1
00:00:06,815 --> 00:00:10,655
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp

2
00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:15,095
Speaker 1: from News Talks. A't be gardening with summer at steel

3
00:00:15,135 --> 00:00:16,575
Speaker 1: Shaft where it's fall about the.

4
00:00:16,535 --> 00:00:20,815
Speaker 2: Accessories yours A big good morning, rood.

5
00:00:21,095 --> 00:00:24,615
Speaker 3: A very good morning to you doctor and Peter, and

6
00:00:24,655 --> 00:00:26,695
Speaker 3: to you. You did leave you a bit long. I

7
00:00:26,775 --> 00:00:28,895
Speaker 3: might I have to go bird bending, man, you better

8
00:00:28,935 --> 00:00:29,335
Speaker 3: hurry up.

9
00:00:29,695 --> 00:00:32,055
Speaker 2: Let's get a move on there. Let's not muck around.

10
00:00:32,055 --> 00:00:34,175
Speaker 2: If you're what are your bird bending today? Do you

11
00:00:34,175 --> 00:00:36,055
Speaker 2: have as you work with variety?

12
00:00:36,455 --> 00:00:39,215
Speaker 3: Yes, all sorts, but we're doing a course in how birds,

13
00:00:39,655 --> 00:00:42,095
Speaker 3: how birds mold their wing feathers.

14
00:00:43,415 --> 00:00:45,815
Speaker 4: Ah, So there's all.

15
00:00:45,695 --> 00:00:48,655
Speaker 3: These creatures have got different systems for us if we're

16
00:00:48,655 --> 00:00:51,695
Speaker 3: doing their mold. And for instance, I love that story

17
00:00:51,735 --> 00:00:54,575
Speaker 3: the silver eyed firs. They have are only in the

18
00:00:54,615 --> 00:00:57,935
Speaker 3: nest for ten maybe ten days eleven days, and then

19
00:00:57,935 --> 00:01:00,255
Speaker 3: they have to fly out, so they give themselves some

20
00:01:00,295 --> 00:01:03,815
Speaker 3: really crappy wings so that they can get out. And

21
00:01:03,855 --> 00:01:06,935
Speaker 3: then three two or three months after they fly they're

22
00:01:06,935 --> 00:01:10,535
Speaker 3: actually going to put proper wings on proper featherst so

23
00:01:10,575 --> 00:01:13,255
Speaker 3: you can actually tell the difference in quality and their

24
00:01:13,255 --> 00:01:16,215
Speaker 3: color and everything off those particulars. So you can tell

25
00:01:16,255 --> 00:01:18,375
Speaker 3: exactly how old they are, how good it was.

26
00:01:18,415 --> 00:01:21,175
Speaker 2: Then that was interesting too because when we were at Wingspan,

27
00:01:21,655 --> 00:01:26,215
Speaker 2: Inka was talking about the falcon the carrera that they

28
00:01:26,215 --> 00:01:29,575
Speaker 2: have there and she said, if you notice, he is

29
00:01:29,695 --> 00:01:32,815
Speaker 2: molting at the moment, So those feathers are deffront and

30
00:01:32,855 --> 00:01:34,495
Speaker 2: there will be a period of time where they don't

31
00:01:34,535 --> 00:01:36,855
Speaker 2: fly and hunt as much as they're waiting for the

32
00:01:36,895 --> 00:01:40,255
Speaker 2: new feathers to fully develop. So yeah, fascinating.

33
00:01:40,695 --> 00:01:43,255
Speaker 5: So I asked one of the guys about this, and

34
00:01:43,295 --> 00:01:45,655
Speaker 5: I said, why would they only have some feathers for

35
00:01:45,695 --> 00:01:49,575
Speaker 5: maybe a couple of months And the answer was, we

36
00:01:49,615 --> 00:01:53,215
Speaker 5: don't know, but imagine because these things originally came from

37
00:01:53,255 --> 00:01:56,975
Speaker 5: areas with snakes, for sure, and if you are a

38
00:01:57,015 --> 00:01:59,375
Speaker 5: good prey for a snake, you want to get out.

39
00:01:59,215 --> 00:02:03,295
Speaker 4: Of the nest you can before you get done. And

40
00:02:03,335 --> 00:02:05,775
Speaker 4: I thought, it must is such a cool story and

41
00:02:05,815 --> 00:02:08,175
Speaker 4: you're just wants to hear it on new Storgs. That'd

42
00:02:08,255 --> 00:02:08,895
Speaker 4: be brilliant.

43
00:02:08,895 --> 00:02:12,215
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like an exciting day. Let's talk to Lynn.

44
00:02:13,695 --> 00:02:15,375
Speaker 6: Good morning guys.

45
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:16,455
Speaker 7: A quick question.

