8
00:00:25,175 --> 00:00:28,615
Speaker 5: Good morning, pierrero Are you all well. It's lovely to

9
00:00:28,655 --> 00:00:31,615
Speaker 5: hear you flew over our house and to say good eight.

10
00:00:31,735 --> 00:00:33,815
Speaker 4: I waved you didn't wave back. I noticed it, but

11
00:00:34,455 --> 00:00:35,215
Speaker 4: I was there.

12
00:00:35,375 --> 00:00:38,015
Speaker 6: I saw you coming from Dunners.

13
00:00:37,535 --> 00:00:40,415
Speaker 4: I have to say. Flying over and looking out at

14
00:00:40,655 --> 00:00:44,095
Speaker 4: aker at Benks Peninsula. What a stunning view from thirty

15
00:00:44,095 --> 00:00:44,775
Speaker 4: thousand feet.

16
00:00:44,935 --> 00:00:48,815
Speaker 5: Wow, I know, it's just beautiful and you literally fly

17
00:00:49,255 --> 00:00:50,095
Speaker 5: over our place.

18
00:00:50,215 --> 00:00:53,135
Speaker 6: That's unbelieving, right, Yeah, it's cool.

19
00:00:53,175 --> 00:00:56,375
Speaker 4: Three o'clock departure, three teen departure. Actually I only just

20
00:00:56,415 --> 00:00:59,735
Speaker 4: bloody made the flight. But anyway, that's my own stupidity.

21
00:00:59,815 --> 00:01:03,055
Speaker 5: Anyway, Oh that's good. I was mucking around down in

22
00:01:03,055 --> 00:01:05,095
Speaker 5: the garden. Was really good fun. Actually it was good,

23
00:01:05,175 --> 00:01:07,935
Speaker 5: good day, nice and beautiful sort of stuff.

24
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:10,495
Speaker 4: Yeah, beautiful right by the way way.

25
00:01:10,895 --> 00:01:13,135
Speaker 5: You could if you would have looked properly, you could

26
00:01:13,135 --> 00:01:16,575
Speaker 5: have seen the guys the safety guys that are working

27
00:01:16,575 --> 00:01:20,815
Speaker 5: on Kennedy's Boys Road, chatting to each other, smoking and

28
00:01:20,935 --> 00:01:27,735
Speaker 5: basically being slower than frigging you know whatever. Then Continental

29
00:01:27,775 --> 00:01:32,895
Speaker 5: Da they're slower than Continental drift. That's probably the way unbelievable.

30
00:01:32,975 --> 00:01:35,695
Speaker 5: How these and then in a way never now don't

31
00:01:35,735 --> 00:01:37,215
Speaker 5: even get me by contrast.

32
00:01:37,375 --> 00:01:39,935
Speaker 4: So yesterday, as I was driving home over the bridge,

33
00:01:39,935 --> 00:01:41,575
Speaker 4: they had a note saying there's going to be work

34
00:01:41,615 --> 00:01:44,855
Speaker 4: on the bridge overnight. And as I was driving across

35
00:01:44,895 --> 00:01:47,535
Speaker 4: again the other way this morning, you know, just after five,

36
00:01:48,015 --> 00:01:51,175
Speaker 4: they'd strupped out enormous sections of the tarmac. They had

37
00:01:51,175 --> 00:01:53,175
Speaker 4: the cruise there, they were drying it off, they're doing

38
00:01:53,215 --> 00:01:55,375
Speaker 4: the sand blasting, they had the machines lined up for

39
00:01:55,415 --> 00:01:59,295
Speaker 4: the tar meaking. They are making great progress. So the you, yeah,

40
00:01:59,335 --> 00:02:00,815
Speaker 4: that's right. It goes both ways.

41
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:04,175
Speaker 5: Before we go to callers, and we got callers just

42
00:02:04,255 --> 00:02:08,975
Speaker 5: very quickly do things. Seeing you have been at Wingspan

43
00:02:09,455 --> 00:02:12,095
Speaker 5: on this eighth of March, they are working together with

44
00:02:12,255 --> 00:02:15,095
Speaker 5: Enviral Hub day of plenty and they're having a whole

45
00:02:15,175 --> 00:02:18,295
Speaker 5: day from nine till two thirty at Wingspan. Ten dollars

46
00:02:18,335 --> 00:02:22,175
Speaker 5: a person and it is basically a raptor's festival. Can

47
00:02:22,215 --> 00:02:23,055
Speaker 5: you imagine that?

48
00:02:23,575 --> 00:02:23,855
Speaker 6: Yes?

49
00:02:23,935 --> 00:02:25,895
Speaker 3: You yeah, yeah, you drive also.

50
00:02:25,615 --> 00:02:26,015
Speaker 6: Would't you?

51
00:02:26,335 --> 00:02:28,695
Speaker 5: So that's that's not the eight March. March the eighth,

52
00:02:28,735 --> 00:02:31,655
Speaker 5: So that's that's not that far away. And the second

53
00:02:31,695 --> 00:02:34,375
Speaker 5: thing is, remember we had quite a few questions about

54
00:02:36,175 --> 00:02:38,975
Speaker 5: what do you call these blinking things? Yeah, these these

55
00:02:39,175 --> 00:02:41,015
Speaker 5: these beans, you know, the.

