1
00:00:06,855 --> 00:00:10,695
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp

2
00:00:10,895 --> 00:00:11,695
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

3
00:00:11,735 --> 00:00:13,095
Speaker 2: That'd be just.

4
00:00:13,175 --> 00:00:15,335
Speaker 3: Quickly before we talk to Rude. We've got a bunch

5
00:00:15,375 --> 00:00:18,535
Speaker 3: of questions around that, the Fencing Act and being our guest,

6
00:00:18,535 --> 00:00:20,375
Speaker 3: who's the lawyer around that? So we're going to actually

7
00:00:20,375 --> 00:00:22,375
Speaker 3: try and get Ben back on the show before the

8
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:25,975
Speaker 3: end of the year, which is scarily close, and answer

9
00:00:26,015 --> 00:00:28,815
Speaker 3: some of those question, particularly ones around trees and boundaries

10
00:00:28,895 --> 00:00:32,055
Speaker 3: and you know what your rights are. You know, what

11
00:00:32,095 --> 00:00:34,055
Speaker 3: can you do to lop off but some pieces of

12
00:00:34,095 --> 00:00:36,335
Speaker 3: your neighbor's tree if it hangs over the boundary, because

13
00:00:36,335 --> 00:00:37,335
Speaker 3: we've all done that, haven't we.

14
00:00:37,495 --> 00:00:37,655
Speaker 4: Rud?

15
00:00:38,735 --> 00:00:47,095
Speaker 3: Hey, hello, Rud, Now I can what's happening here? Rud?

16
00:00:47,255 --> 00:00:52,415
Speaker 3: Are you with me? Hello? Rud? Just hold on there,

17
00:00:52,535 --> 00:00:57,895
Speaker 3: I'll go back to here in conference. Hello, good, there

18
00:00:57,935 --> 00:01:01,895
Speaker 3: you go. Yeah, yeah, hit it with a beginning.

19
00:01:03,175 --> 00:01:05,255
Speaker 2: I was waiting. I was waiting for the first mistake,

20
00:01:05,295 --> 00:01:06,015
Speaker 2: and there it was.

21
00:01:06,055 --> 00:01:07,215
Speaker 4: There was just like that.

22
00:01:07,415 --> 00:01:11,935
Speaker 3: I'm happy to oblige typically with mistakes. It's the one

23
00:01:11,975 --> 00:01:12,735
Speaker 3: thing I'm good at.

24
00:01:15,495 --> 00:01:18,095
Speaker 2: I love things like that. I always like to take

25
00:01:18,135 --> 00:01:19,375
Speaker 2: the mickey, are you good?

26
00:01:19,575 --> 00:01:20,455
Speaker 3: I am, thank you?

27
00:01:20,495 --> 00:01:23,495
Speaker 2: And you get excellent. I mean, one of the best

28
00:01:23,495 --> 00:01:25,455
Speaker 2: places in the world in his mine is fifteen. At

29
00:01:25,455 --> 00:01:31,855
Speaker 2: the moment, he BENI burn good grip. It's gold believable. Actually,

30
00:01:31,895 --> 00:01:34,295
Speaker 2: the helicopters are doing frost fighting at the moment. It's

31
00:01:34,455 --> 00:01:35,295
Speaker 2: just unbelievable.

32
00:01:35,455 --> 00:01:36,215
Speaker 4: I must have.

33
00:01:36,575 --> 00:01:39,095
Speaker 3: Even this week in Auckland, I got up, you know, early,

34
00:01:39,135 --> 00:01:41,255
Speaker 3: and jumped in the car, hit it off, and I thought, gee,

35
00:01:41,295 --> 00:01:43,175
Speaker 3: it's still quite cold for this time of year.

36
00:01:44,495 --> 00:01:47,855
Speaker 2: Did you notice it was a really chilly week. I know, yeah,

37
00:01:47,935 --> 00:01:50,535
Speaker 2: I know, But it's cool because the guy who I'm

38
00:01:50,575 --> 00:01:54,375
Speaker 2: staying scared to Cousin Road for the first time going

39
00:01:54,415 --> 00:01:58,135
Speaker 2: out with his drone and spraying his crops, his grapes

40
00:01:58,295 --> 00:02:01,855
Speaker 2: with the drone. He's huge. Drone unbelievable.

41
00:02:02,855 --> 00:02:07,175
Speaker 3: Wow, technology, technology, it is a crazy I saw a

42
00:02:07,215 --> 00:02:08,695
Speaker 3: lot of those fields here.

43
00:02:09,735 --> 00:02:14,775
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Hey, listen before we go and you yeah, well,

44
00:02:14,895 --> 00:02:16,815
Speaker 2: let's do that. But first I want to talk about

45
00:02:16,815 --> 00:02:19,175
Speaker 2: the flat worm, and then I want about Black Elevator.

