17
00:01:03,335 --> 00:01:06,655
Speaker 3: Anyway, same way they have their tail in the.

18
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:09,215

00:01:09,215 --> 00:01:11,975
Speaker 3: But yes we do because I think it's really funny.

Speaker 4: Good.

24
00:01:20,175 --> 00:01:23,095
Speaker 2: It feels too early to say it feels like it's

25
00:01:23,135 --> 00:01:25,775
Speaker 2: warming up. I was I was working outside yesterday and

26
00:01:25,815 --> 00:01:30,375
Speaker 2: I thought it's too warm. I've got more fruit on

27
00:01:30,415 --> 00:01:31,215
Speaker 2: the plum tree.

28
00:01:31,695 --> 00:01:34,375
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that sort of stuff. Yeah,

29
00:01:34,415 --> 00:01:37,615
Speaker 3: this is the time when the trees and shrubs go like,

30
00:01:37,855 --> 00:01:39,975
Speaker 3: oh yeah, let's have a go and it starts to

31
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:43,695
Speaker 3: flower and everybody goes like what the time of the year. Yeah,

32
00:01:43,695 --> 00:01:46,535
Speaker 3: that's exactly what happens. But that's okay, it's not a

33
00:01:46,535 --> 00:01:49,455
Speaker 3: big deal. I was just I'm just writing a little

34
00:01:49,455 --> 00:01:53,295
Speaker 3: thing for Jack James thing about the fact that I

35
00:01:53,415 --> 00:01:57,975
Speaker 3: totally forgot that you can actually plant, for instance, strawberries

36
00:01:58,255 --> 00:02:01,735
Speaker 3: right now, you know, actually from last month already, right,

37
00:02:01,775 --> 00:02:04,615
Speaker 3: And it's things like that that because you're busy, you

38
00:02:04,695 --> 00:02:08,215
Speaker 3: don't actually really you're not really into it at the moment,

39
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:11,415
Speaker 3: you know. And now I know, I just refound my

40
00:02:12,175 --> 00:02:17,615
Speaker 3: wonderful If you like way to get back into the garden,

41
00:02:17,655 --> 00:02:18,575
Speaker 3: then do some stuff.

42
00:02:19,255 --> 00:02:23,655
Speaker 2: It's nice, fantastic. Yeah, I was painting yesterday, but I

43
00:02:23,655 --> 00:02:24,935
Speaker 2: was looking at the weeds thing. How I've got to

44
00:02:24,935 --> 00:02:26,855
Speaker 2: go and sort that out as well. Hey, if you've

45
00:02:26,855 --> 00:02:31,175
Speaker 2: got a question for it, call us now. Jill, Good morning, Good.

46
00:02:31,015 --> 00:02:36,815
Speaker 5: Morning, gentlemen. My question is I have a hungry ben

47
00:02:36,935 --> 00:02:43,335
Speaker 5: worm farm, and only a whole lot of little baby white,

48
00:02:43,615 --> 00:02:47,855
Speaker 5: small white worms have turned up the idea. You know,

49
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:50,695
Speaker 5: the question is are there a problem and so what

50
00:02:50,735 --> 00:02:51,175
Speaker 5: should I.

51
00:02:51,135 --> 00:02:51,735
Speaker 4: Do about it?

52
00:02:52,255 --> 00:02:54,655
Speaker 3: No, they're not a problem at all, because it's not

53
00:02:54,815 --> 00:02:59,295
Speaker 3: just worms. You know, the original worms that you want

54
00:02:59,335 --> 00:03:02,295
Speaker 3: to grow in your worm farm are the only and

55
00:03:02,375 --> 00:03:06,855
Speaker 3: not the only ones that can do work on cials

56
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:09,295
Speaker 3: and break them down and all that sort of stuff.

57
00:03:09,535 --> 00:03:12,855
Speaker 3: Those little ones do their own gig, so they are

58
00:03:12,895 --> 00:03:16,295
Speaker 3: actually helping the whole breakdown of your compost and things

59
00:03:16,335 --> 00:03:19,535
Speaker 3: like that. In this case, no concern whatsoever.

60
00:03:21,135 --> 00:03:24,415
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, there's lots, there's still a lot of tiger

61
00:03:24,455 --> 00:03:27,775
Speaker 5: worms in there. But what should be the ra Should

62
00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:29,015
Speaker 5: it be a ratio of more?

