Had one rainy day, but even that 24 00:01:26,215 --> 00:01:27,015 Speaker 3: was not a big deal. 25 00:01:27,255 --> 00:01:29,815 Speaker 2: Right, well, probably go to the garden this time of year. 26 00:01:30,415 --> 00:01:33,015 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And apparently they were really looking for some water 27 00:01:33,095 --> 00:01:35,735 Speaker 3: around here because it hadn't been quite dry, which was 28 00:01:35,815 --> 00:01:38,535 Speaker 3: unusual because I would say it was, you know, it 29 00:01:38,575 --> 00:01:40,735 Speaker 3: was quite wet, but it was they I reckon they 30 00:01:40,775 --> 00:01:47,135 Speaker 3: needed it, sell dig the growers. Yeah, this was amazing, mate. 31 00:01:46,295 --> 00:01:50,895 Speaker 2: Awesome, that's great. Right, let's grab some calls. I think, 32 00:01:50,975 --> 00:01:53,335 Speaker 2: let's not wuck around, so we let's we're out. We're 33 00:01:53,375 --> 00:01:55,215 Speaker 2: out of here for the commentary. 34 00:01:55,695 --> 00:01:56,175 Speaker 3: Sure, I know. 35 00:01:56,335 --> 00:02:00,615 Speaker 2: Actually, I'll tell you what quick text question, Pete, would 36 00:02:00,615 --> 00:02:03,495 Speaker 2: you please ask Rid how to stop tiny wasps from 37 00:02:03,535 --> 00:02:08,175 Speaker 2: eating my monarch caterpillars on a very large swan plant? Please? 38 00:02:08,855 --> 00:02:10,775 Speaker 2: Feels like we do get this question every year, don't 39 00:02:10,815 --> 00:02:12,015 Speaker 2: we every year? 40 00:02:12,135 --> 00:02:15,255 Speaker 3: And the idea is, yeah, and small wasps. I don't 41 00:02:15,295 --> 00:02:17,415 Speaker 3: know what it means with small or issue means with 42 00:02:17,575 --> 00:02:21,375 Speaker 3: small wasps, but basically all the predatory wasps like German 43 00:02:21,495 --> 00:02:26,775 Speaker 3: wasps and common wasps and some of those those paper wasps, 44 00:02:27,055 --> 00:02:29,735 Speaker 3: they will go for meat, their meat eaters. Right, So 45 00:02:29,855 --> 00:02:33,255 Speaker 3: this is the idea. I would not plant by my 46 00:02:33,375 --> 00:02:35,935 Speaker 3: swan plant in the ground. I would put it in 47 00:02:35,975 --> 00:02:38,455 Speaker 3: a large pot so I can move it. And the 48 00:02:38,535 --> 00:02:41,735 Speaker 3: reason for that is that wasps are very clever with GPS. 49 00:02:42,095 --> 00:02:45,295 Speaker 3: Once they've found out where the caterpillars live, they know 50 00:02:45,375 --> 00:02:47,535 Speaker 3: where to go. When you change it to the back 51 00:02:47,575 --> 00:02:50,695 Speaker 3: of the house, they suddenly go like, holy heck, I'm 52 00:02:50,735 --> 00:02:53,655 Speaker 3: sure there were caterpillars here, and they're really dumb, you 53 00:02:53,695 --> 00:02:56,615 Speaker 3: know what I mean. So you can actually choose to 54 00:02:56,975 --> 00:02:59,855 Speaker 3: choose to change their location, right, and that will work 55 00:02:59,975 --> 00:03:02,055 Speaker 3: really nicely to stop them from getting at them. 56 00:03:02,295 --> 00:03:04,295 Speaker 2: Okay, and knitting does that work. 57 00:03:05,095 --> 00:03:07,175 Speaker 3: Netting will work too, of course. But netting will also 58 00:03:07,295 --> 00:03:11,455 Speaker 3: work against butterflies laying eggs. So once you've got your eggs, yes, 59 00:03:11,535 --> 00:03:13,935 Speaker 3: you can net it absolutely all. 60 00:03:13,895 --> 00:03:16,215 Speaker 2: Right, let's get into the calls carry a very good morning. 61 00:03:17,455 --> 00:03:22,495 Speaker 4: Yes, morning, gentlemen, Peter en rude problem with my glass house. 