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 --> 00:00:11,695
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

3
00:00:11,735 --> 00:00:14,495
Speaker 2: A'd be well, A very good morning. The route climb passed.

4
00:00:14,495 --> 00:00:15,055
Speaker 2: How are you, sir?

5
00:00:15,535 --> 00:00:18,975
Speaker 3: A very good morning to you, Peter. Are you all okay? Yeah?

6
00:00:19,055 --> 00:00:20,815
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hanging in there, hanging.

7
00:00:20,695 --> 00:00:22,975
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure you are sure? So that was that

8
00:00:23,135 --> 00:00:26,215
Speaker 3: was it. I listened to that little story about you know,

9
00:00:26,295 --> 00:00:29,095
Speaker 3: people saying things about you. I don't even know. I

10
00:00:29,135 --> 00:00:32,255
Speaker 3: thought that, you know, this is this is media, just

11
00:00:32,735 --> 00:00:33,815
Speaker 3: suck it and just.

12
00:00:34,135 --> 00:00:37,695
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of wondered about that, and then I thought, stuff.

13
00:00:37,455 --> 00:00:41,335
Speaker 3: It is because you're you're absolutely right you. I think

14
00:00:41,335 --> 00:00:42,415
Speaker 3: it needs to be said.

15
00:00:43,135 --> 00:00:46,735
Speaker 2: People out every now and then. Yeah, my friend has

16
00:00:46,775 --> 00:00:49,295
Speaker 2: text me and asked about passion fruit and I haven't

17
00:00:49,335 --> 00:00:52,615
Speaker 2: texted them back yet to say, might not be the

18
00:00:52,615 --> 00:00:55,455
Speaker 2: person to talk to about this, but his passion fruit

19
00:00:55,615 --> 00:00:59,975
Speaker 2: has kind of what he said, passion fruit plant doing

20
00:01:00,055 --> 00:01:04,895
Speaker 2: exceptionally well flowered now has started withering and dying. Oh

21
00:01:04,975 --> 00:01:05,655
Speaker 2: what's going on?

22
00:01:06,375 --> 00:01:08,335
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, that could be all sorts of things. It

23
00:01:08,375 --> 00:01:11,775
Speaker 3: could be could be lack of fertilizer, could be wrong,

24
00:01:12,575 --> 00:01:15,055
Speaker 3: too much water, right, it could be not enough water.

25
00:01:16,215 --> 00:01:18,215
Speaker 3: You know it could be. It depends on your soil, I.

26
00:01:18,095 --> 00:01:21,375
Speaker 2: Suppose, right. But if it was going well one year

27
00:01:21,455 --> 00:01:24,415
Speaker 2: and then suddenly it's turned up its toes.

28
00:01:24,575 --> 00:01:26,815
Speaker 3: And it's only two years, you think that it's alive

29
00:01:26,975 --> 00:01:29,495
Speaker 3: because special fruits are not very long lived.

30
00:01:29,575 --> 00:01:32,015
Speaker 2: Ah okay, maybe that's maybe it's reaching the end of

31
00:01:32,055 --> 00:01:32,495
Speaker 2: its life.

32
00:01:32,855 --> 00:01:38,375
Speaker 3: Maybe it is, but that point the years, Okay, some

33
00:01:38,375 --> 00:01:40,735
Speaker 3: something to go on. Yeah, now that might be. It

34
00:01:40,815 --> 00:01:43,455
Speaker 3: might be an idea to look at that and put

35
00:01:43,495 --> 00:01:44,215
Speaker 3: a new plant in.

36
00:01:44,415 --> 00:01:47,535
Speaker 2: All right, there you go, Simon, that's your job for today, right, Tony,

37
00:01:47,575 --> 00:01:50,735
Speaker 2: A very good morning to you.

38
00:01:51,375 --> 00:01:56,095
Speaker 4: I have an old apple tree, the coppers orange, and

39
00:01:56,175 --> 00:01:59,375
Speaker 4: I wanted to know about the efficacy of these pheromone

40
00:01:59,415 --> 00:02:02,855
Speaker 4: traps and when you put them out, if they are,

41
00:02:03,015 --> 00:02:04,135
Speaker 4: it is good and we.

42
00:02:04,255 --> 00:02:04,855
Speaker 5: You pot them.