63
00:03:29,935 --> 00:03:32,735
Speaker 3: No, the ratio, it's not. It's not going to be

64
00:03:32,815 --> 00:03:35,495
Speaker 3: you that's going to determine the ratio. It's the worms

65
00:03:35,535 --> 00:03:39,375
Speaker 3: that will do that. Does that make sense because that's

66
00:03:39,415 --> 00:03:42,455
Speaker 3: exactly how it works. There's lots of different creatures on

67
00:03:42,495 --> 00:03:46,415
Speaker 3: the planet that do that. Literally, look after recycling, and

68
00:03:46,575 --> 00:03:49,215
Speaker 3: your worms are one of them. Your your tiger worms

69
00:03:49,215 --> 00:03:51,335
Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff are your own, and

70
00:03:51,375 --> 00:03:53,295
Speaker 3: the native worms and all that. But these are the

71
00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:55,855
Speaker 3: little ones that go into the little spaces and do

72
00:03:55,975 --> 00:03:56,895
Speaker 3: little things.

73
00:03:57,895 --> 00:04:00,775
Speaker 4: Right, don't worry, thank you, So.

74
00:04:00,895 --> 00:04:03,415
Speaker 3: Much, absolutely brilliant. Thank you, Jill.

75
00:04:03,775 --> 00:04:05,735
Speaker 2: All the rubis to Jill. You have a great day

76
00:04:05,735 --> 00:04:08,775
Speaker 2: and take care. Yeah, and John, a very good morning

77
00:04:08,775 --> 00:04:09,135
Speaker 2: to you.

78
00:04:10,215 --> 00:04:13,735
Speaker 6: Yeah. A few months ago you had a woman ring

79
00:04:13,815 --> 00:04:17,215
Speaker 6: up saying that the birds were ripping all the grass

80
00:04:17,295 --> 00:04:21,095
Speaker 6: up they had at the lawn. Yeah. What causes that

81
00:04:21,215 --> 00:04:21,895
Speaker 6: as grass.

82
00:04:21,695 --> 00:04:26,975
Speaker 3: Grubs sometimes, but the ripping of the lawn is not

83
00:04:27,015 --> 00:04:29,815
Speaker 3: so much the grass cup It could be starlings.

84
00:04:30,375 --> 00:04:33,895
Speaker 6: Yeah, but digging down for the grass grubs. Yeah, and

85
00:04:34,015 --> 00:04:36,015
Speaker 6: seeing the grass grubs have eaten all the roots off,

86
00:04:36,095 --> 00:04:38,535
Speaker 6: it's easy to pull the grass out exactly.

87
00:04:39,495 --> 00:04:42,975
Speaker 3: And also the grabs them the grabs themselves are very

88
00:04:42,975 --> 00:04:47,175
Speaker 3: good food for quite a few birds, especially in the starlings. Yeah.

89
00:04:47,215 --> 00:04:50,015
Speaker 3: And but but here comes to thing somebody for Peter.

90
00:04:50,295 --> 00:04:53,815
Speaker 3: But my old friend Peter, he says, I reckon that

91
00:04:53,855 --> 00:04:57,655
Speaker 3: these starlings have got the sensational sense of hearing.

92
00:04:59,135 --> 00:05:01,615
Speaker 6: They have, you know what I mean. You can see

93
00:05:01,655 --> 00:05:04,415
Speaker 6: them if you watch them, you can see them hopping

94
00:05:04,415 --> 00:05:07,535
Speaker 6: along the ground with their head on the side. Next

95
00:05:07,535 --> 00:05:09,535
Speaker 6: time they stop and I pull it out, a puff

96
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:12,135
Speaker 6: the grass and get the grass grub underneath.

97
00:05:12,135 --> 00:05:15,375
Speaker 4: Exactly, and you get rid of it. Yeah.

98
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:17,495
Speaker 6: If you get rid of the grass grubs. They don't

99
00:05:17,495 --> 00:05:19,415
Speaker 6: pull the grass up because the roots are deeper.

100
00:05:20,135 --> 00:05:23,495
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, you got it. Yeah, that's the one.

101
00:05:23,935 --> 00:05:26,335
Speaker 3: And there is there as there are some really good

102
00:05:26,415 --> 00:05:29,095
Speaker 3: materials now that you can spray onto your grass, onto

103
00:05:29,135 --> 00:05:32,735
Speaker 3: your lawn to stop those grass grubs and and and

104
00:05:32,815 --> 00:05:36,415
Speaker 3: related creatures if you like, from from doing that sort

105
00:05:36,415 --> 00:05:38,615
Speaker 3: of damage. And then of course followed by the birds.

106
00:05:39,615 --> 00:05:41,975
Speaker 3: So you can you can spray now these days.

107
00:05:42,055 --> 00:05:43,295
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah.

108
00:05:43,335 --> 00:05:47,495
Speaker 6: I used pills from the Guard Center, but they're not

109
00:05:47,615 --> 00:05:50,135
Speaker 6: good for the birds, so you need to cover the ground,

110
00:05:50,255 --> 00:05:52,095
Speaker 6: have to put the pills on to stop the birds

111
00:05:52,095 --> 00:05:52,735
Speaker 6: going in there.

