But I 23 00:01:14,735 --> 00:01:19,815 Speaker 2: can imagine it is phenomenally wasteful. And I mean, you know, 24 00:01:19,295 --> 00:01:24,175 Speaker 2: you're driven by looking to protect the environment from a 25 00:01:24,295 --> 00:01:26,695 Speaker 2: nature point of view, and I've got a similar event, 26 00:01:26,775 --> 00:01:29,295 Speaker 2: but from what do we do with our waste point 27 00:01:29,335 --> 00:01:29,615 Speaker 2: of view? 28 00:01:29,695 --> 00:01:33,895 Speaker 4: So, oh the waste.

We'll talk to 85 00:03:54,735 --> 00:04:04,775 Speaker 2: Colin in just a moment. Radio. Let's get into it. Colin, 86 00:04:04,935 --> 00:04:06,695 Speaker 2: a very very good morning to you. 87 00:04:07,815 --> 00:04:12,255 Speaker 6: Good morning. I've got a problem for rude. I live 88 00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:14,975 Speaker 6: in Nelson, and last year I developed another patch of 89 00:04:15,175 --> 00:04:19,895 Speaker 6: veggie garden which I grew cucumbers, eggplants, and zucchinis. And 90 00:04:20,495 --> 00:04:24,055 Speaker 6: now the cucumbers didn't color. They were sort of a 91 00:04:24,135 --> 00:04:27,095 Speaker 6: lemon to lime green, never not the nice dark green. 92 00:04:27,575 --> 00:04:32,175 Speaker 6: And the eggplants colored was a battleship gray. I'm just wondering, 93 00:04:32,175 --> 00:04:34,055 Speaker 6: what's deficient in that piece of soil. 94 00:04:34,855 --> 00:04:38,335 Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds that sounds really weird. Light green indicates 95 00:04:38,335 --> 00:04:40,095 Speaker 4: that you might need a bit of nitrogen. What did 96 00:04:40,135 --> 00:04:44,015 Speaker 4: you put for soil in your new patch some of. 97 00:04:43,975 --> 00:04:45,655 Speaker 6: My homemade compost? 98 00:04:45,935 --> 00:04:48,695 Speaker 3: Ah? Ah? Did? 99 00:04:48,975 --> 00:04:53,335 Speaker 4: Was there any mineral or mineral oil? Mineral if you like, 100 00:04:54,615 --> 00:04:55,695 Speaker 4: soil there as well? 101 00:04:56,895 --> 00:04:57,415 Speaker 3: Rather than. 102 00:04:59,175 --> 00:05:02,295 Speaker 6: No, I dug all all the soil out because it 103 00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:05,975 Speaker 6: was it wasn't being productive. I couldn't couldn't even grow 104 00:05:05,975 --> 00:05:08,215 Speaker 6: weed in it. So I got rid of that and 105 00:05:08,695 --> 00:05:10,455 Speaker 6: put to compost. Then. 106 00:05:11,135 --> 00:05:14,295 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but you know compost is an organic material 107 00:05:14,375 --> 00:05:18,535 Speaker 4: that does not contain any mineral substance. No clay, no saying, no, 108 00:05:18,655 --> 00:05:22,095 Speaker 4: nothing like that. It does pay to mix those things in, 109 00:05:22,215 --> 00:05:25,015 Speaker 4: though it does pay to have I know what you're 110 00:05:25,055 --> 00:05:27,615 Speaker 4: saying about soil can be rubbish because I'm working at 111 00:05:27,655 --> 00:05:30,175 Speaker 4: the moment on the soil that I totally hate and 112 00:05:30,215 --> 00:05:32,255 Speaker 4: it's far to clay, and you know what I mean, 113 00:05:32,295 --> 00:05:35,495 Speaker 4: and it's just it's awful. I was nearly going to 114 00:05:35,535 --> 00:05:38,535 Speaker 4: say something that starts with an ess and ends with it, 115 00:05:38,575 --> 00:05:43,015 Speaker 4: but that's another story, you know what I mean. But 116 00:05:43,135 --> 00:05:45,975 Speaker 4: you need to have a mixture of your organic material, 117 00:05:46,015 --> 00:05:49,495 Speaker 4: which your own compost brilliant good, but please use some 118 00:05:49,735 --> 00:05:53,815 Speaker 4: scent or clay or whatever or mineral material in it 119 00:05:53,855 --> 00:05:56,975 Speaker 4: as well. I think that might be the case that 120 00:05:57,055 --> 00:05:58,655 Speaker 4: you don't have a good balance. 