1 00:00:06,855 --> 00:00:10,695 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp 2 00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:11,975 Speaker 1: from News Talks EDB. 3 00:00:13,455 --> 00:00:15,615 Speaker 2: You and News Talks ed B. Had climb passed a 4 00:00:15,735 --> 00:00:16,615 Speaker 2: very good morning. 5 00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:20,575 Speaker 3: Sir, A very good morning to you. Trots Garden I have. 6 00:00:22,015 --> 00:00:22,255 Speaker 4: I have. 7 00:00:22,415 --> 00:00:23,455 Speaker 2: I was there yesterday. 8 00:00:23,895 --> 00:00:29,815 Speaker 3: There's only a bugger. You should have told me anyway, 9 00:00:30,055 --> 00:00:30,815 Speaker 3: Is it that lovely? 10 00:00:31,015 --> 00:00:34,095 Speaker 2: It's absolutely gorgeous. I mean, look to be fair South 11 00:00:34,095 --> 00:00:36,535 Speaker 2: Island at the moment. What a beautiful time of year 12 00:00:36,695 --> 00:00:39,735 Speaker 2: to be there. So just briefly I ended up flying 13 00:00:39,815 --> 00:00:42,735 Speaker 2: into christ Church Friday morning, went out and had a 14 00:00:42,735 --> 00:00:47,175 Speaker 2: look at the SIPs Foremance SIPs factory, drove out through 15 00:00:47,255 --> 00:00:51,415 Speaker 2: the Rakaiah Gorge Methven, had a toasted sandwich there, into Geraldine, 16 00:00:51,455 --> 00:00:55,455 Speaker 2: to the Military Museum, down to Timaru home, shown Timaru 17 00:00:55,935 --> 00:01:00,095 Speaker 2: back up and Rob, who I know because our parents 18 00:01:00,135 --> 00:01:04,415 Speaker 2: were friends right back in the day. He sent me 19 00:01:04,415 --> 00:01:06,895 Speaker 2: a message via the old Facebook and said, hey, look 20 00:01:06,895 --> 00:01:10,095 Speaker 2: stop by, and so I did it. And it's absolutely gorgeous. 21 00:01:10,775 --> 00:01:13,335 Speaker 2: Trot's garden beautiful. 22 00:01:13,215 --> 00:01:17,535 Speaker 3: Allan Trot's been years of course he made this amazing place. 23 00:01:17,655 --> 00:01:21,055 Speaker 2: Yes, wonderful, it's stunning and you know, all the rhododendrons 24 00:01:21,095 --> 00:01:25,015 Speaker 2: are full and the magnolias are coming out and just wonderful. Yeah, no, 25 00:01:25,055 --> 00:01:27,455 Speaker 2: it it was really nice to wander around. It's just gorgeous, 26 00:01:27,655 --> 00:01:30,655 Speaker 2: so beautiful part of the country and a beautiful time 27 00:01:30,655 --> 00:01:31,335 Speaker 2: a year to be there. 28 00:01:32,295 --> 00:01:35,415 Speaker 3: It certainly is. I totally agree with you, because although 29 00:01:35,415 --> 00:01:37,215 Speaker 3: in the next few weeks I'm going to be in Auckland, 30 00:01:38,415 --> 00:01:40,255 Speaker 3: so I'll see you probably next week in the studio. 31 00:01:40,375 --> 00:01:41,775 Speaker 3: I'll make sure i'll do that. 32 00:01:41,855 --> 00:01:42,495 Speaker 2: That'll be awesome. 33 00:01:42,615 --> 00:01:46,455 Speaker 3: And something else. Remember you sent me an email from 34 00:01:46,575 --> 00:01:49,295 Speaker 3: a lady who said I've got troubles getting mad X too. 35 00:01:49,615 --> 00:01:51,815 Speaker 2: Yeah, hasn't been phased out. 36 00:01:51,935 --> 00:01:55,135 Speaker 3: Is that the issue? No, it's not at all. It's 37 00:01:55,415 --> 00:01:59,095 Speaker 3: just that the key industries are the people that import it. 38 00:01:59,535 --> 00:02:03,015 Speaker 3: This is so just to make sure that everybody understands 39 00:02:03,575 --> 00:02:07,535 Speaker 3: MADEX comes into two versions. If you like MADX three 40 00:02:07,655 --> 00:02:10,775 Speaker 3: and MEDX two, it is basically made I think in 41 00:02:10,935 --> 00:02:17,855 Speaker 3: Switzerland something like that, and Key industry basically got both 42 00:02:18,055 --> 00:02:21,495 Speaker 3: things in. But the MADX two was is a bit 43 00:02:21,535 --> 00:02:25,535 Speaker 3: of a tricky thing to work with. It did not 44 00:02:25,815 --> 00:02:28,415 Speaker 3: sell as well for the simple reason that a lot 45 00:02:28,575 --> 00:02:32,095 Speaker 3: of the garden centers that stocked. It did not stock 46 00:02:32,175 --> 00:02:34,935 Speaker 3: it in a fridge is where you need to have it, 