Well, 174 00:10:17,535 --> 00:10:19,855 Speaker 9: it's it's got a good crop on it this year. 175 00:10:20,695 --> 00:10:23,375 Speaker 5: They do that. Yeah, they do that cycling every now 176 00:10:23,415 --> 00:10:25,735 Speaker 5: and then. Yeah, it's the same with something like apples. 177 00:10:25,735 --> 00:10:29,375 Speaker 5: That there's quite a few things to do that. Goodness, 178 00:10:29,415 --> 00:10:33,615 Speaker 5: gracious me. Now, if you are losing those leaves, that 179 00:10:33,775 --> 00:10:37,095 Speaker 5: to me sounds like a warning. There's something not right there, 180 00:10:37,215 --> 00:10:40,135 Speaker 5: very not right there. And it might be that it's 181 00:10:40,175 --> 00:10:42,375 Speaker 5: come to the end of its life, which I find 182 00:10:42,415 --> 00:10:45,055 Speaker 5: strange because these things can be much older than that, 183 00:10:45,415 --> 00:10:48,855 Speaker 5: especially if you've got, you know, plum trees that are 184 00:10:49,415 --> 00:10:52,495 Speaker 5: maybe not grafted. Maybe that's the one. Maybe they became 185 00:10:52,535 --> 00:10:55,815 Speaker 5: weaker in this case, I don't know what to say 186 00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:58,175 Speaker 5: about this. And it's the same soil. You haven't mucked 187 00:10:58,175 --> 00:10:59,535 Speaker 5: around with it, you haven't, you know. 188 00:10:59,455 --> 00:11:02,655 Speaker 9: What I mean, I haven't mucked around with it. No, 189 00:11:03,975 --> 00:11:08,775 Speaker 9: watch got they are flare plants in the garden along 190 00:11:08,815 --> 00:11:10,655 Speaker 9: which has been normal all its life. 191 00:11:11,095 --> 00:11:15,295 Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, look to be quite honest, at fourteen 192 00:11:15,415 --> 00:11:18,215 Speaker 5: years old, it might it might have come to the 193 00:11:18,295 --> 00:11:21,295 Speaker 5: end of its life. I reckon, if you've been growing 194 00:11:21,335 --> 00:11:24,455 Speaker 5: this for fourteen years with success, then there is no 195 00:11:24,535 --> 00:11:28,375 Speaker 5: need for this to happen unless it's it's literally the 196 00:11:28,495 --> 00:11:31,175 Speaker 5: end of it. And in this case, start looking for 197 00:11:31,215 --> 00:11:33,575 Speaker 5: something else to plants. 198 00:11:33,615 --> 00:11:39,695 Speaker 9: In alything I spray it with is copper. Yeah, I 199 00:11:39,695 --> 00:11:41,575 Speaker 9: forgured what you call it? The liquid? 200 00:11:42,495 --> 00:11:45,615 Speaker 5: The liquid copper whatever? Did you do that recently. 201 00:11:45,295 --> 00:11:50,295 Speaker 9: Again or be probably months ago? 202 00:11:51,615 --> 00:11:53,695 Speaker 5: And this started after that spray. 203 00:11:54,255 --> 00:11:56,255 Speaker 9: That started since the spray. 204 00:11:56,335 --> 00:11:58,455 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that could have been an overdose of that. 205 00:12:00,175 --> 00:12:00,455 Speaker 6: Yeah. 206 00:12:00,455 --> 00:12:02,855 Speaker 9: Well I don't make a very strong brew. 207 00:12:02,975 --> 00:12:09,095 Speaker 5: But with these things like plums and peaches and things 208 00:12:09,135 --> 00:12:12,335 Speaker 5: like that, it pays not to spray the young leaves 209 00:12:13,095 --> 00:12:16,935 Speaker 5: because that would make them go literally curl over and 210 00:12:17,335 --> 00:12:20,975 Speaker 5: go off sometimes quite often in fact, and that's the 211 00:12:21,055 --> 00:12:23,255 Speaker 5: course for it. Yeah, Now you've got to be careful 212 00:12:23,295 --> 00:12:25,895 Speaker 5: with that, so that could be it. Now in this case, 213 00:12:25,975 --> 00:12:28,655 Speaker 5: it's a matter of keep yourself your fingers crossed, see 214 00:12:28,655 --> 00:12:31,855 Speaker 5: if it comes back right, and if it does come back, 215 00:12:32,175 --> 00:12:36,375 Speaker 5: remember not to spray the young leaves of these plea. 216 00:12:38,335 --> 00:12:38,575 Speaker 9: Yeah. 217 00:12:39,095 --> 00:12:40,935 Speaker 5: And the way and the way to deal with the 218 00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:44,575 Speaker 5: with the the problems that you have later on when 219 00:12:44,575 --> 00:12:49,815 Speaker 5: you get these these typical typical troubles with the peaches 220 00:12:49,855 --> 00:12:54,935 Speaker 5: and plums is to do that after when autumn starts, 221 00:12:54,935 --> 00:12:56,975 Speaker 5: when the leaves are starting to fall off, that's when 222 00:12:57,015 --> 00:13:00,575 Speaker 5: you can ram copper in without any problems at all, 223 00:13:01,455 --> 00:13:03,855 Speaker 5: when half your leaves are falling off. So that's a 224 00:13:03,895 --> 00:13:06,935 Speaker 5: good point. When half your leaves are falling off autumn, 225 00:13:07,015 --> 00:13:08,255 Speaker 5: that's when you spray the copper. 226 00:13:08,655 --> 00:13:11,135 Speaker 9: Not now, okay, I'll remember that one. 227 00:13:11,535 --> 00:13:14,255 Speaker 5: Try that. Hey, good, good luck with that, so that 228 00:13:14,295 --> 00:13:15,495 Speaker 5: there's hope for the plant. 229 00:13:16,615 --> 00:13:19,215 Speaker 9: Okay, I'll kick your posted. That's what Peter. That's the 230 00:13:19,295 --> 00:13:20,335 Speaker 9: tree stays alive. 231 00:13:20,815 --> 00:13:24,655 Speaker 5: Thank you, Laurie, good good, good one.

