Speaker 3: and Ui to snot Glean to you know.

33
00:01:52,215 --> 00:01:55,015
Speaker 2: So, I mean I'm intrigued by this in the sense

34
00:01:55,055 --> 00:01:59,135
Speaker 2: that like, what's is this teacher? This is this education

35
00:01:59,175 --> 00:02:02,415
Speaker 2: outside the classroom? Is the stem teaching.

36
00:02:02,215 --> 00:02:05,775
Speaker 3: All that, right, And it's organized by Sir Peter Blake

37
00:02:05,815 --> 00:02:09,095

41
00:02:21,735 --> 00:02:24,655
Speaker 3: This is the this is real stuff. And so teachers

42
00:02:24,655 --> 00:02:26,735
Speaker 3: here go go here for literally a week that we

43
00:02:26,735 --> 00:02:29,495
Speaker 3: put them up in a wonderful five star hotel. I

44
00:02:29,535 --> 00:02:32,295
Speaker 3: think it's great, But what they forget is they get

45
00:02:32,375 --> 00:02:34,255
Speaker 3: up at six in the morning and go to bed

46
00:02:34,295 --> 00:02:34,935
Speaker 3: at eleven, and.

47
00:02:35,815 --> 00:02:40,455
Speaker 2: How it's like, all on, that's awesome, that's awesome.

48
00:02:40,495 --> 00:02:41,615
Speaker 3: It's been going for years.

49
00:02:41,655 --> 00:02:44,895
Speaker 2: It's great. It must be enormously rewarding. And I'm sure

50
00:02:44,895 --> 00:02:47,175
Speaker 2: the teachers at the end of it come away kind

51
00:02:47,215 --> 00:02:51,455
Speaker 2: of like get invigorated or renewed all.

52
00:02:51,335 --> 00:02:54,175
Speaker 3: That, but also inspired with everything that they get. And

53
00:02:54,215 --> 00:02:56,815
Speaker 3: I find those teachers back all over New Zealand later

54
00:02:56,855 --> 00:02:58,895
Speaker 3: on when I do most field based spent it's them.

55
00:02:59,295 --> 00:03:01,455
Speaker 3: So this is it. Then it becomes literally ampull on,

56
00:03:01,495 --> 00:03:03,775
Speaker 3: as we say in Malay. It becomes a club of

57
00:03:03,815 --> 00:03:07,415
Speaker 3: people that keep together and they keep on, you know,

58
00:03:08,215 --> 00:03:09,575
Speaker 3: working with each other as well.

59
00:03:10,295 --> 00:03:14,455
Speaker 2: Flos how fabulous radio yours new sorts it be. Now

60
00:03:14,535 --> 00:03:17,295
Speaker 2: we've done this mad dash from one studio to the other.

61
00:03:17,455 --> 00:03:20,735
Speaker 2: And that also means that I don't have bionic up

62
00:03:20,775 --> 00:03:23,095
Speaker 2: and but some pieces I'm working on it. I'm working

63
00:03:23,135 --> 00:03:25,695
Speaker 2: on it. Hang on, let me get myself organized. What

64
00:03:25,815 --> 00:03:26,495
Speaker 2: a disaster.

65
00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:30,255
Speaker 3: It's okay, these things happen. I remember in the past,

66
00:03:30,295 --> 00:03:33,895
Speaker 3: this happened all the time. Now if yat striple strike

67
00:03:34,015 --> 00:03:36,375
Speaker 3: is on. I just know what the active ingredient was.

68
00:03:36,415 --> 00:03:38,495
Speaker 3: I heard you talk about it just now, and I thought,

69
00:03:38,495 --> 00:03:40,455
Speaker 3: I've had to have a quick look. You can get

70
00:03:40,495 --> 00:03:43,135
Speaker 3: at bunny so I can see, all right, this takes

71
00:03:43,175 --> 00:03:43,895
Speaker 3: a bit longer, but.

72
00:03:43,895 --> 00:03:47,055
Speaker 2: I might actually I have noticed that. Actually I went

73
00:03:47,095 --> 00:03:49,735
Speaker 2: outside yesterday and looked around and thought, ah, you know,

74
00:03:49,775 --> 00:03:51,455
Speaker 2: the weeds have come up through the cracks in the

75
00:03:51,495 --> 00:03:54,015
Speaker 2: garden path and I've you know, but at the same

76
00:03:54,055 --> 00:03:57,215
Speaker 2: time the garden has burst into life, which is just wonderful.

77
00:03:57,295 --> 00:04:00,935
Speaker 3: Oh, it's unbelievable. What's happening at the moment, especially our place.

