00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:12,055
Speaker 1: from News Talks at Bay.

3
00:00:53,775 --> 00:00:56,215
Speaker 2: Already, as always on Sunday morning, it's time to get

4
00:00:56,215 --> 00:00:58,895
Speaker 2: into the garden. We're bang on time, Red climb pass.

5
00:00:58,935 --> 00:01:00,975
Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, Good morning.

6
00:01:01,375 --> 00:01:04,575
Speaker 3: Are you feeling yourself really cool in the UK with

7
00:01:04,695 --> 00:01:07,175
Speaker 3: four point thirty sunset and.

8
00:01:07,215 --> 00:01:10,935
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know it's the sun's not up till

9
00:01:11,135 --> 00:01:15,215
Speaker 2: eight thirty or something like that. Some frost in the garden,

10
00:01:15,975 --> 00:01:19,855
Speaker 2: beautiful garden at the house that we're staying, and really

11
00:01:19,895 --> 00:01:23,255
Speaker 2: lovely just just to see, I mean, even like most

12
00:01:23,295 --> 00:01:24,975
Speaker 2: of the leaves have already fallen off the trees, but

13
00:01:25,015 --> 00:01:27,615
Speaker 2: there's a big old oak tree in the backyard that's

14
00:01:27,655 --> 00:01:32,775
Speaker 2: now lost the last of its leaves. Beautiful sunsets, you know,

15
00:01:32,895 --> 00:01:35,215
Speaker 2: that sort of golden hour. But yeah, at four thirty

16
00:01:35,255 --> 00:01:37,295
Speaker 2: in the afternoon, that takes a bit of getting used to.

17
00:01:37,815 --> 00:01:41,015
Speaker 3: Yeah, Julie and I had a conversation about driving in

18
00:01:41,095 --> 00:01:48,095
Speaker 3: the UK after your comment when we were there reasons

19
00:01:48,215 --> 00:01:51,735
Speaker 3: you remember, well you probably well you probably do when

20
00:01:51,775 --> 00:01:53,855
Speaker 3: we were there quite often, you know, because she had

21
00:01:53,855 --> 00:01:54,415
Speaker 3: family there.

22
00:01:55,255 --> 00:01:58,575
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure you needed some ways.

23
00:01:58,135 --> 00:02:02,455
Speaker 3: To get there, so you needed at least some person

24
00:02:02,655 --> 00:02:04,935
Speaker 3: looking this is going, this is where you're going, left,

25
00:02:04,935 --> 00:02:06,135
Speaker 3: this we're going right and all that.

26
00:02:07,055 --> 00:02:08,295
Speaker 4: And I was really good at that.

27
00:02:08,415 --> 00:02:11,575
Speaker 3: But so Julie had to drive and I was being

28
00:02:11,575 --> 00:02:15,055
Speaker 3: the navigator, and she remembered it. It was quite quite

29
00:02:15,175 --> 00:02:17,815
Speaker 3: or aw wing, you know, in terms of four for crying.

30
00:02:17,815 --> 00:02:21,175
Speaker 4: I'd like, what now, oh yeah, left quick, that sort

31
00:02:21,175 --> 00:02:21,895
Speaker 4: of stuff.

32
00:02:22,095 --> 00:02:24,055
Speaker 2: I mean, And that's that's in the days. And I

33
00:02:24,055 --> 00:02:27,215
Speaker 2: can remember doing a trip, you know, through Europe twenty

34
00:02:27,255 --> 00:02:30,255
Speaker 2: five years ago, right driving and one of us had

35
00:02:30,295 --> 00:02:34,135
Speaker 2: the map and the US was driving. So today's and obviously,

36
00:02:34,895 --> 00:02:38,335
Speaker 2: yes it is your phone and you follow that. But

37
00:02:38,655 --> 00:02:42,015
Speaker 2: what really struck me was, you know, between where we are,

38
00:02:42,095 --> 00:02:44,895
Speaker 2: which is not it's not a tiny tiny village. And

39
00:02:44,975 --> 00:02:49,135
Speaker 2: we drove to Oxford the other day. It took me

40
00:02:49,655 --> 00:02:53,455
Speaker 2: literally through Grandpa's backyard, right it was. It was farmer

41
00:02:53,575 --> 00:02:57,295
Speaker 2: Joe's you know back paddock and round the corner and

42
00:02:57,375 --> 00:02:59,255
Speaker 2: round the church and up and over the back and

43
00:02:59,295 --> 00:03:02,975
Speaker 2: I'm like cheapers. Anyway, it was, it was. It was

44
00:03:03,015 --> 00:03:07,055
Speaker 2: a lovely drive. But I said, my nerves when I

45
00:03:07,055 --> 00:03:08,335
Speaker 2: got back anyway.

46
00:03:08,015 --> 00:03:10,415
Speaker 3: But that's that's exactly that's exactly what it was. It

47
00:03:10,455 --> 00:03:12,015
Speaker 3: was the fact that you didn't have a phone. It

48
00:03:12,015 --> 00:03:13,575
Speaker 3: didn't work like that. You had to do it with

49
00:03:13,695 --> 00:03:14,095
Speaker 3: a map.

50
00:03:14,375 --> 00:03:15,655
Speaker 4: A map. There you go.

51
00:03:16,495 --> 00:03:19,975
Speaker 2: People will wonder what that is these days exactly.

52
00:03:21,455 --> 00:03:23,535
Speaker 4: Right away. I still use maps.

