00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:15,215
Speaker 1: from News Talks EDB Doing up the House, sorting the garden,

3
00:00:15,295 --> 00:00:18,175
Speaker 1: asked Pete for a hand The Resident Builder with Peter

Speaker 1: Wolfcamp and life Force Solar Solar Power done right cal eight.

5
00:00:24,295 --> 00:00:28,335
Speaker 2: News Talks ed B climb past. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Hell

6
00:00:28,375 --> 00:00:28,815
Speaker 2: are you sir?

7
00:00:29,295 --> 00:00:32,655
Speaker 3: I'm very good, Peter, and I love your little ramble

8
00:00:32,695 --> 00:00:34,855
Speaker 3: about the the y owl boxes again.

9
00:00:37,055 --> 00:00:37,855
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you what.

10
00:00:37,855 --> 00:00:39,455
Speaker 2: It was a bit of a surprise. I was thinking

11
00:00:39,495 --> 00:00:41,455
Speaker 2: back and I was singing, you know, if there was

12
00:00:41,455 --> 00:00:43,975
Speaker 2: one thing that I didn't expect to be building this year,

13
00:00:43,975 --> 00:00:46,495
Speaker 2: it would have to be ol boxes. But it's been

14
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:48,775
Speaker 2: huge pleasure, to be fair.

15
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:50,175
Speaker 4: It's good fun, isn't it.

16
00:00:50,335 --> 00:00:51,895
Speaker 2: I love it. It's been great.

17
00:00:51,735 --> 00:00:56,615
Speaker 3: But at about five six days ago before Christmas, we

18
00:00:56,615 --> 00:00:59,895
Speaker 3: we looked at a few boxes, the two young owls

19
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:03,335
Speaker 3: that we had last have left, yes, and we took

20
00:01:03,655 --> 00:01:08,695
Speaker 3: the whole interior droppings inside the box out of that

21
00:01:08,895 --> 00:01:10,855
Speaker 3: box and they are now going to be studied by

22
00:01:10,855 --> 00:01:14,575
Speaker 3: somebody at Kent Toby University. Aaron is going to look

23
00:01:14,615 --> 00:01:17,815
Speaker 3: at exactly what these things eat when they're young, they're

24
00:01:17,855 --> 00:01:20,815
Speaker 3: old and all that sort of stuff. And it's absolutely

25
00:01:20,855 --> 00:01:22,975
Speaker 3: wonderful what you can do with those boxes because you

26
00:01:22,975 --> 00:01:25,815
Speaker 3: can actually learn so much from these creatures.

27
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:28,055
Speaker 2: Like fantastic citizen science.

28
00:01:28,815 --> 00:01:32,055
Speaker 3: It's certainly well, no, this is real science, proper, this

29
00:01:32,135 --> 00:01:37,655
Speaker 3: is this is MSc or whatever it is PD whatever

30
00:01:37,695 --> 00:01:38,095
Speaker 3: you call it.

31
00:01:38,295 --> 00:01:41,895
Speaker 2: Fantastic, fantastic. Right, Oh, we've got a full boarder calls.

32
00:01:42,175 --> 00:01:45,015
Speaker 2: Let's rip into it. Roger, A very good morning to you.

33
00:01:45,735 --> 00:01:47,175
Speaker 5: Good morning, good morning.

34
00:01:47,815 --> 00:01:53,655
Speaker 6: What's time to play spy roses for what Roger bleck

35
00:01:53,695 --> 00:01:59,175
Speaker 6: spot and stuff for for a fungal disease? Yeah, just

36
00:01:59,295 --> 00:02:02,975
Speaker 6: a lot of roses. Yeah, and it is a for

37
00:02:03,135 --> 00:02:03,855
Speaker 6: the first time.

38
00:02:03,815 --> 00:02:04,455
Speaker 4: You to do it.

39
00:02:04,815 --> 00:02:06,415
Speaker 3: I would do it now if if I were you,

40
00:02:06,575 --> 00:02:09,455
Speaker 3: because the moment you get a good number of droplets

41
00:02:09,455 --> 00:02:12,175
Speaker 3: coming down from a rain shower, you'll find it is

42
00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:17,495
Speaker 3: basically it's basically vulnerable to get more infection. So in

43
00:02:17,535 --> 00:02:20,655
Speaker 3: this case, the fungicide you can use, for instance, Nature's

44
00:02:20,655 --> 00:02:25,135
Speaker 3: Way spray or whatever is basically protecting your roses from

45
00:02:25,175 --> 00:02:28,935
Speaker 3: being infected rather than having to cure cure it afterwards.