112
00:05:53,335 --> 00:05:55,535
Speaker 3: That's one way. But that other stuff that I was

113
00:05:55,575 --> 00:05:57,335
Speaker 3: just thinking oft and I've forgotten the name of it,

114
00:05:58,015 --> 00:06:01,455
Speaker 3: the Kiwi Care product as well, that that you don't

115
00:06:01,495 --> 00:06:03,815
Speaker 3: need to cover for it because the birds basically don't

116
00:06:03,855 --> 00:06:09,855
Speaker 3: get that far. Yeah yeah, easy, awesome all this have

117
00:06:09,895 --> 00:06:10,695
Speaker 3: a great question.

118
00:06:10,855 --> 00:06:13,655
Speaker 2: You take care and Noel, good morning to you.

119
00:06:14,735 --> 00:06:18,975
Speaker 7: Hey morning guys, Christian. Look, I may give me a

120
00:06:19,015 --> 00:06:22,495
Speaker 7: bag of grass seed, so I'm going to sell you

121
00:06:22,495 --> 00:06:24,175
Speaker 7: some grass seed, right.

122
00:06:25,455 --> 00:06:25,655
Speaker 8: Win.

123
00:06:26,495 --> 00:06:30,135
Speaker 7: And and you know the dirt patches, do you just

124
00:06:30,215 --> 00:06:31,855
Speaker 7: loosen them and chuck the seed on it.

125
00:06:32,535 --> 00:06:33,735
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.

126
00:06:36,655 --> 00:06:37,575
Speaker 7: What will start with win?

127
00:06:39,215 --> 00:06:41,175
Speaker 3: I would do it a little bit later when it's

128
00:06:41,215 --> 00:06:43,695
Speaker 3: a bit warmer. I don't know where are you? Where

129
00:06:43,695 --> 00:06:49,215
Speaker 3: you situated kuypra? Okay, so you're not that worried about

130
00:06:49,255 --> 00:06:51,775
Speaker 3: the You can actually almost start it from now on

131
00:06:52,735 --> 00:06:56,055
Speaker 3: because the temperature of the soil will increase from now on,

132
00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:59,375
Speaker 3: as you might notice, and that is the one that

133
00:06:59,375 --> 00:07:03,495
Speaker 3: that makes the seeds germinate. So first of all, get

134
00:07:03,655 --> 00:07:06,255
Speaker 3: get a rake or something that makes holes in the ground,

135
00:07:06,375 --> 00:07:08,575
Speaker 3: you know, like you know what I mean, and basically

136
00:07:08,735 --> 00:07:13,815
Speaker 3: do yours yours broadcasting off seeds. I think that's the

137
00:07:13,855 --> 00:07:16,775
Speaker 3: best way to say it. And you can do that. Well,

138
00:07:16,895 --> 00:07:19,495
Speaker 3: you could wait for another two weeks I suppose, and

139
00:07:19,535 --> 00:07:22,495
Speaker 3: then have a go. That's that's okay, you're getting there. Yeah.

140
00:07:23,535 --> 00:07:26,135
Speaker 7: Just one more thing is I've got a cork run

141
00:07:26,535 --> 00:07:27,255
Speaker 7: Will it work on it?

142
00:07:28,575 --> 00:07:33,135
Speaker 3: Kaikuya no cokuya will caku you will always be something

143
00:07:33,175 --> 00:07:35,895
Speaker 3: that wins exactly.

144
00:07:36,095 --> 00:07:37,975
Speaker 7: Yeah.

145
00:07:38,175 --> 00:07:40,615
Speaker 3: No, get rid of the kai kuu first. Actually, that's

146
00:07:40,655 --> 00:07:43,495
Speaker 3: a good idea. Get no, no, honestly, get some wet

147
00:07:43,495 --> 00:07:47,255
Speaker 3: and forget or that the hit man, the hit no, honestly,

148
00:07:47,295 --> 00:07:53,295
Speaker 3: the hit man or some really good grass. Yeah, there

149
00:07:53,335 --> 00:07:55,655
Speaker 3: you go, or.

150
00:07:57,015 --> 00:08:00,775
Speaker 2: You embrace the cokuia and just go. It's the one

151
00:08:00,815 --> 00:08:02,735
Speaker 2: that won't die off in the summer.

152
00:08:03,015 --> 00:08:06,615
Speaker 7: You know, it's just the grass, the dirt pictures of around.

153
00:08:06,975 --> 00:08:07,895
Speaker 7: We'll work on.