46
00:02:19,295 --> 00:02:23,335
Speaker 2: So you remember we got this call or an email

47
00:02:23,415 --> 00:02:25,575
Speaker 2: or text whatever it was from Dennis Hunt see what

48
00:02:25,695 --> 00:02:28,735
Speaker 2: had some problems with the irrigation case. Yes, in his card,

49
00:02:28,855 --> 00:02:32,575
Speaker 2: and I finally got the picture and I chucked it

50
00:02:32,655 --> 00:02:35,055
Speaker 2: on our naturalist and I'm not one hundred percent sure

51
00:02:35,135 --> 00:02:37,575
Speaker 2: if it is exactly good, but we think it's a

52
00:02:37,695 --> 00:02:42,415
Speaker 2: flat worm that can make themselves really thin as they

53
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:45,935
Speaker 2: go into little tiny holes and basically when it's dry,

54
00:02:46,135 --> 00:02:48,455
Speaker 2: they tried to look for water, I suppose, and they

55
00:02:48,575 --> 00:02:51,855
Speaker 2: must have gone into that irrigation hit and basically then

56
00:02:52,215 --> 00:02:54,935
Speaker 2: drunk some water, got fatter and couldn't care.

57
00:02:57,855 --> 00:02:59,495
Speaker 3: I mean, that's all logical, isn't it.

58
00:03:00,655 --> 00:03:04,095
Speaker 2: It is a little bit logical, but it's still, you know,

59
00:03:04,215 --> 00:03:06,215
Speaker 2: it's still hard to see what the worm was like.

60
00:03:06,975 --> 00:03:10,815
Speaker 2: It looked like that that. If anybody at Dimensionist looks

61
00:03:10,855 --> 00:03:13,175
Speaker 2: it up and says, no, it's not that, it's something different,

62
00:03:13,535 --> 00:03:15,415
Speaker 2: then I'd like to know. But it looked it looked

63
00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:17,295
Speaker 2: like that. So there you go. There was one of

64
00:03:17,335 --> 00:03:20,375
Speaker 2: those crazy stories from the gardens that these things can

65
00:03:20,455 --> 00:03:22,295
Speaker 2: actually block your irrigation.

66
00:03:22,455 --> 00:03:25,495
Speaker 3: I'm intrigued now because I don't have nozzles for irrigation

67
00:03:25,615 --> 00:03:28,535
Speaker 3: in the garden. I've essentially got a dripline, right, so

68
00:03:28,695 --> 00:03:33,415
Speaker 3: soca hose, so it has small perforations at regular distances

69
00:03:33,575 --> 00:03:37,015
Speaker 3: along you know, semi rigid piping and I've got that

70
00:03:37,295 --> 00:03:40,575
Speaker 3: very just below the mulch, So potentially would I have

71
00:03:40,775 --> 00:03:44,495
Speaker 3: worms trying to enter through those? Or is that too small?

72
00:03:44,575 --> 00:03:48,295
Speaker 3: Like we're talking half a million now, unless.

73
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:50,655
Speaker 2: You're if I think I know what you're talking about.

74
00:03:50,695 --> 00:03:53,855
Speaker 2: It's a really minute thing. This might have been a

75
00:03:53,935 --> 00:03:57,135
Speaker 2: slightly bigger one. But I have to say those flatworms

76
00:03:57,415 --> 00:03:59,615
Speaker 2: can literally do all the crazy things with their body

77
00:03:59,695 --> 00:04:02,455
Speaker 2: by making themselves really thin and you know, and then

78
00:04:02,615 --> 00:04:06,175
Speaker 2: being bulging on either end and making the thinness moved

79
00:04:06,295 --> 00:04:11,375
Speaker 2: through the obstruction. It's crazy. I think this sort of

80
00:04:11,615 --> 00:04:14,535
Speaker 2: yeah it is, yeah, right, I hope you're taking your calls.

81
00:04:14,615 --> 00:04:17,455
Speaker 3: Thees open. The number is eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

82
00:04:17,535 --> 00:04:22,255
Speaker 3: A text question for you. Good morning, my MAA lemon

83
00:04:22,615 --> 00:04:25,495
Speaker 3: has doubled in size this year. It has flowers, but

84
00:04:25,655 --> 00:04:28,375
Speaker 3: the leaves on most of the new growth are a

85
00:04:28,535 --> 00:04:32,295
Speaker 3: paler green color, almost yellow. Is this normal? Will it

86
00:04:32,415 --> 00:04:35,255
Speaker 3: green up? Or is it a deficiency of some sort?

87
00:04:35,735 --> 00:04:39,695
Speaker 3: I find I feed it with chilletts, chillatts and lemon

88
00:04:39,815 --> 00:04:42,215
Speaker 3: food and water regularly from Amanda.