46
00:02:28,975 --> 00:02:34,775
Speaker 3: You know, I am have a go now.

47
00:02:33,735 --> 00:02:37,335
Speaker 2: All this and Ian A very good morning to you,

48
00:02:38,455 --> 00:02:44,295
Speaker 2: good morning, go for it.

49
00:02:44,695 --> 00:02:49,055
Speaker 5: We've got Christmas bugs arrive every Christmas in the Coramandle

50
00:02:50,055 --> 00:02:54,135
Speaker 5: and they're coming plague proportions. Come after dark or you

51
00:02:54,175 --> 00:02:57,375
Speaker 5: know it's going dusk and just where a head for

52
00:02:57,535 --> 00:03:01,095
Speaker 5: light apparently, and drive your nuts. In the morning, they're

53
00:03:01,095 --> 00:03:05,375
Speaker 5: piled up again the again your doors or the window

54
00:03:05,455 --> 00:03:09,655
Speaker 5: sills and the stuff them.

55
00:03:10,055 --> 00:03:12,375
Speaker 4: Now, can you describe them? First of all? Ian?

56
00:03:13,575 --> 00:03:17,055
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're little bugs maybe three quarters of an inch long.

57
00:03:17,455 --> 00:03:22,735
Speaker 5: They fly, yeah, and they have got hard backs. When

58
00:03:22,775 --> 00:03:24,255
Speaker 5: you stand on them, they crunch.

59
00:03:24,855 --> 00:03:25,295
Speaker 4: That's right.

60
00:03:25,775 --> 00:03:33,535
Speaker 5: Color They are a brownie color. Okay. I've done my

61
00:03:33,615 --> 00:03:36,175
Speaker 5: computer for them, and they do call them Christmas bogs

62
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:36,615
Speaker 5: there too.

63
00:03:37,935 --> 00:03:39,815
Speaker 4: In where in Australia?

64
00:03:41,015 --> 00:03:43,695
Speaker 5: No, in New Zealand and the Coramandle here.

65
00:03:43,815 --> 00:03:47,495
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, but yeah, okay. The problem is

66
00:03:47,535 --> 00:03:50,055
Speaker 3: there are Christmas bugs in Australia. And what you might

67
00:03:50,135 --> 00:03:53,775
Speaker 3: have here is that doesn't matter. The ones that I hear,

68
00:03:53,855 --> 00:03:57,775
Speaker 3: the smaller ones are the beatles that are actually flying

69
00:03:57,855 --> 00:04:02,415
Speaker 3: indeed late late spring and early summer, and they actually

70
00:04:02,455 --> 00:04:05,175
Speaker 3: eat the leaves of your plants, your trees quite often

71
00:04:05,215 --> 00:04:07,575
Speaker 3: fruit trees, right right.

72
00:04:08,015 --> 00:04:10,215
Speaker 4: Have you seen that? Have you seen holes in leaves.

73
00:04:10,015 --> 00:04:14,455
Speaker 5: Now now I've just seen holes in poka trees around here.

74
00:04:14,455 --> 00:04:17,015
Speaker 5: But they're big. I think they're bigger than the beetle

75
00:04:17,055 --> 00:04:18,455
Speaker 5: that eat I don't know what.

76
00:04:20,855 --> 00:04:23,775
Speaker 4: The thing with these creatures is, the brown ones.

77
00:04:25,295 --> 00:04:28,655
Speaker 3: Is the fact that they basically eat foliage, which in

78
00:04:28,695 --> 00:04:31,215
Speaker 3: itself is not a big deal, to be quite honest,

79
00:04:31,255 --> 00:04:36,055
Speaker 3: because most plants will replace the eaten foliage by getting

80
00:04:36,095 --> 00:04:40,055
Speaker 3: new leaves created, if you like. The second thing is

81
00:04:40,055 --> 00:04:43,495
Speaker 3: that when they finally have eaten their foliage, they lay

82
00:04:43,535 --> 00:04:46,655
Speaker 3: their eggs right down in the ground, because it's their

83
00:04:46,735 --> 00:04:51,055
Speaker 3: babies that eat the roots of the plants as well.

