00:00:10,455 --> 00:00:12,255
Speaker 1: Camp from news Talk ZEDB.

Speaker 4: a caamp man that needs to be listening to clap

7
00:00:23,175 --> 00:00:25,975
Speaker 4: Foot the wolf Men by guess who is that? Who?

8
00:00:26,015 --> 00:00:27,855
Speaker 3: It's by guess who gets who?

9
00:00:27,935 --> 00:00:31,615
Speaker 4: Yeah? I liked it, right, I'm going to play it,

10
00:00:31,655 --> 00:00:35,335
Speaker 4: but I couldn't get the ads of YouTube.

11
00:00:36,695 --> 00:00:42,535
Speaker 2: Ah, well, look I have. Let's do a confession. On

12
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:44,855
Speaker 2: my list of jobs to do was to plume prune

13
00:00:44,975 --> 00:00:50,295
Speaker 2: the plumb tree. Yeah, and well time has passed like

14
00:00:50,455 --> 00:00:53,135
Speaker 2: a bit like, well I did it, am I in

15
00:00:53,135 --> 00:00:53,735
Speaker 2: trouble now?

16
00:00:54,415 --> 00:00:56,695
Speaker 4: No good, I've done it to you, thank goodness recently.

17
00:00:56,935 --> 00:00:59,015
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, no, that was my job. On Friday

18
00:00:59,335 --> 00:01:02,375
Speaker 2: I launched. I thought I could see the first buds coming.

19
00:01:02,375 --> 00:01:03,815
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh.

20
00:01:04,015 --> 00:01:06,695
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, that's okay, all right, right, that's

21
00:01:06,735 --> 00:01:08,415
Speaker 4: not a problem. But you know what you should do

22
00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:11,055
Speaker 4: or look at the weather forecast for a couple of days.

23
00:01:11,215 --> 00:01:11,815
Speaker 3: It's pretty good.

24
00:01:11,975 --> 00:01:13,895
Speaker 4: It done. When you get some dry weather, yeah you go.

25
00:01:14,055 --> 00:01:15,775
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was like it was only a little bits.

26
00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:17,895
Speaker 2: It's just I've tried to reduce the canopy, bring it

27
00:01:17,895 --> 00:01:19,495
Speaker 2: all down, and I had all this stuff that was

28
00:01:19,935 --> 00:01:22,095
Speaker 2: shooting to the stars, and I thought, right, I'm going

29
00:01:22,135 --> 00:01:25,255
Speaker 2: to launch into that. And then foolishly enough, I took

30
00:01:25,295 --> 00:01:27,295
Speaker 2: all those bits that I'd cut off and I chopped

31
00:01:27,295 --> 00:01:28,975
Speaker 2: them up into little bits because I could add them

32
00:01:28,975 --> 00:01:31,735
Speaker 2: to the compost bin. But I did so well bending over,

33
00:01:31,775 --> 00:01:34,215
Speaker 2: and I have to say that standing up the next

34
00:01:34,295 --> 00:01:35,535
Speaker 2: day was a little challenging.

35
00:01:36,015 --> 00:01:41,655
Speaker 4: That's hard. Oh, I I've been chippering yesterday, you know,

36
00:01:41,815 --> 00:01:43,775
Speaker 4: so yes. First of all, First of all, I just

37
00:01:43,815 --> 00:01:44,375
Speaker 4: want to say.

38
00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:46,855
Speaker 3: Volunteers, why do I not have a chipper.

39
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:49,855
Speaker 4: A handsa handswer chipper. It's easier going to I'd have

40
00:01:49,895 --> 00:01:51,935
Speaker 4: them with a delbow without should have had them with

41
00:01:51,975 --> 00:01:55,575
Speaker 4: the delbow to be, but that's another story. They're quite heavy,

42
00:01:55,615 --> 00:01:58,535
Speaker 4: but they go really well, and they've got lovely sharp

43
00:01:58,655 --> 00:02:01,975
Speaker 4: sharp things and that they chipper everything to be. So

44
00:02:02,015 --> 00:02:04,375
Speaker 4: I did that yesterday, and then I had it. I

45
00:02:04,375 --> 00:02:06,975
Speaker 4: said I would go to the conservation volunteers who planted

46
00:02:07,015 --> 00:02:11,575
Speaker 4: two million plant trees. By the way, Yes they no, no,

47
00:02:11,615 --> 00:02:19,935
Speaker 4: and of course not come on, there are two million. Really, yes, amazing.