47 00:02:35,255 --> 00:02:37,775 Speaker 3: so there's some costs involved with that. You can imagine 48 00:02:37,775 --> 00:02:40,855 Speaker 3: that would have trouble. MADX three, on the other hand, 49 00:02:41,015 --> 00:02:46,735 Speaker 3: is the professional material that growers that orchidist use. MADX 50 00:02:46,815 --> 00:02:50,735 Speaker 3: three is everywhere available if you look for that. We 51 00:02:51,055 --> 00:02:54,295 Speaker 3: know it's a bit more expensive, but the right The 52 00:02:54,455 --> 00:02:56,815 Speaker 3: nice thing is I've got madx three from five years 53 00:02:56,855 --> 00:03:01,135 Speaker 3: ago that I store in the freezer and it is 54 00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:05,335 Speaker 3: still perfectly working. So if you get, for instance, one 55 00:03:05,415 --> 00:03:08,095 Speaker 3: bottle of medics which is larger than the Medix two, 56 00:03:08,415 --> 00:03:11,055 Speaker 3: and you shared with a couple of neighbors, you basically 57 00:03:11,255 --> 00:03:13,815 Speaker 3: end up a lot cheaper off and it will work 58 00:03:13,895 --> 00:03:15,375 Speaker 3: for a long long time. 59 00:03:15,615 --> 00:03:19,815 Speaker 2: And obviously it's it's effective in terms of controlling coddling. 60 00:03:19,575 --> 00:03:25,455 Speaker 3: Moth, unbelievably effective. You may have to do it. I 61 00:03:25,695 --> 00:03:29,815 Speaker 3: think that official growers do it three four times a year. 62 00:03:29,935 --> 00:03:32,415 Speaker 3: I do it maybe twice time, twice a year, and 63 00:03:32,615 --> 00:03:36,575 Speaker 3: I still have ninety nine percent no coddling moth. The 64 00:03:36,775 --> 00:03:40,175 Speaker 3: odd one that whatever, I don't care it's too much, 65 00:03:40,335 --> 00:03:43,135 Speaker 3: but it works fabulously. And the cool thing is Peter. 66 00:03:43,615 --> 00:03:46,815 Speaker 3: It is a virus that you're spraying around on the 67 00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:53,615 Speaker 3: developing fruit. The virus only kills codling moth caterpillars, nothing else, 68 00:03:54,735 --> 00:03:58,655 Speaker 3: so it's really very specific specific. And don't forget to 69 00:03:58,735 --> 00:04:03,335 Speaker 3: do your walnuts and your crab apples as well, because 70 00:04:03,375 --> 00:04:06,215 Speaker 3: they can have the same pest called coddling moth. 71 00:04:07,175 --> 00:04:11,055 Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic, thanks for theo on that, Emma. A very 72 00:04:11,095 --> 00:04:11,735 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 73 00:04:12,935 --> 00:04:13,855 Speaker 5: Good morning. How are you? 74 00:04:15,135 --> 00:04:15,735 Speaker 3: Thank you? Emma. 75 00:04:18,255 --> 00:04:21,255 Speaker 4: I have a row of Portuguese laurels and they're all 76 00:04:21,335 --> 00:04:24,375 Speaker 4: doing really well, but I have one in particular that 77 00:04:25,135 --> 00:04:29,095 Speaker 4: is not looking flesh. The leaves are sort of turned 78 00:04:29,255 --> 00:04:31,855 Speaker 4: down and the rest of them are just starting to 79 00:04:31,975 --> 00:04:34,975 Speaker 4: really green up and push up again, and I'm a 80 00:04:35,015 --> 00:04:39,455 Speaker 4: bit worried. I've actually replaced the same laurel last year. 81 00:04:39,535 --> 00:04:41,855 Speaker 4: The same thing happens, and I'm beginning to wonder if 82 00:04:41,895 --> 00:04:42,455 Speaker 4: it's the soil. 83 00:04:43,455 --> 00:04:44,975 Speaker 3: I was just going to say, did you put it 84 00:04:45,055 --> 00:04:45,815 Speaker 3: in the same spot. 85 00:04:47,095 --> 00:04:49,775 Speaker 4: I did dig out quite a bit of soil and 86 00:04:49,855 --> 00:04:54,015 Speaker 4: replace some that I am I've been spraying and feeding 87 00:04:54,775 --> 00:04:55,975 Speaker 4: and the same things happening. 88 00:04:56,615 --> 00:04:59,695 Speaker 3: So what are the symptoms symptoms? Emma? You say that 89 00:04:59,815 --> 00:05:01,175 Speaker 3: the leaves are starting to droop. 