Was sits 63 00:03:01,815 --> 00:03:02,735 Speaker 5: as fertilizer. 64 00:03:03,215 --> 00:03:06,055 Speaker 3: Yep, that's good. And you've done that. You've done that 65 00:03:06,055 --> 00:03:06,655 Speaker 3: in spring? 66 00:03:07,775 --> 00:03:09,175 Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, okay? 67 00:03:10,495 --> 00:03:12,055 Speaker 3: And what soil type? 68 00:03:12,895 --> 00:03:15,775 Speaker 5: Oh we're we're in rollers and so it's pretty bony. 69 00:03:16,455 --> 00:03:22,695 Speaker 3: Oh yes, rollers in his favorite Rollerston kills spades sometimes, doesn't. 70 00:03:22,415 --> 00:03:23,655 Speaker 7: It it does? 71 00:03:25,855 --> 00:03:29,055 Speaker 3: I know, I know, all right, okay, so that could 72 00:03:29,135 --> 00:03:30,855 Speaker 3: be you know what this could be. It could be 73 00:03:30,895 --> 00:03:34,495 Speaker 3: a soil problem and it would be nice to lift 74 00:03:36,095 --> 00:03:38,615 Speaker 3: the trow old. Is the tree, by the way, a. 75 00:03:38,575 --> 00:03:41,495 Speaker 5: About three three or four year old? Three three year old? 76 00:03:41,815 --> 00:03:42,575 Speaker 8: It's not that big? 77 00:03:43,055 --> 00:03:45,895 Speaker 3: No, no, okay? Can you imagine making let's say a 78 00:03:45,935 --> 00:03:49,015 Speaker 3: brick circle around the root zone and fill and filling 79 00:03:49,055 --> 00:03:52,095 Speaker 3: that up with maybe two or three or four inches 80 00:03:52,175 --> 00:03:57,175 Speaker 3: off compost that will be slowly merged into your soil, 81 00:03:57,255 --> 00:04:00,335 Speaker 3: so you get a better soil type. That will that 82 00:04:00,415 --> 00:04:04,055 Speaker 3: will that will allow your roots to go a lot 83 00:04:04,815 --> 00:04:08,575 Speaker 3: cleverer and health here if you like. Does that make sense? 84 00:04:09,535 --> 00:04:13,215 Speaker 5: So you say, if I dig a channel around around 85 00:04:13,255 --> 00:04:18,415 Speaker 5: the remember the well outside the plant, and then put 86 00:04:18,535 --> 00:04:19,415 Speaker 5: fresh store. 87 00:04:19,295 --> 00:04:22,335 Speaker 3: There, Well, it's not so much digging around. It is 88 00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:25,735 Speaker 3: if you differences a whole lot of old bricks and 89 00:04:25,775 --> 00:04:28,455 Speaker 3: you can put those in a circle around the root zone, 90 00:04:28,615 --> 00:04:31,175 Speaker 3: which is almost to the end of the edge of 91 00:04:31,255 --> 00:04:33,575 Speaker 3: the tree if you look down, you know what I mean. 92 00:04:33,935 --> 00:04:36,895 Speaker 3: So it's a nice, nice large thing. And then because 93 00:04:36,895 --> 00:04:38,895 Speaker 3: you've got a brick there which is about three inches, 94 00:04:38,975 --> 00:04:41,295 Speaker 3: say you fill it up with three inches of good 95 00:04:41,335 --> 00:04:44,735 Speaker 3: compost that every time you water it, some of the 96 00:04:44,855 --> 00:04:47,895 Speaker 3: organic material goes into the soil and the soil becomes 97 00:04:48,055 --> 00:04:50,855 Speaker 3: a lot better. That's number one. At the same time, 98 00:04:51,375 --> 00:04:54,895 Speaker 3: from now on, give it a little handful of potash 99 00:04:55,135 --> 00:04:59,655 Speaker 3: sulfate of potash, and that may actually help those fruits 100 00:05:00,095 --> 00:05:04,135 Speaker 3: becoming mature edible and larger. 101 00:05:05,335 --> 00:05:10,295 Speaker 5: Ah is, Oh no, no, We've always had a lot 102 00:05:10,295 --> 00:05:12,615 Speaker 5: of luck with lemon trees, but since been shifted up 103 00:05:12,655 --> 00:05:15,895 Speaker 5: here things soil, that everything sort of changes. 104 00:05:17,495 --> 00:05:19,975 Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. And something else, Anthony, this is a 105 00:05:20,015 --> 00:05:23,135 Speaker 3: really cool trick. If you've got a maya lemon, for instance, 106 00:05:23,975 --> 00:05:26,655 Speaker 3: do you have a second one? 107 00:05:26,975 --> 00:05:27,655 Speaker 7: No? 108 00:05:27,655 --> 00:05:30,735 Speaker 3: No, okay, I think it might be an idea to plant. 