48
00:02:19,535 --> 00:02:22,255
Speaker 2: From one organization exactly who are they?

49
00:02:23,215 --> 00:02:26,855
Speaker 4: The conservation volunteers. They're all over New Zealand in various places.

50
00:02:26,855 --> 00:02:28,975
Speaker 4: So that was the But the chipper did really well

51
00:02:29,015 --> 00:02:32,255
Speaker 4: because I got rid of a probably a cubic meters

52
00:02:32,295 --> 00:02:35,135
Speaker 4: of a cubic meter or more of it was more

53
00:02:35,535 --> 00:02:39,255
Speaker 4: than of of what do you call it? Branches and

54
00:02:39,295 --> 00:02:41,815
Speaker 4: twigs and all that sort of stuff. And boy, that

55
00:02:41,935 --> 00:02:44,455
Speaker 4: went quick and it is such good stuff. Put it

56
00:02:44,495 --> 00:02:45,975
Speaker 4: in your compost where you go.

57
00:02:46,255 --> 00:02:50,935
Speaker 2: Honest, absolutely fantastic. Right, let's get into it. We've got

58
00:02:50,935 --> 00:02:52,895
Speaker 2: a couple of texts, but let's talk to Kerry first.

59
00:02:52,935 --> 00:02:55,015
Speaker 2: The lines are open. The number to call eight hundred

60
00:02:55,055 --> 00:02:57,575
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty Kerry, Good morning.

61
00:02:58,375 --> 00:03:03,695
Speaker 5: All, Good morning guys. Question for root wasteria trunk that

62
00:03:04,215 --> 00:03:07,695
Speaker 5: is next to a existing dick, and that dick needs

63
00:03:07,695 --> 00:03:11,655
Speaker 5: to be replaced with the foundation. So from what I understand,

64
00:03:11,655 --> 00:03:15,015
Speaker 5: the roots will probably hit everywhere. Now we need to

65
00:03:15,055 --> 00:03:19,175
Speaker 5: cut an effect to one side of that crunk. Is

66
00:03:19,215 --> 00:03:20,855
Speaker 5: it possible to say?

67
00:03:21,055 --> 00:03:24,255
Speaker 4: Sure? I'm sure it is because it will probably refurbish

68
00:03:24,335 --> 00:03:28,135
Speaker 4: itself quite nicely. And the nice thing about wisteria is

69
00:03:28,175 --> 00:03:31,255
Speaker 4: you might have heard Peter and I talking about puhutukawa

70
00:03:31,335 --> 00:03:35,335
Speaker 4: and roots and things like that. You know, because they

71
00:03:35,375 --> 00:03:37,415
Speaker 4: are quite invasive. They can do quite a bit of

72
00:03:37,455 --> 00:03:39,575
Speaker 4: damage to foundations and all that. They know how to

73
00:03:39,615 --> 00:03:41,975
Speaker 4: lift a house too, They do that for free, by

74
00:03:41,975 --> 00:03:43,455
Speaker 4: the way, anyway.

75
00:03:43,815 --> 00:03:44,855
Speaker 5: Nasty, But.

76
00:03:46,735 --> 00:03:52,095
Speaker 4: The wisteria actually is not that awful in terms of

77
00:03:52,495 --> 00:03:56,495
Speaker 4: getting near places. It tends to go down with its

78
00:03:56,575 --> 00:04:00,775
Speaker 4: roots rather than horizontal. So if you will get rid

79
00:04:00,815 --> 00:04:04,175
Speaker 4: of some of it, you'll find it'll grow back down again.

80
00:04:04,495 --> 00:04:07,015
Speaker 4: You'll find it's not too bad even if you take

81
00:04:07,095 --> 00:04:09,735
Speaker 4: a third of the roots of I reckon the whysteria

82
00:04:09,815 --> 00:04:12,335
Speaker 4: will get back into business soon.