84
00:04:51,975 --> 00:04:55,935
Speaker 3: And the problem is it is really hard to predict

85
00:04:56,015 --> 00:05:00,095
Speaker 3: when they strike, where they strike, what night they come, where,

86
00:05:00,215 --> 00:05:03,095
Speaker 3: et cetera. They are attracted to lights, I must say,

87
00:05:03,455 --> 00:05:05,975
Speaker 3: but it's really difficult to actually.

88
00:05:05,615 --> 00:05:07,495
Speaker 4: Keep them under control in this case.

89
00:05:07,935 --> 00:05:10,535
Speaker 3: The best thing is that I've noticed here is that

90
00:05:10,575 --> 00:05:12,575
Speaker 3: I've got some magpies, and I've got all sorts of

91
00:05:12,615 --> 00:05:15,855
Speaker 3: other creatures that get them in the evening, especially owls.

92
00:05:15,895 --> 00:05:18,535
Speaker 3: I find them in the old droppings as well. They

93
00:05:18,575 --> 00:05:20,815
Speaker 3: come and pick them up at night and they eat

94
00:05:20,895 --> 00:05:23,455
Speaker 3: them basically as they can see them in the middle

95
00:05:23,455 --> 00:05:24,135
Speaker 3: of the night.

96
00:05:24,335 --> 00:05:24,895
Speaker 4: Just like that.

97
00:05:26,095 --> 00:05:29,495
Speaker 5: Thanks for that. We do have like millions of them

98
00:05:29,535 --> 00:05:32,295
Speaker 5: that come and the vacuuming them up is about the

99
00:05:32,335 --> 00:05:34,615
Speaker 5: only way to get rid of them. That's probably the

100
00:05:34,695 --> 00:05:37,175
Speaker 5: right plastic bag because of the thrown and the rubbish

101
00:05:37,175 --> 00:05:38,615
Speaker 5: spin they'll get going again.

102
00:05:39,255 --> 00:05:39,975
Speaker 4: Yeah that's right.

103
00:05:40,455 --> 00:05:42,615
Speaker 3: Or or in this case, put them in a container

104
00:05:42,615 --> 00:05:44,055
Speaker 3: and chuck them in the freezer for a while.

105
00:05:45,095 --> 00:05:45,535
Speaker 5: Uh huh.

106
00:05:46,135 --> 00:05:48,055
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the only way to do it.

107
00:05:48,735 --> 00:05:52,695
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, they will go eventually, but they're a bit

108
00:05:52,735 --> 00:05:54,615
Speaker 5: of a nuisance at the moment, and I think a

109
00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:56,695
Speaker 5: lot of the people that live post the sea are

110
00:05:56,695 --> 00:05:58,175
Speaker 5: afflicted by them.

111
00:05:58,255 --> 00:05:58,655
Speaker 4: Yeah.

112
00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:02,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that their impact on your tree,

113
00:06:02,615 --> 00:06:06,215
Speaker 3: shrubs and plants is that great. Yes, I know they creak,

114
00:06:06,335 --> 00:06:09,815
Speaker 3: create holes, and people get really really upset about the holes.

115
00:06:09,935 --> 00:06:12,695
Speaker 3: But the interesting thing is, as I said before, that

116
00:06:12,895 --> 00:06:17,175
Speaker 3: holes are being replaced by new leaves by the plant. Basically,

117
00:06:17,215 --> 00:06:21,175
Speaker 3: it's a it's a system of repairing the tree and

118
00:06:21,215 --> 00:06:22,935
Speaker 3: that's what they do, so it's not a big deal.

