1
00:00:06,855 --> 00:00:10,695
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp

2
00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:11,975
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

3
00:00:11,935 --> 00:00:15,775
Speaker 2: B, and you're a News Talks B and climb past a.

4
00:00:15,855 --> 00:00:18,415
Speaker 3: Very good morning, sir, Hey, good morning Peter.

5
00:00:19,295 --> 00:00:21,975
Speaker 2: Right, can I ask you a question? Very quickly? We

6
00:00:22,015 --> 00:00:22,975
Speaker 2: had an interesting call.

7
00:00:23,095 --> 00:00:25,575
Speaker 3: No, you can't. You can't. Now you're not one of

8
00:00:25,575 --> 00:00:26,335
Speaker 3: the callers. You are.

9
00:00:27,375 --> 00:00:31,775
Speaker 2: I'm going to go out into the studio from go

10
00:00:31,855 --> 00:00:32,455
Speaker 2: on you take.

11
00:00:33,055 --> 00:00:37,135
Speaker 4: So A Coller rang in about a quarter to eight

12
00:00:37,215 --> 00:00:41,775
Speaker 4: and said, look, I've had a pest control guy come

13
00:00:41,855 --> 00:00:45,375
Speaker 4: to help with sorting out Bora, and they made the

14
00:00:45,455 --> 00:00:50,655
Speaker 4: suggestion that he should remove the polystyrene insulation because Bora

15
00:00:50,855 --> 00:00:53,815
Speaker 4: seemed to like it. You know, so if we look

16
00:00:53,815 --> 00:00:56,775
Speaker 4: at underfloor insulation, you can have wool, you can have polyester,

17
00:00:57,095 --> 00:01:00,975
Speaker 4: you can have glass wool, you can have polystyrene. Is

18
00:01:01,175 --> 00:01:04,135
Speaker 4: any of those Are any of those products attractive to

19
00:01:04,215 --> 00:01:05,215
Speaker 4: Bora in any way?

20
00:01:06,455 --> 00:01:06,535
Speaker 5: No?

21
00:01:07,415 --> 00:01:10,055
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think that all they're interested

22
00:01:10,135 --> 00:01:14,175
Speaker 3: in is lay eggs on non treated timber for the

23
00:01:14,215 --> 00:01:17,535
Speaker 3: simple reason that those eggs will turn into a little lively,

24
00:01:17,695 --> 00:01:20,935
Speaker 3: into little grubs. If you like that, will then go

25
00:01:21,135 --> 00:01:25,055
Speaker 3: into that particular timber and start making all these little holes,

26
00:01:25,055 --> 00:01:27,055
Speaker 3: the tiny holes that you and I love so much.

27
00:01:27,175 --> 00:01:30,855
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, okay, So the fact that you've got underfloor

28
00:01:30,935 --> 00:01:35,095
Speaker 4: insallation and you've got borer the underfloor insulation is unlikely

29
00:01:35,215 --> 00:01:37,815
Speaker 4: to make a more attractive habitat for them.

30
00:01:38,575 --> 00:01:40,695
Speaker 3: I don't think so. It makes it a bit warmer,

31
00:01:40,815 --> 00:01:43,295
Speaker 3: and that means that they go quicker through their life cycle.

32
00:01:43,375 --> 00:01:45,735
Speaker 3: That's about it. But to say that they are attracted

33
00:01:45,775 --> 00:01:48,535
Speaker 3: by the insulation, I don't think so. Oh. I think

34
00:01:48,575 --> 00:01:50,335
Speaker 3: it's just what that they're going for.

35
00:01:50,495 --> 00:01:53,375
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have thought so as well, right he Oh, Now,

36
00:01:53,535 --> 00:01:57,375
Speaker 4: apparently what is bronze beetle? And why are people so

37
00:01:57,575 --> 00:01:59,175
Speaker 4: upset about bronze beetle?

38
00:01:59,295 --> 00:02:03,735
Speaker 2: Right now? I've had so many texts today.

