Speaker 1: You're listening to the Resonant Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp

2
00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:11,975
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

00:00:11,735 --> 00:00:15,015

00:00:18,135 --> 00:00:19,695
Speaker 3: Good moting, Peter, can you hear me?

00:00:19,815 --> 00:00:20,055
Speaker 4: Good?

00:00:20,215 --> 00:00:21,855
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Ken, how are you, sir?

8
00:00:21,975 --> 00:00:25,215
Speaker 3: That's one I've borrowed don Marie.

9
00:00:26,095 --> 00:00:28,455
Speaker 2: You'll see that come up. That's right. What is that

10
00:00:28,535 --> 00:00:31,255
Speaker 2: flexibility in the field. That's that's the key to it.

11
00:00:31,935 --> 00:00:34,215
Speaker 2: That's the key. Do hey, should we do a quick

12
00:00:34,255 --> 00:00:37,975
Speaker 2: text before we talk to to l uh. Someone has

13
00:00:38,015 --> 00:00:40,735
Speaker 2: planted some leaks six weeks ago. They're hoping they can help.

14
00:00:40,775 --> 00:00:44,655
Speaker 2: They're just not growing. Should you see activity after six weeks?

15
00:00:45,855 --> 00:00:48,215
Speaker 3: I was so so if you planted them? Yeah, Mindie,

16
00:00:48,255 --> 00:00:51,415
Speaker 3: it's a bit chilly. My leaks go okay in my

17
00:00:51,535 --> 00:00:54,255
Speaker 3: tunnel house. So it could be the coldness. I don't know.

18
00:00:55,015 --> 00:00:57,455
Speaker 3: It might take a lot longer. It's the same with

19
00:00:57,455 --> 00:01:00,495
Speaker 3: with the moment with garlic and what do you call

20
00:01:00,575 --> 00:01:03,135
Speaker 3: these spring onions as well, they're going, they're going. This

21
00:01:03,175 --> 00:01:05,975
Speaker 3: is the slowest time of growth at the mortment to

22
00:01:06,095 --> 00:01:08,415
Speaker 3: make Patience might be a good one, all right.

23
00:01:08,855 --> 00:01:10,535
Speaker 2: Patience is not a bad thing in the garden.

24
00:01:10,975 --> 00:01:14,415
Speaker 3: No it is it isn't sometimes is it? I know

25
00:01:14,455 --> 00:01:15,615
Speaker 3: exactly what you mean.

26
00:01:16,335 --> 00:01:19,175
Speaker 2: Absolutely right. See, we get some calls to here we

27
00:01:19,255 --> 00:01:19,655

Speaker 5: Yeah? Good things rude. I just wanted to give you

31
00:01:28,535 --> 00:01:30,655
Speaker 5: an update. I don't know if you remember a couple

32
00:01:30,695 --> 00:01:33,695
Speaker 5: of weeks ago I phoned you with regard to my

33
00:01:33,815 --> 00:01:37,695
Speaker 5: two yellow hibiscus plots, and and and one was looking sad.

34
00:01:38,415 --> 00:01:39,215
Speaker 3: Yeah.

35
00:01:39,335 --> 00:01:40,775
Speaker 5: Do you remember that conversation?

36
00:01:41,255 --> 00:01:44,655
Speaker 3: Yeah, vaguely? What what? What? What did I say to you?

37
00:01:44,775 --> 00:01:45,855
Speaker 3: What did I ask you to do?

38
00:01:46,575 --> 00:01:46,615
Speaker 6: No?

39
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:48,495
Speaker 5: No, it was just the one was looking sad, and

40
00:01:48,535 --> 00:01:50,575
Speaker 5: you said, oh, maybe you know, maybe it's just a

41
00:01:50,655 --> 00:01:52,735
Speaker 5: doud a dud plant and just put it in the

42
00:01:52,735 --> 00:01:53,135
Speaker 5: green bin.

43
00:01:54,055 --> 00:01:55,775
Speaker 3: I was just going to say that quite a funly

44
00:01:55,855 --> 00:01:56,495
Speaker 3: case you go on.

45
00:01:57,615 --> 00:02:00,335
Speaker 5: So anyway, I took it out of a pot plant

46
00:02:00,335 --> 00:02:01,815
Speaker 5: because I was gonna I was gonna put it in

47
00:02:01,855 --> 00:02:03,935
Speaker 5: the green bind. But I noticed that there was three

48
00:02:04,895 --> 00:02:08,215
Speaker 5: like worms that had board way into the main stem,

49
00:02:08,335 --> 00:02:13,775
Speaker 5: the root stem, And so anyway, I took these things out.

50
00:02:13,815 --> 00:02:16,415
Speaker 5: And they're not frisky like the normal ones that the

51
00:02:16,415 --> 00:02:19,175
Speaker 5: blackbirds searched for in the garden. And they're not cut rooms.

