1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,413 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,453 Speaker 1: from News Talks. 3 00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:14,413 Speaker 2: A'd be hey, minusesoul living on News Talks, it'd be 4 00:00:14,533 --> 00:00:17,333 Speaker 2: you were Jack Tame. Root climb passes our men in 5 00:00:17,453 --> 00:00:18,493 Speaker 2: the garden, God the. 6 00:00:18,533 --> 00:00:21,853 Speaker 3: Root Cura Jack. I love the little comment you got 7 00:00:21,853 --> 00:00:24,613 Speaker 3: from one of the listeners about the railway stations. 8 00:00:24,773 --> 00:00:27,733 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm a I'm a big fan. I love 9 00:00:27,733 --> 00:00:29,733 Speaker 2: a bit of infrastructure, but a bit of mass transit 10 00:00:30,133 --> 00:00:33,213 Speaker 2: subterranean infrastructure is certainly my cup of tea. And you've 11 00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,133 Speaker 2: you've put me in a note this morning to say that, actually, 12 00:00:37,413 --> 00:00:39,533 Speaker 2: if we want to get a good sense of how 13 00:00:39,573 --> 00:00:42,333 Speaker 2: to complete a rail netwhere we shouldn't be looking to infrastructure. 14 00:00:42,373 --> 00:00:44,253 Speaker 2: We should be looking to a slime mold. 15 00:00:45,293 --> 00:00:48,053 Speaker 3: That's right. I just thought that is such a good story. 16 00:00:48,613 --> 00:00:55,333 Speaker 3: Slide molds. If you like cellular creatures that live in 17 00:00:54,973 --> 00:01:00,453 Speaker 3: in companies, they for like in large machine things. Whatever 18 00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:03,533 Speaker 3: they live there they themselves anyway. But what they do 19 00:01:03,533 --> 00:01:06,333 Speaker 3: do is they eat. They eat oat flakes, for instance. 20 00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,253 Speaker 3: And what some people have done in Tokyo was they 21 00:01:09,293 --> 00:01:13,813 Speaker 3: put a met of tokyo in on the table and 22 00:01:13,893 --> 00:01:17,733 Speaker 3: on every place where they wanted a station, they put 23 00:01:17,773 --> 00:01:21,173 Speaker 3: an oat flake. They put a colony of slime molds 24 00:01:21,213 --> 00:01:23,213 Speaker 3: in the middle in the main station, if you like, 25 00:01:23,613 --> 00:01:27,733 Speaker 3: and see what would happen. And these blinking things without 26 00:01:27,773 --> 00:01:34,253 Speaker 3: a brain literally copied the Tokyo railway system with including 27 00:01:34,893 --> 00:01:39,573 Speaker 3: very much improved systems of getting there better, quicker and shorter. 28 00:01:39,773 --> 00:01:42,853 Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, that's amazing. It's incredible, right like that they've 29 00:01:42,853 --> 00:01:46,493 Speaker 2: worked out the most efficient way between those different stations, 30 00:01:46,573 --> 00:01:48,733 Speaker 2: or you know, the most efficient way to build a network. Yeah, 31 00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:50,533 Speaker 2: it's incredible, incredible. 32 00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:53,333 Speaker 3: That's there. You go anyway. I just want to tell 33 00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:55,653 Speaker 3: you because this is good fun. Ended you can check 34 00:01:55,693 --> 00:01:56,973 Speaker 3: it on the website again. 35 00:01:58,213 --> 00:02:01,093 Speaker 2: So when was it not usually thinking about like doing 36 00:02:01,093 --> 00:02:03,733 Speaker 2: a whole lot in the garden, except for crossing wilds 37 00:02:03,733 --> 00:02:05,613 Speaker 2: and hoping for things to get warmer and drier. But 38 00:02:06,013 --> 00:02:07,893 Speaker 2: there are actually a couple of bits and pieces we 39 00:02:07,973 --> 00:02:08,933 Speaker 2: should be getting onto. 40 00:02:09,933 --> 00:02:13,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was getting sick of it, you know, Gosh, 41 00:02:13,053 --> 00:02:15,173 Speaker 3: it was cold again last night, blah blah blah. And 42 00:02:15,173 --> 00:02:19,293 Speaker 3: then I thought, hell's bells. Strawberries. I usually plant them 43 00:02:19,293 --> 00:02:21,853 Speaker 3: a bit earlier than this, And I thought this was 44 00:02:21,893 --> 00:02:24,533 Speaker 3: something that because you get a very negative way of 45 00:02:24,573 --> 00:02:28,213 Speaker 3: looking at on and I thought totally forgotten about it. 46 00:02:28,253 --> 00:02:31,253 Speaker 3: So here you go strawberries. You can plant them now, honestly, 47 00:02:31,653 --> 00:02:35,173 Speaker 3: and they actually they actually would like a bit of 48 00:02:35,213 --> 00:02:38,693 Speaker 3: a frostry area, so that's quite important. But we have 49 00:02:38,933 --> 00:02:42,853 Speaker 3: many cool varieties and if you want some of those, 50 00:02:42,973 --> 00:02:46,053 Speaker 3: usually the Zealand Gardener will give you the latest varieties 51 00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:48,093 Speaker 3: and so on and support. You can read it all 52 00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:51,533 Speaker 3: in there. But kamar Rosa is my favorite here in Canterbury. 