56
00:02:41,775 --> 00:02:42,975
Speaker 4: Class scarlet runners.

57
00:02:42,975 --> 00:02:44,015
Speaker 6: Scarlet runners, you got it?

58
00:02:44,135 --> 00:02:47,815
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, okay, now they apparently This is a really

59
00:02:47,855 --> 00:02:51,135
Speaker 5: important point that I totally forgot about. Sometimes you can

60
00:02:51,135 --> 00:02:53,215
Speaker 5: have scarlet runners that you use for one or two

61
00:02:53,295 --> 00:02:56,655
Speaker 5: or three years and keep them going, and that in

62
00:02:56,695 --> 00:03:01,255
Speaker 5: itself can sometimes be the couse for not being very

63
00:03:01,535 --> 00:03:04,495
Speaker 5: nice in terms of their development. They will get into

64
00:03:04,575 --> 00:03:06,775
Speaker 5: all sorts of diseases and they start rotting.

65
00:03:07,095 --> 00:03:10,655
Speaker 6: So it does bey to have fresh seeds at least

66
00:03:10,735 --> 00:03:11,495
Speaker 6: every other.

67
00:03:11,455 --> 00:03:14,375
Speaker 5: Year, if not more often. So that is quite important.

68
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:17,455
Speaker 5: Other than that, we both agreed. It was Keith Hammett

69
00:03:17,455 --> 00:03:20,055
Speaker 5: and I we both agreed. I have not seen any

70
00:03:20,335 --> 00:03:24,775
Speaker 5: example of a new fungal disease on these things. That is,

71
00:03:24,895 --> 00:03:26,735
Speaker 5: you know, that came into the country as far as

72
00:03:26,735 --> 00:03:29,815
Speaker 5: we know. But there you are. So it's actually using

73
00:03:29,855 --> 00:03:31,255
Speaker 5: fresh seeds might help.

74
00:03:31,695 --> 00:03:33,935
Speaker 4: Now, also, just before we go to the calls. We

75
00:03:33,975 --> 00:03:36,615
Speaker 4: had a call earlier on someone who was going to

76
00:03:36,655 --> 00:03:40,135
Speaker 4: have some borer treatment done. Now, I presume that if

77
00:03:40,375 --> 00:03:44,375
Speaker 4: you can treat the environment so that it's unattractive for bora,

78
00:03:44,935 --> 00:03:48,175
Speaker 4: and that can be done anywhere from sort of September

79
00:03:48,215 --> 00:03:49,215
Speaker 4: through to March.

80
00:03:49,375 --> 00:03:52,135
Speaker 6: That's right, says, yes, you do it earlier, you do it.

81
00:03:52,175 --> 00:03:54,415
Speaker 5: No, not earlier, you do it from late September to

82
00:03:54,495 --> 00:03:58,175
Speaker 5: October November when those borers start flying, because what they

83
00:03:58,175 --> 00:04:00,415
Speaker 5: do is they go into the wood or onto the wood,

84
00:04:00,415 --> 00:04:03,935
Speaker 5: and they go lay eggs in the wood. And that

85
00:04:04,095 --> 00:04:06,095
Speaker 5: is what you want to stop. The moment they touched

86
00:04:06,135 --> 00:04:09,855
Speaker 5: the particular for instance, the stuff that they're for safe works.

87
00:04:10,095 --> 00:04:12,855
Speaker 5: When I spread it on wood, nobody will come on

88
00:04:12,895 --> 00:04:15,975
Speaker 5: there for more than ten seconds and not pay with

89
00:04:16,055 --> 00:04:19,495
Speaker 5: their life. And I'm talking about my little dialing little

90
00:04:19,575 --> 00:04:22,055
Speaker 5: creepy crawlees from the Netherlands and from Europe that have

91
00:04:22,295 --> 00:04:25,615
Speaker 5: made it to New Zealand. House borer they are real.

92
00:04:25,655 --> 00:04:28,495
Speaker 5: But when it comes to that, of course they recyclists.

93
00:04:28,535 --> 00:04:31,575
Speaker 5: They recycle wood of course into really good material. But

94
00:04:31,615 --> 00:04:32,495
Speaker 5: that's another story.

95
00:04:32,615 --> 00:04:35,015
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right, So there it is effective to

96
00:04:35,415 --> 00:04:39,495
Speaker 4: treat for that wonderful radio. Let's get amongst the callers, Jackie,

97
00:04:39,495 --> 00:04:40,495
Speaker 4: good morning.

98
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:45,695
Speaker 7: Oh, good morning, Rod. I have a problem with mushy spuds,

99
00:04:46,095 --> 00:04:49,975
Speaker 7: no made for the variety that I plant. The minute

100
00:04:50,015 --> 00:04:53,415
Speaker 7: they hit the pot with hot water and they turned

101
00:04:53,455 --> 00:04:56,055
Speaker 7: to mash. Can you tell me what the problem is please?

102
00:04:56,775 --> 00:04:58,855
Speaker 5: There could be a couple of things. Apparently there are

103
00:04:58,895 --> 00:05:02,855
Speaker 5: some bacteria that cause soft tubers, if you like, because

104
00:05:02,895 --> 00:05:06,415
Speaker 5: that's what it is. And also if you have of

105
00:05:06,495 --> 00:05:10,815
Speaker 5: them extended with extended exposure to heat and direct sunlight

106
00:05:11,335 --> 00:05:16,655
Speaker 5: quite often, especially when they're growing very had heat conditioned,

107
00:05:16,935 --> 00:05:19,255
Speaker 5: hot condition with a lot of moisture as well, they

108
00:05:19,295 --> 00:05:22,335
Speaker 5: can also shrivel and become all sort of awful.

