1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,453
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

3
00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:15,373
Speaker 2: That'd be Rude climb Past is our man in the

4
00:00:15,413 --> 00:00:17,653
Speaker 2: garden this morning, and we're going to talk about nutrient

5
00:00:17,653 --> 00:00:21,333
Speaker 2: deficiencies that I think will be afflicting many gardens at

6
00:00:21,333 --> 00:00:23,133
Speaker 2: this time of year in a few minutes. But first all,

7
00:00:23,173 --> 00:00:24,853
Speaker 2: did you see it? You saw the big stick intect?

8
00:00:26,053 --> 00:00:28,853
Speaker 3: Yeah? I did, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen something

9
00:00:28,893 --> 00:00:32,933
Speaker 3: similar in North in North Australia when I was filming

10
00:00:32,973 --> 00:00:34,813
Speaker 3: the Bug and series. Yeah yeah, yeah, but it was

11
00:00:34,853 --> 00:00:37,773
Speaker 3: a different species. But boy they are they're big things.

12
00:00:37,813 --> 00:00:38,813
Speaker 3: Ah good, They're a.

13
00:00:38,893 --> 00:00:41,933
Speaker 2: Mate like there. And and there's something about stick insects

14
00:00:41,933 --> 00:00:45,813
Speaker 2: that's very alien as well. Don't you think I think

15
00:00:45,853 --> 00:00:48,653
Speaker 2: it's like this because they're so skinny and the way

16
00:00:48,693 --> 00:00:50,853
Speaker 2: they move or something. There's something I don't know, there's

17
00:00:50,853 --> 00:00:53,253
Speaker 2: something weird this, you know what I mean? Yeah?

18
00:00:53,293 --> 00:00:54,973
Speaker 3: And they sway left to right.

19
00:00:55,053 --> 00:00:58,773
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, right, yeah. You pleased to know that. At

20
00:00:58,773 --> 00:01:00,533
Speaker 2: the moment I saw it, and I saw the photo

21
00:01:00,613 --> 00:01:04,573
Speaker 2: on the Hero website and I was like, oh my goodness.

22
00:01:05,013 --> 00:01:07,213
Speaker 2: I had two thoughts. First of all, the first thought

23
00:01:07,253 --> 00:01:08,853
Speaker 2: I had was, isn't it awesome that we live in

24
00:01:08,853 --> 00:01:11,693
Speaker 2: an age where, despite everything that our species has kind

25
00:01:11,693 --> 00:01:13,613
Speaker 2: of done and achieved and every corner of the earth

26
00:01:13,653 --> 00:01:16,253
Speaker 2: has been checked off, blah blah blah, we can still

27
00:01:16,453 --> 00:01:19,893
Speaker 2: be delighted and surprised in discovering new species like this.

28
00:01:20,333 --> 00:01:23,493
Speaker 2: Like it's not a little microbe. It's like it's like

29
00:01:23,653 --> 00:01:25,613
Speaker 2: the size of a Manila fold. It's like a dinner plate,

30
00:01:25,693 --> 00:01:29,053
Speaker 2: you know. And number two, I was like, road climb

31
00:01:29,053 --> 00:01:30,133
Speaker 2: Pus is gonna be so excited.

32
00:01:31,333 --> 00:01:31,613
Speaker 1: I am.

33
00:01:31,773 --> 00:01:34,053
Speaker 3: I was excited. I thought it was wonderful. You know what.

34
00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:37,013
Speaker 3: I first thought it was typically ausy to come up

35
00:01:37,013 --> 00:01:39,733
Speaker 3: with that story. I suppose did you know that our

36
00:01:39,813 --> 00:01:46,893
Speaker 3: giant wetter weighs sixty grams, that only forty only forty?

37
00:01:47,093 --> 00:01:49,253
Speaker 2: So this is and there's a giant weather from hot

38
00:01:49,973 --> 00:01:52,573
Speaker 2: from little barrier. Yeah, yeah, I mean.

39
00:01:52,453 --> 00:01:54,773
Speaker 3: It's the one. Yeah, there you go.

40
00:01:54,893 --> 00:02:00,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, so yeah, it's that when Yeah, well I've

41
00:02:00,133 --> 00:02:03,293
Speaker 2: always got you know that. But no, I think the

42
00:02:03,533 --> 00:02:06,893
Speaker 2: nutrient deficiency is certainly something that a flips us.

