21
00:00:56,295 --> 00:00:58,575
Speaker 3: just want to say for those people in the Techapo region.

22
00:00:59,215 --> 00:01:02,455
Speaker 3: We're working there on the Manahuna project, which I've talked

23
00:01:02,455 --> 00:01:05,055
Speaker 3: about before, and it is that that wonderful stuff that

24
00:01:05,455 --> 00:01:07,735
Speaker 3: I do with the kids and the bumblebees and all

25
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,135
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. And we've decided to go and

26
00:01:10,175 --> 00:01:13,255

00:01:41,295 --> 00:01:45,935
Speaker 3: where it is. Otherwise everything is going to be honky dory.

38
00:01:46,135 --> 00:01:51,215
Speaker 2: Awesome, awesome. Right, let's get amongst the callers. Andy, are

39
00:01:51,455 --> 00:01:52,535
Speaker 2: very good morning to you.

40
00:01:53,455 --> 00:01:54,895
Speaker 4: Yeah, good morning on Tate.

41
00:01:54,975 --> 00:01:56,535
Speaker 2: How are you good things?

42
00:01:57,935 --> 00:02:02,735
Speaker 4: Hey, I've got an issue for rude. My hothouse is

43
00:02:02,775 --> 00:02:07,015
Speaker 4: infested with whitefly and looks like we're reading them and

44
00:02:07,015 --> 00:02:09,695
Speaker 4: they're coming around and attacking the rest of the garden

45
00:02:09,735 --> 00:02:10,455
Speaker 4: as well.

46
00:02:10,975 --> 00:02:13,095
Speaker 3: They might do. Yes, where are you Are you in

47
00:02:13,135 --> 00:02:14,215
Speaker 3: the North of New Zealand?

48
00:02:14,975 --> 00:02:17,455
Speaker 4: Yeah, South Taranaki, Yeah.

49
00:02:17,255 --> 00:02:19,735
Speaker 3: There you are. As a matter of fact, I have

50
00:02:19,895 --> 00:02:24,135
Speaker 3: literally just sprayed the whitefly in my tunnel house. So

51
00:02:24,215 --> 00:02:27,255
Speaker 3: I had exactly the same thing, and Julie in her

52
00:02:27,295 --> 00:02:31,375
Speaker 3: glasshouse the same with Frenchy Parni. So we're talking about

53
00:02:31,535 --> 00:02:36,135
Speaker 3: a creature that loves the warmth. It's it's as you know,

54
00:02:36,175 --> 00:02:39,815
Speaker 3: white flies are very small but quite dense sort of creature.

55
00:02:39,815 --> 00:02:43,215
Speaker 3: If they're in large numbers, and they quite often sit

56
00:02:43,295 --> 00:02:46,495
Speaker 3: on the underside of leaves. They go to beans, they

57
00:02:46,535 --> 00:02:49,615
Speaker 3: go to tomatoes, they go to all sorts of ornamentals,

58
00:02:50,015 --> 00:02:54,175
Speaker 3: and they breed like there is no tomorrow. You've noticed that.

59
00:02:54,295 --> 00:02:58,575
Speaker 4: I'm sure absolutely. It's thick with them in there. And

60
00:02:59,175 --> 00:03:02,095
Speaker 4: I have sprayed. I've used some mad brick and then

61
00:03:02,175 --> 00:03:04,655
Speaker 4: I sort of got some nature's way. But I don't

62
00:03:04,735 --> 00:03:07,375
Speaker 4: like to spray too much, but I might have to

63
00:03:07,455 --> 00:03:08,575
Speaker 4: do something drastic.

64
00:03:08,695 --> 00:03:11,735
Speaker 3: But the slave you certainly do. And here comes the

65
00:03:11,815 --> 00:03:16,655
Speaker 3: two main items that I would use with these things.

66
00:03:16,655 --> 00:03:20,375
Speaker 3: If you have edible crops in your place, you don't

67
00:03:20,415 --> 00:03:23,095
Speaker 3: want to spray anything that is poisonous to us or

68
00:03:23,175 --> 00:03:27,295
Speaker 3: not good for us. So nim oil will do that.