78
00:04:00,975 --> 00:04:03,895
Speaker 3: It's good and and talk about. So a couple of

79
00:04:03,895 --> 00:04:06,775
Speaker 3: things to talk about you very quickly. One is that

80
00:04:07,095 --> 00:04:09,415
Speaker 3: when your apples are flowered, which is right now, ish,

81
00:04:10,495 --> 00:04:12,575
Speaker 3: get medex now right. So this is the point. We

82
00:04:12,655 --> 00:04:16,935
Speaker 3: had this lady calling last week jo now Wielden. No,

83
00:04:17,095 --> 00:04:19,255
Speaker 3: she gave you an email wanted to know how to

84
00:04:19,255 --> 00:04:21,055
Speaker 3: get mad x two. Well, mad X two is no

85
00:04:21,135 --> 00:04:23,775
Speaker 3: longer in the company in the country. Mad X three

86
00:04:23,895 --> 00:04:26,335
Speaker 3: is still here. Mad X three is the stuff that

87
00:04:26,415 --> 00:04:31,495
Speaker 3: you buy for orchidice. So this is big game stuff.

88
00:04:31,695 --> 00:04:35,175
Speaker 3: It's also a bit more expensive. But here comes to thing.

89
00:04:35,575 --> 00:04:39,935
Speaker 3: You can freeze it in between your applications and at

90
00:04:40,015 --> 00:04:42,855
Speaker 3: last five, six, seven, eighty years, and then you can

91
00:04:42,895 --> 00:04:45,535
Speaker 3: share it with neighbors and everybody else, and back the

92
00:04:45,615 --> 00:04:49,015
Speaker 3: price comes down. It's very simple. So madx three is

93
00:04:49,055 --> 00:04:52,775
Speaker 3: the stuff. Do it now once after flowering, do it

94
00:04:52,815 --> 00:04:56,255
Speaker 3: again in a month's time, and maybe another month after that.

95
00:04:56,375 --> 00:04:58,055
Speaker 3: But that's about all you need to do.

96
00:04:58,215 --> 00:04:59,615
Speaker 2: So multiple applications.

97
00:05:00,175 --> 00:05:04,015
Speaker 3: Well, it's to do with these the way the moths

98
00:05:04,135 --> 00:05:07,175
Speaker 3: actually lay eggs a month later. Again, right, so you

99
00:05:07,215 --> 00:05:09,535
Speaker 3: get the next generation. You can't forget that.

100
00:05:09,775 --> 00:05:12,855
Speaker 2: Okay, fabulous, Right, let's get into the calls Marianne. Good

101
00:05:12,855 --> 00:05:16,895
Speaker 2: morning to you. Hi Marianne.

102
00:05:18,455 --> 00:05:19,615
Speaker 3: She might have fallen asleep.

103
00:05:20,055 --> 00:05:21,735
Speaker 2: I'm not getting the calls up on the side.

104
00:05:22,775 --> 00:05:25,215
Speaker 3: How can you repeter it perfectly by the way that works?

105
00:05:27,815 --> 00:05:31,935
Speaker 2: Let's do it quick? Oh, here we go. Oh this

106
00:05:32,015 --> 00:05:34,375
Speaker 2: is a great text. Here you go, rud I would

107
00:05:34,415 --> 00:05:36,855
Speaker 2: like to get rid of my lawn and turn it

108
00:05:36,895 --> 00:05:39,935
Speaker 2: into a wilding area. Some people say to rip the

109
00:05:39,975 --> 00:05:42,295
Speaker 2: lawn up first, and others say just let the lawn

110
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:45,895
Speaker 2: go wild and sprinkle some native seeds across it. What

111
00:05:45,935 --> 00:05:47,295
Speaker 2: process would you take I.

112
00:05:47,215 --> 00:05:49,575
Speaker 3: Would do that last one this much tick much quicker

113
00:05:49,575 --> 00:05:51,935
Speaker 3: and easier. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

114
00:05:52,095 --> 00:05:55,695
Speaker 2: You're not worried about the grass that's already there strangling.

115
00:05:56,375 --> 00:05:58,935
Speaker 3: No, you'll find that some of these weeds, some of

116
00:05:58,975 --> 00:06:01,175
Speaker 3: these weeds if you like that there was a grass

117
00:06:01,575 --> 00:06:06,135
Speaker 3: you no, no, yeah, oh yeah, lovely. I'm talking about

118
00:06:06,855 --> 00:06:11,495
Speaker 3: the wildflowers, yes, which are actually often weedy type thing. Sure,

119
00:06:11,695 --> 00:06:13,055
Speaker 3: we'll probably take over.

120
00:06:13,175 --> 00:06:16,975
Speaker 2: Yeah ah, that changes things for me a bit.