121 00:06:00,535 --> 00:06:03,375 Speaker 6: Yep, yep, So thank you for that. 122 00:06:03,855 --> 00:06:07,175 Speaker 4: I'll work on that and you'll find that if you 123 00:06:07,255 --> 00:06:10,135 Speaker 4: then put some normal fertilizer on it and you can 124 00:06:10,175 --> 00:06:12,455 Speaker 4: mix that in. Once you've mixed it up very well, 125 00:06:12,815 --> 00:06:15,775 Speaker 4: your plants will actually start making all the right colors 126 00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:18,695 Speaker 4: that you like, which is, you know, the typical green 127 00:06:18,815 --> 00:06:22,215 Speaker 4: colors for the kukees and the glossy purple. If you 128 00:06:22,375 --> 00:06:25,175 Speaker 4: like that, you get for your for your egg plants. 129 00:06:25,975 --> 00:06:26,135 Speaker 6: Yea. 130 00:06:26,775 --> 00:06:27,015 Speaker 3: Yeah. 131 00:06:27,175 --> 00:06:29,815 Speaker 6: The funny thing is also had zucchinis and there and 132 00:06:29,855 --> 00:06:31,295 Speaker 6: they colored up good as gold. 133 00:06:32,215 --> 00:06:32,255 Speaker 1: Ha. 134 00:06:32,975 --> 00:06:34,255 Speaker 3: That's interesting, isn't it. 135 00:06:34,375 --> 00:06:34,615 Speaker 6: Yeah? 136 00:06:35,015 --> 00:06:38,055 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think it's the mix. That's my guess. 137 00:06:39,935 --> 00:06:41,055 Speaker 6: Rude. Thank you very much for that. 138 00:06:41,815 --> 00:06:44,655 Speaker 2: Welcome all of this to Colin.

Marrion, Hello, Hello. 141 00:06:53,015 --> 00:07:03,295 Speaker 5: Hi, hi Rose. I've got some seeds and I had 142 00:07:03,295 --> 00:07:07,775 Speaker 5: them for about a year and one was Delphonians and 143 00:07:07,815 --> 00:07:12,735 Speaker 5: the other one was hollyhowks. Yeah, and of course they're 144 00:07:12,775 --> 00:07:15,335 Speaker 5: hanging around and my husband said, no, what we're going 145 00:07:15,375 --> 00:07:17,095 Speaker 5: to do with these? And I said, well, I wanted 146 00:07:17,095 --> 00:07:20,215 Speaker 5: to put them in the little garden there, and so 147 00:07:21,175 --> 00:07:23,655 Speaker 5: I said, shall we germinate them first and then put 148 00:07:23,695 --> 00:07:26,895 Speaker 5: them in? He said, oh no, no, you can't do that, 149 00:07:27,175 --> 00:07:31,975 Speaker 5: you know. So anyway, he's dog the garden and he's 150 00:07:32,415 --> 00:07:36,695 Speaker 5: just spread them around. So it's sort of like if 151 00:07:36,735 --> 00:07:38,855 Speaker 5: they live, they live, and if they die, they die 152 00:07:39,015 --> 00:07:39,535 Speaker 5: sort of thing. 153 00:07:40,575 --> 00:07:44,015 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what what what what do you. 154 00:07:43,975 --> 00:07:47,855 Speaker 5: Want what's my question. I don't know. I don't wonder 155 00:07:47,895 --> 00:07:49,375 Speaker 5: whether we've done the right thing. 156 00:07:50,415 --> 00:07:53,495 Speaker 4: Oh, look, you can. You can actually get them, for instance, 157 00:07:53,535 --> 00:07:58,055 Speaker 4: to to become plants, small plants. You can see them 158 00:07:58,095 --> 00:08:00,495 Speaker 4: if you like, not in the place where you want 159 00:08:00,495 --> 00:08:02,455 Speaker 4: to have them in the end. You can do that 160 00:08:02,535 --> 00:08:05,535 Speaker 4: in small pots, you know, with seed raising mix. Does 161 00:08:05,535 --> 00:08:06,175 Speaker 4: that make sense? 