43
00:02:05,655 --> 00:02:11,575
Speaker 3: Okay. The traps themselves are not there to control the

44
00:02:11,655 --> 00:02:16,935
Speaker 3: actual coddling moth. The traps are there to give you

45
00:02:17,015 --> 00:02:20,575
Speaker 3: an idea that they are around, and you have to

46
00:02:20,655 --> 00:02:24,015
Speaker 3: check them from this time onwards, almost every other day

47
00:02:24,135 --> 00:02:26,055
Speaker 3: or so, to see if you've got some of those

48
00:02:28,175 --> 00:02:32,575
Speaker 3: moths stuck on the sticky tape in the trap. By

49
00:02:32,575 --> 00:02:34,495
Speaker 3: the way, the trap you hang in your tree somewhere.

50
00:02:34,535 --> 00:02:37,615
Speaker 3: You can have one tree, one tree, one trap, no problem.

51
00:02:37,935 --> 00:02:40,375
Speaker 3: So that's easy. You can put them wherever you like.

52
00:02:40,855 --> 00:02:43,255
Speaker 3: They will guard you. That particular smell go on.

53
00:02:44,055 --> 00:02:47,095
Speaker 4: Two but two opinions. One it's under the tree, you know,

54
00:02:47,135 --> 00:02:49,695
Speaker 4: they's as far away up the tree, because otherwise them

55
00:02:49,735 --> 00:02:51,375
Speaker 4: just the carriages who go to the tree.

56
00:02:51,895 --> 00:02:54,535
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't matter whether they go to the tree

57
00:02:54,615 --> 00:02:56,855
Speaker 3: or not. It's and you're not going to control them

58
00:02:56,855 --> 00:02:59,695
Speaker 3: with just a trap. The trap is there to give

59
00:02:59,735 --> 00:03:03,215
Speaker 3: you the exact timing when they start flying, and when

60
00:03:03,255 --> 00:03:06,935
Speaker 3: they start flying, they will you. Males fight and females

61
00:03:06,975 --> 00:03:09,695
Speaker 3: no matter where the trap is, it makes no difference

62
00:03:09,695 --> 00:03:13,495
Speaker 3: at all. Males find females, and then the females will

63
00:03:13,535 --> 00:03:18,335
Speaker 3: lay their eggs on the very small little apples that

64
00:03:18,375 --> 00:03:21,295
Speaker 3: have developed after flowering. So as you can see from

65
00:03:21,295 --> 00:03:23,815
Speaker 3: now on the little apples, the coddlings as they call them,

66
00:03:24,055 --> 00:03:27,655
Speaker 3: the coddlings are developing, and those females lay their eggs

67
00:03:27,735 --> 00:03:30,455
Speaker 3: on it. You've got ten days if you like, between

68
00:03:30,495 --> 00:03:34,335
Speaker 3: the first moths flying in to the moment that those

69
00:03:34,495 --> 00:03:39,615
Speaker 3: eggs actually hatch into caterpillars. And once they hatch into caterpillars,

70
00:03:39,695 --> 00:03:42,295
Speaker 3: they go into the fruit and there's nothing you can

71
00:03:42,295 --> 00:03:44,735
Speaker 3: do about it. So this is your timing.

72
00:03:45,695 --> 00:03:49,375
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Also very quickly, I've got the trees in

73
00:03:49,415 --> 00:03:51,055
Speaker 4: the middle of a lawn. How do I feed it?

74
00:03:51,935 --> 00:03:53,455
Speaker 3: You've got a what in the middle of the lawn.

75
00:03:54,215 --> 00:03:55,895
Speaker 4: The tree is in the middle of a lawn. How

76
00:03:55,935 --> 00:03:57,055
Speaker 4: do I feed the tree?

77
00:03:57,535 --> 00:04:01,415
Speaker 3: Oh, basically by putting some fertilizer around the root zone

78
00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:04,855
Speaker 3: of the tree. So you put a handful of you know,

79
00:04:04,935 --> 00:04:06,695
Speaker 3: you know roughly what the roots are, and it's like

80
00:04:06,775 --> 00:04:09,575
Speaker 3: it goes as far as the edges of the tree

81
00:04:09,615 --> 00:04:12,775
Speaker 3: if you go down in in a vertical line.

82
00:04:13,215 --> 00:04:15,175
Speaker 4: So I mean lawn now, I mean I can't do

83
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:15,815
Speaker 4: get the lawn.