83
00:04:13,455 --> 00:04:16,615
Speaker 5: What about what about a fear effectively cutting half of

84
00:04:16,695 --> 00:04:20,535
Speaker 5: one side off the the root system to go into

85
00:04:20,535 --> 00:04:22,295
Speaker 5: the found that you know, the way the foundation is

86
00:04:22,535 --> 00:04:25,095
Speaker 5: almost beside it. That's three hundred away from the house,

87
00:04:25,695 --> 00:04:28,535
Speaker 5: and you're cutting right down beside it. You're sort of

88
00:04:28,575 --> 00:04:30,135
Speaker 5: fairly confident it will survive.

89
00:04:30,175 --> 00:04:33,255
Speaker 4: It's quite I would take that risk.

90
00:04:33,335 --> 00:04:35,295
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

91
00:04:35,535 --> 00:04:38,535
Speaker 4: This is one of those things that literally could go anywhere.

92
00:04:38,775 --> 00:04:40,415
Speaker 4: And if it and if you drop it off and

93
00:04:40,455 --> 00:04:42,815
Speaker 4: you've got still half of it, lest you might have

94
00:04:42,895 --> 00:04:45,495
Speaker 4: a couple of years of like or maybe two years. Yeah,

95
00:04:45,495 --> 00:04:48,295
Speaker 4: a couple of years of Oh, not too sure about it.

96
00:04:48,695 --> 00:04:51,415
Speaker 4: But you'll find that these things quite often refurbish themselves

97
00:04:51,495 --> 00:04:57,975
Speaker 4: quite nicely underground. Okay, great, right, Well least the least

98
00:04:57,975 --> 00:04:59,415
Speaker 4: you can do is plant a new one if you

99
00:04:59,455 --> 00:05:01,775
Speaker 4: really need to. I mean, what the heck? You know

100
00:05:02,375 --> 00:05:05,375
Speaker 4: they have quick growing So yeah, now you can do it.

101
00:05:05,455 --> 00:05:06,935
Speaker 4: No worries, Gary away.

102
00:05:06,655 --> 00:05:10,055
Speaker 2: With security, much appreciate it. Do we need to take

103
00:05:10,055 --> 00:05:12,935
Speaker 2: a break already? No we do, No we don't. No, no, no, no,

104
00:05:13,455 --> 00:05:15,295
Speaker 2: I just saw henes.

105
00:05:17,015 --> 00:05:17,215
Speaker 6: Someone.

106
00:05:18,415 --> 00:05:21,655
Speaker 4: No, just not wave back, just wave back through the glass.

107
00:05:21,415 --> 00:05:27,095
Speaker 2: All right, and nata a very good morning to you.

108
00:05:27,855 --> 00:05:31,535
Speaker 7: Hello, good morning. Could I please ask the roots question.

109
00:05:33,775 --> 00:05:36,695
Speaker 7: I've got a lemon tree. He's got all orange spots

110
00:05:36,815 --> 00:05:39,375
Speaker 7: on it on it like rust, you know, on the

111
00:05:40,615 --> 00:05:43,015
Speaker 7: on the steams and on the branches, and I wonder

112
00:05:43,055 --> 00:05:43,615
Speaker 7: what it is.

113
00:05:44,615 --> 00:05:49,095
Speaker 4: I think it sounds a bit fun. Oh you're not

114
00:05:49,135 --> 00:05:52,455
Speaker 4: having it in the ground.

115
00:05:51,335 --> 00:05:53,935
Speaker 7: No, because my son does not find the place to

116
00:05:53,975 --> 00:05:55,735
Speaker 7: put it. So he's got in the post. It's only

117
00:05:55,735 --> 00:05:57,735
Speaker 7: a couple of years old. It's only about they meet

118
00:05:57,735 --> 00:06:00,655
Speaker 7: a high when it looks you've got about team lemons

119
00:06:00,695 --> 00:06:04,535
Speaker 7: on it, but in very spark leaves, but all this

120
00:06:04,655 --> 00:06:05,815
Speaker 7: spot and we wonder.