89
00:04:42,815 --> 00:04:45,575
Speaker 2: Okay, that, yeah, that's a bit weird, because I would

90
00:04:45,615 --> 00:04:48,775
Speaker 2: say it is important to fertilize them, especially when they're

91
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:52,655
Speaker 2: growing and producing fruit. That could be the yellowing. The

92
00:04:52,775 --> 00:04:55,895
Speaker 2: yellowing is also a sign of maybe not enough nitrogen

93
00:04:56,215 --> 00:04:59,215
Speaker 2: or too much. No, no, not not enough nitrogen or

94
00:04:59,295 --> 00:05:02,695
Speaker 2: not enough I think it's phosphate. You get the yellowing

95
00:05:02,855 --> 00:05:05,095
Speaker 2: of the leaves as well. So you have to have

96
00:05:05,295 --> 00:05:08,575
Speaker 2: a balanced fertilizer to make sure that that plant gets

97
00:05:08,655 --> 00:05:13,215
Speaker 2: everything it wants. Literally. But then, you know, citrus can

98
00:05:13,335 --> 00:05:15,735
Speaker 2: be real dodgy or what do you call it grumpy,

99
00:05:16,015 --> 00:05:18,175
Speaker 2: you know, and sometimes doesn't do what it wants, what

100
00:05:18,335 --> 00:05:20,695
Speaker 2: it needs to do, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

101
00:05:20,935 --> 00:05:23,255
Speaker 2: You might find it's you know, it'll.

102
00:05:23,095 --> 00:05:25,175
Speaker 4: Work okay when you're fertilized.

103
00:05:25,375 --> 00:05:28,375
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, and what's that best type of fertilizer.

104
00:05:29,215 --> 00:05:32,975
Speaker 2: Oh, general, a general fertilizer or a citrus fertilizer.

105
00:05:33,335 --> 00:05:37,815
Speaker 3: Right, Okay. I was in the garden yesterday doing well,

106
00:05:38,015 --> 00:05:39,815
Speaker 3: right at the end of the day. Finally got into

107
00:05:39,855 --> 00:05:41,495
Speaker 3: the garden and one of the things I was doing

108
00:05:41,615 --> 00:05:43,615
Speaker 3: was going around with a bit of liquid fertilizer, just

109
00:05:43,735 --> 00:05:45,495
Speaker 3: sort of giving a top up to everything and the

110
00:05:45,575 --> 00:05:46,735
Speaker 3: hedges and pieces.

111
00:05:48,015 --> 00:05:49,975
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll tell you what, this is the most

112
00:05:50,055 --> 00:05:52,495
Speaker 2: generous time to do it. Because it's the biggest time

113
00:05:52,575 --> 00:05:53,575
Speaker 2: of growth in the garden.

114
00:05:54,455 --> 00:05:55,615
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good to know.

115
00:05:56,935 --> 00:05:59,975
Speaker 2: Another before we go, I just want to say this

116
00:06:00,495 --> 00:06:03,975
Speaker 2: christ and Bobby from Clark Cultivated told me if people

117
00:06:04,055 --> 00:06:06,455
Speaker 2: want to get a look at the Clark Cultivator, go

118
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:09,575
Speaker 2: to the website, which is Glack Cultivated dot co dots

119
00:06:10,495 --> 00:06:12,535
Speaker 2: order one and if they mention that they read it

120
00:06:12,655 --> 00:06:16,175
Speaker 2: on your show here, they are doing a very generous discount.

121
00:06:16,335 --> 00:06:19,535
Speaker 2: So just saying, if you want a number of good

122
00:06:19,615 --> 00:06:23,375
Speaker 2: Christmas presents ever, go at Clack Cultivated dot co dot

123
00:06:23,415 --> 00:06:24,975
Speaker 2: in jet polishly brilliant.

124
00:06:25,215 --> 00:06:26,895
Speaker 3: Certainly if you give them one, you'll never have to

125
00:06:26,935 --> 00:06:29,375
Speaker 3: buy them another one because they're as strong as all

126
00:06:29,415 --> 00:06:29,775
Speaker 3: get out.

127
00:06:30,815 --> 00:06:31,255
Speaker 2: You got it.

128
00:06:31,455 --> 00:06:32,215
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's lovely.

129
00:06:32,415 --> 00:06:34,335
Speaker 2: It's lovely, So there you go. Right.

130
00:06:34,415 --> 00:06:38,975
Speaker 3: Yeah. Another question from Paul. I've got some space out

131
00:06:39,055 --> 00:06:41,855
Speaker 3: the back of my section between a shed and a fence,

132
00:06:41,895 --> 00:06:46,455
Speaker 3: approximately five by two meters. It's often overgrown and he

133
00:06:46,575 --> 00:06:48,935
Speaker 3: just sort of hits it with the weed eater. It's

134
00:06:49,055 --> 00:06:51,575
Speaker 3: predominantly in the shade. But he's wondering if he can

135
00:06:51,655 --> 00:06:54,215
Speaker 3: make use of the space to grow vegetables. So the

136
00:06:54,295 --> 00:06:57,855
Speaker 3: question is what vegetables could I possibly grow in a

137
00:06:57,975 --> 00:06:58,815
Speaker 3: shady area.