109 00:05:30,775 --> 00:05:33,255 Speaker 3: If you've got the room a plant a second lemon 110 00:05:33,295 --> 00:05:36,655 Speaker 3: tree next door to it or almost adjacent to it. 111 00:05:36,975 --> 00:05:39,855 Speaker 3: And the reason I'm saying that is that lemon trees 112 00:05:40,175 --> 00:05:45,095 Speaker 3: not always fruit every year. They fruit every other year. 113 00:05:45,255 --> 00:05:48,375 Speaker 3: So if you've got two, your chances of having one 114 00:05:48,455 --> 00:05:51,015 Speaker 3: working this year and the other one next year, and 115 00:05:51,055 --> 00:05:55,095 Speaker 3: you get a good constant supply of lemons for somebody 116 00:05:55,095 --> 00:05:57,495 Speaker 3: you know who drinks comparrii and things like that, that's 117 00:05:57,575 --> 00:05:58,295 Speaker 3: quite important. 118 00:05:59,575 --> 00:06:02,015 Speaker 5: Good good, good thinking, good thinking. 119 00:06:02,375 --> 00:06:02,895 Speaker 3: Just a thought. 120 00:06:03,295 --> 00:06:05,895 Speaker 2: Nice to talk to you, Anthony, thanks for calling all 121 00:06:06,055 --> 00:06:08,895 Speaker 2: very to take care and Colin are very good morning 122 00:06:08,895 --> 00:06:09,215 Speaker 2: to you. 123 00:06:10,335 --> 00:06:13,255 Speaker 6: Yay, good morning out road. We've got to con off 124 00:06:13,255 --> 00:06:16,575 Speaker 6: a tree that hyper wasps have taken a liking tea 125 00:06:17,175 --> 00:06:19,895 Speaker 6: yeap buzzing around the outside of it. Any Ways, we're 126 00:06:19,895 --> 00:06:21,375 Speaker 6: getting rolled easy. 127 00:06:22,055 --> 00:06:26,295 Speaker 3: You wait until the comet has gone down, after the 128 00:06:26,295 --> 00:06:28,495 Speaker 3: sun has gone down, you know the comet that we 129 00:06:28,535 --> 00:06:32,735 Speaker 3: see at the moment, and the two or three what 130 00:06:32,775 --> 00:06:34,735 Speaker 3: do you call the planets next to each other, So 131 00:06:34,855 --> 00:06:37,895 Speaker 3: say about eleven o'clock, when everything is really dark. You 132 00:06:37,975 --> 00:06:41,895 Speaker 3: get an accomplice with you who has a torch, and 133 00:06:41,935 --> 00:06:44,695 Speaker 3: you have a pair of scissors or secretaris. You go 134 00:06:44,815 --> 00:06:49,175 Speaker 3: to that particular nest. You know where it is. You 135 00:06:49,255 --> 00:06:51,815 Speaker 3: know exactly where it is, and the person that holds 136 00:06:51,855 --> 00:06:54,575 Speaker 3: the torch lights that towards that nest so you can 137 00:06:54,575 --> 00:06:57,975 Speaker 3: see where you're going. You snip the nest off, drop 138 00:06:58,015 --> 00:07:01,335 Speaker 3: it in a plastic bag that you could have underneath 139 00:07:01,375 --> 00:07:04,775 Speaker 3: it if you like, straight away, tie up the plastic 140 00:07:04,855 --> 00:07:08,175 Speaker 3: bag with the wasps who are now waking up but 141 00:07:08,335 --> 00:07:11,175 Speaker 3: are caught in the plastic bag. And you put that 142 00:07:11,255 --> 00:07:15,295 Speaker 3: plastic bag with these zooming little buggers into your freezer, 143 00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:19,935 Speaker 3: and tomorrow morning you'll have a completely dead nest with 144 00:07:20,135 --> 00:07:23,295 Speaker 3: no more life creatures, and they've been gone. And it's 145 00:07:23,335 --> 00:07:26,455 Speaker 3: the quickest, safest and easiest way to go about it. 146 00:07:27,855 --> 00:07:30,695 Speaker 6: Yeah, I wasn't sure they had actually had a nest 147 00:07:30,695 --> 00:07:33,935 Speaker 6: of the stage attractive the outside of it. 148 00:07:35,335 --> 00:07:38,015 Speaker 3: Better, you better go and have a gentle look during 149 00:07:38,095 --> 00:07:40,975 Speaker 3: daytime first to see if you can find that nest. 150 00:07:41,375 --> 00:07:43,935 Speaker 3: You know, it hangs upside down, you know what I mean? 151 00:07:43,975 --> 00:07:46,735 Speaker 3: You know what it looks like, the shape of it.

