This is this is 64 00:03:18,495 --> 00:03:22,135 Speaker 3: just an idea. Get some self made of potash. Potash 65 00:03:22,255 --> 00:03:25,175 Speaker 3: in other words, this is simple potash. And you put 66 00:03:25,175 --> 00:03:29,855 Speaker 3: that on the root zone just after winter, literally just 67 00:03:29,895 --> 00:03:32,935 Speaker 3: before it all starts again. Do it again, they'd say, 68 00:03:33,015 --> 00:03:37,015 Speaker 3: in October November, and that tells the tree it's time 69 00:03:37,335 --> 00:03:39,935 Speaker 3: to start having flowers and it's time to make fun. 70 00:03:40,295 --> 00:03:42,615 Speaker 3: Off you go. Honestly, that is the way to go. 71 00:03:42,695 --> 00:03:45,175 Speaker 3: It's kind of from shocks them, shocks them into doing that. 72 00:03:46,775 --> 00:03:49,815 Speaker 6: Do I I've got a fireplace, don't put the issues 73 00:03:49,855 --> 00:03:52,175 Speaker 6: on the fireplace on it, or you're buy the souf. 74 00:03:53,175 --> 00:03:57,695 Speaker 4: Actually you could, yes you could, but but but don't 75 00:03:57,735 --> 00:04:02,375 Speaker 4: go don't make it too much from now. Actually, what 76 00:04:02,415 --> 00:04:04,855 Speaker 4: you can do, what you can do now from winter time, 77 00:04:05,335 --> 00:04:07,375 Speaker 4: do a little bit only maybe. 78 00:04:07,255 --> 00:04:10,495 Speaker 3: A centimeter thick. That said, and water it in the 79 00:04:10,575 --> 00:04:13,735 Speaker 3: root zone. You'll find that that's going to because you 80 00:04:13,775 --> 00:04:15,935 Speaker 3: get far more partic in the system.

Good morning, good morning. 144 00:08:19,935 --> 00:08:24,655 Speaker 8: I bought over one hundred daffodil bombs at the Hoka 145 00:08:24,735 --> 00:08:28,015 Speaker 8: Farmer's Market on Friday. I came home very excited about it. 146 00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:33,175 Speaker 8: Then when I picked up the press, the weekend magazine 147 00:08:33,215 --> 00:08:35,655 Speaker 8: in there was talking about phases of the moon, and 148 00:08:35,695 --> 00:08:38,255 Speaker 8: so for the next at least ten days while we 149 00:08:38,335 --> 00:08:41,175 Speaker 8: have a full moon and whatever, I shouldn't be doing 150 00:08:41,215 --> 00:08:44,215 Speaker 8: anything like you can wead and clear and there's no 151 00:08:44,455 --> 00:08:47,895 Speaker 8: certainly no planting. I just wondered if Reid would ignore 152 00:08:47,935 --> 00:08:50,495 Speaker 8: all that, or if he's ever been bothered with the 153 00:08:50,535 --> 00:08:52,215 Speaker 8: phases of the moon for gardening. 154 00:08:53,935 --> 00:08:58,015 Speaker 3: I do like to plant at full moon, which today, 155 00:08:58,055 --> 00:09:00,255 Speaker 3: by the way, I just saw the full moon goes beautiful. 156 00:09:00,415 --> 00:09:02,975 Speaker 3: When I got into the kitchen it was a gorgeous 157 00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:05,535 Speaker 3: one and a full, big one. Oh yeah, So that's 158 00:09:05,615 --> 00:09:09,535 Speaker 3: number one. Look number two, if you plant daffodils and you, 159 00:09:09,655 --> 00:09:13,375 Speaker 3: for instance, come back from work late and it's dark, 160 00:09:13,735 --> 00:09:15,375 Speaker 3: you better do. 161 00:09:20,255 --> 00:09:22,295 Speaker 2: He rude. I think we're losing you there on the 162 00:09:22,375 --> 00:09:25,335 Speaker 2: tie line. We might just tell you what's down the line, Lorraine. 