53 00:02:51,933 --> 00:02:54,373 Speaker 3: It does really well on the hills but also on 54 00:02:54,413 --> 00:02:58,253 Speaker 3: the on the on the flats, and it grows quite quickly, 55 00:02:58,653 --> 00:03:03,693 Speaker 3: coming o real, coming, oh real, some Spanish it is 56 00:03:03,733 --> 00:03:09,493 Speaker 3: Spanish actually, and then the short day varieties as well, 57 00:03:09,533 --> 00:03:14,013 Speaker 3: like Aromas, Seascape and Sandri Andreos. All these things are 58 00:03:14,053 --> 00:03:17,173 Speaker 3: now available at your guard center. And I just wanted 59 00:03:17,173 --> 00:03:20,573 Speaker 3: to say, please don't forget because I don't know about you, 60 00:03:20,653 --> 00:03:25,373 Speaker 3: but I love the strawberries there thinking brilliant. 61 00:03:25,533 --> 00:03:28,013 Speaker 2: So I just this is a bit cheeky. I just 62 00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:31,333 Speaker 2: left mine in and they still seem to be alive. 63 00:03:31,493 --> 00:03:33,533 Speaker 2: They still they're still doing. I've got some straw but 64 00:03:33,533 --> 00:03:35,173 Speaker 2: the straw is kind of critical. I probably should have 65 00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:37,333 Speaker 2: had straw down lotarlier. To be perfectly honest, but the 66 00:03:37,373 --> 00:03:40,093 Speaker 2: straws quite quite critical for the frosty areas right. 67 00:03:40,933 --> 00:03:43,133 Speaker 3: There are The straw is important to actually keep them 68 00:03:43,213 --> 00:03:48,733 Speaker 3: developing fruit often soil. That's number one, of course. Yeah, no, 69 00:03:48,813 --> 00:03:51,613 Speaker 3: that's absolutely that's correct. You've got it right. But the 70 00:03:51,653 --> 00:03:53,813 Speaker 3: other thing you could could have could have done is 71 00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:57,373 Speaker 3: leave them in the ground, but take the runners off, 72 00:03:57,653 --> 00:04:00,453 Speaker 3: and those runners, if you plant those further up, will 73 00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:01,693 Speaker 3: become new plants. 74 00:04:01,733 --> 00:04:03,213 Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, that's great. 75 00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:07,293 Speaker 3: So that's another way of doing it. Yeah, actual, next 76 00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:09,413 Speaker 3: year we're extually and I must really put a note 77 00:04:09,413 --> 00:04:13,013 Speaker 3: in my diary. And then there is this thing called rubib. 78 00:04:13,213 --> 00:04:15,213 Speaker 3: Now I don't mind rubab. I like it with my 79 00:04:15,933 --> 00:04:18,173 Speaker 3: with all my stuff, the crumbles and the fruity bits 80 00:04:18,173 --> 00:04:20,973 Speaker 3: for breakfast and all that sort of stuff. And but 81 00:04:21,093 --> 00:04:23,813 Speaker 3: here you go. These things are actually very tolerant off 82 00:04:23,813 --> 00:04:26,293 Speaker 3: a bit of frost. They don't mind a bit of frost. 83 00:04:26,373 --> 00:04:29,413 Speaker 3: In fact, I saw them in Mongolia in the desert 84 00:04:29,733 --> 00:04:33,973 Speaker 3: where inter time it's when it's twenty Oh yeah, it's cool. 85 00:04:34,093 --> 00:04:38,333 Speaker 3: Actually I also find weather there. Why you made you there? Yep? 86 00:04:38,773 --> 00:04:42,933 Speaker 3: The after nothern New Zealand variety. But the Gondwana variety, 87 00:04:43,013 --> 00:04:48,893 Speaker 3: the Gondwana variety, Edwin yesix no NPI no please, no, no, 88 00:04:48,893 --> 00:04:51,853 Speaker 3: no anyway, but that's the other thing. So good ever, 89 00:04:51,893 --> 00:04:53,413 Speaker 3: look at that. This is a good time to look 90 00:04:53,413 --> 00:04:57,173 Speaker 3: after you, Rubab and you'll get them going, make no mistake. 91 00:04:56,853 --> 00:04:58,813 Speaker 2: All right, sir, You have a goat weekend.