69
00:03:29,335 --> 00:03:34,095
Speaker 3: Name oil n em Yeah, nim oil. So if you

70
00:03:34,135 --> 00:03:37,255
Speaker 3: do that, let's say every five or six days on

71
00:03:37,295 --> 00:03:39,895
Speaker 3: the underside and the top side of the leaves, and

72
00:03:39,935 --> 00:03:41,615
Speaker 3: you need to do that at least three times in

73
00:03:41,655 --> 00:03:45,375
Speaker 3: a row. You will get them under control. That's number one.

74
00:03:45,935 --> 00:03:50,535
Speaker 3: But if you've got no vegetable vegetables or edibles in there,

75
00:03:51,135 --> 00:03:56,335
Speaker 3: you can use grow ventive with the g grow ventive,

76
00:03:57,015 --> 00:04:00,535
Speaker 3: which is something that I wouldn't use on my tomatoes

77
00:04:00,575 --> 00:04:02,215
Speaker 3: at all, but I could use it on all the

78
00:04:02,335 --> 00:04:04,735
Speaker 3: ornamentals and that works even quicker.

79
00:04:06,495 --> 00:04:09,575
Speaker 4: It's mainly tomatoes and a few other eatables in there,

80
00:04:09,655 --> 00:04:11,815
Speaker 4: so sounds pretty good.

81
00:04:12,255 --> 00:04:14,255
Speaker 3: You're going to do that, and don't forget do it.

82
00:04:14,495 --> 00:04:16,135
Speaker 3: You have to do it at least three or four

83
00:04:16,175 --> 00:04:19,255
Speaker 3: times five six, say five days apart. And I'll tell

84
00:04:19,295 --> 00:04:21,295
Speaker 3: you why it is because you'll have to remember that

85
00:04:21,335 --> 00:04:25,095
Speaker 3: when they lay eggs, the eggs do not move, they're

86
00:04:25,135 --> 00:04:29,375
Speaker 3: not infected, and they're not affected by kneem oil. So

87
00:04:29,455 --> 00:04:31,975
Speaker 3: it is after they hatched from the eggs that they

88
00:04:32,095 --> 00:04:36,535
Speaker 3: become if you like able to be sprayed with kneem oil,

89
00:04:36,775 --> 00:04:39,175
Speaker 3: that's why you do it in a series of four

90
00:04:39,255 --> 00:04:41,055
Speaker 3: or three or four or five times. If you like

91
00:04:42,375 --> 00:04:44,815
Speaker 3: to mop up the next ones that come out of

92
00:04:44,855 --> 00:04:45,335
Speaker 3: the eggs.

93
00:04:46,215 --> 00:04:50,735
Speaker 4: Yeah, they seem they seem to breed very perfectly. Is

94
00:04:50,775 --> 00:04:53,015
Speaker 4: it such a thing as nine granules I've heard something

95
00:04:53,055 --> 00:04:54,695
Speaker 4: about that. Does that help or is it just a

96
00:04:54,735 --> 00:04:55,775
Speaker 4: spray it?

97
00:04:56,055 --> 00:04:58,575
Speaker 3: I don't think it would help that much. What I

98
00:04:58,615 --> 00:05:02,775
Speaker 3: would do is I would spray the liquid on the leaves. Basically,

99
00:05:02,895 --> 00:05:04,655
Speaker 3: it will as soon as they touched it, or as

100
00:05:04,655 --> 00:05:07,415
Speaker 3: soon as they're hit on the underside of the leaves

101
00:05:07,455 --> 00:05:09,455
Speaker 3: and on the top side of the leaves. That is

102
00:05:09,495 --> 00:05:12,855
Speaker 3: the end of them. Honestly, it is that the granules

103
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:16,055
Speaker 3: is a different gig. Again, I would I wouldn't use that.

104
00:05:17,615 --> 00:05:20,255
Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much. I'll be very pleased to

105
00:05:20,455 --> 00:05:23,255
Speaker 4: go into my hothouse and not be covered with these.

106
00:05:23,175 --> 00:05:29,615
Speaker 3: Little you don't you just about one one flew in

107
00:05:29,615 --> 00:05:30,655
Speaker 3: my ear the other day.

108
00:05:30,735 --> 00:05:36,455
Speaker 2: So thanks all this, you take care in A very

109
00:05:36,495 --> 00:05:37,615
Speaker 2: good morning to you, Cedric.

110
00:05:39,055 --> 00:05:39,615
Speaker 5: Good morning.