121
00:06:05,655 --> 00:06:09,375
Speaker 4: What what okay, that could be a fungal thing. And

122
00:06:09,495 --> 00:06:12,215
Speaker 4: I can't identify it orange. I don't I haven't seen

123
00:06:12,295 --> 00:06:14,815
Speaker 4: much orange little orange spots.

124
00:06:14,855 --> 00:06:18,535
Speaker 7: And he's putting a made glasshouse actually, and I put

125
00:06:18,535 --> 00:06:21,015
Speaker 7: it inside the glasshouse. And I don't know whether it's

126
00:06:21,055 --> 00:06:22,375
Speaker 7: happened in the air or what.

127
00:06:23,255 --> 00:06:25,775
Speaker 4: It could be. It could be a rust for that

128
00:06:25,935 --> 00:06:28,375
Speaker 4: you can use. You can spray it with it literally

129
00:06:28,415 --> 00:06:30,975
Speaker 4: with a rustkiller or with a fungus side if you

130
00:06:31,135 --> 00:06:33,775
Speaker 4: like to stop it. But there was another thing you said,

131
00:06:33,815 --> 00:06:36,295
Speaker 4: and it said you don't have many leaves, didn't you?

132
00:06:36,935 --> 00:06:40,295
Speaker 7: It doesn't have many leaves, Yeah, so that means it's

133
00:06:40,295 --> 00:06:41,495
Speaker 7: got quite a few lemons on.

134
00:06:42,055 --> 00:06:44,775
Speaker 4: Yes, that's fine. But you do need some fertilizer in there,

135
00:06:44,935 --> 00:06:50,215
Speaker 4: to be quite honest, And well, you can do that,

136
00:06:50,295 --> 00:06:52,535
Speaker 4: but you can also do a liquid fertilizer because when

137
00:06:52,575 --> 00:06:54,495
Speaker 4: you have it in a pot, you need to water

138
00:06:54,575 --> 00:06:56,815
Speaker 4: it every now and then, of course, and if you

139
00:06:56,975 --> 00:06:59,575
Speaker 4: if you use a liquid fertilizer, and and one of

140
00:06:59,655 --> 00:07:02,335
Speaker 4: my favorite ones is in this case seaweed tea from

141
00:07:02,535 --> 00:07:06,175
Speaker 4: wet and forget seaweed tea. Mix it. Mix it in

142
00:07:06,335 --> 00:07:10,215
Speaker 4: to a really weak amount, so it's like a really

143
00:07:10,295 --> 00:07:13,735
Speaker 4: weak tea, very light brown, and put that in and

144
00:07:13,775 --> 00:07:15,695
Speaker 4: you'll find that the plant will get you a bit

145
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:19,055
Speaker 4: more a bit more leaves. But Anita, in the long term,

146
00:07:19,175 --> 00:07:21,735
Speaker 4: if that plant is that keen to do this, I

147
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:23,775
Speaker 4: think it's time to make a decision on where to

148
00:07:23,775 --> 00:07:25,535
Speaker 4: plant it, and do it as soon as you can.

149
00:07:26,295 --> 00:07:29,295
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's all right. I told my son to. They're

150
00:07:29,335 --> 00:07:31,655
Speaker 7: not doing very well in pots anyway, unless it's a

151
00:07:31,735 --> 00:07:33,375
Speaker 7: very very big pot.

152
00:07:33,215 --> 00:07:36,015
Speaker 4: That's right, And then you get the trouble of shifting

153
00:07:36,055 --> 00:07:36,855
Speaker 4: them and all that sort of.

154
00:07:36,895 --> 00:07:40,895
Speaker 7: Nonsense, you know what I mean, become a danger exactly.

155
00:07:41,175 --> 00:07:43,375
Speaker 4: No, No, honestly, put him in the ground and put

156
00:07:43,415 --> 00:07:45,735
Speaker 4: him in nice soil, and do it now, because now

157
00:07:45,775 --> 00:07:48,255
Speaker 4: it's a good time to literally put that in before

158
00:07:48,295 --> 00:07:50,895
Speaker 4: it gets too warm for summer.

159
00:07:50,935 --> 00:07:51,415
Speaker 5: If you like.

160
00:07:51,935 --> 00:07:55,295
Speaker 4: Right now, it's good time. So get him to the change.