119
00:06:24,015 --> 00:06:26,895
Speaker 5: We have a lot of bush around us and we're

120
00:06:26,935 --> 00:06:30,375
Speaker 5: not concerned about what it does to the bush. Briss

121
00:06:30,455 --> 00:06:32,935
Speaker 5: because you can't see any difference. But it's just that

122
00:06:33,015 --> 00:06:36,255
Speaker 5: they pile up in heaps around your windows, and they

123
00:06:38,335 --> 00:06:41,135
Speaker 5: and whatever around your house, and there are a hell

124
00:06:41,175 --> 00:06:43,255
Speaker 5: of a thing to get rid of or to clean

125
00:06:43,335 --> 00:06:45,975
Speaker 5: up every day. Every day you've got to do vacuuming

126
00:06:46,015 --> 00:06:49,775
Speaker 5: outside on decks and areas like that that are exposed

127
00:06:49,815 --> 00:06:54,375
Speaker 5: to the light at night open. So got to help you.

128
00:06:54,975 --> 00:06:56,135
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember, I remember.

129
00:06:57,695 --> 00:06:59,695
Speaker 3: We had them a lot in Tity Rangy and in

130
00:06:59,695 --> 00:07:01,855
Speaker 3: in meadow Bank where we used to live. And to

131
00:07:01,895 --> 00:07:05,375
Speaker 3: be quite honest, the original common name is bronze beetle,

132
00:07:05,655 --> 00:07:13,295
Speaker 3: the bronze beetle, bronze. There you are, Thank you for that, welcome.

133
00:07:13,095 --> 00:07:17,295
Speaker 2: Thank you very very much. Hey, quick texture, someone's building

134
00:07:17,335 --> 00:07:21,015
Speaker 2: a box. Funnily enough, do we put ventilation holes in

135
00:07:21,055 --> 00:07:23,335
Speaker 2: the base plus the bark? I'm looking forward to watching

136
00:07:23,375 --> 00:07:25,735
Speaker 2: the owls from robin holes.

137
00:07:26,055 --> 00:07:28,455
Speaker 4: No, no, no, you don't need ventilation holes because they

138
00:07:28,495 --> 00:07:31,135
Speaker 4: go in to this. There's always movement of air there.

139
00:07:31,415 --> 00:07:33,415
Speaker 4: Don't worry, no, don't worry about it at all.

140
00:07:33,855 --> 00:07:35,215
Speaker 2: I was going to say, do I need to add

141
00:07:35,215 --> 00:07:36,695
Speaker 2: like a little dormer or something like that.

142
00:07:38,015 --> 00:07:38,735
Speaker 4: Now you've got it.

143
00:07:38,775 --> 00:07:40,815
Speaker 3: No, no, because you need to get their checked by

144
00:07:40,855 --> 00:07:42,335
Speaker 3: the council every six months.

145
00:07:46,375 --> 00:07:50,055
Speaker 7: Robin a very good morning to you, Oh good morning

146
00:07:50,135 --> 00:07:58,135
Speaker 7: road hippie Christmas and say to you ro thank you.

147
00:07:59,175 --> 00:08:01,895
Speaker 7: Now I hear the major issue with ryegrass. I believe

148
00:08:01,975 --> 00:08:03,895
Speaker 7: that's what it does. It's like it looks like and

149
00:08:03,895 --> 00:08:06,095
Speaker 7: it's got all those little pustles and it's just like

150
00:08:06,095 --> 00:08:09,415
Speaker 7: a like yellow color and it's all over my grass.

151
00:08:09,695 --> 00:08:14,175
Speaker 7: So obviously when I'm the lawns seen it just reeplants

152
00:08:14,175 --> 00:08:19,215
Speaker 7: all the seeds. Yeah, so how do I get rid

153
00:08:19,255 --> 00:08:19,655
Speaker 7: of it?

154
00:08:20,535 --> 00:08:20,735
Speaker 5: Well?

155
00:08:20,855 --> 00:08:28,375
Speaker 7: Literally hardly need grass list And.

156
00:08:25,895 --> 00:08:28,495
Speaker 3: That's the point because if you had to see there

157
00:08:28,495 --> 00:08:32,095
Speaker 3: are there are there are weed killers that only do

158
00:08:32,295 --> 00:08:37,135
Speaker 3: grass or only doing non grass. But in this case,

159
00:08:37,175 --> 00:08:40,535
Speaker 3: you've got a grass that is a weed inside your lawn.