90 00:05:02,655 --> 00:05:03,375 Speaker 4: Yes they are. 91 00:05:04,175 --> 00:05:06,655 Speaker 3: And then what happens? Did you let them go down 92 00:05:06,735 --> 00:05:08,655 Speaker 3: the gurglers so that the whole thing died. 93 00:05:09,975 --> 00:05:12,455 Speaker 4: Yeah, the whole thing dies, or the leaves dropped off, 94 00:05:12,775 --> 00:05:15,175 Speaker 4: and I dug the old one out, so I didn't 95 00:05:15,215 --> 00:05:17,855 Speaker 4: want the rest of them to go. 96 00:05:18,015 --> 00:05:18,935 Speaker 5: Down as well. 97 00:05:19,615 --> 00:05:21,655 Speaker 3: I'm going to have a look at this. I am 98 00:05:21,735 --> 00:05:24,695 Speaker 3: not sure because I haven't I've not got great experience 99 00:05:24,735 --> 00:05:28,855 Speaker 3: with Portuguese laurel. I may have to look this up. 100 00:05:29,335 --> 00:05:32,855 Speaker 3: What I would like you to do? Then you give 101 00:05:34,375 --> 00:05:38,935 Speaker 3: uh Sia your number so I can call you later on. Yes, 102 00:05:39,215 --> 00:05:43,455 Speaker 3: of course, just down the one and down and I'll 103 00:05:43,495 --> 00:05:45,535 Speaker 3: give you a call later on when I'm home. 104 00:05:45,615 --> 00:05:45,775 Speaker 6: And I. 105 00:05:47,335 --> 00:05:50,775 Speaker 2: Quick text Rut. Could you ask rud what the best 106 00:05:50,855 --> 00:05:53,535 Speaker 2: type of lemon tree for Timaru with the conditions? Well, 107 00:05:53,535 --> 00:05:55,055 Speaker 2: Timuru yesterday was gorgeous. 108 00:05:55,975 --> 00:05:59,735 Speaker 3: Good. I think the best ones are the normal, the 109 00:05:59,855 --> 00:06:02,855 Speaker 3: normal lemons that we always get, not the ben yen 110 00:06:03,015 --> 00:06:07,055 Speaker 3: and the other bits and pieces, but your regular regular lemon. 111 00:06:07,135 --> 00:06:09,455 Speaker 3: And I've totally forgotten the name of the damn thing. 112 00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:12,815 Speaker 3: But that's not a problem. That's the most hardy in 113 00:06:12,935 --> 00:06:15,335 Speaker 3: terms of frost, for instance, and that sort of stuff, 114 00:06:15,575 --> 00:06:17,735 Speaker 3: and if we can grow it quite well in Canterbury, 115 00:06:17,775 --> 00:06:19,215 Speaker 3: you can certainly do it in Timoru. 116 00:06:19,735 --> 00:06:22,055 Speaker 2: Wonderful, right, you know, Robert, A very good morning to you, 117 00:06:23,175 --> 00:06:23,815 Speaker 2: big morning. 118 00:06:24,935 --> 00:06:28,295 Speaker 7: I'd like to ask Rude about a problem of grass 119 00:06:28,375 --> 00:06:30,655 Speaker 7: grubs in my lawn which is devastated. 120 00:06:32,935 --> 00:06:33,135 Speaker 1: Is that? 121 00:06:33,375 --> 00:06:33,735 Speaker 6: So? What? 122 00:06:34,535 --> 00:06:37,615 Speaker 3: How okay? In your lawn grass grub You've got these 123 00:06:37,655 --> 00:06:40,135 Speaker 3: little grubs that are going, if you like, at root 124 00:06:40,255 --> 00:06:42,135 Speaker 3: level of the grass, those. 125 00:06:42,055 --> 00:06:45,855 Speaker 7: Little coy all they must have come out of the ground, 126 00:06:45,895 --> 00:06:49,815 Speaker 7: because the stones come down by the hundreds and take 127 00:06:49,895 --> 00:06:52,415 Speaker 7: them up and there's just thousands of little holes in 128 00:06:52,535 --> 00:06:53,255 Speaker 7: the ground. 129 00:06:54,095 --> 00:06:57,815 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got it all right. That is very likely 130 00:06:57,975 --> 00:06:59,855 Speaker 3: some of the grass grubs, or one of the grass 131 00:06:59,975 --> 00:07:03,935 Speaker 3: grub species, if you like, And it used to be 132 00:07:04,135 --> 00:07:07,935 Speaker 3: something that was not very easy to control. But I 133 00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:11,095 Speaker 3: do have some reasonably good news, although I've also got 134 00:07:11,135 --> 00:07:13,255 Speaker 3: some bad news. The bad news is that there's no 135 00:07:13,415 --> 00:07:15,935 Speaker 3: point in spraying it now because those things are literally 136 00:07:16,335 --> 00:07:19,175 Speaker 3: coming to the tops of the soil and will fly out, 137 00:07:19,895 --> 00:07:21,455 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So you're a bit late 138 00:07:21,615 --> 00:07:24,375 Speaker 3: in the season for that, mind you. The starlings do 139 00:07:24,455 --> 00:07:28,255 Speaker 3: a great job by burying, no by picking them up, 140 00:07:28,735 --> 00:07:31,255 Speaker 3: digging them up and eating them. So you might be 141 00:07:31,295 --> 00:07:33,655 Speaker 3: all right in this case. But let me tell you 142 00:07:33,775 --> 00:07:35,655 Speaker 3: this way. There is a material on the market that 143 00:07:35,895 --> 00:07:41,575 Speaker 3: is basically in this case sold by Kiwi Care. You 144 00:07:41,655 --> 00:07:43,415 Speaker 3: might have seen that in the shops. 