109
00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:24,415
Speaker 6: Do they get green as well?

110
00:05:25,815 --> 00:05:28,135
Speaker 7: No, they don't get green, but they have a hard

111
00:05:28,295 --> 00:05:32,175
Speaker 7: circle in the middle of them, and marshay on the outside.

112
00:05:32,215 --> 00:05:35,215
Speaker 7: And I wondered whether it was either soil or water

113
00:05:35,455 --> 00:05:36,415
Speaker 7: or too much water.

114
00:05:37,175 --> 00:05:39,735
Speaker 5: Yeah, or it could be It's exactly that, and that

115
00:05:39,855 --> 00:05:43,055
Speaker 5: too much water could be the problem when you're looking

116
00:05:43,175 --> 00:05:44,615
Speaker 5: at fungal diseases.

117
00:05:44,895 --> 00:05:50,255
Speaker 2: That's it, yeah, exactly, Okay, thank you very much.

118
00:05:50,535 --> 00:05:52,975
Speaker 6: Less watering, bye bye, go welle.

119
00:05:53,575 --> 00:05:55,535
Speaker 4: All of this to you. Jackie, take care and Leon

120
00:05:55,575 --> 00:05:56,615
Speaker 4: a very good morning to you.

121
00:05:57,855 --> 00:06:00,695
Speaker 8: Good morning guys. Hey, I just got a question of

122
00:06:00,855 --> 00:06:07,015
Speaker 8: started some custard apples from seed, and quite a few

123
00:06:07,055 --> 00:06:10,415
Speaker 8: of them, and I'm just about to report them in

124
00:06:10,455 --> 00:06:13,735
Speaker 8: the bigger pots. But I just want to know when

125
00:06:13,775 --> 00:06:17,695
Speaker 8: they're mature enough to plant. Help. Where would I put

126
00:06:17,735 --> 00:06:19,295
Speaker 8: them and what would I feed them?

127
00:06:20,015 --> 00:06:23,335
Speaker 5: I have never grown them, probably because in christ Church

128
00:06:23,655 --> 00:06:28,735
Speaker 5: it's a bit too chilly for them. That's that's what

129
00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:35,895
Speaker 5: I think anyway. But anyway, unbelievable because Julie is really

130
00:06:35,975 --> 00:06:38,495
Speaker 5: keen on those custard apples and and and so on

131
00:06:38,495 --> 00:06:43,055
Speaker 5: and so forth, and of them have you where are you?

132
00:06:43,095 --> 00:06:45,855
Speaker 6: Where are you basedy?

133
00:06:47,135 --> 00:06:48,855
Speaker 5: Okay, so you should be able to do it there

134
00:06:49,735 --> 00:06:52,615
Speaker 5: Cherry Moyer and things like that and custody. Oh my god,

135
00:06:52,735 --> 00:06:56,015
Speaker 5: if we go to Australia, Julie will go absolutely bananas

136
00:06:56,055 --> 00:06:58,975
Speaker 5: about getting those, but they're always out of season when

137
00:06:59,015 --> 00:06:59,535
Speaker 5: we get there.

138
00:06:59,775 --> 00:07:02,695
Speaker 6: Never mind, I reckon you can do it.

139
00:07:02,775 --> 00:07:05,575
Speaker 5: And I have no idea when you started, because I've

140
00:07:05,615 --> 00:07:09,015
Speaker 5: never even at the opportunity to do that. I don't

141
00:07:09,055 --> 00:07:11,535
Speaker 5: know when you start this, but what I would say

142
00:07:11,655 --> 00:07:16,735
Speaker 5: is a nice sunny spot a nice soil, good soil

143
00:07:16,775 --> 00:07:20,735
Speaker 5: with organic material and good drainage. If you like, I

144
00:07:20,775 --> 00:07:23,375
Speaker 5: think that I'll do it that. I think that would

145
00:07:23,415 --> 00:07:25,535
Speaker 5: do it for you. And I would love to know

146
00:07:25,615 --> 00:07:26,535
Speaker 5: how you're going with that.

147
00:07:28,095 --> 00:07:29,015
Speaker 8: I sold it, you know.

148
00:07:30,055 --> 00:07:31,895
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. That's wonderful, Leo.

149
00:07:32,015 --> 00:07:35,375
Speaker 8: They're about they're about even eight weeks old now, so

150
00:07:35,415 --> 00:07:38,815
Speaker 8: they're not far away from being planted. But I just

151
00:07:38,815 --> 00:07:41,175
Speaker 8: don't want to plant them outsat it because it is

152
00:07:41,215 --> 00:07:42,935
Speaker 8: quite hot up here at the moment. I don't want

153
00:07:42,935 --> 00:07:43,935
Speaker 8: them to burn out, you know.

154
00:07:44,535 --> 00:07:46,455
Speaker 5: No, no, I can imagine. But tell me where'd you

155
00:07:46,495 --> 00:07:50,135
Speaker 5: get the seeds from from? From a fruit that I suppose.