53
00:03:23,655 --> 00:03:27,095
Speaker 3: I still use maps because they're a way Yeah, visual,

54
00:03:27,695 --> 00:03:28,455
Speaker 3: very visual, No.

55
00:03:29,135 --> 00:03:32,615
Speaker 2: I get it. But with a turn every two hundred

56
00:03:32,695 --> 00:03:39,895
Speaker 2: meters and punch dark no lighting yet it's just incredible. Anyways,

57
00:03:39,895 --> 00:03:42,215
Speaker 2: lots of fun, right, let's get amongst it. Hey, John,

58
00:03:42,255 --> 00:03:42,895
Speaker 2: good morning to.

59
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:48,895
Speaker 5: You, Good morning road, Good morning Petter. I've got consubstantial

60
00:03:49,015 --> 00:03:52,575
Speaker 5: stands of prosers around my house that they form my

61
00:03:52,655 --> 00:03:56,295
Speaker 5: heads around my deck and understands, and they're being invaded

62
00:03:56,335 --> 00:03:59,455
Speaker 5: by mulumbia. How do I get rid of the mulb

63
00:03:59,775 --> 00:04:00,415
Speaker 5: without damage?

64
00:04:03,095 --> 00:04:05,735
Speaker 3: I have a similar sort of thing at home, and

65
00:04:05,775 --> 00:04:08,495
Speaker 3: what I do is I go to the basis of

66
00:04:08,655 --> 00:04:11,135
Speaker 3: this moveling back here. It's that that moveling back here

67
00:04:11,135 --> 00:04:14,615
Speaker 3: that you might not like in your hedge. Uh and

68
00:04:14,655 --> 00:04:16,895
Speaker 3: the same with Julie. So you have to go down

69
00:04:16,935 --> 00:04:19,575
Speaker 3: to the base of where that mulinbachia starts.

70
00:04:19,855 --> 00:04:20,495
Speaker 4: Can you do that?

71
00:04:21,735 --> 00:04:21,935
Speaker 5: Not?

72
00:04:21,975 --> 00:04:22,255
Speaker 6: Really?

73
00:04:22,335 --> 00:04:23,015
Speaker 5: Not composit?

74
00:04:23,415 --> 00:04:25,495
Speaker 4: Des two dens?

75
00:04:25,575 --> 00:04:29,135
Speaker 3: You sure because I I can do it.

76
00:04:29,895 --> 00:04:30,335
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.

77
00:04:32,055 --> 00:04:32,735
Speaker 4: I can get there.

78
00:04:32,775 --> 00:04:35,095
Speaker 3: I can do it and go as deep as I

79
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:37,295
Speaker 3: and then what I do is I cut it off.

80
00:04:37,575 --> 00:04:39,695
Speaker 3: And then I have a little paint brush, and what

81
00:04:39,775 --> 00:04:42,215
Speaker 3: I do is I use Hitman and I chuck the

82
00:04:42,335 --> 00:04:46,015
Speaker 3: Hitman on a brush and literally get the bottom part

83
00:04:46,095 --> 00:04:48,775
Speaker 3: of where I cut it off. And that basically can

84
00:04:49,295 --> 00:04:53,655
Speaker 3: that basically stops that thing from growing up again. You

85
00:04:53,655 --> 00:04:57,335
Speaker 3: can use any fertilizer or any fertilis, any weat killers

86
00:04:57,335 --> 00:04:57,735
Speaker 3: you like.

87
00:04:58,095 --> 00:04:58,655
Speaker 4: When you do.

88
00:04:58,655 --> 00:05:04,215
Speaker 3: It, it doesn't matter, you know, whatever you've got, But

89
00:05:04,255 --> 00:05:05,455
Speaker 3: that's the way to go about it.

90
00:05:05,495 --> 00:05:07,935
Speaker 4: Then it works well because you have to do it twice.

91
00:05:08,655 --> 00:05:11,295
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no discriminate spry that'll kill the bottle.

92
00:05:11,335 --> 00:05:14,775
Speaker 4: Back about the control, No, I don't think so. I wouldn't,

93
00:05:14,855 --> 00:05:17,255
Speaker 4: dare you know what I mean?

94
00:05:18,135 --> 00:05:20,335
Speaker 3: I would ask the same question and I would go. Now,

95
00:05:20,575 --> 00:05:23,175
Speaker 3: if I can get down to the bottom of where

96
00:05:23,175 --> 00:05:25,535
Speaker 3: that moli mechia comes up, I can do it. And

97
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:26,335
Speaker 3: you can do it.

98
00:05:27,135 --> 00:05:32,495
Speaker 2: Yeah, just target target the roots. John, Yeah, all all right,

99
00:05:32,575 --> 00:05:36,095
Speaker 2: you take care and Dave a very good morning to you.

100
00:05:37,335 --> 00:05:42,415
Speaker 7: Good morning. Oh my godness is full of melli bugs.

101
00:05:42,815 --> 00:05:45,935
Speaker 7: At the moment we hit the white flies before and

102
00:05:45,975 --> 00:05:48,695
Speaker 7: I mixed up some kneem oil and dishwashing liquid and

103
00:05:48,695 --> 00:05:51,215
Speaker 7: got rid of them with the Melli bugs.