145 00:07:44,295 --> 00:07:44,735 Speaker 4: And it is. 146 00:07:46,295 --> 00:07:48,735 Speaker 3: Kiwi Cares is a company here that is actually based 147 00:07:48,735 --> 00:07:54,695 Speaker 3: in crushes, and it's a silly print. It's called Yates 148 00:07:54,855 --> 00:07:58,375 Speaker 3: have got a grub and Purrhina spray. Probably. I think 149 00:07:58,375 --> 00:08:03,255 Speaker 3: it's the same active ingredient as Kiwi Cares that you 150 00:08:03,375 --> 00:08:06,175 Speaker 3: need to spray at you know, earlier, if you like, 151 00:08:06,415 --> 00:08:09,375 Speaker 3: in the year, But that will work now much better 152 00:08:09,495 --> 00:08:11,455 Speaker 3: to control the grass, grub and lawns. 153 00:08:15,575 --> 00:08:18,895 Speaker 7: So I have to wait for autumn or do it now. 154 00:08:19,575 --> 00:08:21,855 Speaker 3: I know, Well, you could try it now, but I'm 155 00:08:21,895 --> 00:08:24,095 Speaker 3: not sure if you can really get them all you 156 00:08:24,135 --> 00:08:26,735 Speaker 3: can ever go. But I think it would be better 157 00:08:26,855 --> 00:08:27,975 Speaker 3: to do that in autumn time. 158 00:08:28,095 --> 00:08:34,095 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah great, because man, it's absolutely devastated 159 00:08:34,175 --> 00:08:34,575 Speaker 7: the lawn. 160 00:08:35,375 --> 00:08:39,095 Speaker 3: Hm hmmm mmmm. This is probably one of the reasons 161 00:08:39,175 --> 00:08:41,815 Speaker 3: I don't care about lawn, you know what I mean? 162 00:08:42,135 --> 00:08:43,255 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. 163 00:08:43,575 --> 00:08:43,815 Speaker 4: I know. 164 00:08:44,735 --> 00:08:52,055 Speaker 7: Years ago around up the whole lawn and and put 165 00:08:52,175 --> 00:08:55,415 Speaker 7: fertilizer down and resowed the grass, and for two or 166 00:08:55,455 --> 00:08:58,855 Speaker 7: three or four years it was absolutely magnificent. And from 167 00:08:58,895 --> 00:09:00,775 Speaker 7: there on it's just got worse and worse. But I 168 00:09:00,815 --> 00:09:03,695 Speaker 7: guess that's my problem for probably not looking at it. 169 00:09:04,215 --> 00:09:07,455 Speaker 2: I see you're paying Robert. I know exactly you've been through. 170 00:09:08,495 --> 00:09:08,655 Speaker 5: Now. 171 00:09:08,735 --> 00:09:09,655 Speaker 2: It's just cocuia. 172 00:09:09,855 --> 00:09:10,415 Speaker 3: Just let it go. 173 00:09:10,775 --> 00:09:12,695 Speaker 2: It's the only thing that doesn't brown off in Auckland 174 00:09:12,775 --> 00:09:15,375 Speaker 2: and summer. Right, we're going to take a short break. 175 00:09:15,415 --> 00:09:17,015 Speaker 2: We'll talk to Gail and just a moment. If you'd 176 00:09:17,095 --> 00:09:18,575 Speaker 2: like to join us, we'd love to hear from you. 177 00:09:18,695 --> 00:09:20,855 Speaker 2: It is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. That's the 178 00:09:20,975 --> 00:09:24,455 Speaker 2: number to call. Just a quick text about the maddox. 179 00:09:25,455 --> 00:09:29,615 Speaker 2: Someone's saying, Amanda's saying, do you use it before you 180 00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:32,215 Speaker 2: see signs of coddling moth as a preventative or do 181 00:09:32,295 --> 00:09:34,815 Speaker 2: you wait until you've actually seen the coddling moth? 182 00:09:35,415 --> 00:09:38,215 Speaker 3: No, there's two there's two things you can do. You 183 00:09:38,295 --> 00:09:41,655 Speaker 3: can have one of those pheromone traps that tell you 184 00:09:41,895 --> 00:09:45,175 Speaker 3: immediately when coddling moth are flying that need you have 185 00:09:45,255 --> 00:09:48,335 Speaker 3: to check it every day. Then you have ten days 186 00:09:49,815 --> 00:09:55,495 Speaker 3: a time to spray that maddox onto your developing tiny apples. 