Caps they were kind. 2105 01:55:38.359 --> 01:55:42.159 Of a reddish color and they were probably about maybe 2106 01:55:42.359 --> 01:55:45.000 two and a half three inches tall and maybe same 2107 01:55:45.159 --> 01:55:46.680 same diameter two and a half three. 2108 01:55:46.720 --> 01:55:51.840 Inches, okay would you say maybe a honey it's SOMETHING i, Noticed, 2109 01:55:53.239 --> 01:55:56.000 Okay but would you say maybe a honey? Color would 2110 01:55:56.039 --> 01:56:02.680 that be the kind of red or something redd or light? 2111 01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:04.039 Red? 2112 01:56:04.199 --> 01:56:04.479 Maybe? 2113 01:56:04.479 --> 01:56:04.560 So? 2114 01:56:05.800 --> 01:56:06.079 Yes. 2115 01:56:07.399 --> 01:56:10.279 Okay, Well i'm just trying to kind of weed through 2116 01:56:10.319 --> 01:56:14.159 a lot of possibilities here on. This so if you're 2117 01:56:14.199 --> 01:56:16.880 seeing dead, limbs they're probably dead limbs at this. Point 2118 01:56:16.880 --> 01:56:19.960 they should have leafed out or for whatever, reason they. 2119 01:56:20.000 --> 01:56:23.520 Didn't if something's wrong in the, roots such as a root. 2120 01:56:23.600 --> 01:56:27.880 Rot there's one possibility called armillaria root rot also called 2121 01:56:27.960 --> 01:56:32.960 oak root, rot that creates clusters of little mushrooms the 2122 01:56:33.000 --> 01:56:35.680 size you, described but they're more kind of of a 2123 01:56:35.720 --> 01:56:40.039 reddish honey. COLOR i don't, think hearing you describe, it 2124 01:56:40.119 --> 01:56:42.359 that's what it. Is but if it's, that it's going 2125 01:56:42.439 --> 01:56:45.039 to kill the tree and there's no fixing. It it's just. Done, 2126 01:56:46.119 --> 01:56:50.800 now let's just say they're not associated necessarily with the. 2127 01:56:50.800 --> 01:56:52.640 Tree they just happen to be right there at the, 2128 01:56:52.640 --> 01:56:57.359 base working on some decomposing organic matter or. WHATNOT i 2129 01:56:57.399 --> 01:57:01.680 think cutting the crape myrtle back all the dead limbs 2130 01:57:01.720 --> 01:57:04.960 back is an.

H we'll be happy to 2287 02:05:13.039 --> 02:05:15.800 visit with you about the kinds of gardening questions that 2288 02:05:15.880 --> 02:05:21.119 you might. HAVE i have seemed to be receiving a 2289 02:05:21.119 --> 02:05:24.720 lot of questions on turf turning yellow, lately and it's 2290 02:05:24.760 --> 02:05:26.800 not just here on the, air but just in general 2291 02:05:26.800 --> 02:05:30.880 and driving around. Town i'm seeing that When Saint augustine, 2292 02:05:30.920 --> 02:05:33.960 grass especially as it's kind of the predominant turf we 2293 02:05:34.039 --> 02:05:37.720 deal with, here when it starts to turn. Yellow there 2294 02:05:37.760 --> 02:05:39.720 are a couple of things you might. Notice if you 2295 02:05:39.720 --> 02:05:42.520 get up, close you may see a grass blade and 2296 02:05:42.560 --> 02:05:46.079 the whole blade is just uniformly. Yellow that could be 2297 02:05:46.159 --> 02:05:49.880 due to a chemical. Damage it could be due to 2298 02:05:50.560 --> 02:05:54.840 some other types of causes that may just disease or 2299 02:05:54.840 --> 02:05:58.319 whatever just causing that. Yellowing when you see streaks of 2300 02:05:58.359 --> 02:06:00.920 green and yellow in the same and sometimes you have 2301 02:06:00.960 --> 02:06:02.399 to pick the blade and kind of hold up to 2302 02:06:02.439 --> 02:06:04.439 the sky and look at, it and you'll see those vertical. 