156
00:07:50,775 --> 00:07:55,215
Speaker 8: No, my neighbor's got a custard apple tree and he

157
00:07:55,295 --> 00:07:57,015
Speaker 8: gave me one, and I love them. And I kicked

158
00:07:57,015 --> 00:07:59,535
Speaker 8: all the seeds and dried them and it took about

159
00:07:59,535 --> 00:08:01,775
Speaker 8: a month for them to germinate and come up. But

160
00:08:02,055 --> 00:08:03,255
Speaker 8: they're cranking now.

161
00:08:04,335 --> 00:08:07,095
Speaker 6: Oh man, this is amazing. That's wonderful.

162
00:08:08,295 --> 00:08:11,455
Speaker 5: Yeah, gosh, I wish I could grow them here. You

163
00:08:11,495 --> 00:08:14,375
Speaker 5: know what, I should try that one day, just ever.

164
00:08:14,335 --> 00:08:17,175
Speaker 8: Go nor Tunnel Hill.

165
00:08:17,895 --> 00:08:18,615
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah.

166
00:08:18,655 --> 00:08:22,015
Speaker 5: But the problem is the trees will grow reasonably sargable

167
00:08:22,015 --> 00:08:26,295
Speaker 5: after a while, and then I need to.

168
00:08:26,175 --> 00:08:29,135
Speaker 8: Build a true story tunnel hills.

169
00:08:29,975 --> 00:08:32,895
Speaker 6: Yeah that you need a builder who doesn't talk. There

170
00:08:32,935 --> 00:08:39,695
Speaker 6: you go, okay, God, you take care.

171
00:08:40,935 --> 00:08:43,015
Speaker 4: Fantastic. Very good morning to you.

172
00:08:44,175 --> 00:08:44,935
Speaker 8: Yeah, good morning.

173
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:48,055
Speaker 6: What can we do with you? Mate?

174
00:08:49,255 --> 00:08:54,415
Speaker 2: Yeah, hell's pretty I've just got a couple of questions

175
00:08:54,495 --> 00:08:59,655
Speaker 2: for you. If I planted potatoes, now, would I get

176
00:08:59,695 --> 00:09:04,935
Speaker 2: a result? I'm living in Auckland, lovely climate.

177
00:09:06,095 --> 00:09:07,055
Speaker 9: I don't.

178
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:11,895
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't know.

179
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:14,135
Speaker 5: I think you might be on the I was actually

180
00:09:14,215 --> 00:09:17,095
Speaker 5: thinking of writing a little thing for my check tame

181
00:09:17,175 --> 00:09:21,095
Speaker 5: sort of segment about the last call, you know, for

182
00:09:21,095 --> 00:09:24,535
Speaker 5: for growing vegetables, and I think you might be.

183
00:09:24,775 --> 00:09:25,735
Speaker 6: You might be a bit late.

184
00:09:25,775 --> 00:09:30,295
Speaker 5: But then again, there might be professional potato grows that say, no,

185
00:09:30,455 --> 00:09:32,295
Speaker 5: you can do it if you do this, this and this.

186
00:09:32,535 --> 00:09:37,015
Speaker 6: But I am not a potato grower at all. I

187
00:09:37,175 --> 00:09:37,655
Speaker 6: never do that.

188
00:09:39,655 --> 00:09:42,695
Speaker 5: Yeams, I think fine, I've got yems growing am in fact,

189
00:09:42,695 --> 00:09:45,215
Speaker 5: I need to harvest them.

190
00:09:43,975 --> 00:09:46,175
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've got them.

191
00:09:46,015 --> 00:09:49,855
Speaker 2: Ground five yams. Now that they would come through.

192
00:09:50,815 --> 00:09:52,935
Speaker 6: They might come through if you're in Auckland.

193
00:09:53,055 --> 00:09:55,855
Speaker 5: If you if you've got not too cold weather and

194
00:09:55,935 --> 00:09:57,535
Speaker 5: not too wet weather, you should be fine.

195
00:09:57,815 --> 00:10:01,895
Speaker 2: I'd say, see, the thing is route as you will

196
00:10:02,255 --> 00:10:04,095
Speaker 2: well know, the seasons jainting.

197
00:10:04,895 --> 00:10:07,255
Speaker 6: Have you noticed have you noticed.

198
00:10:08,415 --> 00:10:09,895
Speaker 2: Well, where's the plants noticed?

199
00:10:10,335 --> 00:10:13,455
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly. Oh, it's just unbelievable the things that are

200
00:10:13,535 --> 00:10:16,255
Speaker 5: changing at the moment. You're absolutely right, you probably could.

201
00:10:16,535 --> 00:10:16,735
Speaker 3: Look.

202
00:10:18,015 --> 00:10:19,895
Speaker 5: This is why I was going to say, last call

203
00:10:19,935 --> 00:10:23,135
Speaker 5: for planting, because we are lucky, we've got an extra

204
00:10:23,175 --> 00:10:23,855
Speaker 5: couple of weeks.

205
00:10:23,895 --> 00:10:27,095
Speaker 6: I reckon with this climate change exactly.

206
00:10:27,615 --> 00:10:29,695
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm going to have a goat. I'm

207
00:10:29,695 --> 00:10:32,695
Speaker 2: going to bang down a small quotum.