161
00:07:55,575 --> 00:08:01,655
Speaker 2: Bye, you come, plant the damn thing. Thank you very much, Anita.

162
00:08:01,735 --> 00:08:03,615
Speaker 2: We'll take a short break. We'll be back with Matt

163
00:08:03,735 --> 00:08:07,575
Speaker 2: in just a moment. I think I'll start something, probably

164
00:08:07,615 --> 00:08:10,175
Speaker 2: a bad habit with people with their pruning. Good morning,

165
00:08:10,255 --> 00:08:13,415
Speaker 2: quick question please. I live in North Canterbury and I

166
00:08:13,455 --> 00:08:16,535
Speaker 2: haven't yet pruned my roses. Am I too late? Always

167
00:08:16,615 --> 00:08:18,935
Speaker 2: enjoy the show, Have a great day. Cheers from Dafney.

168
00:08:19,615 --> 00:08:23,215
Speaker 2: Oh I feel that not doing your roses is worse

169
00:08:23,255 --> 00:08:24,495
Speaker 2: than not doing the plum tree.

170
00:08:24,815 --> 00:08:27,255
Speaker 4: No, it depends on where you live. Okay, I mean

171
00:08:27,335 --> 00:08:29,815
Speaker 4: you live in Kenbury. You first ask what boat where

172
00:08:29,855 --> 00:08:32,695
Speaker 4: you're on? What school did you go to? Three? Have

173
00:08:32,775 --> 00:08:40,735
Speaker 4: you quick? Have you clipped your roses anyway? No, it's

174
00:08:40,775 --> 00:08:43,455
Speaker 4: not too late. Just have it, you know what, you

175
00:08:43,495 --> 00:08:46,815
Speaker 4: know what, Peter, I love I love being you know. Anyway,

176
00:08:47,415 --> 00:08:49,895
Speaker 4: when you go to a rose place where they grow

177
00:08:49,935 --> 00:08:54,255
Speaker 4: your roses, yea, they go. Ultimately they clip their roses

178
00:08:54,295 --> 00:08:56,015
Speaker 4: sort of at this time of the year with a

179
00:08:56,455 --> 00:08:59,735
Speaker 4: lawn mower set at twelve so at about four or

180
00:08:59,775 --> 00:09:02,295
Speaker 4: five inches above the ground, go over at the top,

181
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:04,655
Speaker 4: off you go, goodbye. That's how your pruna rose.

182
00:09:06,375 --> 00:09:07,735
Speaker 2: But I always thought you had to do it at

183
00:09:07,775 --> 00:09:09,375
Speaker 2: Queen's birthday or King's birthday.

184
00:09:09,575 --> 00:09:12,575
Speaker 4: You can do that. Yeah, you can do it now. No,

185
00:09:12,695 --> 00:09:15,415
Speaker 4: it's not too late, honestly, it's not. And sometimes it

186
00:09:15,455 --> 00:09:17,255
Speaker 4: pays if you really want a good rose, and Julie

187
00:09:17,255 --> 00:09:19,335
Speaker 4: does there too, is to clip them when they are,

188
00:09:19,775 --> 00:09:21,615
Speaker 4: you know, in the middle of summer, to know when

189
00:09:21,615 --> 00:09:24,135
Speaker 4: you're in middle of sumber, when they're getting too large

190
00:09:24,215 --> 00:09:26,615
Speaker 4: or whatever, you know, to just it's your rose. You

191
00:09:26,615 --> 00:09:27,855
Speaker 4: can prune it the way you want to.

192
00:09:28,215 --> 00:09:33,175
Speaker 2: Really, we've given up on roses, yeah, so long time.

193
00:09:33,215 --> 00:09:33,455
Speaker 3: Really.

194
00:09:33,975 --> 00:09:37,335
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I'm taking the mickey. Yeah, Now, honestly,

195
00:09:37,415 --> 00:09:40,735
Speaker 4: i am some Look, I've seen plenty of roses. I've

196
00:09:40,775 --> 00:09:43,855
Speaker 4: smelled plenty of roses, beautiful ones, and there's these prickly ones,

197
00:09:43,855 --> 00:09:45,935
Speaker 4: and those are the ones that always get me, especially

198
00:09:45,975 --> 00:09:48,855
Speaker 4: when you don't have much hair with climbing roses. Sure,

199
00:09:49,415 --> 00:09:51,775
Speaker 4: but but what I'm saying is no, you can. You

200
00:09:51,775 --> 00:09:54,535
Speaker 4: can literally, this is still not too late to do

201
00:09:54,575 --> 00:09:55,615
Speaker 4: it the proper way.