2303 02:06:04.439 --> 02:06:07.199 Streaks that's a lack of. Iron but the question is 2304 02:06:07.319 --> 02:06:09.960 why is there a lack of. Iron maybe your soil 2305 02:06:10.439 --> 02:06:14.279 doesn't have. Iron that's the least likely cause that your 2306 02:06:14.279 --> 02:06:17.560 soil doesn't have. Iron maybe the iron is there but 2307 02:06:17.640 --> 02:06:21.119 it's not. Available that's a very likely. Cause high pH 2308 02:06:21.239 --> 02:06:24.680 and hygh phosphorus can cause iron to tie up and 2309 02:06:24.720 --> 02:06:29.000 not be available to the. Plant so that is why 2310 02:06:29.680 --> 02:06:31.960 we recommend. You you know you hear me talk about 2311 02:06:31.960 --> 02:06:34.640 the three one two four one two ratio. Fertilizers that 2312 02:06:34.760 --> 02:06:37.079 one in the middle that's. Phosphorus we don't need to 2313 02:06:37.079 --> 02:06:40.640 add a whole lot of. That and if you over the, 2314 02:06:40.760 --> 02:06:43.199 years as your pH goes, up as your phosphorus goes, 2315 02:06:43.279 --> 02:06:46.399 up you create a problem by by that and that 2316 02:06:46.520 --> 02:06:49.399 can cause a lack of iron in the. Plant when that, 2317 02:06:49.520 --> 02:06:52.560 happens we have to use a keylated iron to fix. 2318 02:06:52.640 --> 02:06:55.880 It and a keylated iron keylate comes from A latin 2319 02:06:55.920 --> 02:06:59.359 word meaning. Claw so imagine there's an iron, Molecule, like 2320 02:06:59.439 --> 02:07:01.399 make a fist with your left. Hand that's the iron. 2321 02:07:01.439 --> 02:07:04.640 Molecule now take your right hand and grab your. Fist 2322 02:07:05.159 --> 02:07:08.119 the keylate is the claw that right hand that's grabbed 2323 02:07:08.159 --> 02:07:11.039 onto the iron and it protects it in the soil 2324 02:07:11.319 --> 02:07:14.479 so the plant can get. It it lasts. Longer regular 2325 02:07:14.520 --> 02:07:17.479 iron ties up like the iron you already. Have it'll 2326 02:07:17.520 --> 02:07:19.079 green up for a, while but it didn't last. Long 2327 02:07:19.279 --> 02:07:22.199 kilada iron is a better way to, go and your 2328 02:07:22.239 --> 02:07:25.239 good garden centers and feed, stores places Like Southwest Fertilized 2329 02:07:25.279 --> 02:07:28.359 race hardware, starts they're gonna have keylated iron that you can. Use. 2330 02:07:28.720 --> 02:07:30.680 Now sometimes in the spring we get a little bit 2331 02:07:30.720 --> 02:07:33.359 of a yellowing and early green. Up when it's cool 2332 02:07:33.399 --> 02:07:35.800 and extra, wet we see a little bit of. That 2333 02:07:36.000 --> 02:07:38.239 the final cause is one you don't want me to, 2334 02:07:38.279 --> 02:07:40.920 say because it's it's the bad, one and that is 2335 02:07:41.000 --> 02:07:44.760 take all root. Rot it kills. Iron the grass plant 2336 02:07:44.760 --> 02:07:46.840 can only take up iron at the tips of its. 2337 02:07:46.960 --> 02:07:50.680 Roots so when take all kills, roots we see the 2338 02:07:50.800 --> 02:07:55.079 nutrient deficiency of iron deficiency because the grass is not 2339 02:07:55.239 --> 02:07:57.800 able to take up the iron even that's there because 2340 02:07:57.840 --> 02:08:00.560 of the loss of root system due to the. Disease 2341 02:08:01.079 --> 02:08:05.079 go to my. Schedule Skip's Pest disease And Weed management 2342 02:08:05.119 --> 02:08:07.640 schedule talks about take all on that, one and you 2343 02:08:07.680 --> 02:08:09.479 can see what to.