111
00:05:39,655 --> 00:05:43,175
Speaker 3: Here you going everyone, We're going well things. You know

112
00:05:43,255 --> 00:05:45,815
Speaker 3: what I said this year, I've I've had so many

113
00:05:45,895 --> 00:05:49,255
Speaker 3: to art those it was ridiculous.

114
00:05:49,335 --> 00:05:50,135
Speaker 6: So aby.

115
00:05:51,455 --> 00:05:55,175
Speaker 5: I what you have to do is water them, plenty

116
00:05:55,215 --> 00:05:58,695
Speaker 5: of water and beans too. I watered them in the

117
00:05:58,735 --> 00:06:01,295
Speaker 5: morning and I water the night. I get no windsakes

118
00:06:01,295 --> 00:06:06,535
Speaker 5: from nothing on mine. I've got three rows, but a

119
00:06:06,655 --> 00:06:11,935
Speaker 5: dwarf beans. And the beans are ah. I'm picking them

120
00:06:12,015 --> 00:06:16,775
Speaker 5: all the time, and I really water them well twice

121
00:06:16,775 --> 00:06:21,095
Speaker 5: a day. And the tomatoes, I got tomatoes by the tone.

122
00:06:22,735 --> 00:06:27,575
Speaker 5: I've got all sorts. You got Italian tomatoes.

123
00:06:28,375 --> 00:06:31,935
Speaker 3: I have not this year. I've had them in the past.

124
00:06:32,975 --> 00:06:36,975
Speaker 3: You know what you have because I've seen them.

125
00:06:37,455 --> 00:06:40,255
Speaker 5: I've never seen them in the shops. My boy a

126
00:06:40,295 --> 00:06:45,695
Speaker 5: few years ago, his mate was in Italy and brought

127
00:06:45,735 --> 00:06:50,375
Speaker 5: back seeds, and I grow them in that tasty. All

128
00:06:50,495 --> 00:06:55,615
Speaker 5: my tomatoes are tasty. When you cut a tomato, the

129
00:06:55,695 --> 00:06:59,895
Speaker 5: skin peels back. I had a feeder. That's what I

130
00:06:59,935 --> 00:07:03,775
Speaker 5: had for breakfast this morning, is tomato and onion on toast.

131
00:07:04,735 --> 00:07:06,975
Speaker 5: And I do a lot of containers and fill my

132
00:07:07,055 --> 00:07:09,695
Speaker 5: freezers up with it because I love them.

133
00:07:10,095 --> 00:07:12,535
Speaker 3: Cedric. I've got a good friend who used to be

134
00:07:13,135 --> 00:07:19,015
Speaker 3: still is with King's Seeds. King's Seeds they are in

135
00:07:19,095 --> 00:07:24,295
Speaker 3: Taroma and they have a vast quantity of all sorts

136
00:07:24,295 --> 00:07:26,855
Speaker 3: of seeds that you can purchase, and I would get

137
00:07:26,855 --> 00:07:29,055
Speaker 3: them sort of well before you know it's time to

138
00:07:29,095 --> 00:07:32,415
Speaker 3: plant them. Of course, go through their catalog. You can

139
00:07:32,415 --> 00:07:34,615
Speaker 3: see if you can get the catalog. Go through it

140
00:07:34,735 --> 00:07:37,775
Speaker 3: and you will see Italian tomato's all sorts of stuff.

141
00:07:38,215 --> 00:07:42,215
Speaker 3: And honestly, I used to get their seeds to try

142
00:07:42,255 --> 00:07:45,615
Speaker 3: them out in my glasshouse, in my tunnel house actually

143
00:07:45,695 --> 00:07:50,375
Speaker 3: in christ urs to have a sort of a comparison

144
00:07:50,495 --> 00:07:53,175
Speaker 3: with what they did in Tarrona. And so I've tried

145
00:07:53,175 --> 00:07:55,935
Speaker 3: all these different things, and sooner or later you come

146
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:59,975
Speaker 3: to your favorite ones and you know exactly what to do.

147
00:08:00,095 --> 00:08:01,335
Speaker 3: King seeds go never.

148
00:08:01,175 --> 00:08:08,735
Speaker 5: Look the attending ones are very dark skin compared to

149
00:08:08,775 --> 00:08:13,295
Speaker 5: Wes and the beef steak, and they're nice and tasty.

150
00:08:13,375 --> 00:08:16,335
Speaker 5: I get them to friends and they can't believe how

151
00:08:16,415 --> 00:08:17,295
Speaker 5: tasty they are.

