Can you hear me, Peter, because we 7 00:00:18,095 --> 00:00:18,375 Speaker 4: had some. 8 00:00:18,375 --> 00:00:20,975 Speaker 2: Trouble such, I can hear you fine? Can you hear me? 9 00:00:21,415 --> 00:00:23,415 Speaker 4: Yeah? I can hear you totally, mate, it's not a 10 00:00:23,455 --> 00:00:23,895 Speaker 4: big deal. 11 00:00:24,215 --> 00:00:27,375 Speaker 2: We can both hear the callers. Then we're winning, I 12 00:00:27,415 --> 00:00:27,735 Speaker 2: think so. 13 00:00:28,015 --> 00:00:29,535 Speaker 4: I think we're going to do that. You know we 14 00:00:29,695 --> 00:00:31,215 Speaker 4: are going to win somehow. 15 00:00:32,615 --> 00:00:34,055 Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely. 16 00:00:34,095 --> 00:00:36,735 Speaker 4: Hey, by the way, Bora just quickly. Yes, it's late 17 00:00:36,815 --> 00:00:40,495 Speaker 4: October early November when they start flying, and that means 18 00:00:40,495 --> 00:00:44,935 Speaker 4: that you spray the if you like, the wood that 19 00:00:45,055 --> 00:00:48,535 Speaker 4: has got the borer with that particular safe works aerosol, 20 00:00:49,135 --> 00:00:51,335 Speaker 4: and you do that so that when they come out 21 00:00:51,415 --> 00:00:54,375 Speaker 4: they feel really sick because they say, who's been spraying 22 00:00:54,415 --> 00:00:56,935 Speaker 4: this stuff that I'm just coming out of and before 23 00:00:57,055 --> 00:00:59,415 Speaker 4: they're actually trying to mate. But that's not going to help, 24 00:00:59,775 --> 00:01:01,175 Speaker 4: not going to work, not like. 25 00:01:01,095 --> 00:01:04,175 Speaker 2: That, right it's they don't find it in effort? 26 00:01:04,255 --> 00:01:07,335 Speaker 4: Is yet it's not an effort right now? 27 00:01:08,615 --> 00:01:11,055 Speaker 2: If you were to do it now, would it be 28 00:01:11,095 --> 00:01:12,815 Speaker 2: too late and an effectual. 29 00:01:13,255 --> 00:01:16,255 Speaker 4: You might be okay if they are in a slightly 30 00:01:16,415 --> 00:01:19,655 Speaker 4: later phase. The reason I use it residual is so 31 00:01:19,815 --> 00:01:22,895 Speaker 4: you have at least a month or six weeks of 32 00:01:23,135 --> 00:01:25,815 Speaker 4: when the beatles come out later they will still be 33 00:01:25,895 --> 00:01:28,695 Speaker 4: knocked about, so you can have a go with it. Yeah, 34 00:01:28,735 --> 00:01:31,415 Speaker 4: go try your local safe works. Safe works with the 35 00:01:31,695 --> 00:01:34,535 Speaker 4: X they've got that particular material that we invented for 36 00:01:34,695 --> 00:01:38,615 Speaker 4: aircraft spraying, and have a go at it. Yeah. 37 00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:41,975 Speaker 2: Yes, because I've noticed little piles of sawdust and my 38 00:01:42,295 --> 00:01:45,615 Speaker 2: precious wood pile underneath the house where I fossic away 39 00:01:45,655 --> 00:01:48,935 Speaker 2: all my little bits of architraves and pieces of timber 40 00:01:49,015 --> 00:01:50,935 Speaker 2: and all the rest of it. Because you never know 41 00:01:50,935 --> 00:01:52,975 Speaker 2: where you're going to need it, is my theory. 42 00:01:53,055 --> 00:01:53,895 Speaker 4: Are you Dutch or. 43 00:01:57,415 --> 00:01:57,895 Speaker 5: Yeah? 44 00:01:57,975 --> 00:02:01,455 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right saying that. The other day I went 45 00:02:01,495 --> 00:02:04,455 Speaker 2: to a job as an old school hall and they went, oh, 46 00:02:04,455 --> 00:02:06,095 Speaker 2: there's a bit of rot in that corner and we 47 00:02:06,095 --> 00:02:08,535 Speaker 2: need a little, you know, like a meter long piece 48 00:02:08,575 --> 00:02:11,855 Speaker 2: of this particular profile. And I went home and fossicked 49 00:02:11,855 --> 00:02:14,935 Speaker 2: around and sure enough I had exactly they they needed. 