46
00:02:16,655 --> 00:02:21,895
Speaker 6: My daughter has beehives and they are being inungdated with ants.

47
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:23,975
Speaker 6: So I went and spoke to the witness to kick

48
00:02:24,015 --> 00:02:28,055
Speaker 6: guys about their ants and their pants stuff. Is it

49
00:02:28,095 --> 00:02:32,375
Speaker 6: safe to you around the high House in the traps

50
00:02:32,455 --> 00:02:35,335
Speaker 6: only because they've got holds small enough for ants? Is

51
00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:37,895
Speaker 6: there any anything we should be aware of?

52
00:02:41,135 --> 00:02:44,655
Speaker 3: To be quite honest answer, your pants has contained a

53
00:02:44,735 --> 00:02:50,295
Speaker 3: number of different materials, including fiperenial and fiparenial. I think

54
00:02:50,655 --> 00:02:53,815
Speaker 3: I'm quite convinced is not something you want to lose

55
00:02:53,895 --> 00:02:54,455
Speaker 3: near bees.

56
00:02:56,215 --> 00:02:58,255
Speaker 6: That's all I wanted to hear. They told me it

57
00:02:58,295 --> 00:03:00,655
Speaker 6: was good because it was just a protein, but I

58
00:03:00,775 --> 00:03:01,495
Speaker 6: just wanted.

59
00:03:01,255 --> 00:03:02,015
Speaker 8: To check first.

60
00:03:02,135 --> 00:03:06,855
Speaker 3: So I advice that the the the it's just the protein.

61
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:09,575
Speaker 3: That is what's in debate to get those ends to

62
00:03:09,575 --> 00:03:11,655
Speaker 3: feed it. But what's in debate as well is a

63
00:03:11,695 --> 00:03:15,855
Speaker 3: material that actually will kill the queen, and that is fippritty,

64
00:03:16,775 --> 00:03:20,935
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And so so you're killing

65
00:03:21,055 --> 00:03:25,775
Speaker 3: that the ends if you like monac, if you like

66
00:03:26,575 --> 00:03:31,495
Speaker 3: with an insecticide, and a bee is an insect, yes.

67
00:03:32,655 --> 00:03:35,135
Speaker 6: Yes, And even if we clear the ends out of

68
00:03:35,175 --> 00:03:38,975
Speaker 6: the beehives, the messages back of the hive where the

69
00:03:39,015 --> 00:03:42,895
Speaker 6: bee hides are, so it's I would.

70
00:03:42,695 --> 00:03:46,175
Speaker 3: Be careful with that. Yeah, absolutely, thank you for asking.

71
00:03:46,415 --> 00:03:47,375
Speaker 4: We saved some beings.

72
00:03:48,615 --> 00:03:54,175
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, that's important. Appreciate it. Thank you very much, Lynn,

73
00:03:54,175 --> 00:03:57,335
Speaker 2: you take care and Berry greetings.

74
00:03:58,295 --> 00:04:03,935
Speaker 7: Yes, good morning guys. I've got the top like feeder

75
00:04:04,135 --> 00:04:09,175
Speaker 7: for the tooies. I'm using the top flight nectar. But

76
00:04:09,255 --> 00:04:12,655
Speaker 7: I have a big problem with bumblebees, especially the smaller

77
00:04:12,695 --> 00:04:16,335
Speaker 7: babies crawling in there, drowning and can't get back out.

78
00:04:17,135 --> 00:04:20,335
Speaker 7: I don't suppose there's anywhere I can stop those bumble

79
00:04:20,375 --> 00:04:22,615
Speaker 7: bees getting in there, because I don't want them being

80
00:04:22,735 --> 00:04:25,575
Speaker 7: killed because they go and you can't get out.

81
00:04:26,095 --> 00:04:26,415
Speaker 4: That's it.

82
00:04:26,735 --> 00:04:31,055
Speaker 7: I want to continue. I want to continue feeding the tooes.

83
00:04:32,175 --> 00:04:33,255
Speaker 4: Yes, I can imagine.

84
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:36,655
Speaker 3: Is there so the the entrance for the too is

85
00:04:37,655 --> 00:04:41,535
Speaker 3: if you like mouth, you know, it's it's it's it's yeah.

86
00:04:42,015 --> 00:04:44,535
Speaker 3: Is that small or is it large enough for that

87
00:04:44,695 --> 00:04:46,255
Speaker 3: be to get that bumble bee to get in?

88
00:04:47,335 --> 00:04:51,815
Speaker 7: It's small so the toys can get their beat through it.

89
00:04:52,095 --> 00:04:55,495
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but also their tongs yeah yeah yeah.