39
00:02:03,895 --> 00:02:06,735
Speaker 3: Yeah, bron this is the bronze beetle time and November

40
00:02:06,815 --> 00:02:09,775
Speaker 3: is a great time for them. They are actually small

41
00:02:10,415 --> 00:02:13,735
Speaker 3: brown or bronzy beetles. So they're a little bit the

42
00:02:13,775 --> 00:02:16,415
Speaker 3: size of slightly bigger than lady birds if you like

43
00:02:16,495 --> 00:02:20,295
Speaker 3: ladywood beetles. They fly at night, and they do not

44
00:02:20,495 --> 00:02:25,095
Speaker 3: fly on their own. They fly in massive numbers. And

45
00:02:25,215 --> 00:02:27,175
Speaker 3: what they do is they go to your fruit tree,

46
00:02:27,255 --> 00:02:30,135
Speaker 3: they go to other plants and they are totally not

47
00:02:30,295 --> 00:02:32,935
Speaker 3: selective in terms of what they like to eat, but

48
00:02:33,015 --> 00:02:37,855
Speaker 3: they love to eat leaves. They cause an enormous defoliation

49
00:02:38,015 --> 00:02:43,215
Speaker 3: or if you like, holes being chewed in leaves very quickly,

50
00:02:43,335 --> 00:02:46,935
Speaker 3: and very obviously too, because that's why people are so

51
00:02:47,455 --> 00:02:52,015
Speaker 3: hecked off. But here is the good news. Well, no,

52
00:02:52,215 --> 00:02:54,695
Speaker 3: let me first tell you. So they do this whole

53
00:02:54,735 --> 00:02:57,735
Speaker 3: thing of eating the leaves. Then they go and mate,

54
00:02:58,335 --> 00:03:00,695
Speaker 3: usually on those leaves at night, in the middle of

55
00:03:00,775 --> 00:03:03,015
Speaker 3: the night, and as soon as you go in the

56
00:03:03,055 --> 00:03:05,855
Speaker 3: morning and you see them, they are getting scared of you.

57
00:03:06,095 --> 00:03:09,815
Speaker 3: They drop off the leaves and lay their eggs literally

58
00:03:09,855 --> 00:03:12,135
Speaker 3: in the soil. So that's how they go on. And

59
00:03:12,175 --> 00:03:15,335
Speaker 3: then the larvae will start eating the roots of those

60
00:03:15,375 --> 00:03:18,735
Speaker 3: plants as well. So yes, they do a bit of damage.

61
00:03:18,815 --> 00:03:20,895
Speaker 3: But here comes to thing. In terms of the loss

62
00:03:20,895 --> 00:03:24,335
Speaker 3: of leaves, usually there is nothing to do with the

63
00:03:24,375 --> 00:03:28,575
Speaker 3: health of the plant. The plant will literally put a

64
00:03:28,575 --> 00:03:32,335
Speaker 3: few more leaves on in no time to balance out

65
00:03:33,455 --> 00:03:36,295
Speaker 3: the amount of roots and the amount of leaves. So

66
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:38,695
Speaker 3: if they then go looking at their roots and see

67
00:03:38,735 --> 00:03:41,695
Speaker 3: that that's been eaten as well, that's exactly a balancing

68
00:03:41,775 --> 00:03:43,975
Speaker 3: act as well. The beetle does it all for you.

69
00:03:44,295 --> 00:03:47,775
Speaker 3: But to be quite honest, it's not that bad. It

70
00:03:47,935 --> 00:03:52,855
Speaker 3: looks awful, I must admit, but it's healthwise not that bad.

71
00:03:54,535 --> 00:03:58,575
Speaker 4: Okay, fascinating, right, we appreciate that. Gets a couple of

72
00:03:58,615 --> 00:04:01,055
Speaker 4: chushions out of the way. Oh and just to wrap

73
00:04:01,135 --> 00:04:03,855
Speaker 4: up a dilemma that earlier call ahead with regard to

74
00:04:04,015 --> 00:04:07,495
Speaker 4: a canvas tint that had a bit of mold curtain

75
00:04:07,615 --> 00:04:09,735
Speaker 4: was it Apparently is a very good solution for that.

76
00:04:09,855 --> 00:04:12,895
Speaker 4: So hopefully that's the answer to that problem.

77
00:04:13,215 --> 00:04:15,295
Speaker 2: So a very good morning to you.

78
00:04:16,575 --> 00:04:19,935
Speaker 6: Good morning. I have got a live in christ Church

79
00:04:20,495 --> 00:04:23,255
Speaker 6: and I have run a beans that are flowering, but

80
00:04:23,455 --> 00:04:27,135
Speaker 6: nice beans are forming. Is that a feeding problem or

81
00:04:27,135 --> 00:04:28,375
Speaker 6: a cold problem?