52
00:02:19,175 --> 00:02:22,055
Speaker 5: They were black. Now, they were black with a sort

53
00:02:22,055 --> 00:02:24,495
Speaker 5: of a white a white tail. And there was three

54
00:02:24,535 --> 00:02:26,935
Speaker 5: of them. I took them out and I and I

55
00:02:27,135 --> 00:02:30,175
Speaker 5: washed the root system and I gave it a dusting

56
00:02:30,175 --> 00:02:32,735
Speaker 5: of root compound and I put it back in fresh,

57
00:02:33,135 --> 00:02:36,295
Speaker 5: fresh soil and all that and learn behold, I've got

58
00:02:36,535 --> 00:02:38,135
Speaker 5: a couple of green shoots coming through.

59
00:02:38,495 --> 00:02:41,655
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, in that case, there was somebody really tunneling

60
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:43,855
Speaker 3: through your systems, and you have to remember that when

61
00:02:44,095 --> 00:02:46,295
Speaker 3: you know what that's happening, isn't it It happened.

62
00:02:46,335 --> 00:02:46,855
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why.

63
00:02:46,855 --> 00:02:49,695
Speaker 3: There are quite a few creatures that do that. And

64
00:02:49,775 --> 00:02:53,535
Speaker 3: the problem is, I know, it's really hard to detect

65
00:02:53,535 --> 00:02:56,895
Speaker 3: them because they're underground and they are inside your plant

66
00:02:56,895 --> 00:03:00,255
Speaker 3: as well, so that's really difficult to see. Oh no,

67
00:03:00,335 --> 00:03:02,575
Speaker 3: I'm glad that worked out. That is Actually I'm going

68
00:03:02,575 --> 00:03:05,175
Speaker 3: to write that down, so I'm going to see.

69
00:03:04,975 --> 00:03:09,375
Speaker 5: You wouldn't it was? Yeah, sorry, rut, you wouldn't have.

70
00:03:09,495 --> 00:03:12,055
Speaker 5: But to know what worms they are, would you? Those

71
00:03:12,135 --> 00:03:15,455
Speaker 5: sort of black? Black or dark brown? Yeah?

72
00:03:15,615 --> 00:03:15,935
Speaker 7: Black?

73
00:03:16,295 --> 00:03:18,135
Speaker 3: So how large were they?

74
00:03:18,935 --> 00:03:19,295
Speaker 6: Oh?

75
00:03:19,375 --> 00:03:22,135
Speaker 5: The one was probably the biggest one was probably about

76
00:03:22,455 --> 00:03:25,935
Speaker 5: twenty five millimeters long, and the others were about fifteen

77
00:03:26,135 --> 00:03:28,175
Speaker 5: or so fifteen eighteen millimeters long.

78
00:03:29,015 --> 00:03:31,455
Speaker 3: And and they w look like did they look like

79
00:03:31,935 --> 00:03:32,615
Speaker 3: earth wuens?

80
00:03:33,815 --> 00:03:37,455
Speaker 5: No, not the normal not well similar shape. But they

81
00:03:37,455 --> 00:03:39,615
Speaker 5: weren't frisky like the ones you dig out of your

82
00:03:39,695 --> 00:03:42,335
Speaker 5: worm farm or in the garden or whatever. You know,

83
00:03:42,375 --> 00:03:45,335
Speaker 5: they get they get quite frisky and and and and

84
00:03:45,415 --> 00:03:48,415
Speaker 5: sort of try and find another hole that disappeared downe. Now,

85
00:03:48,455 --> 00:03:50,935
Speaker 5: these things were real sluggish type things, you know.

86
00:03:51,695 --> 00:03:53,975
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, yeah, I'll have to look that up to

87
00:03:54,015 --> 00:03:58,095
Speaker 3: see exactly what what goes for hibiscus, because quite often

88
00:03:58,375 --> 00:04:00,535
Speaker 3: they have their own little host plants, you know what

89
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:00,895
Speaker 3: I mean.

90
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:03,415
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, yeah, okay.

91
00:04:03,415 --> 00:04:06,615
Speaker 3: Well at least you had a positive outcome one.

92
00:04:06,815 --> 00:04:09,495
Speaker 5: Ah yeah, Like I said to you know, you know,

93
00:04:09,615 --> 00:04:11,895
Speaker 5: you just mentioned the being patient on the garden.

94
00:04:12,735 --> 00:04:17,015
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. It could be a long time. Brilliant.

95
00:04:17,335 --> 00:04:19,255
Speaker 2: All the very best you out, Thank you very much

96
00:04:19,255 --> 00:04:22,735
Speaker 2: for that. You take care quick ticks as well. Rud

97
00:04:22,775 --> 00:04:24,535
Speaker 2: Can you tell me how to get rid of aga

98
00:04:24,535 --> 00:04:27,575
Speaker 2: panthers which are invading my rural property?