But it's 166 00:08:25,535 --> 00:08:28,135 Speaker 2: the seven planets are lining, isn't it at the moment? Yes, 167 00:08:28,415 --> 00:08:30,015 Speaker 2: all visible in the night sky. 168 00:08:30,215 --> 00:08:32,855 Speaker 3: And that well not always by either.

The outside edges of the leaves are getting 183 00:09:17,735 --> 00:09:21,575 Speaker 8: as so there's sunburns. 184 00:09:22,935 --> 00:09:25,295 Speaker 3: Those are those are the outsides of the leaves. So 185 00:09:25,415 --> 00:09:27,295 Speaker 3: the edges of the leaves. 186 00:09:27,015 --> 00:09:33,615 Speaker 8: They're just the edges, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's very prolific. Uh, 187 00:09:34,015 --> 00:09:37,015 Speaker 8: nothing wrong with the louver of itself. But I've never 188 00:09:37,055 --> 00:09:38,015 Speaker 8: seen this before. 189 00:09:39,015 --> 00:09:41,215 Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, I guess. 190 00:09:40,975 --> 00:09:48,335 Speaker 8: Watered every day is not too much or every evening anyway. Yeah, 191 00:09:48,375 --> 00:09:50,935 Speaker 8: but as I say, it almost looks as though it's 192 00:09:50,975 --> 00:09:51,815 Speaker 8: getting sunburned. 193 00:09:52,535 --> 00:09:54,695 Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly what it is, and that is quite 194 00:09:54,695 --> 00:09:57,575 Speaker 3: often when it's not it hasn't got enough nitrogen in 195 00:09:57,615 --> 00:10:03,095 Speaker 3: it's in its fertilizer. H So if you get let's 196 00:10:03,095 --> 00:10:06,055 Speaker 3: say a let's if you of course it's got a 197 00:10:06,295 --> 00:10:10,815 Speaker 3: This is extreme. Nitrogen is the green stuff of plants. 198 00:10:10,855 --> 00:10:13,295 Speaker 3: That makes the green stuff of plants. And when that 199 00:10:13,535 --> 00:10:15,375 Speaker 3: and when that does not in short, when that's in 200 00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:18,175 Speaker 3: short supply, it starts to look frayed at the edges 201 00:10:18,215 --> 00:10:21,855 Speaker 3: and looks like indeed sunburnt. But nitrogen is also the 202 00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:26,695 Speaker 3: main composition of something called lawn fertilizer. If you've got 203 00:10:26,695 --> 00:10:30,135 Speaker 3: some old lawn fertilizer lying around, dribble some of it 204 00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:32,095 Speaker 3: or water and well in around the root zone of 205 00:10:32,175 --> 00:10:34,975 Speaker 3: that plant, and you'll find that the next leaves will 206 00:10:35,215 --> 00:10:37,135 Speaker 3: the next leaves that will come up will not be 207 00:10:37,455 --> 00:10:38,655 Speaker 3: looking so strange. 208 00:10:39,135 --> 00:10:40,935 Speaker 8: Ah, lovely, thank you. 209 00:10:42,015 --> 00:10:45,055 Speaker 3: And you can you can use you can us, of course, 210 00:10:45,055 --> 00:10:48,615 Speaker 3: the stalks of those leaves when you harvest them.