82
00:04:29,175 --> 00:04:32,495
Speaker 3: It could be a problem of not having been pollinated.

83
00:04:32,855 --> 00:04:36,935
Speaker 3: Have you got any bumble bees nearby?

84
00:04:38,335 --> 00:04:40,135
Speaker 6: Well no, I haven't seen them.

85
00:04:41,255 --> 00:04:44,015
Speaker 3: No. Well that's that's the thing. Those beans, when they

86
00:04:44,055 --> 00:04:47,255
Speaker 3: flower need to be pollinated in order to make those

87
00:04:47,295 --> 00:04:52,255
Speaker 3: flowers turn into little and then larger beans if you like.

88
00:04:52,615 --> 00:04:57,295
Speaker 3: So that is quite often the case. I think if

89
00:04:57,335 --> 00:05:00,935
Speaker 3: you have pollinators and you still do not get much beans,

90
00:05:01,375 --> 00:05:03,655
Speaker 3: it might be indeed to do with the fact that

91
00:05:03,695 --> 00:05:07,215
Speaker 3: you need to fertilize it with some NPAK a fertilizer.

92
00:05:07,415 --> 00:05:10,895
Speaker 3: Literally that's all you need to do. But generally speaking,

93
00:05:11,095 --> 00:05:13,615
Speaker 3: it is the pollination that will start it all off.

94
00:05:15,535 --> 00:05:15,975
Speaker 7: Thank you.

95
00:05:16,215 --> 00:05:20,975
Speaker 6: And liquid fertilizer seafood fertilizer. Can I use that or

96
00:05:20,975 --> 00:05:22,775
Speaker 6: do I need an all purpose one?

97
00:05:23,655 --> 00:05:23,735
Speaker 8: No?

98
00:05:24,015 --> 00:05:27,215
Speaker 3: The liquid liquid seaweed fertilizer will be brilliant to use

99
00:05:27,255 --> 00:05:33,455
Speaker 3: on beans and things like that. When you if you

100
00:05:33,575 --> 00:05:36,255
Speaker 3: have to water your plant because it's dry, for instance,

101
00:05:36,615 --> 00:05:41,695
Speaker 3: use the liquid fertilizer to know, a very dilute version

102
00:05:41,735 --> 00:05:45,255
Speaker 3: of that stuff. Use the liquid fertilizer to water your

103
00:05:45,295 --> 00:05:47,815
Speaker 3: plant and fertilize it at the same time.

104
00:05:50,455 --> 00:05:51,455
Speaker 6: Thank you for your help.

105
00:05:52,295 --> 00:05:53,975
Speaker 3: You are welcome to you go well.

106
00:05:54,135 --> 00:05:55,855
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you. So you take care.

107
00:05:56,495 --> 00:05:58,735
Speaker 4: I read some of the other days someone's talking about

108
00:05:58,815 --> 00:06:00,455
Speaker 4: the fact that, you know, we've had a full moon.

109
00:06:00,575 --> 00:06:02,255
Speaker 4: Now's a great time to fertilize.

110
00:06:03,415 --> 00:06:11,255
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Oh my goodness, have you got a moment?

111
00:06:11,815 --> 00:06:11,895
Speaker 8: Now?

112
00:06:12,015 --> 00:06:13,695
Speaker 3: It's about it's it's about.

113
00:06:13,655 --> 00:06:16,295
Speaker 4: Its attractive to me. I was like, hey, that makes sense.

114
00:06:16,335 --> 00:06:17,855
Speaker 4: That's a great idea. I'm going to make sure I

115
00:06:17,935 --> 00:06:21,175
Speaker 4: do some fertilizer in the garden because apparently the plants

116
00:06:21,215 --> 00:06:23,855
Speaker 4: love it when it's a full moon, and you.

117
00:06:22,815 --> 00:06:25,935
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, and it's the same. It's the same with

118
00:06:25,935 --> 00:06:28,695
Speaker 3: with if you God, if you go, if you're planting

119
00:06:28,735 --> 00:06:32,055
Speaker 3: for it's you plant with certain move phases and things

120
00:06:32,095 --> 00:06:38,255
Speaker 3: like that. That's so you don't step on them at night. Sorry,

121
00:06:38,295 --> 00:06:41,855
Speaker 3: that's just taking the mickey, But no, no, there is.