99
00:04:28,495 --> 00:04:31,055
Speaker 3: Yes, agapentas are a real pain in the butt and

100
00:04:31,135 --> 00:04:36,415
Speaker 3: the time to work on agapanths is. But okay, let

101
00:04:36,495 --> 00:04:39,215
Speaker 3: me do this first. The time to work on agapanthas

102
00:04:39,295 --> 00:04:41,335
Speaker 3: is usually in autumn time. If you spread them in

103
00:04:41,375 --> 00:04:44,815
Speaker 3: autumn time with some of these what do you call it,

104
00:04:45,215 --> 00:04:49,015
Speaker 3: lovely wheat killers that can then take him back into

105
00:04:49,055 --> 00:04:51,255
Speaker 3: the plant in autumn, because the plant in autumn is

106
00:04:51,295 --> 00:04:54,735
Speaker 3: going to become a bit more dormant, if you like,

107
00:04:55,055 --> 00:04:57,095
Speaker 3: and that is the best time to do it. Woody

108
00:04:57,175 --> 00:05:00,855
Speaker 3: wat killer and things like that, and die camber band. Fine.

109
00:05:01,215 --> 00:05:02,935
Speaker 3: But the other thing that I was going to say

110
00:05:02,935 --> 00:05:07,295
Speaker 3: about agapanthas is said, because it's such an invasive species,

111
00:05:07,895 --> 00:05:12,535
Speaker 3: there are now Agapentus varieties that are no longer invasive.

112
00:05:12,855 --> 00:05:15,775
Speaker 3: So there's becoming more and more on the market that

113
00:05:15,895 --> 00:05:20,055
Speaker 3: will not set seeds all over the garden and make

114
00:05:20,095 --> 00:05:22,815
Speaker 3: it spread. So make sure that you get. If you

115
00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:25,735
Speaker 3: do get acapendis for your garden, you are reasonably safe

116
00:05:25,775 --> 00:05:29,375
Speaker 3: to do so these days with the modern varieties. I

117
00:05:29,375 --> 00:05:30,615
Speaker 3: thought i'd pointed out.

118
00:05:31,095 --> 00:05:33,655
Speaker 2: Because it did seem like for a while they were

119
00:05:33,855 --> 00:05:35,975
Speaker 2: they were on the band list, right, let's get rid

120
00:05:36,015 --> 00:05:38,215
Speaker 2: of them. They're a peace and so on. But the

121
00:05:38,775 --> 00:05:42,015
Speaker 2: reason that they're popular and they are hardy, and they're

122
00:05:42,055 --> 00:05:45,375
Speaker 2: not unattractive to look. You can sort of understand why

123
00:05:45,415 --> 00:05:47,135
Speaker 2: people have found them attractive in the past.

124
00:05:47,895 --> 00:05:51,095
Speaker 3: You got it, And that is exactly why a lot

125
00:05:51,135 --> 00:05:54,455
Speaker 3: of these things are still are basically being banned, I suppose.

126
00:05:54,495 --> 00:05:58,095
Speaker 3: But this time and this time we have much better varieties.

127
00:05:58,335 --> 00:06:01,575
Speaker 3: And I remember vaguely that here it pretending guns in

128
00:06:01,655 --> 00:06:05,615
Speaker 3: christ and in Auckland. You can see those varieties and

129
00:06:05,695 --> 00:06:08,735
Speaker 3: you can see what look back, what color they are, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

130
00:06:08,855 --> 00:06:12,055
Speaker 2: Have a not yeah brilliant in a very good morning

131
00:06:12,055 --> 00:06:16,815
Speaker 2: to you, Jay, morning, Hello, Jay.

132
00:06:16,575 --> 00:06:20,495
Speaker 8: Hey rude. I have a type of pet I'm told

133
00:06:20,695 --> 00:06:25,895
Speaker 8: are a passion food, and they're called grenadilla, very large.

134
00:06:26,455 --> 00:06:30,335
Speaker 8: I grew them last year and this year they took

135
00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:34,535
Speaker 8: all fruited, got about forty fruit on it, and they've

136
00:06:35,535 --> 00:06:39,095
Speaker 8: slowly changed color to yellow. Some haven't changed at all,

137
00:06:39,695 --> 00:06:45,095
Speaker 8: and they've been fruited for the last six six months,

138
00:06:45,735 --> 00:06:51,175
Speaker 8: but some are starting to rot on the vine. Most

139
00:06:51,375 --> 00:06:55,855
Speaker 8: aren't changing the yellow or orange color that I'm expecting.

140
00:06:57,575 --> 00:06:58,775
Speaker 8: Any ideas on.

141
00:06:58,815 --> 00:07:03,095
Speaker 3: Why no, I have never grown grenadilla, Is that what

142
00:07:03,135 --> 00:07:05,015
Speaker 3: you call a grenadilla? I've heard of it.

143
00:07:06,415 --> 00:07:09,495
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, there are there are a passion a type

144
00:07:09,535 --> 00:07:11,855
Speaker 8: of passion thread. When you cut it open, it's just

145
00:07:11,935 --> 00:07:14,215
Speaker 8: full of seas, the same as a passion thread.

146
00:07:14,935 --> 00:07:20,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're African, the African species, I think an African variety.