160
00:08:41,015 --> 00:08:43,335
Speaker 3: So you only get rid of the lot and spread

161
00:08:43,375 --> 00:08:46,135
Speaker 3: a whole lot and start redoing it. But where does

162
00:08:46,175 --> 00:08:48,535
Speaker 3: it come from? Where does the seed come from? Does

163
00:08:48,535 --> 00:08:51,455
Speaker 3: this fly in? Does it go in the wind on

164
00:08:51,495 --> 00:08:52,135
Speaker 3: your feet?

165
00:08:53,215 --> 00:08:56,335
Speaker 7: You thought there was there was a fiction over the

166
00:08:56,335 --> 00:08:58,735
Speaker 7: back now building on it, but it was covered in

167
00:08:58,815 --> 00:09:02,335
Speaker 7: it and it's flying over from from the back neighbor.

168
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:06,255
Speaker 4: It's it's it's not that horrific. Barely grass?

169
00:09:06,415 --> 00:09:11,255
Speaker 7: Is it quite possibly? I just thought it might be

170
00:09:11,335 --> 00:09:13,735
Speaker 7: rye grass. I don't know. It's just it's got like well,

171
00:09:13,855 --> 00:09:15,735
Speaker 7: I think I've got both. I've got the ones with

172
00:09:15,895 --> 00:09:18,695
Speaker 7: the quite big long seeds on it, and then I've

173
00:09:18,695 --> 00:09:21,015
Speaker 7: got the little fine ones that grow up as well.

174
00:09:21,975 --> 00:09:24,055
Speaker 7: And the thing is, I've got a fluffy pussy cat

175
00:09:24,175 --> 00:09:27,015
Speaker 7: and she gets them stuck in a fear and I

176
00:09:27,015 --> 00:09:30,055
Speaker 7: don't want them to get into a skin because they can't.

177
00:09:30,455 --> 00:09:35,215
Speaker 7: You become quite infected in things. So that's the yeah,

178
00:09:35,255 --> 00:09:36,775
Speaker 7: But I just want to get rid of it anyway,

179
00:09:36,775 --> 00:09:38,095
Speaker 7: because it's just ugly.

180
00:09:39,015 --> 00:09:40,415
Speaker 4: Is your is your lawn lade?

181
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:49,295
Speaker 7: It's I've got a front on the back side that

182
00:09:49,495 --> 00:09:52,295
Speaker 7: goes around the house. I wouldn't say it's large large.

183
00:09:52,415 --> 00:09:58,015
Speaker 7: I mean it's probably about five meters. I ate at

184
00:09:58,015 --> 00:10:00,775
Speaker 7: the front, and that the flame at the side and

185
00:10:00,815 --> 00:10:04,055
Speaker 7: then the flame at the back, so the nel shape.

186
00:10:04,415 --> 00:10:08,295
Speaker 3: Would it be visual to pull the things out individually

187
00:10:08,335 --> 00:10:09,615
Speaker 3: and leave your lawn as it is?

188
00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:11,975
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

189
00:10:12,135 --> 00:10:14,895
Speaker 7: Yeah? Well, I had thought of that is I might

190
00:10:14,975 --> 00:10:17,775
Speaker 7: need to get a crew and grandkids.

191
00:10:18,135 --> 00:10:20,895
Speaker 3: Grandkids are good at that, and especially this down of

192
00:10:20,895 --> 00:10:22,135
Speaker 3: the year when they need some money.

193
00:10:23,495 --> 00:10:25,935
Speaker 7: Yeah, true, true, I have got a niece n here

194
00:10:26,015 --> 00:10:27,015
Speaker 7: that I could employ.

195
00:10:27,935 --> 00:10:29,295
Speaker 4: There you go. That's one.

196
00:10:29,415 --> 00:10:31,455
Speaker 3: The other thing, and this is something I talked to

197
00:10:31,655 --> 00:10:35,295
Speaker 3: Francisco about some time ago. Get rid of it, spray everything,

198
00:10:35,495 --> 00:10:39,735
Speaker 3: and get yourself a wildflower lawn that you don't have

199
00:10:39,815 --> 00:10:43,895
Speaker 3: to mow, and that will be totally different in terms

200
00:10:43,895 --> 00:10:49,535
Speaker 3: of looks, and it'll give you wildflower seeds, just wildflower seeds,

201
00:10:49,575 --> 00:10:52,535
Speaker 3: so many different species of plant that grow in that

202
00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:55,175
Speaker 3: become your lawn. And you can then if you like,

203
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:57,815
Speaker 3: make a little a little you can mow a little

204
00:10:57,895 --> 00:11:00,175
Speaker 3: trek through that if you want to go from A

205
00:11:00,295 --> 00:11:02,255
Speaker 3: to B in your lawn for instance, you know.