84
00:04:16,215 --> 00:04:17,775
Speaker 3: Now, you don't have to dig up the lawn. You

85
00:04:17,815 --> 00:04:20,775
Speaker 3: put the fertilizer on the lawn. It will then water

86
00:04:20,975 --> 00:04:24,335
Speaker 3: itself in or drift drift itself into the root zone

87
00:04:24,375 --> 00:04:27,135
Speaker 3: of the tree and then it gets its fertilizer.

88
00:04:27,775 --> 00:04:30,175
Speaker 4: That's okay, that's what I thought.

89
00:04:30,335 --> 00:04:32,615
Speaker 3: And a good one is liquid fertilizer.

90
00:04:33,535 --> 00:04:36,455
Speaker 4: Yes, that has them last year, which I sprayed on

91
00:04:36,495 --> 00:04:39,655
Speaker 4: the foliage. That's actually something got from budding. And that's

92
00:04:40,175 --> 00:04:43,095
Speaker 4: a hose on and it's supposed to ceaseful. I think

93
00:04:43,135 --> 00:04:46,495
Speaker 4: it is. Yeah, and liquid's large, letting me good.

94
00:04:46,615 --> 00:04:49,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is good. And especially if it's got

95
00:04:49,535 --> 00:04:52,455
Speaker 3: a high higher amount of potash, which is the k

96
00:04:53,135 --> 00:04:56,455
Speaker 3: of np K. You can see this right, Yeah, you

97
00:04:56,535 --> 00:04:59,175
Speaker 3: got it. And and remember there's one thing. I think

98
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:04,735
Speaker 3: it's a myth that folia fertilizer is important because folia

99
00:05:04,775 --> 00:05:07,015
Speaker 3: fertilizer is the stuff you spray on the leaves and

100
00:05:07,055 --> 00:05:09,495
Speaker 3: then it goes into the leaves. But I don't know

101
00:05:09,695 --> 00:05:12,735
Speaker 3: if you ever have been breathing through other holes than

102
00:05:12,815 --> 00:05:17,175
Speaker 3: your nose. I think in this case the fertilizer needs

103
00:05:17,215 --> 00:05:20,735
Speaker 3: to go to the roots. The roots take up the fertility,

104
00:05:21,055 --> 00:05:26,535
Speaker 3: not the leaves. There you go by.

105
00:05:26,335 --> 00:05:28,295
Speaker 2: Much pressure and tiny you have a great day and

106
00:05:28,375 --> 00:05:32,255
Speaker 2: fail a very good morning to you.

107
00:05:31,055 --> 00:05:32,375
Speaker 6: Money, How are you?

108
00:05:32,615 --> 00:05:33,175
Speaker 3: We're good.

109
00:05:34,855 --> 00:05:38,415
Speaker 6: In the tother moment, she heavy has like a rust

110
00:05:38,535 --> 00:05:41,935
Speaker 6: coming up on my leaves, on my.

111
00:05:42,055 --> 00:05:44,775
Speaker 3: Fruit trees of your lemon trees.

112
00:05:45,655 --> 00:05:47,975
Speaker 6: Living and orange yeah yeah, yeah.

113
00:05:47,775 --> 00:05:50,375
Speaker 3: Okay, And that rust is that orange stuff on the

114
00:05:50,415 --> 00:05:51,375
Speaker 3: top of the leaves.

115
00:05:52,535 --> 00:05:59,335
Speaker 6: It is yeah, yes, orange you did green yeah yeah

116
00:05:59,375 --> 00:05:59,775
Speaker 6: yeah yeah.

117
00:05:59,775 --> 00:06:02,415
Speaker 3: The orange is still yeah, the orange is still working.

118
00:06:02,895 --> 00:06:05,895
Speaker 3: Now if you've got a rust on a leak on

119
00:06:05,935 --> 00:06:09,015
Speaker 3: a leaf eaves. Generally the best way to spray it

120
00:06:09,055 --> 00:06:12,575
Speaker 3: is with copper and sulfur, such as a copper sulfur

121
00:06:12,695 --> 00:06:16,375
Speaker 3: mix like Nature's Way fungus spray.

122
00:06:17,695 --> 00:06:18,295
Speaker 6: Oh yes.