122
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:44,295
Speaker 3: To be quite honest, there is. And you can be

123
00:06:44,415 --> 00:06:47,935
Speaker 3: against for it or against And I'm sitting somewhere nowhere

124
00:06:47,935 --> 00:06:50,615
Speaker 3: in the middle because I've heard it all before and

125
00:06:50,655 --> 00:06:54,135
Speaker 3: I'm never one hundred percent sure how much signs there

126
00:06:54,255 --> 00:06:57,895
Speaker 3: is for this particular statement, and that is the point.

127
00:06:58,055 --> 00:07:02,735
Speaker 3: But Mato and maraamataka in in the in the tyral

128
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:07,175
Speaker 3: in in the Maori system actually looks at them constantly,

129
00:07:07,255 --> 00:07:09,615
Speaker 3: and there are a lot of people in the world

130
00:07:09,655 --> 00:07:13,055
Speaker 3: that actually work like that. And I don't see any

131
00:07:13,055 --> 00:07:15,135
Speaker 3: problem with that. If that's what makes you feel good

132
00:07:15,295 --> 00:07:19,255
Speaker 3: and if you've got better results, go for it. But personally,

133
00:07:19,655 --> 00:07:23,095
Speaker 3: I have the feeling that when Princeton's seeds fall down,

134
00:07:23,575 --> 00:07:26,135
Speaker 3: there comes a time that they will have to also

135
00:07:26,415 --> 00:07:28,975
Speaker 3: if you're like germanate and give you a new plant.

136
00:07:29,335 --> 00:07:32,735
Speaker 3: And in my opinion, that could happen anytime when those

137
00:07:32,775 --> 00:07:36,015
Speaker 3: seeds are falling down. That is probably more important.

138
00:07:36,455 --> 00:07:38,215
Speaker 4: I think I'm still going to go out and fertilize

139
00:07:38,255 --> 00:07:42,375
Speaker 4: today because time in the garden. Right here, let's get

140
00:07:42,375 --> 00:07:46,215
Speaker 4: the calls again, Marion, A very good morning to you. Hello, Marian,

141

Speaker 9: Is that rude sometimes?

143
00:07:52,775 --> 00:07:55,455
Speaker 3: Yeah?

144
00:07:55,855 --> 00:07:59,895
Speaker 7: My husband used to it with you in Boundary Road?

145
00:08:00,895 --> 00:08:04,215
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Oh, at the Ministry of Anger and

146
00:08:04,255 --> 00:08:09,135
Speaker 3: fish Heads. No, he was, he was probably I know

147
00:08:09,135 --> 00:08:12,935
Speaker 3: what you mean. We were together with whatever it was called. Yeah. Okay, Marion,

148
00:08:13,135 --> 00:08:14,495
Speaker 3: good okay.

149
00:08:17,175 --> 00:08:22,775
Speaker 7: And you're now down at Harnville. Yeah, yeah, my husband

150
00:08:23,175 --> 00:08:26,335
Speaker 7: my son lived in Hallsville and School Road.

151
00:08:27,575 --> 00:08:29,335
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, so you keep on following me.

152
00:08:31,495 --> 00:08:33,615
Speaker 7: It's not my following you, it's my son.

153
00:08:34,495 --> 00:08:35,455
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, fair enough.

154
00:08:36,455 --> 00:08:40,215
Speaker 7: And I know where you are. You're above the quarry, yeah,

155
00:08:40,375 --> 00:08:40,815
Speaker 7: up there.

156
00:08:41,015 --> 00:08:47,055
Speaker 3: Anyway, what was your question, Rosemary? Rosemary?

157
00:08:47,175 --> 00:08:54,015
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, we've had a I had a little garden

158
00:08:54,095 --> 00:08:58,375
Speaker 7: there afraid of and we had the house built and

159
00:08:58,535 --> 00:09:02,775
Speaker 7: they put the shingle just there. We tried to get

160
00:09:02,855 --> 00:09:05,295
Speaker 7: rid of all of the shingle, and of course it's

161
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:09,975
Speaker 7: pretty impossible, but so I had a little garden, a

162
00:09:10,055 --> 00:09:13,655
Speaker 7: little curse garden, and they used to put plants on

163
00:09:13,735 --> 00:09:16,855
Speaker 7: it and weed them and all the rest. And my

164
00:09:17,015 --> 00:09:19,935
Speaker 7: son gave me a couple of roses. I put the

165
00:09:20,055 --> 00:09:22,575
Speaker 7: roses and they crashed with each other. One was red

166
00:09:22,575 --> 00:09:26,655
Speaker 7: and one was purple. But anyway, say, and my husband

167
00:09:26,855 --> 00:09:28,935
Speaker 7: got pulled it all the way up and he put

168
00:09:28,975 --> 00:09:32,135
Speaker 7: the rows me there. It grew like mad and he

169
00:09:32,495 --> 00:09:34,975
Speaker 7: swimmers and all the rest. But I got a disease.

