1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Sabine too, weekend breakfast sustainable living. 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 2: All right, it is our sustainability time, and today we're 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: speaking about something that I think, you know, if you 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: don't live in a space where you have to take 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: care of your own God, and it's easy to forget 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: and that that is the correct type of lawn care, 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: taking care of your lawn. We are the cusp of 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: autumn and it is you know, about to turn. 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 3: We're about to see more shades. 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: Of brown, and during this time, lawns usually suffer. And 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: if they're not taken care of, you know, well enough, 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: and they're not you know, watered in the right way 13 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: and not fed the food so to speak that they need, 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: then you know, later on in the year, it's really 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: hard to see the health of lawns, of your lawn 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: recovering and restored to its former glory. And I think 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: it's an important conversation to have this morning. And so 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: for that chat, we have Paul Vonk who's a gardening expersion. 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: He joins us on the line, Paul, good morning, thank 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 2: you for your. 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: Time, A very good morning to you and the rest 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: of seven or two. Great to be here. 23 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely lovely. I mean, you know, I think Paul, 24 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: you know, living. 25 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: In communal spaces, especially in Johannesburg, has left most of 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: us not really knowing how to take care of your 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: lawn because it gets taken care of by other people, right, 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: And it seems like that it almost it's the background 29 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: in your life. You almost forget that it really needs 30 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: to be taken care of in the best way possible. 31 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: And now we're on the cusp of autumn and the 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: lawn turns to suffer at this time of the year, 33 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: but it's not taken care of, right. 34 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: Absolutely, right, But I think it's very important to understand 35 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: that we are already in autumn. Many people misunderstand this. 36 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, so I've seen. I've seen the months. 37 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen. 38 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: You know, this is really funny because it's a conversation 39 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: that I've been happy with the friend with friends of 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: mine right around when you start counting, right, and according 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: to Google, I thought that autumn starts in March. Another 42 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: friend of mine st no, autumn actually starts in fab 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: So we google this and Google says the twentieth of March. 44 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: You see, there's so much confusion, but you know everything 45 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: and in fact everything for anything that is alive. Temperature 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: is the most important aspect, even for your own body. 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: We have got the right temperature from the sun. We 48 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: have this miracle of thirty seven degrees celsius that keeps 49 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: our body running. But so does the whole of horticulture. 50 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: And it is all about temperature. And this is the 51 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: time of the year when temperature starts changing. If you 52 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: plot the average temperature charts of Johannesburg or the Highfelt, 53 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: you will see that the peak of the highest temperatures 54 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: occur in January, and in January the grass starts turning downwards, 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: back towards winter. It's incredible and so the most important 56 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: understanding we are already in autumn. It started on one February. 57 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Obviously our body still felt the high temperature, but the 58 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: ground started changing. If you get up at the same 59 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: time of the morning every day and step outside, you'll 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: have noticed the sun has moved. It's not where it was. 61 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: So the most important understand we were ready in autumn, 62 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: and therefore we go into a period here on the 63 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: Highfeld where rain slows down and stops all together when 64 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: we get into winter. And what does a lawn need. 65 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: It needs continuous moisture. So you need to look at irrigation, 66 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: very very important to follow the guidelines. Don't water during 67 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: the day because it's going to be evaporated. So water 68 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: early morning or late afternoon. But the most important thing 69 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: coming back to temperature and lawns is lawn heights, the 70 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: cutting height. The best tip I can gift to anybody 71 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: is to stop cutting the lawn so short right now. 72 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: Let it grow a little bit longer to what we 73 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: call six to seven centimeters. That's the cutting height that 74 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: you need to set your lawnmow tore why in particular 75 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: at this time. Yeah, so the natural rainfall is going 76 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: to slow down. So you have a lawn which is 77 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: technically a plant and it relies on moisture. It will 78 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: rise on sunshine, it relies on many things, but it 79 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: is going to go into stress when it doesn't have 80 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: enough moisture. So the worst thing you can do is 81 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: to cut it shorter, because you have a beautiful lawn 82 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: growing above the ground and the roots underneath, and whatever 83 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 1: you cut from the top, it loses in the ground 84 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: from the root structure. So you need to not mow 85 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: so short. So that would be the very very first step. Now, 86 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: whoever mows the lawn, find out how to set the 87 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: lawnlow because many people don't know that year. Yes, raise 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: the cutting heights, very very important for now and right 89 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: through until spring comes back in August. 