123
00:06:18,735 --> 00:06:20,935
Speaker 3: And the reason I'm saying that one is because you

124
00:06:21,015 --> 00:06:23,415
Speaker 3: have a tree that you're going to be eating the

125
00:06:23,455 --> 00:06:28,255
Speaker 3: fruit from, you know, so instead for instance, of using

126
00:06:28,335 --> 00:06:32,295
Speaker 3: microlob O'Neil and some other fungus sides, I think it

127
00:06:32,415 --> 00:06:35,695
Speaker 3: might be an idea to use a a fungus site

128
00:06:35,695 --> 00:06:39,215
Speaker 3: that is actually organic like copper and sulfur, and it

129
00:06:39,255 --> 00:06:42,015
Speaker 3: doesn't hurt you or you know, it's not not bad

130
00:06:42,055 --> 00:06:45,615
Speaker 3: for you to have that on the on the leaves.

131
00:06:45,415 --> 00:06:50,415
Speaker 6: And if and I do have a client, so that

132
00:06:50,495 --> 00:06:52,135
Speaker 6: would be good for eighty two?

133
00:06:52,135 --> 00:06:54,535
Speaker 3: Would it for aphyts?

134
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:55,615
Speaker 4: Yeah?

135
00:06:56,175 --> 00:06:58,695
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would use it. But I wouldn't use a

136
00:06:58,735 --> 00:07:02,295
Speaker 3: funger site on aphiths for a fix. I would use

137
00:07:02,335 --> 00:07:05,935
Speaker 3: something like the pyrethrums, which is another one of those

138
00:07:06,015 --> 00:07:09,135
Speaker 3: organs neck materials that the fits not like.

139
00:07:10,935 --> 00:07:14,015
Speaker 6: Okay, and I can get that from Runnings or mind

140
00:07:14,175 --> 00:07:19,895
Speaker 6: Tina somewhere, do I They all have it? Okay, are wonderful?

141
00:07:20,015 --> 00:07:20,215
Speaker 7: It is?

142
00:07:22,295 --> 00:07:26,175
Speaker 6: I have one more thing my lemon, my orange tree.

143
00:07:26,255 --> 00:07:30,735
Speaker 6: I find it. It's very it's all up. It's not

144
00:07:30,895 --> 00:07:32,895
Speaker 6: spreading out. What would be causing that?

145
00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:36,655
Speaker 3: Your your lemon tree is not what do you mean

146
00:07:36,695 --> 00:07:38,175
Speaker 3: it's not spreading out?

147
00:07:38,855 --> 00:07:41,695
Speaker 6: My orange tree. I have it in the big pot

148
00:07:42,215 --> 00:07:45,695
Speaker 6: and it's all coming up that just a couple of

149
00:07:45,735 --> 00:07:48,175
Speaker 6: branches are more coming out that the other ones are

150
00:07:48,215 --> 00:07:51,615
Speaker 6: all How do I ship pulling close? Pulling out a

151
00:07:51,695 --> 00:07:52,015
Speaker 6: wee bit?

152
00:07:53,695 --> 00:07:56,215
Speaker 3: Will they have to do that through growth? So I

153
00:07:56,255 --> 00:07:59,335
Speaker 3: am not underd percent sure what's happening there. Sometimes when

154
00:07:59,335 --> 00:08:03,615
Speaker 3: you prune your tree, you'll find that the buds below

155
00:08:03,655 --> 00:08:07,135
Speaker 3: where you've pruned it will go outwards. That would be good,

156
00:08:07,335 --> 00:08:09,495
Speaker 3: but you know what, to be quite honest, faye, I

157
00:08:09,535 --> 00:08:13,855
Speaker 3: think lemon trees and citrus trees are probably best planted

158
00:08:13,895 --> 00:08:17,015
Speaker 3: in soil rather than in containers.

159
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:21,135
Speaker 6: Yeah, my lemon tree, I've had it in my big pot.

160
00:08:21,575 --> 00:08:24,615
Speaker 6: I think it must have been a miniture one. But

161
00:08:25,015 --> 00:08:27,815
Speaker 6: I get heat, the heat fruit on it and it's

162
00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:32,295
Speaker 6: for about thirteens. Now, well that's good.