163 00:09:25,375 --> 00:09:27,215 Speaker 2: We'll just take a short break, sort this out and 164 00:09:27,335 --> 00:09:31,295 Speaker 2: come back after the break. Radioh We've got root on 165 00:09:31,335 --> 00:09:34,735 Speaker 2: the line and Lorraine just wrapping up their conversation. So 166 00:09:34,855 --> 00:09:37,095 Speaker 2: planting by the moon phases, what do you reckon rut. 167 00:09:38,095 --> 00:09:40,615 Speaker 7: I reckon that you better use it the moon if 168 00:09:40,655 --> 00:09:42,535 Speaker 7: you do it in the evening, because you can see 169 00:09:42,535 --> 00:09:46,615 Speaker 7: where you're going in your garden. That's number one, And 170 00:09:47,095 --> 00:09:49,695 Speaker 7: that tells you a little bit about the science of 171 00:09:50,575 --> 00:09:53,215 Speaker 7: the way. I was trained in science in the Netherlands. 172 00:09:53,255 --> 00:09:55,175 Speaker 7: But on the other hand, you know, if you're looking 173 00:09:55,215 --> 00:09:58,775 Speaker 7: at biodynamics, which is something, for instance, that a lot 174 00:09:58,815 --> 00:10:03,375 Speaker 7: of really cool vinyards are doing, it's a totally different gig. 175 00:10:04,015 --> 00:10:08,055 Speaker 7: And I believe there are some different sometimes with moon 176 00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:11,255 Speaker 7: phases and things like that. I don't know why I'm 177 00:10:11,295 --> 00:10:14,775 Speaker 7: saying that, because scientifically, I don't think many people haven't 178 00:10:14,855 --> 00:10:18,175 Speaker 7: proven people have improved that. But it seems to work 179 00:10:18,615 --> 00:10:23,735 Speaker 7: really well if you if you follow that particular if 180 00:10:23,775 --> 00:10:28,535 Speaker 7: you're like method of planting and harvesting and all that 181 00:10:28,575 --> 00:10:31,135 Speaker 7: sort of stuff. So it just depends on how you 182 00:10:31,175 --> 00:10:34,095 Speaker 7: feel about it. But personally, I sometimes don't have the time. 183 00:10:34,455 --> 00:10:36,575 Speaker 7: I don't have the time to do it at certain times, 184 00:10:36,975 --> 00:10:38,935 Speaker 7: so I have to do it when I can. And 185 00:10:38,975 --> 00:10:41,095 Speaker 7: that is another serious thing, you. 186 00:10:41,055 --> 00:10:44,735 Speaker 8: Know, Okay, it was some of these some of the 187 00:10:44,815 --> 00:10:47,815 Speaker 8: bulbs have started to shoot, so I don't want them 188 00:10:48,015 --> 00:10:50,695 Speaker 8: out of the ground. Too long. But ten days sends 189 00:10:50,735 --> 00:10:54,255 Speaker 8: a long time to get through that phase of the moon. 190 00:10:54,295 --> 00:10:57,135 Speaker 8: But I know that the moon controls the tides and 191 00:10:57,415 --> 00:10:59,255 Speaker 8: all sorts of things earthy. 192 00:11:00,015 --> 00:11:05,775 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely them. No, you don't waste them. 193 00:11:05,775 --> 00:11:09,055 Speaker 7: If you put him in the fridge, I can actually 194 00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:11,775 Speaker 7: you can actually you can actually not in the freeze, 195 00:11:11,855 --> 00:11:14,735 Speaker 7: but in the fridge. You can keep them stopping the 196 00:11:14,935 --> 00:11:17,495 Speaker 7: development to do it when you want to do it. 197 00:11:17,535 --> 00:11:19,135 Speaker 7: If you want to work with the moon, you can 198 00:11:19,135 --> 00:11:24,495 Speaker 7: do it that way. But personally, yeah, thank you. It's 199 00:11:24,535 --> 00:11:25,575 Speaker 7: your way to go off. 200 00:11:25,615 --> 00:11:31,015 Speaker 2: You go, take care and Margaret a very good morning. 201 00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:33,695 Speaker 9: It's made the old big. 202 00:11:38,015 --> 00:11:40,895 Speaker 7: There's got to be gusy. 203 00:11:41,975 --> 00:11:46,815 Speaker 9: Now we've we've got a lot of wasps. We've got 204 00:11:46,855 --> 00:11:53,495 Speaker 9: plenty flowers and everything, and we can get everything right. 205 00:11:53,975 --> 00:11:58,135 Speaker 9: But yeah, what do we do about the wasps? 