Kevin? How are you? 249 00:14:15,735 --> 00:14:18,895 Speaker 11: Good morning, a beautiful morning in Hamilton, and thanks for 250 00:14:18,975 --> 00:14:20,655 Speaker 11: taking my call rude. 251 00:14:20,495 --> 00:14:22,695 Speaker 5: Oh man, you started it. I thought the least I 252 00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:23,415 Speaker 5: can do is do it. 253 00:14:24,335 --> 00:14:29,615 Speaker 11: Thanks so much. Look twenty plus year comedia hedges Hamilton 254 00:14:29,695 --> 00:14:33,495 Speaker 11: seems to like comedias and yes, two meter high hedges 255 00:14:34,015 --> 00:14:39,655 Speaker 11: maintenance three apart from twice a year trim all going well, good, healthy, 256 00:14:39,695 --> 00:14:44,735 Speaker 11: plants first, shall we say spring. Ever, someone's taken a 257 00:14:44,815 --> 00:14:51,255 Speaker 11: fancy to them. Numerous holes about three four millimeter right 258 00:14:51,375 --> 00:14:56,815 Speaker 11: through the leave system and yet never before. What could 259 00:14:56,815 --> 00:14:57,375 Speaker 11: be doing it? 260 00:14:58,215 --> 00:15:00,415 Speaker 5: I could be bronze beetle or something like that. Have 261 00:15:00,495 --> 00:15:01,535 Speaker 5: you ever had those before? 262 00:15:02,895 --> 00:15:03,095 Speaker 9: Yeah? 263 00:15:03,135 --> 00:15:06,335 Speaker 11: I think so, unlimited numbers, but not not the holes. 264 00:15:06,375 --> 00:15:11,775 Speaker 11: But maybe there's a more prolific infestation the bronze beetle. 265 00:15:11,935 --> 00:15:14,855 Speaker 11: But I'm not worrying about. And that the trees are 266 00:15:14,855 --> 00:15:17,415 Speaker 11: not well, mean, you're not worrying about don't seem. 267 00:15:17,135 --> 00:15:17,815 Speaker 12: To be too much. 268 00:15:17,895 --> 00:15:20,455 Speaker 11: But I just thought there might have been something I could, 269 00:15:21,335 --> 00:15:25,135 Speaker 11: you know, spray over or something to upset their diets. 270 00:15:25,535 --> 00:15:28,175 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know what you're saying. I must admit that. 271 00:15:28,335 --> 00:15:31,135 Speaker 5: I remember we had bronze beethel and camellias when we 272 00:15:31,175 --> 00:15:34,495 Speaker 5: lived in Auckland, for instance. And it comes in, you know, 273 00:15:34,575 --> 00:15:36,455 Speaker 5: every now and then you get a really bad year, 274 00:15:36,855 --> 00:15:40,295 Speaker 5: and then suddenly it's not that bad. Again, depends entirely 275 00:15:40,375 --> 00:15:42,415 Speaker 5: on where you are. But here comes to thing the 276 00:15:42,495 --> 00:15:44,535 Speaker 5: way to find that out. And this is the clever 277 00:15:44,655 --> 00:15:47,295 Speaker 5: idea Kevin is to go out at night right now? 278 00:15:47,415 --> 00:15:49,055 Speaker 5: Is it good? Because this is the time when these 279 00:15:49,055 --> 00:15:52,535 Speaker 5: little rotters are going to your plants and eating those 280 00:15:52,575 --> 00:15:57,055 Speaker 5: holes in or actually creating those holes, if you like, 281 00:15:57,175 --> 00:16:00,255 Speaker 5: on the leaves. If you see them and they're about 282 00:16:00,335 --> 00:16:04,535 Speaker 5: let's say, or maybe a centimeter no, slightly less than 283 00:16:04,535 --> 00:16:07,815 Speaker 5: a centimeter in diameter as beetles, and the moment you 284 00:16:08,175 --> 00:16:10,415 Speaker 5: try to touch them, they jump off the leaf. That's 285 00:16:10,415 --> 00:16:14,215 Speaker 5: a clever trick to identify them as well. With they 286 00:16:14,255 --> 00:16:17,335 Speaker 5: go down onto the ground. If that's what it is, 287 00:16:18,015 --> 00:16:20,295 Speaker 5: I think you it's just a matter of time for 288 00:16:20,335 --> 00:16:24,695 Speaker 5: them to literally go down for the next stage, which 289 00:16:24,735 --> 00:16:27,335 Speaker 5: will be that they go and mate and lay their 290 00:16:27,375 --> 00:16:29,775 Speaker 5: eggs down in the ground, and that means that they're 291 00:16:29,815 --> 00:16:33,455 Speaker 5: little babies will start for the next episode, which is 292 00:16:33,815 --> 00:16:37,895 Speaker 5: living on your on your root zone of these plants. 293 00:16:40,375 --> 00:16:43,175 Speaker 11: Look that they're not eating them enough full of leaves 294 00:16:43,175 --> 00:16:44,815 Speaker 11: to say, hey, we've got to fall off. 295 00:16:45,135 --> 00:16:46,215 Speaker 9: You're cunning me. 296 00:16:46,335 --> 00:16:48,055 Speaker 11: But it's just I thought it might be able to 297 00:16:48,495 --> 00:16:50,455 Speaker 11: anticipate a greater problem. 298 00:16:50,695 --> 00:16:53,575 Speaker 9: Oh that's great, just while you're there. I never feed 299 00:16:53,615 --> 00:16:53,935 Speaker 9: them or. 300 00:16:53,935 --> 00:16:58,375 Speaker 11: Anything, but occasionally the local barista gives me bags of 301 00:16:58,455 --> 00:17:01,175 Speaker 11: coffee grinds and said, oh it's good for comedias. So 302 00:17:01,655 --> 00:17:04,615 Speaker 11: I put them all around the ground. Is he right 303 00:17:04,775 --> 00:17:07,095 Speaker 11: or am I just getting of his rubbish? 304 00:17:07,815 --> 00:17:07,895 Speaker 1: No? 305 00:17:08,095 --> 00:17:11,175 Speaker 5: I think he's kind of right. But do not go 306 00:17:11,255 --> 00:17:13,295 Speaker 5: over the top. I'll tell you we've got I've got 307 00:17:13,535 --> 00:17:16,535 Speaker 5: a son in law who used to well, he used 308 00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:18,735 Speaker 5: to do this bakery and things like that, but also coffee. 309 00:17:18,735 --> 00:17:20,935 Speaker 5: And he had heaps of this coffee. And I remember that, 310 00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:24,575 Speaker 5: Julie and I got these bags full of stuff. Go 311 00:17:24,695 --> 00:17:28,295 Speaker 5: gentle with it. Don't go over the top coffee. And 312 00:17:28,695 --> 00:17:31,615 Speaker 5: if you can, if you can mix it well into 313 00:17:31,655 --> 00:17:32,455 Speaker 5: this oil. 314 00:17:33,215 --> 00:17:34,655 Speaker 9: Okay, do you know what I mean? 315 00:17:34,975 --> 00:17:36,895 Speaker 12: Break it down with water first. 316 00:17:37,055 --> 00:17:41,695 Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah, or even with organic material, Yeah. 317 00:17:41,535 --> 00:17:42,415 Speaker 9: That's easy. 318 00:17:42,455 --> 00:17:45,455 Speaker 11: I was tending to put two or three centimeters all around. 319 00:17:45,535 --> 00:17:48,175 Speaker 11: Then of course it on a bit of a mat 320 00:17:49,095 --> 00:17:52,335 Speaker 11: which became a bit solid, okay. 321 00:17:52,095 --> 00:17:55,415 Speaker 5: And that is yeah, But hang on, that solidness isn't 322 00:17:55,495 --> 00:17:57,615 Speaker 5: isn't evident? Is evidence of the fact that it's been 323 00:17:57,655 --> 00:18:01,455 Speaker 5: too thick? Yes, yeah, got it so, so spread it 324 00:18:01,495 --> 00:18:03,735 Speaker 5: out as much as you can. But to be quite honest, 325 00:18:03,775 --> 00:18:06,575 Speaker 5: the answer to your question is, yes, coffee is actually 326 00:18:06,655 --> 00:18:09,375 Speaker 5: quite okay, But don't go over the top. That's exactly 327 00:18:09,415 --> 00:18:12,295 Speaker 5: the point. Oh, can I ask you can I ask 328 00:18:12,335 --> 00:18:15,575 Speaker 5: you something, Kevin, what is that camellia species?

Is it 352 00:19:29,295 --> 00:19:33,735 Speaker 5: true another plum tree is needed to make it fruit? Yes, 353 00:19:34,055 --> 00:19:37,095 Speaker 5: it would be good to have some cross pollination with 354 00:19:37,175 --> 00:19:40,495 Speaker 5: these things. And the cold thing is, actually it's just 355 00:19:40,495 --> 00:19:42,895 Speaker 5: a tip for anybody who wants to plant something later on, 356 00:19:43,055 --> 00:19:44,455 Speaker 5: or even know if you want to, if you've got 357 00:19:44,495 --> 00:19:47,575 Speaker 5: enough enough time to water them in the summer time. 358 00:19:48,055 --> 00:19:52,295 Speaker 5: If you have plum trees, it sometimes pays to put 359 00:19:52,335 --> 00:19:56,375 Speaker 5: them together in one hole and treat them as one tree. 360 00:19:56,535 --> 00:19:58,575 Speaker 5: Can you imagine one variety on the left, the other 361 00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:01,215 Speaker 5: one on the right, and basically you'll have then a 362 00:20:01,255 --> 00:20:05,655 Speaker 5: pollinator and you have a complete if you're like mix 363 00:20:06,095 --> 00:20:11,015 Speaker 5: of two varieties that do create fruit on their own 364 00:20:11,095 --> 00:20:14,735 Speaker 5: time and at their own at their own tempo as well. 365 00:20:14,895 --> 00:20:16,655 Speaker 5: But that's the way to go. I think that is 366 00:20:16,935 --> 00:20:19,735 Speaker 5: the way to go. Actually, with your promp tree, here 367 00:20:20,415 --> 00:20:24,135 Speaker 5: plants one next door to it? Easy, all right, here's 368 00:20:24,175 --> 00:20:27,375 Speaker 5: another one, Steven. What does Steven say? Wow? What a tree? 369 00:20:27,495 --> 00:20:30,415 Speaker 5: What a tree to have?