202
00:09:56,335 --> 00:10:01,415
Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome, righto, matt A very good morning to you.

203
00:10:01,735 --> 00:10:04,055
Speaker 4: Heytt, we're going well, my friend. Are you are you

204
00:10:04,095 --> 00:10:04,775
Speaker 4: frosting a bit?

205
00:10:06,495 --> 00:10:06,975
Speaker 6: Sorry?

206
00:10:07,335 --> 00:10:08,575
Speaker 4: Are you frosting a bit?

207
00:10:09,415 --> 00:10:09,615
Speaker 6: Yeah?

208
00:10:09,655 --> 00:10:09,935
Speaker 4: I am.

209
00:10:10,055 --> 00:10:12,615
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've got a heap probably it's around my place

210
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:15,575
Speaker 6: and they've gone like a real white brown color.

211
00:10:16,335 --> 00:10:16,815
Speaker 4: Yeah.

212
00:10:17,055 --> 00:10:19,095
Speaker 6: I'm wondering if that the either of them, or would.

213
00:10:18,855 --> 00:10:21,935
Speaker 4: They come back not necessarily. Do you think they have

214
00:10:22,015 --> 00:10:23,015
Speaker 4: been done by the frost?

215
00:10:23,935 --> 00:10:25,975
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I've noticed that we've had

216
00:10:25,975 --> 00:10:27,575
Speaker 6: a couple of rual frosty days.

217
00:10:28,215 --> 00:10:33,535
Speaker 4: Yes, I know. Well I look when I go past

218
00:10:33,775 --> 00:10:37,015
Speaker 4: the what I call a potting shit. Julie's got a

219
00:10:37,135 --> 00:10:39,815
Speaker 4: lot of promeliates and they're all at the moment covered

220
00:10:39,895 --> 00:10:42,775
Speaker 4: with frost cloth, to be quite honest, and she leaves

221
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:45,415
Speaker 4: them on just in case. But although we hardly ever

222
00:10:45,455 --> 00:10:48,975
Speaker 4: get frost, it's just one of those things. Look, keep

223
00:10:48,975 --> 00:10:52,135
Speaker 4: them going, see what you can salvage. You never know

224
00:10:52,495 --> 00:10:54,975
Speaker 4: if they if they come back. But it doesn't sound

225
00:10:54,975 --> 00:10:56,215
Speaker 4: too great, to be quite honest.

226
00:10:57,335 --> 00:10:59,095
Speaker 2: Yeah right, okay, no.

227
00:10:59,215 --> 00:11:02,575
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's the way it is. Do you realize,

228
00:11:02,575 --> 00:11:05,495
Speaker 4: by the way, do you realize there's liquid cloth type

229
00:11:05,575 --> 00:11:09,855
Speaker 4: stuff which you spray onto the leaves, and that would

230
00:11:09,935 --> 00:11:13,455
Speaker 4: stop the frost from say up to four degrees minus

231
00:11:13,495 --> 00:11:20,615
Speaker 4: fives minus from actually damaging your your plants gun shops. Yep,

232
00:11:20,895 --> 00:11:24,535
Speaker 4: liquid frost materials. Good fun. But honestly, you haven't go

233
00:11:26,055 --> 00:11:27,775
Speaker 4: it might be a bit too late. It doesn't work

234
00:11:27,855 --> 00:11:32,255
Speaker 4: in reverse afraid. Yeah, okay, okay, sorry to hear that.

235
00:11:33,255 --> 00:11:37,255
Speaker 2: Go well, all, am, I assuming rud that with the

236
00:11:37,295 --> 00:11:41,535
Speaker 2: familiars that because they're like fleshy leaves, aren't they with

237
00:11:41,615 --> 00:11:42,895
Speaker 2: a lot of liquid in them?