104
00:05:54,255 --> 00:05:58,375
Speaker 3: Any answers for the six thing, Well, there are all

105
00:05:58,415 --> 00:06:00,895
Speaker 3: sorts of oils that you can use with Meai bugs,

106
00:06:00,935 --> 00:06:03,295
Speaker 3: to be quite honest. And but the point is that,

107
00:06:03,455 --> 00:06:06,095
Speaker 3: and it could be it could be your your knee oil,

108
00:06:06,775 --> 00:06:09,575
Speaker 3: your other oils. But the point is you have to

109
00:06:09,575 --> 00:06:14,215
Speaker 3: do it every ten days. And the reason for that

110
00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:17,015
Speaker 3: is that once you've killed those little buggers that are

111
00:06:17,055 --> 00:06:22,015
Speaker 3: there the name sorry, the Meadia bugs, then they will

112
00:06:22,095 --> 00:06:25,935
Speaker 3: lay eggs which will become adults or which will become

113
00:06:26,375 --> 00:06:29,055
Speaker 3: cheers again or suckers if you like, and you need

114
00:06:29,095 --> 00:06:32,455
Speaker 3: to get them as well. They you won't often kill

115
00:06:32,535 --> 00:06:35,895
Speaker 3: the actual eggs, so it's a matter of doing it

116
00:06:36,135 --> 00:06:39,615
Speaker 3: time after time after time, three times, say ten days apart.

117
00:06:40,815 --> 00:06:45,295
Speaker 7: Ah, yeah, okay, thanks. So the other problems God is

118
00:06:45,735 --> 00:06:48,175
Speaker 7: around the back of our house. It's very shaded on

119
00:06:48,215 --> 00:06:50,895
Speaker 7: the south side. We've got to row trees and they're

120
00:06:50,935 --> 00:06:53,895
Speaker 7: all full of boar and on it. I'd like to

121
00:06:53,895 --> 00:06:56,095
Speaker 7: put in some fruit trees along there, but do you

122
00:06:56,135 --> 00:06:58,095
Speaker 7: think it'd be worth it? Along the cell side where

123
00:06:58,095 --> 00:07:00,695
Speaker 7: it doesn't get much sun, and i'd probably have to

124
00:07:00,735 --> 00:07:03,855
Speaker 7: sterilize the soil or something like that to killer bugs

125
00:07:03,855 --> 00:07:05,615
Speaker 7: in it. You might think it is.

126
00:07:05,695 --> 00:07:09,695
Speaker 3: Worth well, the shade, I think is more the more

127
00:07:09,735 --> 00:07:12,135
Speaker 3: important thing. What are you thinking of planting? What sort

128
00:07:12,135 --> 00:07:12,815
Speaker 3: of fruit trees?

129
00:07:14,655 --> 00:07:17,655
Speaker 7: Well, just a mixture of all sorts of really, I'd

130
00:07:17,655 --> 00:07:22,735
Speaker 7: love an avocado tree, and you know, like a nictorine

131
00:07:22,815 --> 00:07:24,975
Speaker 7: and a few other palm tree.

132
00:07:25,015 --> 00:07:28,815
Speaker 3: Probably an avocado, you remember, that becomes quite a tree

133
00:07:28,855 --> 00:07:31,575
Speaker 3: that might escape the darkness if you like, when it

134
00:07:31,615 --> 00:07:34,775
Speaker 3: gets a bit older, you know what I mean, going up, Yeah,

135
00:07:35,495 --> 00:07:37,695
Speaker 3: and that it'll be lighter and that should not be

136
00:07:37,775 --> 00:07:40,335
Speaker 3: a problem.

137
00:07:40,455 --> 00:07:42,615
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've got a fig tree down the other side

138
00:07:42,615 --> 00:07:45,815
Speaker 7: of Well, it's it's climbing for the sun all the time.

139
00:07:45,895 --> 00:07:49,135
Speaker 7: So it's I struggle to get up to the top branches.

140
00:07:49,535 --> 00:07:51,255
Speaker 7: You know, it's trying to get into the sun. So

141
00:07:52,095 --> 00:07:54,415
Speaker 7: I probably have the same problem around there, I suppose,

142
00:07:54,415 --> 00:07:57,655
Speaker 7: if I think we would reach the sky.

143
00:07:57,815 --> 00:08:02,055
Speaker 3: But what causes the what causes the sun to be intercepted.

144
00:08:03,055 --> 00:08:07,855
Speaker 7: The house of the house, little tiny section sort of ye,

145
00:08:08,935 --> 00:08:09,815
Speaker 7: as much as you can.

146
00:08:10,735 --> 00:08:12,375
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was the fig tree, but it

147
00:08:12,455 --> 00:08:13,975
Speaker 3: isn't Sorry.

148
00:08:13,775 --> 00:08:18,415
Speaker 7: Yeah, do you think it is worth planning it in

149
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:21,375
Speaker 7: the shade like we're not going to get it? Is

150
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:22,095
Speaker 7: it worth the trouble?

151
00:08:22,615 --> 00:08:24,615
Speaker 4: You don't have any sun at all there.

152
00:08:25,815 --> 00:08:27,415
Speaker 7: It gets a little bit in the morning, a little

153
00:08:27,415 --> 00:08:28,815
Speaker 7: bit in the afternoon sort of thing.

154
00:08:29,535 --> 00:08:33,655
Speaker 3: Have a try with one tree, have a look and

155
00:08:33,695 --> 00:08:35,095
Speaker 3: it could be if you could, you could do an

156
00:08:35,095 --> 00:08:38,295
Speaker 3: apple or citrus or whatever, and you might find that

157
00:08:38,455 --> 00:08:41,415
Speaker 3: it's just enough or just not enough. You'll work it

158
00:08:41,455 --> 00:08:43,015
Speaker 3: out with one tree, I suppose.