206 00:11:58,895 --> 00:12:00,335 Speaker 7: Which wasp Saturday, Margaret? 207 00:12:01,015 --> 00:12:04,015 Speaker 9: The ones with the legs hanging down mostly. 208 00:12:04,015 --> 00:12:08,735 Speaker 7: Ah, these are the paper wasps. Good, that is reasonably easy. 209 00:12:08,935 --> 00:12:10,175 Speaker 7: Do you know where the nests are? 210 00:12:11,655 --> 00:12:11,855 Speaker 1: Oh? 211 00:12:11,935 --> 00:12:15,775 Speaker 9: We could, now it's pretty because it's we live in 212 00:12:15,815 --> 00:12:20,975 Speaker 9: a little cular sac and everything's here. Sah Okay. 213 00:12:21,855 --> 00:12:24,255 Speaker 7: What I tend to do and ask people that are. 214 00:12:25,255 --> 00:12:28,015 Speaker 7: If you like quick and easy and all that sort 215 00:12:28,055 --> 00:12:31,855 Speaker 7: of stuff, that's yourself one of those wasps within a 216 00:12:31,935 --> 00:12:35,095 Speaker 7: butterfly net for instance, or something like that. Chuck it 217 00:12:35,135 --> 00:12:38,055 Speaker 7: in the freezer for four minutes so that they get 218 00:12:38,095 --> 00:12:42,575 Speaker 7: stunned and don't do anything. Put a piece of red 219 00:12:42,735 --> 00:12:46,975 Speaker 7: or blue or some bright colored wool or cotton around 220 00:12:47,015 --> 00:12:50,935 Speaker 7: it's admen, and let it go where you caught it, 221 00:12:51,015 --> 00:12:55,335 Speaker 7: and you'll find it easier to follow those wasps where 222 00:12:55,335 --> 00:12:57,935 Speaker 7: they have they'll go back to the nest and you 223 00:12:57,935 --> 00:13:00,535 Speaker 7: can actually follow them. It might be a bit of 224 00:13:00,575 --> 00:13:02,695 Speaker 7: a trick to do it, but the point is you 225 00:13:02,775 --> 00:13:06,215 Speaker 7: can't find the nested way once. 226 00:13:05,975 --> 00:13:11,695 Speaker 9: You got Actually, I think they're different wasps because some 227 00:13:11,775 --> 00:13:19,255 Speaker 9: of them are just hovering little ones and they're just yeah, yeah, 228 00:13:19,615 --> 00:13:20,535 Speaker 9: they're still. 229 00:13:21,135 --> 00:13:22,855 Speaker 7: They still have to go back to the nest at 230 00:13:22,855 --> 00:13:27,215 Speaker 7: some stage. We're getting to the end of that though. Yeah. 231 00:13:27,255 --> 00:13:29,495 Speaker 4: Okay from there. 232 00:13:29,535 --> 00:13:33,175 Speaker 2: Good luck with that, Margaret, all the very very best you.

Found a very unusual insects 235 00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:43,135 Speaker 10: in my garden. It looks a bit like a caterpillar. 236 00:13:43,655 --> 00:13:49,015 Speaker 10: It's got four legs and two large, large feelers in 237 00:13:49,055 --> 00:13:53,095 Speaker 10: the front. It's about two centimeters long, and it looks 238 00:13:53,175 --> 00:13:55,855 Speaker 10: like a caterpillar at the back, but at the front 239 00:13:56,055 --> 00:14:02,055 Speaker 10: it's a totally different insect and it's a muncher. From 240 00:14:02,135 --> 00:14:05,375 Speaker 10: my rose, I couldn't make out what was eating my rose. 241 00:14:08,095 --> 00:14:11,575 Speaker 10: I've never seen anything like it. Very dark brown, and 242 00:14:11,735 --> 00:14:15,295 Speaker 10: the ribs of it, like the rolls of the Canipali. 243 00:14:15,375 --> 00:14:18,095 Speaker 10: Part of it is black, but every now and again 244 00:14:18,135 --> 00:14:23,575 Speaker 10: it's got this very yellow gold change of color in it. 245 00:14:24,815 --> 00:14:32,455 Speaker 7: And it's on your roses? Is it? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, 246 00:14:32,535 --> 00:14:32,775 Speaker 7: go on. 247 00:14:33,735 --> 00:14:36,455 Speaker 10: I'm in the baioplanting and I just think it's very 248 00:14:36,935 --> 00:14:39,895 Speaker 10: if it's something that shouldn't be here, because it's certainly 249 00:14:39,895 --> 00:14:40,375 Speaker 10: a muncha. 