162 00:08:06,815 --> 00:08:09,215 Speaker 5: I suggested, do you know a bit of cloth or 163 00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:13,575 Speaker 5: something and put them on there and just germinate them 164 00:08:13,615 --> 00:08:13,975 Speaker 5: on there. 165 00:08:14,375 --> 00:08:17,935 Speaker 4: No, not on a cloth, Let's say in a container, 166 00:08:18,175 --> 00:08:22,135 Speaker 4: you know, and as a small container with seat raising mix. 167 00:08:22,375 --> 00:08:24,295 Speaker 4: Put it in there and you'll get them to grow 168 00:08:24,375 --> 00:08:26,735 Speaker 4: from there. You gently take them out when they say 169 00:08:27,055 --> 00:08:29,215 Speaker 4: three or four inches tall, and then you put them 170 00:08:29,215 --> 00:08:30,735 Speaker 4: in a place where you want them in the garden. 171 00:08:31,015 --> 00:08:32,935 Speaker 4: I think that might be the cleverest way to go, 172 00:08:33,935 --> 00:08:35,055 Speaker 4: right right. 173 00:08:35,735 --> 00:08:39,095 Speaker 5: I'm sort of trying to get that in her story 174 00:08:39,375 --> 00:08:43,535 Speaker 5: with my peers hit hollyos and delphiniums and things. 175 00:08:44,255 --> 00:08:47,415 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that is the safest way of doing it, 176 00:08:47,495 --> 00:08:49,855 Speaker 4: because at the moment, even when you get a cold time, 177 00:08:50,695 --> 00:08:53,095 Speaker 4: you know, from now on in September, you can I 178 00:08:53,095 --> 00:08:55,535 Speaker 4: think this is the good time coming up in September 179 00:08:55,935 --> 00:08:59,135 Speaker 4: when it's good to start germinating them. 180 00:08:59,535 --> 00:09:00,935 Speaker 3: I recom that's the best way to go. 181 00:09:01,695 --> 00:09:08,815 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's spattered them in the soil. Now that happens, 182 00:09:09,335 --> 00:09:09,975 Speaker 5: Well you will. 183 00:09:09,895 --> 00:09:11,815 Speaker 4: Have to see what happens and if it's where are 184 00:09:11,815 --> 00:09:16,855 Speaker 4: you which area of New Zealand in Aukland?

Appreciate your show and 199 00:10:19,215 --> 00:10:22,975 Speaker 7: joy listening to you on Saturday. On Sunday mornings, I've 200 00:10:23,015 --> 00:10:27,015 Speaker 7: got a couple of little questions. Food please. I missed 201 00:10:27,575 --> 00:10:29,415 Speaker 7: the part of your show a couple of weeks ago 202 00:10:29,415 --> 00:10:32,735 Speaker 7: when you were talking about bora and on the fly 203 00:10:32,855 --> 00:10:35,535 Speaker 7: and how to treat them. I'm just wondering quickly, if 204 00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:39,175 Speaker 7: it is possible to go through that in process, what's 205 00:10:39,335 --> 00:10:43,775 Speaker 7: this way of stopping them or killing them all before 206 00:10:43,815 --> 00:10:44,175 Speaker 7: they fly. 207 00:10:44,815 --> 00:10:47,975 Speaker 3: You're talking about bora in your house, I suppose. 208 00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:50,775 Speaker 7: But both actually in the house and in a lemon tary. 209 00:10:51,455 --> 00:10:56,175 Speaker 4: Yeah species okay, different species lemon tree, good man, Okay, house. 