Speaker 2: isn't it.

9
00:00:25,653 --> 00:00:27,533
Speaker 3: It is all over the place. It's always all over

10
00:00:27,533 --> 00:00:32,253
Speaker 3: the place at our place. Yes, everything's just going gangbusters.

11
00:00:32,453 --> 00:00:34,573
Speaker 3: Everything's going gangbusters. It's going to be twenty two and

12
00:00:34,693 --> 00:00:37,653
Speaker 3: or on today they reckon, So you know our place.

13
00:00:38,773 --> 00:00:40,933
Speaker 3: Then everything's growing. Is it going to be twenty four

14
00:00:40,973 --> 00:00:41,493
Speaker 3: and the three?

15
00:00:42,533 --> 00:00:45,973
Speaker 4: Don't you worry? Ever since you and your friends left,

16
00:00:46,093 --> 00:00:46,853
Speaker 4: it's been great.

17
00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:49,693
Speaker 3: Yeah, funny there the cold cold hearts. We're keeping them

18
00:00:49,693 --> 00:00:50,973
Speaker 3: below the average for so long.

19
00:00:51,893 --> 00:00:55,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it. Have you got apples where you are?

20
00:00:56,973 --> 00:00:58,973
Speaker 3: Not at our place? Not at our place?

21
00:00:59,093 --> 00:01:02,093
Speaker 4: But but well the in laws.

22
00:01:02,253 --> 00:01:04,733
Speaker 3: The in laws are in Nelson, and in fact, my

23
00:01:04,733 --> 00:01:06,973
Speaker 3: brother in law grew up on an apple orchard. So

24
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:09,053
Speaker 3: I'm all these Yeah.

25
00:01:10,213 --> 00:01:14,093
Speaker 4: Oh well they should they I think they.

26
00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:15,253
Speaker 3: On top of the coddling moth situation. Yeah, that's not

27
00:01:15,253 --> 00:01:16,293
Speaker 3: the first.

28
00:01:17,453 --> 00:01:19,413
Speaker 2: Coddling moths are real braggers.

29
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:22,893
Speaker 4: Actually, because those things, of course originated from places like

30
00:01:24,093 --> 00:01:26,933
Speaker 4: what is it? Then we had them a lot, but

31
00:01:26,933 --> 00:01:29,533
Speaker 4: they're not where they're originally from. I don't know exactly

32
00:01:29,573 --> 00:01:32,013
Speaker 4: where they came from. But anyway, in the in those orchards,

33
00:01:32,533 --> 00:01:36,533
Speaker 4: that is their big gig. Because these guys basically make

34
00:01:36,573 --> 00:01:39,133
Speaker 4: holes in apples and that looks awful and it tastes

35
00:01:39,173 --> 00:01:41,933
Speaker 4: even worse. So I think we better have a check

36
00:01:41,973 --> 00:01:45,733
Speaker 4: about that. And the reason is this is actually quite

37
00:01:45,773 --> 00:01:48,533
Speaker 4: interesting Jack. In the past, when I started working with

38
00:01:48,573 --> 00:01:54,013
Speaker 4: the Ministry of Anger and Fishheads, sorry meth, we used

39
00:01:54,053 --> 00:01:57,933
Speaker 4: to use a lot of really nasty chemicals on apples,

40
00:01:58,013 --> 00:02:02,613
Speaker 4: carver or geno phosphates, you name it. And suddenly they

41
00:02:02,693 --> 00:02:07,053
Speaker 4: found this lovely material called the medex three, which is

42
00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:11,093
Speaker 4: basically a material that kills the caterpillars as soon as

43
00:02:11,133 --> 00:02:13,293
Speaker 4: they come into developing fruit.

44
00:02:14,053 --> 00:02:16,813
Speaker 2: And so I want to have a little check about it, yeah,

45
00:02:16,893 --> 00:02:21,773
Speaker 2: rather than the stuff. Yeah. Okay, So at the moment

46
00:02:21,813 --> 00:02:22,733
Speaker 2: the apples.