That's yeah, 373 00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:44,615 Speaker 5: I sometimes missed that that. You know, Why don't we 374 00:20:44,695 --> 00:20:47,935 Speaker 5: have that Ellersley flower show anymore?

All right, here's another peach question. 377 00:20:57,255 --> 00:21:01,255 Speaker 5: Five year old Golden Queen peach tree which had heaps 378 00:21:01,295 --> 00:21:05,455 Speaker 5: of fruit two years ago, but lots of the fruit 379 00:21:05,615 --> 00:21:09,335 Speaker 5: had a patch of jelly like sticky goo on them. 380 00:21:10,375 --> 00:21:16,575 Speaker 5: Oh would that have been the actual fruit anyway? Then 381 00:21:16,655 --> 00:21:20,615 Speaker 5: last year hardly any fruit which also had that gou 382 00:21:21,375 --> 00:21:24,375 Speaker 5: What spray should I use to prevent this problem? I 383 00:21:24,415 --> 00:21:26,215 Speaker 5: don't know. I don't know what it is. I need 384 00:21:26,255 --> 00:21:29,935 Speaker 5: to know. That's Chris from Westport. I wondered what it is. 385 00:21:30,695 --> 00:21:34,055 Speaker 5: If you can, Chris, give me a call and you 386 00:21:34,095 --> 00:21:38,015 Speaker 5: can explain what it looks like, because otherwise I wouldn't 387 00:21:38,055 --> 00:21:40,175 Speaker 5: know exactly what to do. I'm not going to recommend 388 00:21:40,175 --> 00:21:43,775 Speaker 5: something that I cannot identify, if that makes sense. That 389 00:21:43,855 --> 00:21:46,735 Speaker 5: would be silly to do that. So yeah, so that's 390 00:21:46,775 --> 00:21:49,175 Speaker 5: all I've got at the moment.

I have run you because I am 416 00:23:21,655 --> 00:23:25,175 Speaker 13: having a plague of blackbirds this season and they are 417 00:23:25,815 --> 00:23:30,535 Speaker 13: just slowly destroying my garden. I have had a problem 418 00:23:30,535 --> 00:23:32,335 Speaker 13: with them. I have a lementary and a pot, and 419 00:23:32,375 --> 00:23:34,575 Speaker 13: I've had to put a whole lot of steak for 420 00:23:34,815 --> 00:23:38,295 Speaker 13: inside the pot to keep them out. But my concern 421 00:23:38,455 --> 00:23:41,655 Speaker 13: now is for my vegetable garden because it's a bit 422 00:23:41,695 --> 00:23:45,895 Speaker 13: harder to stake all that. But every day I'm having 423 00:23:45,895 --> 00:23:48,655 Speaker 13: to go out two or three times and clean up 424 00:23:48,695 --> 00:23:53,095 Speaker 13: the mess and prop up all my poor little vegetables 425 00:23:53,135 --> 00:23:56,575 Speaker 13: that are being destroyed. So I'm really just ringing to 426 00:23:56,615 --> 00:23:58,735 Speaker 13: see if you have any ideas as to how I 427 00:23:58,775 --> 00:23:59,815 Speaker 13: can keep them out. 428 00:24:00,615 --> 00:24:03,495 Speaker 5: Yep, I can. You should basically have a chat to 429 00:24:03,535 --> 00:24:07,455 Speaker 5: my wife Julie, who would ask exactly the same question. 430 00:24:11,135 --> 00:24:13,455 Speaker 5: Julie and I said, we talk about this quite often 431 00:24:13,495 --> 00:24:15,895 Speaker 5: because there's a lot of people also on other talkback 432 00:24:16,015 --> 00:24:18,655 Speaker 5: things that we've done here in the previous weeks. Actually, 433 00:24:19,095 --> 00:24:21,895 Speaker 5: she would say the same things exactly that, and she 434 00:24:22,015 --> 00:24:24,215 Speaker 5: actually got me to buy some what was it called 435 00:24:24,215 --> 00:24:28,095 Speaker 5: Wingo bird repellent that you can use. There's all sorts 436 00:24:28,135 --> 00:24:32,135 Speaker 5: of bird repellents available, but I am not sure if 437 00:24:32,175 --> 00:24:35,415 Speaker 5: that's you up, but hang on. What she wanted was 438 00:24:35,455 --> 00:24:38,015 Speaker 5: that she was always heaved off by the fact that 439 00:24:38,055 --> 00:24:40,655 Speaker 5: these blackbirds would take all the mulch out of the 440 00:24:40,735 --> 00:24:44,055 Speaker 5: borders and toss them everywhere else. Do you know what 441 00:24:44,055 --> 00:24:48,455 Speaker 5: I mean? Yeah, I know, I know, you know. Okay, 442 00:24:48,455 --> 00:24:50,495 Speaker 5: So that's one of them. That's stuff that I just 443 00:24:50,575 --> 00:24:53,975 Speaker 5: mentioned called wingo bird repellent. I think that stopped these 444 00:24:54,135 --> 00:24:56,455 Speaker 5: me that it made the mulch harder to move for 445 00:24:56,535 --> 00:24:59,575 Speaker 5: those birds, and it would be it would be less messy, 446 00:24:59,575 --> 00:25:03,615 Speaker 5: if you like. But what I would do, yes, it 447 00:25:03,895 --> 00:25:06,215 Speaker 5: did work. But what I would do now in terms 448 00:25:06,215 --> 00:25:09,015 Speaker 5: of of my vegetables is literally have netting above it. 449 00:25:09,575 --> 00:25:13,815 Speaker 5: So I make low netting with fine mesh, you know 450 00:25:13,815 --> 00:25:17,295 Speaker 5: what I mean, and and hang them over some posts 451 00:25:17,375 --> 00:25:19,535 Speaker 5: that I wake in to the ground, exactly where I 452 00:25:19,575 --> 00:25:23,975 Speaker 5: don't want those blackbirds to come. Honestly, you save yourself 453 00:25:24,175 --> 00:25:28,695 Speaker 5: so much. Well, I was going nastiness, you know what 454 00:25:28,775 --> 00:25:29,095 Speaker 5: I mean. 455 00:25:29,655 --> 00:25:33,455 Speaker 13: Yes, So as they covered and knitting, you would need 456 00:25:33,575 --> 00:25:36,175 Speaker 13: to remove messing from time to time to water them. 457 00:25:36,695 --> 00:25:38,815 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's very simple with a couple of these 458 00:25:38,855 --> 00:25:41,015 Speaker 5: staples that you can put on the end of the nettings, 459 00:25:41,095 --> 00:25:45,815 Speaker 5: you know, into the ground. Honestly, I tell you it works, 460 00:25:45,855 --> 00:25:49,575 Speaker 5: and I hear I love this story. I bit. I 461 00:25:49,735 --> 00:25:53,575 Speaker 5: made this particular cage, a berry cage at some states, 462 00:25:54,175 --> 00:25:58,015 Speaker 5: to stop all the birds getting into my new my 463 00:25:58,095 --> 00:26:00,895 Speaker 5: new berries that were growing in there. And it was fine, 464 00:26:00,935 --> 00:26:03,135 Speaker 5: It worked beautifully, and the good netting and all that 465 00:26:03,175 --> 00:26:07,735 Speaker 5: sort of stuff, until some silver eyes found a entrance, 466 00:26:09,415 --> 00:26:13,855 Speaker 5: right and all and all I needed was by butterfly 467 00:26:13,975 --> 00:26:17,575 Speaker 5: net and I caught these things and and but here, 468 00:26:17,775 --> 00:26:20,255 Speaker 5: but this is this is the I know that I thought, Oh, 469 00:26:20,295 --> 00:26:23,175 Speaker 5: you rottenus. You know, you get well, you use language 470 00:26:23,175 --> 00:26:26,255 Speaker 5: you shouldn't use on radio. But anyway, I once that 471 00:26:26,375 --> 00:26:28,575 Speaker 5: this happened about six years ago, and I will I'm 472 00:26:28,615 --> 00:26:30,975 Speaker 5: telling you the story because it's something that changed my life. 473 00:26:31,735 --> 00:26:34,375 Speaker 5: I caught one of those silver eyes, and then I 474 00:26:34,455 --> 00:26:36,375 Speaker 5: realized that the one I had in my net, that 475 00:26:36,415 --> 00:26:38,735 Speaker 5: I caught in my net had a band around its 476 00:26:38,815 --> 00:26:42,575 Speaker 5: legs with numbers. Somebody had caught them and banded them. 477 00:26:42,575 --> 00:26:44,295 Speaker 5: So there was a whole group of people in my 478 00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:48,815 Speaker 5: neighborhood that does birdbending.