210 00:10:56,255 --> 00:10:59,055 Speaker 4: First of all, the house borer that we've imported so 211 00:10:59,215 --> 00:11:02,975 Speaker 4: nicely from Europe, when all the people from from the 212 00:11:03,055 --> 00:11:08,535 Speaker 4: European areas will come into colonize News Zealand. That borer 213 00:11:08,695 --> 00:11:11,735 Speaker 4: has been is basically all around the world. It has 214 00:11:11,775 --> 00:11:16,095 Speaker 4: a life cycle by which it emerges from the wood 215 00:11:16,495 --> 00:11:19,895 Speaker 4: in the beginning of November or late well, no, beginning 216 00:11:19,895 --> 00:11:20,375 Speaker 4: of November. 217 00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:20,695 Speaker 3: It is good. 218 00:11:20,735 --> 00:11:23,455 Speaker 4: First of November is a good day to think about. Now, 219 00:11:23,655 --> 00:11:27,415 Speaker 4: that's when they make those little holes that you see, 220 00:11:27,455 --> 00:11:29,535 Speaker 4: you know, the little borer holes that you see everywhere. 221 00:11:29,695 --> 00:11:32,295 Speaker 4: So once you see those holes and you know you're 222 00:11:32,335 --> 00:11:35,615 Speaker 4: too late because they're out already. What I would like 223 00:11:35,655 --> 00:11:38,615 Speaker 4: you to do in this case is spray the area 224 00:11:38,695 --> 00:11:42,615 Speaker 4: where you have the borer normally coming out of spray 225 00:11:42,695 --> 00:11:46,095 Speaker 4: that with a really good aerosol that you can get 226 00:11:46,095 --> 00:11:50,975 Speaker 4: from safe Works. Safe Works and if you so safe 227 00:11:50,975 --> 00:11:53,295 Speaker 4: Works ends with an X. And if you do that, 228 00:11:53,415 --> 00:11:57,615 Speaker 4: let's say two weeks before the beginning of November or 229 00:11:57,655 --> 00:12:01,135 Speaker 4: you know, something like that, that stuff will be very 230 00:12:01,175 --> 00:12:05,815 Speaker 4: good and very if you're like working for months to 231 00:12:05,855 --> 00:12:10,455 Speaker 4: come up afterwards. So that means you've protected the wood 232 00:12:10,735 --> 00:12:13,135 Speaker 4: from which the borer come. They try to get out, 233 00:12:13,175 --> 00:12:15,895 Speaker 4: they chew it, they get the poison in their belly, 234 00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:18,655 Speaker 4: and that's the end. They haven't even got time to 235 00:12:18,735 --> 00:12:22,735 Speaker 4: think about mating, you know what I mean. That's so 236 00:12:22,855 --> 00:12:26,415 Speaker 4: that's being in time in October. So mid October is 237 00:12:26,415 --> 00:12:28,455 Speaker 4: a good time to do that. Between mid October to 238 00:12:28,495 --> 00:12:30,415 Speaker 4: the end of october's a great time to do it. 239 00:12:31,175 --> 00:12:33,895 Speaker 4: So that's the question about your house borer. And it 240 00:12:33,975 --> 00:12:36,935 Speaker 4: goes for stuff that you've got in the garden in 241 00:12:37,015 --> 00:12:42,015 Speaker 4: the house as well, you know, not lovely wooden furniture 242 00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:47,495 Speaker 4: and stuff like that. Same gig, the borer of citrus 243 00:12:48,095 --> 00:12:51,975 Speaker 4: is citrus borer is is a different gig that is 244 00:12:52,015 --> 00:12:54,815 Speaker 4: something that you cannot do much about because that thing 245 00:12:54,895 --> 00:12:59,415 Speaker 4: lives inside the citrus branches, and the only thing you 246 00:12:59,455 --> 00:13:01,535 Speaker 4: can do is cut the branches that have got the 247 00:13:01,575 --> 00:13:02,335 Speaker 4: borer in it. 248 00:13:02,735 --> 00:13:03,655 Speaker 3: But do that. 249 00:13:03,775 --> 00:13:08,095 Speaker 4: Literally in it's a late now, because this is the 250 00:13:08,135 --> 00:13:11,455 Speaker 4: time when they're starting to become active. When you do that, 251 00:13:11,535 --> 00:13:17,135 Speaker 4: you do that