152
00:08:17,975 --> 00:08:22,055
Speaker 3: There you are, It's fabulous.

153
00:08:22,455 --> 00:08:23,255
Speaker 2: You take care of it.

154
00:08:23,495 --> 00:08:25,095
Speaker 5: You feed them with niprosal.

155
00:08:25,695 --> 00:08:28,775
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure you do. If you go get over that.

156
00:08:28,895 --> 00:08:31,735
Speaker 2: All of this, all of this, A couple of people

157
00:08:31,735 --> 00:08:34,815
Speaker 2: have asked about certain types of long weeds. We'll get

158
00:08:34,855 --> 00:08:38,495
Speaker 2: onto that. But I've got this thing that's spreading like

159
00:08:38,615 --> 00:08:43,815
Speaker 2: crazy with a small purple flower. Are we talking Penny Royal?

160
00:08:43,895 --> 00:08:46,135
Speaker 2: Someone else text about Penny Royal before.

161
00:08:45,855 --> 00:08:47,775
Speaker 3: It could be it could be something like that. To

162
00:08:47,815 --> 00:08:50,175
Speaker 3: be quite honest, I really this is why I say

163
00:08:50,535 --> 00:08:55,215
Speaker 3: get yourself, I naturally and chet. Honestly, it's much easier.

164
00:08:54,855 --> 00:08:55,415
Speaker 2: To don't worry.

165
00:08:55,455 --> 00:08:57,855
Speaker 3: I will let me tell you that that just just

166
00:08:57,935 --> 00:08:59,935
Speaker 3: before we go any further than I know, you take

167
00:08:59,935 --> 00:09:02,655
Speaker 3: the break and you have to remember that if you know,

168
00:09:03,215 --> 00:09:07,175
Speaker 3: if you have a non grass weed, you can have

169
00:09:07,415 --> 00:09:09,295
Speaker 3: quite a few different things that you can spread that

170
00:09:09,375 --> 00:09:12,535
Speaker 3: does not cry brass, but it will kill the weeds.

171
00:09:12,815 --> 00:09:14,495
Speaker 3: And that is really what you need to know. So

172
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:17,335
Speaker 3: that's why it's important to know what you're going to

173
00:09:17,375 --> 00:09:17,855
Speaker 3: be killing.

174
00:09:19,215 --> 00:09:22,295
Speaker 2: Right, that's my homework today. We will will take a

175
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:24,135
Speaker 2: short break. We'll be back with more of your calls

176
00:09:24,135 --> 00:09:25,535
Speaker 2: in just a moment. We've got time for a couple

177
00:09:25,575 --> 00:09:27,815
Speaker 2: more calls. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty

178
00:09:27,935 --> 00:09:30,535
Speaker 2: is the number to call your news talks'd. We're taking

179
00:09:30,575 --> 00:09:34,655
Speaker 2: a few more calls and Graham a very good morning

180
00:09:34,695 --> 00:09:35,055
Speaker 2: to you.

181
00:09:35,695 --> 00:09:42,095
Speaker 7: Good morning. Just a question to Rude on the garden.

182
00:09:42,535 --> 00:09:46,775
Speaker 7: I had discovered some caterpillars. First of all, thought they

183
00:09:46,815 --> 00:09:50,055
Speaker 7: were monor caterpillars, but I discovered that they didn't have

184
00:09:50,055 --> 00:09:52,655
Speaker 7: a white line on them. They're black and they were yellow,

185
00:09:53,015 --> 00:09:55,415
Speaker 7: and we identified them at cinderbar moths.

186
00:09:57,975 --> 00:10:02,215
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and whether they're eating the cinebiu.

187
00:10:01,855 --> 00:10:05,255
Speaker 7: Moth so on only one plant, a ground soil weed.

188
00:10:06,375 --> 00:10:08,855
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, what do you want to do with them?

189
00:10:09,735 --> 00:10:10,975
Speaker 7: I don't want to do anything with them.

190
00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:15,015
Speaker 3: They're beautiful, quite gorgeous.

191
00:10:15,095 --> 00:10:19,415
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've never ever seen them before in the garden.

192
00:10:19,655 --> 00:10:20,975
Speaker 7: I'm in the middle of Canterbury.