154
00:08:07,975 --> 00:08:11,215
Speaker 3: Those, but this as well, Yeah, of course.

155
00:08:11,535 --> 00:08:12,375
Speaker 9: Yeah.

156
00:08:12,495 --> 00:08:14,535
Speaker 3: But but the question you have to ask, why is

157
00:08:14,535 --> 00:08:15,775
Speaker 3: they know I call you there.

158
00:08:18,335 --> 00:08:19,575
Speaker 7: Well, we're on the farm.

159
00:08:19,695 --> 00:08:28,495
Speaker 3: And cows, dogs fair enough, sheep, Yeah, trolling, trolling all

160
00:08:28,495 --> 00:08:30,055
Speaker 3: over the place. Yeah, I go, and.

161
00:08:30,135 --> 00:08:32,175
Speaker 7: Dogs and dogs all over.

162
00:08:33,775 --> 00:08:34,055
Speaker 4: Do this?

163
00:08:34,295 --> 00:08:34,535
Speaker 6: Give me?

164
00:08:35,255 --> 00:08:38,055
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially female dogs that do we pee into one

165
00:08:38,135 --> 00:08:40,855
Speaker 3: place that literally kills your grass.

166
00:08:40,655 --> 00:08:42,935
Speaker 2: That'll do it. They good luck with that noll. But

167
00:08:43,215 --> 00:08:45,335
Speaker 2: maybe you just accept the fact that the cuckoo ear

168
00:08:45,495 --> 00:08:47,815
Speaker 2: is going to be dominant, and uh, it'll be there

169
00:08:47,815 --> 00:08:51,055
Speaker 2: for a while. He's got lambs. I wonder if he's

170
00:08:51,055 --> 00:08:53,055
Speaker 2: got mutton fat that I could get from.

171
00:08:55,655 --> 00:09:00,495
Speaker 3: Stuff. It's funny coming through.

172
00:09:02,055 --> 00:09:04,575
Speaker 2: We might take a quick break, Henry, stay on the line.

173
00:09:04,615 --> 00:09:17,135
Speaker 2: Will be with you next. You're fifteen minutes away from nine, Henry,

174
00:09:17,215 --> 00:09:18,295
Speaker 2: Good morning.

175
00:09:19,015 --> 00:09:21,015
Speaker 4: Good morning. I was just wanting to talk to Rute.

176
00:09:23,215 --> 00:09:26,015
Speaker 4: Just turn the other on the bank. The other side

177
00:09:26,015 --> 00:09:28,215
Speaker 4: of the land was little harbor and wrapped a head.

178
00:09:29,295 --> 00:09:32,335
Speaker 4: And we have an old orange treat that my uncle

179
00:09:32,375 --> 00:09:36,615
Speaker 4: heread it said for years come away. It went really well.

180
00:09:36,615 --> 00:09:39,495
Speaker 4: I'm doing quite cort was opened up and it died off,

181
00:09:39,735 --> 00:09:41,375
Speaker 4: but it's come back and I want to write to stay.

182
00:09:43,295 --> 00:09:45,215
Speaker 4: We will be the best time carried off.

183
00:09:46,335 --> 00:09:52,655
Speaker 3: And it's you. You have semi ripe cuttings, usually for citrus. Citrus,

184
00:09:52,695 --> 00:09:53,855
Speaker 3: isn't it? Yeah?

185
00:09:54,815 --> 00:09:58,735
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's actually a seedless orange tre It's beautiful.

186
00:10:01,095 --> 00:10:04,695
Speaker 3: Is there? And you can't it? Probably you can do it,

187
00:10:04,775 --> 00:10:07,175
Speaker 3: but it's it could be quite true, key, I think.

188
00:10:07,815 --> 00:10:08,335
Speaker 3: And if you.

189
00:10:09,935 --> 00:10:12,575
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've tried charge just an old tree?

190
00:10:13,375 --> 00:10:15,375
Speaker 3: Yes, do you know the variety?

191
00:10:16,775 --> 00:10:21,055
Speaker 4: Oh no, okay, old tree in a tree?

192
00:10:21,455 --> 00:10:24,335
Speaker 3: Okay, semi ripe cuttings. That means you've got to go

193
00:10:24,455 --> 00:10:27,895
Speaker 3: to the to the younger part of the branches, if

194
00:10:27,895 --> 00:10:30,135
Speaker 3: you like, and you take a cutting, not the near

195
00:10:30,295 --> 00:10:33,895
Speaker 3: the latest bit of growth, but the one before that.