250 00:14:41,855 --> 00:14:44,295 Speaker 7: Yeah, I could imagine if that if if it makes you, 251 00:14:44,415 --> 00:14:46,655 Speaker 7: it may it makes you sit up and watch, then 252 00:14:46,815 --> 00:14:50,575 Speaker 7: that's exactly what it is. So have you got a smartphone, Denise? 253 00:14:51,695 --> 00:14:51,895 Speaker 10: Yes? 254 00:14:53,175 --> 00:14:59,655 Speaker 7: Can you download an app called I Naturalist, So it's 255 00:14:59,735 --> 00:15:04,015 Speaker 7: one word I and then naturalist or one word It 256 00:15:04,135 --> 00:15:06,975 Speaker 7: is quite easy to do. It doesn't you need to, 257 00:15:07,335 --> 00:15:09,855 Speaker 7: but if you can take a really good shot photo 258 00:15:09,895 --> 00:15:14,495 Speaker 7: of that creature and loaded up to I Naturalist, you 259 00:15:14,575 --> 00:15:20,895 Speaker 7: will get an identity, A proper scientific identity within ten 260 00:15:20,975 --> 00:15:23,255 Speaker 7: seconds fifteen seconds. 261 00:15:23,815 --> 00:15:27,575 Speaker 10: Okay, so just just just a little eye. 262 00:15:27,455 --> 00:15:30,615 Speaker 7: With a dot. Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's if 263 00:15:30,615 --> 00:15:33,215 Speaker 7: it's capital or not. I. So the letter I with 264 00:15:33,295 --> 00:15:36,295 Speaker 7: the dot on it. If you like naturalist not to 265 00:15:36,535 --> 00:15:39,575 Speaker 7: ra list, that's it and you'll find that is one 266 00:15:39,615 --> 00:15:42,015 Speaker 7: of them. Actually, that is really good if you're guiding, 267 00:15:42,095 --> 00:15:45,175 Speaker 7: because weed and other plants you can identify them with 268 00:15:45,295 --> 00:15:49,375 Speaker 7: I Naturalists as well, not just caterpillars, not just but birds, 269 00:15:49,535 --> 00:15:54,175 Speaker 7: sounds and things like that too. Also everything that everything 270 00:15:54,215 --> 00:15:57,735 Speaker 7: on the planet can be identified by I Naturalists. There 271 00:15:57,775 --> 00:16:00,575 Speaker 7: you go, Now, I'm not kidding. And that helps you 272 00:16:00,855 --> 00:16:02,815 Speaker 7: to go on Google and find out what it is. 273 00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:07,375 Speaker 10: And you know what I mean, I feel somewhat where 274 00:16:07,375 --> 00:16:09,655 Speaker 10: would I contact her if I find it's not a 275 00:16:10,495 --> 00:16:11,775 Speaker 10: not a nice little creature? 276 00:16:12,855 --> 00:16:14,455 Speaker 7: Well, what you can do is you can then do 277 00:16:14,535 --> 00:16:17,175 Speaker 7: some controlling. You can ask your local if you've got 278 00:16:17,215 --> 00:16:19,775 Speaker 7: the name of it, the people in your local garden 279 00:16:19,775 --> 00:16:21,735 Speaker 7: center will be able to tell you what it is. 280 00:16:22,335 --> 00:16:25,615 Speaker 7: And you know, there are many different very safe in 281 00:16:25,695 --> 00:16:28,535 Speaker 7: secticides you can use to stop these things from working around. 282 00:16:29,535 --> 00:16:32,335 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's just that you know, I can control that 283 00:16:32,415 --> 00:16:34,935 Speaker 10: in my back gut. But it's where as it comes from. 284 00:16:34,975 --> 00:16:36,335 Speaker 10: That's the other concern. You know. 285 00:16:37,335 --> 00:16:41,615 Speaker 7: Goodness, no, this is why we need identified first step 286 00:16:41,655 --> 00:16:45,615 Speaker 7: one and let me give give us a call back 287 00:16:45,655 --> 00:16:48,295 Speaker 7: when you've got it. You can do a bit. Oh wait, 288 00:16:48,415 --> 00:16:50,255 Speaker 7: hundred eighty eighty is very simple. 