Spring Hello, bonnie welcome to garden. 2408 02:11:33.640 --> 02:11:38.359 Line Hi, SKIP i sent. Pictures i'm hoping you got. 2409 02:11:38.359 --> 02:11:39.560 Them just now. 2410 02:11:41.239 --> 02:11:43.880 Tell me what their pictures of my quaite. 2411 02:11:43.960 --> 02:11:47.920 MYRTLE i was asking earlier today if they had white 2412 02:11:47.920 --> 02:11:49.920 spot AND i sent. 2413 02:11:50.000 --> 02:11:53.520 Pictures, oh, YES i remember the. Call, yeah that is 2414 02:11:53.520 --> 02:11:57.840 not powdery, Mildew, bonnie there. Is there are some little 2415 02:11:57.840 --> 02:12:01.479 tiny spots that are little specs, there probably some kind 2416 02:12:01.520 --> 02:12:04.079 of a little fungus or bacterial spec but that's of 2417 02:12:04.119 --> 02:12:06.960 no concern at. All the white material you see in 2418 02:12:06.960 --> 02:12:11.319 it is almost it's like a, residue and a lot 2419 02:12:11.359 --> 02:12:13.960 of times something like that is from irrigation. Water some 2420 02:12:14.000 --> 02:12:17.119 of our irrigation water has calcium deposits or iron deposits 2421 02:12:17.199 --> 02:12:19.600 or other things in. It in the case of these, 2422 02:12:19.640 --> 02:12:21.840 though most of the leaves don't show, It SO i 2423 02:12:21.880 --> 02:12:24.399 don't know why you're seeing it on some leaves but not. 2424 02:12:24.439 --> 02:12:27.159 Others but if you look at the leaves that have, 2425 02:12:27.319 --> 02:12:30.239 it if you were to imagine spraying something on the 2426 02:12:30.279 --> 02:12:33.399 leaf and then with gravity it sort of rolls, downward 2427 02:12:33.680 --> 02:12:35.760 that's kind of the pattern that it has on. There 2428 02:12:35.800 --> 02:12:40.840 so it's something probably coming out of the irrigation, system 2429 02:12:41.119 --> 02:12:45.560 but nothing to be concerned. About, okay, no no need 2430 02:12:45.600 --> 02:12:48.239 to treat for. It your crepe myrtle looks, good overall. 2431 02:12:49.319 --> 02:12:51.840 Beautiful you don't happen to know the name of that, 2432 02:12:51.920 --> 02:12:53.039 variety do?

Beds, OKAY i don't know what 2489 02:15:52.079 --> 02:15:54.319 why they all of a sudden coming up this. 2490 02:15:54.479 --> 02:15:58.399 Year, yeah let's real. Quick tell me what are the 2491 02:15:58.439 --> 02:16:01.479 main good plants you're? Grown and in those flower beds 2492 02:16:02.920 --> 02:16:04.119 the desirable. 2493 02:16:03.680 --> 02:16:15.119 Come court high, biscuits rouse A sharon and casper and 2494 02:16:16.119 --> 02:16:18.560 oh what was the other? ONE i can't think of. 2495 02:16:18.640 --> 02:16:21.319 It, Okay so So i'm hearing a lot of. Shrub 2496 02:16:21.760 --> 02:16:26.199 i'm hearing a lot of shrubs right, right, right, Okay 2497 02:16:26.600 --> 02:16:29.439 so you can carefully spray and not get it on the. 2498 02:16:29.479 --> 02:16:32.040 Shrubs just make sure the shrubs don't have sprouts at 2499 02:16:32.040 --> 02:16:34.559 the bottom that the spray gets. On so a broad 2500 02:16:34.639 --> 02:16:38.239 leaf post emergent weed killer with a spreader sticker to 2501 02:16:38.280 --> 02:16:41.680 make it stick to the leaves of the. Weeds when 2502 02:16:41.719 --> 02:16:46.600 you go to, yeah you're you're there In Sugarland Southwest 2503 02:16:46.600 --> 02:16:49.040 fertilizers at the corner Of businet And. Runwick it's not 2504 02:16:49.079 --> 02:16:51.360 too far away from, you and you go in. There 2505 02:16:51.760 --> 02:16:54.159 i've got broad leaf weeds and a flower. BED i 2506 02:16:54.239 --> 02:16:56.159 need a spreader sticker to go with, it and they'll 2507 02:16:56.159 --> 02:16:58.120 put both of them in your. Hands and then when 2508 02:16:58.120 --> 02:17:01.079 they're sprayed with, that it, well it will kill, him 2509 02:17:01.079 --> 02:17:04.840 but it will also kill desirable broad leaf, plants so 2510 02:17:04.959 --> 02:17:07.399 you cannot get it on the foliage of your good. 2511 02:17:07.399 --> 02:17:11.200 Plants if you want to do a weed, wiper if 2512 02:17:11.200 --> 02:17:13.719 you go to my website gardening with skip dot, com 2513 02:17:13.760 --> 02:17:17.000 a weed wiper can be. Built bob's also At Southwest. 2514 02:17:17.040 --> 02:17:19.680 Fertilizer he's also got the tool you make that with 2515 02:17:19.799 --> 02:17:23.719 and that you apply the herbicide to the sponge and 2516 02:17:23.760 --> 02:17:26.200 then you reach. Down you don't have to bend over there, 2517 02:17:26.319 --> 02:17:28.399 there you, know just drop your arm by your side 2518 02:17:28.440 --> 02:17:30.159 and it reaches all the way to the ground and 2519 02:17:30.239 --> 02:17:32.760 you squeeze with the sponge on those weed leaves and 2520 02:17:32.799 --> 02:17:35.360 it moves down in them and it kills, them and 2521 02:17:35.399 --> 02:17:38.719 that avoids the. Spray that avoids the accidental. Damage but 2522 02:17:38.760 --> 02:17:40.559 if you got a big bed full of tons of, 2523 02:17:40.559 --> 02:17:42.680 weeds it takes a long time to do that that. 2524 02:17:42.799 --> 02:17:46.159 Way BUT i think talk To bob about, it and he. 2525 02:17:46.239 --> 02:17:49.399 Can he.