138
00:07:00,535 --> 00:07:10,135
Speaker 2: Oh well, hm hmm. I always go the other way

139
00:07:10,415 --> 00:07:13,495
Speaker 2: and in the sunny side. This is why I am

140
00:07:13,615 --> 00:07:20,135
Speaker 2: now thinking what would work in a shady sign. Look, tomatoes,

141
00:07:20,135 --> 00:07:22,535
Speaker 2: if they get more than five hours sun a day,

142
00:07:22,655 --> 00:07:27,295
Speaker 2: will probably do it. If I look at my tunnel house,

143
00:07:27,335 --> 00:07:30,535
Speaker 2: sometimes you didn't fish with stuff growing around the tunnel house,

144
00:07:31,295 --> 00:07:33,895
Speaker 2: especially into this time of the year shades the tunnel

145
00:07:33,935 --> 00:07:36,295
Speaker 2: house a bit more than it does in midsummer. You'll

146
00:07:36,295 --> 00:07:38,615
Speaker 2: find that they can stand things like that. But it's

147
00:07:38,775 --> 00:07:40,415
Speaker 2: not ideal, to be quite.

148
00:07:40,295 --> 00:07:44,735
Speaker 3: Honest, what would be sort of the minimum number of

149
00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:48,255
Speaker 3: hours of sunlight you would need on a vegetable garden

150
00:07:48,375 --> 00:07:49,895
Speaker 3: to get reasonable growth.

151
00:07:51,375 --> 00:07:55,135
Speaker 2: Well, to be quite honest, I've had not bad results

152
00:07:55,455 --> 00:07:59,575
Speaker 2: in a not too shit, not too sunny side with broccoli,

153
00:08:00,135 --> 00:08:04,815
Speaker 2: for instance, And we're talking maybe only six seven hours

154
00:08:04,815 --> 00:08:08,895
Speaker 2: a day rather than the ten or ten or so

155
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:11,295
Speaker 2: that you get in summertime, you know, because you go

156
00:08:11,415 --> 00:08:14,255
Speaker 2: down there towards the horizon, so you do get shaped anyway.

157
00:08:14,735 --> 00:08:18,575
Speaker 2: So but I've never really had to measure that because

158
00:08:18,615 --> 00:08:22,455
Speaker 2: I've got a north facing section yep, and it goes

159
00:08:22,535 --> 00:08:25,175
Speaker 2: down as you know, you know, and you can basically

160
00:08:25,215 --> 00:08:26,135
Speaker 2: you've got sun all day.

161
00:08:26,655 --> 00:08:29,735
Speaker 4: It's amazing, and that is to be quite on the

162
00:08:29,855 --> 00:08:33,935
Speaker 4: best way. Oh no, sorry, I can't without doing any research.

163
00:08:34,015 --> 00:08:35,255
Speaker 4: And that's a bit hard to do.

164
00:08:35,295 --> 00:08:37,375
Speaker 2: Where I am right now. I find that I would

165
00:08:37,415 --> 00:08:40,335
Speaker 2: find it very hard to give you a crop that says, oh,

166
00:08:40,415 --> 00:08:41,735
Speaker 2: I can do it on four hours.

167
00:08:42,775 --> 00:08:44,815
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one of those things where he's looking

168
00:08:44,895 --> 00:08:47,335
Speaker 3: to utilize a little bit of land on one and

169
00:08:47,855 --> 00:08:50,175
Speaker 3: just you know, put Vigi's into stop the weeds sort

170
00:08:50,215 --> 00:08:55,215
Speaker 3: of thing. Then maybe he's off doing a groundcover maybe yeah.

171
00:08:55,375 --> 00:09:00,735
Speaker 2: Or there's another thing. If you, for instance, have what

172
00:09:00,775 --> 00:09:03,135
Speaker 2: do you call the passion fruit when he grows, let's

173
00:09:03,135 --> 00:09:10,775
Speaker 2: see a beta right input of sunlight the yep, I

174
00:09:11,055 --> 00:09:13,975
Speaker 2: go higher up, Yes, I do.

175
00:09:14,455 --> 00:09:16,095
Speaker 4: Shrugs of trees.

176
00:09:19,095 --> 00:09:22,335
Speaker 3: We take the question before we go to the break.

177
00:09:22,975 --> 00:09:26,735
Speaker 3: I've got a small flowering cherry tree that weeps down.

178
00:09:26,855 --> 00:09:29,975
Speaker 3: It has flowered for the first time now and the

179
00:09:30,135 --> 00:09:33,695
Speaker 3: leaf but it has tiny little holes all over the leaves.

180
00:09:33,815 --> 00:09:35,015
Speaker 3: What could have caused that?