147
00:07:20,695 --> 00:07:22,495
Speaker 3: But but as I said, I've never grown the man,

148
00:07:22,495 --> 00:07:24,775
Speaker 3: I'm not very good at passion fruit type. But what

149
00:07:24,815 --> 00:07:26,615
Speaker 3: you're telling me now is that the plant is not

150
00:07:26,695 --> 00:07:27,415
Speaker 3: doing too well.

151
00:07:28,415 --> 00:07:31,575
Speaker 8: Well, a plant itself is healthy and green, but the

152
00:07:31,575 --> 00:07:35,055
Speaker 8: fruit itself that have been there for for a last

153
00:07:35,175 --> 00:07:39,335
Speaker 8: five months and quite large, just aren't changing the color,

154
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:43,295
Speaker 8: which I imagine they would do. And then and then they're

155
00:07:43,335 --> 00:07:46,455
Speaker 8: all blotchy on the outside skin.

156
00:07:47,975 --> 00:07:52,415
Speaker 3: Okay, well, rotchiness. I think that is a bit tricky

157
00:07:52,415 --> 00:07:55,055
Speaker 3: to identify over the phone. But if you've got something

158
00:07:55,055 --> 00:07:57,935
Speaker 3: that doesn't want to ripe that, well, have you tried

159
00:07:57,975 --> 00:08:00,855
Speaker 3: feeding them with a little bit of potash or potash

160
00:08:00,975 --> 00:08:05,255
Speaker 3: high fertilizers, so that means a fertilizer like a rose

161
00:08:05,375 --> 00:08:09,935
Speaker 3: fertilizer or a tomato fertilizer, because that contains usually more

162
00:08:09,935 --> 00:08:12,415
Speaker 3: potage than the others, and that means that the fruit

163
00:08:13,015 --> 00:08:16,375
Speaker 3: is a much highier, gross better and is sweeter by

164
00:08:16,375 --> 00:08:17,335
Speaker 3: the time you harvest it.

165
00:08:18,615 --> 00:08:19,895
Speaker 8: Okay, I'll try that.

166
00:08:21,015 --> 00:08:25,615
Speaker 3: Did you Did you fertilize it at all? By the way, Jay, Yeah.

167
00:08:25,455 --> 00:08:30,695
Speaker 8: I did with crush kinna, kin of sea eggs, shells

168
00:08:30,775 --> 00:08:33,175
Speaker 8: crushed up with water and pot on it. That's all

169
00:08:33,215 --> 00:08:34,775
Speaker 8: that's over hair that took.

170
00:08:35,855 --> 00:08:38,855
Speaker 3: And I see now why the plant is not doing it,

171
00:08:38,975 --> 00:08:42,015
Speaker 3: because that is a very monotonous diet. It is a

172
00:08:42,015 --> 00:08:45,255
Speaker 3: little bit like me telling you I think you should

173
00:08:45,255 --> 00:08:48,295
Speaker 3: eat lime all day, every day and all week and

174
00:08:48,375 --> 00:08:51,215
Speaker 3: every month and every year. And I don't think that

175
00:08:51,255 --> 00:08:53,255
Speaker 3: it is good for your body. You know what I mean.

176
00:08:54,175 --> 00:08:57,775
Speaker 3: You're really yeah, yeah, yeah. There certain ideas to get

177
00:08:57,775 --> 00:09:01,055
Speaker 3: a good balanced fertilizer if you can, Ja, Okay.

178
00:09:00,735 --> 00:09:03,895
Speaker 8: Okay, It's just that kinners weren't monotonous for my diet,

179
00:09:03,935 --> 00:09:09,855
Speaker 8: so that's why I got it here.

180
00:09:10,375 --> 00:09:14,855
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Jay. All of its cricky rud

181
00:09:14,935 --> 00:09:18,975
Speaker 2: can you pet? Can you ask rud? Do tooies eat

182
00:09:19,655 --> 00:09:24,815
Speaker 2: parsley plants? My potted parsley has been completely eaten. And

183
00:09:24,855 --> 00:09:27,935
Speaker 2: the only culprits, although I'm on TURINGI could be rats

184
00:09:28,055 --> 00:09:31,655
Speaker 2: or bush pigeons or do we I would.

185
00:09:31,415 --> 00:09:34,055
Speaker 3: Go for the bush pigeons. Do we do we as

186
00:09:34,135 --> 00:09:39,015
Speaker 3: really is really one of those sweet nectar feeding things really,

187
00:09:39,135 --> 00:09:43,815
Speaker 3: and and fruits of course, but also insects. It's definitely

188
00:09:43,935 --> 00:09:47,095
Speaker 3: not a major herbivore at all. I tell you what

189
00:09:47,335 --> 00:09:52,495
Speaker 3: eats these things sparrows and in my case often I

190
00:09:52,575 --> 00:09:56,455
Speaker 3: think goldfinches as well as well as as green finches,

191
00:09:56,615 --> 00:09:59,095
Speaker 3: because they're at the moment very very hungry, and they

192
00:09:59,095 --> 00:10:01,255
Speaker 3: will go for a lot of different plants. They come

193
00:10:01,295 --> 00:10:04,935
Speaker 3: into my tunnel house and literally try to eat my

194
00:10:05,495 --> 00:10:08,175
Speaker 3: cost lettuce holes on the edge of a cross that

195
00:10:09,855 --> 00:10:12,175
Speaker 3: I put a new door on, maternal host below it.