62 00:03:22,815 --> 00:03:25,735 Speaker 4: What's the first sign of that blight that PEPs tomatoes 63 00:03:25,815 --> 00:03:29,095 Speaker 4: and potatoes because the leaves are pearling up and the 64 00:03:29,135 --> 00:03:31,375 Speaker 4: fruits dying of funny shape. 65 00:03:32,855 --> 00:03:36,055 Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know which particular fungus that would be. 66 00:03:36,215 --> 00:03:38,295 Speaker 3: It depends. There are a couple of things that can 67 00:03:38,335 --> 00:03:42,375 Speaker 3: do that best. The best thing to do is if 68 00:03:42,375 --> 00:03:44,855 Speaker 3: you have problems with this, the quickest solution now is 69 00:03:44,895 --> 00:03:48,175 Speaker 3: to spray some copper over the plants, copper and sulfur mixtures. 70 00:03:48,815 --> 00:03:52,175 Speaker 3: I would say, yah, Nature's way fungus spray, which is 71 00:03:52,295 --> 00:03:55,015 Speaker 3: copper and sulfur mixed. And what you do with that 72 00:03:55,415 --> 00:03:59,695 Speaker 3: spray is you actually stop the fungi spreading around to 73 00:03:59,815 --> 00:04:02,295 Speaker 3: the other parts of the plant. So basically that's your 74 00:04:02,295 --> 00:04:05,295 Speaker 3: best way to go without even seeing what the fungus 75 00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:06,895 Speaker 3: is so I can't see it from here of course, 76 00:04:06,935 --> 00:04:10,495 Speaker 3: being in but there you are. That's my best guess. 77 00:04:11,855 --> 00:04:14,095 Speaker 4: Okay, thanks very much. I'll give that a hit this morning. 78 00:04:14,135 --> 00:04:16,775 Speaker 3: Thanks. 79 00:04:17,615 --> 00:04:20,615 Speaker 2: Excuse me, Alistair grisolineas. 80 00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:25,295 Speaker 5: Late's I've got a grizzlinear hedge that's a couple of 81 00:04:25,375 --> 00:04:27,735 Speaker 5: years old, which I thought was going to be either 82 00:04:27,735 --> 00:04:30,415 Speaker 5: green forever, but time it's going very deciduous and yellow. 83 00:04:31,215 --> 00:04:35,575 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it does happen. I've get I'm getting more 84 00:04:35,615 --> 00:04:38,575 Speaker 3: and more of those questions from Grizzly for a grizzlin ea, 85 00:04:39,095 --> 00:04:42,215 Speaker 3: and that could it could be a is your hedge 86 00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:44,135 Speaker 3: on in quite a wet spot for. 87 00:04:44,015 --> 00:04:48,695 Speaker 5: Instance, it is yeah shaded yeah. 88 00:04:48,215 --> 00:04:51,495 Speaker 3: And that is without again, without seeing, because you really 89 00:04:51,535 --> 00:04:54,655 Speaker 3: need to identify these things properly. But what I tell you, 90 00:04:54,735 --> 00:04:56,575 Speaker 3: my guess is that it's something like a fight of 91 00:04:57,015 --> 00:05:01,615 Speaker 3: a root rot and that could be totally what do 92 00:05:01,615 --> 00:05:04,975 Speaker 3: you call it fatal for most of the plants, especially 93 00:05:05,015 --> 00:05:09,295 Speaker 3: as they spread their spores underground through what they call 94 00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:14,695 Speaker 3: freyetic water, and that means that they basically infect one 95 00:05:14,735 --> 00:05:15,975 Speaker 3: plant after the next. 96 00:05:17,815 --> 00:05:19,695 Speaker 5: So I go to the cardos, can I use my 97 00:05:19,855 --> 00:05:23,215 Speaker 5: fightof for chemicals that will use on the other cardos. 