90
00:04:55,855 --> 00:04:59,375
Speaker 7: But the smaller bumble bee squeeze parts like I get

91
00:04:59,495 --> 00:05:03,695
Speaker 7: was from there as well. I don't worry about the wasp,

92
00:05:04,335 --> 00:05:08,255
Speaker 7: but I I like seeing the bumble beets go in

93
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:13,255
Speaker 7: the only the little juvenile bumble beets. The big ones

94
00:05:13,295 --> 00:05:16,735
Speaker 7: sit on top and poked there whatever they're doing down there,

95
00:05:16,815 --> 00:05:19,655
Speaker 7: trying to get they love the nectar. Yeah, but the

96
00:05:19,695 --> 00:05:23,815
Speaker 7: little ones can get in or quite harten. A bigger

97
00:05:23,855 --> 00:05:26,415
Speaker 7: bumble bee will get stuck in the hole where the

98
00:05:26,455 --> 00:05:26,855
Speaker 7: two he.

99
00:05:26,855 --> 00:05:29,975
Speaker 4: Puts us big down, yes, and can't get out.

100
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:31,615
Speaker 9: Yeah.

101
00:05:32,095 --> 00:05:33,455
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a gum spree them.

102
00:05:34,255 --> 00:05:36,415
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know what you do. That's interesting

103
00:05:36,415 --> 00:05:38,615
Speaker 3: because I've got it. I've got a wonderful Oh god,

104
00:05:38,615 --> 00:05:39,575
Speaker 3: I've got so many stories.

105
00:05:39,615 --> 00:05:39,775
Speaker 10: Now.

106
00:05:39,935 --> 00:05:43,895
Speaker 3: I've got a lovely bee container, bumblebee container in my

107
00:05:43,935 --> 00:05:44,735
Speaker 3: garage at the moment.

108
00:05:44,775 --> 00:05:46,335
Speaker 4: That's going to Tacapo next week.

109
00:05:46,575 --> 00:05:48,575
Speaker 3: I'm going to be doing a talk there for the

110
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:54,335
Speaker 3: Techabo community on the school's bee project, bumblebee project. And

111
00:05:54,455 --> 00:05:58,095
Speaker 3: I'm feeding those bees every every day with a couple

112
00:05:58,175 --> 00:06:01,455
Speaker 3: of droplets of nectar water or if you like, sugar water,

113
00:06:01,935 --> 00:06:05,575
Speaker 3: and also with some protein. And it's unbelievable how these

114
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:08,935
Speaker 3: things know exactly where you put the stuff. It is crazy.

115
00:06:09,055 --> 00:06:12,695
Speaker 3: It's beautiful. So I can imagine that the bumblebees can

116
00:06:12,775 --> 00:06:16,695
Speaker 3: smell or can literally know where you put your wonderful

117
00:06:16,695 --> 00:06:20,215
Speaker 3: sweet sweet treats if you like and go in. I

118
00:06:20,375 --> 00:06:22,335
Speaker 3: have the feeling, to be quite, honest, I do not

119
00:06:22,535 --> 00:06:26,215
Speaker 3: know that that top flight thing, to be quite. I

120
00:06:26,255 --> 00:06:28,775
Speaker 3: was going to buy one actually this week, but I

121
00:06:28,815 --> 00:06:31,415
Speaker 3: don't know how if there's any way you can make

122
00:06:31,455 --> 00:06:34,615
Speaker 3: that opening smaller so it just uses it can just

123
00:06:34,695 --> 00:06:37,615
Speaker 3: have the beak of the two and the tongue of

124
00:06:37,655 --> 00:06:39,695
Speaker 3: the two WI in there and nothing else.

125
00:06:40,495 --> 00:06:43,695
Speaker 7: It's pretty small now. If I made it any smaller,

126
00:06:45,095 --> 00:06:48,015
Speaker 7: the toes wouldn't be able to use it.

127
00:06:48,415 --> 00:06:53,975
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, bum okay, back to the drawing board.

128
00:06:53,975 --> 00:06:57,175
Speaker 3: I think about that now. Honestly, you know you think

129
00:06:57,175 --> 00:07:01,135
Speaker 3: this is a building show. It bloody well is building.

130
00:07:02,015 --> 00:07:02,175
Speaker 10: See.

131
00:07:02,175 --> 00:07:03,815
Speaker 2: I've got to build a few more l boxes. But

132
00:07:03,855 --> 00:07:04,655
Speaker 2: that's another story.

133
00:07:04,735 --> 00:07:05,015
Speaker 4: Berry.

134
00:07:05,015 --> 00:07:08,255
Speaker 2: Thanks very much for your call. Let's take a short

135

Speaker 2: Good morning to you.