196
00:10:12,415 --> 00:10:16,855
Speaker 2: Brilliant, brilliant. You can call eight hundred and eighty ten

197
00:10:16,975 --> 00:10:19,495
Speaker 2: eighty and Craig a very good morning to you.

198
00:10:20,135 --> 00:10:21,255
Speaker 7: Good morning. How's the game today?

199
00:10:21,415 --> 00:10:21,815
Speaker 2: Good things?

200
00:10:22,015 --> 00:10:23,015
Speaker 3: It's going well, Craig.

201
00:10:23,095 --> 00:10:23,855
Speaker 5: What can I do for you?

202
00:10:25,175 --> 00:10:27,975
Speaker 7: I guess this is probably going back a long, long way.

203
00:10:28,015 --> 00:10:31,055
Speaker 7: But when I was at high school, I did horticulture

204
00:10:31,055 --> 00:10:33,735
Speaker 7: and in our high school and we did I did

205
00:10:33,775 --> 00:10:36,055
Speaker 7: a system. I did a study thing on one of

206
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:39,655
Speaker 7: my exam signments about these little worms that eat the

207
00:10:39,735 --> 00:10:43,295
Speaker 7: roots of plants called nematodes. Yes, and basically they borrow

208
00:10:43,335 --> 00:10:45,535
Speaker 7: into the plants, suck all the juice out of plants

209
00:10:45,535 --> 00:10:48,575
Speaker 7: and then then basically reproducing stuff. And they're quite common

210
00:10:48,615 --> 00:10:50,375
Speaker 7: around different places around the world. So I was just

211
00:10:50,455 --> 00:10:52,735
Speaker 7: running with it. It's probably something similar to what the

212
00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:53,735
Speaker 7: other guy was talking about.

213
00:10:54,415 --> 00:10:57,375
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you well know, a nematodes are so small

214
00:10:57,455 --> 00:11:00,215
Speaker 3: that if you think you can see them, it's probably

215
00:11:00,215 --> 00:11:03,495
Speaker 3: a nematode. It's that thin. But this was something that

216
00:11:03,655 --> 00:11:06,935
Speaker 3: was already what did you say, twenty five meters long

217
00:11:07,295 --> 00:11:11,375
Speaker 3: and had the same texture as a earthworm. Nematodes are

218
00:11:11,535 --> 00:11:17,015
Speaker 3: really really thin. Really think, yeah, I much to distant riches.

219
00:11:17,055 --> 00:11:18,415
Speaker 7: That sounds quite interesting for what it is.

220
00:11:19,575 --> 00:11:22,775
Speaker 3: They are called actually nematodes. They're really cool to see.

221
00:11:23,015 --> 00:11:26,535
Speaker 3: There's another nematode type thing that comes out. Sorry, is

222
00:11:26,535 --> 00:11:28,335
Speaker 3: it a good time to tell that now at this

223
00:11:28,415 --> 00:11:30,535
Speaker 3: time of the day. They come out of the bum

224
00:11:30,575 --> 00:11:35,095
Speaker 3: of a weather or a katie did they're parasitic parasitic

225
00:11:35,175 --> 00:11:38,415
Speaker 3: hair worms. They also they waved in the sun in

226
00:11:38,455 --> 00:11:42,335
Speaker 3: the morning type of that, and they basically so they've

227
00:11:42,375 --> 00:11:45,735
Speaker 3: actually killed their hosts and sent their hosts, especially to

228
00:11:45,895 --> 00:11:48,855
Speaker 3: wet conditions, to water, and that's when they come out

229
00:11:48,895 --> 00:11:51,535
Speaker 3: because that's the next stage of their life cycle. But

230
00:11:51,575 --> 00:11:53,695
Speaker 3: that's the type. That's the sort of size that I'm

231
00:11:53,735 --> 00:11:56,695
Speaker 3: looking at, not even half the middle eat in diameter.

232
00:11:56,855 --> 00:12:00,135
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I'm at the distant riches because I used

233
00:12:00,175 --> 00:12:01,615
Speaker 7: to do hood coutch quite a lot. I don't do

234
00:12:01,735 --> 00:12:03,815
Speaker 7: much nowadays, but I used to find it really interesting.

235
00:12:03,895 --> 00:12:06,135
Speaker 7: So it's kind of much to dis some riches. And

236
00:12:06,855 --> 00:12:09,175
Speaker 7: that's quote. I won't know what it does. It's most interesting.

237
00:12:09,975 --> 00:12:10,215
Speaker 6: It is.

238
00:12:10,535 --> 00:12:12,415
Speaker 3: It is cool, isn't it. Yeah?

239
00:12:12,495 --> 00:12:15,615
Speaker 7: Yes, it's interesting how little tiny things in the soil

240
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:17,735
Speaker 7: help other little things and then works its way up

241
00:12:17,775 --> 00:12:20,055
Speaker 7: to the plants. And people don't realize how much loss

242
00:12:20,055 --> 00:12:21,455
Speaker 7: in the soil that if she you don't see that,

243
00:12:21,455 --> 00:12:22,735
Speaker 7: if she helps plants grow.