It's only got nine apricots 593 00:32:44,135 --> 00:32:47,055 Speaker 21: on it now, and it's three meters high and at 594 00:32:47,095 --> 00:32:50,295 Speaker 21: the top it's about three meters wide as well. And 595 00:32:50,375 --> 00:32:53,535 Speaker 21: I'm thinking, because I've planted it and didn't expect it 596 00:32:53,575 --> 00:32:56,455 Speaker 21: to grow so big, I don't know if I want 597 00:32:56,495 --> 00:32:58,455 Speaker 21: it for nine apricots. 598 00:32:58,735 --> 00:33:01,695 Speaker 5: Why not?

If you give 601 00:33:06,495 --> 00:33:10,575 Speaker 5: it a little bit more potash, flowering or fruiting fertilizers 602 00:33:10,695 --> 00:33:15,215 Speaker 5: which contains you know, potash, which is np K you 603 00:33:15,255 --> 00:33:16,455 Speaker 5: know NP and K. 604 00:33:17,415 --> 00:33:19,495 Speaker 7: Okay, you know what that means. 605 00:33:19,615 --> 00:33:23,575 Speaker 5: NPT those are the three letters you get on this 606 00:33:25,255 --> 00:33:28,695 Speaker 5: the way fertilizers work, and it's for nitrogen. P is 607 00:33:28,735 --> 00:33:33,415 Speaker 5: for phosphate, yeah, and the third one, K is for potash. 608 00:33:33,615 --> 00:33:35,615 Speaker 5: And if you give it a little bit more potash, 609 00:33:35,935 --> 00:33:40,375 Speaker 5: you get far more fruit, right. 610 00:33:41,175 --> 00:33:43,335 Speaker 21: Okay, So what can I do about the size of 611 00:33:43,335 --> 00:33:49,975 Speaker 21: this that's on a six hundred square meter section I'm huge. 612 00:33:50,015 --> 00:33:53,175 Speaker 21: Could I could I someone said you can ring behind 613 00:33:53,255 --> 00:33:56,895 Speaker 21: them or something.

You can actually almost well 622 00:34:18,575 --> 00:34:20,855 Speaker 5: I'm not saying bonzaie it. It's a bit too late 623 00:34:20,895 --> 00:34:23,855 Speaker 5: for that, but you can think along the Bonzaie line. 624 00:34:24,375 --> 00:34:26,335 Speaker 5: Make it a lot smaller, you know what I mean? 625 00:34:26,375 --> 00:34:27,935 Speaker 5: Bonzai make them smaller. 626 00:34:28,255 --> 00:34:31,175 Speaker 21: I'm not really gardener at all now, Mom, I and 627 00:34:31,215 --> 00:34:34,175 Speaker 21: I thought i'd put the hyperquot tree in this. This 628 00:34:34,295 --> 00:34:36,815 Speaker 21: man have these nice new apricot trees. I had no 629 00:34:36,935 --> 00:34:39,775 Speaker 21: idea that goes so big. So I'm just writing this 630 00:34:39,815 --> 00:34:42,615 Speaker 21: down half the size of what it says. Now, I 631 00:34:42,615 --> 00:34:43,895 Speaker 21: could cut it back to that. 632 00:34:44,815 --> 00:34:47,815 Speaker 5: Well, anybody that can prune trees, you know, there's a 633 00:34:47,815 --> 00:34:50,295 Speaker 5: lot of companies that do that. You can ask them 634 00:34:50,295 --> 00:34:52,615 Speaker 5: to have it, and I'm quite sure that'll be fine, 635 00:34:52,895 --> 00:34:55,815 Speaker 5: but you'll need to do that on a reasonably regular basis. 636 00:34:55,855 --> 00:35:01,215 Speaker 5: Like every other year or so. Okay, yeah, so, or 637 00:35:01,375 --> 00:35:03,815 Speaker 5: as you said, get rid of it and plant something. 638 00:35:03,535 --> 00:35:07,415 Speaker 21: Else, because there's amandarin tree the and it's sort of 639 00:35:07,455 --> 00:35:10,175 Speaker 21: shading that as well. It has lots of slayers, and 640 00:35:10,255 --> 00:35:13,015 Speaker 21: I think, well, it's probably easier for me just to 641 00:35:13,055 --> 00:35:15,255 Speaker 21: grow the mandarin in that case. 642 00:35:15,255 --> 00:35:17,935 Speaker 5: Fell You're absolutely right. It is what you like. It's 643 00:35:17,975 --> 00:35:20,895 Speaker 5: your garden, and you can actually you're actually in control 644 00:35:20,935 --> 00:35:23,935 Speaker 5: of how far and how high and how much. Does 645 00:35:23,975 --> 00:35:24,575 Speaker 5: it make sense? 646 00:35:25,335 --> 00:35:25,895 Speaker 21: Yeah it does? 647 00:35:26,095 --> 00:35:29,175 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, No, Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried about 648 00:35:29,175 --> 00:35:31,175 Speaker 5: it if that's the If I had a tree like 649 00:35:31,215 --> 00:35:32,695 Speaker 5: that and there was a pain in the bum, I 650 00:35:32,735 --> 00:35:33,815 Speaker 5: would get rid of it too. 651 00:35:34,655 --> 00:35:36,695 Speaker 21: Well, it's a lot of it's a lot of effect 652 00:35:37,015 --> 00:35:41,775 Speaker 21: picking up all the leaves and stuff like that. And yeah, 653 00:35:42,215 --> 00:35:46,055 Speaker 21: if you cut it too low, they don't fruit. Apparently 654 00:35:46,135 --> 00:35:48,535 Speaker 21: you're cutting off all the new growth. So if I 655 00:35:48,815 --> 00:35:51,855 Speaker 21: if it was cut half size, now would it have 656 00:35:52,015 --> 00:35:54,495 Speaker 21: fruit next year or not because the cut all of 657 00:35:54,775 --> 00:35:55,535 Speaker 21: the new growth. 658 00:35:56,255 --> 00:35:58,335 Speaker 5: Yeah, you will.