206
00:11:02,415 --> 00:11:07,535
Speaker 7: Yeah washing nine yeah, okay, So want kind of thing

207
00:11:07,655 --> 00:11:08,095
Speaker 7: to kill it?

208
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:08,455
Speaker 4: Do?

209
00:11:08,575 --> 00:11:10,655
Speaker 7: I use to kill it or rough.

210
00:11:11,095 --> 00:11:15,495
Speaker 3: Or anything and any anything such as round up and

211
00:11:15,575 --> 00:11:17,855
Speaker 3: a control and all the things that get rid of

212
00:11:17,935 --> 00:11:20,295
Speaker 3: your of grass, of any grass, and.

213
00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:22,815
Speaker 7: Any glass sort of get rid of the whole off

214
00:11:24,335 --> 00:11:30,495
Speaker 7: again and plant the seeds like it. Because sometimes when

215
00:11:31,135 --> 00:11:33,135
Speaker 7: I was told when you use round up or something,

216
00:11:33,175 --> 00:11:37,615
Speaker 7: you can't plant anything for a few months because it's

217
00:11:37,615 --> 00:11:38,895
Speaker 7: still in the soil or something.

218
00:11:39,255 --> 00:11:41,335
Speaker 3: No, it's not that long. You can do that within

219
00:11:41,375 --> 00:11:42,695
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks, no.

220
00:11:42,575 --> 00:11:47,455
Speaker 7: Problem, Okay, a couple of weeks yep, very quick of

221
00:11:47,495 --> 00:11:53,215
Speaker 7: a question. Yeah, silver beate, broccoli and collie. So what

222
00:11:53,255 --> 00:11:55,375
Speaker 7: would I use to fertilize those?

223
00:11:55,615 --> 00:11:55,695
Speaker 6: Like?

224
00:11:55,775 --> 00:11:59,095
Speaker 7: Do I use salt, spate of pofish or no?

225
00:11:59,175 --> 00:11:59,975
Speaker 4: Not necessarily.

226
00:12:00,055 --> 00:12:02,855
Speaker 3: You can do a general fertilizer like a rose fertilizer

227
00:12:03,335 --> 00:12:05,175
Speaker 3: or something like that, very very similar.

228
00:12:06,015 --> 00:12:09,215
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, lovely.

229
00:12:08,975 --> 00:12:12,415

Speaker 8: hands and knees, and of course you've got to keep

237
00:12:34,695 --> 00:12:37,135

00:12:43,215 --> 00:12:45,695
Speaker 8: got to put up with and just keep pulling it out.

241
00:12:46,215 --> 00:12:48,815
Speaker 3: The problem, this is the problem if you start spraying

242
00:12:48,895 --> 00:12:51,015
Speaker 3: and you've got some desirable plants in between.

243
00:12:51,095 --> 00:12:53,415
Speaker 4: It's really hard not there the others, isn't it.

244

Speaker 8: That's right? Yeah, I know some when I'm pulling it

245
00:12:56,375 --> 00:12:59,415
Speaker 8: out to be careful, I don't wraps around all the

246
00:12:59,775 --> 00:13:01,495
Speaker 8: center of the flowers. And you've got to take care

247
00:13:01,495 --> 00:13:03,615
Speaker 8: if you don't wreck the flowers. And so is it

248
00:13:03,735 --> 00:13:05,135
Speaker 8: just a job you just got to put up with

249
00:13:05,215 --> 00:13:07,055
Speaker 8: them and people?

250
00:13:07,695 --> 00:13:10,615
Speaker 3: Or is it would you be able to do the

251
00:13:10,615 --> 00:13:13,615
Speaker 3: weeding in between yours your good plants?