98 00:05:24,455 --> 00:05:26,695 Speaker 3: I think that's a very clever idea. Why don't you? 99 00:05:28,335 --> 00:05:31,615 Speaker 5: Okay, I'll try, I hope so. 100 00:05:31,735 --> 00:05:34,015 Speaker 3: But the point of course is, once you've got it 101 00:05:34,015 --> 00:05:36,735 Speaker 3: in the ground, you do realize you're fighting all the time. 102 00:05:37,295 --> 00:05:39,495 Speaker 3: So you can't, for instance, if you if you've got 103 00:05:39,535 --> 00:05:41,815 Speaker 3: a whole o in a row and a hedge, if 104 00:05:41,855 --> 00:05:44,455 Speaker 3: the hedge is started to fall apart in some places, 105 00:05:44,735 --> 00:05:48,375 Speaker 3: you might find it spreads somehow anyway, and it means 106 00:05:48,735 --> 00:05:50,935 Speaker 3: maybe it's an idea to think about getting a different 107 00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:55,695 Speaker 3: hedge with a different resilience to fight after, if you like. 108 00:05:56,095 --> 00:05:58,855 Speaker 3: And basically every species has its own fight off for 109 00:05:59,015 --> 00:06:01,975 Speaker 3: almost so you find that you can actually stop the 110 00:06:02,015 --> 00:06:07,255 Speaker 3: infestation from grissolinia and start something totally different. That's just 111 00:06:07,335 --> 00:06:08,055 Speaker 3: another idea. 112 00:06:09,015 --> 00:06:12,415 Speaker 5: I have no recommendations of something that is resistant to. 113 00:06:12,975 --> 00:06:17,135 Speaker 3: Anything anything else. PROSBA is all that sort of stuff. 114 00:06:18,535 --> 00:06:20,215 Speaker 5: Okay, good night. 115 00:06:20,695 --> 00:06:21,935 Speaker 3: All of this were welcome. 116 00:06:22,135 --> 00:06:25,335 Speaker 2: Take care. He seems to have an unusual advantage in 117 00:06:25,335 --> 00:06:28,015 Speaker 2: the sense that he's already running an evocata orchard. 118 00:06:27,815 --> 00:06:32,295 Speaker 3: So he knows what you do. That's easy. 119 00:06:32,535 --> 00:06:38,335 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's brilliant, right, Roger, A very good morning to you. 120 00:06:39,175 --> 00:06:43,975 Speaker 6: Good morning. I've got some asparagus there, and because it 121 00:06:44,135 --> 00:06:48,335 Speaker 6: was bad weather, it's run away on us and we 122 00:06:48,495 --> 00:06:51,495 Speaker 6: haven't my minister cut any If I cut it now, 123 00:06:52,015 --> 00:06:54,815 Speaker 6: will it be okay? Would I get any more asparagus 124 00:06:54,935 --> 00:06:55,375 Speaker 6: or should I? 125 00:06:55,455 --> 00:06:58,695 Speaker 3: Yes, yes you will. I've had the same complaints with 126 00:06:58,735 --> 00:07:00,815 Speaker 3: my darling Julie, because when I was away for a 127 00:07:00,815 --> 00:07:03,375 Speaker 3: couple of weeks, she didn't really catch up with the 128 00:07:03,495 --> 00:07:07,055 Speaker 3: asparagus and they became about two meters high. I cut 129 00:07:07,135 --> 00:07:09,895 Speaker 3: them off and decided to blow it. I'm going to 130 00:07:09,935 --> 00:07:12,535 Speaker 3: ever go and yes they are coming back, so don't 131 00:07:12,575 --> 00:07:13,255 Speaker 3: worry about that. 132 00:07:14,375 --> 00:07:16,535 Speaker 6: Oh God, I'll just cut it back a little crow again. 