193
00:10:21,295 --> 00:10:24,735
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. The cineba moth is actually a moth

194
00:10:24,815 --> 00:10:27,695
Speaker 3: that came originally out of the Netherlands, which Pete Pete

195
00:10:27,735 --> 00:10:31,735
Speaker 3: wolf Comfort will love. It's it's it's one of those

196
00:10:31,815 --> 00:10:36,295
Speaker 3: things that it's that it's specific specific weeds. Actually your

197
00:10:36,335 --> 00:10:39,575
Speaker 3: red warter, you got it. Yeah, And and the moth

198
00:10:39,615 --> 00:10:43,535
Speaker 3: itself is gorgeous, black and red. When you see it

199
00:10:43,575 --> 00:10:44,975
Speaker 3: fly around, it's beautiful.

200
00:10:45,055 --> 00:10:47,215
Speaker 6: Never seen one, but they're.

201
00:10:47,055 --> 00:10:49,415
Speaker 3: Quite common at the back of the Henry Springs. You

202
00:10:49,455 --> 00:10:51,215
Speaker 3: find them, you know, in the in the mountains at

203
00:10:51,215 --> 00:10:52,615
Speaker 3: the back places like that.

204
00:10:53,375 --> 00:10:53,575
Speaker 5: Yeah.

205
00:10:53,655 --> 00:10:55,775
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're all over the place. They're cool.

206
00:10:56,695 --> 00:10:59,415
Speaker 7: Well, we've had they seen a white butterfly, does see you?

207
00:11:00,175 --> 00:11:02,375
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've seen a few. But I don't I don't,

208
00:11:02,415 --> 00:11:05,775
Speaker 3: I don't care to be quite honest about them.

209
00:11:04,295 --> 00:11:10,015
Speaker 7: No, no, I know, no, I was curious to know

210
00:11:10,055 --> 00:11:13,415
Speaker 7: whether they're going to cause any great hell where they're

211
00:11:13,415 --> 00:11:15,215
Speaker 7: going to get. But I've never seen them before.

212
00:11:15,495 --> 00:11:19,935
Speaker 3: They literally only eat that particular wheat, you know, the

213
00:11:20,015 --> 00:11:24,815
Speaker 3: cinna Baba. You got to thank you for the great Graham,

214
00:11:24,815 --> 00:11:25,455
Speaker 3: thank you very much.

215
00:11:25,655 --> 00:11:27,375
Speaker 2: Speaking about things that we haven't seen for a while,

216
00:11:27,415 --> 00:11:29,135
Speaker 2: did I tell you I saw a frog the other

217
00:11:29,175 --> 00:11:29,855
Speaker 2: day in the garden?

218
00:11:30,455 --> 00:11:30,655
Speaker 5: Oh?

219
00:11:30,695 --> 00:11:34,615
Speaker 3: Good, greenish or brownish green? Okay, green tree frog? The

220
00:11:34,695 --> 00:11:36,615
Speaker 3: green frog? Yeah, it's it's not a native one, you

221
00:11:36,655 --> 00:11:37,575
Speaker 3: know they day Yeah.

222
00:11:38,095 --> 00:11:40,775
Speaker 2: Hey, look, I haven't seen that. I like seriously, the

223
00:11:40,855 --> 00:11:42,895
Speaker 2: last time I saw one was as a kid mowing

224
00:11:42,895 --> 00:11:45,655
Speaker 2: the lawns. And there I was doing some gardening, reaching

225
00:11:45,695 --> 00:11:48,695
Speaker 2: into dead head actually some of these buddy stalky things

226
00:11:48,695 --> 00:11:51,855
Speaker 2: that come out of that thing, he planty thing, and

227
00:11:51,855 --> 00:11:54,335
Speaker 2: and I just took his nose off with the old

228
00:11:54,375 --> 00:11:58,135
Speaker 2: secreturs and there you help with me. So I abandoned that.

229
00:11:58,255 --> 00:11:59,895
Speaker 2: I thought, I'll leave you to your leisure.

230
00:12:00,215 --> 00:12:03,255
Speaker 3: Yeah it's okay. Then it was nice to see they

231
00:12:03,295 --> 00:12:05,895
Speaker 3: are you know what we have in Canterbury here we

232
00:12:05,935 --> 00:12:08,935
Speaker 3: have the whistling tree frog. Did you find quite often

233
00:12:08,935 --> 00:12:19,655
Speaker 3: in the off No? Also nausy interlope the musical frog. Now, yeah, yeah,

234
00:12:19,695 --> 00:12:23,175
Speaker 3: how can you be? It's a nausey for God's sake,

235
00:12:23,735 --> 00:12:24,575
Speaker 3: are you for real?