170
00:09:36,495 --> 00:09:38,215
Speaker 3: What disease? What does it look like?

171
00:09:38,295 --> 00:09:41,255
Speaker 7: I don't know if virus has just killed it?

172
00:09:41,975 --> 00:09:44,855
Speaker 3: Oh, really did, and it did go quickly as well.

173
00:09:46,175 --> 00:09:50,015
Speaker 7: Slowly slowly. I said, Johnny's better cut out that branch there.

174
00:09:50,815 --> 00:09:57,095
Speaker 7: And anyway, we've popped it all off and we're pulling

175
00:09:57,135 --> 00:10:03,335
Speaker 7: it out, and basically I want to put some hydrangers there.

176
00:10:03,415 --> 00:10:04,655
Speaker 7: Do you think that's a good idea.

177
00:10:05,695 --> 00:10:08,615
Speaker 3: I don't see why not, unless it's, for instance, super

178
00:10:09,095 --> 00:10:13,495
Speaker 3: moist soil or a very dry soil, or there is

179
00:10:13,775 --> 00:10:18,375
Speaker 3: uh yeah, from a disease perspective, without being able to

180
00:10:18,415 --> 00:10:25,015
Speaker 3: identify what the rosemary died, you think it was a virus?

181
00:10:25,575 --> 00:10:29,655
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, okay, in that case, that virus might

182
00:10:29,695 --> 00:10:33,575
Speaker 3: be very specific to rosemary and for instance, not do

183
00:10:33,655 --> 00:10:36,135
Speaker 3: anything else. You want the plant, so have it go

184
00:10:36,415 --> 00:10:37,895
Speaker 3: and see how it works.

185
00:10:38,295 --> 00:10:45,495
Speaker 7: M Yeah, we don't want to put back a rosemary

186
00:10:45,535 --> 00:10:46,375
Speaker 7: because it will just.

187
00:10:47,655 --> 00:10:50,375
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, that's and that is that makes total sense.

188
00:10:50,455 --> 00:10:55,095
Speaker 3: You don't need a moon calendar for that. But but yeah, no,

189
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:57,855
Speaker 3: I get that point. But if you try hydranger and

190
00:10:57,975 --> 00:11:01,495
Speaker 3: hydrangeers can tend to be pretty sturdy for a lot

191
00:11:01,535 --> 00:11:04,975
Speaker 3: of things, including diseases. In fact, I don't see many

192
00:11:05,015 --> 00:11:07,135
Speaker 3: diseases on Julie's hydra as it all.

193
00:11:09,095 --> 00:11:13,095
Speaker 7: And in all different. I know it. I know they

194
00:11:13,175 --> 00:11:14,455
Speaker 7: get it from the saw that you put it.

195
00:11:14,655 --> 00:11:21,455
Speaker 2: Think one next, yeah, yeah, fabulous things. Marian, thank you

196
00:11:21,575 --> 00:11:22,735
Speaker 2: very much for your call. There.

197
00:11:22,895 --> 00:11:25,295
Speaker 4: We're going to talk to Keith straight after the break

198
00:11:25,615 --> 00:11:26,015
Speaker 4: back in.

199
00:11:25,975 --> 00:11:26,535
Speaker 1: The month.

200
00:11:30,015 --> 00:11:32,495
Speaker 4: And here a new we're going to talk to Keith.

201
00:11:32,575 --> 00:11:35,175
Speaker 4: A very good morning to you, Keith. How are you today?

202
00:11:36,175 --> 00:11:38,295
Speaker 4: There we go, Keith greetings.

203
00:11:37,895 --> 00:11:39,335
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, how are you?

204
00:11:39,975 --> 00:11:41,255
Speaker 2: Good things? What's up?

205
00:11:41,295 --> 00:11:41,495
Speaker 8: Good?