289 00:16:50,335 --> 00:16:52,215 Speaker 2: Let us know how you get on, Denise, Thank you 290 00:16:52,335 --> 00:16:55,535 Speaker 2: very much for your call. A couple of quick texts. 291 00:16:55,975 --> 00:16:58,135 Speaker 2: Someone who's got a peartree a couple of years old 292 00:16:58,175 --> 00:17:00,775 Speaker 2: seems to be of some sort of type of rust 293 00:17:01,375 --> 00:17:04,375 Speaker 2: or something taking over the leaves. Small spots too, have 294 00:17:04,575 --> 00:17:09,415 Speaker 2: used copper spray to know in any thoughts or recommendations 295 00:17:09,415 --> 00:17:10,295 Speaker 2: from Bread. 296 00:17:11,175 --> 00:17:13,375 Speaker 7: Yes, I would have used a copper or a copper 297 00:17:13,455 --> 00:17:17,895 Speaker 7: and sulfur, which is jah Major's way. Fungal spray, which 298 00:17:17,895 --> 00:17:21,695 Speaker 7: has got both ingredients. That should basically stop that. But 299 00:17:22,455 --> 00:17:25,095 Speaker 7: it doesn't. It doesn't mean that the leaves he will, 300 00:17:25,135 --> 00:17:28,655 Speaker 7: of course immediately they won't, but new leaves will not 301 00:17:29,215 --> 00:17:33,215 Speaker 7: show the same symptom. That is how these fungicides work. 302 00:17:34,135 --> 00:17:39,175 Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate that. How often should you fertilize lemon or 303 00:17:39,255 --> 00:17:40,255 Speaker 2: mandarin trees? 304 00:17:43,295 --> 00:17:48,695 Speaker 7: I would start doing that in springtime you can because 305 00:17:48,735 --> 00:17:51,615 Speaker 7: it's still warm. Have a go now, a little bit 306 00:17:51,895 --> 00:17:54,255 Speaker 7: just by hand, you know, a handful to the square 307 00:17:54,335 --> 00:17:55,215 Speaker 7: meter type stuff. 308 00:17:55,455 --> 00:17:55,655 Speaker 3: Yep. 309 00:17:56,295 --> 00:18:00,135 Speaker 7: But especially in springtime that's when the growth really starts 310 00:18:00,175 --> 00:18:05,375 Speaker 7: to ever go. And so spring dome, say September over November. 311 00:18:05,575 --> 00:18:08,135 Speaker 7: So September November, and you could ever go again in 312 00:18:08,215 --> 00:18:09,015 Speaker 7: January if you like. 313 00:18:09,895 --> 00:18:11,735 Speaker 2: So, not a lot of point in doing it now. 314 00:18:13,775 --> 00:18:18,335 Speaker 7: No, it's still warm enough to it's there's still a 315 00:18:18,335 --> 00:18:21,095 Speaker 7: bit they would still take some stuff up. The soil 316 00:18:21,175 --> 00:18:24,775 Speaker 7: is still quite warmed for still at least May. So yeah, 317 00:18:25,055 --> 00:18:25,495 Speaker 7: you could. 318 00:18:25,695 --> 00:18:28,935 Speaker 2: You're on the edge now, given that we talked about chainsaws, 319 00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:31,015 Speaker 2: this is a good question for you. Right now, my 320 00:18:31,175 --> 00:18:34,375 Speaker 2: healthy passion fruit plant has suddenly started losing all of 321 00:18:34,375 --> 00:18:38,495 Speaker 2: its leaves from Mark, healthy passion fruit suddenly turned up 322 00:18:38,535 --> 00:18:41,695 Speaker 2: the toes. What's happening there, Rid, I don't know. 323 00:18:41,855 --> 00:18:46,495 Speaker 7: I planted through here we go, Here we go, Peter, 324 00:18:47,015 --> 00:18:51,335 Speaker 7: I've planted to passion fruits at home. One of them 325 00:18:51,535 --> 00:18:55,935 Speaker 7: is doing exactly what this person says. The other one 326 00:18:55,975 --> 00:18:58,535 Speaker 7: that is growing really quick. 327 00:19:00,615 --> 00:19:02,535 Speaker 2: There's no there's no rhyme or reason. 328 00:19:02,655 --> 00:19:05,615 Speaker 3: Sometimes no, you have no idea what it is? 329 00:19:06,295 --> 00:19:08,855 Speaker 2: That fabulous? Right, So you're going to go on, fire 330 00:19:08,935 --> 00:19:11,015 Speaker 2: up the chainsaw to get rid of the flax.