And 692 00:37:40,615 --> 00:37:43,815 Speaker 13: I'm wondering whether it's too exposed where it is, and 693 00:37:43,855 --> 00:37:47,695 Speaker 13: whether it needs to be more private and put into 694 00:37:47,735 --> 00:37:52,975 Speaker 13: the tree, into the toutra tree, or whether we'll have success. 695 00:37:52,375 --> 00:37:54,015 Speaker 16: Where it is it. 696 00:37:54,695 --> 00:37:57,215 Speaker 5: So, have you had any ruru in there already? 697 00:37:58,135 --> 00:38:00,775 Speaker 13: No, it's a brand new house that's been built. But 698 00:38:00,895 --> 00:38:03,695 Speaker 13: I can hear them in the toutra trees behind me. 699 00:38:04,575 --> 00:38:07,415 Speaker 5: Actually, that's not a bad idea because that's probably where 700 00:38:07,415 --> 00:38:10,335 Speaker 5: they'd like to be, to be slightly more covered, you 701 00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:10,815 Speaker 5: know what I mean. 702 00:38:10,975 --> 00:38:13,335 Speaker 13: I wonder if they'd like to be more private than 703 00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:13,855 Speaker 13: out on. 704 00:38:13,815 --> 00:38:17,135 Speaker 5: The front corner. That's right. I think you're probably right there, 705 00:38:17,215 --> 00:38:19,815 Speaker 5: because it's that's what they would do in let's say, 706 00:38:19,815 --> 00:38:22,535 Speaker 5: hollow trees as well. You know, when rural get their 707 00:38:22,655 --> 00:38:26,055 Speaker 5: little holes in the hollow trees, that is usually around 708 00:38:26,175 --> 00:38:28,615 Speaker 5: the trunk and that is the center of the tree. 709 00:38:28,695 --> 00:38:31,455 Speaker 5: Therefore they don't get as much rain, they don't get 710 00:38:31,495 --> 00:38:33,975 Speaker 5: as much winter, they don't get as much sun, and 711 00:38:34,015 --> 00:38:37,135 Speaker 5: they are a lot gentler in their in their home. 712 00:38:36,975 --> 00:38:37,455 Speaker 9: If you like. 713 00:38:38,535 --> 00:38:43,855 Speaker 5: Okay, so good idea. I I totally agree with you, 714 00:38:43,895 --> 00:38:46,135 Speaker 5: and that I have exactly the same feeling. And I've 715 00:38:46,135 --> 00:38:49,975 Speaker 5: seen it happen with with Andy and and and Liz 716 00:38:50,135 --> 00:38:54,135 Speaker 5: in on the Hawk's Bay. We had them literally inside 717 00:38:54,175 --> 00:38:59,095 Speaker 5: the trees there. Okay, yeah, yeah, do that all right? 718 00:38:59,215 --> 00:39:00,015 Speaker 13: Thank you very much? 719 00:39:00,255 --> 00:39:04,095 Speaker 5: How hey, success say and it goes that one. It's wonderful. 720 00:39:04,255 --> 00:39:06,215 Speaker 5: I love it. You know what we've got in Christ, 721 00:39:06,695 --> 00:39:09,055 Speaker 5: You know we've got in Christ here, We've got a 722 00:39:09,095 --> 00:39:12,135 Speaker 5: little a little owl that's a German owl that came 723 00:39:12,215 --> 00:39:15,495 Speaker 5: from Europe. It's almost half the size of a ruru. 724 00:39:15,735 --> 00:39:21,015 Speaker 5: And it goes like that really loud, especially when you're 725 00:39:21,495 --> 00:39:24,055 Speaker 5: especially when we're asleep, and it does that right outside 726 00:39:24,095 --> 00:39:25,215 Speaker 5: the window of our bedroom. 727 00:39:26,775 --> 00:39:30,655 Speaker 13: We had one that actually hit the ranch slider a 728 00:39:30,655 --> 00:39:33,655 Speaker 13: couple of years ago down and he lay upside down 729 00:39:33,735 --> 00:39:40,255 Speaker 13: with his he has quite big feet and claws. Yeah, 730 00:39:40,295 --> 00:39:42,855 Speaker 13: for a little while, and then he turned himself right 731 00:39:42,895 --> 00:39:45,255 Speaker 13: side up and shook himself off and flew away. 732 00:39:45,855 --> 00:39:48,935 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah. Quite often if they if birds do that, 733 00:39:48,935 --> 00:39:51,215 Speaker 5: it pace they have these little stickers on your window 734 00:39:51,255 --> 00:39:55,455 Speaker 5: that allows them to understand there's something else then then 735 00:39:55,575 --> 00:39:58,335 Speaker 5: just glass or something nothing, you know, but they will 736 00:39:58,375 --> 00:40:00,535 Speaker 5: be yeah you know what I mean.