206
00:11:41,855 --> 00:11:47,535
Speaker 9: Look, I've got a problem with apple cucumbers. So the

207
00:11:47,615 --> 00:11:52,855
Speaker 9: last two years I've put new plants in. They've grown

208
00:11:52,935 --> 00:11:56,375
Speaker 9: that they flower profusely, they get little fruit on them

209
00:11:56,375 --> 00:11:58,335
Speaker 9: about the size of your thumb mailing and the whole

210
00:11:58,375 --> 00:12:02,375
Speaker 9: thing dies. And I'm wondering what the problem might be.

211
00:12:03,815 --> 00:12:06,895
Speaker 3: Can you tell me, Keith? Do you see pollinators on flowers?

212
00:12:07,895 --> 00:12:10,175
Speaker 3: Do you see bees? Bumblebees?

213
00:12:10,215 --> 00:12:12,375
Speaker 9: There are a few bees around because there's other plants

214
00:12:12,375 --> 00:12:16,255
Speaker 9: in the in the in the garden. But for two

215
00:12:16,295 --> 00:12:20,215
Speaker 9: years on the trop this has happened. And and there's

216
00:12:20,215 --> 00:12:22,655
Speaker 9: other people, and I live in a retirement village, and

217
00:12:23,535 --> 00:12:26,855
Speaker 9: there's others in the village that are having the same problem.

218
00:12:27,215 --> 00:12:30,455
Speaker 3: Okay, Number one, if and this is always with these

219
00:12:30,495 --> 00:12:33,895
Speaker 3: with cucumbers and things like that, the Cukerbert group, if

220
00:12:33,935 --> 00:12:37,255
Speaker 3: you like, they need good pollination. That means that the

221
00:12:37,295 --> 00:12:41,255
Speaker 3: flowers only do females need pollinated of course from the

222
00:12:41,295 --> 00:12:44,495
Speaker 3: male from the male flowers that are there. If there's

223
00:12:44,535 --> 00:12:48,775
Speaker 3: not enough bees, the plant thinks, oh my gosh, I

224
00:12:48,815 --> 00:12:51,135
Speaker 3: haven't got enough bees. So I'm going to get more

225
00:12:51,575 --> 00:12:55,255
Speaker 3: male flowers to get the pollen to my female flowers.

226
00:12:55,455 --> 00:12:57,735
Speaker 3: And that is a mistaken thing of the plant, because

227
00:12:57,975 --> 00:13:01,575
Speaker 3: if you put a lot of bees there, that shouldn't happen,

228
00:13:01,575 --> 00:13:03,455
Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? So that's number one.

229
00:13:03,655 --> 00:13:06,975
Speaker 3: The second The second thing is that so you would

230
00:13:07,295 --> 00:13:09,415
Speaker 3: you have to attract the bees in this case, there's

231
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:13,375
Speaker 3: no doubt about that, and that is basically all you

232
00:13:13,455 --> 00:13:15,175
Speaker 3: need to do to make it happen.

233
00:13:16,055 --> 00:13:19,415
Speaker 9: Okay, So if I put a levender plant or something

234
00:13:19,495 --> 00:13:22,095
Speaker 9: like that in there, that will attract the bees.

235
00:13:23,575 --> 00:13:28,055
Speaker 3: Excellent, excellent. The second thing that could happen is that

236
00:13:28,135 --> 00:13:31,935
Speaker 3: if the fruits are actually growing but not growing that well,

237
00:13:32,015 --> 00:13:36,095
Speaker 3: it could be a lack of potash in your fertilizer regime.

238
00:13:36,415 --> 00:13:39,495
Speaker 3: Sulfate of potash, that is, that is a material you

239
00:13:39,495 --> 00:13:43,175
Speaker 3: can get from the shops, would help you change that

240
00:13:43,415 --> 00:13:45,095
Speaker 3: possession and get more potash there.

241
00:13:45,255 --> 00:13:48,135
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I put I've put a blood and bone

242
00:13:48,175 --> 00:13:49,895
Speaker 9: in there, mixed it all in the pot put the

243
00:13:49,935 --> 00:13:50,615
Speaker 9: plants in.

244
00:13:51,295 --> 00:13:53,935
Speaker 3: And blood and bone. But blood and bone does not

245
00:13:54,055 --> 00:13:55,615
Speaker 3: contain any potash at all.

246
00:13:56,295 --> 00:14:00,015
Speaker 9: Oh okay, okay, all right, so I potash is a secret.

247
00:14:00,295 --> 00:14:03,535
Speaker 9: And then throwing elevender plant.