208
00:10:33,335 --> 00:10:36,415
Speaker 8: Yeah potatoes, Yeah.

209
00:10:35,975 --> 00:10:39,295
Speaker 6: Good on you Berry, next month, Yes, you better.

210
00:10:39,415 --> 00:10:41,975
Speaker 5: You know, the reason I don't grow potatoes is because

211
00:10:42,015 --> 00:10:45,215
Speaker 5: I love growing tomatoes and potatoes and tomatoes have the

212
00:10:45,295 --> 00:10:49,215
Speaker 5: same pests on them, if you like, especially that the

213
00:10:49,415 --> 00:10:54,415
Speaker 5: sillat thing, sillat thing, and so I prefer my tomatoes

214
00:10:54,455 --> 00:10:56,775
Speaker 5: over potatoes, and potatoes are only what a couple of

215
00:10:56,775 --> 00:10:58,655
Speaker 5: bucks of kilo, you know, So you.

216
00:10:58,615 --> 00:11:03,055
Speaker 6: Know what I mean. It's why I don't grow Yeah. Yeah, okay,

Speaker 1: Whether you're painting the ceiling, fixing the fins, or wondering

223
00:11:12,895 --> 00:11:14,415

Speaker 10: You, Good morning to you.

228
00:11:27,295 --> 00:11:28,095
Speaker 8: How are you good?

229
00:11:28,095 --> 00:11:28,335
Speaker 3: Things?

230
00:11:28,415 --> 00:11:28,855
Speaker 6: We're good?

231
00:11:28,855 --> 00:11:30,375
Speaker 10: Thank you good?

232
00:11:30,495 --> 00:11:30,935
Speaker 9: That's good.

233
00:11:31,295 --> 00:11:37,335
Speaker 10: And I have a problem with little wombs or something

234
00:11:37,455 --> 00:11:41,415
Speaker 10: eating my potatoes. And I was just wondering if there's

235
00:11:41,415 --> 00:11:44,055
Speaker 10: anything that I can treat the soil with to sort

236
00:11:44,095 --> 00:11:45,775
Speaker 10: of eliminate this problem.

237
00:11:46,575 --> 00:11:52,015
Speaker 5: Can you tell me what color are those little worms?

238
00:11:53,615 --> 00:11:56,575
Speaker 10: Well, actually you don't see them. They're just dig the

239
00:11:56,615 --> 00:12:00,495
Speaker 10: potatoes and the little holes and them with almost as

240
00:12:00,535 --> 00:12:02,255
Speaker 10: if they've laid their eggs and bug it off.

241
00:12:04,135 --> 00:12:06,215
Speaker 5: I see what you mean. Okay, so we don't know

242
00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:08,735
Speaker 5: who it is. Okay, it's not often is a thing

243
00:12:08,855 --> 00:12:12,215
Speaker 5: called wireworm or something like that that does it. And

244
00:12:12,255 --> 00:12:16,735
Speaker 5: they're actually reasonably sizable. They are the larvae of the

245
00:12:17,015 --> 00:12:19,335
Speaker 5: click beetle that you sometimes find inside. You know, they

246
00:12:19,415 --> 00:12:22,495
Speaker 5: want to go because the lens on his back and

247
00:12:22,615 --> 00:12:26,575
Speaker 5: anyway it doesn't matter. Oh my goodness, that's a bit hard.

248
00:12:27,215 --> 00:12:32,815
Speaker 5: Have you ever tried anything around these potatoes at all

249
00:12:32,895 --> 00:12:36,015
Speaker 5: in terms of insecticides, No, not at all.

250
00:12:36,095 --> 00:12:36,455
Speaker 9: I just.

251
00:12:38,055 --> 00:12:41,135
Speaker 10: I thought, once I get my garden clear, there might

252
00:12:41,175 --> 00:12:44,295
Speaker 10: be something that I can spray on or dig in

253
00:12:44,575 --> 00:12:47,455
Speaker 10: and perhaps ellum later.

254
00:12:48,135 --> 00:12:48,375
Speaker 8: Yeah.

255
00:12:48,695 --> 00:12:51,535
Speaker 5: I was just thinking. So in there's you know, a

256
00:12:51,575 --> 00:12:54,335
Speaker 5: couple of possibilities. But anyway, there is a material called

257
00:12:55,815 --> 00:12:59,655
Speaker 5: I think it's called Yates grub and Porhina. So it's

258
00:12:59,655 --> 00:13:03,175
Speaker 5: from Yates the company Grub and Porhina, which is a

259
00:13:03,215 --> 00:13:06,095
Speaker 5: material that you use, for instance on grass grubs, that

260
00:13:06,375 --> 00:13:09,655
Speaker 5: of in any in the soils if you like, and

261
00:13:10,055 --> 00:13:12,215
Speaker 5: and it would have the same effect on these things.

262
00:13:12,255 --> 00:13:15,415
Speaker 5: I would say, have a look Key we Care and

263
00:13:16,175 --> 00:13:20,375
Speaker 5: has another material that is for these particular grubs in

264
00:13:20,455 --> 00:13:21,735
Speaker 5: the soil.

265
00:13:23,295 --> 00:13:23,975
Speaker 6: See if you can.