43
00:02:07,813 --> 00:02:10,493
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that's something that we should really start

44
00:02:10,533 --> 00:02:14,293
Speaker 3: looking at from now. Anyway, Jack, And there's two types

45
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:18,413
Speaker 3: of there's nitrogen phosphate and potash and magnesium the main

46
00:02:18,693 --> 00:02:22,853
Speaker 3: soluble things that actually can be soluble in water. And

47
00:02:22,853 --> 00:02:28,573
Speaker 3: that's important because a lot of the smaller micronutrients cannot

48
00:02:28,893 --> 00:02:31,933
Speaker 3: dissolve themselves in more water. And that means that if

49
00:02:31,973 --> 00:02:35,573
Speaker 3: you've got a deficiency for inst of those little micronutrients,

50
00:02:35,893 --> 00:02:41,013
Speaker 3: it's always on the old leaves. In other words, they

51
00:02:41,173 --> 00:02:44,133
Speaker 3: can't on the new leaves. The old leaves have got

52
00:02:44,173 --> 00:02:46,133
Speaker 3: the material in them, the still and they grow. The

53
00:02:46,173 --> 00:02:49,333
Speaker 3: plant grows and it tries to get some micronutrients to

54
00:02:49,413 --> 00:02:52,533
Speaker 3: the new leaves and it cannot get them there because

55
00:02:52,573 --> 00:02:56,013
Speaker 3: it doesn't dissolve in water. That shows you that if

56
00:02:56,013 --> 00:03:00,213
Speaker 3: you've got a plant with some old, crappy leaves in

57
00:03:00,293 --> 00:03:03,853
Speaker 3: the bottom, it is usually something that cannot be taken

58
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:08,253
Speaker 3: up to that can't be able taken up after photosynthesis.

59
00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:11,813
Speaker 3: So these are important things. That's that's that's a good one.

60
00:03:11,973 --> 00:03:15,333
Speaker 3: So those nitrogen, phosphate, and potash, we've talked about that

61
00:03:15,373 --> 00:03:19,253
Speaker 3: a lot of times nitrogen does the leaf growth. The

62
00:03:19,853 --> 00:03:23,413
Speaker 3: phosphorus that's the root growth, potesh, there's flowers and fruits

63
00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:27,333
Speaker 3: in other words, the sexual reproduction of plants. But if

64
00:03:27,333 --> 00:03:30,013
Speaker 3: you go to the little ones. They do so much

65
00:03:30,053 --> 00:03:33,773
Speaker 3: more too. They have all sorts of little jobs, especially

66
00:03:33,773 --> 00:03:37,093
Speaker 3: photosynthesis and so on and so forth, and we need

67
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:39,733
Speaker 3: those and a lot of people forget that. So from

68
00:03:39,773 --> 00:03:42,773
Speaker 3: now on, if you start watering your plants in winter

69
00:03:42,893 --> 00:03:47,253
Speaker 3: time up coming up into into spring, make sure you've

70
00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:52,693
Speaker 3: got those micronutrients as well as the NPK in your garden,

71
00:03:53,213 --> 00:03:56,573
Speaker 3: because that is a completely good diet.

72
00:03:56,733 --> 00:03:59,893
Speaker 2: So is that if you if you're lacking on the micronutrients,

73
00:03:59,893 --> 00:04:02,213
Speaker 2: do you have major problems? You know, like it is,

74
00:04:02,253 --> 00:04:05,773
Speaker 2: it can just a small deficiency where the micronutrient have

75
00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:07,853
Speaker 2: a big impact because like you said, we always came

76
00:04:07,973 --> 00:04:08,373
Speaker 2: on MPT.

77
00:04:08,573 --> 00:04:12,253
Speaker 3: But yeah, right, it can because some of these things

78
00:04:12,253 --> 00:04:14,973
Speaker 3: do an amazing job in there, but they don't need

79
00:04:15,093 --> 00:04:19,813
Speaker 3: as much as those large, you know, the NPK type materials,

80
00:04:19,933 --> 00:04:22,333
Speaker 3: but they certainly are there, and it always pays to

81
00:04:22,373 --> 00:04:26,933
Speaker 3: get a little bag of that of that micronutrients if

82
00:04:26,973 --> 00:04:30,813
Speaker 3: you like the trace elements, and don't forget to use

83
00:04:30,853 --> 00:04:33,813
Speaker 3: that every now and then. And finally you can even

84
00:04:33,933 --> 00:04:34,973
Speaker 3: use noriri.

85
00:04:35,373 --> 00:04:38,773
Speaker 2: Oh okay, seaweed, Yeah, yeah.

86
00:04:38,693 --> 00:04:42,493
Speaker 3: The seaweed is one of the best best machines of

87
00:04:42,653 --> 00:04:45,413
Speaker 3: micro nutrients Japanese seaweeds.

88
00:04:45,253 --> 00:04:49,133
Speaker 2: No, totally. My sister and brother in law expert gardeners,

89
00:04:49,133 --> 00:04:52,293
Speaker 2: and they swear by the seaweed in their garden, absolutely

90
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:54,293
Speaker 2: swear by it. So that sounds great. Hey, thank you,

91
00:04:54,493 --> 00:04:56,453
Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. We will make sure all of

92
00:04:56,453 --> 00:04:59,373
Speaker 2: the details about those micro nutrients and a few examples

93
00:04:59,373 --> 00:05:01,813
Speaker 2: of the fertilizers that might help at this time of year,

94
00:05:02,613 --> 00:05:05,493
Speaker 2: especially as you increase water and heading into spring. We'll

95
00:05:05,533 --> 00:05:07,373
Speaker 2: make sure that that is on the News Talks. Heb