163
00:08:32,335 --> 00:08:35,375
Speaker 3: That's that is good. Going to be quite honest, yes,

164
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:39,535
Speaker 3: that's good. But generally speaking, there comes a time that

165
00:08:39,575 --> 00:08:42,015
Speaker 3: the pot is becoming too small for the root zone,

166
00:08:42,095 --> 00:08:43,455
Speaker 3: isn't it?

167
00:08:43,735 --> 00:08:46,095
Speaker 6: And my meat, I mean to say to my meat

168
00:08:46,295 --> 00:08:50,135
Speaker 6: is a bit dying of it dusty thing. So would

169
00:08:50,135 --> 00:08:51,455
Speaker 6: that be ideal for that too?

170
00:08:53,455 --> 00:08:56,175
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could use that, I suppose. Why not on

171
00:08:56,295 --> 00:08:59,975
Speaker 3: the copper or on the Yeah, use the copper has

172
00:09:00,015 --> 00:09:00,455
Speaker 3: always had?

173
00:09:02,855 --> 00:09:03,015
Speaker 7: Do you?

174
00:09:03,215 --> 00:09:03,495
Speaker 2: Thank you?

175
00:09:03,575 --> 00:09:03,815
Speaker 5: Faie?

176
00:09:05,255 --> 00:09:07,535
Speaker 2: What do you reckon the chance of meat? There's still

177
00:09:07,575 --> 00:09:11,095
Speaker 2: being some pancake better leftover by the time I get.

178
00:09:10,855 --> 00:09:14,095
Speaker 3: Home, not very little it now.

179
00:09:16,055 --> 00:09:18,575
Speaker 2: They would have hoovered them up by now by the

180
00:09:18,615 --> 00:09:23,015
Speaker 2: time I get home. Anyway, we live, and hope we'll

181
00:09:23,055 --> 00:09:24,775
Speaker 2: take sure break. We'll be back in just a moment.

182
00:09:24,975 --> 00:09:27,375
Speaker 2: I would climb Puss with us this morning, angel a

183
00:09:27,455 --> 00:09:28,335
Speaker 2: very good morning to you.

184
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:34,895
Speaker 7: Oh good morning. Yes, rude, I've got a real big problem.

185
00:09:35,255 --> 00:09:39,655
Speaker 7: We bought an old home, an old house that's been

186
00:09:39,695 --> 00:09:44,975
Speaker 7: rented out for ten years. We've got garden beds around

187
00:09:45,575 --> 00:09:49,295
Speaker 7: the perimeter of the house and on the around the fence,

188
00:09:50,775 --> 00:09:56,535
Speaker 7: and I'm having a problem with weeds and grass growing

189
00:09:56,735 --> 00:10:02,095
Speaker 7: in those beds that hadn't been dug for ten years. Foolishly,

190
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:06,975
Speaker 7: I guess when we first moved in, I spent a

191
00:10:07,015 --> 00:10:12,455
Speaker 7: whole week weeding out and sifting soil on the front

192
00:10:12,535 --> 00:10:18,135
Speaker 7: fence bed, and then I put compost in it and

193
00:10:18,455 --> 00:10:22,975
Speaker 7: top soil and planted, and within a week the weeds

194
00:10:23,015 --> 00:10:30,415
Speaker 7: were growing higher than the plants. So what I've tried

195
00:10:30,495 --> 00:10:37,335
Speaker 7: to do now is lay down, lay down a cardboard

196
00:10:37,535 --> 00:10:41,735
Speaker 7: and weed mat, and then put pebbles on top, and

197
00:10:42,015 --> 00:10:47,015
Speaker 7: just put my plants in pots. But I've got some

198
00:10:47,175 --> 00:10:52,015
Speaker 7: existing shrubs in there that I don't want to I

199
00:10:52,095 --> 00:10:56,015
Speaker 7: want to know if there's a weed killer, either vinegar

200
00:10:56,615 --> 00:11:01,415
Speaker 7: or something in a store that I can spray on

201
00:11:02,095 --> 00:11:09,455
Speaker 7: the pebble garden in between each shrub without killing the shrubs. Sorry,

202
00:11:09,495 --> 00:11:14,455
Speaker 7: I'm not very good explaining, but I get what you're saying.