121
00:06:17,135 --> 00:06:19,655
Speaker 3: Yeah. And also if you do want to do all

122
00:06:19,695 --> 00:06:23,935
Speaker 3: the control freak stuff of I don't want any more grass,

123
00:06:23,975 --> 00:06:26,575
Speaker 3: and you know, you can always round up it or

124
00:06:26,615 --> 00:06:31,455
Speaker 3: doing that that that zero zero yeah yeah, there you

125
00:06:31,455 --> 00:06:33,535
Speaker 3: go to the eight stuff, get rid of it, and

126
00:06:33,575 --> 00:06:36,415
Speaker 3: then of course wait until that's all gone. That may

127
00:06:36,495 --> 00:06:38,895
Speaker 3: take about two or three weeks. Yes, then so you

128
00:06:38,935 --> 00:06:39,895
Speaker 3: were your wild thrower.

129
00:06:39,935 --> 00:06:43,415
Speaker 2: And then so I went out to a house that's

130
00:06:43,495 --> 00:06:46,495
Speaker 2: kind of an exemplar of a low carbon house, right, sure.

131
00:06:46,575 --> 00:06:49,775
Speaker 2: So they were looking at everything in the house and

132
00:06:49,855 --> 00:06:52,535
Speaker 2: around the house to make it low carbon. So they

133
00:06:52,535 --> 00:06:55,935
Speaker 2: had rainwater harvesting, they had really good insulation, gret glazing,

134
00:06:56,015 --> 00:06:58,455
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But they also did a large

135
00:06:58,495 --> 00:07:02,175
Speaker 2: part of the garden as wildflower exactly, no motorma.

136
00:07:02,375 --> 00:07:04,735
Speaker 3: That's the way to go. And so the other way

137
00:07:04,735 --> 00:07:06,935
Speaker 3: you can do it with your grass is mowered really

138
00:07:07,015 --> 00:07:10,575
Speaker 3: low mode, extremely low, so that you're actually getting your

139
00:07:10,655 --> 00:07:13,935
Speaker 3: grass that is there at the moment exposed to the

140
00:07:14,015 --> 00:07:18,255
Speaker 3: sun and it will probably not like that much at all,

141
00:07:18,615 --> 00:07:20,815
Speaker 3: and that when that's when your grass gets if you're

142
00:07:20,855 --> 00:07:25,495
Speaker 3: like weaker, and that's when you plant your new wildflowers.

143
00:07:25,495 --> 00:07:26,575
Speaker 3: That's another way of doing it.

144
00:07:26,615 --> 00:07:31,815
Speaker 2: Alrighty, we'll have another crack at getting Marianne the line Marianne,

145
00:07:31,815 --> 00:07:36,215
Speaker 2: can you hear us now? Nope? No, Well I'm not

146
00:07:36,415 --> 00:07:39,455
Speaker 2: hearing Marianne nor my stage on this part.

147
00:07:39,255 --> 00:07:41,335
Speaker 3: Of the story until she whispers, really.

148
00:07:43,015 --> 00:07:45,295
Speaker 2: Stay on the line, don't don't try. Actually, let's see

149
00:07:45,295 --> 00:07:49,735
Speaker 2: if Donald works. Nope, Donald not coming up either. We'll

150
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:51,255
Speaker 2: get things sorted out because we had to dash from

151
00:07:51,295 --> 00:07:54,015
Speaker 2: run studio to the other, or we could dash back

152
00:07:54,095 --> 00:07:57,935
Speaker 2: and I just bugger off and leave you to it.

153
00:07:58,095 --> 00:08:01,095
Speaker 2: The simplest answer, actually, I'll tell you what on that

154
00:08:01,375 --> 00:08:03,695
Speaker 2: can I know I should talk to your fear about this,

155
00:08:03,735 --> 00:08:07,015
Speaker 2: but I can't be bothered. In a couple of weeks time,

156
00:08:07,015 --> 00:08:08,855
Speaker 2: I've got a school fair that I'm helping out with.

157
00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:11,375
Speaker 2: If I dash off at eight thirty, can you just

158
00:08:11,455 --> 00:08:13,295
Speaker 2: take over and then I can get to the fair

159
00:08:13,335 --> 00:08:15,735
Speaker 2: and help set out. All right, let's do that. That'll

160
00:08:15,775 --> 00:08:18,415
Speaker 2: be just write it down your diary, tenth of November

161
00:08:18,935 --> 00:08:23,815
Speaker 2: for the Saint Leo's School Fair. Now, other question someone

162
00:08:24,015 --> 00:08:27,695
Speaker 2: was asking, No, that's about waxes and things like that. Hey,

163
00:08:27,895 --> 00:08:31,615
Speaker 2: it's given that the garden, like, I'm delighted that I've

164
00:08:31,655 --> 00:08:34,375
Speaker 2: got blossoms in the trees. I've got the hedge, my

165
00:08:34,495 --> 00:08:38,335
Speaker 2: carrow hedge has burst into life and going like the clappers?