159
00:08:43,975 --> 00:08:46,815
Speaker 7: Okay, what I need to have a go Dave and

160
00:08:47,215 --> 00:08:48,175
Speaker 7: see how you get on.

161
00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:51,935
Speaker 2: Harry, A very good morning to you.

162
00:08:54,255 --> 00:08:58,495
Speaker 8: Just just a question about bones beetle. We've had a

163
00:08:58,615 --> 00:09:05,255
Speaker 8: huge infestations here in North Canterbury this year. You well, well,

164
00:09:05,255 --> 00:09:09,015
Speaker 8: we're worst I've seen them years and the old destroyer

165
00:09:09,095 --> 00:09:13,055
Speaker 8: tree overnight, just the young trees of the problem. Now.

166
00:09:13,135 --> 00:09:16,575
Speaker 8: I started out in the first year with Maverick, which

167
00:09:16,695 --> 00:09:21,975
Speaker 8: was very very effective on the beetle, but there was

168
00:09:22,015 --> 00:09:25,055
Speaker 8: a slight problem that killed some of the trees as well.

169
00:09:25,095 --> 00:09:28,455
Speaker 8: And after I killed a few trees, I then read

170
00:09:28,535 --> 00:09:32,495
Speaker 8: the instructions and said it said don't use on new foliage,

171
00:09:33,015 --> 00:09:36,535
Speaker 8: which is exactly what you're trying to protect. So what

172
00:09:36,615 --> 00:09:39,455
Speaker 8: I've been doing ever since was going out every night

173
00:09:40,215 --> 00:09:44,335
Speaker 8: just like a can of fly spray and just standing

174
00:09:44,375 --> 00:09:48,695
Speaker 8: back and letting the mist drift into the tree. And

175
00:09:48,735 --> 00:09:54,335
Speaker 8: that is very very effective. Just the mist, we'll knock

176
00:09:54,375 --> 00:09:58,415
Speaker 8: them down into or three minutes. The problem with that

177
00:09:58,615 --> 00:10:02,255
Speaker 8: is you've got to do it every night where with

178
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:07,535
Speaker 8: the Maverick systemic and last about ten days. But it's

179
00:10:07,575 --> 00:10:10,455
Speaker 8: also expensive, Like you know, I'd be using a can

180
00:10:10,455 --> 00:10:13,495
Speaker 8: of night and so over a couple of months. That

181
00:10:13,975 --> 00:10:20,775
Speaker 8: adds up. Now, the question was twofold. One is there

182
00:10:20,775 --> 00:10:23,975
Speaker 8: an effective systemic spray that won't harm the foliage of

183
00:10:24,015 --> 00:10:27,935
Speaker 8: the trees? And two I was looking at trying to

184
00:10:27,935 --> 00:10:31,815
Speaker 8: get it in the larval stage around about February, and

185
00:10:31,895 --> 00:10:36,415
Speaker 8: I was thinking of putting some dazin on or whatever

186
00:10:36,495 --> 00:10:38,895
Speaker 8: the replacement that's going to be. Apparently that's going to

187
00:10:38,935 --> 00:10:43,655
Speaker 8: be off the market very soon. But the problem is

188
00:10:43,695 --> 00:10:45,655
Speaker 8: just how far away from the tree. Well I need

189
00:10:45,695 --> 00:10:47,695
Speaker 8: to put those granules I see, I don't know how

190
00:10:47,735 --> 00:10:51,855
Speaker 8: far they fly. They could be coming from a kilometer away.

191
00:10:52,415 --> 00:10:56,055
Speaker 8: I see no evidence of grass grub and the paddics,

192
00:10:57,175 --> 00:11:00,935
Speaker 8: you know, the patchy damage that they cause. I can't

193
00:11:01,015 --> 00:11:04,055
Speaker 8: see where they're coming from. It might be from close

194
00:11:04,135 --> 00:11:08,135
Speaker 8: to the tree, might be from a kilometer away. So

195
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:10,455
Speaker 8: I'm just not too sure where I would need to

196
00:11:10,775 --> 00:11:12,575
Speaker 8: actually put the granules.

197
00:11:14,015 --> 00:11:16,495
Speaker 3: Okay, Harry, I just want to make sure that we're

198
00:11:16,535 --> 00:11:21,295
Speaker 3: talking literally about bronze beetle. The small the small creatures

199
00:11:21,295 --> 00:11:24,455
Speaker 3: that are brownish in color. They're about half the size

200
00:11:24,495 --> 00:11:27,375
Speaker 3: of of of you know, the one that you mentioned before,

201
00:11:27,215 --> 00:11:29,655
Speaker 3: the grass grub when it flies around.

202
00:11:30,335 --> 00:11:33,015
Speaker 8: Well, I believe that we've got to grass cub. We've

203
00:11:33,015 --> 00:11:38,015
Speaker 8: got the grass grub and the parina. Yeah, the smaller

204
00:11:38,335 --> 00:11:39,495
Speaker 8: the grass grub.

205
00:11:40,295 --> 00:11:44,775
Speaker 4: No, it's not it's not, no, it's not. No, it's not.

206
00:11:45,095 --> 00:11:46,375
Speaker 4: That bronze beetle is the thing.

207
00:11:46,415 --> 00:11:49,895
Speaker 3: That's why I said really not in in in North Kentbury,

208
00:11:50,255 --> 00:11:53,775
Speaker 3: you're talking about you're literally talking about grass grub beetles

209
00:11:53,775 --> 00:11:59,375
Speaker 3: that are doing it. Oh paint in the bum I think.