252
00:13:14,495 --> 00:13:16,975
Speaker 8: Oh yes, yes, yes, but I know that I was

253
00:13:17,015 --> 00:13:19,895
Speaker 8: doing it yesterday and it's come up some. It comes

254
00:13:19,975 --> 00:13:23,095
Speaker 8: up through the center them as well. You know you see.

255
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:25,735
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's too hard, isn't it.

256
00:13:25,735 --> 00:13:27,935
Speaker 3: No, do it by hand, or get yourself a Clark

257
00:13:28,255 --> 00:13:31,855
Speaker 3: cultivator there you go. Oh you know what if you

258
00:13:31,975 --> 00:13:34,135
Speaker 3: mentioned the fact that you heard this on the radio,

259
00:13:34,415 --> 00:13:37,575
Speaker 3: go to the Clark Cultivator, you know, on the website,

260
00:13:37,935 --> 00:13:40,255
Speaker 3: and they'll give you something like thirty three percent off.

261
00:13:40,415 --> 00:13:42,815
Speaker 4: I've just thought, being Dutch, I might be able to

262
00:13:42,815 --> 00:13:43,575
Speaker 4: tell you that.

263
00:13:45,215 --> 00:13:49,495

Speaker 2: Made go well, I tell you what with some of

266
00:13:54,495 --> 00:13:56,415
Speaker 2: the because I've did the same thing right, these weeds

267
00:13:56,415 --> 00:13:58,215
Speaker 2: coming up in the garden in between things that I

268
00:13:58,255 --> 00:14:02,015
Speaker 2: don't want to kill. So in those cases, I've used

269
00:14:02,055 --> 00:14:04,775
Speaker 2: those little bottle that you can literally brush it on

270
00:14:04,975 --> 00:14:09,735
Speaker 2: individual plants. It's time consuming, but at least you get

271
00:14:09,775 --> 00:14:10,895
Speaker 2: it down into the roots and.

272
00:14:11,815 --> 00:14:13,855
Speaker 3: You know that you're not taking the ones you don't

273
00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:16,015
Speaker 3: want to pill. Yeah, you know, I totally agree, But

274
00:14:16,095 --> 00:14:18,815
Speaker 3: that's a painting job. It's almost like a painting pretty much.

275
00:14:18,975 --> 00:14:21,975
Speaker 3: Make sure you're Shall we take a break and company.

276
00:14:22,815 --> 00:14:25,255
Speaker 3: We'll talk to back in the moment here in news.

277
00:14:25,295 --> 00:14:28,135
Speaker 3: It'll be a couple of minutes to go, and it

278
00:14:28,175 --> 00:14:30,455
Speaker 3: is with me. Gail, A very good morning to you.

279
00:14:31,535 --> 00:14:35,535
Speaker 9: Good morning, Pete and Ruth. I'm very upset. My small

280
00:14:35,615 --> 00:14:40,415
Speaker 9: flowering peach is covered on peaches, which we love. But

281
00:14:41,175 --> 00:14:44,375
Speaker 9: the leaves on the end of a few of the

282
00:14:44,455 --> 00:14:48,375
Speaker 9: branches are terrible. They're sort of brown dying, and the

283
00:14:48,455 --> 00:14:51,015
Speaker 9: peaches are affected. Can I spray it with.

284
00:14:51,135 --> 00:14:55,815
Speaker 3: Something you could try if it's Do you think that

285
00:14:55,855 --> 00:14:58,735
Speaker 3: it's leaf curl? Can that be a description of those

286
00:14:58,815 --> 00:15:01,255
Speaker 3: leaves that become yellowish inside the curl?

287
00:15:01,495 --> 00:15:01,735
Speaker 4: No?

288
00:15:02,135 --> 00:15:03,495
Speaker 9: No, it's leaf dying.

289
00:15:04,775 --> 00:15:09,655
Speaker 4: Leaf dying. Okay, that's not nice. Oh gosh, golly, and

290
00:15:09,695 --> 00:15:11,095
Speaker 4: different color you said as.

291
00:15:10,975 --> 00:15:15,015
Speaker 9: Well, dark bombs and they look just horrible.