244
00:12:23,415 --> 00:12:27,375
Speaker 3: It's really amazing exactly. I've just written a little note

245
00:12:27,415 --> 00:12:30,295
Speaker 3: for next week's Jack Game show, and it's all about

246
00:12:30,695 --> 00:12:33,695
Speaker 3: what do you call them? Sprint tails? And they are

247
00:12:33,855 --> 00:12:38,335
Speaker 3: tiny things that literally are probably they probably run this

248
00:12:38,455 --> 00:12:42,615
Speaker 3: world by making everything into compost in the verious, strangest way.

249
00:12:42,975 --> 00:12:47,615
Speaker 3: Tiny things, some beautiful, some float on the water like

250
00:12:47,895 --> 00:12:53,495
Speaker 3: huge millions of them in a patch and they come in.

251
00:12:53,695 --> 00:12:55,655
Speaker 3: It's just that I love stuff like that.

252
00:12:57,415 --> 00:13:00,175
Speaker 7: It's amazing what nature do okay, it's pretty good.

253
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:03,695
Speaker 2: Hey good Chris, love you to talk to you all

254
00:13:03,735 --> 00:13:05,815
Speaker 2: the very best and a very good morning to you.

255
00:13:05,895 --> 00:13:10,455
Speaker 6: Frank, good a ruts. You know everything, so can you

256
00:13:10,495 --> 00:13:11,695
Speaker 6: help with this one please?

257
00:13:14,455 --> 00:13:16,575
Speaker 3: I said that to my kids. Why don't you leave

258
00:13:16,615 --> 00:13:18,175
Speaker 3: home while you still know everything?

259
00:13:20,215 --> 00:13:23,695
Speaker 6: Pretty good? I must remember that roots. I've got a

260
00:13:23,775 --> 00:13:30,495
Speaker 6: dichromestive till roof want a we but the water blasting

261
00:13:30,615 --> 00:13:35,415
Speaker 6: and spouting cleaning guy came round cleaned them out, and

262
00:13:35,455 --> 00:13:38,175
Speaker 6: then around my backyard. I've got two big raised gardens

263
00:13:38,495 --> 00:13:42,175
Speaker 6: one meter high waist hie, and he dumped some of

264
00:13:41,775 --> 00:13:47,295
Speaker 6: the residue from the spouting into my raised gardens, which

265
00:13:47,855 --> 00:13:53,215
Speaker 6: I may cantain asbestos because it's asbestos and the dicromestive

266
00:13:53,335 --> 00:13:54,055
Speaker 6: toill roofing.

267
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:56,575
Speaker 3: I knew you were going to go there.

268
00:13:56,695 --> 00:13:58,695
Speaker 6: Funny, Then what do you reckon?

269
00:13:59,455 --> 00:14:05,255
Speaker 3: No? No, don't, don't muck around. I'm not a doctor.

270
00:14:05,375 --> 00:14:07,135
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not a chemist.

271
00:14:07,615 --> 00:14:08,335
Speaker 6: I'm going to do it.

272
00:14:08,975 --> 00:14:13,055
Speaker 3: No, I would say safety first, and I'm glad you

273
00:14:13,055 --> 00:14:15,735
Speaker 3: would a doctor. Wolf will say the same thing. Yeah.

274
00:14:15,815 --> 00:14:18,695
Speaker 2: Look, I mean there's a just very quickly, Frank, there's

275
00:14:18,695 --> 00:14:23,055
Speaker 2: a couple of issues with that one is the contractor

276
00:14:23,095 --> 00:14:27,215
Speaker 2: should know better and should have taken us because it's

277
00:14:27,295 --> 00:14:31,735
Speaker 2: not uncommon, right, and so for your own safety, I

278
00:14:31,775 --> 00:14:34,255
Speaker 2: would probably take a sample of that area very carefully,

279
00:14:34,335 --> 00:14:36,495
Speaker 2: take it to a chemist, get it determined whether or

280
00:14:36,535 --> 00:14:38,775
Speaker 2: not it might have asbestos in it. If it does,

281
00:14:38,815 --> 00:14:41,615
Speaker 2: then you have to go the cleanup, do the testing

282
00:14:41,695 --> 00:14:45,975
Speaker 2: first if there is. If you're unfortunate enough for it

283
00:14:46,015 --> 00:14:48,215
Speaker 2: to have asbestos in it, then I would certainly be

284
00:14:48,215 --> 00:14:51,215
Speaker 2: going back to the contractor to ask for an explanation.

285
00:14:51,415 --> 00:14:54,015
Speaker 2: But I would also be inclined to ring work safe

286
00:14:54,015 --> 00:14:56,735
Speaker 2: and go, hey, you might want to investigate this guy's

287
00:14:56,855 --> 00:15:00,335
Speaker 2: safety practices, you know, don't muck around with this. Frank,

288
00:15:01,055 --> 00:15:03,135
Speaker 2: good luck with that, and seriously, good luck with that,

289
00:15:03,175 --> 00:15:06,495
Speaker 2: because that's an awful position to be in. Susan, good

290
00:15:06,535 --> 00:15:07,415
Speaker 2: morning to you.