Call Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 766 00:41:35,015 --> 00:41:38,375 Speaker 1: the resident builder with Peter WILKEV News Talk Zebbie. 767 00:41:40,175 --> 00:41:43,175 Speaker 5: Righty ho, we're back. My name is Ruth climb Paster 768 00:41:43,215 --> 00:41:48,455 Speaker 5: fitting fitting the bill here for Peter, who's flying somewhere, 769 00:41:48,495 --> 00:41:51,455 Speaker 5: I think, or maybe listen, maybe he's listening. I still think. 770 00:41:51,495 --> 00:41:56,455 Speaker 5: So Okay, lots of callers are gather. It might be 771 00:41:56,495 --> 00:42:00,055 Speaker 5: an idea to get on with John, because John was 772 00:42:00,135 --> 00:42:02,135 Speaker 5: going to ask us all sorts of questions and we 773 00:42:02,215 --> 00:42:04,135 Speaker 5: ran out of time. I John, can you hear me? 774 00:42:04,975 --> 00:42:09,135 Speaker 7: I can hear now talking about the plump trees and 775 00:42:09,175 --> 00:42:12,375 Speaker 7: the timing of the flowering of them. Yes, and you 776 00:42:13,255 --> 00:42:18,335 Speaker 7: gave a hint that you were a bit jervious about that. Well, 777 00:42:18,415 --> 00:42:23,415 Speaker 7: because Billington was flowering first plenty of great great guns 778 00:42:23,455 --> 00:42:25,735 Speaker 7: and then the Louisa followed after it. 779 00:42:26,415 --> 00:42:28,095 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's wouldn't that be normal? 780 00:42:30,175 --> 00:42:34,295 Speaker 7: But how can you get cross pollination if one flowers 781 00:42:34,335 --> 00:42:36,695 Speaker 7: first and then the other follows later. 782 00:42:37,455 --> 00:42:39,695 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that might not be the right combination in 783 00:42:39,735 --> 00:42:43,135 Speaker 5: this case of the two you're talking about. You're talking 784 00:42:43,175 --> 00:42:45,575 Speaker 5: about the efficiency. 785 00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:50,575 Speaker 7: Often has loads of fruit on it. And where is that? 786 00:42:51,095 --> 00:42:55,615 Speaker 7: Where is the cross pollination happening there? Maybe it neither, 787 00:42:56,655 --> 00:42:57,495 Speaker 7: maybe it doesn't. 788 00:42:57,615 --> 00:43:01,215 Speaker 5: But I and we've got no, I haven't got Billington. 789 00:43:01,535 --> 00:43:03,255 Speaker 5: Julie's got the other one. 790 00:43:05,535 --> 00:43:07,935 Speaker 7: The Doris, that Doris or the Amiga. 791 00:43:08,615 --> 00:43:10,775 Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no, no, no no no, you 792 00:43:10,855 --> 00:43:14,055 Speaker 5: talked about another. Wait, Louisa. That's right, Yes, she's got 793 00:43:14,095 --> 00:43:17,655 Speaker 5: a Louise which actually actually flowers later, doesn't. 794 00:43:17,375 --> 00:43:18,695 Speaker 7: It It does? 795 00:43:18,815 --> 00:43:24,055 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's right, Yes, no problem at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 796 00:43:24,295 --> 00:43:26,855 Speaker 5: We've got all the other little bits and pieces there. 797 00:43:26,895 --> 00:43:29,095 Speaker 5: But to be quite as you're probably right, it's a 798 00:43:29,175 --> 00:43:31,415 Speaker 5: later one. What you what would be an idea is 799 00:43:31,455 --> 00:43:34,975 Speaker 5: to find out what would be the best combination to 800 00:43:35,215 --> 00:43:39,135 Speaker 5: help with pollination. You know, which variety is closest in 801 00:43:39,215 --> 00:43:40,975 Speaker 5: terms of its timing. 802 00:43:42,215 --> 00:43:45,255 Speaker 7: Well, that's some let's say advice for all of your 803 00:43:45,295 --> 00:43:50,935 Speaker 7: listeners that might be yep, never mind, let's get on 804 00:43:52,175 --> 00:43:59,175 Speaker 7: prior mo No, not per perina moth, Parhina moth, yeah 805 00:43:59,415 --> 00:44:01,975 Speaker 7: or parina grab sorry yeah, yeah. 806 00:44:01,815 --> 00:44:04,215 Speaker 5: I know, I know, yeah, but they also become moths 807 00:44:04,255 --> 00:44:06,175 Speaker 5: that Don't worry, I know what you're talking about. 808 00:44:06,775 --> 00:44:09,455 Speaker 7: Is now the time to get the granules out and 809 00:44:09,535 --> 00:44:10,175 Speaker 7: sprinkle it. 810 00:44:10,135 --> 00:44:13,695 Speaker 5: On the lawn and this time, yeah, you might be 811 00:44:13,735 --> 00:44:15,495 Speaker 5: a little bit late, but you can do it. Yep. 812 00:44:17,135 --> 00:44:19,015 Speaker 7: Last week when I'm mowed in the lawn, it was 813 00:44:19,135 --> 00:44:22,175 Speaker 7: nice and green, and this week, looking around, it's also 814 00:44:22,295 --> 00:44:27,175 Speaker 7: be a lot of grass is turning a little bit paleish. 815 00:44:27,615 --> 00:44:32,855 Speaker 5: Oh really no, but prhina is mostly shown by holes 816 00:44:33,175 --> 00:44:34,095 Speaker 5: in the ground. 817 00:44:33,855 --> 00:44:37,855 Speaker 7: Right, yeah, But they eat the roots of the grass 818 00:44:37,855 --> 00:44:41,135 Speaker 7: and the grass cries. So I'm just wondering, is it 819 00:44:41,215 --> 00:44:44,775 Speaker 7: pale because the parhinam i was starting to eat the roots? 820 00:44:45,175 --> 00:44:47,695 Speaker 5: It could be or it could be too dry? What 821 00:44:47,855 --> 00:44:48,415 Speaker 5: was that like? 822 00:44:48,575 --> 00:44:52,095 Speaker 7: And we've had a load of rain mode the lawn. 823 00:44:52,575 --> 00:44:54,935 Speaker 5: In that case, you might you might have them. In 824 00:44:54,975 --> 00:44:57,575 Speaker 5: this case, your your hypothesis might be right. 825 00:44:59,855 --> 00:45:03,215 Speaker 7: Okay, Now I was interested and to hear you talking 826 00:45:03,255 --> 00:45:06,695 Speaker 7: about the schools and fijoas and all that sort of stuff, 827 00:45:07,415 --> 00:45:10,935 Speaker 7: And I've got a row of Fijian trees outside my 828 00:45:11,055 --> 00:45:17,215 Speaker 7: kitchen window, and the blackbirds were getting stuck right into them, 829 00:45:17,575 --> 00:45:21,815 Speaker 7: and it was really interesting to watch them because the 830 00:45:21,855 --> 00:45:24,815 Speaker 7: mother would come along and the babies would be with her. 831 00:45:24,935 --> 00:45:30,135 Speaker 7: The young birds and blackbirds have orange beaks. 832 00:45:29,855 --> 00:45:31,095 Speaker 5: Right, yeah, that's right. 833 00:45:31,375 --> 00:45:35,695 Speaker 7: The males, do you, Alyns have black beaks, which seems 834 00:45:35,695 --> 00:45:40,015 Speaker 7: to me a bit strange, because why aren't the starlings 835 00:45:40,175 --> 00:45:45,295 Speaker 7: in fact called blackbirds and the blackbirds called starlings. Do 836 00:45:45,375 --> 00:45:46,135 Speaker 7: you hear what I mean? 837 00:45:46,615 --> 00:45:48,695 Speaker 5: I'm going to give you one little thing before I 838 00:45:48,775 --> 00:45:51,335 Speaker 5: go to her next caller, and that is with starlings, 839 00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:56,055 Speaker 5: you can tell you know that they have those large 840 00:45:56,135 --> 00:45:59,335 Speaker 5: beaks if you like. You can tell males from females 841 00:45:59,695 --> 00:46:02,895 Speaker 5: by looking at the color of the beak closest to 842 00:46:02,975 --> 00:46:07,095 Speaker 5: where the beak starts. If that color is blue, it's 843 00:46:07,135 --> 00:46:12,375 Speaker 5: a boy. If it's pink, it's a good it's visible. 844 00:46:12,495 --> 00:46:13,855 Speaker 5: Have a look at it. You love it. 845 00:46:14,855 --> 00:46:20,255 Speaker 7: Well. The blackbirds, they're very territorial, because just the other 846 00:46:20,375 --> 00:46:23,215 Speaker 7: day I had an instance were two birds were having 847 00:46:23,255 --> 00:46:26,855 Speaker 7: an aerial fight with each other. They were faced off, 848 00:46:26,895 --> 00:46:31,375 Speaker 7: wings flapping, bee spashing at each other, and one was 849 00:46:31,455 --> 00:46:37,415 Speaker 7: trying to chase the other one away. 850 00:46:35,175 --> 00:46:37,335 Speaker 5: Typical, isn't it. Yeah, they do, they do that. 851 00:46:37,535 --> 00:46:42,135 Speaker 7: Yeah, we're the schools. Now, are they encouraging to have 852 00:46:42,575 --> 00:46:46,095 Speaker 7: fijoa trees and other fruit trees planted all around the place. 