187 00:09:55,975 --> 00:09:58,975 Speaker 3: Just you know what happens when the apple blossom falls off, 188 00:09:59,215 --> 00:10:02,135 Speaker 3: is you get these tiny apples. You are you aware 189 00:10:02,415 --> 00:10:06,935 Speaker 3: the old English name for the tiny apples is a coddling. Huh, 190 00:10:07,775 --> 00:10:10,695 Speaker 3: that's why it's right, okay anyway, so yes, So you've 191 00:10:10,695 --> 00:10:12,735 Speaker 3: got ten days to actually do that, because that's when 192 00:10:12,775 --> 00:10:15,775 Speaker 3: the eggs hatch and the caterpillars will go into those 193 00:10:15,775 --> 00:10:19,295 Speaker 3: little coddlings and start start off with the damage already. 194 00:10:19,815 --> 00:10:22,495 Speaker 3: The second time will be a couple of months later 195 00:10:22,735 --> 00:10:28,335 Speaker 3: in in in more towards summer, when a second generation 196 00:10:28,455 --> 00:10:31,175 Speaker 3: of codling moth could do more damage. So that's the 197 00:10:31,255 --> 00:10:32,135 Speaker 3: point you've got. 198 00:10:32,175 --> 00:10:36,175 Speaker 2: Brilliant, that's gright in FORO. Gail, good morning, Good morning. 199 00:10:36,775 --> 00:10:41,095 Speaker 8: I've got a problem with my deciders, magnoledgers. They're quite 200 00:10:41,215 --> 00:10:44,095 Speaker 8: young and but they were shooting away and they do 201 00:10:44,335 --> 00:10:48,055 Speaker 8: really well here. But I've got them cut back and 202 00:10:48,175 --> 00:10:51,575 Speaker 8: now they've got very just storted leaves. I'm really worried. 203 00:10:52,375 --> 00:10:55,175 Speaker 8: They're all curly and sort of they're still green, but 204 00:10:55,975 --> 00:10:59,335 Speaker 8: very curly, and they look terrible. 205 00:11:00,295 --> 00:11:03,615 Speaker 3: Have you have you had what's your story like? Is 206 00:11:03,615 --> 00:11:04,215 Speaker 3: it a bit dry? 207 00:11:05,655 --> 00:11:05,815 Speaker 5: Yes? 208 00:11:05,935 --> 00:11:08,415 Speaker 8: Could be that try that. You know, I live on 209 00:11:08,495 --> 00:11:10,655 Speaker 8: the way Cato and a train door, wouldn't he So 210 00:11:11,055 --> 00:11:11,975 Speaker 8: that's been normal. 211 00:11:12,695 --> 00:11:17,215 Speaker 3: Yeah, but quite often what I remember from magnolias, they're 212 00:11:17,295 --> 00:11:20,135 Speaker 3: quite shallow rooted, if you like. And that means that 213 00:11:20,255 --> 00:11:22,455 Speaker 3: if you've got a couple of weeks of no rain 214 00:11:22,575 --> 00:11:25,775 Speaker 3: at all and it becomes dry, that the trees start 215 00:11:25,855 --> 00:11:29,455 Speaker 3: to do this this strange curly and hanging off the leaves. 216 00:11:30,295 --> 00:11:34,775 Speaker 8: Yes, well half of one bush is fine, but the 217 00:11:34,895 --> 00:11:35,455 Speaker 8: other half. 218 00:11:36,655 --> 00:11:40,415 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that is that, you know what, Just try 219 00:11:40,495 --> 00:11:42,815 Speaker 3: it out to see if that particular part of that 220 00:11:42,935 --> 00:11:47,015 Speaker 3: bush that is fine is relatively wetter than the other side. 221 00:11:47,295 --> 00:11:50,055 Speaker 3: Quite often it's a moisture thing with these things. 222 00:11:51,215 --> 00:11:54,095 Speaker 8: Oh well, I wondered if perhaps we made a mistake 223 00:11:54,175 --> 00:11:55,775 Speaker 8: cutting them back after flowering. 224 00:11:57,855 --> 00:12:00,735 Speaker 3: Ah, maybe you've been a bit too rough with it. 225 00:12:01,455 --> 00:12:04,135 Speaker 3: Do you think you've done a bit too much? Yeah, 226 00:12:04,215 --> 00:12:10,175 Speaker 3: maybe maybe that could be. Could be. I find it 227 00:12:10,255 --> 00:12:11,135 Speaker 3: hard to tell from. 228 00:12:11,015 --> 00:12:16,455 Speaker 8: This distance, but they're very distorted and green and curly 229 00:12:16,575 --> 00:12:17,615 Speaker 8: and look horrible. 