291
00:15:08,215 --> 00:15:10,895
Speaker 9: Good morning, good morning to you both. Just a real

292
00:15:11,015 --> 00:15:15,215
Speaker 9: quick question. We were we're just trying to retract the toe,

293
00:15:15,655 --> 00:15:19,655
Speaker 9: and we've got the water, the sugar water out, but

294
00:15:19,855 --> 00:15:23,415
Speaker 9: the wax size just well the toe doesn't get a

295
00:15:23,415 --> 00:15:25,655
Speaker 9: look and well we have got no toys. Do you

296
00:15:25,735 --> 00:15:29,095
Speaker 9: know how I could attract them in any other way?

297
00:15:30,095 --> 00:15:31,695
Speaker 3: Are you talking? What do you what you're going to

298
00:15:31,695 --> 00:15:32,895
Speaker 3: say about the wax size.

299
00:15:33,815 --> 00:15:37,455
Speaker 9: They're just they're just drinking it all down very very quickly,

300
00:15:37,495 --> 00:15:39,295
Speaker 9: and it's all gone.

301
00:15:39,735 --> 00:15:42,575
Speaker 3: That's the one because they are the same same, they've

302
00:15:42,575 --> 00:15:44,695
Speaker 3: got the same diet as two weeks do two we

303
00:15:44,895 --> 00:15:48,735
Speaker 3: come to your your your place? Do they come to

304
00:15:48,735 --> 00:15:49,135
Speaker 3: that part?

305
00:15:50,375 --> 00:15:53,015
Speaker 9: We've seen one or two around the neighbors, but never

306
00:15:53,215 --> 00:15:54,055
Speaker 9: into our section.

307
00:15:54,975 --> 00:15:59,575
Speaker 3: And what does your feed and look like?

308
00:16:01,135 --> 00:16:03,575
Speaker 9: It's we've just built it. Actually it's just a little

309
00:16:03,615 --> 00:16:07,415
Speaker 9: wooden a little little wooden structure with a bottle that

310
00:16:07,535 --> 00:16:08,815
Speaker 9: drips down into.

311
00:16:08,615 --> 00:16:12,255
Speaker 3: A bowl, okay, into a ball. There are there are

312
00:16:12,295 --> 00:16:15,695
Speaker 3: thinks called and if you, if you, you'll remember the

313
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:24,135
Speaker 3: name wecker, uh dider, pecker, pecker, pecker, pecker. So have

314
00:16:24,255 --> 00:16:26,535
Speaker 3: a look what a pecker pecker looks like. Because they

315
00:16:26,615 --> 00:16:30,495
Speaker 3: have a nozzle that the silver ice cannot get into.

316
00:16:30,535 --> 00:16:33,335
Speaker 3: They haven't got a long enough bill. And you're two

317
00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:37,495
Speaker 3: week your too, we will know how brilliant.

318
00:16:37,535 --> 00:16:39,815
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that was an extra feature of that

319
00:16:39,855 --> 00:16:42,535
Speaker 2: particular bird feeder. That's smart.

320
00:16:43,295 --> 00:16:48,055
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay from one and the pick picker did you

321
00:16:48,095 --> 00:16:49,015
Speaker 9: say on the other.

322
00:16:49,655 --> 00:16:53,575
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. You fade them all all that's the

323
00:16:53,615 --> 00:16:54,295
Speaker 2: key to itself.

324
00:16:54,815 --> 00:16:55,175
Speaker 5: I love.

325
00:16:56,295 --> 00:16:59,175
Speaker 3: I think these are the most practical ways of going

326
00:16:59,175 --> 00:17:00,775
Speaker 3: about it, isn't it's good.

327
00:17:01,815 --> 00:17:04,935
Speaker 2: That's brilliant. Thank you very much for that, Susan' that's awesome. Hello, Michael,

328
00:17:06,295 --> 00:17:09,895
Speaker 2: I mean morning Rude Hill.

329
00:17:10,455 --> 00:17:13,055
Speaker 4: Every year I spray my lord for the coach and

330
00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:16,895
Speaker 4: have a reasonable good success. And what I do this

331
00:17:17,015 --> 00:17:19,575
Speaker 4: year I use it on chemical and kill the lord.

332
00:17:21,535 --> 00:17:23,735
Speaker 4: So I take you as an opportunity because the lord

333
00:17:23,855 --> 00:17:27,495
Speaker 4: is country lord, probably about twenty five years old, so

334
00:17:28,495 --> 00:17:32,895
Speaker 4: I'm going to put put a new lord down. So

335
00:17:32,935 --> 00:17:33,895
Speaker 4: do you think excellently?