A very successful and informative year last year, 276 00:14:15,495 --> 00:14:18,375 Speaker 9: and I hope and I'm quite sure that this year 277 00:14:18,415 --> 00:14:22,975 Speaker 9: is going to be the same. Now, Rude, Why, as 278 00:14:22,975 --> 00:14:26,495 Speaker 9: they've never done it before, are Cararou's still visiting Mala 279 00:14:26,535 --> 00:14:28,055 Speaker 9: Burnham Tree? 280 00:14:28,735 --> 00:14:31,695 Speaker 3: Ah? Because they know that that tree quite often has 281 00:14:31,775 --> 00:14:32,615 Speaker 3: wonderful seeds? 282 00:14:32,695 --> 00:14:32,895 Speaker 7: Right? 283 00:14:33,975 --> 00:14:36,455 Speaker 3: Well, yes, are they still there? 284 00:14:37,775 --> 00:14:41,735 Speaker 9: They're still coming, and they've never done that before. They 285 00:14:41,815 --> 00:14:45,735 Speaker 9: arrive about the first week in September, they have their babies, 286 00:14:46,815 --> 00:14:49,775 Speaker 9: and then mom and dad take a rest and do 287 00:14:49,895 --> 00:14:53,575 Speaker 9: their babysiting duties and fly over, and then about all 288 00:14:53,855 --> 00:14:59,015 Speaker 9: through end of September October they go away and do 289 00:14:59,135 --> 00:15:03,215 Speaker 9: their own thing. But this year they've just been continually coming. 290 00:15:05,055 --> 00:15:08,095 Speaker 3: Well, look, might it might be as simple as there 291 00:15:08,175 --> 00:15:10,655 Speaker 3: might be still seeds around, There might be new buds 292 00:15:10,695 --> 00:15:14,735 Speaker 3: around which they like to eat, or even young leaves 293 00:15:14,735 --> 00:15:17,855 Speaker 3: that I keep going, and that is exactly why they're there. 294 00:15:19,735 --> 00:15:22,335 Speaker 9: Well, it's quite fascinating. They're beautiful creatures. 295 00:15:22,735 --> 00:15:25,175 Speaker 3: I know, I know, and you can hear them fly. 296 00:15:25,375 --> 00:15:26,135 Speaker 3: Isn't that lovely? 297 00:15:26,815 --> 00:15:32,895 Speaker 9: That gosh, rush of their wings. It's just magic. Now 298 00:15:33,055 --> 00:15:37,095 Speaker 9: bumblebees are with bumblebees going up into the fox clubs 299 00:15:37,575 --> 00:15:39,855 Speaker 9: and they come out with a disgruntled look on their 300 00:15:39,895 --> 00:15:43,535 Speaker 9: face and fly away. Obviously there's no pollen there. My 301 00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:47,535 Speaker 9: question is, and it's probably stupid. Does the pollen reform 302 00:15:47,575 --> 00:15:50,215 Speaker 9: again or once it's been collected, that's it. 303 00:15:51,735 --> 00:15:53,415 Speaker 3: I think that's. 304 00:15:54,735 --> 00:15:54,815 Speaker 1: No. 305 00:15:55,095 --> 00:15:57,975 Speaker 3: That no, Actually is it the pollen or is it 306 00:15:58,095 --> 00:15:59,615 Speaker 3: the nectar there after? 307 00:16:00,535 --> 00:16:04,775 Speaker 9: Then I don't know. But they come in and go 308 00:16:04,855 --> 00:16:06,015 Speaker 9: in and come out again. 