1
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,773
Speaker 1: from News Talks at b.

3
00:00:13,093 --> 00:00:15,813
Speaker 2: Rude climb past as our man in the garden killed

4
00:00:15,813 --> 00:00:17,213
Speaker 2: her cura.

5
00:00:17,333 --> 00:00:19,573
Speaker 3: Jack, Is everything all right with your TOUI?

6
00:00:20,013 --> 00:00:22,333
Speaker 2: Everything is going very well with the toy, thank you.

7
00:00:22,373 --> 00:00:25,493
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm actually I'm actually leaving town for a

8
00:00:25,533 --> 00:00:27,053
Speaker 2: couple of days. So here's what I've had to do

9
00:00:27,093 --> 00:00:29,493
Speaker 2: with the bird feeders. I'm leaving town for five days

10
00:00:29,533 --> 00:00:32,733
Speaker 2: this week, and so I figured, I'm worried that I've

11
00:00:32,773 --> 00:00:36,213
Speaker 2: created a dependency for both the tohoe that the silver

12
00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:38,773
Speaker 2: Eyes and the toy. So I've been trying to wean

13
00:00:38,813 --> 00:00:41,973
Speaker 2: them off it. Not not not wean them off it completely,

14
00:00:42,013 --> 00:00:44,533
Speaker 2: but just try and reduce the dependency. So I've been

15
00:00:44,533 --> 00:00:46,893
Speaker 2: putting out a bottle every second day this week.

16
00:00:47,293 --> 00:00:49,653
Speaker 3: What do you think, Oh, good on you. Well, you

17
00:00:49,693 --> 00:00:52,853
Speaker 3: don't have to go that far. Honestly, they can cope

18
00:00:52,893 --> 00:00:56,453
Speaker 3: with that because they'll have other Jack teams in the neighborhood.

19
00:00:56,533 --> 00:00:58,573
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I know, But I just I didn't.

20
00:00:58,653 --> 00:01:01,933
Speaker 2: I would, you know, hate to hate to have them

21
00:01:01,973 --> 00:01:03,333
Speaker 2: starving while I'm away.

22
00:01:04,733 --> 00:01:07,493
Speaker 3: They were they were now, But honest I see my

23
00:01:07,933 --> 00:01:11,413
Speaker 3: my bell Berts and teh doing the same thing. They

24
00:01:11,493 --> 00:01:15,373
Speaker 3: do a circuit circuit literally around the neighborhood, and if

25
00:01:15,373 --> 00:01:17,893
Speaker 3: somebody goes on holiday or goes away or something like that,

26
00:01:17,973 --> 00:01:20,773
Speaker 3: they just go to somebody else, but they will always

27
00:01:20,893 --> 00:01:23,813
Speaker 3: come back to check you, yeah.

28
00:01:23,773 --> 00:01:25,653
Speaker 2: Just to make sure, like to check if it's there,

29
00:01:25,693 --> 00:01:28,093
Speaker 2: you mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

30
00:01:28,013 --> 00:01:30,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, to make sure that you haven't hung something up

31
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:34,213
Speaker 3: sneakily somewhere where they didn't know. It was nice.

32
00:01:34,293 --> 00:01:37,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. It's so so nice and just

33
00:01:37,213 --> 00:01:39,613
Speaker 2: one of those little things you can do during the

34
00:01:39,653 --> 00:01:42,013
Speaker 2: winter months. And of course that's what you're focusing on

35
00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:43,613
Speaker 2: this morning. Is this winter drags on?

36
00:01:44,653 --> 00:01:47,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do, in fact, yeah, and I'll talk a

37
00:01:47,253 --> 00:01:49,413
Speaker 3: little bit more about birds another day in a couple

38
00:01:49,453 --> 00:01:51,733
Speaker 3: of weeks time. But yeah, right at the moment, of course,

39
00:01:51,853 --> 00:01:55,853
Speaker 3: because it's winter, everything is slowed down and there is

40
00:01:56,093 --> 00:01:59,333
Speaker 3: basically not much growth going on, et cetera, et cetera,

41
00:01:59,333 --> 00:02:02,613
Speaker 3: et cetera. Plants are dormant, which actually helps because it

42
00:02:02,733 --> 00:02:07,013
Speaker 3: means that you can actually transplant them or or or

43
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,093
Speaker 3: cut them, you know what I mean, trim them and

44
00:02:09,133 --> 00:02:11,573
Speaker 3: do all that sort of stuff without causing a lot

45
00:02:11,613 --> 00:02:14,373
Speaker 3: of troubles, and a lot of people know that this

46
00:02:14,493 --> 00:02:17,613
Speaker 3: time of the year it's actually not a fabulous time

47
00:02:17,693 --> 00:02:20,413
Speaker 3: to go and fertilize them because they're not going to

48
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:24,093
Speaker 3: use the fertilizer. That's that's as simple as that. So

49
00:02:24,333 --> 00:02:27,093
Speaker 3: the np K that we normally use in spring and

50
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:31,573
Speaker 3: summer and autumn is no longer if you like required

51
00:02:31,733 --> 00:02:35,613
Speaker 3: as much. But here comes the thing. I often get