50 00:02:14,975 --> 00:02:17,095 Speaker 4: So and doesn't that feel good? 51 00:02:17,175 --> 00:02:17,335 Speaker 5: Oh? 52 00:02:17,535 --> 00:02:19,935 Speaker 2: Mate? Absolutely, because you guarantee if I had to cut 53 00:02:19,935 --> 00:02:22,695 Speaker 2: it up for firewood, I would have needed next week. Anyway, 54 00:02:22,735 --> 00:02:24,935 Speaker 2: we're not talking about building. We're talking about the garden, 55 00:02:25,095 --> 00:02:30,415 Speaker 2: and let's get into it. Broad Beans, Peter, good morning, Yeah, 56 00:02:30,455 --> 00:02:30,895 Speaker 2: good morning. 57 00:02:32,335 --> 00:02:34,855 Speaker 4: What can we do with you? Peter? Yeah. 58 00:02:35,095 --> 00:02:37,335 Speaker 5: And I've got a good crop of broad beans that 59 00:02:37,615 --> 00:02:41,655 Speaker 5: currently about twelve hundred high, and the pods of the 60 00:02:41,735 --> 00:02:46,095 Speaker 5: lower area just about ready to pack. But the top, 61 00:02:46,295 --> 00:02:49,775 Speaker 5: top part of it, something is eating all the leaves 62 00:02:50,295 --> 00:02:54,495 Speaker 5: and it's black and right round where they're eating, and 63 00:02:55,135 --> 00:02:58,855 Speaker 5: also causing the new pods coming through to blacken as 64 00:02:58,895 --> 00:03:01,975 Speaker 5: well when some of them are dying. I was thinking 65 00:03:01,975 --> 00:03:05,015 Speaker 5: of splaying it with Conqueror, but I think it's probably 66 00:03:05,015 --> 00:03:06,615 Speaker 5: too late. When I'm new starting into. 67 00:03:06,495 --> 00:03:12,175 Speaker 4: Picking, it might be. So tell me about the eating pattern. 68 00:03:12,575 --> 00:03:15,775 Speaker 4: Is it small holes on the edges that are taken off, 69 00:03:15,815 --> 00:03:17,855 Speaker 4: It's not whole big. 70 00:03:17,735 --> 00:03:21,735 Speaker 5: Chunks out of the leaf and here big chunks black 71 00:03:21,775 --> 00:03:24,095 Speaker 5: and right round the edge with eating. 72 00:03:25,335 --> 00:03:28,935 Speaker 4: Oh oh, are you have you got possums? 73 00:03:30,015 --> 00:03:31,215 Speaker 5: No? 74 00:03:31,215 --> 00:03:34,335 Speaker 4: No, I'm just asking because because sometimes that can happen 75 00:03:34,335 --> 00:03:36,815 Speaker 4: from the top, but they usually chew a lot more. 76 00:03:39,215 --> 00:03:43,015 Speaker 5: I find that one of the main things that they 77 00:03:43,055 --> 00:03:46,775 Speaker 5: say on the on the pack of the U conqueror 78 00:03:47,455 --> 00:03:50,175 Speaker 5: they list to the end. It's probably one of those. 79 00:03:50,215 --> 00:03:53,655 Speaker 4: I think, Yeah, okay, have it go with that otherwise 80 00:03:53,855 --> 00:03:57,615 Speaker 4: otherwise yeah, and conqueror oil would be good. But if 81 00:03:57,615 --> 00:04:01,215 Speaker 4: it differences caterpillars, which I can't think of what. Actually, 82 00:04:01,255 --> 00:04:02,615 Speaker 4: there might be some weavils doing that. 83 00:04:03,135 --> 00:04:06,255 Speaker 5: There are some anything on the one one little green 84 00:04:06,375 --> 00:04:10,015 Speaker 5: in green back, but found on one of them, but 85 00:04:10,055 --> 00:04:13,215 Speaker 5: the trend only one. Okay, would it be too late 86 00:04:13,815 --> 00:04:17,375 Speaker 5: to spray the ones we're going to be picking any day? 87 00:04:18,455 --> 00:04:21,175 Speaker 4: Well, with conquer oil, you don't have any problem. No, No, 88 00:04:21,335 --> 00:04:23,895 Speaker 4: you can wash it off that problem. No, And you 89 00:04:23,975 --> 00:04:26,775 Speaker 4: get the stuff from inside anyway, So that's it. Hey, 90 00:04:26,855 --> 00:04:29,495 Speaker 4: another I had another question, but I've forgotten what it 91 00:04:29,535 --> 00:04:33,215 Speaker 4: is already. Can you imagine that went quick? No? No, 92 00:04:33,255 --> 00:04:35,255 Speaker 4: I mean that because there was something else that was 93 00:04:35,295 --> 00:04:37,255 Speaker 