1 00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,533 Speaker 1: from News Talks that. 3 00:00:11,693 --> 00:00:15,613 Speaker 2: Be Rude Climb passes our man in the garden killed. 4 00:00:19,373 --> 00:00:23,693 Speaker 2: Well you are, you're Europolic. How many languages do you speak? Rude, 5 00:00:23,693 --> 00:00:24,773 Speaker 2: I can imagine a few. 6 00:00:25,773 --> 00:00:28,453 Speaker 3: Yes, quite a few. But that's that's all by accident. 7 00:00:29,493 --> 00:00:31,773 Speaker 3: The the thing actually you you made a really good 8 00:00:31,773 --> 00:00:34,773 Speaker 3: comment about, you know, other countries in the Netherlands we 9 00:00:34,933 --> 00:00:38,333 Speaker 3: needed we spoke Dutch, of course, but it was compulsory 10 00:00:38,373 --> 00:00:42,173 Speaker 3: for us to learn French, German and English. Wow. And 11 00:00:42,253 --> 00:00:44,213 Speaker 3: so you came, you came basically out of school with 12 00:00:44,213 --> 00:00:47,613 Speaker 3: four languages. And and because French was so difficult, you 13 00:00:47,693 --> 00:00:51,933 Speaker 3: had to start in the primary in primary school that French. Yeah, 14 00:00:51,973 --> 00:00:54,253 Speaker 3: we started a year earlier with French. It's good fun. 15 00:00:54,373 --> 00:00:58,013 Speaker 2: So so, so did you find French? I mean, Germans 16 00:00:58,453 --> 00:01:00,693 Speaker 2: is more kind of rigid with its grammar structure, right, 17 00:01:00,813 --> 00:01:04,093 Speaker 2: but yeah, so did you find French more tricky than 18 00:01:04,093 --> 00:01:05,013 Speaker 2: those other languages? 19 00:01:05,813 --> 00:01:07,613 Speaker 3: Yes, it is a little bit because of all the 20 00:01:07,693 --> 00:01:10,133 Speaker 3: genders and stuff like that as well, but that's that's 21 00:01:10,133 --> 00:01:14,213 Speaker 3: of no concern really, because once you've done things like 22 00:01:14,293 --> 00:01:16,573 Speaker 3: French and you go to Italy, on holiday a couple 23 00:01:16,613 --> 00:01:21,013 Speaker 3: of times in the ego to you pick you literally 24 00:01:21,013 --> 00:01:23,213 Speaker 3: picked them up. The only thing that I've totally lost 25 00:01:23,213 --> 00:01:24,093 Speaker 3: this Mongolian. 26 00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:26,373 Speaker 2: Oh yes, no, the same thing happened to me. That's 27 00:01:26,373 --> 00:01:27,333 Speaker 2: the problem with your mogoing. 28 00:01:27,653 --> 00:01:27,853 Speaker 3: Yeah. 29 00:01:28,973 --> 00:01:31,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so lost. It's like I never had it 30 00:01:32,013 --> 00:01:33,453 Speaker 2: in the first place. That's how last. 31 00:01:35,933 --> 00:01:37,333 Speaker 3: Yeah we had job. 32 00:01:37,573 --> 00:01:42,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very good. Well what about learning English? Sorry, 33 00:01:42,053 --> 00:01:44,453 Speaker 2: very quickly, what about learning English? Because that's supposed to 34 00:01:44,453 --> 00:01:45,453 Speaker 2: be quite difficult. 35 00:01:45,133 --> 00:01:48,213 Speaker 3: Right, No, it's not. English for me was quite easy 36 00:01:48,213 --> 00:01:50,853 Speaker 3: because everything on the television was in English. Trend was 37 00:01:50,893 --> 00:01:53,413 Speaker 3: all subtitled, so there was an easy way of learning. Well, 38 00:01:53,453 --> 00:01:57,213 Speaker 3: actually that's a good idea, the subtitling up until yeah, 39 00:01:57,293 --> 00:01:57,653 Speaker 3: there you go. 40 00:01:57,733 --> 00:02:00,493 Speaker 2: Well, I reckon that the TV show Friends has talked 41 00:02:00,533 --> 00:02:05,293 Speaker 2: more people English than any educational assets. You know, like 42 00:02:05,573 --> 00:02:07,413 Speaker 2: so many people are out world of watch Friends and 43 00:02:07,493 --> 00:02:10,013 Speaker 2: just learned. But I always think like little quirky things 44 00:02:10,053 --> 00:02:12,213 Speaker 2: with English. Sorry, we're going on it. This is very 45 00:02:12,293 --> 00:02:14,653 Speaker 2: unlike us. I know, we never never get diverted whatsoever. 46 00:02:15,253 --> 00:02:18,053 Speaker 2: But you know, like it's the classic, it's the big 47 00:02:18,093 --> 00:02:21,613 Speaker 2: read dog, right, so in English we just know it's 48 00:02:21,653 --> 00:02:23,253 Speaker 2: the big read dog. Well why is it not the 49 00:02:23,293 --> 00:02:26,173 Speaker 2: read big dog. There are lots of little quirks in 50 00:02:26,213 --> 00:02:28,693 Speaker 2: English like that, so if I said that read big 51 00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:30,253 Speaker 2: dog over there, you'd say, well, that's a weird thing 52 00:02:30,293 --> 00:02:32,533 Speaker 2: to say. But it's kind of hard to define why 53 00:02:32,573 --> 00:02:36,213 Speaker 2: that's a rule, especially if you're learning and you know, 54 00:02:36,613 --> 00:02:38,133 Speaker 2: English is the second language anyway. 55 00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:41,813 Speaker 3: On the other hand, when you are doing those languages, 56 00:02:41,893 --> 00:02:45,133 Speaker 3: Latin languages, you learn Latin. And that is for gardening 57 00:02:45,253 --> 00:02:46,053 Speaker 3: quite interesting. 