181
00:09:36,615 --> 00:09:38,935
Speaker 2: Quite often it's tiny beetles. If it's in the north,

182
00:09:38,975 --> 00:09:41,415
Speaker 2: it could be brown beetles. It could be bronze beetles. Sorry,

183
00:09:41,455 --> 00:09:44,575
Speaker 2: it could be stuff like that. Generally speaking, if something

184
00:09:44,775 --> 00:09:48,335
Speaker 2: choose little holes in your leaves, it has very little

185
00:09:48,495 --> 00:09:52,095
Speaker 2: impact on the health of the plant, because that plant

186
00:09:52,175 --> 00:09:55,935
Speaker 2: will refurbish itself and grow new leaves if the balance

187
00:09:56,055 --> 00:09:58,935
Speaker 2: of green leaves versus the rest of the bulk of

188
00:09:59,015 --> 00:10:03,135
Speaker 2: the plant is disturbed, so it will actually make new leaves.

189
00:10:03,215 --> 00:10:05,735
Speaker 2: And it looks a bit crappy, you know, but that's okay,

190
00:10:05,815 --> 00:10:09,615
Speaker 2: don't worry about it. Usually these glands will survive brilliantly.

191
00:10:11,055 --> 00:10:12,575
Speaker 3: One more texts before we go to the break. We

192
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:14,935
Speaker 3: are taking you calls too, folks, So eight hundred and

193
00:10:14,975 --> 00:10:17,615
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty, but here's one and I'm my ears

194
00:10:17,655 --> 00:10:22,655
Speaker 3: pricked up with us. Ridd I've got Ficus toffy which

195
00:10:22,735 --> 00:10:25,975
Speaker 3: is curling at the top. Otherwise it's green and healthy.

196
00:10:26,015 --> 00:10:29,255
Speaker 3: It's just in the new growth. I can't see any insects,

197
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:32,455
Speaker 3: and I've sprayed with soapy water as a precaution. Any

198
00:10:32,535 --> 00:10:34,255
Speaker 3: advice please from Phil.

199
00:10:35,375 --> 00:10:38,735
Speaker 2: Well selfie water if it is an insect, would only

200
00:10:38,935 --> 00:10:44,135
Speaker 2: clean the insect. Yeah enough, I've been saying that a lot.

201
00:10:44,055 --> 00:10:46,655
Speaker 4: That So, so what's goot the symptoms?

202
00:10:46,695 --> 00:10:52,895
Speaker 2: The top the new growth is curling, Yeah, yeah, cooling Okay,

203
00:10:53,295 --> 00:10:56,495
Speaker 2: that could that could be, for instance, and deficiency of

204
00:10:56,575 --> 00:11:01,455
Speaker 2: certain fertilizers too, a cooling thing. I expected this. It's

205
00:11:01,735 --> 00:11:01,975
Speaker 2: it is.

206
00:11:04,455 --> 00:11:05,895
Speaker 4: Do you throw the inside insight?

207
00:11:08,255 --> 00:11:10,655
Speaker 3: I think of stuffian's bound to be outside as a

208
00:11:10,735 --> 00:11:12,215
Speaker 3: huge That's what I would say.

209
00:11:12,295 --> 00:11:17,895
Speaker 2: Yeah, but sometimes people okay, but yeah, but yes it

210
00:11:17,935 --> 00:11:20,215
Speaker 2: would be an outsider. I think it's to do with

211
00:11:20,335 --> 00:11:23,375
Speaker 2: a fertilizer deficiency, and for that reason I would give

212
00:11:23,375 --> 00:11:26,575
Speaker 2: it some some general fertilizer on the regular basis, but

213
00:11:26,775 --> 00:11:31,175
Speaker 2: also the stuff you get for trace elements fertilizer, which

214
00:11:31,215 --> 00:11:33,895
Speaker 2: is just a small bag a little bit then full

215
00:11:34,095 --> 00:11:36,455
Speaker 2: water it well in and you'll find that it quite

216
00:11:36,495 --> 00:11:39,215
Speaker 2: often does the curling. Give the curling a bit of

217
00:11:39,255 --> 00:11:41,415
Speaker 2: a rectification if you want.

218
00:11:43,735 --> 00:11:47,615
Speaker 3: I put some Nitrofoscar blue around the fighters about a

219
00:11:47,695 --> 00:11:49,535
Speaker 3: month ago. Should I do it again?

220
00:11:52,975 --> 00:11:54,815
Speaker 4: You can do it in a couple of a month.

221
00:11:54,935 --> 00:11:56,695
Speaker 4: A month ago, do it in another month.

222
00:11:58,695 --> 00:12:00,615
Speaker 2: I think that that's a good spacing for it. And

223
00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:02,815
Speaker 2: my night of Fosco blue is that one of those

224
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:07,015
Speaker 2: wonderful general fertilizers. You water the then of course to

225
00:12:07,095 --> 00:12:09,175
Speaker 2: get it to the root zone, and it will last

226
00:12:09,215 --> 00:12:11,295
Speaker 2: quite a while because it's cranular as you can see,

227
00:12:11,495 --> 00:12:15,415
Speaker 2: so it slowly steps into the ground and on the

228
00:12:15,495 --> 00:12:18,055
Speaker 2: root zone with every time you water or every time

229
00:12:18,095 --> 00:12:18,655
Speaker 2: it rains.