4: going to say, But no, I've lost it. Oh yes, 94 00:04:37,855 --> 00:04:40,695 Speaker 4: you haven't gone outside at night to have a look. 95 00:04:43,055 --> 00:04:44,775 Speaker 4: I think you might want to do that. If there 96 00:04:44,815 --> 00:04:47,695 Speaker 4: is something there in the evening, like princess caterpillars that 97 00:04:47,815 --> 00:04:50,215 Speaker 4: come up and do this sort of stuff, then if 98 00:04:50,255 --> 00:04:52,415 Speaker 4: you have caterpillars, it might be an idea. To use 99 00:04:52,455 --> 00:04:56,615 Speaker 4: some material called Success, which is a Yates product that 100 00:04:56,655 --> 00:05:01,295 Speaker 4: does really good, good good repellent of caterpillars. 101 00:05:01,335 --> 00:05:04,935 Speaker 5: There you are, yeah, one of us the future crops 102 00:05:05,135 --> 00:05:07,895 Speaker 5: next to you. Again, what's a good time to sprader 103 00:05:08,015 --> 00:05:11,695 Speaker 5: to avoid all of this fast stage of the plant? 104 00:05:13,495 --> 00:05:16,655 Speaker 4: Hard to say. It depends entirely. You first have to 105 00:05:16,655 --> 00:05:20,215 Speaker 4: find evidence who's done it. Then we can talk further. 106 00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:22,335 Speaker 4: Does that make sense? 107 00:05:22,575 --> 00:05:24,895 Speaker 5: Okay, So conquer is going to be quite safe on 108 00:05:24,975 --> 00:05:26,215 Speaker 5: the one who we're picking. 109 00:05:26,375 --> 00:05:29,975 Speaker 4: It certainly will because it won't go and it's not systemic, 110 00:05:30,055 --> 00:05:32,375 Speaker 4: so it doesn't go into the beans that you're going 111 00:05:32,415 --> 00:05:33,335 Speaker 4: to eat now. 112 00:05:33,775 --> 00:05:36,815 Speaker 5: Yep, okay, thanks, more welcome. 113 00:05:36,815 --> 00:05:38,015 Speaker 6: Okay, all. 114 00:05:39,415 --> 00:05:42,495 Speaker 2: You have a great day. And another Peter, this time 115 00:05:42,535 --> 00:05:44,015 Speaker 2: about blueberries. 116 00:05:45,655 --> 00:05:52,415 Speaker 7: Years. Good morning day. I've got a blueberry bush. It's 117 00:05:52,455 --> 00:05:55,655 Speaker 7: in a wooden clatter box. I've had it for about 118 00:05:55,735 --> 00:06:03,455 Speaker 7: seven years and it's produced very very good blueberry crops. 119 00:06:03,935 --> 00:06:10,015 Speaker 7: Last year blueberries formed into fruit and then they just 120 00:06:10,575 --> 00:06:16,975 Speaker 7: shriveled up and died. And this year, this year, the 121 00:06:17,095 --> 00:06:20,255 Speaker 7: same thing appears to be happening. The fruit is forming 122 00:06:21,095 --> 00:06:23,615 Speaker 7: and starting to ripen, and then they just shrivel up 123 00:06:23,615 --> 00:06:28,975 Speaker 7: and die. I have fertilized the soil with acid fertilizer, 124 00:06:29,895 --> 00:06:35,575 Speaker 7: and the bushes looking extremely healthy. But I'm not sure 125 00:06:35,855 --> 00:06:39,375 Speaker 7: why these fruit are just shrilling up and dying. 126 00:06:41,055 --> 00:06:43,415 Speaker 4: Oh dear, oh dear, So it's the fruit. It's not 127 00:06:43,455 --> 00:06:45,335 Speaker 4: the leaves that are dying in this case. 128 00:06:45,415 --> 00:06:48,775 Speaker 7: No, no, no, no. The bush is very healthy, particularly 129 00:06:48,855 --> 00:06:50,375 Speaker 7: since I've fertilized it. 130 00:06:50,935 --> 00:06:55,095 Speaker 4: And you say they are shriveling up as they develop 131 00:06:55,175 --> 00:06:55,495 Speaker 4: if you. 132 00:06:55,575 --> 00:07:00,335 Speaker 7: Like, yes, yes, yes, so they form into into the 133 00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:06,135 Speaker 7: fruit themselves and then from there they just don't shrivel up. 134 00:07:06,935 --> 00:07:10,215 Speaker 4: That reminds me of and I have not grown a 135 00:07:10,215 --> 00:07:12,495 Speaker 4: lot of blueberries, but I remember