90 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: And you know, you pointed out something really important around 91 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: when to when to water your lawn at this. 92 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 3: Time of the year. 93 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 2: So temperatures aren't you know, starting to drop just a bit, 94 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: particularly particularly in the morning, but they're still hy enough 95 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: to evaporate during the year. 96 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: During the day, definitely, they're still high. We're still having 97 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: peaks of thirty five to thirty six degrees at the moment. 98 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: This coming week looks a bit a bit cooler, which 99 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: is lovely, but they're still high peaks. And if you 100 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: water in the morning, that water is going to be 101 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: evaporated very quickly, so very important. In fact, there's a 102 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: the round Water has never changed their watering instructions. We 103 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: do should not water before six sorry after six hundred 104 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: in this time period now through to through the spring, 105 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: not before oh six hundred, and not right, not between 106 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: six hundred and eighteen hundred. So that daytime should you 107 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: should not be irrigating at all. You should be irrigating 108 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: early morning. Get up five o'clock. Beautiful temperature, beautiful climate, 109 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: and get your watering done before six hundred. 110 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: I suppose you know, Paul, as the temperatures start to 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: drop and you know you really want to take care 112 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: of your lawn. There's a bit of a risk of 113 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: overfertilizing also at this time of the year, because you're 114 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 2: thinking more nutrients, more fertilizer, and you think that you 115 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: know you're taking care of the lawn. But that's also 116 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: a bit of a danger. 117 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: It is a danger, and one needs to understand the 118 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: difference between chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers. We recommend organic. 119 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: Organic fertilizer will treat the soil and the soil will 120 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: treat the plant. And with an organic fertilizer, you have 121 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: no burning the grass. So it's probably better for the 122 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: environment and better for your grass to use an organic fertilizer. 123 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: But this is the time period when you should be 124 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: thinking about fertilization because as the grass starts going into 125 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: dormancy and it will be indomancy by the time we 126 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: get to May June, it will stop drowing, it will 127 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: go brown. If you have heavy thrust, it will go brown. 128 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: That it depends on what cattle on you have, of course, 129 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: But so we are going into a period where the 130 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: plant is going into stress with less water, so it 131 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: needs to be fed on a regular basis. And organic 132 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: fertilizers you only have to feed them once every eight 133 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: weeks or so. So it's not a finitive exercise, but 134 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: it's an important one. 135 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 136 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: And in terms of fertilizing, what should you be taking 137 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: into account if you are thinking of, you know, going 138 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: that root right now? Yes, so you've bought your organic fertilizer. 139 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: I think it's in the how now. 140 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: Yes, So what I always say, whatever you're doing in horticulture, 141 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: read the Idiot's guide. Every product that you use in 142 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: the garden has got an Idiot's guide. Just check to 143 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: see what is the right recommended addition rate. We're going 144 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: to criticalize. This is approximately a handful the square meter. 145 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: This is a rough guideline, So don't overdo it because 146 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: whatever excess or fertilization that you're going to do in 147 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: excess is not going to have any benefit. So the 148 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: important just read their instructions and look at it and 149 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: think of it scientifically. In addition to potentially needing to overseed, 150 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: with lawn seed that that's also an option at this 151 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: time of the year. And of course we stopped using 152 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: lawn seeds that are running the runners of the curcuus, 153 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: the synodons, the am You need to use cool season 154 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: lawns during this period because they thrive on being thrown 155 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: in cool season. That you have a version for some 156 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: and you have a version for shade. So think about 157 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: that too. If you are starting a new lawn or 158 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: if you are overseaing at this time, no more cucuu, 159 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: lm or so I know, don't you wait for spring 160 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: for that for those glasses. 