210
00:11:59,615 --> 00:12:03,335
Speaker 3: And do they eat the leaves of your trees.

211
00:12:03,055 --> 00:12:07,495
Speaker 8: And especially the tips? Yes, I mean a tree might

212
00:12:07,535 --> 00:12:09,975
Speaker 8: get established, but a year after year they're getting the

213
00:12:10,015 --> 00:12:15,455
Speaker 8: tips eating out. They just don't go anywhere. So it's yeah,

214
00:12:16,095 --> 00:12:24,295
Speaker 8: the newer growth once the tree gets established, they don't

215
00:12:24,335 --> 00:12:26,855
Speaker 8: seem to attack it the same way the leaves get

216
00:12:26,895 --> 00:12:29,855
Speaker 8: a bit too tough for them or not. I don't know,

217
00:12:30,015 --> 00:12:32,575
Speaker 8: but you know, if I can get a tree past

218
00:12:32,615 --> 00:12:35,975
Speaker 8: the three meter stage or four meter stage, it's generally

219
00:12:35,975 --> 00:12:38,695
Speaker 8: not too bad. They'll get some on it. But it's

220
00:12:38,775 --> 00:12:44,775
Speaker 8: just the newer trees with the pressure softer foliage that

221
00:12:44,855 --> 00:12:47,615
Speaker 8: they really do the damage. And if they're doing after

222
00:12:47,775 --> 00:12:50,455
Speaker 8: year the tree.

223
00:12:49,895 --> 00:12:52,215
Speaker 3: You are aware that, for instance, yates have got a

224
00:12:52,255 --> 00:12:56,135
Speaker 3: thing called grub and purihna control that.

225
00:12:57,935 --> 00:12:59,215
Speaker 4: Yeah, so is that.

226
00:12:59,295 --> 00:13:01,575
Speaker 8: For spraying onto the foliage.

227
00:13:01,055 --> 00:13:04,615
Speaker 3: Or I think so yes? And on the lawns and things.

228
00:13:04,575 --> 00:13:06,775
Speaker 3: So wherever they come out if you like.

229
00:13:07,095 --> 00:13:09,935
Speaker 8: And I don't know where they're coming out from because

230
00:13:09,935 --> 00:13:14,975
Speaker 8: we're on a life style block, and you know, I mean,

231
00:13:14,975 --> 00:13:17,855
Speaker 8: I just don't know what I doing the whole block

232
00:13:17,975 --> 00:13:19,815
Speaker 8: or just a few meters from the tree.

233
00:13:20,335 --> 00:13:22,215
Speaker 3: I reckon they come out of your soil though they

234
00:13:22,255 --> 00:13:26,135
Speaker 3: won't go that far. Right, Yeah, So so here comes

235
00:13:26,175 --> 00:13:30,255
Speaker 3: to here comes the name. It's chloron a trannili prol,

236
00:13:30,575 --> 00:13:35,295
Speaker 3: which is a treatment for for grass grabs.

237
00:13:35,215 --> 00:13:38,335
Speaker 8: Especially retail.

238
00:13:39,015 --> 00:13:41,735
Speaker 4: Yeah, OK, chlor prol.

239
00:13:42,335 --> 00:13:44,215
Speaker 8: There you go.

240
00:13:43,255 --> 00:13:47,695
Speaker 3: It's it's an awfully long Shall I spell it out

241
00:13:47,735 --> 00:13:48,615
Speaker 3: to you, okay?

242
00:13:48,935 --> 00:13:54,495
Speaker 4: C h L O r A N t r A

243
00:13:54,975 --> 00:14:00,415
Speaker 4: n I l I p r O l E.

244
00:14:01,655 --> 00:14:05,655
Speaker 8: Okay. So that's it doesn't come under a brand name

245
00:14:05,695 --> 00:14:05,975
Speaker 8: at all.

246
00:14:06,615 --> 00:14:08,735
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know, to be quite honest. That's

247
00:14:08,775 --> 00:14:11,775
Speaker 3: an active ingredient that you get for your creature. Look,

248
00:14:11,815 --> 00:14:14,095
Speaker 3: these things come of course out of the soil, and

249
00:14:14,135 --> 00:14:16,855
Speaker 3: they don't fly that well. They can fly, but if

250
00:14:16,895 --> 00:14:19,015
Speaker 3: they're going to your place, they think, oh, this is

251
00:14:19,055 --> 00:14:20,055
Speaker 3: a nice place to eat.

252
00:14:20,255 --> 00:14:21,055
Speaker 4: I know that guy.

253
00:14:21,255 --> 00:14:24,215
Speaker 3: He's got a great great lots of plants there. Ever

254
00:14:24,295 --> 00:14:26,655
Speaker 3: go and this will stop it in there if you

255
00:14:26,735 --> 00:14:28,335
Speaker 3: spreading him in the spring early summer.

256
00:14:28,455 --> 00:14:31,375
Speaker 2: Right now, boom, all the very best with their hairy

257
00:14:31,455 --> 00:14:33,575
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound terrible.

258
00:14:34,055 --> 00:14:37,095
Speaker 4: No it's not. It's a it's a robbing thing. Yeah, no,

259
00:14:37,175 --> 00:14:38,935
Speaker 4: it's a South Island thing usually.

260
00:14:39,335 --> 00:14:42,575
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, we might talk about the North Island thing.