236
00:12:25,855 --> 00:12:27,775
Speaker 2: Anyway, it's lovely to see it there. I haven't seen

237
00:12:27,775 --> 00:12:29,455
Speaker 2: that since I was a kid, so that was great.

238
00:12:29,775 --> 00:12:31,735
Speaker 2: Right here, David, talk to me about your lawn.

239
00:12:32,895 --> 00:12:37,535
Speaker 6: Hi, Hi, Yeah, I've just been renovating my existing lawn

240
00:12:37,535 --> 00:12:41,335
Speaker 6: over the last couple of months and also dug out

241
00:12:41,935 --> 00:12:44,535
Speaker 6: an old lawn which wasn't really proper top so it

242
00:12:44,615 --> 00:12:47,535
Speaker 6: was rotten rock below retaining wall, et cetera, et cetera,

243
00:12:47,575 --> 00:12:49,855
Speaker 6: and replaced it with a new tops et cetera, and

244
00:12:49,975 --> 00:12:53,655
Speaker 6: repeated it and kept it almost and wet until the

245
00:12:53,775 --> 00:12:58,495
Speaker 6: seeds turned into grass basically. But over the last couple

246
00:12:58,535 --> 00:13:01,655
Speaker 6: of weeks, I'm in Wellington, I was up north and

247
00:13:01,815 --> 00:13:04,855
Speaker 6: I was away that the sprinters going a bit couple

248
00:13:04,855 --> 00:13:08,095
Speaker 6: of days from a partner's monitor, but coming back after

249
00:13:08,175 --> 00:13:12,175
Speaker 6: two weeks as all us clover's just appeared. Look like

250
00:13:12,215 --> 00:13:15,255
Speaker 6: it was grass and that's clover, and I'm just well,

251
00:13:15,775 --> 00:13:19,495
Speaker 6: it's not obviously that's scattered around the place, so just

252
00:13:19,615 --> 00:13:22,375
Speaker 6: reading it is that because it could be overwatered. Now

253
00:13:22,775 --> 00:13:24,975
Speaker 6: that's causing it and should I just treat it with

254
00:13:25,015 --> 00:13:27,215
Speaker 6: it like a weed and feed or something like that.

255
00:13:27,215 --> 00:13:30,375
Speaker 3: That sort of stuff. Yeah, the yates turfect that sort

256
00:13:30,375 --> 00:13:33,215
Speaker 3: of stuff, I would say, but but I am not sure.

257
00:13:33,455 --> 00:13:36,815
Speaker 3: I would try it out first because there are certain

258
00:13:36,975 --> 00:13:41,175
Speaker 3: things that clover is not that easy to get control actually,

259
00:13:41,815 --> 00:13:44,575
Speaker 3: so you might need to find what you can use

260
00:13:44,695 --> 00:13:47,255
Speaker 3: with I know that is material you can use without

261
00:13:47,615 --> 00:13:50,935
Speaker 3: killing the grass. God to your local garden center see

262
00:13:50,935 --> 00:13:52,695
Speaker 3: what happens best in your area. I would say it

263
00:13:52,735 --> 00:13:54,455
Speaker 3: would be the h turfect or something.

264
00:13:54,615 --> 00:14:00,495
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, okay. And one more quick question. There's certain

265
00:14:00,535 --> 00:14:03,415
Speaker 6: areas where the dog a regular dog and e peace

266
00:14:04,175 --> 00:14:07,575
Speaker 6: and I suspect because the grass sigg rows quite quickly,

267
00:14:07,855 --> 00:14:10,615
Speaker 6: like like the height of it. It's like it goes

268
00:14:10,655 --> 00:14:12,615
Speaker 6: a lot more. Is that because of the nitrogen and

269
00:14:12,615 --> 00:14:15,695
Speaker 6: it's quite green because he kills the grass and then

270
00:14:15,735 --> 00:14:18,535
Speaker 6: adds a put of nitrogen and helps everything else around us.