230
00:12:18,975 --> 00:12:21,615
Speaker 3: Yeah, fantastic. Right, we're going to take a short break.

231
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:24,175
Speaker 3: Is with us. If you've got a question for Red

232
00:12:24,255 --> 00:12:26,775
Speaker 3: call eight hundred and eighty ten eighty you're a new

233
00:12:26,815 --> 00:12:31,055
Speaker 3: stalks been us or eleven minutes away from nine o'clock.

234
00:12:31,215 --> 00:12:32,895
Speaker 3: Rudd is with me and we're going to have a

235
00:12:32,935 --> 00:12:35,855
Speaker 3: go at this whole conference call thing patch. Good morning

236
00:12:35,935 --> 00:12:36,095
Speaker 3: to you.

237
00:12:37,735 --> 00:12:40,535
Speaker 5: You good one of guys are young, We're good, Thank you.

238
00:12:41,695 --> 00:12:41,855
Speaker 2: Hey.

239
00:12:42,695 --> 00:12:47,415
Speaker 5: We're just gonna port wine magnolia hedge that it seems

240
00:12:47,415 --> 00:12:51,055
Speaker 5: still all tips and everything going yellow and all the

241
00:12:51,175 --> 00:12:55,975
Speaker 5: new green shirts are all curling getting plenty of water.

242
00:12:56,295 --> 00:12:59,175
Speaker 5: We're just wondering what what might be. It looks like

243
00:12:59,255 --> 00:13:00,775
Speaker 5: it's almost dying the whole hedge.

244
00:13:02,215 --> 00:13:06,255
Speaker 2: My goodness. That too much water? Is that by your

245
00:13:06,455 --> 00:13:07,735
Speaker 2: sor is said by rainfall?

246
00:13:08,615 --> 00:13:11,215
Speaker 5: And no, we've just been irrogating it. I don't know

247
00:13:11,255 --> 00:13:13,735
Speaker 5: if that's it's got too much water or could that

248
00:13:13,895 --> 00:13:15,215
Speaker 5: be the case, or.

249
00:13:17,655 --> 00:13:22,975
Speaker 2: No, it's both too much. Too much water is really

250
00:13:23,055 --> 00:13:24,935
Speaker 2: not that great for magnolia as they do like it

251
00:13:25,055 --> 00:13:27,215
Speaker 2: well drained. I'm not saying you've got to stave them

252
00:13:27,295 --> 00:13:29,775
Speaker 2: off water, but you know, take it easy with that

253
00:13:29,975 --> 00:13:33,655
Speaker 2: and the other things. Are you telling me you've never

254
00:13:33,735 --> 00:13:35,255
Speaker 2: friend liked it at all or something?

255
00:13:36,295 --> 00:13:37,695
Speaker 4: Once? You what do you do?

256
00:13:38,695 --> 00:13:38,975
Speaker 2: Sorry?

257
00:13:39,055 --> 00:13:41,575
Speaker 5: Sorry I lost you there for a segain, I said,

258
00:13:41,655 --> 00:13:44,175
Speaker 5: I said, do you fertilize it often or not at all?

259
00:13:44,295 --> 00:13:45,015
Speaker 2: Or once a year?

260
00:13:46,215 --> 00:13:46,255
Speaker 1: Not?

261
00:13:46,655 --> 00:13:49,175
Speaker 5: Not at all, not at all at all?

262
00:13:49,335 --> 00:13:51,895
Speaker 2: You see, No, that's my my old question is how

263
00:13:51,935 --> 00:13:55,535
Speaker 2: many breakfast do you have on theverage each year? Do

264
00:13:55,615 --> 00:13:57,775
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So, so here we go.

265
00:13:57,975 --> 00:14:02,215
Speaker 2: So forget forget about the watering at the moment. Washing

266
00:14:02,335 --> 00:14:06,175
Speaker 2: itself is okay if it's dry. That is the only

267
00:14:06,375 --> 00:14:11,735
Speaker 2: reason you water. Number two, regular fertilizer is really important.

268
00:14:12,055 --> 00:14:15,175
Speaker 2: So I would have a shot at getting a general

269
00:14:15,295 --> 00:14:21,015
Speaker 2: fertilizer going something like that Nitrophosca blue, or a liquid fertilizer.