309 00:16:07,055 --> 00:16:10,895 Speaker 3: According to the rule of pollination, those aunts have literally 310 00:16:11,015 --> 00:16:13,855 Speaker 3: learned to work with insects and say, if we give 311 00:16:13,895 --> 00:16:17,775 Speaker 3: them the best nectar to eat, they will come back 312 00:16:17,855 --> 00:16:20,975 Speaker 3: to find more and more, and the plant keep on producing. 313 00:16:21,015 --> 00:16:24,855 Speaker 3: That that's why they come back. That the pollen is 314 00:16:24,935 --> 00:16:28,535 Speaker 3: actually a trek by the plant to get those bumblebees 315 00:16:28,575 --> 00:16:31,335 Speaker 3: to go biz and they make that buzzing noise and 316 00:16:31,375 --> 00:16:34,095 Speaker 3: they get the pollen on their body as well the 317 00:16:34,215 --> 00:16:37,375 Speaker 3: body hair, but they also drop they also drop the 318 00:16:37,415 --> 00:16:40,415 Speaker 3: pollen on the flower on which they are So it's 319 00:16:40,455 --> 00:16:43,735 Speaker 3: actually a really good trick of the plant to get 320 00:16:43,775 --> 00:16:46,655 Speaker 3: the bumblebees there. But the most important thing they have 321 00:16:46,735 --> 00:16:51,535 Speaker 3: to have is nectar, the sweet nectar that attracts those bumblebees. 322 00:16:51,855 --> 00:16:54,415 Speaker 3: And for that reason, the nectar will always be in 323 00:16:54,495 --> 00:16:58,935 Speaker 3: good condition, newly made fresh. And they come back. 324 00:17:00,575 --> 00:17:04,015 Speaker 9: Oh that's fascinating. I love watching them. 325 00:17:04,535 --> 00:17:05,615 Speaker 3: It's cool, isn't it. 326 00:17:06,335 --> 00:17:08,775 Speaker 9: Oh it's just as I stand there for ages watching 327 00:17:08,815 --> 00:17:11,335 Speaker 9: them fly in and out of the fox clubs. They're 328 00:17:11,335 --> 00:17:13,895 Speaker 9: real time wasters, but they're delightful to watch. 329 00:17:14,215 --> 00:17:17,135 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is. And it is their movement that 330 00:17:17,335 --> 00:17:21,455 Speaker 3: gets the pollination going, get dislodges the pollen and traps 331 00:17:21,455 --> 00:17:22,775 Speaker 3: it into the flower. There you go. 332 00:17:23,455 --> 00:17:26,215 Speaker 9: I see them with little creamy sacks on their bottoms. 333 00:17:26,535 --> 00:17:29,095 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's that's just that's the that's just a 334 00:17:29,095 --> 00:17:31,055 Speaker 3: little peck they have on the what do you call 335 00:17:31,095 --> 00:17:32,095 Speaker 3: that a roof rack? 336 00:17:34,095 --> 00:17:37,615 Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, that's lovely. 337 00:17:38,495 --> 00:17:44,375 Speaker 2: Lovely talking and Norris, good morning. 338 00:17:44,215 --> 00:17:45,455 Speaker 3: Morning, good morning. 339 00:17:45,495 --> 00:17:50,335 Speaker 4: How are you good?