230 00:12:18,775 --> 00:12:21,455 Speaker 3: It might be something like that. There's no nobody sprayed 231 00:12:21,495 --> 00:12:24,415 Speaker 3: any weed killers around there, age, No, that's what I 232 00:12:24,615 --> 00:12:28,015 Speaker 3: wonder that. No, okay, that's another option. See, I've got 233 00:12:28,055 --> 00:12:30,575 Speaker 3: lots of these options, but I don't think so. There 234 00:12:30,575 --> 00:12:35,455 Speaker 3: you are sulking after sulking. It might be okay, listen, 235 00:12:35,975 --> 00:12:38,575 Speaker 3: just fertilize it a little bit, just a little bit, 236 00:12:38,695 --> 00:12:41,295 Speaker 3: not going over the top. Put the water back on. 237 00:12:41,495 --> 00:12:46,495 Speaker 3: So liquid fertile ago, liquid fertilizer easily, and see and 238 00:12:46,575 --> 00:12:48,375 Speaker 3: see if that plant will restore itself. 239 00:12:48,495 --> 00:12:50,735 Speaker 2: Nice one. Good luck with that, Gail, Hope it all 240 00:12:50,775 --> 00:12:54,255 Speaker 2: goes well and clear. Tell me about your wedding cake tree. 241 00:12:55,615 --> 00:12:56,215 Speaker 4: And what not. 242 00:12:57,815 --> 00:13:00,735 Speaker 9: I'm not sure what the official name is, but Rudel 243 00:13:00,895 --> 00:13:03,535 Speaker 9: was wondering what ton of years this plant? A winning 244 00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:07,415 Speaker 9: cake tree. Obviously that's not worth the true formal name 245 00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:09,375 Speaker 9: of it. But I saw that the first time I 246 00:13:09,415 --> 00:13:11,735 Speaker 9: saw them was down at Lantt Castle. There was three 247 00:13:11,775 --> 00:13:13,655 Speaker 9: in a row that was just beautiful. 248 00:13:14,375 --> 00:13:16,935 Speaker 3: It's one of the cornerses, isn't it corners? 249 00:13:18,735 --> 00:13:19,055 Speaker 6: I think? 250 00:13:19,495 --> 00:13:22,935 Speaker 3: I'm yeah. The best time to plant those things is 251 00:13:22,975 --> 00:13:26,655 Speaker 3: really winter time. And I must say, you're getting a 252 00:13:26,695 --> 00:13:29,495 Speaker 3: bit late. But if you are promising not to go 253 00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:34,095 Speaker 3: on holiday and and you you know what I mean, 254 00:13:35,215 --> 00:13:38,695 Speaker 3: I don't, I don't there you go now.

They were just beautiful and 260 00:13:52,455 --> 00:13:54,495 Speaker 9: I asked the gardeners what they were the first time 261 00:13:54,495 --> 00:13:55,735 Speaker 9: I'd ever seen anything like it. 262 00:13:56,735 --> 00:14:03,175 Speaker 2: Corners controversa very gata. There you go, wonderful. 263 00:14:04,415 --> 00:14:06,295 Speaker 9: I'll either get going or wait till next week. 264 00:14:06,855 --> 00:14:10,015 Speaker 2: Yeah, ob bastly clear. You take care, thank you? And 265 00:14:10,215 --> 00:14:12,655 Speaker 2: Diane hello there, oh. 266 00:14:12,655 --> 00:14:18,135 Speaker 5: Good morning roods. I have some books ten no, fifteen 267 00:14:19,495 --> 00:14:23,615 Speaker 5: blossom trees, and we've planted five of them. We're about 268 00:14:23,655 --> 00:14:28,335 Speaker 5: to plant the other ten, and I want to know 269 00:14:29,495 --> 00:14:32,415 Speaker 5: how do you feed them? You rave on about the 270 00:14:34,055 --> 00:14:36,895 Speaker 5: the weshn't forget What is it that. 271 00:14:38,695 --> 00:14:41,655 Speaker 3: Seaweede that use enormous amounts? 272 00:14:42,935 --> 00:14:45,535 Speaker 5: Is that good for tree? 273 00:14:46,015 --> 00:14:46,175 Speaker 4: Yes? 274 00:14:46,255 --> 00:14:48,535 Speaker 3: It is absolutely. Tell me, first of all, what do 275 00:14:48,655 --> 00:14:49,695 Speaker 3: you call a blossom tree? 276 00:14:49,775 --> 00:14:49,895 Speaker 1: Is it? 277 00:14:49,975 --> 00:14:51,615 Speaker 3: What species is it? What kind is it? 278 00:14:53,015 --> 00:15:00,775 Speaker 5: The spreading ones are our I'm not yes, yes, And 279 00:15:01,055 --> 00:15:06,775 Speaker 5: the other one is an upright instead of the spreading has. 280 00:15:06,735 --> 00:15:07,455 Speaker 3: It flowered yet? 281 00:15:10,015 --> 00:15:13,815 Speaker 5: The stems about five meters and then you've got the 282 00:15:15,455 --> 00:15:19,615 Speaker 5: some blossom on the top. And now they're going green leaves. 