R you 2548 02:19:01.920 --> 02:19:04.760 hear me give these adages all the, time like brown 2549 02:19:04.799 --> 02:19:09.680 stuff before green stuff and. Whatnot, well it's because there's 2550 02:19:09.719 --> 02:19:12.360 just some simple principles that help us have success with our. 2551 02:19:12.399 --> 02:19:16.920 Plants and one principle that is important to remember is 2552 02:19:18.120 --> 02:19:21.239 don't wait when you start to see a, problem find 2553 02:19:21.239 --> 02:19:24.879 out what it, is and act. Soon and here here's. 2554 02:19:24.920 --> 02:19:27.079 Why like a, disease you start to see a little 2555 02:19:27.079 --> 02:19:29.760 bit of a leaf spot on a, disease, right, well 2556 02:19:30.159 --> 02:19:32.840 you end up waiting and next thing you, know the 2557 02:19:32.879 --> 02:19:35.159 whole plant's got the spots on it and most of 2558 02:19:35.159 --> 02:19:39.520 your leaf area has been compromised or. Killed and, now, 2559 02:19:39.760 --> 02:19:42.120 yeah you could spread a fung, aside but to protect 2560 02:19:42.159 --> 02:19:45.000 what it's almost all gone. Right the same is true 2561 02:19:45.040 --> 02:19:47.879 with insect. Feeding you, know a few caterpillars here are. 2562 02:19:47.879 --> 02:19:50.120 There that's. Okay they're a little tiny things when they hatch. 2563 02:19:50.120 --> 02:19:52.479 Out but they get big and they get, hungry and 2564 02:19:52.520 --> 02:19:54.879 they molt and they get bigger and, fast and next 2565 02:19:54.920 --> 02:19:57.399 thing you. Know you, know if you, wait let's say 2566 02:19:57.399 --> 02:19:59.680 you have fall webworms in your pecan trees and you 2567 02:19:59.760 --> 02:20:02.360 got little web nest up. There now's the time to 2568 02:20:02.399 --> 02:20:05.159 get there and do something to stop. That if you're 2569 02:20:05.200 --> 02:20:07.479 going to do something about. It but if you wait 2570 02:20:07.520 --> 02:20:09.200 until the whole tree is full of webs and has no, 2571 02:20:09.319 --> 02:20:12.559 leaves well there's no need to. SPRAY i, mean you're. 2572 02:20:12.559 --> 02:20:16.959 Done and they often say that the best fertilizer is 2573 02:20:17.000 --> 02:20:20.399 the footprints of the. Gardener what that means is when 2574 02:20:20.440 --> 02:20:23.399 you're in your garden and you're checking things and taking 2575 02:20:23.399 --> 02:20:27.440 care of things and, whatnot that results in a really 2576 02:20:27.680 --> 02:20:31.399 nice garden of very happy. PLANTS i would also say 2577 02:20:31.399 --> 02:20:34.120 that the best pest and disease control is the footprints 2578 02:20:34.120 --> 02:20:36.680 of the. Gardener the sooners you get out, there the 2579 02:20:36.760 --> 02:20:38.719 sooner you check. IT i was in my garden the 2580 02:20:38.760 --> 02:20:41.680 other day looking at some, things AND i saw some 2581 02:20:41.799 --> 02:20:44.760 aphids on a. Leaf, NOW i could go in with 2582 02:20:44.840 --> 02:20:47.920 a squirt of insecticidal soap and just knock those out 2583 02:20:47.959 --> 02:20:50.399 with something so. SAFE i take baths and soap, right 2584 02:20:50.680 --> 02:20:53.280 they're very safe. PRODUCT i could knock it out real. 2585 02:20:53.319 --> 