166
00:08:38,695 --> 00:08:41,055
Speaker 2: What other things should we be doing in the garden

167
00:08:41,135 --> 00:08:41,655
Speaker 2: right now?

168
00:08:41,975 --> 00:08:44,055
Speaker 3: If you live in Auckland, you keep your eye on

169
00:08:44,135 --> 00:08:46,935
Speaker 3: all the plants that always have fluffy bums and bashian

170
00:08:47,015 --> 00:08:50,255
Speaker 3: von hoppers. Right, And the reason is from now on

171
00:08:50,335 --> 00:08:52,455
Speaker 3: and Jack was already on that, he was ahead of

172
00:08:52,535 --> 00:08:57,255
Speaker 3: me and fact and the thing is that this is

173
00:08:57,295 --> 00:09:00,215
Speaker 3: the time of the year when so later in October,

174
00:09:00,255 --> 00:09:01,775
Speaker 3: so in a week or so two weeks from now

175
00:09:01,815 --> 00:09:04,015
Speaker 3: from one. I remember what you do is when you

176
00:09:04,055 --> 00:09:06,215
Speaker 3: go out in the morning when it's really went still,

177
00:09:06,695 --> 00:09:09,615
Speaker 3: and you see these little fluffy bumps on the tops

178
00:09:09,655 --> 00:09:11,855
Speaker 3: of the plants that always get hammered.

179
00:09:12,295 --> 00:09:12,975
Speaker 2: Tiny things.

180
00:09:13,135 --> 00:09:15,855
Speaker 3: So the first instyles we call it just out of

181
00:09:15,895 --> 00:09:19,095
Speaker 3: the egg, looking around and hopping around and starting to

182
00:09:19,175 --> 00:09:22,415
Speaker 3: suck the juices out of your plants. That's when you

183
00:09:22,495 --> 00:09:24,855
Speaker 3: go back into the house and find yourself a can

184
00:09:24,895 --> 00:09:29,455
Speaker 3: of mortine, I don't care what it is, or or

185
00:09:28,375 --> 00:09:33,615
Speaker 3: some simple organic organic stuff like pyrethrum, you know, the

186
00:09:33,655 --> 00:09:38,615
Speaker 3: pyrethrum fly sprays. And normally when these guys get older,

187
00:09:38,655 --> 00:09:40,975
Speaker 3: they will jump away, they will try to get out

188
00:09:40,975 --> 00:09:45,735
Speaker 3: of the out of the walk literally, you know, you know,

189
00:09:45,775 --> 00:09:49,615
Speaker 3: the stuff of best side. But in this case, you

190
00:09:49,695 --> 00:09:52,535
Speaker 3: spray them when they're really small and they can't and

191
00:09:52,575 --> 00:09:56,215
Speaker 3: they try to blow away or jump away, but they

192
00:09:56,255 --> 00:09:59,495
Speaker 3: go through the cloud of pyrethrum and there's so much

193
00:09:59,535 --> 00:10:02,255
Speaker 3: coming onto their body that they can't make it. And

194
00:10:02,415 --> 00:10:05,295
Speaker 3: that is the time when just spraying with this simple

195
00:10:05,295 --> 00:10:08,815
Speaker 3: fly spray will do the job before they become bigger.

196
00:10:08,935 --> 00:10:11,855
Speaker 2: And what sorts of plants are they attracted to from?

197
00:10:12,175 --> 00:10:16,415
Speaker 3: Oh, you name it everything passion vine hop but they

198
00:10:16,535 --> 00:10:18,895
Speaker 3: called passion fine hoppits. All the passion fruits for instance,

199
00:10:19,215 --> 00:10:22,575
Speaker 3: other climbers if you like. But I remember they are

200
00:10:22,615 --> 00:10:24,775
Speaker 3: on all sorts of plants in yoga, and they are

201
00:10:24,815 --> 00:10:28,175
Speaker 3: totally not worried about what they eat. Okay, as selective

202
00:10:28,255 --> 00:10:30,175
Speaker 3: as a vacuum cleaner. They'll eat anything.

203
00:10:30,215 --> 00:10:32,375
Speaker 2: I have a look around. I don't think we've had

204
00:10:32,375 --> 00:10:33,855
Speaker 2: a problem with them, not yet.