336
00:17:34,415 --> 00:17:36,855
Speaker 3: Actually, that is a clever idea, to be quite honest,

337
00:17:37,335 --> 00:17:40,335
Speaker 3: because there are of course varieties now of lawn that

338
00:17:40,495 --> 00:17:42,695
Speaker 3: a heck of a lot more elegant or better or

339
00:17:42,735 --> 00:17:44,615
Speaker 3: easier than coach, to be quite honest.

340
00:17:44,655 --> 00:17:50,255
Speaker 4: Totally honestly. It just gave me. Anyway, So I walked

341
00:17:50,255 --> 00:17:54,415
Speaker 4: around the other week with some round up, and the

342
00:17:54,495 --> 00:17:59,015
Speaker 4: Lord was slowly recovering from my spreader to put on.

343
00:17:59,535 --> 00:18:02,375
Speaker 4: Funnily enough, and I can't remember the name lockhand, but

344
00:18:02,375 --> 00:18:04,975
Speaker 4: it was the spray that I used for killing killing

345
00:18:05,095 --> 00:18:12,575
Speaker 4: baga panthers, one of those anyway, that's old world. So

346
00:18:12,775 --> 00:18:15,255
Speaker 4: I walk on the other day, was round up and

347
00:18:15,295 --> 00:18:18,095
Speaker 4: sprayed on to the heavily infested couch areas that were

348
00:18:18,095 --> 00:18:21,495
Speaker 4: still there. Not that they were grind but they I thought, well,

349
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:24,815
Speaker 4: I'll just take the opt because risk fill. Yeah, I

350
00:18:25,055 --> 00:18:29,175
Speaker 4: would cover, but it's not really so good. This is

351
00:18:29,215 --> 00:18:30,975
Speaker 4: the right time were spraying coach at the moment, because

352
00:18:31,215 --> 00:18:34,495
Speaker 4: that was a month ago. Last night a couple of

353
00:18:34,495 --> 00:18:36,975
Speaker 4: coach plants out and scratched the steam of them and

354
00:18:37,055 --> 00:18:41,855
Speaker 4: it's still showing green in the steam. The speech showed

355
00:18:41,895 --> 00:18:44,135
Speaker 4: dormant this time in here and to come back again.

356
00:18:45,255 --> 00:18:48,495
Speaker 3: It will. Let me put it sway, most grasses at

357
00:18:48,535 --> 00:18:51,055
Speaker 3: the moment if you sprayed them with restance, whatever round

358
00:18:51,135 --> 00:18:54,335
Speaker 3: up or whatever you use, take a lot longer to

359
00:18:54,455 --> 00:18:59,055
Speaker 3: become suppressed or killed. If you like better to do

360
00:18:59,095 --> 00:19:01,295
Speaker 3: it at a time when it's slightly warmer. You have

361
00:19:01,335 --> 00:19:04,615
Speaker 3: to remember June, July and August had the coldest months

362
00:19:04,775 --> 00:19:07,535
Speaker 3: in New Zealand. If you done it in September, you

363
00:19:07,615 --> 00:19:11,775
Speaker 3: probably have a much quicker response, much faster and you

364
00:19:11,815 --> 00:19:14,695
Speaker 3: have still got another four weeks or so to do

365
00:19:14,735 --> 00:19:17,095
Speaker 3: with second spray, because you always do it at least twice,

366
00:19:17,455 --> 00:19:20,375
Speaker 3: sometimes three times, and in that time you can go

367
00:19:20,455 --> 00:19:23,975
Speaker 3: to your local grass grower of whatever it is, you know,

368
00:19:25,175 --> 00:19:27,775
Speaker 3: bowls club or whatever, and find out what is the

369
00:19:27,815 --> 00:19:30,695
Speaker 3: best one to use for your area. How is that?

370
00:19:31,455 --> 00:19:31,695
Speaker 5: Yeah?

371
00:19:32,055 --> 00:19:34,335
Speaker 4: That's that's good. I was going to spray a spray

372
00:19:34,335 --> 00:19:37,255
Speaker 4: and get a lawn down over the whole one, but

373
00:19:37,335 --> 00:19:40,655
Speaker 4: I just wanted I thought, takes the oportunity and kill everything.

374
00:19:41,455 --> 00:19:43,495
Speaker 3: I think. I think it's very clever put on you.

375
00:19:43,615 --> 00:19:47,815
Speaker 2: Much appreciated about, much appreciated. I to be feared. I

376
00:19:47,855 --> 00:19:50,055
Speaker 2: thought you were going to leap into the wildflower meadow.

377
00:19:50,975 --> 00:19:52,535
Speaker 2: No as an alternative.

378
00:19:52,655 --> 00:19:57,135
Speaker 3: I was I was going to be practical here. Okay, okay,

379
00:19:57,735 --> 00:19:58,575
Speaker 3: yeah it is.

380
00:19:58,935 --> 00:20:00,575
Speaker 2: But it does a nice idea, though, isn't it.

381
00:20:00,895 --> 00:20:03,895
Speaker 3: You know, if you don't love well better, don't don't

382
00:20:03,895 --> 00:20:04,695
Speaker 3: get me started.