271
00:14:19,615 --> 00:14:24,215
Speaker 3: Hang on, you said he You said he is it

272
00:14:24,295 --> 00:14:28,215
Speaker 3: a male dog? Yes, Well, that's unusual because it's usually

273
00:14:28,255 --> 00:14:31,695
Speaker 3: the female dogs that kill the grass because they pee

274
00:14:31,695 --> 00:14:34,415
Speaker 3: in one place. They pee in one place and that

275
00:14:34,615 --> 00:14:37,895
Speaker 3: over does the amount of fertilizer that she does. But

276
00:14:38,015 --> 00:14:40,335
Speaker 3: the male you know how it does one pe he

277
00:14:40,455 --> 00:14:42,415
Speaker 3: and a P there and a P there. That's much

278
00:14:42,455 --> 00:14:45,935
Speaker 3: smaller quantities and it's usually not as bad. So if

279
00:14:45,935 --> 00:14:48,855
Speaker 3: you've got a female dog, yes you better be careful.

280
00:14:49,295 --> 00:14:51,255
Speaker 3: But in this case, if it's a silly dog that

281
00:14:51,295 --> 00:14:53,535
Speaker 3: says in one place like a Jack Russell thinks, oh

282
00:14:53,575 --> 00:14:57,615
Speaker 3: this is mine, yes you can. You can get an overdose.

283
00:14:57,655 --> 00:14:58,775
Speaker 3: That's exactly what it is.

284
00:14:59,535 --> 00:14:59,975
Speaker 2: Interesting.

285
00:15:00,015 --> 00:15:03,175
Speaker 6: Okay, Does that mean the rest of it's nitrogen deficient

286
00:15:03,455 --> 00:15:05,415
Speaker 6: because it grows really well? No?

287
00:15:07,295 --> 00:15:12,055
Speaker 3: Oh good one, good one. Use it as a fertilizer, yeah,

288
00:15:12,055 --> 00:15:12,415
Speaker 3: why not?

289
00:15:12,975 --> 00:15:16,095
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, but then you should I pick a

290
00:15:16,135 --> 00:15:17,535
Speaker 6: fertalizer that's more nitrogen.

291
00:15:18,775 --> 00:15:21,735
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, a grass fertilizer will have nitrogen. That's

292
00:15:21,735 --> 00:15:24,415
Speaker 3: how grass fertilized. The N is higher than the P

293
00:15:24,535 --> 00:15:24,975
Speaker 3: and the gay.

294
00:15:26,295 --> 00:15:28,375
Speaker 6: Right, okay, okay.

295
00:15:27,935 --> 00:15:30,695
Speaker 2: Good luck with all of that. Yeah, all the very

296
00:15:30,695 --> 00:15:31,895
Speaker 2: best to you, Tiri.

297
00:15:32,215 --> 00:15:39,175
Speaker 8: Whitefly is early this season. I had what I started

298
00:15:39,255 --> 00:15:43,575
Speaker 8: become my conservatory with my tomatoes, and I hung a

299
00:15:43,615 --> 00:15:48,335
Speaker 8: couple of fly strips above the plant. Yeah, and I

300
00:15:48,455 --> 00:15:52,015
Speaker 8: have managed to totally break the cycle and have had no

301
00:15:52,295 --> 00:15:54,695
Speaker 8: white fly at all in the conservatory this year.

302
00:15:55,895 --> 00:15:59,255
Speaker 3: That's unusual to really wipe it out, because quite often

303
00:15:59,295 --> 00:16:02,175
Speaker 3: it does a reasonable job. But you don't get to

304
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:04,935
Speaker 3: the you know, to the system that you've got them all.

305
00:16:05,175 --> 00:16:08,935
Speaker 3: But yes, those little sticky fly tapes, that's what they are,

306
00:16:08,975 --> 00:16:12,655
Speaker 3: aren't they? Are they yellow color? Yellow color? Yeah? Yeah, the.

307
00:16:15,295 --> 00:16:20,335
Speaker 8: One to white ones, white ones. Okay, all right, you

308
00:16:20,455 --> 00:16:21,295
Speaker 8: see thet as long?

309
00:16:21,935 --> 00:16:27,415
Speaker 3: Yeah, they must be like yeah, there must be something

310
00:16:27,455 --> 00:16:31,335
Speaker 3: they like then. Now we used to have yellow fly

311
00:16:31,775 --> 00:16:32,535
Speaker 3: go on, yeah, go on.