there was a case 136 00:07:12,535 --> 00:07:17,375 Speaker 4: of nthrec noose, which is a disease and threk nose 137 00:07:17,655 --> 00:07:20,695 Speaker 4: a n th h r a c n o s. 138 00:07:21,615 --> 00:07:24,255 Speaker 4: It's a fruit rot if you like. And if you 139 00:07:24,295 --> 00:07:29,975 Speaker 4: can stop that by spraying a preventative funger side before 140 00:07:30,055 --> 00:07:35,135 Speaker 4: those you know, after the after those fruits are starting 141 00:07:35,175 --> 00:07:37,535 Speaker 4: to form, when they're still small, and you put a 142 00:07:37,535 --> 00:07:41,215 Speaker 4: good funger side on there. You could use probably something 143 00:07:41,255 --> 00:07:46,095 Speaker 4: like Yates Nature's Way fungal spray, which is a organic 144 00:07:46,375 --> 00:07:48,615 Speaker 4: so it's not going to be any trouble later. On 145 00:07:48,655 --> 00:07:53,535 Speaker 4: eating those berries. Yeah, but it will prevent that particular 146 00:07:53,615 --> 00:07:56,335 Speaker 4: thing from happening. I am not one hundred percent sure 147 00:07:56,415 --> 00:07:59,175 Speaker 4: if there is something you need more specific, but if 148 00:07:59,175 --> 00:08:02,935 Speaker 4: you google the name and threk nose or look it, 149 00:08:03,175 --> 00:08:06,615 Speaker 4: look it up and threcnose, you'll find that it might 150 00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:10,095 Speaker 4: it might work with that particular preventative material. 151 00:08:11,815 --> 00:08:12,735 Speaker 7: Okay, we'll try that. 152 00:08:13,335 --> 00:08:13,695 Speaker 4: Have a go. 153 00:08:14,095 --> 00:08:15,135 Speaker 7: Thank you very much. 154 00:08:15,175 --> 00:08:17,055 Speaker 4: More than welcome, Peter, Yes, Peter. 155 00:08:17,295 --> 00:08:20,015 Speaker 2: A quick text from Shane rud I have a hint 156 00:08:20,095 --> 00:08:23,855 Speaker 2: which is dying due to what I've been told is 157 00:08:24,255 --> 00:08:27,455 Speaker 2: weeping aphids. What spray can I use to get rid 158 00:08:27,495 --> 00:08:28,215 Speaker 2: of the aphids? 159 00:08:28,255 --> 00:08:28,535 Speaker 5: Please? 160 00:08:28,695 --> 00:08:30,935 Speaker 2: I've never heard of weeping aphens. 161 00:08:31,055 --> 00:08:36,415 Speaker 4: Or if I have not even heard of laughing aphids, screepers, 162 00:08:36,775 --> 00:08:39,855 Speaker 4: weeping aphids. I think that might be something to do 163 00:08:39,935 --> 00:08:43,215 Speaker 4: with the fact that they actually poop out honeyjew that 164 00:08:43,335 --> 00:08:46,415 Speaker 4: might be the weeping. But anyway, a hatch dying of 165 00:08:46,415 --> 00:08:51,735 Speaker 4: weeping apa no, I find it too, and that's too 166 00:08:51,775 --> 00:08:54,495 Speaker 4: unknown to me those terminologies, to be quite honest, I 167 00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:56,855 Speaker 4: don't know what that would be.

You exactly what it is. 172 00:09:07,415 --> 00:09:11,735 Speaker 4: So what scientists do They find and say an organism 173 00:09:11,775 --> 00:09:14,495 Speaker 4: that does this sort of damage, and they look up 174 00:09:14,535 --> 00:09:17,735 Speaker 4: the scientific name. And once you got a scientific name, 175 00:09:17,895 --> 00:09:20,015 Speaker 4: you can do within any language in the world and 176 00:09:20,055 --> 00:09:21,655 Speaker 4: you know exactly what you're talking about. 177 00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:24,775 Speaker 2: Right, it is important. 178 00:09:25,095 --> 00:09:25,215 Speaker 4: Uh. 179 00:09:25,495 --> 00:09:27,935 Speaker 2: And just before we go to the break, could you, Pete, 180 00:09:27,935 --> 00:09:29,855 Speaker 2: could you ask rud to give us the exact name 181 00:09:29,975 --> 00:09:32,855 Speaker 2: of the safe works aircraft space that will work on 182 00:09:32,895 --> 00:09:35,135 Speaker 2: the borer.