238
00:11:42,935 --> 00:11:43,255
Speaker 4: Liquid?

239
00:11:43,255 --> 00:11:45,415
Speaker 2: If they got hit by the frost, they would.

240
00:11:45,175 --> 00:11:48,135
Speaker 4: You got it. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's that's exactly how

241
00:11:48,175 --> 00:11:50,775
Speaker 4: And then they their veins burst open and all that

242
00:11:50,815 --> 00:11:53,695
Speaker 4: sort of stuff. You get a lot of damage that way. Yeah,

243
00:11:53,775 --> 00:11:54,415
Speaker 4: it can happen.

244
00:11:55,455 --> 00:11:59,775
Speaker 2: Interesting quick question. Lime tree has been transplanted four years ago,

245
00:11:59,935 --> 00:12:02,895
Speaker 2: doubled in size, but has never had any fruit, although

246
00:12:02,895 --> 00:12:04,935
Speaker 2: I have been feeding it. It's covered in flowers for

247
00:12:04,975 --> 00:12:07,535
Speaker 2: the first time. What do you think is going on there?

248
00:12:08,015 --> 00:12:11,575
Speaker 4: Potash, silver, sulfate of potash. It's the old standards for me.

249
00:12:11,735 --> 00:12:14,375
Speaker 4: That you can feed it with anything you like. But

250
00:12:14,415 --> 00:12:17,775
Speaker 4: if there's no potash in the food, the flowers will

251
00:12:17,815 --> 00:12:19,495
Speaker 4: not set fruit that easily.

252
00:12:20,095 --> 00:12:23,135
Speaker 2: So and because they've got flowers, will they inevitably get

253
00:12:23,175 --> 00:12:25,775
Speaker 2: fruit or can it just flour but no fruit?

254
00:12:26,295 --> 00:12:30,335
Speaker 4: Well, if it's lacking the potash, it probably won't work.

255
00:12:31,135 --> 00:12:34,055
Speaker 4: But if you do have potash, there's flowers will develop

256
00:12:34,095 --> 00:12:37,055
Speaker 4: into what they are supposed to develop into, is fruit.

257
00:12:37,455 --> 00:12:39,975
Speaker 2: Yeah, going back to my plum tree, not that I'm

258
00:12:40,135 --> 00:12:43,175
Speaker 2: slightly obsisted by given that I've hacked it, should I

259
00:12:43,255 --> 00:12:44,495
Speaker 2: be doing potash as well?

260
00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:47,855
Speaker 4: No? No, no, because you need you need your plum

261
00:12:47,935 --> 00:12:52,815
Speaker 4: to be NPK, which is neutral, so general fertilizer. And yeah,

262
00:12:53,095 --> 00:12:55,375
Speaker 4: especially after pruning at the moment. And what you can

263
00:12:55,415 --> 00:12:58,815
Speaker 4: do is after you've had your plum tree flowering properly

264
00:12:58,855 --> 00:13:01,335
Speaker 4: in a month's time, say that's when you can do

265
00:13:01,415 --> 00:13:03,375
Speaker 4: a little bit of potash on the root zone.

266
00:13:03,535 --> 00:13:06,735
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, job for me. It is twelve

267
00:13:06,735 --> 00:13:08,535
Speaker 2: minutes away from nine. We'll take a short break. We'll

268
00:13:08,575 --> 00:13:12,455
Speaker 2: be with Helen in just the moment. Do you root

269
00:13:12,495 --> 00:13:15,495
Speaker 2: climb passed with me and Helen. Good morning to you.

270
00:13:16,975 --> 00:13:20,455
Speaker 8: Good morning. Look, I was wonder that's rude, because recommend

271
00:13:20,455 --> 00:13:25,015
Speaker 8: a good general fertilizer for my high rangers. I prouned

272
00:13:25,055 --> 00:13:28,655
Speaker 8: them in late April, and I've now got nice spream leaves,

273
00:13:28,735 --> 00:13:32,775
Speaker 8: and I was just wonder if you could recommend something a.