261
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,615
Speaker 2: But later on. Hey Brian, good morning to you.

262
00:14:45,455 --> 00:14:49,175
Speaker 9: Yeah, good morning gentlemen. Hey road, I've got a guarding business.

263
00:14:49,615 --> 00:14:52,335
Speaker 9: I've got a client that's got a couple of cutresses

264
00:14:52,375 --> 00:14:55,735
Speaker 9: that are sort of needing the wanting trim back. But

265
00:14:56,655 --> 00:14:59,495
Speaker 9: if my anchorrect that the lemonary borer are flying at

266
00:14:59,495 --> 00:15:02,855
Speaker 9: the moment and looking for places to lay their eggs,

267
00:15:04,615 --> 00:15:07,735
Speaker 9: and it's it's going to be needed to be done

268
00:15:07,735 --> 00:15:09,495
Speaker 9: with the hits from it. I obviously thought, you know, if

269
00:15:09,535 --> 00:15:11,175
Speaker 9: you were just doing a few limbs, you could, you

270
00:15:11,175 --> 00:15:13,895
Speaker 9: could paint it with the paste. But there's quite a

271
00:15:13,895 --> 00:15:18,215
Speaker 9: bit any suggestions on the head actually protect us citrus.

272
00:15:18,495 --> 00:15:23,495
Speaker 4: Then yeah, do it do it after after after autumn.

273
00:15:24,495 --> 00:15:26,295
Speaker 9: Well that's what I thought too, But the client was

274
00:15:26,335 --> 00:15:30,095
Speaker 9: wanting it done, and so yeah, okay, so there's nothing

275
00:15:30,135 --> 00:15:32,815
Speaker 9: I can actually put on it other than.

276
00:15:33,175 --> 00:15:36,455
Speaker 3: Maybe that you're talking about, you know, putting on the cut,

277
00:15:36,615 --> 00:15:38,055
Speaker 3: you know, putting some stuff on the cut.

278
00:15:38,255 --> 00:15:42,215
Speaker 9: Yeah, that might work, yeah, because it's yeah, but because

279
00:15:42,255 --> 00:15:44,175
Speaker 9: I'm using a hitch. Like I said, there's quite a

280
00:15:44,175 --> 00:15:48,895
Speaker 9: bit of you know, yes, you couldn't paint even little

281
00:15:48,935 --> 00:15:49,935
Speaker 9: steamed you know what I mean.

282
00:15:50,575 --> 00:15:52,695
Speaker 3: You need all the kids have to have a little

283
00:15:52,735 --> 00:15:55,175
Speaker 3: paint brush with their stuff. Yeah, you know what I mean.

284
00:15:56,175 --> 00:15:59,655
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't No, I wouldn't do that. No, I

285
00:15:59,695 --> 00:16:02,055
Speaker 4: would not. I would not do that until it's well

286
00:16:02,095 --> 00:16:04,455
Speaker 4: after March April.

287
00:16:04,615 --> 00:16:07,655
Speaker 3: Yeah, good time to do with that honestly, that is

288
00:16:08,015 --> 00:16:10,335
Speaker 3: the simplest and cheapest way to do it is to

289
00:16:10,415 --> 00:16:12,575
Speaker 3: extrap prevent it from happening like that.

290
00:16:13,015 --> 00:16:17,815
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, like I said, Yeah, no problem, thank oh

291
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:18,695
Speaker 9: very much, gentlemen.

292
00:16:19,055 --> 00:16:21,975
Speaker 2: Go well, bless you, Brian, thank you very much. Hey,

293
00:16:21,975 --> 00:16:25,255
Speaker 2: a couple of quick ticks for it. Someone has bumblebees

294
00:16:25,535 --> 00:16:28,815
Speaker 2: entering under the house. They suspect they might have a hive.

295
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:33,375
Speaker 2: Should they arrange for piss control or will it pass

296
00:16:33,535 --> 00:16:34,015
Speaker 2: in winter?

297
00:16:34,615 --> 00:16:37,735
Speaker 3: It will pass in winter and they will be that

298
00:16:37,735 --> 00:16:41,255
Speaker 3: there's no problem at all at all. In fact, we're

299
00:16:41,295 --> 00:16:43,895
Speaker 3: doing it at the school in Techa Pole for instance.

300
00:16:43,895 --> 00:16:46,215
Speaker 3: We're we're having the same sort of thing. We're actually

301
00:16:46,215 --> 00:16:49,455
Speaker 3: giving them little holes in in in a bend in

302
00:16:49,495 --> 00:16:52,695
Speaker 3: the bank bank of a you know, up and down place. Yes,

303
00:16:53,095 --> 00:16:55,055
Speaker 3: and they love to live there and they live there

304
00:16:55,175 --> 00:16:57,775
Speaker 3: till maybe you know, later in summer, and that's it.

305
00:16:59,215 --> 00:16:59,415
Speaker 7: God.

306
00:16:59,695 --> 00:17:04,615
Speaker 2: I've seen these little bee huts bumblebee houses that you

307
00:17:04,655 --> 00:17:07,455
Speaker 2: can make and it's like little bits of bamboo all

308
00:17:07,535 --> 00:17:10,735
Speaker 2: stacked up so it's honeycomb effectively, or you know.

309
00:17:11,775 --> 00:17:15,015
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a different thing though, Ah yeah, but go on,

310
00:17:15,055 --> 00:17:19,255
Speaker 3: that's what that's what native native creative native bees and

311
00:17:19,295 --> 00:17:21,855
Speaker 3: things like that. But for bumblebees, you have these no

312
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,175
Speaker 3: wooden boxes which are pretty cool.