196
00:10:34,335 --> 00:10:40,895
Speaker 3: Say that they say that started midway through the season,

197
00:10:40,935 --> 00:10:43,575
Speaker 3: if you like. Does that make sense to you when

198
00:10:43,575 --> 00:10:45,775
Speaker 3: I say it like that? So if you if you

199
00:10:45,855 --> 00:10:49,575
Speaker 3: let new new stuff grow out in this coming this

200
00:10:49,735 --> 00:10:56,895
Speaker 3: coming spring, news, uh yeah, new branches, branch trips coming out.

201
00:10:57,335 --> 00:10:59,775
Speaker 3: That's what you use halfway through their life.

202
00:11:01,375 --> 00:11:06,535
Speaker 4: Sorry, Yes, that's got a growing that's really nice.

203
00:11:06,895 --> 00:11:09,135
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I would now, but I would wait a

204
00:11:09,215 --> 00:11:13,455
Speaker 3: little bit longer till you're getting into well into spring. Okay,

205
00:11:15,015 --> 00:11:17,775
Speaker 3: that's that's the best sort of sort of stuff that

206
00:11:17,815 --> 00:11:20,215
Speaker 3: you take cuttings off for citrus from memory. Yeah.

207
00:11:21,415 --> 00:11:23,495
Speaker 4: The other the other question was I grown my own

208
00:11:23,575 --> 00:11:27,375
Speaker 4: rose cut into stuff like that, and I've put a

209
00:11:27,455 --> 00:11:29,775
Speaker 4: lot of soil and I've paid an old I've got

210
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:32,975
Speaker 4: to build a lost block here with the spin on fires.

211
00:11:33,095 --> 00:11:35,015
Speaker 4: You know, they've got the old black spoil heer and

212
00:11:35,135 --> 00:11:37,575
Speaker 4: is that a right for that sort of for the

213
00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:39,815
Speaker 4: roses and strawberries?

214
00:11:40,895 --> 00:11:42,975
Speaker 3: Sorry, the question is what to use what.

215
00:11:44,815 --> 00:11:47,695
Speaker 4: They almost out of the fire?

216
00:11:51,015 --> 00:11:54,615
Speaker 3: Yeah, the old bra you're talking about, you're talking about

217
00:11:54,615 --> 00:11:58,815
Speaker 3: the pot the pot esh as they call it. You

218
00:11:58,855 --> 00:12:01,335
Speaker 3: can use that as a fertilizer. We do it from

219
00:12:01,415 --> 00:12:03,735
Speaker 3: now on, but not too much at the time so

220
00:12:03,775 --> 00:12:06,255
Speaker 3: that it becomes quite hot, you know what I mean.

221
00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:09,695
Speaker 3: When you put it on the soil, let's go so

222
00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:13,055
Speaker 3: so just a small amount and make sure that you

223
00:12:13,255 --> 00:12:15,535
Speaker 3: water it well in That is actually the best way

224
00:12:15,575 --> 00:12:17,815
Speaker 3: to do it. I've done that. I do it myself

225
00:12:17,855 --> 00:12:21,335
Speaker 3: from my own fireplace, and that is the place to

226
00:12:21,495 --> 00:12:27,255
Speaker 3: That is how you get plants to not only have

227
00:12:28,455 --> 00:12:33,815
Speaker 3: flowers but also set seeds or fruits. So for flowering

228
00:12:34,015 --> 00:12:37,975
Speaker 3: and fruits and seeds, that's sulfate of potash or the

229
00:12:37,975 --> 00:12:41,615
Speaker 3: potas that you get from your from your your fireplace

230
00:12:41,695 --> 00:12:46,575
Speaker 3: is excellent. Yeah, over the top, right, Okay, have a go.

231
00:12:47,135 --> 00:12:48,935
Speaker 2: All the very best to you. Good luck on that one.

232
00:12:48,975 --> 00:12:51,375
Speaker 2: Henry and Peter, good morning to.

233
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:53,695
Speaker 6: You, very good morning.

234
00:12:53,855 --> 00:12:57,175
Speaker 8: I'm confuious to what different points of view are about

235
00:12:58,375 --> 00:13:03,335
Speaker 8: a green gauge. There's a fridge one that they say

236
00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:10,255
Speaker 8: itself or something like rain cloud iris or something. Right,

237
00:13:10,695 --> 00:13:16,175
Speaker 8: golden drop might sort of encourage pollination. So and someone

238
00:13:16,695 --> 00:13:19,375
Speaker 8: says green graves are very hard to grow. Banks ponentiala

239
00:13:19,415 --> 00:13:23,975
Speaker 8: facing north. What do you it's close for? What do

240
00:13:23,975 --> 00:13:24,375
Speaker 8: you think?

241
00:13:25,215 --> 00:13:27,695
Speaker 3: I am on the porthills on the other side, on

242
00:13:27,775 --> 00:13:32,055
Speaker 3: the north facing side. No problem with rain claude at all.