274
00:13:32,815 --> 00:13:36,335
Speaker 4: Good general fertilizer. Helen will do anything that is what

275
00:13:36,375 --> 00:13:39,775
Speaker 4: they call a general fertilizer of NPK will do it

276
00:13:39,815 --> 00:13:42,455
Speaker 4: reasonably well. And if you wanted a bit extra blue,

277
00:13:42,575 --> 00:13:45,175
Speaker 4: you can put some aluminium cell fate on it as well.

278
00:13:45,215 --> 00:13:51,295
Speaker 4: But that's another story on all Why oh that's good

279
00:13:52,015 --> 00:13:55,575
Speaker 4: Nitroposca blue. I love nitrofosca blue, which is and it's

280
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:59,295
Speaker 4: a granular thing that every time it rains it a

281
00:13:59,295 --> 00:14:01,815
Speaker 4: little bit leaches into the root zone and the plants

282
00:14:01,895 --> 00:14:07,935
Speaker 4: love it the same same at our price, nitro fossil. Yeah,

283
00:14:07,975 --> 00:14:11,695
Speaker 4: you get from your garden center. Yeah, centers, everybody.

284
00:14:13,335 --> 00:14:17,655
Speaker 8: What would be the frequency of personalizing the hydrange right

285
00:14:17,815 --> 00:14:18,775
Speaker 8: now and then.

286
00:14:18,695 --> 00:14:22,055
Speaker 4: When no, when you've got the new leaves on now

287
00:14:22,095 --> 00:14:23,255
Speaker 4: have you yes?

288
00:14:23,415 --> 00:14:23,575
Speaker 7: Yes?

289
00:14:25,095 --> 00:14:29,535
Speaker 4: Do it now? Do it again in October? I suppose,

290
00:14:30,375 --> 00:14:33,255
Speaker 4: and a little bit in December. Just a handful to

291
00:14:33,295 --> 00:14:38,255
Speaker 4: the square meter. Oh lovely, Helen, Helen, Helen, This is

292
00:14:38,295 --> 00:14:42,415
Speaker 4: the most scientific way of saying it. A handful to

293
00:14:42,495 --> 00:14:45,175
Speaker 4: the square media. In other words, you know how gardeners

294
00:14:45,215 --> 00:14:47,335
Speaker 4: tossed it down. That's how it works.

295
00:14:48,455 --> 00:14:53,815
Speaker 8: Lovely, that's the part I love, so do I.

296
00:14:52,175 --> 00:14:56,895
Speaker 2: But funny how I feel like hydrangers have come back

297
00:14:56,935 --> 00:14:59,535
Speaker 2: and the fashion because they to me, they always felt

298
00:14:59,535 --> 00:15:02,015
Speaker 2: like a bit of an old person's plan, right, and

299
00:15:02,295 --> 00:15:05,695
Speaker 2: maybe because I now am so, I've been planting them

300
00:15:05,735 --> 00:15:06,895
Speaker 2: as well, and I I really.

301
00:15:06,735 --> 00:15:09,895
Speaker 3: Enjoy it now watching them come up and.

302
00:15:09,655 --> 00:15:13,015
Speaker 4: Some stunning varieties. I remember Julie and I went to

303
00:15:15,655 --> 00:15:19,055
Speaker 4: Forgot the Forgotten where it was the New Plymouth area,

304
00:15:19,175 --> 00:15:21,695
Speaker 4: and we basically got a whole lot of varieties that

305
00:15:21,735 --> 00:15:24,015
Speaker 4: were just out and they are doing so well. The

306
00:15:24,095 --> 00:15:27,295
Speaker 4: gorgeous stuff, good colors, good flowers.

307
00:15:27,375 --> 00:15:29,855
Speaker 3: No, it looks nice, beautiful, awesome.

308
00:15:30,335 --> 00:15:32,095
Speaker 2: Quick last call from Hope.

309
00:15:32,295 --> 00:15:34,095
Speaker 3: Morning morning.

310
00:15:34,375 --> 00:15:38,215
Speaker 6: How are you hey, I'm very well, oh fantastic. I

311
00:15:38,215 --> 00:15:42,015
Speaker 6: have a question for ru, to be honest. Basically, basically

312
00:15:42,015 --> 00:15:45,615
Speaker 6: I want to make a walking tree. So basically I

313