313
00:17:24,215 --> 00:17:24,415
Speaker 2: Right.

314
00:17:24,495 --> 00:17:26,735
Speaker 3: We use those two with a little hole in them

315
00:17:26,815 --> 00:17:28,335
Speaker 3: in the front, and they go in there.

316
00:17:28,735 --> 00:17:29,215
Speaker 4: The queen.

317
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:33,735
Speaker 3: Especially if you put down some old pools of mice

318
00:17:33,975 --> 00:17:36,895
Speaker 3: for some reason, they are retracted to that and they

319
00:17:36,935 --> 00:17:37,695
Speaker 3: go and live there.

320
00:17:37,775 --> 00:17:38,815
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable.

321
00:17:39,615 --> 00:17:43,935
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, the smell of mice pool seems to do

322
00:17:43,975 --> 00:17:44,415
Speaker 3: it for them.

323
00:17:44,455 --> 00:17:48,655
Speaker 2: Okay, And another quick text and then we'll take a break.

324
00:17:49,215 --> 00:17:53,295
Speaker 2: Someone wants to take up weed, mat and stones. You

325
00:17:53,375 --> 00:17:56,575
Speaker 2: know what the soil looks like after that. It's lifeless

326
00:17:56,615 --> 00:17:58,895
Speaker 2: and kind of slightly shiny and all the rest of it.

327
00:17:59,575 --> 00:18:03,015
Speaker 2: So what would you do to rehabilitate that area.

328
00:18:05,055 --> 00:18:07,295
Speaker 3: I wouldn't use the weed these days, I would just

329
00:18:07,335 --> 00:18:07,855
Speaker 3: choose no.

330
00:18:08,015 --> 00:18:10,015
Speaker 2: I know, that's probably why they're taking it up.

331
00:18:11,015 --> 00:18:13,575
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I would in that case, just get

332
00:18:13,655 --> 00:18:15,095
Speaker 3: rid of that as much as you can.

333
00:18:15,455 --> 00:18:16,735
Speaker 4: But once you've taken it up.

334
00:18:16,735 --> 00:18:19,375
Speaker 2: You know how it looks. You know, the soil is

335
00:18:19,455 --> 00:18:22,375
Speaker 2: kind of flat and squishy and slightly shiny.

336
00:18:22,815 --> 00:18:25,375
Speaker 4: What would take material or material?

337
00:18:25,495 --> 00:18:28,535
Speaker 3: That's it, and you actually start to get your npka's right.

338
00:18:29,095 --> 00:18:32,095
Speaker 3: And then you'll find that after that you can grow easily.

339
00:18:33,455 --> 00:18:36,015
Speaker 2: Okay, brilliant. Right, we're going to take a short break.

340
00:18:36,015 --> 00:18:38,615
Speaker 2: We'll be back with Mark. We's probably got time for

341
00:18:38,655 --> 00:18:41,615
Speaker 2: a couple more calls as well. The number is eight

342
00:18:41,735 --> 00:18:52,175
Speaker 2: hundred eighty ten eighty New Soks. It'd be we are

343
00:18:52,415 --> 00:18:55,255
Speaker 2: about nine minutes away from New Sport and with the

344
00:18:55,255 --> 00:18:56,775
Speaker 2: top of the are at nine o'clock. But right now

345
00:18:56,775 --> 00:19:01,375
Speaker 2: we're talking to film. Good morning, get a fu morning.

346
00:19:01,455 --> 00:19:02,335
Speaker 10: How are you boys?

347
00:19:02,495 --> 00:19:03,295
Speaker 4: We're good, thank you.

348
00:19:03,295 --> 00:19:08,055
Speaker 10: Well, now I'm not sure exactly what these trees are,

349
00:19:08,095 --> 00:19:10,855
Speaker 10: but I've got some trees and I've been told an

350
00:19:10,895 --> 00:19:13,415
Speaker 10: olive type tree. They have a little white flower that

351
00:19:13,535 --> 00:19:16,455
Speaker 10: comes out only lasts for about three weeks. It's beautiful.

352
00:19:16,495 --> 00:19:19,495
Speaker 10: They're a little silvery underside leaf and green on top.

353
00:19:20,175 --> 00:19:23,495
Speaker 10: Now I was wanting to I let them grow into

354
00:19:23,535 --> 00:19:26,695
Speaker 10: big trees. So I want to get them because I

355
00:19:26,695 --> 00:19:29,975
Speaker 10: don't think they naturally are meant to be like that's

356
00:19:29,935 --> 00:19:31,815
Speaker 10: supposed to keep them trimmed up. So I want to

357
00:19:31,815 --> 00:19:35,255
Speaker 10: get them reshaped, topped and thinned up in that. And

358
00:19:35,295 --> 00:19:37,535
Speaker 10: I was just wondering what the best time would be

359
00:19:37,615 --> 00:19:39,335
Speaker 10: to do that, to get someone under do it.

360
00:19:42,295 --> 00:19:43,895
Speaker 4: So they had flowered already.

361
00:19:45,095 --> 00:19:49,095
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, they've flowered already. They flowered about they flower

362
00:19:49,175 --> 00:19:51,615
Speaker 10: in the sort of spring.

363
00:19:51,375 --> 00:19:53,655
Speaker 9: For about three about three weeks.