266
00:13:23,895 --> 00:13:25,775
Speaker 5: Find either the eights one or the key we Care

267
00:13:25,855 --> 00:13:29,415
Speaker 5: one for for for soil grubs. And you might find

268
00:13:29,415 --> 00:13:31,535
Speaker 5: that that will work for you. But you might be

269
00:13:31,575 --> 00:13:34,375
Speaker 5: too late now, of course, because you have the holes

270
00:13:34,375 --> 00:13:35,975
Speaker 5: in your potatoes as we speak.

271
00:13:37,295 --> 00:13:40,495
Speaker 10: That's great. Yeah, but as I as I, as I

272
00:13:40,575 --> 00:13:43,095
Speaker 10: dig and clear the ground, I can treat it with that,

273
00:13:43,215 --> 00:13:43,655
Speaker 10: do you think?

274
00:13:43,735 --> 00:13:47,375
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, absolutely, yeah, have God good luck with that

275
00:13:48,095 --> 00:13:48,735
Speaker 6: all the very busy.

276
00:13:49,095 --> 00:13:50,815
Speaker 4: Just take care and Sean. Good morning.

277
00:13:51,655 --> 00:13:55,735
Speaker 9: Yeah, OHI guys, I'm just wanting some answers on I've

278
00:13:55,735 --> 00:13:59,775
Speaker 9: got some future plants yea, and the leaves have gone

279
00:13:59,855 --> 00:14:03,055
Speaker 9: silver with black dots on them, and it's going bold

280
00:14:04,255 --> 00:14:05,295
Speaker 9: in this suggistance.

281
00:14:05,415 --> 00:14:06,055
Speaker 10: What that could be?

282
00:14:06,735 --> 00:14:08,655
Speaker 6: Is this a future you have in a pot at home?

283
00:14:09,375 --> 00:14:11,815
Speaker 9: No, it's on the eighth place and side of the garden.

284
00:14:12,095 --> 00:14:15,375
Speaker 5: Okay, So you have them outside, Okay.

285
00:14:15,055 --> 00:14:16,335
Speaker 9: One about eighteen years old?

286
00:14:17,135 --> 00:14:18,935
Speaker 3: Oh bugger m.

287
00:14:19,815 --> 00:14:21,495
Speaker 9: And it's not bringing onto the younger ones.

288
00:14:21,895 --> 00:14:23,895
Speaker 6: Oh shivers. It's not that.

289
00:14:24,335 --> 00:14:28,135
Speaker 5: It's not the tree future, the native New Zealand plant,

290
00:14:28,215 --> 00:14:28,535
Speaker 5: is it?

291
00:14:28,815 --> 00:14:30,735
Speaker 9: Oh? I couldn't tell you, rude.

292
00:14:30,535 --> 00:14:33,615
Speaker 6: Sorry, No, that becomes a tree of about fifteen meters tall.

293
00:14:34,055 --> 00:14:36,535
Speaker 9: Okay, you know it certainly probably had a meter of sohei.

294
00:14:36,855 --> 00:14:38,535
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, all right in that case.

295
00:14:39,215 --> 00:14:42,535
Speaker 5: Okay, So if you've got and so your things were

296
00:14:43,935 --> 00:14:46,375
Speaker 5: silver on the leaves and black holes as.

297
00:14:46,255 --> 00:14:48,175
Speaker 9: Well, your black dots on it?

298
00:14:48,295 --> 00:14:49,655
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, good.

299
00:14:50,895 --> 00:14:55,295
Speaker 5: That sounds like a fungal disease. I think a funger

300
00:14:55,375 --> 00:14:57,895
Speaker 5: side would do it. And if you do it with

301
00:14:58,055 --> 00:15:01,975
Speaker 5: a systemic fungus side, go to your local garden center

302
00:15:01,975 --> 00:15:04,335
Speaker 5: and ask for a systemic fungus side. You can also

303
00:15:04,455 --> 00:15:08,415
Speaker 5: protect your other plants you by from being infected.

304
00:15:08,855 --> 00:15:13,495
Speaker 9: So next door, I've got a green passion fruit and

305
00:15:13,575 --> 00:15:15,895
Speaker 9: he's getting like brown dots on the fruit.

306
00:15:17,455 --> 00:15:21,455
Speaker 5: That might it's likely to be a different species. But

307
00:15:21,455 --> 00:15:24,175
Speaker 5: there's something. Have you had a lot too much rain

308
00:15:24,295 --> 00:15:24,735
Speaker 5: or something?

309
00:15:24,775 --> 00:15:25,775
Speaker 6: What? What is the story?

310
00:15:26,495 --> 00:15:26,655
Speaker 7: No?

311
00:15:26,735 --> 00:15:29,215
Speaker 9: Not really. We water it, probably in the evening because

312
00:15:29,215 --> 00:15:31,575
Speaker 9: it's a side and could do anything.

313
00:15:32,575 --> 00:15:34,415
Speaker 6: Do you water it every night? Every day?

314
00:15:34,495 --> 00:15:38,175
Speaker 9: Every night, not every night. It's only it's not sprang

315
00:15:38,215 --> 00:15:39,055
Speaker 9: all over it, So.