205
00:10:33,975 --> 00:10:37,375
Speaker 3: No passion fine hoppy. But the passion fine hoppers then

206
00:10:37,535 --> 00:10:40,135
Speaker 3: go through a couple of instars and they become these

207
00:10:40,175 --> 00:10:43,775
Speaker 3: moths they call them with the sea through wings. Right,

208
00:10:43,935 --> 00:10:46,775
Speaker 3: those are the adults of that same thing. Okay, if

209
00:10:46,775 --> 00:10:49,455
Speaker 3: you try to spray them, they will put one finger

210
00:10:49,535 --> 00:10:51,775
Speaker 3: up and literally fly through the whole thing out of

211
00:10:51,815 --> 00:10:53,335
Speaker 3: the way they just gone.

212
00:10:53,535 --> 00:10:56,055
Speaker 2: And in terms of fertilizing, given that there's now some.

213
00:10:55,975 --> 00:10:59,815
Speaker 3: Growth, it's time npk everything.

214
00:10:59,895 --> 00:11:03,135
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, that's fantastic. Right, we're gonna

215
00:11:03,175 --> 00:11:06,495
Speaker 2: see a oh here we go, quick text and then

216
00:11:06,535 --> 00:11:09,655
Speaker 2: we'll try getting back to the calls morning advice. Please

217
00:11:09,695 --> 00:11:12,055
Speaker 2: on my camellias. A couple of them have a white

218
00:11:12,295 --> 00:11:14,695
Speaker 2: powdery stuff on their leaves.

219
00:11:15,735 --> 00:11:19,775
Speaker 3: Oh that yeah, that could indeed be a fungal thing. Right, yeah,

220
00:11:19,895 --> 00:11:23,255
Speaker 3: so that is quite often, especially if you've had a

221
00:11:23,255 --> 00:11:25,615
Speaker 3: lot of moist moisture in the air and lots of

222
00:11:25,735 --> 00:11:29,495
Speaker 3: rain and things like that. Funguside is your only way

223
00:11:29,495 --> 00:11:33,495
Speaker 3: to go the most if you like. Safest one is

224
00:11:33,535 --> 00:11:37,095
Speaker 3: an organic material which is copper and sulfur together. Another

225
00:11:37,175 --> 00:11:41,535
Speaker 3: YHS thing that's yates fungus pray. Yates Nature's way fungus pray,

226
00:11:41,855 --> 00:11:45,415
Speaker 3: and that will actually suppress what's on those leaves. And

227
00:11:45,455 --> 00:11:46,855
Speaker 3: that's a good time to do it too.

228
00:11:46,975 --> 00:11:53,895
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's see if we've got our call sorted out. Donald. Hello, No,

229
00:11:53,935 --> 00:11:55,655
Speaker 2: we don't right, We're gonna take a break. We'll come

230
00:11:55,695 --> 00:11:57,935
Speaker 2: back to you and just a moment. You're a news

231
00:11:57,975 --> 00:12:01,495
Speaker 2: talk seed. B it is eight point forty three. Keen

232
00:12:01,575 --> 00:12:03,455
Speaker 2: to get into it. Let's see if the phones are

233
00:12:03,535 --> 00:12:07,135
Speaker 2: up and running. Donald, good morning, Good morning, Hey DoD

234
00:12:07,215 --> 00:12:08,055
Speaker 2: love your work.

235
00:12:11,455 --> 00:12:14,375
Speaker 3: I'm going to plant some tomato plants today in a pot.

236
00:12:14,655 --> 00:12:16,455
Speaker 4: What soiled are you please?

237
00:12:16,815 --> 00:12:19,415
Speaker 3: Okay? In a pot. You tend to use a mixture,

238
00:12:19,455 --> 00:12:24,135
Speaker 3: a good mixture of potting mix and but also organ organic.

239
00:12:24,175 --> 00:12:27,615
Speaker 3: If you like soil mix, that means mineral soil. So

240
00:12:28,175 --> 00:12:30,135
Speaker 3: if you go to the various shops you get sort

241
00:12:30,175 --> 00:12:32,655
Speaker 3: of you know, things like soil that you can buy

242
00:12:32,655 --> 00:12:35,935
Speaker 3: because you also buy potting mix. You you really want

243
00:12:35,975 --> 00:12:39,095
Speaker 3: to have them both connected to each other and mix up.

244
00:12:39,375 --> 00:12:41,815
Speaker 3: That is the best way to go, and that has

245
00:12:41,895 --> 00:12:46,455
Speaker 3: to be reasonably sizable as well. That pot Okay, yeah, yeah,

246
00:12:46,495 --> 00:12:47,095
Speaker 3: I think it is.

247
00:12:47,135 --> 00:12:47,735
Speaker 2: I think it is.