140
00:07:25,935 --> 00:07:31,695
Speaker 9: Good morning glood. Somebody's gone here from Hamilton. If you've

141
00:07:31,695 --> 00:07:33,575
Speaker 9: got a solution to this year be able to make

142
00:07:34,215 --> 00:07:37,135
Speaker 9: millions of dollars. Now we live in Hamilton in the

143
00:07:37,215 --> 00:07:41,015
Speaker 9: residential area. We've been here for about nine years now.

144
00:07:41,095 --> 00:07:48,095
Speaker 9: We parted Personmin's Golden Queen's Golden Delicious Perny Smith. That's

145
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:52,815
Speaker 9: a let's say, grafted tree, and you know what, who

146
00:07:52,855 --> 00:07:55,615
Speaker 9: gets all the boody fruit and the plums? The birds

147
00:07:56,375 --> 00:08:01,055
Speaker 9: they were in a commercial We let the person tree.

148
00:08:01,295 --> 00:08:02,815
Speaker 10: But but but you know.

149
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:05,575
Speaker 9: In a commercial area they have guns going off and stuff.

150
00:08:05,615 --> 00:08:08,535
Speaker 9: You know, they're skin the birds the way. Yes, you

151
00:08:08,575 --> 00:08:11,095
Speaker 9: can't have that. You can't have that. They're an insularia.

152
00:08:11,255 --> 00:08:14,255
Speaker 3: So if you can as long as you shoot upwards

153
00:08:14,295 --> 00:08:17,575
Speaker 3: and you're not having a final approach area of an

154
00:08:17,575 --> 00:08:19,695
Speaker 3: airport nearby, you.

155
00:08:19,575 --> 00:08:22,215
Speaker 9: Get limbs in the head. Yeah, I know, if I land.

156
00:08:23,775 --> 00:08:28,455
Speaker 4: Get over it all right. What's your question though, how

157
00:08:28,495 --> 00:08:29,535
Speaker 4: to get rid of the birds?

158
00:08:30,375 --> 00:08:30,575
Speaker 7: Yeah?

159
00:08:30,855 --> 00:08:34,455
Speaker 9: Yeah, you stop them. I mean these pics aren't anywhere near.

160
00:08:34,695 --> 00:08:36,615
Speaker 9: Will you go and knit the persons? Which I can't

161
00:08:36,855 --> 00:08:40,415
Speaker 9: the point the promp trees and the gold greens and stuff.

162
00:08:40,135 --> 00:08:42,855
Speaker 3: They're so they're so large this yeah, I know what

163
00:08:42,895 --> 00:08:45,215
Speaker 3: you mean. Yeah, I've got the same with my berries

164
00:08:45,255 --> 00:08:46,855
Speaker 3: and things like that as well, which is why I

165
00:08:46,895 --> 00:08:49,895
Speaker 3: build a cage with netting over the top. I have

166
00:08:49,975 --> 00:08:53,135
Speaker 3: no building consent for that cage, but that's another story.

167
00:08:54,015 --> 00:08:56,695
Speaker 3: So everything. Yeah, but that's the point, isn't it. It's

168
00:08:56,735 --> 00:08:58,815
Speaker 3: really hard to do that. They will go for the

169
00:08:58,815 --> 00:09:00,095
Speaker 3: fruit because that's what they love.

170
00:09:01,095 --> 00:09:04,455
Speaker 9: Well, they even go, they even go before the bloody

171
00:09:04,495 --> 00:09:08,815
Speaker 9: things are originally a sort of life. And yeah, I know, yeah,

172
00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:11,255
Speaker 9: I sort of thought of those chime things that you

173
00:09:11,335 --> 00:09:13,575
Speaker 9: have in the house that signal, but of course you've

174
00:09:13,575 --> 00:09:15,055
Speaker 9: got to have wind for those as well.

175
00:09:15,615 --> 00:09:18,775
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not neighbors that say, can you stop that

176
00:09:18,855 --> 00:09:19,575
Speaker 3: noise please?

177
00:09:20,575 --> 00:09:23,215
Speaker 9: Oh no, I wouldn't have any problems for there, But

178
00:09:24,215 --> 00:09:25,175
Speaker 9: I know what you're meaning.

179
00:09:25,975 --> 00:09:28,935
Speaker 3: It's really hard to do that with these things. I

180
00:09:28,975 --> 00:09:31,095
Speaker 3: think the netting is probably the best way to go.