I want to 183 00:09:35,135 --> 00:09:35,975 Speaker 2: get the right one. 184 00:09:36,455 --> 00:09:39,175 Speaker 4: The right option is the one that they use as 185 00:09:39,175 --> 00:09:43,735 Speaker 4: a systemic, which means it's it goes into the animals 186 00:09:43,775 --> 00:09:47,095 Speaker 4: and it goes into the so you know it's a no, 187 00:09:47,295 --> 00:09:52,055 Speaker 4: not systemic, sorry, residual. So it stays on the surface. 188 00:09:52,455 --> 00:09:54,815 Speaker 4: And this is what they use for the holes for 189 00:09:54,935 --> 00:10:00,495 Speaker 4: the aircraft holds. That's another giveaway. 190 00:09:58,895 --> 00:10:02,295 Speaker 2: Residual residual. Wonderful. Right, we'll take a short break.

That's a lot 215 00:11:20,735 --> 00:11:25,095 Speaker 6: of there you go I've been in this house and 216 00:11:26,215 --> 00:11:30,175 Speaker 6: the west side of Hamilton for about twenty years and 217 00:11:30,735 --> 00:11:33,935 Speaker 6: only two streets away from wide open areas peat land 218 00:11:34,015 --> 00:11:38,855 Speaker 6: grass to the area and never be built on the orange tree, 219 00:11:38,975 --> 00:11:42,975 Speaker 6: the sanby and lemon and the Lisbon lemon. The oranges 220 00:11:43,055 --> 00:11:46,455 Speaker 6: were a very plentiful supply this year, and in fact 221 00:11:46,535 --> 00:11:50,015 Speaker 6: all the birds, I think minor or other larger birds 222 00:11:50,055 --> 00:11:52,415 Speaker 6: were taking all the fruit and leaving the skin on 223 00:11:52,455 --> 00:11:54,895 Speaker 6: the tree. So obviously I had to throw an itto 224 00:11:55,615 --> 00:11:58,975 Speaker 6: the sandbyn they don't touch. And my problem is the 225 00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:03,735 Speaker 6: thicker skinned lemons that are ripening nicely. Now. I'll go 226 00:12:03,815 --> 00:12:06,575 Speaker 6: out one day and two or three have no skin 227 00:12:06,735 --> 00:12:10,295 Speaker 6: left on them whatsoever. I've never seen a rat or 228 00:12:10,295 --> 00:12:12,695 Speaker 6: a cat, or an elephant or even a bird, and 229 00:12:12,735 --> 00:12:16,055 Speaker 6: there's no bird droppings under them. Who would be taking 230 00:12:16,135 --> 00:12:16,655 Speaker 6: my skin? 231 00:12:17,655 --> 00:12:19,935 Speaker 4: I'll tell you, I'll tell you what you listen for 232 00:12:19,975 --> 00:12:20,415 Speaker 4: at night. 233 00:12:24,375 --> 00:12:30,775 Speaker 6: Yeah, what wood pigeons I have? We have wood pigeons here, I. 234 00:12:30,695 --> 00:12:31,775 Speaker 4: Reckon, you've got bossums. 235 00:12:31,775 --> 00:12:33,815 Speaker 8: Boy, Well, why don't. 236 00:12:33,655 --> 00:12:37,135 Speaker 6: They leave some little black identifying marks? But I think 237 00:12:37,135 --> 00:12:40,375 Speaker 6: they're right a neighbours. But there's no dirt on the ground. 238 00:12:40,855 --> 00:12:43,655 Speaker 4: No, Oh, well, you mean booze. No, that's they don't 239 00:12:43,655 --> 00:12:45,895 Speaker 4: always pull directly under the tree where they are, but 240 00:12:45,895 --> 00:12:49,295 Speaker 4: they will do it somewhere. Yeah. Now that's classic bossom stuff. 241 00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:52,615 Speaker 4: I've had that in all the metropolis that I used 242 00:12:52,615 --> 00:12:53,895 Speaker 4: to live in. 243 00:12:54,695 --> 00:12:59,815 Speaker 6: Yeah, Auckland, you mean yeah, Okay, get on with it. 244 00:13:01,015 --> 00:13:02,975 Speaker 6: I'll throwing it over and see if they ripped in 245 00:13:03,055 --> 00:13:05,135 Speaker 6: it to piece. Thanks very much for you and have 246 00:13:05,215 --> 00:13:05,815 Speaker 6: a great day. 247 00:13:05,895 --> 00:13:08,295 Speaker 4: Thank you you too, mate, good good story. Bye. 248 00:13:08,775 --> 00:13:16,735 Speaker 2: Thank you very much given for that. And Jenny, Hello there, Hirod. 