248
00:12:47,895 --> 00:12:50,255
Speaker 3: So what do I what potting mix and what's the

249
00:12:50,255 --> 00:12:55,735
Speaker 3: other one? Just if you like top soil, you can

250
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:57,935
Speaker 3: get some of some of some of the top soil

251
00:12:57,975 --> 00:13:00,495
Speaker 3: you can get in bags and they are pretty good.

252
00:13:01,855 --> 00:13:05,895
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you very much more than welcome. I think

253
00:13:06,295 --> 00:13:08,895
Speaker 2: sometimes the issue with potting mixes it's too light, isn't

254
00:13:08,935 --> 00:13:11,855
Speaker 2: it to really hold on to the roots, Like, is

255
00:13:11,895 --> 00:13:12,455
Speaker 2: that what it is?

256
00:13:12,535 --> 00:13:16,015
Speaker 3: Yes? Stuff goes, stuff goes literally through potting mixing and

257
00:13:16,095 --> 00:13:19,295
Speaker 3: all the water disappears. But the mineral soil holds the

258
00:13:19,495 --> 00:13:21,815
Speaker 3: NPK together, it binds it.

259
00:13:21,975 --> 00:13:25,175
Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant, right, jay A, very good morning to you.

260
00:13:25,775 --> 00:13:29,495
Speaker 4: Good morning him, Rudy. Just on the thing about the tomatoes.

261
00:13:30,015 --> 00:13:35,535
Speaker 4: You've got bags of tomato mixes, count Weirhirs and Bunnings

262
00:13:35,575 --> 00:13:37,615
Speaker 4: and my tea. Is it not enough?

263
00:13:37,815 --> 00:13:38,015
Speaker 3: Yes?

264
00:13:38,055 --> 00:13:38,295
Speaker 2: It is.

265
00:13:38,815 --> 00:13:38,855
Speaker 5: No.

266
00:13:39,335 --> 00:13:41,335
Speaker 3: What I personally will do is give it a little

267
00:13:41,335 --> 00:13:44,375
Speaker 3: bit more organic or just what do you call it

268
00:13:44,375 --> 00:13:47,855
Speaker 3: a soil mix as well? Just a bit more You

269
00:13:47,975 --> 00:13:50,415
Speaker 3: have to do less if you have those particular bags.

270
00:13:50,455 --> 00:13:53,255
Speaker 3: I don't really agree with you, but for me, it

271
00:13:53,335 --> 00:13:55,375
Speaker 3: is always you know, if you've watered a thing and

272
00:13:55,415 --> 00:13:58,815
Speaker 3: it all dribbles through quickly, then you've watered for nothing.

273
00:13:58,855 --> 00:14:00,335
Speaker 3: You have to do it again and again and again.

274
00:14:00,615 --> 00:14:03,215
Speaker 3: But that soil would hold it all together a lot better.

275
00:14:03,415 --> 00:14:05,255
Speaker 3: And the nice thing is put it in a big tub,

276
00:14:05,655 --> 00:14:07,455
Speaker 3: worked and built again. So if you do let's say

277
00:14:07,895 --> 00:14:12,095
Speaker 3: two three spades of that board mix together with one

278
00:14:12,135 --> 00:14:15,015
Speaker 3: spade of the soil mix, you will find it works

279
00:14:15,055 --> 00:14:15,735
Speaker 3: a lot better.

280
00:14:16,335 --> 00:14:22,375
Speaker 4: Interesting. So my question was initially was do rhododendrons need

281
00:14:23,055 --> 00:14:27,495
Speaker 4: any particular minerals will feed to keep the color. I've

282
00:14:27,495 --> 00:14:29,615
Speaker 4: got an elderly freedom who feels that some of the

283
00:14:29,735 --> 00:14:33,575
Speaker 4: roadies are losing their color, you know what I mean,

284
00:14:33,855 --> 00:14:36,895
Speaker 4: They're getting the fact, more faded than she remembers them

285
00:14:36,895 --> 00:14:38,655
Speaker 4: being when they were younger.

286
00:14:39,055 --> 00:14:42,615
Speaker 3: Well, that could be just fertilizer, you know at the time,

287
00:14:44,575 --> 00:14:47,255
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, when do you're fertilizer? I would start fertilizing

288
00:14:47,295 --> 00:14:49,495
Speaker 3: them now, but I would fertilize them with a little

289
00:14:49,535 --> 00:14:54,175
Speaker 3: bit of let's say, tomato fertilizer that has higher K

290
00:14:54,535 --> 00:14:55,655
Speaker 3: in it, which is the pottery.

291
00:14:55,735 --> 00:14:59,655
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, she just felt that some of the flowering ones,

292
00:14:59,935 --> 00:15:03,575
Speaker 4: like the colors are least bright than they were, like

293
00:15:04,015 --> 00:15:07,335
Speaker 4: a yellowy one sort of gone quite pas And I

294
00:15:07,455 --> 00:15:09,455
Speaker 4: just say, well, maybe you're not feeding them or giving

295
00:15:09,495 --> 00:15:11,535
Speaker 4: them anything that will help that.