248
00:14:03,695 --> 00:14:07,215
Speaker 3: Yes please, or facilia all these blue plants that those

249
00:14:07,495 --> 00:14:09,135
Speaker 3: bubble bees lovey, You'll be.

250
00:14:09,095 --> 00:14:12,015
Speaker 9: Fine, Okay, that's good pleasurevery much.

251
00:14:12,175 --> 00:14:14,855
Speaker 2: A very nice thank you, Keith.

252
00:14:14,975 --> 00:14:17,855
Speaker 4: And I mean, hey, you can never have enough leavender.

253
00:14:18,095 --> 00:14:20,575
Speaker 2: Figure. We need to take another short break.

254
00:14:20,575 --> 00:14:22,935
Speaker 4: We'll be back with Linen just a moment, so we're

255
00:14:22,935 --> 00:14:25,935
Speaker 4: going to hand over shortly to the commentary team, but

256
00:14:26,015 --> 00:14:29,095
Speaker 4: ahead of that, just briefly, Lynn a very good morning

257
00:14:29,135 --> 00:14:29,895
Speaker 4: to you.

258
00:14:29,935 --> 00:14:33,775
Speaker 5: Good morning, Peter Rude. We have a mandarin tree that's

259
00:14:33,815 --> 00:14:37,575
Speaker 5: not behaving. It's its second year of fruiting. It gets

260
00:14:37,695 --> 00:14:43,335
Speaker 5: fed citrus fruit, the citrus fertilizer. It's watered properly, and

261
00:14:43,375 --> 00:14:47,735
Speaker 5: the fruit are dry. They look perfect, but the fruit's dry. Now,

262
00:14:47,975 --> 00:14:53,135
Speaker 5: every other tree, citrus tree is fine, And just wondering

263
00:14:53,175 --> 00:14:53,935
Speaker 5: would it be a dud?

264
00:14:54,935 --> 00:14:59,095
Speaker 3: When is this? When should this mandarin grow and fruit

265
00:14:59,255 --> 00:14:59,575
Speaker 3: and be.

266
00:15:00,055 --> 00:15:02,055
Speaker 5: Ready to go breating at the moment.

267
00:15:02,895 --> 00:15:09,175
Speaker 3: But would that be normally a winter thing? Mandarin's quite often, Yeah.

268
00:15:09,135 --> 00:15:11,735
Speaker 5: It's got fruit that should be ripe on it at

269
00:15:11,735 --> 00:15:14,455
Speaker 5: the moment. So use that is developing through the winter.

270
00:15:15,455 --> 00:15:18,215
Speaker 3: Okay, quite often if they've been left on the tree

271
00:15:18,255 --> 00:15:20,215
Speaker 3: too long, they might be getting dry.

272
00:15:20,335 --> 00:15:25,095
Speaker 5: No no, no, no no no no, Oka sayyeh.

273
00:15:25,135 --> 00:15:27,455
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't see it. So I'm just saying. Second

274
00:15:27,455 --> 00:15:30,575
Speaker 3: thing is if you have citrus fruit, that might work

275
00:15:30,615 --> 00:15:33,055
Speaker 3: as well. I know for a fact that quite a

276
00:15:33,095 --> 00:15:36,135
Speaker 3: few fruit trees give you a lot better and sweeter

277
00:15:36,495 --> 00:15:39,575
Speaker 3: fruit when you add a little bit of extra pottage

278
00:15:39,655 --> 00:15:40,175
Speaker 3: in the mix.

279
00:15:40,615 --> 00:15:43,815
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, that's.

280
00:15:43,135 --> 00:15:45,095
Speaker 3: The same sort of thing the self had of potage

281
00:15:45,095 --> 00:15:48,775
Speaker 3: that we talked about earlier. Is quite often the material

282
00:15:48,855 --> 00:15:52,135
Speaker 3: that is helping with the development of the fruit. And

283
00:15:52,135 --> 00:15:54,575
Speaker 3: that would also mean the moisture of it.

284
00:15:54,895 --> 00:15:57,175
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I use quite a bit of pottish with

285
00:15:57,295 --> 00:15:59,295
Speaker 5: the roses and they awfully out beautifully.

286
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:05,175
Speaker 8: So yeah, okay, so that that would be my guess

287
00:16:05,375 --> 00:16:10,535
Speaker 8: right now, your restriction exactly.