47
00:02:22,333 --> 00:02:26,653
Speaker 4: Are flowering, some are have already finished because their earlier settlers,

48
00:02:26,693 --> 00:02:29,693
Speaker 4: I suppose, and there's also later ones coming up. And

49
00:02:29,813 --> 00:02:35,253
Speaker 4: this is the idea how this works. The virus that

50
00:02:35,373 --> 00:02:40,653
Speaker 4: kills the caterpillar is a natural virus that only kills

51
00:02:41,053 --> 00:02:44,693
Speaker 4: the coddling moth, nothing else, right, So then that's that's

52
00:02:44,773 --> 00:02:46,933
Speaker 4: quite organic, isn't it if you think about it.

53
00:02:47,213 --> 00:02:50,533
Speaker 2: So that's number one. Number two is the time when.

54
00:02:50,373 --> 00:02:55,533
Speaker 4: The moths are flying is from now onwards, right, And

55
00:02:55,573 --> 00:02:57,653
Speaker 4: the very first thing they do is they find a partner,

56
00:02:57,733 --> 00:03:00,733
Speaker 4: they mate, and then the females are laying their eggs

57
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:05,813
Speaker 4: literally on the tiny fruits that are forming right now

58
00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:10,973
Speaker 4: after flywer and the tiny fruits in London are called codlings,

59
00:03:11,693 --> 00:03:15,813
Speaker 4: hence the name coddling off right, So that's important. So

60
00:03:15,893 --> 00:03:18,533
Speaker 4: from now on we should start looking at these sort

61
00:03:18,533 --> 00:03:21,493
Speaker 4: of things and instead of using nasty chemicals, we can

62
00:03:21,613 --> 00:03:24,293
Speaker 4: use the material that is that virus that they found.

63
00:03:24,693 --> 00:03:30,973
Speaker 4: It's called granulosis virus, and especially putting bottles under the

64
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:35,453
Speaker 4: name mad X three m A D E X three.

65
00:03:36,453 --> 00:03:41,333
Speaker 4: I've used it now for decades and it works beautifully.

66
00:03:41,493 --> 00:03:43,573
Speaker 4: If you do that at the right time, you can

67
00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:48,173
Speaker 4: actually stop those clotal little catapillas from getting into developing

68
00:03:48,173 --> 00:03:51,093
Speaker 4: fruit and you will have clean fruit at the end

69
00:03:51,133 --> 00:03:51,813
Speaker 4: of the season.

70
00:03:52,053 --> 00:03:55,413
Speaker 2: That is really important. I think, well do you reckon?

71
00:03:55,573 --> 00:03:55,813
Speaker 4: Yeah?

72
00:03:56,013 --> 00:03:57,933
Speaker 3: Sounds very good. And at last ones, right, I mean

73
00:03:57,933 --> 00:03:59,173
Speaker 3: you can just you can just freezer.

74
00:04:00,493 --> 00:04:01,853
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there you go, you go.

75
00:04:02,573 --> 00:04:05,213
Speaker 4: Let you read it you Yeah, if you put it

76
00:04:05,253 --> 00:04:08,053
Speaker 4: in the freezer, you can have that particular stuff. I

77
00:04:08,093 --> 00:04:11,733
Speaker 4: know it's expensive, sorry, I know, but it will last

78
00:04:11,813 --> 00:04:14,133
Speaker 4: for at least four or five years if you put

79
00:04:14,133 --> 00:04:16,453
Speaker 4: them in the freezer and only take it out when

80
00:04:16,453 --> 00:04:19,173
Speaker 4: you have to quickly loot it in your water and

81
00:04:19,213 --> 00:04:20,973
Speaker 4: spray sprady apple trees.

82
00:04:21,413 --> 00:04:22,853
Speaker 2: That is the way to go about it.

83
00:04:22,933 --> 00:04:24,853
Speaker 4: So it's actually and the second thing is what you

84
00:04:24,853 --> 00:04:26,853
Speaker 4: can do is, of course, if you find it too expensive,

85
00:04:27,173 --> 00:04:30,133
Speaker 4: you share it with your neighbors. It's the other thing. Yeah,

86
00:04:30,213 --> 00:04:32,853
Speaker 4: you're looking at one hundred and eighty dollars for a bottle. Yeah,

87
00:04:32,853 --> 00:04:36,813
Speaker 4: it's quite dear, but it works, and boy does it work.

88
00:04:37,133 --> 00:04:40,333
Speaker 4: So those are really important things. Keep it in the

89
00:04:40,373 --> 00:04:44,013
Speaker 4: freezer after use and it'll be easy to use next

90
00:04:44,053 --> 00:04:45,973