02:20:57.000 Early IF i wait until the plant leaves are twisting 2586 02:20:57.079 --> 02:21:00.760 up and there's a, sugary you do all over the, 2587 02:21:00.879 --> 02:21:03.520 leaves and city mold is growing and. Whatnot that's a 2588 02:21:03.559 --> 02:21:05.559 little late to do. Anything but you know WHAT i. 2589 02:21:05.639 --> 02:21:09.079 NOTICED i noticed some beneficial. INSECTS a lady beat a. 2590 02:21:09.120 --> 02:21:12.159 LARVA a lady beet mom had, said, oh there's layfid's 2591 02:21:12.280 --> 02:21:14.959 that's baby. Food meafood. Too by the, way this is 2592 02:21:14.959 --> 02:21:18.200 what she, Says and so she lays some eggs THERE 2593 02:21:18.280 --> 02:21:21.000 a larva hatches. Out Now i'm not gonna spray, anything 2594 02:21:21.040 --> 02:21:23.719 because even insecticidal soap will kill that lady beat. 2595 02:21:23.840 --> 02:21:24.360 Larva that's. 2596 02:21:24.399 --> 02:21:26.680 There but how DID i know? THAT i knew it 2597 02:21:26.719 --> 02:21:29.440 by getting out in the garden and checking. Periodically you, 2598 02:21:29.479 --> 02:21:32.319 know don't check it every. Month get out as often 2599 02:21:32.319 --> 02:21:34.079 as you. Can plus it's fun go out early in 2600 02:21:34.120 --> 02:21:36.000 the morning when it's. Cool it's fun being out in the. 2601 02:21:36.040 --> 02:21:38.559 Garden but the sooner you catch a, problem the better 2602 02:21:38.600 --> 02:21:41.680 off it. Is it's that is a life, principle isn't, 2603 02:21:41.680 --> 02:21:46.879 It whether it's, gardening or relationships or paying the bills or. 2604 02:21:46.920 --> 02:21:50.079 Whatever doing things on time saves you a lot of. 2605 02:21:50.079 --> 02:21:53.000 Pain dealing with things early on helps a. Lot so 2606 02:21:53.200 --> 02:21:56.879 there you. Go that was. Readvice but for, gardening act, 2607 02:21:56.879 --> 02:22:01.120 soon don't, wait and your options are and also from 2608 02:22:01.120 --> 02:22:05.959 a pest control, standpoint the, safest most organic. Options you 2609 02:22:06.040 --> 02:22:10.079 have full range of those early in a problem. Process 2610 02:22:10.280 --> 02:22:13.879 as things get, older not so. Much for, EXAMPLE bt kills. 2611 02:22:13.879 --> 02:22:16.959 Caterpillars we know that works, Well but when a caterpillar 2612 02:22:17.040 --> 02:22:18.879 is older and it's slowed, down it's, eating and it's 2613 02:22:18.879 --> 02:22:20.520 getting ready to turn in a moth that will lay 2614 02:22:20.559 --> 02:22:24.079 a lot more caterpillar, eggs, well then you're not going 2615 02:22:24.159 --> 02:22:27.600 to get control WITH. Bt the younger the caterpillar, is 2616 02:22:27.639 --> 02:22:30.959 the more voraciously feeding young, CATERPILLARS bt wipes them. Out 2617 02:22:31.319 --> 02:22:34.040 as they get, older it's not as. Good another case 2618 02:22:34.079 --> 02:22:37.680 in point of the sooner you do, things the more 2619 02:22:37.840 --> 02:22:41.079 safe natural options you, have and the more effective it'll. 2620 02:22:41.120 --> 02:22:43.719 Be all, RIGHT i feel like i'm fussing at you. 2621 02:22:43.760 --> 02:22:46.000 THERE i don't mean it that, way but it is 2622 02:22:46.079 --> 02:22:50.040 an important thing to.