288
00:16:10,615 --> 00:16:12,295
Speaker 3: And the other thing is, of course, keep all the

289
00:16:12,295 --> 00:16:15,935
Speaker 3: weeds from no competitional fights around round you know what

290
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:16,255
Speaker 3: I mean.

291
00:16:16,815 --> 00:16:20,735
Speaker 5: Perfect, Let's be around that ring, you know, the ring

292
00:16:20,815 --> 00:16:23,575
Speaker 5: of the tree. He keeps it all nice and hold

293
00:16:23,655 --> 00:16:24,335
Speaker 5: up and everything.

294
00:16:24,615 --> 00:16:24,815
Speaker 8: Yeah.

295
00:16:25,415 --> 00:16:27,535
Speaker 3: So it's not you that's doing it. You've got you've

296
00:16:27,535 --> 00:16:28,815
Speaker 3: got a slave doing that.

297
00:16:29,375 --> 00:16:35,535
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, very good.

298
00:16:40,255 --> 00:16:43,255
Speaker 3: I love it. You sound like you know what you're doing.

299
00:16:43,375 --> 00:16:45,135
Speaker 2: Well done, appreciate the.

300
00:16:47,855 --> 00:16:48,015
Speaker 3: Rud.

301
00:16:48,055 --> 00:16:49,735
Speaker 4: We've got a minute and a half. So let's run

302
00:16:49,775 --> 00:16:54,255
Speaker 4: through some texts. Uh rud. Would an influx of Peruri

303
00:16:54,575 --> 00:16:57,135
Speaker 4: moths kill a peruri tree from Bill?

304
00:16:58,295 --> 00:17:05,135
Speaker 3: No? No, not at all. No, No, oh gosh, what

305
00:17:05,335 --> 00:17:08,895
Speaker 3: a question I am. So it doesn't occur into South

306
00:17:08,975 --> 00:17:11,695
Speaker 3: island and I'm so missing that that moth go on.

307
00:17:12,175 --> 00:17:14,015
Speaker 4: I tell you why, I'm in fascinated with the Periri

308
00:17:14,135 --> 00:17:16,735
Speaker 4: moths at the moment is my favorite Ruru. There's a

309
00:17:16,775 --> 00:17:20,695
Speaker 4: guy who's who's got mister and missus Ruru in his

310
00:17:21,535 --> 00:17:25,535
Speaker 4: in a box in his tree with three chicks now,

311
00:17:25,655 --> 00:17:28,055
Speaker 4: which is fabulous, and he posts about it every day.

312
00:17:28,375 --> 00:17:32,615
Speaker 4: And the mail rue brings in moths by the bucket

313
00:17:32,615 --> 00:17:35,855
Speaker 4: load by all accounts, as well as chicks from other species.

314
00:17:35,895 --> 00:17:40,135
Speaker 3: To be fair, I saw that at I had twenty

315
00:17:40,175 --> 00:17:44,015
Speaker 3: five those moths on my outside my door where I

316
00:17:44,055 --> 00:17:46,735
Speaker 3: was staying at Puka. You know the building anyway, No,

317

Speaker 3: it's stunning.

318
00:17:48,895 --> 00:17:52,055
Speaker 4: Right and treatment. Someone's had some ant treatment done around

319
00:17:52,055 --> 00:17:54,335
Speaker 4: the house. The guy who did the treatment said that

320
00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:56,095
Speaker 4: the lemon tree is the problem.

321
00:17:56,255 --> 00:17:56,975
Speaker 2: Is that true?

322
00:17:57,695 --> 00:18:00,575
Speaker 3: Not necessarily the lemon tree will only go. It's only

323
00:18:00,655 --> 00:18:02,975
Speaker 3: if it's got a scale or in that sort of

324
00:18:03,215 --> 00:18:05,495
Speaker 3: stuff that makes honey dew. That's when the ends come.

325
00:18:05,855 --> 00:18:06,135
Speaker 2: Right.

326
00:18:07,095 --> 00:18:11,095

Speaker 4: They've now the leaves have turned all brown. It has

328
00:18:14,015 --> 00:18:16,895
Speaker 4: been watered every day. Should I prune it back or

329
00:18:17,055 --> 00:18:19,295
Speaker 4: just hope overwater.

330
00:18:20,135 --> 00:18:24,295
Speaker 3: That's that's funny. I thought the same thing. Yeah, overwatering. Yeah, okay,

334
00:18:31,815 --> 00:18:34,055
Speaker 3: know there you might get new leaves. If that's case,

335