133 00:07:17,175 --> 00:07:20,015 Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, thank you. 134 00:07:21,495 --> 00:07:26,495 Speaker 2: Sharpe, Yes, sharp, that's the key. It is eight twenty 135 00:07:26,535 --> 00:07:29,455 Speaker 2: six here at news Tippy do we I think we 136 00:07:29,455 --> 00:07:31,095 Speaker 2: need to take a break. We'll take a break and 137 00:07:31,135 --> 00:07:31,655 Speaker 2: then we'll be back. 138 00:07:32,575 --> 00:07:32,815 Speaker 4: Yep. 139 00:07:34,895 --> 00:07:37,135 Speaker 2: The Redcline passed joining us this morning on the show. 140 00:07:37,255 --> 00:07:41,135 Speaker 2: As always, quick text from Bonnie morning. Should I paint 141 00:07:41,135 --> 00:07:44,975 Speaker 2: my garden box and trellis with waste oil? No? 142 00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:52,255 Speaker 3: I wouldn't. No, No, I don't think that's a good idea. No, No, 143 00:07:52,335 --> 00:07:55,975 Speaker 3: that makes sense. Mecrocarpa quite often does it without any 144 00:07:56,535 --> 00:07:58,895 Speaker 3: you know, for years and years, years without any treatment 145 00:07:58,935 --> 00:07:59,375 Speaker 3: at all. 146 00:07:59,375 --> 00:08:02,215 Speaker 2: There are bitter ways seen the waste oil back to 147 00:08:02,255 --> 00:08:06,735 Speaker 2: the appropriate people for recycling radio right. I love like that. 148 00:08:07,335 --> 00:08:09,615 Speaker 3: Here's another one, by the way. You know, we've had 149 00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:11,295 Speaker 3: all these questions about what we have to do with 150 00:08:11,335 --> 00:08:13,375 Speaker 3: tomatoes and fat off and all these sort of things. 151 00:08:13,775 --> 00:08:15,415 Speaker 3: The talk that I'm going to give in about an 152 00:08:15,455 --> 00:08:17,575 Speaker 3: hour and half's time he had plenty of garden and 153 00:08:17,655 --> 00:08:20,615 Speaker 3: Arce festival is how to murder your plants more slowly. 154 00:08:25,735 --> 00:08:30,215 Speaker 2: And the key point to that is the key point. 155 00:08:30,015 --> 00:08:31,895 Speaker 3: To it is that there's all sorts of ways to 156 00:08:31,935 --> 00:08:34,935 Speaker 3: actually stop all these troubles by actually being really nice 157 00:08:34,935 --> 00:08:37,295 Speaker 3: to your plants. That's what it is. Oh, by the way, 158 00:08:37,655 --> 00:08:40,695 Speaker 3: your friend Brian Rinches was really talking to him.

I don't know. They 179 00:09:31,935 --> 00:09:33,055 Speaker 7: can actually break the window. 180 00:09:33,815 --> 00:09:36,295 Speaker 3: They're not fent tails breaking windows. 181 00:09:37,535 --> 00:09:44,535 Speaker 7: Tiny very long, big yellow and bluish color. 182 00:09:47,015 --> 00:09:49,615 Speaker 3: I was just got to say this. Here's the gig 183 00:09:49,935 --> 00:09:53,255 Speaker 3: mailing is very simple. They see themselves in the window 184 00:09:53,415 --> 00:09:56,615 Speaker 3: and thinking it is a competitor, and they go, oh, 185 00:09:56,775 --> 00:10:00,015 Speaker 3: get out of here. So then you'll dive bombing on themselves. 186 00:10:00,055 --> 00:10:03,695 Speaker 3: But it usually ends up bed for the for the bird. 187 00:10:06,135 --> 00:10:08,255 Speaker 3: I yeah, four things. 188 00:10:10,095 --> 00:10:10,535 Speaker 7: Look at me. 189 00:10:12,495 --> 00:10:15,335 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't, I know, I know, and they keep going. 190 00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:17,815 Speaker 3: It's if they have no idea what they're doing. But 191 00:10:17,935 --> 00:10:19,535 Speaker 3: this is the thing. What you can do is you 192 00:10:19,535 --> 00:10:22,495 Speaker 3: can put these little stickers on your window that actually 193 00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:26,015 Speaker 3: show them that this is a window and not just nothing. 