243
00:13:32,175 --> 00:13:34,535
Speaker 3: There is heaps of that sort of stuff on the tree.

244
00:13:35,255 --> 00:13:37,695
Speaker 3: It doesn't there's hardly any frost, mind you where I

245
00:13:37,695 --> 00:13:41,415
Speaker 3: am because I'm at one hundred meters altitude. The frost

246
00:13:41,575 --> 00:13:45,015
Speaker 3: goes down. Yeah, yeah, and that is not not a

247
00:13:45,015 --> 00:13:48,175
Speaker 3: big deal. The point is that, in terms of pollination,

248
00:13:48,455 --> 00:13:52,095
Speaker 3: I don't think you do need a specific pollinator for

249
00:13:52,295 --> 00:13:54,895
Speaker 3: rain claude and that sort of stuff and the green gauge.

250
00:13:56,975 --> 00:13:59,175
Speaker 8: Right, so you've got green gauges, have you?

251
00:13:59,655 --> 00:14:03,215
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? And to be quite honest, there are other

252
00:14:03,335 --> 00:14:07,575
Speaker 3: plants nearby, other trees year by of that same sort

253
00:14:07,615 --> 00:14:11,295
Speaker 3: of group, and they may do a bit of cross pollination.

254
00:14:11,775 --> 00:14:14,455
Speaker 3: And if so, that's great, you know, but if you

255
00:14:14,655 --> 00:14:17,455
Speaker 3: just have one tree, I think you will get rain clawed.

256
00:14:17,575 --> 00:14:18,495
Speaker 3: I'm quite sure you do.

257
00:14:20,175 --> 00:14:21,655
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, thank you for that.

258
00:14:22,455 --> 00:14:23,495
Speaker 3: Yeah, have a go it.

259
00:14:24,695 --> 00:14:27,295
Speaker 8: Yeah, but how long before you got fruit?

260
00:14:28,775 --> 00:14:31,255
Speaker 3: Oh? How how old is the tree you planted?

261
00:14:32,855 --> 00:14:34,375
Speaker 8: I haven't planted, yeah, I just bought it.

262
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:34,695
Speaker 6: Though.

263
00:14:36,055 --> 00:14:38,135
Speaker 8: How long before you get fruit?

264
00:14:38,295 --> 00:14:39,015
Speaker 4: How old?

265
00:14:40,695 --> 00:14:41,495
Speaker 3: Maybe?

266
00:14:41,695 --> 00:14:41,815
Speaker 4: Uh?

267
00:14:43,255 --> 00:14:47,455
Speaker 3: Two years after? After that sort of stuff. But I've

268
00:14:47,455 --> 00:14:50,495
Speaker 3: got I've got a much better suggestion for you. If

269
00:14:50,535 --> 00:14:52,855
Speaker 3: it's just that sort of green gage in the rand

270
00:14:52,855 --> 00:14:56,495
Speaker 3: claude and all the other sort of plants or trees

271
00:14:56,575 --> 00:15:00,615
Speaker 3: like that, why don't you put two plants in one

272
00:15:00,735 --> 00:15:02,015
Speaker 3: hole when you dig them.

273
00:15:01,895 --> 00:15:05,775
Speaker 8: In, and they are two plants in one hole.

274
00:15:05,935 --> 00:15:09,735
Speaker 3: Yes, together and they will they will grow like one

275
00:15:09,975 --> 00:15:13,335
Speaker 3: tree if you like, and they will do they will

276
00:15:13,375 --> 00:15:16,575
Speaker 3: actually do also the cross pollination a lot better that way.

277
00:15:18,095 --> 00:15:20,615
Speaker 8: I've got two plants, so I'll do that. I was

278
00:15:20,615 --> 00:15:22,455
Speaker 8: going to plant them in different places, but I'll put

279
00:15:22,495 --> 00:15:24,135
Speaker 8: them right in the same hole.

280
00:15:24,775 --> 00:15:29,255
Speaker 3: Is that the same rain, claud you're talking about? Yes, Okay,

281
00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:31,375
Speaker 3: get a third one in the hole, which is a

282
00:15:31,415 --> 00:15:33,255
Speaker 3: different plumb again, different variety.

283
00:15:35,535 --> 00:15:37,735
Speaker 8: I've put three in the whole, yes, but.

284
00:15:37,975 --> 00:15:43,495
Speaker 3: What different varieties, and they will also they will also

285
00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:46,775
Speaker 3: do their their cross pollination to them to their mates

286
00:15:46,855 --> 00:15:48,575
Speaker 3: next door literally in the same hole.

287
00:15:50,095 --> 00:15:52,415
Speaker 8: Okay, so I've got to the same. So if I

288
00:15:52,455 --> 00:15:55,575
Speaker 8: get one different variety, I've already got two you've got.