283 00:15:20,175 --> 00:15:23,215 Speaker 3: Okay, So but did you have a reasonable amount of 284 00:15:23,335 --> 00:15:24,455 Speaker 3: blossom before? 285 00:15:27,255 --> 00:15:29,575 Speaker 5: Well, I've only just put them on the ground. I've 286 00:15:29,695 --> 00:15:33,215 Speaker 5: been here for probably a month and there wasn't a 287 00:15:33,335 --> 00:15:36,775 Speaker 5: lot of blossom. It wasn't obviously the first year that 288 00:15:36,855 --> 00:15:39,375 Speaker 5: they're okay, yeah, flat out all right. 289 00:15:39,455 --> 00:15:41,015 Speaker 3: This is what I do with these trees. And this 290 00:15:41,175 --> 00:15:42,855 Speaker 3: is always a good trick. So if five, for instance, 291 00:15:42,895 --> 00:15:45,255 Speaker 3: come back to these two wait and forget products. One 292 00:15:45,615 --> 00:15:49,055 Speaker 3: of them is called seafood soup and the other one 293 00:15:49,175 --> 00:15:52,375 Speaker 3: is called the seaweed tea. Now, the seafood soup is 294 00:15:52,415 --> 00:15:55,255 Speaker 3: a material that I would use on plants if they 295 00:15:55,335 --> 00:15:58,495 Speaker 3: don't flower. That means that you're actually getting more browannches, 296 00:15:58,535 --> 00:16:02,455 Speaker 3: you're getting sturdier branches, you're getting good plant health just 297 00:16:02,615 --> 00:16:05,495 Speaker 3: before the flowers should be coming. That would be let's 298 00:16:05,495 --> 00:16:08,175 Speaker 3: say a month of go for next year, you know 299 00:16:08,255 --> 00:16:11,455 Speaker 3: what I mean. I will start the seaweed tea on 300 00:16:11,575 --> 00:16:15,655 Speaker 3: a reasonably regular basis because that will put the flower 301 00:16:15,735 --> 00:16:19,615 Speaker 3: buds in a good space to do to flower. So 302 00:16:19,815 --> 00:16:22,495 Speaker 3: seweet tea is more has got far more potash in 303 00:16:22,575 --> 00:16:27,775 Speaker 3: it than the seafood soup. But I was I was missed, miss. 304 00:16:27,975 --> 00:16:30,375 Speaker 3: I have to think about what they're called, because they 305 00:16:30,455 --> 00:16:33,095 Speaker 3: sound the same, don't they. But anyway, you got you go, 306 00:16:33,295 --> 00:16:35,895 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So general fertilizer from now on, 307 00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:38,335 Speaker 3: every now and then. And what I could what you 308 00:16:38,455 --> 00:16:40,775 Speaker 3: could do is do an autumn time, do a bit 309 00:16:40,815 --> 00:16:43,815 Speaker 3: of seaweet tea to get some potash to set the 310 00:16:43,935 --> 00:16:46,895 Speaker 3: buds for flowering for next year, and do it again 311 00:16:47,175 --> 00:16:48,135 Speaker 3: when it all starts. 312 00:16:49,415 --> 00:16:53,615 Speaker 5: So the seaweed tea. And about what season did you. 313 00:16:53,655 --> 00:16:56,735 Speaker 3: Say, Let's let's say a little bit of seaweetea before 314 00:16:56,775 --> 00:17:00,375 Speaker 3: it becomes autumn, and then do it, and then do 315 00:17:00,535 --> 00:17:04,175 Speaker 3: it just as the buds are coming in springtime again 316 00:17:04,415 --> 00:17:07,135 Speaker 3: that is the time when the park really likes you. 317 00:17:07,895 --> 00:17:10,775 Speaker 5: And just just one so we'll give it a few goes, 318 00:17:11,455 --> 00:17:11,895 Speaker 5: a few. 319 00:17:11,815 --> 00:17:16,655 Speaker 3: Goes every every four or five days. Boom easy, yep. 320 00:17:17,615 --> 00:17:22,935 Speaker 5: And the other one, the seafood soup is what regularly. 