181
00:09:31,455 --> 00:09:34,375
Speaker 3: I had some apricots that we netted, a really ancient

182
00:09:34,535 --> 00:09:38,015
Speaker 3: tree anywhere, long story there, but I'm not going to

183
00:09:38,055 --> 00:09:41,375
Speaker 3: go there. And we actually were quite successful with getting

184
00:09:41,455 --> 00:09:45,895
Speaker 3: quite good apricots this year by being consistent and the

185
00:09:45,975 --> 00:09:48,175
Speaker 3: moment you've got them harvest, to take the netting out

186
00:09:48,215 --> 00:09:51,815
Speaker 3: before it all gets entangled in new branches, and at

187
00:09:51,855 --> 00:09:54,175
Speaker 3: the same time you start pruning your apricot tree.

188
00:09:54,295 --> 00:09:55,095
Speaker 4: That's the way to go.

189
00:09:56,295 --> 00:09:58,935
Speaker 9: You know. We lived in wrong on the tower for

190
00:09:58,975 --> 00:10:02,335
Speaker 9: about six years. That was a wonderful place. But lady

191
00:10:02,495 --> 00:10:05,895
Speaker 9: she had a beautiful pear tree and she actually got

192
00:10:05,895 --> 00:10:11,255
Speaker 9: those those bags have on on bread, and see she

193
00:10:11,735 --> 00:10:14,975
Speaker 9: put one of those. She put the bag on each buddy,

194
00:10:15,495 --> 00:10:17,335
Speaker 9: on each beer.

195
00:10:18,455 --> 00:10:21,895
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I'm sorry, John, I can't go

196
00:10:21,935 --> 00:10:24,415
Speaker 3: any deeper than this in this case. We all got

197
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:27,255
Speaker 3: that problem, and everybody comes up with different opinions. But

198
00:10:27,295 --> 00:10:30,095
Speaker 3: I would make I would make your tree smaller, pune

199
00:10:30,095 --> 00:10:31,855
Speaker 3: it down so you can put the net over the top,

200
00:10:31,895 --> 00:10:33,055
Speaker 3: and that might just work.

201
00:10:34,815 --> 00:10:38,655
Speaker 2: Any solutions better than no solution in this instance, I suspect. Okay,

202
00:10:38,895 --> 00:10:39,775
Speaker 2: hello there.

203
00:10:40,575 --> 00:10:42,535
Speaker 11: Hello, good morning to you guys.

204
00:10:42,855 --> 00:10:43,735
Speaker 4: Hi hi hi hi.

205
00:10:44,815 --> 00:10:47,935
Speaker 11: I'm wondering about red onions. I've never grown them before,

206
00:10:48,055 --> 00:10:51,575
Speaker 11: and I've got beautiful red onions, and do I pull

207
00:10:51,615 --> 00:10:53,295
Speaker 11: them out of the garden or what do I do

208
00:10:53,415 --> 00:10:53,775
Speaker 11: with them?

209
00:10:54,735 --> 00:10:56,335
Speaker 4: What do you mean? What do you do with them?

210
00:10:56,735 --> 00:10:59,295
Speaker 11: Do you store them? Do you have to drive them?

211
00:10:59,615 --> 00:10:59,775
Speaker 2: Yeah?

212
00:11:00,015 --> 00:11:01,655
Speaker 4: You can, you can store them. You can.

213
00:11:01,895 --> 00:11:06,095
Speaker 3: You can store red onions. And you know what, the

214
00:11:06,135 --> 00:11:08,655
Speaker 3: thing that really hacks me off the most about red

215
00:11:08,655 --> 00:11:12,175
Speaker 3: onions is that it's really hard to get red onions

216
00:11:12,175 --> 00:11:13,175
Speaker 3: with the skin on.

217
00:11:14,575 --> 00:11:15,895
Speaker 11: Yes, there's got skin on.

218
00:11:16,815 --> 00:11:20,575
Speaker 3: They leave their bloody skin on because God invented that

219
00:11:20,815 --> 00:11:24,455
Speaker 3: skin for the protection of those onions. And what do

220
00:11:24,535 --> 00:11:27,535
Speaker 3: they do, these marketers? They make them all bright and

221
00:11:27,615 --> 00:11:31,575
Speaker 3: red without skin, lasting lots less and you know, so

222
00:11:31,655 --> 00:11:35,095
Speaker 3: they look good? Are you buying onions for the looks?

223
00:11:35,815 --> 00:11:36,735
Speaker 3: For eating them?

224
00:11:37,775 --> 00:11:40,015
Speaker 5: Anyway?

225
00:11:40,655 --> 00:11:43,455
Speaker 3: Leave the skin on and put them in a nice

226
00:11:44,495 --> 00:11:49,695
Speaker 3: dry area with no moisture, et cetera, et cetera, in

227
00:11:49,735 --> 00:11:51,415
Speaker 3: the dark, as cool as you can.

228
00:11:52,495 --> 00:11:55,095
Speaker 11: And do you cut the tops off the.