316
00:15:39,135 --> 00:15:41,975
Speaker 5: Okay, so please don't don't overwater those things. That's a

317
00:15:41,975 --> 00:15:44,255
Speaker 5: good point. Thank you for telling me that. But yeah,

318
00:15:44,335 --> 00:15:47,455
Speaker 5: try and fung aside and and and protect it with

319
00:15:47,575 --> 00:15:51,095
Speaker 5: an systemic one that goes through the plant and basically

320
00:15:51,135 --> 00:15:57,935
Speaker 5: makes everything stop going down. If you wanted to prune,

321
00:15:58,455 --> 00:16:00,015
Speaker 5: if you want to prune it, Beck, you could do it.

322
00:16:00,055 --> 00:16:02,215
Speaker 5: I don't think it's really necessary to do this, but

323
00:16:02,255 --> 00:16:04,375
Speaker 5: you could. It could, It could work, It could help

324
00:16:04,415 --> 00:16:07,095
Speaker 5: a bit. Have a god, but go over the top.

325
00:16:07,175 --> 00:16:08,895
Speaker 5: But please don't overwater your plants.

326
00:16:08,895 --> 00:16:09,575
Speaker 6: That's another thing.

327
00:16:09,975 --> 00:16:11,495
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, really appreciate that.

328
00:16:12,095 --> 00:16:16,215
Speaker 4: No where Sean all to Sean, take care of good luck, Glinda,

329
00:16:16,295 --> 00:16:18,535
Speaker 4: Good morning, good.

330
00:16:18,335 --> 00:16:25,175
Speaker 11: Morning, Hike. Sorry, I have peach tree trouble. Peaches are

331
00:16:25,255 --> 00:16:28,655
Speaker 11: getting brown rot their golden queen on the tree before

332
00:16:28,695 --> 00:16:30,735
Speaker 11: I can even get to them. Between them and the

333
00:16:30,775 --> 00:16:32,015
Speaker 11: boods are not getting mini.

334
00:16:33,055 --> 00:16:36,055
Speaker 5: Always the same with peach especially. I remember in Auckland

335
00:16:36,135 --> 00:16:42,935
Speaker 5: we had the same sort of stuff every year. Literally again,

336
00:16:43,495 --> 00:16:46,495
Speaker 5: brown rot is a fungal disease. I would suggest you

337
00:16:46,575 --> 00:16:50,335
Speaker 5: get a systemic funger site on those peaches and see

338
00:16:50,335 --> 00:16:53,015
Speaker 5: what you can set salvage from now on.

339
00:16:53,255 --> 00:16:54,615
Speaker 6: I think it might be a bit late.

340
00:16:56,295 --> 00:17:03,055
Speaker 11: Okay, what sort of fun spray.

341
00:17:01,615 --> 00:17:02,455
Speaker 6: A fungus site?

342
00:17:02,535 --> 00:17:06,975
Speaker 5: Yes, something that stops fungi going on on your fruit

343
00:17:07,015 --> 00:17:11,575
Speaker 5: for instance, on plants, but also the systemic it might

344
00:17:11,695 --> 00:17:14,935
Speaker 5: also take. It might also, what do you call it?

345
00:17:15,335 --> 00:17:20,375
Speaker 5: Protect your leaves and your new fruit from infection as well.

346
00:17:20,695 --> 00:17:23,375
Speaker 5: But you probably find that we're all ready too late

347
00:17:23,455 --> 00:17:26,575
Speaker 5: for that right now, to be quite honesty.

348
00:17:26,855 --> 00:17:28,935
Speaker 11: So when would I do it for.

349
00:17:28,895 --> 00:17:31,975
Speaker 6: The next season, after flowering.

350
00:17:32,815 --> 00:17:35,535
Speaker 11: After flowering, I guess before the leaves drop.

351
00:17:37,535 --> 00:17:40,895
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, after the flowering, after the flowers.

352
00:17:40,495 --> 00:17:42,375
Speaker 8: Have gone flowering.

353
00:17:42,455 --> 00:17:44,615
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, not the leaves. Don't worry, no, no.

354
00:17:44,375 --> 00:17:52,575
Speaker 11: No, noxt you go so flowering, Ye, what I would do?

355
00:17:54,095 --> 00:17:58,295
Speaker 5: Yeah, well timed fungus sized applications are the key, and

356
00:17:58,375 --> 00:18:00,895
Speaker 5: it's also with all these other stone fruit as well.

357
00:18:00,935 --> 00:18:06,295
Speaker 6: You got it, yeah, obviously, Thank you very much.

358
00:18:06,375 --> 00:18:07,935
Speaker 4: You call Glenna. Much appreciated.

359
00:18:07,975 --> 00:18:14,535
Speaker 12: Hollo Bob, Good morning, Pete and Rute. I've had a

360
00:18:14,575 --> 00:18:15,375
Speaker 12: bit of a problem.

361
00:18:15,495 --> 00:18:19,415
Speaker 13: I found an insect in my bedroom on the window sill.

362
00:18:19,735 --> 00:18:19,975
Speaker 2: Dead.

363
00:18:20,815 --> 00:18:25,215
Speaker 12: It was like a little was quite a bit smaller

364
00:18:25,215 --> 00:18:29,095
Speaker 12: than the normal wasp, and it had a bright orange abdomen.