249 00:13:16,895 --> 00:13:26,295 Speaker 8: I'm bringing you a about flying ants. Yes, now, what 250 00:13:26,495 --> 00:13:30,215 Speaker 8: can I do about them? Because last year at this 251 00:13:30,495 --> 00:13:35,495 Speaker 8: time I bought the key week care no ants, burrier 252 00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:40,015 Speaker 8: spray and the ants, and but I can't find a 253 00:13:40,215 --> 00:13:45,575 Speaker 8: nest anywhere. And I checked on mister Google and they 254 00:13:45,735 --> 00:13:49,015 Speaker 8: said that this is the time that they're mating. And 255 00:13:49,055 --> 00:13:54,815 Speaker 8: they're congregating all over the window cells and in front 256 00:13:54,855 --> 00:14:04,575 Speaker 8: of the ranch sliders, on the cushions along the the 257 00:14:04,975 --> 00:14:05,335 Speaker 8: What is it? 258 00:14:05,735 --> 00:14:09,375 Speaker 4: I you know what they're doing though, Jenny, Jenny, I 259 00:14:09,415 --> 00:14:11,895 Speaker 4: can tell you what's got going on. These things are 260 00:14:11,935 --> 00:14:14,695 Speaker 4: coming out and they actually mate on the wing. So 261 00:14:14,775 --> 00:14:18,175 Speaker 4: they fly up and boys find girls and girls find boys, 262 00:14:18,295 --> 00:14:20,895 Speaker 4: and if it's not too windy like in Wellington, they 263 00:14:20,895 --> 00:14:25,295 Speaker 4: are usually reasonably successful. But it's when they come down 264 00:14:25,495 --> 00:14:27,135 Speaker 4: that you have to be a bit more worried about, 265 00:14:27,135 --> 00:14:29,015 Speaker 4: because they could either come back into your house or 266 00:14:29,015 --> 00:14:31,895 Speaker 4: they go to the neighbors. And that's mean. So you're 267 00:14:31,935 --> 00:14:36,335 Speaker 4: actually far too late with your idea of controlling them. 268 00:14:36,335 --> 00:14:39,175 Speaker 4: That should have happened before they fly out, to be 269 00:14:39,295 --> 00:14:42,975 Speaker 4: quite honest, and here comes to thing. This is a 270 00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:45,415 Speaker 4: couple of things you need to know about ants. They 271 00:14:45,575 --> 00:14:49,095 Speaker 4: all have their own territory, which means that if you 272 00:14:49,135 --> 00:14:52,255 Speaker 4: put a for instantant a bait station in one spot 273 00:14:52,335 --> 00:14:56,055 Speaker 4: in the house, that means you will only have that territory, 274 00:14:56,335 --> 00:14:58,695 Speaker 4: not the territory next door, to the left, to the right, 275 00:14:58,735 --> 00:15:02,775 Speaker 4: and above and below. So you'll need many different, if 276 00:15:02,815 --> 00:15:06,575 Speaker 4: you like, areas where you can put the bait stayations 277 00:15:06,655 --> 00:15:10,255 Speaker 4: down so that you have a large coverage of that bait. 278 00:15:10,815 --> 00:15:11,535 Speaker 4: Does that make sense? 279 00:15:11,535 --> 00:15:16,575 Speaker 8: Okay, well it does, yes, But I mean I've checked outside, 280 00:15:16,615 --> 00:15:21,375 Speaker 8: and I checked outside last year for a NISS but 281 00:15:21,575 --> 00:15:25,775 Speaker 8: couldn't find anything. Really, do you think I should get 282 00:15:25,815 --> 00:15:30,015 Speaker 8: an exterm terminator in and to get rid of them? 283 00:15:31,295 --> 00:15:34,215 Speaker 4: What? What sort of damage do they do to you? 284 00:15:35,415 --> 00:15:39,015 Speaker 8: Well, they're not doing any damage, they're just being a nuisance. 285 00:15:39,695 --> 00:15:40,255 Speaker 4: Well and that. 286 00:15:40,335 --> 00:15:42,975 Speaker 8: Case, thank you every day. 287 00:15:43,015 --> 00:15:46,415 Speaker 4: Well that's that's only for a couple of days while 288 00:15:46,455 --> 00:15:48,535 Speaker 4: they're actually on the wing, I would say, so I 289 00:15:48,575 --> 00:15:51,415 Speaker 4: wouldn't be too worried, to be quite honest. 290 00:15:52,455 --> 00:15:55,535 Speaker 8: Okay, all right, thank you Rhodes. 291 00:15:55,975 --> 00:16:00,335 Speaker 2: Thank you to bybe all the very busy Jenny, take care. Shane. 292 00:16:00,375 --> 00:16:02,095 Speaker 2: A question about eucalyptus. 293 00:16:03,175 --> 00:16:07,575 Speaker 9: Well, Hi, it's actually about live up in Auckland and 294 00:16:07,615 --> 00:16:12,615 Speaker 9: there seems to be a mass dying off of pine trees, 295 00:16:13,175 --> 00:16:19,015 Speaker 9: Eucalyptus trees, macrocarp trees, Cyprus shot belts. They just all 296 00:16:19,055 --> 00:16:21,015 Speaker 9: the leaves fall off and they just dropped there. 