853 00:46:46,535 --> 00:46:48,655 Speaker 5: We do that at schools. Yeah, But in this case, 854 00:46:48,695 --> 00:46:50,655 Speaker 5: what I did with schools is we're trying to get 855 00:46:50,655 --> 00:46:53,815 Speaker 5: some native trees back in the landscape where it's needed, 856 00:46:54,215 --> 00:46:57,415 Speaker 5: and then actually start putting things in like wetter and 857 00:46:57,535 --> 00:47:02,295 Speaker 5: other creatures that belong there, sorry, that belong there originally 858 00:47:02,455 --> 00:47:05,695 Speaker 5: or originally. So that's what they do at schools, working 859 00:47:05,735 --> 00:47:09,895 Speaker 5: on rec storing the environment of the school as it 860 00:47:10,015 --> 00:47:12,175 Speaker 5: used to be, say, two hundred years ago. 861 00:47:13,015 --> 00:47:16,335 Speaker 7: But what about the idea that the pe geometry produces 862 00:47:16,375 --> 00:47:19,615 Speaker 7: fruit which the kids can eat, So isn't that something 863 00:47:19,695 --> 00:47:20,855 Speaker 7: to be preferred. 864 00:47:21,575 --> 00:47:24,655 Speaker 5: Yeah, some schools do that as well. But there's all 865 00:47:24,695 --> 00:47:26,815 Speaker 5: sorts of ways you can look at this. Of course, 866 00:47:26,855 --> 00:47:28,895 Speaker 5: you can grow your own food. Some schools do there 867 00:47:28,935 --> 00:47:31,655 Speaker 5: themselves too. That was not the problem. But what I 868 00:47:31,695 --> 00:47:33,575 Speaker 5: did in these schools where I've been over the last 869 00:47:33,655 --> 00:47:37,935 Speaker 5: two weeks, it was about restoring what it looked like 870 00:47:38,135 --> 00:47:41,095 Speaker 5: before the schools were established, you know, from the olden days. 871 00:47:41,495 --> 00:47:44,815 Speaker 5: And that's a totally different idea, but it was really 872 00:47:44,855 --> 00:47:47,815 Speaker 5: cool to do it anyway, John, thank you for your call. 873 00:47:47,895 --> 00:47:50,615 Speaker 5: I've got to get on with it, and I am 874 00:47:50,775 --> 00:47:54,975 Speaker 5: going to see if Mac is awake. How is Mike? 875 00:47:55,375 --> 00:47:55,895 Speaker 5: How are you? 876 00:47:59,895 --> 00:48:02,255 Speaker 10: I'm going to see Mac. 877 00:48:05,375 --> 00:48:06,015 Speaker 5: Can you hear me? 878 00:48:06,055 --> 00:48:10,375 Speaker 12: Make hello? 879 00:48:11,095 --> 00:48:12,215 Speaker 5: Hello? Are you there? 880 00:48:13,615 --> 00:48:15,975 Speaker 12: I'm trying my best, Yeah, yeah there. 881 00:48:16,255 --> 00:48:18,615 Speaker 5: I think we're on some funny delay. I have to 882 00:48:18,655 --> 00:48:22,095 Speaker 5: ask as to do something about things here. That's always 883 00:48:22,095 --> 00:48:24,935 Speaker 5: the same. When Peter isn't here, things go horribly wrong. 884 00:48:24,935 --> 00:48:25,495 Speaker 5: But don't worry. 885 00:48:26,215 --> 00:48:27,095 Speaker 12: You're getting me, are you. 886 00:48:27,495 --> 00:48:29,335 Speaker 5: I've got your boy, I know where you live. Get 887 00:48:29,375 --> 00:48:31,775 Speaker 5: on with it, Okay. 888 00:48:32,215 --> 00:48:36,375 Speaker 12: We've got a portyard which has got loose loose Messel Drive, 889 00:48:36,895 --> 00:48:38,815 Speaker 12: and in the middle of it, we're desperately trying to 890 00:48:38,815 --> 00:48:42,015 Speaker 12: grow a magnolia tree, and over the years to keep 891 00:48:42,055 --> 00:48:44,535 Speaker 12: them keep the weeds down, I've sprayed it a lot. 892 00:48:44,855 --> 00:48:48,295 Speaker 12: And then I suddenly thought that magnolia tree was looking tired. 893 00:48:48,695 --> 00:48:50,255 Speaker 12: And maybe I'm doing a good job of killing the 894 00:48:50,295 --> 00:48:55,135 Speaker 12: magnolia tree. Because in the in the courtyard, oozing out 895 00:48:55,215 --> 00:48:58,935 Speaker 12: of the stones is a thing that looks like rabbit 896 00:48:59,015 --> 00:49:03,215 Speaker 12: poo or say goat poo, dark dark green. It almost 897 00:49:03,255 --> 00:49:08,935 Speaker 12: looks like like a seaweed. Oh, it oozes out about 898 00:49:08,975 --> 00:49:12,255 Speaker 12: this time of the year, and I've put I've sprayed 899 00:49:12,255 --> 00:49:14,255 Speaker 12: and all that, but I don't like doing it because 900 00:49:14,255 --> 00:49:18,695 Speaker 12: I'm sure the magnolia tree is suffering this. The water 901 00:49:18,735 --> 00:49:20,775 Speaker 12: comes down to the magnolia tree, and I don't like that. 902 00:49:21,375 --> 00:49:24,855 Speaker 12: So I don't know what should I do, Like, you know, 903 00:49:24,855 --> 00:49:28,215 Speaker 12: it looks like it looks like seaweed, or we'll think 904 00:49:28,255 --> 00:49:31,375 Speaker 12: of rabbit spoo, you know, or goat spoof, little dark 905 00:49:31,495 --> 00:49:36,775 Speaker 12: black spots that appear out of the drive, soft wet 906 00:49:37,095 --> 00:49:38,815 Speaker 12: and I can't cut. 907 00:49:40,055 --> 00:49:40,215 Speaker 9: Is that? 908 00:49:40,615 --> 00:49:44,295 Speaker 5: Is that the stuff that dries hard and is surprise 909 00:49:44,415 --> 00:49:45,175 Speaker 5: hard And. 910 00:49:47,135 --> 00:49:50,055 Speaker 12: Yeah, I know, then you've got to hard to sweep 911 00:49:50,095 --> 00:49:52,695 Speaker 12: it away. It's you know, it's all a little bit, 912 00:49:53,895 --> 00:49:55,535 Speaker 12: but it just looks like seaweed. 913 00:49:56,055 --> 00:50:02,775 Speaker 5: It to look between a dark green, funny strange green, 914 00:50:02,975 --> 00:50:07,735 Speaker 5: and black. I forgot. I've forgotten the name of what 915 00:50:07,815 --> 00:50:10,975 Speaker 5: it is. It is something. It's actually quite an interesting material, 916 00:50:11,215 --> 00:50:13,695 Speaker 5: but it's a pain the bump because it's impossible to 917 00:50:13,735 --> 00:50:17,735 Speaker 5: do anything with You can't control it. You cannot control 918 00:50:17,815 --> 00:50:21,215 Speaker 5: I tried, I tried, went and forget. I tried all 919 00:50:21,295 --> 00:50:23,375 Speaker 5: sorts of things that we had. It went and forget that. 920 00:50:23,455 --> 00:50:26,335 Speaker 5: I tried on there and it did not It did 921 00:50:26,495 --> 00:50:29,495 Speaker 5: not work. It would not go away. And I still 922 00:50:29,575 --> 00:50:32,455 Speaker 5: haven't heard from and I'm sorry, I've forgotten what it's called. 923 00:50:32,495 --> 00:50:35,295 Speaker 5: My brain is not working at the moment. But I 924 00:50:35,375 --> 00:50:37,575 Speaker 5: know exactly what you mean. You know that that stuff 925 00:50:38,055 --> 00:50:41,895 Speaker 5: actually would, for instance, live in Antarctica. It's that tough. 926 00:50:42,935 --> 00:50:43,135 Speaker 8: Look. 927 00:50:43,855 --> 00:50:47,295 Speaker 12: When I sprayed with the spray, it does give it 928 00:50:47,335 --> 00:50:51,255 Speaker 12: a damn traffic. It doesn't like that RaSE up and 929 00:50:51,295 --> 00:50:57,375 Speaker 12: then next year or six months later, who the patches 930 00:50:57,415 --> 00:51:02,055 Speaker 12: as big as a big dining table or bigger. It's 931 00:51:03,575 --> 00:51:05,735 Speaker 12: I just don't have to do I put a plane 932 00:51:05,735 --> 00:51:06,495 Speaker 12: throw on it. 933 00:51:07,255 --> 00:51:10,935 Speaker 5: Yeah, you absolutely do. You prove the flamethrower on. That's 934 00:51:10,975 --> 00:51:13,255 Speaker 5: probably the only way you can do it. But I 935 00:51:13,255 --> 00:51:15,335 Speaker 5: would be bloody careful in the summer time. 936 00:51:20,775 --> 00:51:21,815 Speaker 12: Years I've been going to wring. 937 00:51:21,935 --> 00:51:29,895 Speaker 5: You know, he tried, he tried, and he failed. Listen, 938 00:51:30,615 --> 00:51:32,575 Speaker 5: I bet you there will be somebody. There will be 939 00:51:32,615 --> 00:51:34,895 Speaker 5: somebody that will say it's this, then the other thing 940 00:51:34,935 --> 00:51:37,695 Speaker 5: or whatever the name is. Because I've forgotten, and you 941 00:51:37,935 --> 00:51:40,855 Speaker 5: keep listening, because if I do hear from somebody on 942 00:51:40,895 --> 00:51:42,895 Speaker 5: the text machine. I'll let you know what it's called. 943 00:51:43,095 --> 00:51:45,535 Speaker 5: But that still doesn't help you getting rid of it, 944 00:51:45,615 --> 00:51:51,655 Speaker 5: because no, I know you won't give nor did I. 945 00:51:51,735 --> 00:51:54,215 Speaker 5: But at the moment I have kind of have to 946 00:51:54,255 --> 00:51:56,895 Speaker 5: say I don't. I actually don't know. 947 00:51:58,295 --> 00:51:59,695 Speaker 12: I'll try something. 948 00:52:00,735 --> 00:52:02,975 Speaker 5: Actually it I think it is edible. 949 00:52:04,775 --> 00:52:09,295 Speaker 12: Probably it looks like that, but it looks bad. It 950 00:52:09,335 --> 00:52:11,175 Speaker 12: looks it looks it looks solicter. 951 00:52:11,935 --> 00:52:14,135 Speaker 5: Would you like to eat something that looks like that? 952 00:52:14,295 --> 00:52:21,575 Speaker 5: I don't know. There I know exactly what you eat. Hey, 953 00:52:21,615 --> 00:52:24,015 Speaker 5: sorry about that, but keep on listening because I reckon 954 00:52:24,055 --> 00:52:27,215 Speaker 5: somebody will say something at some stage.