203
00:11:14,535 --> 00:11:17,375
Speaker 3: So this is it. So that you've got a heck

204
00:11:17,415 --> 00:11:19,695
Speaker 3: of a lot of weeds, you try to do alsos

205
00:11:19,695 --> 00:11:22,535
Speaker 3: of thing with cardboard and pebbles on top of the

206
00:11:22,535 --> 00:11:27,775
Speaker 3: weed math you're you're, for instance, not keen on using

207
00:11:28,175 --> 00:11:31,015
Speaker 3: stuff like roundup.

208
00:11:31,695 --> 00:11:35,415
Speaker 7: No no, no, no no no no. Well I don't

209
00:11:35,535 --> 00:11:38,495
Speaker 7: I don't mind, but I don't want to kill a

210
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:42,895
Speaker 7: nice big hydranger bush and one or two shrubs that

211
00:11:42,935 --> 00:11:48,735
Speaker 7: are within the existing beds. I've covered them with pebbles,

212
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:52,855
Speaker 7: and what's happening now is I'm having to lay down.

213
00:11:52,895 --> 00:11:55,495
Speaker 7: I've got a thrider. I'm an old woman, I'm in

214
00:11:55,535 --> 00:11:58,655
Speaker 7: the late seventies. I'm having to lay down on the

215
00:11:58,695 --> 00:12:02,655
Speaker 7: ground and lean over and pull out the weeds and

216
00:12:02,775 --> 00:12:06,135
Speaker 7: blades of grass and stuff that are coming through the stone,

217
00:12:07,095 --> 00:12:13,095
Speaker 7: through the pebbles. So what you know, I gave up

218
00:12:13,135 --> 00:12:17,095
Speaker 7: on the front bed. I got full packets of wildflower seeds,

219
00:12:17,455 --> 00:12:20,575
Speaker 7: and I thought, I'll beat you buggers. I'm going to

220
00:12:20,655 --> 00:12:24,095
Speaker 7: sprinkle wildflowers all over you. And that's what I did.

221
00:12:24,455 --> 00:12:27,735
Speaker 7: So I've now got a wildflower bed at the front

222
00:12:27,775 --> 00:12:31,095
Speaker 7: of the house. I can't do it all the.

223
00:12:31,015 --> 00:12:36,215
Speaker 3: Way around, Okay, So there are ways of actually spraying

224
00:12:36,255 --> 00:12:39,655
Speaker 3: the weeds with let's say, like woody weed killer or whatever,

225
00:12:39,775 --> 00:12:41,255
Speaker 3: roundup e typestock grass.

226
00:12:41,615 --> 00:12:43,975
Speaker 7: It's a lot of it is grass egg.

227
00:12:44,095 --> 00:12:47,135
Speaker 3: Oh that's even better because that is reasonably easy to

228
00:12:47,175 --> 00:12:50,175
Speaker 3: control with that sort of stuff like roundup. But I'm

229
00:12:50,215 --> 00:12:53,615
Speaker 3: just saying, there is a way of actually putting pieces

230
00:12:53,655 --> 00:13:01,375
Speaker 3: of cardboard to protect your your your your various plants

231
00:13:01,375 --> 00:13:05,255
Speaker 3: that you want to keep, you know, from beyond me.

232
00:13:06,855 --> 00:13:11,895
Speaker 7: I already put down cardboard, sick cardboard from cardboll boxes,

233
00:13:12,655 --> 00:13:15,215
Speaker 7: and then you know, on top of the weed mat

234
00:13:15,335 --> 00:13:18,415
Speaker 7: and then pebbles, but it's still coming through.

235
00:13:19,095 --> 00:13:23,055
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay. So the idea is to actually get your

236
00:13:23,055 --> 00:13:26,615
Speaker 3: weed killer whatever you use, from a nozzle that you

237
00:13:26,695 --> 00:13:30,815
Speaker 3: can actually aim in the right place. But what I'm

238
00:13:30,815 --> 00:13:33,655
Speaker 3: saying about the cardboard is, have you thought about also

239
00:13:33,695 --> 00:13:37,295
Speaker 3: having cardboard in a vertical manner so that if there

240
00:13:37,375 --> 00:13:39,815
Speaker 3: is a bit of drift of wheat killer, that it

241
00:13:39,895 --> 00:13:43,055
Speaker 3: doesn't go over your hydrangels, that it doesn't even get there,

242
00:13:43,495 --> 00:13:44,095
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

243
00:13:45,335 --> 00:13:47,775
Speaker 7: Yeah, why don't you get to the roots through the

244
00:13:47,895 --> 00:13:48,975
Speaker 7: soil underneath?