161 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul, let's speak about scarifying, you know, which is 162 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: the removing of moss and thatch. You know, someone on 163 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: the West Sipe line here saying it's an important part 164 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: just before the new rains, but people seem to shy 165 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: away from doing this. 166 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, this could be a two hour lecture unfortunately. Let 167 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 4: me let me try to cut it short for you. Yeah, 168 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 4: you need to know which lawn type you have. It 169 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 4: is only cucuu that must be scarified, no other lawns, 170 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 4: because it's like at least six different other lawns available 171 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: on the High South in South Africa. So if you 172 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 4: have cucuu then you should consider scarifying, but only once 173 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 4: every two years, and that you're going to do at 174 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 4: the end of winter, so late July would be the 175 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 4: perfect time for clarification, maybe just to say exactly what 176 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 4: is it. You're going to cut the lawn at the 177 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 4: lowest lawn moment setting, so you're cutting all of the 178 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: growth above the ground off the grass. If you do 179 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 4: that with any other lawn type, including LM. Cynodin and 180 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: the off season grass is you're going to lose the grass. 181 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: So most important, only if you have cocuion, and then 182 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 4: you will scarify once onlysearch to remove the thatch and 183 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 4: all the build up of grasses that are basically suffocating 184 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 4: the plant. You remove it, and then you wait for 185 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: that tickoff temperature in early spring and the draft will 186 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 4: come back beautifully and you may need to oversee as 187 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 4: well at the time. But that's clarification. Is it's an 188 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 4: I say, it's once every two years, and it's only 189 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 4: if you have a cocuon very very important. 190 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting that you say that because most 191 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: of us don't really know what type of what type 192 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: of lawn across you move into a new place. You've 193 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 2: been living in a sectional title or a complex all 194 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: your life, and now you've bought a free standing house 195 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: and you find this beautiful lawn, but you don't know 196 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: what type of lawn or grass it is. 197 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 3: How would you know that? You've got to tickle you 198 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 3: for example. 199 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: Okay, so it's very easy. Chop a piece off or 200 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: take a high raise photograph and pop into a garden 201 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: center and ask one of the experts. They will identify 202 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: it if they can't send it through to us, and 203 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: we can identify. So we just need to look at 204 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: the leaf structure, the shape, and a good high res 205 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: image and the experts will be able to tell you. 206 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: So that will be the best advice. Pop into a 207 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: leading garden center or retailer and ask for advice because 208 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: it's readily available. And then at least you know which 209 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: lawn type you have, and then are different instructions with 210 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: different lawn types. Also, we do an annual lecture in 211 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: spring and we call it the lawn Doctor. And I 212 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: promise you that that lecture is overbooked every year because 213 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: the minute we come out of winter, and I'm sorry, gents, 214 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: it's usually the gentleman of the house is usually the 215 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: it's usually the father or the husband that's responsible for 216 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: the lawn. No one else is. And that's the guy 217 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: that we want in that lecture. N't the spring to 218 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: understand what has to happen to the lawn when you 219 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: get into spring, because but now, as I said, as 220 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: we said earlier, we're going into a slow, slowly declining 221 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: temperature phrase less water you must you must do some irrigation, 222 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: you must feed, and then it's spring. There's a whole 223 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff that has to has to has 224 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: to happen to fix lawn because unfortunately, we are lazy, 225 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: how tang It's we don't even get into the car 226 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: when it's winter. So it's only when the temperature ticks 227 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: when we when it's warm enough to walk barefoot on 228 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: stone floor, that is the moment we pop into the 229 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: garden center and start looking and read rescuing lawns and 230 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: gardens crazy. 231 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 2: All right, Paul Vonk, you're gonna have to leave it there. 232 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time, and I do 233 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: hope that this, you know, will help many of you 234 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: out there who are looking to start taking care better 235 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: care of your lawn, particularly during autumn. The autumn is 236 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: a beautiful season. I love the temperature, not too cold, 237 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 2: not too hot. But I do think we sometimes struggle 238 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: when it comes to our gardening, and I hope that 239 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 2: that conversation has been helpful