292
00:15:15,575 --> 00:15:20,455
Speaker 3: Oh, cheapest creepers look without really seeing it. I find

293
00:15:20,455 --> 00:15:23,175
Speaker 3: it really hard to diagnose something without seeing it, you

294
00:15:23,215 --> 00:15:25,575
Speaker 3: know what I mean. If it is if it is

295
00:15:25,615 --> 00:15:28,135
Speaker 3: a fungal disease. If you think it's a fungal disease,

296
00:15:28,615 --> 00:15:33,535
Speaker 3: get yourself, get yourself something like a material that yates

297
00:15:33,815 --> 00:15:41,335
Speaker 3: nature's way fungus. Spray at least copper that contains copper

298
00:15:41,495 --> 00:15:42,295
Speaker 3: and sulfur.

299
00:15:43,335 --> 00:15:45,095
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I mentioned it.

300
00:15:47,255 --> 00:15:49,895
Speaker 3: You can use just copper, but if you use copper

301
00:15:49,935 --> 00:15:52,095
Speaker 3: and sulfur, you have a wider reach.

302
00:15:52,175 --> 00:15:54,575
Speaker 9: If you like, oh I see, thank you.

303
00:15:54,735 --> 00:15:57,295
Speaker 3: And the reason is then you will stop the spread

304
00:15:57,335 --> 00:16:00,415
Speaker 3: through this at this moment, still healthy leaves, you know

305
00:16:00,415 --> 00:16:05,975
Speaker 3: what I mean. Yeah, yeah, it's it's really hard to

306
00:16:05,975 --> 00:16:08,215
Speaker 3: do that. Yeah, I hope it's going to work for you.

307
00:16:08,295 --> 00:16:11,375
Speaker 4: Girl. It's a pain and to bum sometimes these things,

308
00:16:11,375 --> 00:16:13,015
Speaker 4: but there you go. Yeah.

309
00:16:13,175 --> 00:16:16,295
Speaker 9: Can you eat the peats after spraying with Nature's.

310
00:16:16,015 --> 00:16:19,015
Speaker 3: Right, Yes you can, And that's why I mentioned it,

311
00:16:19,055 --> 00:16:20,255
Speaker 3: Because it's an edible plant.

312
00:16:20,295 --> 00:16:22,015
Speaker 4: You wash your pitches and you'll be fine.

313
00:16:22,855 --> 00:16:24,575
Speaker 9: Okay, that's fantastic.

314
00:16:25,175 --> 00:16:29,455
Speaker 2: Thank you, Gail, take care, all the best and all

315
00:16:29,535 --> 00:16:33,255
Speaker 2: the very best to you for New Year, and again

316
00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:36,375
Speaker 2: my thanks to you for your contribution. And I think

317
00:16:36,415 --> 00:16:40,255
Speaker 2: that people I don't know underestimate the impact that you

318
00:16:41,055 --> 00:16:45,935
Speaker 2: have in terms of sort of raising awareness and the

319
00:16:46,095 --> 00:16:49,495
Speaker 2: education side of what you do. And I would imagine

320
00:16:49,495 --> 00:16:51,735
Speaker 2: that it must be if you took a moment, you

321
00:16:51,815 --> 00:16:53,775
Speaker 2: probably don't do this, but if you took a moment,

322
00:16:53,855 --> 00:16:56,535
Speaker 2: stood back and went, hey, I was part of this

323
00:16:56,735 --> 00:17:01,215
Speaker 2: rejuvenation of people restoring wetlands and looking up. You know,

324
00:17:01,375 --> 00:17:03,735
Speaker 2: you'd have to say, you'd have to put yourself on

325
00:17:03,735 --> 00:17:05,015
Speaker 2: the back, and I bet you don't do it, So

326
00:17:05,055 --> 00:17:05,655
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it.

327
00:17:06,495 --> 00:17:06,775
Speaker 4: Thank you.

328
00:17:06,815 --> 00:17:08,735
Speaker 3: It's lovely to say, but you do the same thing.

329
00:17:08,895 --> 00:17:10,855
Speaker 3: I mean, this is exactly what the world should be

330
00:17:10,855 --> 00:17:11,415
Speaker 3: about today.

331
00:17:12,695 --> 00:17:15,015
Speaker 4: This is it. That's why I'm wearing my wingspan.