364
00:19:53,655 --> 00:19:55,495
Speaker 10: They flower in the spring, and then they don't seem

365
00:19:55,535 --> 00:19:58,055
Speaker 10: to flower again. A little beautiful, little white flower. And

366
00:19:58,495 --> 00:20:01,575
Speaker 10: someone told me that they're an olive type tree.

367
00:20:03,495 --> 00:20:07,935
Speaker 4: Yeah, most trees to have green leaves, I noticed.

368
00:20:10,575 --> 00:20:15,975
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, until here you go. What I would

369
00:20:15,975 --> 00:20:18,695
Speaker 3: do is I would take I start shaping it now.

370
00:20:18,975 --> 00:20:20,935
Speaker 3: And the reason is you will still have lots of

371
00:20:20,975 --> 00:20:24,575
Speaker 3: months for the tree to refurbish exactly what you've shaped out.

372
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:27,255
Speaker 3: In other words, this is the time when a tree

373
00:20:27,295 --> 00:20:32,255
Speaker 3: can literally make itself, you know, restore what you've taken

374
00:20:32,295 --> 00:20:33,615
Speaker 3: out and taken off.

375
00:20:33,855 --> 00:20:37,775
Speaker 4: So this is a good time to do it anyway, okay.

376
00:20:37,455 --> 00:20:40,495
Speaker 10: And would that be like they've ground taller than my health,

377
00:20:40,615 --> 00:20:43,215
Speaker 10: you see. So I wanted to top them, right, I

378
00:20:43,255 --> 00:20:45,495
Speaker 10: wanted to top them on. But I've been lazy, or

379
00:20:45,495 --> 00:20:47,895
Speaker 10: I've been lazy. I'm lazy on my mats. So I

380
00:20:47,895 --> 00:20:50,135
Speaker 10: wanted to top them as well and get them down under,

381
00:20:50,415 --> 00:20:52,415
Speaker 10: down under the house so they're not getting into the

382
00:20:52,415 --> 00:20:54,095
Speaker 10: spelting the leaves in it fall off.

383
00:20:55,495 --> 00:20:58,135
Speaker 3: You need a blinking and blinking good letter, or you

384
00:20:58,215 --> 00:21:00,415
Speaker 3: need a very good iborist who can do it for

385
00:21:00,455 --> 00:21:02,175
Speaker 3: you and to be to be finalist.

386
00:21:02,215 --> 00:21:03,015
Speaker 4: That's my guess.

387
00:21:03,255 --> 00:21:07,615
Speaker 3: I think iborists, good ieborists are worth their weight in gold.

388
00:21:08,975 --> 00:21:13,335
Speaker 2: Go In this instance, Althow saying that I did been

389
00:21:13,415 --> 00:21:15,495
Speaker 2: driving around. No, No, I did have been driving around today.

390
00:21:15,615 --> 00:21:18,055
Speaker 2: Ended up at B and Q. Right, the big hardware

391
00:21:18,055 --> 00:21:23,095
Speaker 2: stoor walked in the founder set of Viscars loppers that

392
00:21:23,175 --> 00:21:27,015
Speaker 2: I've never seen in my life before. Couldn't resist, so

393
00:21:27,055 --> 00:21:32,255
Speaker 2: I bought myself. I just got to find the trader with.

402
00:22:01,375 --> 00:22:01,895
Speaker 2: Mark how.

403
00:22:03,255 --> 00:22:07,055
Speaker 6: Oh, good morning and Peter. I've I've heard you speak

404
00:22:07,095 --> 00:22:10,575
Speaker 6: of success in the past, and it's not one hundred

405
00:22:10,655 --> 00:22:16,735
Speaker 6: percent success successful, But I am responsible for a mandarin

406
00:22:16,815 --> 00:22:19,095
Speaker 6: tree and at the end of the flowering, at the

407
00:22:19,175 --> 00:22:24,215
Speaker 6: end of October, I started spraying success fortnightly for guabomov.

408
00:22:25,295 --> 00:22:28,255
Speaker 6: Now how long do I continue the spraying.

409
00:22:28,375 --> 00:22:32,015
Speaker 3: Every ten ten days to two two weeks? Three weeks maybe?

410
00:22:32,095 --> 00:22:34,615
Speaker 3: And it's because of the young ones coming out on

411
00:22:34,655 --> 00:22:36,895
Speaker 3: a regular basis.

412
00:22:36,695 --> 00:22:40,415
Speaker 6: Yees, So only for three or four weeks?

413
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:43,215
Speaker 3: No, no, and you do it at least three times

414
00:22:43,295 --> 00:22:44,335
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks apart.

415
00:22:45,255 --> 00:22:47,935
Speaker 6: Oh, all right, because I've been going right through till

416
00:22:47,975 --> 00:22:48,855
Speaker 6: about February.

417
00:22:48,935 --> 00:22:52,175
Speaker 3: You see, well you can you can do that sometimes

418
00:22:52,175 --> 00:22:57,655
Speaker 3: that will work like that, Yeah, absolutely, Okay, So it's

419
00:22:57,695 --> 00:23:00,775
Speaker 3: a matter of repetition, repetition years.

420
00:23:00,815 --> 00:23:04,455
Speaker 6: I do fortnightly and I've done it for three years,

421
00:23:04,615 --> 00:23:06,855
Speaker 6: but I've continued on till about worry.

422
00:23:07,575 --> 00:23:11,535

423
00:23:11,575 --> 00:23:14,895
Speaker 3: on fruit, Okay, so that's when that's when the big