245
00:13:49,695 --> 00:13:51,975
Speaker 3: Not if you take it easy and just do the

246
00:13:52,015 --> 00:13:55,135
Speaker 3: grass from the top, you don't have to overdo it. Honestly,

247
00:13:55,175 --> 00:13:57,895
Speaker 3: you don't. And this is why, this is why I

248
00:13:58,055 --> 00:14:00,255
Speaker 3: mentioned things like woody weed killer and round up and

249
00:14:00,295 --> 00:14:02,415
Speaker 3: all these other things. A lot of people don't like them,

250
00:14:02,455 --> 00:14:05,295
Speaker 3: and I can imagine that's the case. But if you know,

251
00:14:05,935 --> 00:14:08,335
Speaker 3: if you if you put a sticker on those which

252
00:14:08,375 --> 00:14:11,375
Speaker 3: means a sticker is just so affectant that it sticks

253
00:14:11,415 --> 00:14:15,455
Speaker 3: to the grass leaves themselves, you don't need it much

254
00:14:15,735 --> 00:14:17,215
Speaker 3: before it goes down.

255
00:14:17,095 --> 00:14:21,095
Speaker 7: Into I don't mind you, I don't mind using round up.

256
00:14:22,175 --> 00:14:26,455
Speaker 7: But yeah, I just can't keep lying down on the

257
00:14:26,495 --> 00:14:31,175
Speaker 7: ground with arthri hibs and trying to do it.

258
00:14:31,575 --> 00:14:34,015
Speaker 3: I have the same problem. Don't worry, I know exactly

259
00:14:34,055 --> 00:14:36,695
Speaker 3: what I mean. I've got to try to do the

260
00:14:36,735 --> 00:14:37,215
Speaker 3: same thing.

261
00:14:37,535 --> 00:14:42,415
Speaker 2: So good luck with that, Jills. Over time, hopefully you

262
00:14:42,455 --> 00:14:44,695
Speaker 2: get on top of it. But yeah, you can. You

263
00:14:44,695 --> 00:14:47,055
Speaker 2: can just picture a you know, teen years of sort

264
00:14:47,055 --> 00:14:48,015
Speaker 2: of lack of attention.

265
00:14:49,055 --> 00:14:52,255
Speaker 3: It is a mess. It's absolute mess. And sometimes you

266
00:14:52,255 --> 00:14:54,015
Speaker 3: would use you need napem.

286
00:15:54,135 --> 00:15:55,295
Speaker 2: your lemon tree.

287
00:15:56,055 --> 00:16:00,735
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hio, morning rude. I've got a lemon tree and

288
00:16:00,815 --> 00:16:03,655
Speaker 8: a lime tree, both planted at the same time, about

289
00:16:03,655 --> 00:16:07,535
Speaker 8: twelve years ago. The lime tree is massive. I'm just

290
00:16:07,655 --> 00:16:10,615
Speaker 8: abundant with fruits. The lemon tree is not even a

291
00:16:10,655 --> 00:16:13,975
Speaker 8: meter high. It's not so healthy. And we get about

292
00:16:13,975 --> 00:16:14,775
Speaker 8: four lemons the here.

293
00:16:16,255 --> 00:16:21,335
Speaker 3: Okay, what's the lemon tree's name? What's its variety? Mayor

294
00:16:21,575 --> 00:16:25,735
Speaker 3: mayor lemon? Well, sometimes that happens. I we at the

295
00:16:25,775 --> 00:16:27,655
Speaker 3: moment on the porthills have a bit of a problem

296
00:16:27,655 --> 00:16:29,655
Speaker 3: with lemon trees. It's not the right place for them.

297
00:16:29,695 --> 00:16:32,215
Speaker 3: D you need to dig a whole big hole with

298
00:16:32,295 --> 00:16:35,375
Speaker 3: new new soil if you like it. Is that sort

299
00:16:35,415 --> 00:16:39,215
Speaker 3: of stuff sometimes and if but if you're a lime

300
00:16:39,815 --> 00:16:42,335
Speaker 3: which is I assume not too far away from the

301
00:16:42,455 --> 00:16:47,215
Speaker 3: lemon tree. No, if that does well, then you might

302
00:16:47,295 --> 00:16:50,935
Speaker 3: have got a lemon tree that is not that not

303
00:16:50,975 --> 00:16:53,495
Speaker 3: that healthy, not that good, not that well if you

304
00:16:53,695 --> 00:16:58,735
Speaker 3: like grown in the nursery, and you might need another

305
00:16:58,775 --> 00:17:01,935
Speaker 3: one that is quite often helps that quite often.