270
00:14:21,095 --> 00:14:23,855
Speaker 2: But the problem with liquid fertilizers you water it at

271
00:14:23,895 --> 00:14:26,335
Speaker 2: the same time, which we weren't gonna do. Remember, so

272
00:14:26,855 --> 00:14:32,135
Speaker 2: get yourself some granular granular fertilizer, general fertilizer, something like

273
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:37,735
Speaker 2: Nitroposca blue. You'll get it in all stores and fall

274
00:14:37,895 --> 00:14:40,455
Speaker 2: to the square meter on the root zone of the plant,

275
00:14:41,055 --> 00:14:43,495
Speaker 2: and the moment that rains, it just goes into the

276
00:14:43,575 --> 00:14:46,375
Speaker 2: root zone and the plant will feed itself that way,

277
00:14:46,695 --> 00:14:49,935
Speaker 2: or it uses the nutrients to do photosynthesis and that

278
00:14:50,175 --> 00:14:52,135
Speaker 2: is when it finds it's healing powership.

279
00:14:52,175 --> 00:14:56,815
Speaker 5: You like, Okay, what's some like putting some new sort

280
00:14:56,815 --> 00:14:59,135
Speaker 5: of like gaden flow on top?

281
00:14:59,415 --> 00:15:02,415
Speaker 2: Helpers are what do you under dead?

282
00:15:02,895 --> 00:15:09,455
Speaker 5: What do you compact and compo? So what's the soil like,

283
00:15:11,015 --> 00:15:15,095
Speaker 5: We've got pretty good soil here. Everything else grows pretty well.

284
00:15:17,935 --> 00:15:20,615
Speaker 2: If you've got pretty good soil, I would not put

285
00:15:20,695 --> 00:15:22,975
Speaker 2: too much new stuff on it at this stage.

286
00:15:23,615 --> 00:15:27,175
Speaker 4: I'd rather you would fertilize it. If you have some melch,

287
00:15:27,255 --> 00:15:28,295
Speaker 4: you just put some melch on.

288
00:15:28,815 --> 00:15:31,775
Speaker 2: But that is really not your problem at the moment.

289
00:15:31,975 --> 00:15:34,775
Speaker 2: You can do that if the spans refurbish themselves and

290
00:15:35,215 --> 00:15:38,495
Speaker 2: get back into nurturing net health. That's why you can

291
00:15:38,575 --> 00:15:41,175
Speaker 2: think about putting some melt on, because melch is always

292
00:15:41,215 --> 00:15:43,935
Speaker 2: good to keep nutrients in the ground and the moisture

293
00:15:43,975 --> 00:15:45,935
Speaker 2: in the ground so you don't have the water too often.

294
00:15:46,975 --> 00:15:50,735
Speaker 5: Okay, Oh, thanks very much, very hard your mother, welcome,

295
00:15:51,175 --> 00:15:51,575
Speaker 5: good luck.

296
00:15:51,655 --> 00:15:52,975
Speaker 2: Honestly, keep your fingers crossed.

297
00:15:53,695 --> 00:15:58,735
Speaker 3: Absolutely again pricked up as soon as you mentioned port

298
00:15:58,775 --> 00:16:00,775
Speaker 3: wine magnolia because we've got one on a place that

299
00:16:00,855 --> 00:16:05,095
Speaker 3: I look after, and I gave it I really short

300
00:16:05,135 --> 00:16:09,015
Speaker 3: back insides the other day. So do you think I

301
00:16:09,055 --> 00:16:11,895
Speaker 3: should feed it after I've pruned it so vigorously.

302
00:16:13,095 --> 00:16:17,295
Speaker 2: A little bit of fertilizers always good, full stoff. If

303
00:16:17,375 --> 00:16:21,455
Speaker 2: you have cut say a third of the flower, the

304
00:16:21,615 --> 00:16:25,015
Speaker 2: foliage off, they need to be the need to be

305
00:16:25,135 --> 00:16:27,895
Speaker 2: refurbished with that in terms of nitrogen and a bit

306
00:16:27,975 --> 00:16:31,375
Speaker 2: of uh posphake and things like that. So yes, it

307
00:16:31,455 --> 00:16:32,375
Speaker 2: will be good to put.

308
00:16:32,255 --> 00:16:35,815
Speaker 3: Some Okay, all right, that's another job. See every time

309
00:16:35,855 --> 00:16:38,135
Speaker 3: I talk to you, I walk out of the stradio

310
00:16:38,295 --> 00:16:40,175
Speaker 3: with this big, long list of jobs to do.

311
00:16:41,495 --> 00:16:45,255
Speaker 2: A big geography, Gareth here about growing grapes. That is

312
00:16:45,295 --> 00:16:46,255
Speaker 2: a big garden here.

313
00:16:46,175 --> 00:16:46,495
Speaker 5: You know that?

314
00:16:49,615 --> 00:16:49,735
Speaker 1: Right?

315
00:16:49,975 --> 00:16:54,615
Speaker 3: A couple of quick texts. Then who's here? We go?

316
00:16:54,935 --> 00:16:59,255
Speaker 3: Why is my daughter's chives and garlic chives filled with aphids?

317
00:17:00,495 --> 00:17:03,695
Speaker 3: My daughter has sprayed them, changed the dirt, sprayed with

318
00:17:03,815 --> 00:17:07,895
Speaker 3: soapy water, no change. They have just about suck them dry.