52
00:02:35,693 --> 00:02:38,613
Speaker 3: questions at this time of the year. For instance, why

53
00:02:38,733 --> 00:02:41,733
Speaker 3: is my lemon tree not fruiting that? Well, why isn't

54
00:02:41,813 --> 00:02:44,533
Speaker 3: producing fruit? And you get it for other trees of

55
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:46,773
Speaker 3: course in the in the other times of the year,

56
00:02:47,773 --> 00:02:49,813
Speaker 3: and and and that sort of you get those sort

57
00:02:49,813 --> 00:02:53,053
Speaker 3: of questions. And now now you get the questions, I've

58
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:57,093
Speaker 3: just been burning my fireplace or or or you know,

59
00:02:57,173 --> 00:03:02,413
Speaker 3: your ultra low emissions burner. Can I use that particular

60
00:03:02,533 --> 00:03:06,773
Speaker 3: ash as pot ash which is the k of n

61
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:07,173
Speaker 3: p K.

62
00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:09,653
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

63
00:03:09,733 --> 00:03:15,053
Speaker 3: Ye, yes, yes you can, absolutely can, but don't go

64
00:03:15,293 --> 00:03:18,093
Speaker 3: over the top. I would say, that's really not what

65
00:03:18,173 --> 00:03:20,973
Speaker 3: you need to do. So yes you can use it.

66
00:03:21,293 --> 00:03:24,093
Speaker 3: And basically what I do with my U L e

67
00:03:24,173 --> 00:03:27,893
Speaker 3: B I I scrape off the ashes from the from

68
00:03:27,893 --> 00:03:30,533
Speaker 3: the base if you like, from the base of the

69
00:03:30,613 --> 00:03:33,373
Speaker 3: of the of the the heater, and I take it

70
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:36,893
Speaker 3: into the garden and I literally spread it very thinly

71
00:03:37,733 --> 00:03:40,853
Speaker 3: over the root zone of the plants that are going

72
00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:43,813
Speaker 3: to be using flowers and fruit in a couple of

73
00:03:43,853 --> 00:03:48,213
Speaker 3: months time. If you would put it on too thick,

74
00:03:48,653 --> 00:03:53,053
Speaker 3: it almost acts like a what do you call it,

75
00:03:53,173 --> 00:03:56,773
Speaker 3: a layer of of of something that sticks to it.

76
00:03:56,773 --> 00:03:59,573
Speaker 3: It's it's not nice, it's what do you call it? Well,

77
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:02,413
Speaker 3: it's yeah, it's almost like cement, but it's not like that.

78
00:04:03,693 --> 00:04:05,133
Speaker 3: It's not too thick.

79
00:04:05,293 --> 00:04:06,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, okay, that's good.

80
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:09,973
Speaker 3: Okay, So that's number one, the ash from the fireplace. Yes,

81
00:04:10,053 --> 00:04:11,773
Speaker 3: you can use that. And that is of course the

82
00:04:11,853 --> 00:04:16,053
Speaker 3: K by the way, pot ash. Potash, which is the K,

83
00:04:16,813 --> 00:04:18,933
Speaker 3: by the way, case stands for carlium. Did you know

84
00:04:19,013 --> 00:04:22,933
Speaker 3: that kaleum. That's the Latin word for that particular K

85
00:04:23,213 --> 00:04:28,533
Speaker 3: in the periodic system, And it's actually only the English

86
00:04:28,573 --> 00:04:31,333
Speaker 3: and some other people have decided to call it potash,

87
00:04:31,453 --> 00:04:35,293
Speaker 3: but still use the K as the letter for the material.

88
00:04:35,533 --> 00:04:37,493
Speaker 3: That's an interesting thing to have a look at. Sodium

89
00:04:37,573 --> 00:04:40,453
Speaker 3: is another one natrium, But anyway, spread it around your

90
00:04:40,493 --> 00:04:43,133
Speaker 3: garden and do it when it's quite windy, so it

91
00:04:43,173 --> 00:04:47,173
Speaker 3: actually goes like a dust all over the place, and

92
00:04:47,333 --> 00:04:51,333
Speaker 3: slowly when it rains, it'll soak down into the ground.

93
00:04:51,773 --> 00:04:55,413
Speaker 3: And by the time comes October, September or even August,

94
00:04:55,413 --> 00:04:58,133
Speaker 3: sun plants and they start to the plants start to

95
00:04:58,213 --> 00:05:03,533
Speaker 3: look for nutrients, they suddenlyas are surrounded by the potash.

96
00:05:03,573 --> 00:05:06,293
Speaker 3: And that is going to be really cool for your

97
00:05:06,733 --> 00:05:10,453
Speaker 3: spring flowering and spring fruiting. Expectally what it's about.

98
00:05:10,573 --> 00:05:13,093
Speaker 2: Oh very good, Oh, thank you, that's great.

99
00:05:13,173 --> 00:05:13,333

Speaker 2: Hey are you a David Beckham fan?

103
00:05:17,653 --> 00:05:20,133
Speaker 3: I certainly am because I always watched the soccer like

00:05:20,173 --> 00:05:21,333