306
00:17:01,695 --> 00:17:03,735
Speaker 8: Helps wrap it out. You reckon.

307
00:17:04,495 --> 00:17:07,375
Speaker 3: No, don't rip it out. No, don't drip it out,

308
00:17:07,735 --> 00:17:11,935
Speaker 3: because you always need two lemons if you maya for instance,

309
00:17:12,255 --> 00:17:17,215
Speaker 3: for for for the fact that they sometimes work one

310
00:17:17,295 --> 00:17:20,855
Speaker 3: year not the other year, and you need pollinatus. So

311
00:17:20,895 --> 00:17:23,135
Speaker 3: sometimes it pays to keep it there and put the

312
00:17:23,175 --> 00:17:25,135
Speaker 3: next one next door to it and see how it goes.

313
00:17:25,815 --> 00:17:30,255
Speaker 2: Okay, awesome, good luck to you. Take care and Ross

314
00:17:30,895 --> 00:17:36,015
Speaker 2: a mystery, Hey Ross, Yeah, Hi, Hey.

315
00:17:35,895 --> 00:17:36,335
Speaker 4: Go for it.

316
00:17:36,935 --> 00:17:40,575
Speaker 2: We've got to big brief. We got one minute.

317
00:17:40,855 --> 00:17:43,735
Speaker 5: Yeah hi. I've got this creeping sort of weed. It's

318
00:17:44,255 --> 00:17:47,495
Speaker 5: it's about three or four millimeters. It's flat, and it's green,

319
00:17:47,615 --> 00:17:51,415
Speaker 5: and it's I think it goes better or worse, which

320
00:17:51,415 --> 00:17:54,575
Speaker 5: every way to call it in the shade. But it's

321
00:17:54,655 --> 00:17:57,335
Speaker 5: just invasive and it's just growing all over the place,

322
00:17:57,375 --> 00:18:01,135
Speaker 5: starts off and cracks and it just spreads what is it?

323
00:18:01,415 --> 00:18:02,575
Speaker 5: And how do you get rid of it?

324
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:05,495
Speaker 3: I can't see that from this distance. Ross to be

325
00:18:05,575 --> 00:18:06,295
Speaker 3: quite on stuffy.

326
00:18:06,295 --> 00:18:09,735
Speaker 5: It's always fish scales. It's like fish scales. It's just

327
00:18:09,775 --> 00:18:12,415
Speaker 5: a flat weed that goes on the surface of the soil.

328
00:18:13,015 --> 00:18:15,895
Speaker 5: It never goes more than about two milimeters high. It's

329
00:18:15,935 --> 00:18:17,335
Speaker 5: just like a fish.

330
00:18:17,055 --> 00:18:22,215
Speaker 3: Scale green, so it's on the ground itself. It's not wondering,

331
00:18:22,255 --> 00:18:25,055
Speaker 3: Willy look, No, I don't know. I'd have to look

332
00:18:25,095 --> 00:18:26,695
Speaker 3: at it. I have to look at it to see

333
00:18:26,695 --> 00:18:31,375
Speaker 3: what I is. Get now, get it identified. Put it

334
00:18:31,415 --> 00:18:35,495
Speaker 3: on I Naturalist on your phone, I net you list.

335
00:18:35,575 --> 00:18:38,535
Speaker 3: It's an app for free and you'll learn very quickly

336
00:18:38,575 --> 00:18:40,655
Speaker 3: how to use it, and it identifies what the weed

337
00:18:40,735 --> 00:18:42,535
Speaker 3: is and then we can get somewhere.

338
00:18:42,935 --> 00:18:44,935
Speaker 2: I might test that out today because I think I've

339
00:18:44,975 --> 00:18:48,055
Speaker 2: got the same thing creeping out across the broken concrete

340
00:18:48,095 --> 00:18:48,895
Speaker 2: path at my place.

341
00:18:49,335 --> 00:18:51,975
Speaker 3: Okay, right, I'll try there. Any different things go.

342
00:18:52,135 --> 00:18:56,255