319
00:17:08,055 --> 00:17:11,175
Speaker 3: She's in Hamilton. It doesn't seem to affect anything. Else

320
00:17:11,215 --> 00:17:14,495
Speaker 3: in the garden, so aphids and the garlic chives.

321
00:17:15,175 --> 00:17:18,095
Speaker 2: I know exactly what this is about. This is always

322
00:17:18,135 --> 00:17:20,775
Speaker 2: the same with these things. First of all, it's not dirt.

323
00:17:21,335 --> 00:17:21,895
Speaker 2: It's soil.

324
00:17:22,095 --> 00:17:26,455
Speaker 3: Soil, yes, number twos not mine, by the way I've learned.

325
00:17:26,495 --> 00:17:28,695
Speaker 2: No, I know it's not. But I've been having a

326
00:17:28,775 --> 00:17:31,535
Speaker 2: go at teachers here too, which is really funny. Anyway,

327
00:17:31,615 --> 00:17:34,135
Speaker 2: so we're talking about the language of gardening and the

328
00:17:34,215 --> 00:17:37,575
Speaker 2: language of respect here as well. Anyway, dirt and so yeah,

329
00:17:37,575 --> 00:17:40,855
Speaker 2: I love you. Secondly, if you've got aports on these,

330
00:17:41,055 --> 00:17:43,775
Speaker 2: on these particular things, and you do what I said

331
00:17:43,815 --> 00:17:45,855
Speaker 2: before to you, you do that the soapy water, all

332
00:17:45,935 --> 00:17:47,735
Speaker 2: you do is you've made them really shiny and clean.

333
00:17:48,695 --> 00:17:52,455
Speaker 2: So meme oil is the material you can use, which

334
00:17:52,535 --> 00:17:56,375
Speaker 2: is an organic It will basically make those aphts. It

335
00:17:56,455 --> 00:17:58,975
Speaker 2: doesn't kill them directly, but it makes them very humpy

336
00:17:59,215 --> 00:18:03,335
Speaker 2: because they stop eating. They literally stop the yes that

337
00:18:03,495 --> 00:18:07,175
Speaker 2: nemo stops them from from consuming these things, causing the troubles,

338
00:18:07,615 --> 00:18:09,975
Speaker 2: and then slowly, because they don't eat anymore, they just

339
00:18:10,095 --> 00:18:12,415
Speaker 2: fall off and die. And it's the way to go

340
00:18:12,615 --> 00:18:14,615
Speaker 2: with it, because and the cool thing is that you

341
00:18:14,695 --> 00:18:17,295
Speaker 2: can still use those chibes when you watch them under

342
00:18:17,335 --> 00:18:19,695
Speaker 2: the tip for yourselves and whatever you've got.

343
00:18:20,135 --> 00:18:23,375
Speaker 3: It's safe, awesome, that's good to know.

344
00:18:24,375 --> 00:18:24,535
Speaker 2: Now.

345
00:18:24,655 --> 00:18:28,455
Speaker 3: Avocado tree with the round variety. There's sixty or seventy

346
00:18:28,575 --> 00:18:32,655
Speaker 3: fruit on the tree, but they're absolutely tasteless. What do

347
00:18:32,775 --> 00:18:34,095
Speaker 3: you suggest from Derek?

348
00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:42,895
Speaker 2: Often with fruits and especially citizens and whatever plums and

349
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:46,135
Speaker 2: bruins and things like that, it's quite often.

350
00:18:45,935 --> 00:18:48,495
Speaker 4: A bit of potage that gives them a much.

351
00:18:48,375 --> 00:18:50,415
Speaker 2: More dense flavor spectrum.

352
00:18:51,615 --> 00:18:54,455
Speaker 4: So just some sulfate of potage around the place, have

353
00:18:54,575 --> 00:18:57,615
Speaker 4: a look, see if that works, and come back to

354
00:18:57,735 --> 00:18:59,895
Speaker 4: us later on to see it much maybe next year.

355
00:18:59,735 --> 00:19:02,495
Speaker 2: Because you have to do it on a basis. Don't

356
00:19:02,495 --> 00:19:03,735
Speaker 2: go over the top, but.

357
00:19:03,855 --> 00:19:05,575
Speaker 4: Make sure you've got some pottage.

358
00:19:05,215 --> 00:19:05,895
Speaker 2: Around the roots.

359
00:19:06,335 --> 00:19:09,895
Speaker 3: In a quick last text, super quick, hostier, hostier getting

360
00:19:09,935 --> 00:19:13,255
Speaker 3: holes on the leaves. I think it could be snails.

361
00:19:13,335 --> 00:19:14,615
Speaker 3: What do you do to stop from the attacking?

362
00:19:16,055 --> 00:19:18,455
Speaker 4: Go out to night with a torch, the bucket, Put him.

363
00:19:18,335 --> 00:19:20,455
Speaker 2: In the bucket, to him over the fence. It's go

00:19:20,615 --> 00:19:23,015