289
00:15:55,735 --> 00:15:59,935
Speaker 3: You've got much better cross pollination. That were absolutely guarantee.

290
00:16:00,935 --> 00:16:06,855
Speaker 8: Okay, excellent way for a couple of years.

291
00:16:08,095 --> 00:16:12,695
Speaker 2: Fantastic, Isn't Isn't patience an integral part of being a gardener?

292
00:16:13,095 --> 00:16:16,815
Speaker 3: It is, yeah, absolutely, But you know it's going to

293
00:16:16,895 --> 00:16:19,655
Speaker 3: come and you're looking at every flower. That's what Julie

294
00:16:19,655 --> 00:16:21,255
Speaker 3: does when she gets up and look at oh this

295
00:16:21,295 --> 00:16:23,815
Speaker 3: is flowing, Oh this is you know exactly what's happening.

296
00:16:23,855 --> 00:16:28,095
Speaker 2: It's good funbulous Carol, A very good morning to you.

297
00:16:29,255 --> 00:16:33,055
Speaker 9: Good morning, Ruth. Look, I don't know whether I was

298
00:16:33,135 --> 00:16:35,975
Speaker 9: dreaming about pine needles or what, but I think i've

299
00:16:36,055 --> 00:16:41,655
Speaker 9: read the pine needles, tried pine needles a very good mulch,

300
00:16:42,015 --> 00:16:45,095
Speaker 9: especially for strawberries. Is that true or false?

301
00:16:46,135 --> 00:16:49,295
Speaker 3: I do not know. I've never used pine needles pine

302
00:16:49,295 --> 00:16:52,975
Speaker 3: needles for those things, I use the what do you

303
00:16:53,015 --> 00:16:55,095
Speaker 3: call that stuff? Piece?

304
00:16:55,175 --> 00:16:55,455
Speaker 2: Straw?

305
00:16:55,575 --> 00:16:58,655
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used pea straw on the top. And also

306
00:16:58,775 --> 00:17:00,575
Speaker 3: to have the plant as you plant. This is what

307
00:17:00,615 --> 00:17:02,815
Speaker 3: I'm going to be doing very soon as you As

308
00:17:02,815 --> 00:17:05,535
Speaker 3: you plant the plants, now you put it with pea

309
00:17:05,535 --> 00:17:08,135
Speaker 3: straw over the top, a little bit little hole so

310
00:17:08,175 --> 00:17:10,455
Speaker 3: that they can get light and all that. But the

311
00:17:10,495 --> 00:17:13,415
Speaker 3: important thing of pea straw in this case, and this

312
00:17:13,495 --> 00:17:17,575
Speaker 3: is where I don't know about your pines. The good

313
00:17:17,575 --> 00:17:19,815
Speaker 3: thing for pea straws is that when you get fruit,

314
00:17:20,215 --> 00:17:22,935
Speaker 3: you let the fruit go on top of the pea straw,

315
00:17:23,055 --> 00:17:25,895
Speaker 3: so they're not going to be in touch with the

316
00:17:26,055 --> 00:17:28,175
Speaker 3: very moist soil.

317
00:17:30,815 --> 00:17:34,775
Speaker 9: All right, Can you buy pea straw etc. From Miter

318
00:17:34,935 --> 00:17:36,575
Speaker 9: ten or somewhere like that.

319
00:17:37,175 --> 00:17:38,815
Speaker 3: Where are you which area.

320
00:17:41,095 --> 00:17:41,695
Speaker 9: WORKU?

321
00:17:42,335 --> 00:17:42,935
Speaker 3: We are you cool?

322
00:17:43,135 --> 00:17:43,535
Speaker 4: I know.

323
00:17:43,735 --> 00:17:45,895
Speaker 3: Go never look there might be the peastra. You might

324
00:17:45,935 --> 00:17:49,015
Speaker 3: have peace through there, pea straw there. It's quite a

325
00:17:49,135 --> 00:17:51,495
Speaker 3: South Island thing, by the way, I've noticed.

326
00:17:53,935 --> 00:17:57,295
Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, Well you don't know much about pine

327
00:17:57,295 --> 00:17:58,375
Speaker 9: needles either.

328
00:17:58,615 --> 00:18:01,175
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. I can tell you that they usually

329
00:18:01,215 --> 00:18:03,695
Speaker 3: I tell you why I'm saying that, because pine needles

330
00:18:03,735 --> 00:18:06,975
Speaker 3: are really good. If you want slightly more what do

331
00:18:07,015 --> 00:18:13,975
Speaker 3: you call it, the you need a pH that is

332
00:18:14,175 --> 00:18:17,095
Speaker 3: lower and pine needles do that when you put them on.