321 00:17:23,095 --> 00:17:26,655 Speaker 3: Yeah, every every two two weeks, three weeks or so. 322 00:17:27,215 --> 00:17:29,175 Speaker 5: Yeah, all it's life. 323 00:17:30,695 --> 00:17:36,495 Speaker 3: The only when not in winter? No, okay, just a 324 00:17:36,535 --> 00:17:38,255 Speaker 3: little bit. Yeah no, you don't have to go over 325 00:17:38,335 --> 00:17:41,215 Speaker 3: the top, you know. But what I do with the 326 00:17:41,295 --> 00:17:43,895 Speaker 3: seaweed sewete and seafood soupers. I put it in a 327 00:17:44,055 --> 00:17:46,735 Speaker 3: in a in a in a in a can, you know, 328 00:17:46,855 --> 00:17:50,055 Speaker 3: watering can, and I make it very weak so it 329 00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:53,535 Speaker 3: looks like them. No no, no, no, no no no, 330 00:17:53,655 --> 00:17:56,135 Speaker 3: hang on you can. The good thing about these things 331 00:17:56,255 --> 00:17:58,135 Speaker 3: is that you can also put it on a hose 332 00:17:58,735 --> 00:18:01,615 Speaker 3: and let it do. Let the hose do the job 333 00:18:01,775 --> 00:18:04,055 Speaker 3: of taking enough of it, doubt in the water stream, 334 00:18:04,535 --> 00:18:06,815 Speaker 3: so you can do it by the hose. Say for 335 00:18:06,975 --> 00:18:07,655 Speaker 3: fifteen trees. 336 00:18:08,535 --> 00:18:13,695 Speaker 2: Okayrilliant, fantastic love enjoyed, Diane, Thank you very much.

One tree would be about 342 00:18:28,175 --> 00:18:32,455 Speaker 6: now three and a half meters high and doing really healthily. 343 00:18:33,215 --> 00:18:38,295 Speaker 6: The other one is struggling quite yellow leaves and there's 344 00:18:38,655 --> 00:18:42,735 Speaker 6: only about two meters high. All the other plants around 345 00:18:42,815 --> 00:18:46,935 Speaker 6: the garden and around that three are healthy and that 346 00:18:47,055 --> 00:18:49,895 Speaker 6: one is not, and that one is not planted and 347 00:18:50,015 --> 00:18:51,095 Speaker 6: treated the same. 348 00:18:51,735 --> 00:18:53,455 Speaker 3: So how long ago? How old are they? 349 00:18:55,575 --> 00:18:56,135 Speaker 6: Eight years? 350 00:18:56,575 --> 00:18:59,175 Speaker 3: Eight years? Okay? Well, in that case, I think it 351 00:18:59,295 --> 00:19:01,615 Speaker 3: might be that particular tree. There might be something wrong 352 00:19:01,695 --> 00:19:06,055 Speaker 3: with that thing, and do you as all you want? Yeah, 353 00:19:06,375 --> 00:19:08,015 Speaker 3: you go, and it's been struggling all its life, So 354 00:19:08,095 --> 00:19:10,695 Speaker 3: there is either something in the soil or there's something 355 00:19:10,775 --> 00:19:13,735 Speaker 3: not right genetically with that thing, you know what I mean. 356 00:19:14,495 --> 00:19:18,775 Speaker 6: Yeah, we we have treated a bit whole garden in 357 00:19:18,895 --> 00:19:22,215 Speaker 6: the in and around that same area the same, and 358 00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:24,935 Speaker 6: all other plants and trees are healthy. 359 00:19:25,735 --> 00:19:32,695 Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay. The question though, is is that a problem 360 00:19:32,775 --> 00:19:35,375 Speaker 3: of the soil or is it the problem of the plant? 361 00:19:36,255 --> 00:19:41,975 Speaker 3: Do you really need that particular magnolia where it is now? 362 00:19:42,175 --> 00:19:44,095 Speaker 3: Is that what you really want to keep it there? 363 00:19:45,375 --> 00:19:45,495 Speaker 5: Well? 364 00:19:45,575 --> 00:19:48,615 Speaker 6: Not really? We either want it healthy or are we 365 00:19:50,055 --> 00:19:50,615 Speaker 6: abandoned it. 366 00:19:53,055 --> 00:19:56,495 Speaker 3: So so what I would do is I would get 367 00:19:56,575 --> 00:19:58,855 Speaker 3: something else, because it might be something in the soil 368 00:19:58,895 --> 00:20:03,175 Speaker 3: that the magnolia doesn't like. And if you get another 369 00:20:03,255 --> 00:20:07,215 Speaker 3: tree there, another plant, something different, you might find that 370 00:20:07,295 --> 00:20:10,375 Speaker 3: you've basically dealt with the with the tree not coping 371 00:20:10,455 --> 00:20:13,175 Speaker 3: where it is, And for me, I can't see that 372 00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:14,975 Speaker 3: from this distance, to be quite honest, do you know 373 00:20:15,015 --> 00:20:15,335 Speaker 3: what I mean? 374 00:20:16,735 --> 00:20:20,175 Speaker 6: We're doing a shock treatment of podcast or something. 375 00:20:22,255 --> 00:20:24,695 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can have it. This is time for experimentation 376 00:20:24,975 --> 00:20:25,375 Speaker 3: the boy. 377 00:20:25,855 --> 00:20:27,935 Speaker 2: Yeah, all of this, you dave.