297 00:16:21,735 --> 00:16:25,055 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's for some of the ones you mentioned there, 298 00:16:25,135 --> 00:16:28,815 Speaker 4: for which some of the months you mentioned, like pines 299 00:16:28,815 --> 00:16:31,575 Speaker 4: and macrocarpers and that sort of conifers. There are some 300 00:16:31,695 --> 00:16:35,655 Speaker 4: cankers around that are new or recently more or less 301 00:16:35,695 --> 00:16:41,615 Speaker 4: recently got into New Zealand, and they have those particular symptoms, 302 00:16:41,615 --> 00:16:45,535 Speaker 4: to be quite honest. But the other the eucalyptus, well 303 00:16:45,615 --> 00:16:47,975 Speaker 4: they could have other symptoms, you know what I mean. 304 00:16:48,055 --> 00:16:53,015 Speaker 4: Every tree has its own suite of pests and especially diseases. 305 00:16:53,615 --> 00:16:56,975 Speaker 4: So this eucalyptus of yours, is that a big one? 306 00:16:57,015 --> 00:16:57,855 Speaker 4: Is that an old one? 307 00:16:58,855 --> 00:17:01,815 Speaker 9: Well, they're they're old, but it's more the pine trees 308 00:17:02,335 --> 00:17:04,775 Speaker 9: seems to be a mess dying off of pine trees 309 00:17:05,255 --> 00:17:06,695 Speaker 9: with aole different ages as well. 310 00:17:07,135 --> 00:17:07,375 Speaker 4: Yeah. 311 00:17:07,895 --> 00:17:09,895 Speaker 9: Yeah, they could be in a shelter belt, or that 312 00:17:09,975 --> 00:17:12,495 Speaker 9: could be in a plantation. There'll be ten per say 313 00:17:12,535 --> 00:17:14,815 Speaker 9: of them might be dropping dead, but there's a lot 314 00:17:14,855 --> 00:17:18,455 Speaker 9: of older, real granddaddy ones. They're all dying at the 315 00:17:18,455 --> 00:17:18,975 Speaker 9: same time. 316 00:17:19,455 --> 00:17:21,575 Speaker 4: Yeah, I can see that. I can see what you're saying. 317 00:17:21,815 --> 00:17:25,255 Speaker 4: What I would do. I cannot identify every tree with 318 00:17:25,415 --> 00:17:30,055 Speaker 4: every disease right through the telephone here to you. So 319 00:17:30,295 --> 00:17:33,615 Speaker 4: it might be an idea to pick up somebody who's local, 320 00:17:34,055 --> 00:17:38,775 Speaker 4: an eyeborist who knows diseases of trees, who can identify 321 00:17:38,935 --> 00:17:42,695 Speaker 4: what really the culprit is, and then you are going 322 00:17:42,775 --> 00:17:45,855 Speaker 4: to get an idea of what to do or whether 323 00:17:46,055 --> 00:17:48,655 Speaker 4: or not you can do something, and if so, what 324 00:17:48,815 --> 00:17:51,535 Speaker 4: to do because it's really difficult for me to guess 325 00:17:51,535 --> 00:17:54,615 Speaker 4: on that.

And 337 00:18:34,295 --> 00:18:37,175 Speaker 4: the reason is that the onion wheed is of course 338 00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:42,655 Speaker 4: very resistant to most of the sprays, so you need 339 00:18:42,695 --> 00:18:46,255 Speaker 4: a sticker with it and surffactant as well, And a 340 00:18:46,335 --> 00:18:48,775 Speaker 4: motrol and key we care weed weapon are really good 341 00:18:48,855 --> 00:18:52,735 Speaker 4: for those things if you use a surffactant on it 342 00:18:52,815 --> 00:18:53,335 Speaker 4: as well. 343 00:18:53,535 --> 00:18:56,575 Speaker 2: Right, people are asking about coddling moth as well. Spraying 344 00:18:56,575 --> 00:18:58,935 Speaker 2: for coddling moth on fruit trees. Too late, you can't 345 00:18:58,975 --> 00:19:00,335 Speaker 2: do it. Doesn't make any difference. 346 00:19:00,935 --> 00:19:04,455 Speaker 4: No, too late, okay, you should do it literally after 347 00:19:04,535 --> 00:19:08,775 Speaker 4: they dropped their flowers, So when the flowers have flowered, 348 00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:11,775 Speaker 4: that's when you do it. And at this stage I've looked, 349 00:19:11,815 --> 00:19:15,175 Speaker 4: I've used my med x and Medex is a brilliant 350 00:19:15,255 --> 00:19:16,575 Speaker 4: material that I said. 351 00:19:16,655 --> 00:19:20,295 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, hey Diane, how are you on good things? 352 00:19:20,295 --> 00:19:26,015 Speaker 3: Pete and high road high really simple.