333
00:18:17,255 --> 00:18:20,215
Speaker 3: So if you use pine needles too much, for instance,

334
00:18:20,215 --> 00:18:23,855
Speaker 3: for your strawberries, your pH might go too far down.

335
00:18:24,455 --> 00:18:30,095
Speaker 3: In other it it becomes stu acidic. That's why. Yeah,

336
00:18:30,135 --> 00:18:32,455
Speaker 3: but that's why I was thinking of strawberries.

337
00:18:33,055 --> 00:18:35,855
Speaker 9: No, not necessarily. Strawberries are meant for anything.

338
00:18:36,535 --> 00:18:38,415
Speaker 3: Oh, you can use it for a lot of different things,

339
00:18:38,455 --> 00:18:42,055
Speaker 3: especially stuff like camellias that like a good a good

340
00:18:42,215 --> 00:18:44,415
Speaker 3: low pH.

341
00:18:44,695 --> 00:18:50,495
Speaker 9: Did not know that or what else besides garmelias.

342
00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:58,535
Speaker 3: Camellias, anything else that wants that wants a pH that

343
00:18:58,735 --> 00:19:01,575
Speaker 3: is of low level. If you like so nice and

344
00:19:01,575 --> 00:19:07,015
Speaker 3: and and and not sweet but quite sour, the go all.

345
00:19:06,975 --> 00:19:11,535
Speaker 2: Right, good luck with that, Carol, And I think we've

346
00:19:11,575 --> 00:19:14,975
Speaker 2: just got time for geness. Good morning, good.

347
00:19:14,815 --> 00:19:18,455
Speaker 10: Good morning there, Good morning to you both. Rude. Our

348
00:19:18,535 --> 00:19:24,775
Speaker 10: lawn here in Taranaki is beautiful and green, well kept

349
00:19:25,015 --> 00:19:28,135
Speaker 10: under the shade. But once the sun starts to come out,

350
00:19:28,495 --> 00:19:31,135
Speaker 10: the rest of the lawn looks as it's got the measles.

351
00:19:31,775 --> 00:19:35,895
Speaker 10: Oh but that it's just dry brown patches come through

352
00:19:35,935 --> 00:19:40,335
Speaker 10: on the lovely green lawn. No weeds, just I don't know,

353
00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:42,255
Speaker 10: the lawn just seems to die and patches.

354
00:19:42,855 --> 00:19:47,015
Speaker 3: Oh god, you don't have dogs that do the wheeze there,

355
00:19:47,415 --> 00:19:50,895
Speaker 3: not at all. No, okay, just asking, Okay, that could

356
00:19:50,935 --> 00:19:53,295
Speaker 3: be that could be something to do with fertilizer. Maybe

357
00:19:53,295 --> 00:19:55,895
Speaker 3: you would need to get some fertilizer for your lawns

358
00:19:56,295 --> 00:19:58,935
Speaker 3: to make it, to make it a little bit happier.

359
00:19:59,135 --> 00:20:01,695
Speaker 3: Go to your garden center, get the right stuff. You'll

360
00:20:01,695 --> 00:20:02,255
Speaker 3: be fine.

361
00:20:03,055 --> 00:20:06,655
Speaker 10: Okay, thank you very much, good morning, welcome to you.

362
00:20:06,855 --> 00:20:09,335
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for that, Jeanette, Yes, or is

363
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:14,295
Speaker 2: a bit disconcerting. Yeah, how I mean in terms of

364
00:20:14,335 --> 00:20:17,455
Speaker 2: the garden, I've been like, I like genuinely yesterday out

365
00:20:17,695 --> 00:20:20,175
Speaker 2: I was trying to do some painting and thought this

366
00:20:20,295 --> 00:20:22,895
Speaker 2: is great sunshining, but it was actually just a little

367
00:20:22,895 --> 00:20:25,615
Speaker 2: bit too warm. So as things are warming up, you

368
00:20:25,735 --> 00:20:29,495
Speaker 2: got fifteen seconds key things to do. I said, oh,

369
00:20:29,655 --> 00:20:32,735
Speaker 2: do warm in the garden right now. What's the thing

370
00:20:32,775 --> 00:20:34,415
Speaker 2: if you wanted to do a job in the garden

371
00:20:34,415 --> 00:20:35,135
Speaker 2: this week.

372
00:20:35,255 --> 00:20:37,975
Speaker 3: Water it, yeah, and put them and put some liquid

373
00:20:38,015 --> 00:20:39,855
Speaker 3: fertilizer on their boom. Perfect.

374
00:20:40,935 --> 00:20:42,935
Speaker 2: I'll get some today as well. All right mate, nice