312
00:16:33,655 --> 00:16:37,175
Speaker 8: Hanging a couple of eyes with it would reduces population

313
00:16:37,295 --> 00:16:40,695

00:17:44,655 --> 00:17:48,375
Speaker 4: Like size of a saying fly. Yeah, well a little

336
00:17:48,375 --> 00:17:49,735
Speaker 4: bit smaller than a saying fly.

337
00:17:50,335 --> 00:17:51,575
Speaker 3: And what do they do to you?

338
00:17:51,735 --> 00:17:54,575
Speaker 4: Ellen, They don't do anything to me.

339
00:17:55,415 --> 00:17:57,455
Speaker 3: Why are you ringing up your dogs? He'd bet.

340
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:08,415
Speaker 4: There's just swarms of coming out down the foundation of

341
00:18:08,495 --> 00:18:09,015
Speaker 4: my house.

342
00:18:09,175 --> 00:18:10,455
Speaker 5: They're coming out, well, I.

343
00:18:10,375 --> 00:18:14,575
Speaker 4: Think they're coming underneath the weather boards. Yes, they're coming

344
00:18:14,615 --> 00:18:19,015
Speaker 4: out from the cracks and the concrete and coming down

345
00:18:19,135 --> 00:18:21,015
Speaker 4: my nick Karen tree.

346
00:18:22,615 --> 00:18:28,215
Speaker 3: You tell me, have they got wings? Have they got wings? No?

347
00:18:28,295 --> 00:18:30,135
Speaker 3: They haven't got wings, Okay, okay.

348
00:18:32,615 --> 00:18:34,615
Speaker 4: And swarms of them go.

349
00:18:34,615 --> 00:18:40,455
Speaker 5: Along right along the pathway and up the gate.

350
00:18:41,215 --> 00:18:41,415
Speaker 1: You know.

351
00:18:41,935 --> 00:18:46,815
Speaker 4: They can be about eight or nine ten meters long,

352
00:18:47,455 --> 00:18:48,815
Speaker 4: some of the rows of them.

353
00:18:49,455 --> 00:18:52,215
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they're looking for food at the moment.

354
00:18:52,255 --> 00:18:52,295
Speaker 1: No.

355
00:18:52,415 --> 00:18:54,775
Speaker 3: The reason I asked if they've got wings is that

356
00:18:54,815 --> 00:18:57,815
Speaker 3: some of these ants have been in the stage of mating,

357
00:18:58,135 --> 00:19:00,935
Speaker 3: and the mating happens on the wing as they fly out,

358
00:19:01,295 --> 00:19:04,175
Speaker 3: females and males and the queens and the boys. And

359
00:19:04,215 --> 00:19:06,855
Speaker 3: they're having a bit of a good time. Oh I know,

360
00:19:06,935 --> 00:19:09,535
Speaker 3: but that is that's quite special to see that, especially

361
00:19:09,815 --> 00:19:13,135
Speaker 3: in heavy winds in Wellington. Ever tried that in Wellington

362
00:19:13,215 --> 00:19:16,895
Speaker 3: mating on the wing anyway? But you got it. But

363
00:19:17,175 --> 00:19:19,535
Speaker 3: in this case they are now trying to find feed

364
00:19:19,615 --> 00:19:21,975
Speaker 3: from their nests and their nesta and holes under their

365
00:19:22,255 --> 00:19:25,975
Speaker 3: under your house. Really, that's what they do. Honestly. It's

366
00:19:26,095 --> 00:19:28,655
Speaker 3: really hard to control those things. But you can do

367
00:19:28,735 --> 00:19:31,855
Speaker 3: it with various end control materials that you can spray

368
00:19:32,095 --> 00:19:35,415
Speaker 3: on the areas where they walk. Or you can give

369
00:19:35,455 --> 00:19:38,895
Speaker 3: them a bait that they will get into, and that

370
00:19:39,135 --> 00:19:41,455
Speaker 3: is bait that will kill them. So and bait.

371
00:19:42,735 --> 00:19:44,895
Speaker 2: There's a couple of options there for you. Well and right,

372
00:19:44,935 --> 00:19:47,255
Speaker 2: I'm going to go home, get the I Naturalist app

373
00:19:47,335 --> 00:19:49,255
Speaker 2: out and try and figure out what's in fisting.

374
00:19:49,295 --> 00:19:51,135
Speaker 3: My lord, you've got to learn how to do that.

375
00:19:51,215 --> 00:19:51,415
Speaker 5: Boy.

376
00:19:51,495 --> 00:19:53,575