194 00:10:26,575 --> 00:10:28,975 Speaker 3: So if you have these stickers on the window, falcons 195 00:10:28,975 --> 00:10:31,495 Speaker 3: and foot pigeons do the same thing. They try to 196 00:10:31,535 --> 00:10:33,775 Speaker 3: go through the house because they can see the window 197 00:10:33,775 --> 00:10:35,775 Speaker 3: on the other side of the house and thinking if 198 00:10:35,815 --> 00:10:38,295 Speaker 3: I fly through here, I exit on the other side. 199 00:10:38,575 --> 00:10:39,895 Speaker 3: Would that be a possibility. 200 00:10:40,655 --> 00:10:46,655 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, no, fair enough. 201 00:10:46,735 --> 00:10:50,895 Speaker 2: A good luck, very good luck, and dot A very 202 00:10:50,895 --> 00:10:51,415 Speaker 2: good morning. 203 00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:59,095 Speaker 9: Hello Dodo, morning up and kai Kura. We've got swarms 204 00:10:59,095 --> 00:11:02,295 Speaker 9: of these round visuals which I believe a little grass 205 00:11:02,335 --> 00:11:07,935 Speaker 9: grubs and the wingdside for my fruit trees, and they 206 00:11:07,935 --> 00:11:11,335 Speaker 9: striple the laves and actually stripple the leaves on the 207 00:11:11,415 --> 00:11:15,055 Speaker 9: rubb as well. How can't we control them? 208 00:11:15,615 --> 00:11:17,935 Speaker 3: I am not one hundred percent sure if they are 209 00:11:18,015 --> 00:11:20,655 Speaker 3: grass grub it could be. But we also have a 210 00:11:20,655 --> 00:11:23,535 Speaker 3: bronze beetle in the north, and I'm not sure if 211 00:11:23,535 --> 00:11:25,455 Speaker 3: they go as far south as gy Cota. I must 212 00:11:25,495 --> 00:11:28,975 Speaker 3: look that up actually, But yes, the beetles themselves are 213 00:11:29,015 --> 00:11:32,415 Speaker 3: creatures that like to eat leaves and sometimes also fruits 214 00:11:32,535 --> 00:11:35,535 Speaker 3: or beginning fruits if you like. And that is basically 215 00:11:35,615 --> 00:11:37,735 Speaker 3: to give them a good if you like, body for 216 00:11:37,895 --> 00:11:40,495 Speaker 3: mating and laying eggs in the soil so they can 217 00:11:41,055 --> 00:11:43,455 Speaker 3: so their kids can come back to your place next year. 218 00:11:45,535 --> 00:11:48,655 Speaker 3: So what do you do with exact yep, I know 219 00:11:48,735 --> 00:11:50,255 Speaker 3: we used to have them in Auckland a lot. That 220 00:11:50,415 --> 00:11:53,135 Speaker 3: was amazing, absolutely brilliant. So what are you going to 221 00:11:53,215 --> 00:11:56,015 Speaker 3: do with it? It's very tricky. The best thing to 222 00:11:56,055 --> 00:11:58,575 Speaker 3: do is to have, if you like, a repellent on 223 00:11:58,655 --> 00:12:01,495 Speaker 3: there or something they really don't like, and that could 224 00:12:01,575 --> 00:12:08,935 Speaker 3: be something like an insecticide that is really okay, what 225 00:12:09,015 --> 00:12:14,735 Speaker 3: can you use success You can try that. It does 226 00:12:14,775 --> 00:12:16,975 Speaker 3: cetporus at the same time, by the way. 227 00:12:16,855 --> 00:12:20,415 Speaker 9: Yeah, go on, yeah, because I was frying the trees 228 00:12:20,615 --> 00:12:27,535 Speaker 9: with one that was Oh it wasn't a shield, but 229 00:12:27,615 --> 00:12:31,455 Speaker 9: it was. Yeah, it was a spry that and that 230 00:12:31,855 --> 00:12:34,655 Speaker 9: it was supposed to keep them sticks away, and they 231 00:12:34,735 --> 00:12:40,695 Speaker 9: just keep eating and you know, dive come out at nighttime. 232 00:12:40,815 --> 00:12:43,375 Speaker 9: They just become an absolute swarm. 