296
00:15:13,295 --> 00:15:13,495
Speaker 6: You.

297
00:15:13,615 --> 00:15:16,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, thank you, And I think I don't

298
00:15:16,535 --> 00:15:19,895
Speaker 3: think they would fade just because just because they're getting

299
00:15:19,935 --> 00:15:21,935
Speaker 3: old or something is lecking. But the only thing is

300
00:15:21,975 --> 00:15:25,135
Speaker 3: if you fertilize them on a reasonably regular basis, that

301
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,575
Speaker 3: should not happen.

302
00:15:27,255 --> 00:15:29,935
Speaker 4: Cool, all right, I will tell her thank you very much.

303
00:15:32,495 --> 00:15:36,135
Speaker 2: Luck with that. Take thank you now? Quick text? W

304
00:15:36,295 --> 00:15:38,495
Speaker 2: do you buy Meddics three from?

305
00:15:38,815 --> 00:15:41,215
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, there was a whole lot of stuff.

306
00:15:41,655 --> 00:15:45,575
Speaker 3: I haven't got the list with me, but Key Industries.

307
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:49,695
Speaker 3: Key Industries is the company that imports it and that

308
00:15:49,895 --> 00:15:52,775
Speaker 3: has that has a whole network of people that buy it.

309
00:15:53,175 --> 00:15:55,495
Speaker 3: So it's stuff like PG right, since et cetera.

310
00:15:56,335 --> 00:16:00,255
Speaker 2: Okay, brilliant, brilliant, Bob, hello there, talk about passion for.

311
00:16:00,335 --> 00:16:04,335
Speaker 5: It to you both, rude. You've already answered one of

312
00:16:04,415 --> 00:16:08,055
Speaker 5: my questions because I was worried about something eating my

313
00:16:08,455 --> 00:16:11,415
Speaker 5: scarlet run of bean leaves and also my passion for

314
00:16:11,455 --> 00:16:13,015
Speaker 5: it leaves. So I'm going to go out there with

315
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:13,855
Speaker 5: the fly pray.

316
00:16:16,135 --> 00:16:20,615
Speaker 3: Those particular little creatures do not eat as such, They suck.

317
00:16:20,935 --> 00:16:26,375
Speaker 3: They suck juices out of the plut sole praise my questions. Yes,

318
00:16:26,415 --> 00:16:30,095
Speaker 3: exact exactly. So what you get in your beans are

319
00:16:30,175 --> 00:16:33,815
Speaker 3: thinks like caterpillars sometimes slugs and snails and things.

320
00:16:33,575 --> 00:16:37,375
Speaker 5: Like that, and they think wash around them.

321
00:16:37,535 --> 00:16:39,375
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there you go. But that is the point.

322
00:16:39,415 --> 00:16:40,895
Speaker 3: What I would do is go out at night with

323
00:16:40,935 --> 00:16:43,935
Speaker 3: a torch and see who was crawling over those leaves.

324
00:16:44,295 --> 00:16:47,255
Speaker 3: I mean it, I mean it's really fun doing that.

325
00:16:48,135 --> 00:16:48,735
Speaker 5: Oh lovely.

326
00:16:49,135 --> 00:16:49,455
Speaker 6: Yes.

327
00:16:49,735 --> 00:16:52,615
Speaker 5: Now, while I have been waiting, I thought of another

328
00:16:52,695 --> 00:16:55,695
Speaker 5: problem that I've got. We've got Solomon seal that we

329
00:16:55,935 --> 00:16:59,335
Speaker 5: thought we'd dug right out, but of course we've missed

330
00:16:59,575 --> 00:17:02,735
Speaker 5: half of that, I think, because it's all coming up now.

331
00:17:02,895 --> 00:17:07,935
Speaker 5: If I use my weed wand thing with the what's

332
00:17:08,015 --> 00:17:12,575
Speaker 5: the killer on the bottom of it, would that a

333
00:17:12,735 --> 00:17:16,895
Speaker 5: fact dolphonium seedlings? Would it can taminate the soil or not?

334
00:17:17,575 --> 00:17:20,095
Speaker 3: It depends on what you use as an active ingredient.

335
00:17:20,735 --> 00:17:23,295
Speaker 3: So so if you, for instance, have little plants coming

336
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:26,815
Speaker 3: up that you don't want then the best thing is

337
00:17:26,855 --> 00:17:29,895
Speaker 3: to have your wheat killer on a on a paintbrush

338
00:17:30,175 --> 00:17:33,735
Speaker 3: and painted as it comes up right, and that means

339
00:17:33,775 --> 00:17:36,735
Speaker 3: it won't you won't have the other ones in target,

340
00:17:36,975 --> 00:17:37,375
Speaker 3: so they.