Okay, no matter what time of it doesn't 358 00:19:40,175 --> 00:19:41,895 Speaker 3: matter what time of the year you grow. It literally 359 00:19:41,935 --> 00:19:47,695 Speaker 3: doesn't matter. I don't water during the sun. It gets fertilizer, 360 00:19:47,695 --> 00:19:51,335 Speaker 3: it gets a general fertilizer. It gets also blue stuff 361 00:19:51,335 --> 00:19:54,655 Speaker 3: as well because it's a leaf. So yeah, it's looked after. 362 00:19:54,895 --> 00:19:56,175 Speaker 8: But it's yeah, I can see. 363 00:19:56,375 --> 00:19:58,895 Speaker 3: I know the third got now is bolted to the sky. Again. 364 00:19:59,895 --> 00:20:04,255 Speaker 3: If I cut the seed heads off a naborious part, pask, 365 00:20:04,335 --> 00:20:05,375 Speaker 3: But what would that do? 366 00:20:05,495 --> 00:20:08,655 Speaker 4: Then you can try that? But well, have a go 367 00:20:09,175 --> 00:20:12,255 Speaker 4: I don't I don't know what it is what because 368 00:20:12,295 --> 00:20:15,615 Speaker 4: you you just literally mentioned all the things I would 369 00:20:15,655 --> 00:20:19,495 Speaker 4: have said. So your your bloody good, that's for sure. 370 00:20:19,655 --> 00:20:26,455 Speaker 4: So you tell those plants watch it, you're good. Chalks 371 00:20:26,735 --> 00:20:31,055 Speaker 4: have have a go at, you know when they start bolting. Ever, 372 00:20:31,095 --> 00:20:33,135 Speaker 4: go as soon as see the first sign of bolting, 373 00:20:33,615 --> 00:20:36,135 Speaker 4: smack that top bit out and see if you can 374 00:20:36,175 --> 00:20:38,775 Speaker 4: get a change. Yes, all right, so that's. 375 00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:40,775 Speaker 3: Where I met at the moment. I've noticed it yesterday, 376 00:20:40,815 --> 00:20:42,495 Speaker 3: so I'll go down today do that. 377 00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:46,815 Speaker 4: I agree. I agree with your with your method of 378 00:20:47,255 --> 00:20:48,415 Speaker 4: of of battling. 379 00:20:48,695 --> 00:20:52,775 Speaker 2: Good, brilliant. Thank you, Diane, all the very best to 380 00:20:52,815 --> 00:20:58,295 Speaker 2: you right now. Aphids just quickly. Some people are saying 381 00:20:58,335 --> 00:21:00,975 Speaker 2: this seems to be an abundance of aphids this year. 382 00:21:01,535 --> 00:21:03,575 Speaker 4: There is actually I've noticed quite a few of them. 383 00:21:03,655 --> 00:21:06,775 Speaker 4: It's really cool. And what you do with afits is 384 00:21:06,855 --> 00:21:08,975 Speaker 4: very simple. If you have a fits on, for instance, 385 00:21:09,015 --> 00:21:11,655 Speaker 4: fruit trees and things like that, you could use knem oil. 386 00:21:11,975 --> 00:21:15,015 Speaker 4: Make sure you do it underside and top side. You know, 387 00:21:15,055 --> 00:21:18,535 Speaker 4: all sides. If you can and do it repeatedly, that 388 00:21:18,655 --> 00:21:22,015 Speaker 4: means another week or two ten days further up. The 389 00:21:22,095 --> 00:21:26,015 Speaker 4: reason is once these aphorts have got young or have eggs. 390 00:21:26,095 --> 00:21:28,855 Speaker 4: If they have eggs, some don't actually or most of 391 00:21:28,895 --> 00:21:32,775 Speaker 4: them don't, you'll find that you need to re spray 392 00:21:32,815 --> 00:21:36,775 Speaker 4: it because the young ones might have not basically been brilliant. 393 00:21:36,815 --> 00:21:39,535 Speaker 4: If you're like laid by the mother. 394 00:21:39,775 --> 00:21:42,695 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.