365
00:18:30,335 --> 00:18:33,415
Speaker 12: And I kept it there because I thought I'll go

366
00:18:33,455 --> 00:18:35,815
Speaker 12: and get my phone and try my eye naturalists and

367
00:18:35,855 --> 00:18:40,255
Speaker 12: find out what it is. However, the window was open,

368
00:18:40,615 --> 00:18:44,735
Speaker 12: and I'm not sure. I'm not sure what happened. Whether

369
00:18:44,815 --> 00:18:48,455
Speaker 12: my husband saw the insect and inflected out the window,

370
00:18:49,095 --> 00:18:52,215
Speaker 12: or a curtain inflect inflicted out the window, or whether

371
00:18:52,215 --> 00:18:55,015
Speaker 12: it fell on the carpet and I vacuumded up without realizing.

372
00:18:55,535 --> 00:18:57,255
Speaker 12: But when I went to look for it was gone.

373
00:18:57,775 --> 00:19:00,735
Speaker 12: So anyway, I've been outside and checked and there's no

374
00:19:00,775 --> 00:19:03,295
Speaker 12: sign of it there. But I'm wondering because I heard

375
00:19:03,295 --> 00:19:05,215
Speaker 12: on the radio the other mart they were talking about

376
00:19:05,215 --> 00:19:09,695
Speaker 12: the Oriental fruits, and I said that the female is orange,

377
00:19:09,695 --> 00:19:12,855
Speaker 12: and I looked up on Google and sure enough there's

378
00:19:12,855 --> 00:19:15,335
Speaker 12: an orange one, but I don't know whether it would

379
00:19:15,415 --> 00:19:19,695
Speaker 12: be that or not. So how far widespread is the

380
00:19:19,735 --> 00:19:21,135
Speaker 12: oriental fruit fly?

381
00:19:21,255 --> 00:19:25,335
Speaker 5: We're in Manhwatu, in Manawatu, as far as I'm concerned.

382
00:19:25,375 --> 00:19:31,135
Speaker 5: There were two sights in Auckland that were, if you like, quarantined,

383
00:19:31,775 --> 00:19:34,575
Speaker 5: and and you're in the Manawatu, and that is too

384
00:19:34,655 --> 00:19:37,015
Speaker 5: far away. I would say that probably has nothing to

385
00:19:37,055 --> 00:19:39,975
Speaker 5: do with this particular thing. But it's interesting to see

386
00:19:39,975 --> 00:19:42,255
Speaker 5: that you're saying it was a wasp, which was interesting

387
00:19:42,335 --> 00:19:47,055
Speaker 5: because I know what you're saying, because we have native

388
00:19:47,135 --> 00:19:50,175
Speaker 5: bees that they've got some orange colors, especially if they

389
00:19:50,215 --> 00:19:53,855
Speaker 5: have the pollen baskets on their legs with really cool

390
00:19:53,935 --> 00:19:57,615
Speaker 5: orange colors as well, and they look stunning, So it

391
00:19:57,695 --> 00:20:00,135
Speaker 5: could have been something stupid like that, you know, And

392
00:20:00,175 --> 00:20:02,415
Speaker 5: there are so many different things that are orange as

393
00:20:02,415 --> 00:20:04,055
Speaker 5: well in that particular group.

394
00:20:04,775 --> 00:20:09,975
Speaker 13: Right right. Yeah, it's just a peach tree that's laden

395
00:20:10,055 --> 00:20:14,495
Speaker 13: and we're picking them madly, trying to beat the bird success.

396
00:20:14,855 --> 00:20:16,775
Speaker 13: And I thought, oh gosh, if it is this fruit

397
00:20:16,815 --> 00:20:20,175
Speaker 13: fly thing, help, how far away can I distribute the fruit.

398
00:20:21,655 --> 00:20:25,255
Speaker 5: Parmiston, Parmeston is safe, make no mistake, good face, all

399
00:20:25,255 --> 00:20:26,015
Speaker 5: the best of your barb.

400
00:20:26,135 --> 00:20:28,455
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. And it's funny people talking about

401
00:20:28,455 --> 00:20:30,495
Speaker 4: the birds. I must admit I think I pretty much

402
00:20:30,575 --> 00:20:32,815
Speaker 4: just leave the plum tree and his food for the birds.

403
00:20:33,295 --> 00:20:34,855
Speaker 4: They get a lot more food out of it than

404
00:20:34,895 --> 00:20:35,135
Speaker 4: I do.

405
00:20:35,855 --> 00:20:38,935
Speaker 5: Accept the damsons which we make into jams. We've got

406
00:20:38,935 --> 00:20:40,255
Speaker 5: about fifty thousand kilos.

407
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:45,015
Speaker 6: Unbelievable. It's gorgeous, fantastic.

408
00:20:45,495 --> 00:20:47,775
Speaker 4: Oh, always a pleasure, Thank you very much.

409
00:20:47,975 --> 00:20:49,055
Speaker 6: All right, see you on the eight.

410
00:20:49,295 --> 00:20:52,335
Speaker 5: We spend the Yeah, well bloody tempted to be fair,

411
00:20:52,615 --> 00:20:53,175
Speaker 5: very tempted.

412
00:20:53,455 --> 00:20:55,575
Speaker 4: Take care of it all the very best, Hey, folks,

413
00:20:56,335 --> 00:20:58,895

414
00:20:58,935 --> 00:21:00,695
Speaker 4: which was fantastic because I was down there as a