341
00:17:37,375 --> 00:17:40,175
Speaker 5: Won't go down onto the roots and cantaminate the soiler.

342
00:17:40,215 --> 00:17:42,095
Speaker 3: Ay, I know, if you stay above the ground, you

343
00:17:42,095 --> 00:17:42,775
Speaker 3: should be fine.

344
00:17:43,615 --> 00:17:45,295
Speaker 5: Great, Thank you very much.

345
00:17:46,975 --> 00:17:49,535
Speaker 2: I'm just curious, Thank you very much, thank you very

346
00:17:49,615 --> 00:17:52,095
Speaker 2: very much, Bob. What is Solomon's seal.

347
00:17:52,815 --> 00:17:55,055
Speaker 3: It's one of those plants that you grow in the

348
00:17:55,055 --> 00:17:58,135
Speaker 3: garden sexually, quite lovely. It's the thing that actually is.

349

00:19:27,695 --> 00:19:31,775
Speaker 3: will kill anything anything but grass, if you like. So,

382
00:19:31,815 --> 00:19:35,055
Speaker 3: the grass is a very special group of plants, the

386
00:19:44,575 --> 00:19:46,695

391
00:19:59,255 --> 00:20:00,535
Speaker 3: that's the way to get rid of them.

392
00:20:01,335 --> 00:20:01,815
Speaker 4: Yeah.

393
00:20:01,935 --> 00:20:04,815

00:20:17,935 --> 00:20:20,935
Speaker 3: one day that they quickly dropped their seeds, say get out.

399
00:20:20,735 --> 00:20:24,015
Speaker 6: Of here, sun day. Come on, come on, I'm a

Speaker 2: grapefruit and Dangelo, it's too close to the apple tree.

404
00:20:41,415 --> 00:20:42,855
Speaker 2: So moving this time of year.

405
00:20:42,735 --> 00:20:45,335
Speaker 3: It's a bit late, really, Yeah, it really is getting

406
00:20:45,375 --> 00:20:47,295
Speaker 3: a bit late, because there's no starting to grow and

407
00:20:48,215 --> 00:20:51,815
Speaker 3: put its roots down, right, so midwinter unless you got

408
00:20:51,815 --> 00:20:54,935
Speaker 3: somebody with a really big bucket on a digger, and

409
00:20:54,975 --> 00:20:56,735
Speaker 3: you can do it in one go. See, there's always

410
00:20:56,775 --> 00:20:58,295
Speaker 3: the way, isn't it a big bucket?

411
00:20:58,375 --> 00:21:01,695
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely? Hey, now tell us a little bit more

412
00:21:01,775 --> 00:21:04,695
Speaker 2: we've just got a minute or so. What you know,

413
00:21:04,735 --> 00:21:06,735
Speaker 2: the work that you do with the teacher, What do

414
00:21:06,775 --> 00:21:09,255
Speaker 2: you think, Oh, it's a hard question. What do you

415
00:21:09,295 --> 00:21:10,295

416
00:21:11,135 --> 00:21:14,735
Speaker 3: Oh, the impact is growing, growing, growing, It's unbelievable. If

417
00:21:14,775 --> 00:21:17,095
Speaker 3: you can put three of those things together with thirty,

418
00:21:17,975 --> 00:21:20,895
Speaker 3: that's ninety a year. When we started with only thirty

419
00:21:20,895 --> 00:21:23,175
Speaker 3: a year, it was only five years ago, six years ago.

420
00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:25,975
Speaker 3: The line is going like that. That's growth at all cost.

421
00:21:26,015 --> 00:21:26,855
Speaker 3: As I always say, that.

422
00:21:28,615 --> 00:21:32,495
Speaker 2: Is growth, you know, I mean it is remarkable thinking

423
00:21:32,535 --> 00:21:34,495
Speaker 2: back to when I was at school, for example, and

424
00:21:34,575 --> 00:21:37,095
Speaker 2: thinking about what I see in schools today in terms

425
00:21:37,135 --> 00:21:39,775
Speaker 2: of you know, there's a local school that is doing

426
00:21:39,975 --> 00:21:43,975
Speaker 2: the whole garden to table at school. You know, they're

427
00:21:43,975 --> 00:21:47,295
Speaker 2: making lunch from produce that they've harvested themselves. That's exciting.

428
00:21:47,415 --> 00:21:49,495
Speaker 3: The nicest thing is I got an email VA doc

429
00:21:49,535 --> 00:21:49,895