229
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:58,615
Speaker 3: Top of you mean that little floppy no, leave it

230
00:11:59,215 --> 00:12:02,335
Speaker 3: or the top the top of the plant itself, Yes,

231
00:12:02,975 --> 00:12:05,495
Speaker 3: yes you can. You know how you normally get an

232
00:12:05,535 --> 00:12:08,335
Speaker 3: onion in the in the supermarket with the skin on.

233
00:12:08,855 --> 00:12:11,815
Speaker 4: That's how you store them. Yeah, that's how you start them.

234
00:12:12,215 --> 00:12:15,015
Speaker 11: I've just planted some more. Will it be too late

235
00:12:15,095 --> 00:12:15,895
Speaker 11: for them to grow?

236
00:12:17,535 --> 00:12:19,735
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know.

237
00:12:19,895 --> 00:12:21,495
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know, I don't know, I

238
00:12:21,495 --> 00:12:24,095
Speaker 3: don't I forgot about the timing. I've given up on

239
00:12:24,135 --> 00:12:24,815
Speaker 3: those things.

240
00:12:25,695 --> 00:12:32,375
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was pleasing, good question, though, love it gay

241
00:12:32,695 --> 00:12:33,015
Speaker 4: all this?

242
00:12:33,655 --> 00:12:35,375
Speaker 2: In fact, I was looking for a little red onion

243
00:12:35,455 --> 00:12:37,335
Speaker 2: yesterday but there wasn't one in the fridge.

244
00:12:37,375 --> 00:12:37,695
Speaker 4: Shot.

245
00:12:40,215 --> 00:12:42,615
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just I was doing wraps and they a

246
00:12:42,615 --> 00:12:44,735
Speaker 2: little bit of red onion in the.

247
00:12:44,775 --> 00:12:48,415
Speaker 3: Exact But this is the point, isn't it strange how

248
00:12:48,455 --> 00:12:52,495
Speaker 3: they do that nice looks and it's and this and

249
00:12:52,575 --> 00:12:55,855
Speaker 3: this is other thing, the words they get in these supermarkets.

250
00:12:56,055 --> 00:13:01,615
Speaker 3: We have red potatoes, we've got dirty potatoes, we've got

251
00:13:01,855 --> 00:13:03,695
Speaker 3: white potatoes, we've got yellow but.

252
00:13:04,055 --> 00:13:07,815
Speaker 4: There is not a name of any variety. It's this

253
00:13:08,215 --> 00:13:10,415
Speaker 4: nonsense of dirty.

254
00:13:10,535 --> 00:13:14,095
Speaker 5: But can you I mentionine selling dirty potatoes.

255
00:13:13,855 --> 00:13:19,015
Speaker 3: Meaning they're not being clean anyway, They're going.

256
00:13:20,655 --> 00:13:21,135
Speaker 4: Never mind.

257
00:13:21,575 --> 00:13:23,095
Speaker 2: Hey, Richard, good morning to you.

258
00:13:24,175 --> 00:13:30,095
Speaker 12: Oh, good morning, Hey, Hi, good morning, rud. I have

259
00:13:30,175 --> 00:13:35,575
Speaker 12: a question about my ruther beans. And some of them

260
00:13:35,575 --> 00:13:40,255
Speaker 12: are dying. They just go yellow and turn up their toes. Now,

261
00:13:40,495 --> 00:13:44,415
Speaker 12: others adjacent to fine. And I'm wondering whether it's a virus,

262
00:13:44,655 --> 00:13:49,095
Speaker 12: bad seed, or transplant shock because I raise them from seed.

263
00:13:49,575 --> 00:13:52,215
Speaker 8: Yeah, any idea, I don't know.

264
00:13:52,975 --> 00:13:58,495
Speaker 3: I've never kind of headed like that's strictly so well,

265
00:13:58,655 --> 00:14:03,735
Speaker 3: so so well and eloquently sort of presented. Some die

266
00:14:03,815 --> 00:14:08,255
Speaker 3: and the others are I don't is it lake of water?

267
00:14:08,375 --> 00:14:09,575
Speaker 3: Is it the lack of calcium.

268
00:14:09,695 --> 00:14:14,015
Speaker 10: No, no, I'm not sure about fertility.

269
00:14:14,135 --> 00:14:18,295
Speaker 13: But I've just planted half a dozen in a row,

270
00:14:18,775 --> 00:14:21,895
Speaker 13: and I brought in soil from another section, so the

271
00:14:21,935 --> 00:14:25,255
Speaker 13: soil is good, and five of them are great and prolific,

272
00:14:25,735 --> 00:14:28,095
Speaker 13: and one's dying, and I'm thinking, well, it's just gone

273
00:14:28,135 --> 00:14:30,615
Speaker 13: the same way as the others that area of the

274
00:14:30,695 --> 00:14:35,495
Speaker 13: guard And I grew beans, runner beans for twenty plus

275
00:14:35,615 --> 00:14:39,455
Speaker 13: years fine, and then suddenly one year they all died,

276
00:14:39,495 --> 00:14:42,655
Speaker 13: and I thought, oh, well it's spent, so I moved elsewhere.