I've got to get rid of the weeds. 348 00:18:12,495 --> 00:18:15,175 Speaker 3: I'm going to do a complete spray of weeds whatever 349 00:18:15,215 --> 00:18:17,375 Speaker 3: I can get, and then I'm going to start again, 350 00:18:18,255 --> 00:18:21,135 Speaker 3: and I start in autumn time. So I I see 351 00:18:21,135 --> 00:18:23,015 Speaker 3: it showed them in autumn, so a couple of months 352 00:18:23,015 --> 00:18:25,495 Speaker 3: from now, which means now is your time and your 353 00:18:25,575 --> 00:18:29,015 Speaker 3: question is really timely to actually start getting rid of 354 00:18:29,015 --> 00:18:32,255 Speaker 3: those weeds, pulling them out by hand or murdering them 355 00:18:32,255 --> 00:18:34,935 Speaker 3: with pesticides, you know, with weed killers, and then you 356 00:18:34,975 --> 00:18:38,175 Speaker 3: will sew them in a couple of months time in 357 00:18:38,295 --> 00:18:40,735 Speaker 3: autumn when it's the best time to do that, and 358 00:18:40,775 --> 00:18:42,255 Speaker 3: you'll be fine for the next three years. 359 00:18:42,295 --> 00:18:45,695 Speaker 4: Bingo, it's looking pretty good. It looked really good last year. 360 00:18:45,695 --> 00:18:48,215 Speaker 4: But as I say that, that's got any lions and 361 00:18:48,815 --> 00:18:52,455 Speaker 4: they take over them. 362 00:18:51,415 --> 00:18:52,015 Speaker 3: They take over. 363 00:18:54,575 --> 00:18:57,815 Speaker 2: Appreciate Hey, just on that route. So in terms of 364 00:18:57,815 --> 00:19:01,015 Speaker 2: the wildflower middle, because you're right, it looks beautiful when 365 00:19:01,015 --> 00:19:03,535 Speaker 2: you put it in, but then over time the weeds 366 00:19:03,535 --> 00:19:06,055 Speaker 2: come back, and so rather than be selective, you just 367 00:19:06,415 --> 00:19:09,375 Speaker 2: and take a kind of nuclear approach, knock the whole 368 00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:12,095 Speaker 2: thing back and then replant and let the whole thing. 369 00:19:12,895 --> 00:19:18,335 Speaker 3: You've got to get absolutely hmmm right.

I've got a quick question 380 00:19:46,815 --> 00:19:47,055 Speaker 7: for you. 381 00:19:47,175 --> 00:19:47,295 Speaker 3: Now. 382 00:19:47,335 --> 00:19:51,495 Speaker 7: I've got raised gardens and I've lived in Wellington and 383 00:19:51,535 --> 00:19:54,495 Speaker 7: i've been guarding a few years. Good soil made mine good. 384 00:19:55,055 --> 00:19:59,055 Speaker 7: But this year I planted only six tomatoes. I normally 385 00:19:59,055 --> 00:20:03,175 Speaker 7: plant about nine six tomatoes and they all just fell over. 386 00:20:03,215 --> 00:20:04,735 Speaker 7: They've got about two feet high and a whole lot 387 00:20:04,775 --> 00:20:08,055 Speaker 7: sell over together. So I went back to the place 388 00:20:08,095 --> 00:20:10,775 Speaker 7: I brought them from and told them, and they said, okay, 389 00:20:10,815 --> 00:20:13,655 Speaker 7: we'll replace them for you. So they gave me six more, 390 00:20:13,655 --> 00:20:15,375 Speaker 7: which is very good. And they were all probably about 391 00:20:15,375 --> 00:20:19,135 Speaker 7: two feet higher. Then I very cautiously transplanted those and 392 00:20:19,255 --> 00:20:22,775 Speaker 7: those have fallen over as well. Now I also planted 393 00:20:22,815 --> 00:20:26,135 Speaker 7: in that garden across letters and other letters and bits 394 00:20:26,175 --> 00:20:28,455 Speaker 7: and pieces and half of the other letters that fought 395 00:20:28,495 --> 00:20:32,095 Speaker 7: it over as well. Now I rotate the tomatoes every year, 396 00:20:32,375 --> 00:20:36,615 Speaker 7: and I've been using a lot of wood chip for 397 00:20:36,655 --> 00:20:39,135 Speaker 7: about three years. I've put woodchip on a brilliant for 398 00:20:39,175 --> 00:20:42,775 Speaker 7: obtaining water, brilliant for even the weeds down. But my goodness, 399 00:20:43,735 --> 00:20:46,655 Speaker 7: it's come the woodship I pulled off because I thought 400 00:20:46,695 --> 00:20:49,775 Speaker 7: they might have been the trouble. I'm now infestooned with 401 00:20:50,815 --> 00:20:55,015 Speaker 7: singing metal and weeds in there. Yeah, I didn't know, 402 00:20:55,055 --> 00:20:55,655 Speaker 7: what did do? 403 00:20:56,695 --> 00:20:58,695 Speaker 3: I think you need to write a book about this, 404 00:20:58,975 --> 00:21:01,295 Speaker 3: to be quite honest, because you've got all the troubles 405 00:21:01,375 --> 00:21:05,135 Speaker 3: in you've gotten on one talk question.