233 00:12:44,175 --> 00:12:46,735 Speaker 3: Okay, DoD here comes to good news. Honestly, this is 234 00:12:46,855 --> 00:12:49,335 Speaker 3: this is true. If you have a tree or a 235 00:12:49,375 --> 00:12:51,775 Speaker 3: shrub and you get somebody eating the leaves off, that 236 00:12:51,935 --> 00:12:54,535 Speaker 3: is the least of the worry for the tree. It 237 00:12:54,615 --> 00:12:57,415 Speaker 3: won't die as a result. It might look a bit silly, 238 00:12:57,535 --> 00:13:01,135 Speaker 3: but it will replace those leaves really, really quickly. It 239 00:13:01,255 --> 00:13:04,495 Speaker 3: is the step sucking bugs that can do all sorts 240 00:13:04,495 --> 00:13:08,415 Speaker 3: of damage to your trees. Theers like beetles and caterpillars 241 00:13:08,575 --> 00:13:12,055 Speaker 3: are of no if you like health concern to the tree. 242 00:13:12,215 --> 00:13:15,055 Speaker 3: So I wouldn't be too worried about it at all. 243 00:13:16,775 --> 00:13:21,335 Speaker 9: Okay, so the young trees, they they'll just leave up. 244 00:13:21,455 --> 00:13:23,055 Speaker 9: Well last year they leaped up again. 245 00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:27,535 Speaker 3: But that's what I mean.

And now I can't hear you, 304 00:16:41,815 --> 00:16:44,535 Speaker 3: but what's wrong with your letters? 305 00:16:44,695 --> 00:16:49,055 Speaker 10: There's something. It's about the size. It's a little bit 306 00:16:49,095 --> 00:16:52,855 Speaker 10: smaller than an ant, and it's white, and it's eating 307 00:16:52,935 --> 00:16:55,935 Speaker 10: my leaders and of course the leaves. 308 00:16:56,335 --> 00:16:59,535 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it might not be Yeah, Okay, The question 309 00:16:59,615 --> 00:17:03,015 Speaker 3: here is who started it? If you talk about something 310 00:17:03,015 --> 00:17:06,655 Speaker 3: as small as that, it might be springtails. Spring are 311 00:17:06,735 --> 00:17:10,855 Speaker 3: white creatures that are literally creatures that don't eat the plants, 312 00:17:10,895 --> 00:17:13,895 Speaker 3: but they actually make the plant that it's been attacked 313 00:17:14,175 --> 00:17:19,655 Speaker 3: to decompose into compost. But the question is who causes 314 00:17:19,895 --> 00:17:22,575 Speaker 3: the plants to be decomposing? You know what I mean 315 00:17:22,615 --> 00:17:25,775 Speaker 3: to go off? And it could be things like wireworms, 316 00:17:26,135 --> 00:17:28,375 Speaker 3: It could be slugs and snails. It could be a 317 00:17:28,375 --> 00:17:32,295 Speaker 3: whole lot of different things. Those little springtails are the 318 00:17:32,335 --> 00:17:37,295 Speaker 3: ones that literally recycle the stuff after when it's dying. 319 00:17:38,255 --> 00:17:41,415 Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? Cause? The cause and cause, 320 00:17:41,575 --> 00:17:46,295 Speaker 3: the cause and effect yeah, there were hard to tell. 321 00:17:46,095 --> 00:17:53,095 Speaker 10: What what maybe I think, okay, is this year I'm 322 00:17:53,135 --> 00:17:55,895 Speaker 10: going to have no lelesses of this keeps up. So 323 00:17:56,135 --> 00:17:59,215 Speaker 10: do you think after the lettuce and tomatoes and we 324 00:17:59,295 --> 00:18:01,615 Speaker 10: go into a new season, if I just leave the 325 00:18:01,655 --> 00:18:04,975 Speaker 10: bead with nothing growing in it, will let's let knock 326 00:18:04,975 --> 00:18:05,375 Speaker 10: them off. 327 00:18:06,095 --> 00:18:08,655 Speaker 3: It depends on what the problem is. I can't tell 328 00:18:08,655 --> 00:18:10,575 Speaker 3: you what exactly the problem is. I think the spring 329 00:18:10,655 --> 00:18:13,455 Speaker 3: Tales are basically cleaning up after the mess, so we 330 00:18:13,495 --> 00:18:16,055 Speaker 3: need to know who done it first.