277
00:14:42,735 --> 00:14:47,535
Speaker 13: But oddly one or two plants will die and then

278
00:14:47,615 --> 00:14:49,015
Speaker 13: the others will follow suit.

279
00:14:49,775 --> 00:14:52,615
Speaker 10: I'm just wondering if it's a virus or whether dodgy seed.

280
00:14:52,695 --> 00:14:54,295
Speaker 10: I don't know. These are scarlet runners.

281
00:14:54,335 --> 00:14:57,815
Speaker 3: They're an old Yeah, I know, scarlet runners, Yeah, I know.

282
00:14:58,295 --> 00:15:02,415
Speaker 3: Have you Are you aware that I mentioned the skelcium before?

283
00:15:03,175 --> 00:15:03,735
Speaker 4: From memory?

284
00:15:03,775 --> 00:15:05,975
Speaker 3: I went and I used, I actually should be growing

285
00:15:06,015 --> 00:15:08,215
Speaker 3: them again, and we haven't got time at the moment anyway,

286
00:15:08,815 --> 00:15:12,575
Speaker 3: too late anyway, But most beans prefer some lime in

287
00:15:12,615 --> 00:15:16,375
Speaker 3: the soil, and that is that that is maybe why

288
00:15:16,935 --> 00:15:17,935
Speaker 3: you got.

289
00:15:17,695 --> 00:15:20,055
Speaker 4: Some negative effects of that piece of soil that you

290
00:15:20,095 --> 00:15:20,575
Speaker 4: had before.

291
00:15:20,655 --> 00:15:28,615
Speaker 7: You know, what I mean, just yes, yes, got a yeah.

292
00:15:28,415 --> 00:15:29,215
Speaker 4: It has a little bit.

293
00:15:29,255 --> 00:15:32,295
Speaker 3: But this is this is the normal lime, not not

294
00:15:32,295 --> 00:15:34,095
Speaker 3: not not what do you call it?

295
00:15:34,135 --> 00:15:34,335
Speaker 9: Lime?

296
00:15:34,535 --> 00:15:37,175
Speaker 4: Normal line? I'm calling, but you know, talking about normal lime.

297
00:15:37,295 --> 00:15:41,375
Speaker 10: Yeah, just tabnate, good.

298
00:15:41,175 --> 00:15:42,775
Speaker 4: Boy, You're better than me.

299
00:15:42,855 --> 00:15:45,455
Speaker 3: I've lost it because I'm thinking about birds now anyway,

300
00:15:45,895 --> 00:15:47,415
Speaker 3: But you got it. But I think that that's a

301
00:15:47,455 --> 00:15:49,175
Speaker 3: good idea to get some off that lime and the

302
00:15:49,215 --> 00:15:50,895
Speaker 3: soil and see if that works next year.

303
00:15:52,575 --> 00:15:55,175
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll see what the pH is. I mean that

304
00:15:55,295 --> 00:15:56,535
Speaker 10: that's an education, isn't it.

305
00:15:57,015 --> 00:16:01,015
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so. Yeah, p high.

306
00:16:01,135 --> 00:16:04,055
Speaker 10: I think last time I kissed it was okay, but

307
00:16:05,015 --> 00:16:05,695
Speaker 10: a while ago.

308
00:16:07,295 --> 00:16:11,135
Speaker 3: If it's yeah, have a goo. That's quite often the

309
00:16:11,175 --> 00:16:13,455
Speaker 3: cage with these these beans. He's on the beans.

310
00:16:13,855 --> 00:16:16,055
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, Richard, thank you very much, and

311
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:17,615
Speaker 2: don a very good morning to you.

312
00:16:18,735 --> 00:16:23,455
Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning going, gentlemen. My question blued. I've got

313
00:16:23,735 --> 00:16:30,055
Speaker 8: liberties cucumber that I grow in a raised garden pool

314
00:16:30,095 --> 00:16:33,375
Speaker 8: and every year just to kind of give it a boost.

315
00:16:33,695 --> 00:16:36,615
Speaker 8: And my liberteese ceucumper, I grow them up a pole

316
00:16:37,655 --> 00:16:43,415
Speaker 8: and they die one at a time. Ah, And I

317
00:16:43,775 --> 00:16:47,775
Speaker 8: noticed I'm the third one that died. They take a bit.