58 00:02:46,253 --> 00:02:47,813 Speaker 2: Oh, yes, exactly. 59 00:02:47,853 --> 00:02:51,053 Speaker 3: Well this is the point NPK nitrogen phosphate and potash 60 00:02:51,453 --> 00:02:55,133 Speaker 3: K is carlium. That's the actual word for it, so 61 00:02:55,493 --> 00:02:58,373 Speaker 3: you's it's quite easy to understand that. And the same 62 00:02:58,413 --> 00:03:02,613 Speaker 3: with the names of plants, yes exactly, yeah, and birds 63 00:03:02,613 --> 00:03:05,013 Speaker 3: and everything else. So I was going to have a 64 00:03:05,013 --> 00:03:07,133 Speaker 3: little chat about, you know, seeing it's finding a bit 65 00:03:07,213 --> 00:03:11,093 Speaker 3: nice and warm about fertilizers and people. I think it's 66 00:03:11,093 --> 00:03:13,333 Speaker 3: always good. So that's why I wrote this. Quite a 67 00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:16,533 Speaker 3: lot of stuff that goes on your website about NPK, 68 00:03:16,773 --> 00:03:20,013 Speaker 3: how it all works and what you need for which plants? Right, 69 00:03:20,213 --> 00:03:23,493 Speaker 3: you know that's the one and first of all, and 70 00:03:23,613 --> 00:03:26,893 Speaker 3: it's for nitrogen that means it makes green stuff. Pa 71 00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,933 Speaker 3: is for root development. So that's for you know, root 72 00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:33,453 Speaker 3: crops and ks, potashes for sex basically flowers and fruits. 73 00:03:34,093 --> 00:03:36,293 Speaker 3: There you go. So the more and you have, the 74 00:03:36,293 --> 00:03:38,013 Speaker 3: more you get into green, the more pea you have, 75 00:03:38,093 --> 00:03:40,333 Speaker 3: you get more into roots and plant health, and the 76 00:03:40,413 --> 00:03:44,413 Speaker 3: k the potash is for flowers and fruits. So's it's 77 00:03:44,413 --> 00:03:46,973 Speaker 3: as simple as that. So I gave some examples of 78 00:03:47,133 --> 00:03:49,253 Speaker 3: what you use for lawns, what you use for carrots, 79 00:03:49,253 --> 00:03:52,613 Speaker 3: what you use for tomatoes, et cetera. And then there's 80 00:03:52,693 --> 00:03:55,413 Speaker 3: all these other things. And here comes let in quite nicely. 81 00:03:55,533 --> 00:04:01,173 Speaker 3: Magnesium and sulfur, calcium, copper, iron, zinc, manganese, you name it. 82 00:04:01,373 --> 00:04:04,173 Speaker 3: They're all called trace elements and they eat them as well, 83 00:04:04,573 --> 00:04:06,133 Speaker 3: so you need a little bit of that too. 84 00:04:06,493 --> 00:04:08,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, that is. 85 00:04:08,773 --> 00:04:11,053 Speaker 3: The basic thing. So the rest you can read on 86 00:04:11,093 --> 00:04:11,613 Speaker 3: the website. 87 00:04:11,773 --> 00:04:14,773 Speaker 2: It's well, what you've done is you've gon really useful 88 00:04:14,853 --> 00:04:18,693 Speaker 2: suggestions for potatoes and tomatoes and roses and that kind 89 00:04:18,693 --> 00:04:20,853 Speaker 2: of thing. What about dog pee? 90 00:04:22,053 --> 00:04:25,813 Speaker 3: Dog pee is absolutely full of nitrogen. So if you 91 00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:28,213 Speaker 3: have a dog that sits there and does one huge 92 00:04:28,213 --> 00:04:31,213 Speaker 3: way on the lawn, it becomes yellow. It is too 93 00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:34,213 Speaker 3: much nitrogen. And it becomes literally overdosed. 94 00:04:34,533 --> 00:04:36,533 Speaker 2: That's it. As in the yellow. 95 00:04:37,093 --> 00:04:39,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, the grass does yellow and it starts to become 96 00:04:39,413 --> 00:04:41,013 Speaker 3: bear and all that sort of stuff, and you need 97 00:04:41,053 --> 00:04:44,493 Speaker 3: to sometimes resow it. But here comes the thing. It's 98 00:04:44,693 --> 00:04:47,413 Speaker 3: mostly the female dogs that do that damage. 99 00:04:47,573 --> 00:04:50,213 Speaker 2: Oh why is that? 100 00:04:50,333 --> 00:04:53,653 Speaker 3: Do you ask? Well, if you have a male dog, 101 00:04:54,133 --> 00:04:57,493 Speaker 3: it goes, tiny little bit cocks its leg, tiny little 102 00:04:57,493 --> 00:05:00,213 Speaker 3: bit here, tiny little bit there, tiny little bit there. 103 00:05:00,453 --> 00:05:03,453 Speaker 3: It basically makes its microsoft its territory. 104 00:05:04,053 --> 00:05:06,133 Speaker 2: And female dogs don't make their territory. 105 00:05:06,493 --> 00:05:09,853 Speaker 3: No, they go like, I've got to go now. 106 00:05:11,173 --> 00:05:14,573 Speaker 2: I had no idea about that. I okay. 107 00:05:14,733 --> 00:05:17,573 Speaker 3: So so people, if you've got these patches on the loan, 108 00:05:17,613 --> 00:05:20,093 Speaker 3: you've got a female dog, get a different dog. 109 00:05:20,493 --> 00:05:23,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I had This is great.