in literally early what do you call 252 00:13:17,175 --> 00:13:21,455 Speaker 4: it December? I suppose, which is a good time. 253 00:13:22,015 --> 00:13:22,455 Speaker 3: Okay. 254 00:13:22,695 --> 00:13:25,895 Speaker 4: Now, another thing is that if you do have holes 255 00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:30,015 Speaker 4: in your citrus plants, in your citrus trees, so it's 256 00:13:30,055 --> 00:13:32,095 Speaker 4: the holes in the in the in the in the 257 00:13:32,095 --> 00:13:35,015 Speaker 4: branches and in the stems and all that sort of stuff, 258 00:13:35,295 --> 00:13:38,015 Speaker 4: you'll find that they have little holes from which they defecate. 259 00:13:38,055 --> 00:13:41,815 Speaker 4: They put their pools outside through little holes from that 260 00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:45,295 Speaker 4: particular place where they live. If you get yourself a 261 00:13:45,415 --> 00:13:50,855 Speaker 4: really good sharpe what do you call it the guitar string, 262 00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:55,415 Speaker 4: and you poke that in that hole, you will actually 263 00:13:55,495 --> 00:13:59,255 Speaker 4: literally hit them from behind when they don't see it coming, 264 00:13:59,535 --> 00:14:02,775 Speaker 4: and you literally kill them that way. You if you 265 00:14:02,895 --> 00:14:05,535 Speaker 4: don't have got to a time where you can cut them, 266 00:14:05,575 --> 00:14:07,615 Speaker 4: because if you cut them at the wrong time, the 267 00:14:07,735 --> 00:14:12,175 Speaker 4: board themselves will lay new eggs on the cut areas 268 00:14:12,335 --> 00:14:14,815 Speaker 4: that you've used, So don't cut it from now onwards. 269 00:14:15,375 --> 00:14:18,455 Speaker 3: Cut it later in the season. Okay, yeah, yeah. 270 00:14:18,495 --> 00:14:21,535 Speaker 7: Yeah, I understand. Yeah, that's brilliant, awesome. 271 00:14:22,055 --> 00:14:24,975 Speaker 4: It's it's a tricky thing, but yeah, that's all right mate, 272 00:14:25,015 --> 00:14:26,415 Speaker 4: it's tricky, but it works like that. 273 00:14:26,655 --> 00:14:26,975 Speaker 3: Sorry. 274 00:14:27,575 --> 00:14:30,735 Speaker 7: Yeah, there might be too many bond holes for the 275 00:14:30,775 --> 00:14:32,895 Speaker 7: guitar strings, but it's a good idea when there's. 276 00:14:33,535 --> 00:14:37,975 Speaker 4: Well as a musician, I've learned that the g string 277 00:14:38,135 --> 00:14:38,895 Speaker 4: was the best. 278 00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:42,895 Speaker 2: You take care. 279 00:14:42,975 --> 00:14:46,575 Speaker 7: I've got another quick question if you've got time, really 280 00:14:46,575 --> 00:14:49,175 Speaker 7: brief one.

It's a 284 00:14:59,295 --> 00:15:01,655 Speaker 4: disease that is not the best in the world. Best 285 00:15:01,695 --> 00:15:03,535 Speaker 4: thing is to get rid of the damn thing and 286 00:15:03,575 --> 00:15:05,815 Speaker 4: plant another one further up. 287 00:15:06,815 --> 00:15:07,895 Speaker 7: Honestly, out of. 288 00:15:10,095 --> 00:15:10,255 Speaker 6: Here. 289 00:15:11,495 --> 00:15:13,175 Speaker 7: Yeah, so in a more open area. 290 00:15:13,695 --> 00:15:16,655 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, all the best. 291 00:15:16,735 --> 00:15:19,055 Speaker 7: You crazy, take care. 292 00:15:19,415 --> 00:15:21,335 Speaker 2: And it's funny when people say, oh, look I missed 293 00:15:21,335 --> 00:15:23,335 Speaker 2: something on the show the other day and someone said, actually, 294 00:15:23,655 --> 00:15:26,455 Speaker 2: this is a great text.