318
00:16:47,975 --> 00:16:50,775
Speaker 8: They go from a really nice plant to dead in

319
00:16:50,935 --> 00:16:52,415
Speaker 8: about four days.

320
00:16:52,815 --> 00:16:54,015
Speaker 4: Wow, that's no good.

321
00:16:55,895 --> 00:16:58,815
Speaker 8: And just then when I was pulling it out, it

322
00:16:58,935 --> 00:17:04,575
Speaker 8: looks it goes into the ground. It looked kind of eaten.

323
00:17:04,935 --> 00:17:10,015
Speaker 8: So pulled it apart and there's very small, very fall

324
00:17:10,215 --> 00:17:15,095
Speaker 8: white lighte crawling around small larvae.

325
00:17:16,215 --> 00:17:19,735
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the in the soil. Are they walking around

326
00:17:19,735 --> 00:17:21,255
Speaker 4: in the soil on top of the soil.

327
00:17:22,815 --> 00:17:25,495
Speaker 8: They run they run the root or run the steam.

328
00:17:25,695 --> 00:17:30,535
Speaker 8: They're eaten into it And that's what's But my question

329
00:17:30,735 --> 00:17:32,655
Speaker 8: is what is it? And what do I do to

330
00:17:32,655 --> 00:17:33,255
Speaker 8: get rid of it?

331
00:17:33,575 --> 00:17:38,095
Speaker 4: Okay, I see what you mean. Can you describe that

332
00:17:38,175 --> 00:17:40,455
Speaker 4: little grub that you're talking about? Is it? Is it

333
00:17:40,495 --> 00:17:43,615
Speaker 4: a worm like thing? Is it white? What color? How

334
00:17:43,655 --> 00:17:45,095
Speaker 4: big is it?

335
00:17:45,095 --> 00:17:48,055
Speaker 8: It's a white color, but it's it's so small that

336
00:17:48,095 --> 00:17:50,815
Speaker 8: it'd be lucky if that it'd be a million and

337
00:17:50,815 --> 00:17:56,575
Speaker 8: a half long half. And it's you know, there's there's

338
00:17:56,695 --> 00:17:59,295
Speaker 8: lots of them, and they look like they're just eating

339
00:17:59,335 --> 00:18:03,815
Speaker 8: the steam or eating the steam either where it comes

340
00:18:03,855 --> 00:18:04,535
Speaker 8: out of the ground.

341
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:09,695
Speaker 4: Have you cucumber? Have you cucumbers roots been over watered

342
00:18:09,735 --> 00:18:10,535
Speaker 4: at some stage?

343
00:18:11,935 --> 00:18:12,215
Speaker 9: Well?

344
00:18:12,255 --> 00:18:16,175
Speaker 8: I put five minutes of water on at four o'clock

345
00:18:16,255 --> 00:18:19,895
Speaker 8: in the morning every day, and that goes on.

346
00:18:19,775 --> 00:18:20,535
Speaker 9: My whole garden.

347
00:18:21,055 --> 00:18:24,935
Speaker 3: Okay, Sometimes these little things are the ones that if

348
00:18:24,975 --> 00:18:29,295
Speaker 3: you like the the flies around the coffin, you know

349
00:18:29,335 --> 00:18:31,975
Speaker 3: what I mean. If the plant dies, then these little

350
00:18:32,015 --> 00:18:35,015
Speaker 3: creatures could be all sorts of bits and pieces, but

351
00:18:35,055 --> 00:18:37,935
Speaker 3: they're quite often at soil level will actually start to

352
00:18:37,975 --> 00:18:42,175
Speaker 3: recycle the stuff that's dying. And that that means that

353
00:18:42,375 --> 00:18:44,815
Speaker 3: it's quite often the case when it's been overwatered.

354
00:18:45,655 --> 00:18:47,615
Speaker 4: Did you a little did you know?

355
00:18:47,735 --> 00:18:50,935
Speaker 3: Did you know that most New Zealand plants, especially house plants,

356
00:18:51,095 --> 00:18:53,975
Speaker 3: but also plants internal houses and glasshouses and things like that,

357
00:18:54,015 --> 00:18:59,215
Speaker 3: and gardens die from over watering. It's an interesting statistic.

358
00:18:59,255 --> 00:19:02,495
Speaker 3: Cover it somewhere, so that could well be it.

359
00:19:02,615 --> 00:19:05,895
Speaker 2: All the very busy on good luck with it. Speaking

360
00:19:05,935 --> 00:19:08,615
Speaker 2: of water, there's showers on the forecast for Auckland, and

361
00:19:08,655 --> 00:19:10,855
Speaker 2: I have to say I'm not unhappy about that. It's

362
00:19:10,855 --> 00:19:13,335
Speaker 2: pretty dry at the moment. Yeah, yeah, we need some