I would say, who is talking 957 00:52:35,695 --> 00:52:40,015 Speaker 5: about avocados and wilting leaves, et cetera. What are we 958 00:52:40,095 --> 00:52:42,255 Speaker 5: going to do? Marie? Hello, good morning. 959 00:52:42,735 --> 00:52:49,335 Speaker 17: Good morning road. I've got these fourteen foot avocado trees, 960 00:52:49,455 --> 00:52:53,615 Speaker 17: so we've got about eight, and there's for three of 961 00:52:53,695 --> 00:52:56,615 Speaker 17: them that for some reason the leaves have gone a 962 00:52:56,735 --> 00:53:00,255 Speaker 17: light sort of yellow and a wiltering and they look 963 00:53:00,335 --> 00:53:02,855 Speaker 17: like they're going to die any manner. So they do 964 00:53:02,975 --> 00:53:08,535 Speaker 17: have new green shoots coming up and on the end 965 00:53:08,575 --> 00:53:11,095 Speaker 17: of the branches. But they're the middle part of them, 966 00:53:11,535 --> 00:53:13,615 Speaker 17: and I've watered them and I've done all sorts of 967 00:53:13,655 --> 00:53:16,015 Speaker 17: things to them, but I have no idea why they're dying. 968 00:53:16,535 --> 00:53:18,255 Speaker 17: And they're not old, they're young things. 969 00:53:20,015 --> 00:53:22,415 Speaker 5: Did you plant those yourself? Or did you? Did you? 970 00:53:22,495 --> 00:53:26,095 Speaker 5: Surely did you? Did you buy them as as you know, 971 00:53:26,335 --> 00:53:31,335 Speaker 5: as properties, or did you chuck them from avocado pips? 972 00:53:32,615 --> 00:53:37,255 Speaker 17: They actually self seated themselves. And I've been producing avocados 973 00:53:38,495 --> 00:53:42,695 Speaker 17: just abundantly, and one of them is absolutely laden, but 974 00:53:42,815 --> 00:53:45,175 Speaker 17: all the leaves have come off one of them, and 975 00:53:45,895 --> 00:53:49,535 Speaker 17: the others have gone a terrible yellow light pale green. 976 00:53:51,255 --> 00:53:54,055 Speaker 5: Yep, gotcha? Okay, question, did you have a lot of 977 00:53:54,175 --> 00:53:55,855 Speaker 5: wetness this year? 978 00:53:56,895 --> 00:53:59,055 Speaker 17: No? 979 00:53:58,815 --> 00:54:01,255 Speaker 5: No, main, No main, No lots of rain. 980 00:54:02,255 --> 00:54:04,215 Speaker 17: No, the hawks bad doesn't tend to do that. 981 00:54:04,975 --> 00:54:08,735 Speaker 5: No, I get that fair good on. Yeah, that's a 982 00:54:08,775 --> 00:54:13,735 Speaker 5: good one. Oh gosh, you golly. I I don't know. 983 00:54:13,815 --> 00:54:16,015 Speaker 5: It could be. It could be one of the root rots, 984 00:54:16,055 --> 00:54:20,175 Speaker 5: for instance, that starts doing or verticillium wilts that could 985 00:54:20,255 --> 00:54:23,455 Speaker 5: do that, which are diseases that can be really really 986 00:54:23,575 --> 00:54:26,975 Speaker 5: nasty on these trees, and they are usually cost the 987 00:54:27,055 --> 00:54:29,855 Speaker 5: cause by overwatering. That's why I started with that one on. 988 00:54:31,255 --> 00:54:34,335 Speaker 17: Yeah, no, there would be the least to the problems. 989 00:54:34,375 --> 00:54:39,015 Speaker 5: Actually, yeah exactly. And you do have so you don't 990 00:54:39,055 --> 00:54:41,095 Speaker 5: need to do drain your soil. You don't have to 991 00:54:41,135 --> 00:54:43,415 Speaker 5: do any of that sort of stuff in that case. 992 00:54:43,575 --> 00:54:46,095 Speaker 5: I don't know what it could be, to be quite honest, 993 00:54:46,375 --> 00:54:49,695 Speaker 5: I think that phytostra and verticilium wilts are usually the 994 00:54:49,735 --> 00:54:53,415 Speaker 5: ones that make those leaves go yellow and literally weak 995 00:54:53,655 --> 00:54:58,375 Speaker 5: and go off. Oh my goodness, what else can I do? 996 00:54:58,735 --> 00:55:00,535 Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know what that could be. 997 00:55:01,615 --> 00:55:04,055 Speaker 17: No, I don't either, And I find it really interesting 998 00:55:04,175 --> 00:55:07,695 Speaker 17: that it does produce really new fruit. I mean that 999 00:55:07,855 --> 00:55:12,535 Speaker 17: new leave, but all around it it's actually wiltering, all 1000 00:55:12,695 --> 00:55:15,615 Speaker 17: wilting all its other leaves and things. The only thing 1001 00:55:15,695 --> 00:55:18,775 Speaker 17: I wonder is we do have quite a bad clay pan, 1002 00:55:19,255 --> 00:55:20,815 Speaker 17: and it might have hit the clay pan. 1003 00:55:22,535 --> 00:55:28,855 Speaker 5: Ah, so there isn't a great deal of if you like, 1004 00:55:30,095 --> 00:55:31,855 Speaker 5: the clay pen can be hard count it. 1005 00:55:32,575 --> 00:55:36,455 Speaker 17: Oh it's terrible. It's like coal crepe that's through the down. 1006 00:55:36,775 --> 00:55:40,175 Speaker 5: Yeah. That that now that might be the That is 1007 00:55:40,215 --> 00:55:43,335 Speaker 5: actually that very good, very good. You said that because 1008 00:55:43,335 --> 00:55:46,095 Speaker 5: that could well be the problem. In that case, it 1009 00:55:46,135 --> 00:55:48,415 Speaker 5: would be an idea if you plant new ones to 1010 00:55:49,215 --> 00:55:52,535 Speaker 5: literally get them into a lot more mellow soil. If 1011 00:55:52,535 --> 00:55:53,855 Speaker 5: you get you get money. 1012 00:55:53,975 --> 00:55:59,655 Speaker 17: Yeah yeah, yeah, I know, because they're so huge and 1013 00:55:59,695 --> 00:56:02,055 Speaker 17: I've been doing so well and then suddenly it was 1014 00:56:02,135 --> 00:56:02,935 Speaker 17: like bang. 1015 00:56:03,695 --> 00:56:04,375 Speaker 5: How deep is that? 1016 00:56:04,495 --> 00:56:04,775 Speaker 7: Leah? 1017 00:56:06,415 --> 00:56:10,975 Speaker 17: Oh gosh, it goes down probably about two feet? 1018 00:56:12,215 --> 00:56:14,415 Speaker 5: Yeah see that you you'd like a bit more for 1019 00:56:14,415 --> 00:56:15,455 Speaker 5: for for a big tree? 1020 00:56:15,575 --> 00:56:16,975 Speaker 9: Really yeah? 1021 00:56:18,495 --> 00:56:20,895 Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, so that may be it.

I reckon Bob 1137 01:02:13,055 --> 01:02:15,575 Speaker 5: because I found actually into I wrap, I found heaps 1138 01:02:15,575 --> 01:02:16,095 Speaker 5: of that too. 1139 01:02:17,215 --> 01:02:21,495 Speaker 18: Oh really, well, so there he was not that far.

The 1141 01:02:26,215 --> 01:02:28,535 Speaker 18: other one absolutely covered. 1142 01:02:28,535 --> 01:02:29,655 Speaker 12: And what do I do? 1143 01:02:30,295 --> 01:02:36,135 Speaker 5: What do I do? It's very white and fluffy, isn't it? Yes, 1144 01:02:37,055 --> 01:02:40,695 Speaker 5: I would use something that can actually get through that 1145 01:02:40,815 --> 01:02:43,895 Speaker 5: white and fluffy stuff. Now, I'm just thinking where I 1146 01:02:43,935 --> 01:02:48,455 Speaker 5: saw it somewhere here, egg, give me a ticky, Give 1147 01:02:48,495 --> 01:02:50,495 Speaker 5: me a ticky.

Bits and pieces that I 1150 01:02:56,215 --> 01:02:59,895 Speaker 5: did at the Ministry of Agriculture.

We've got a funny little delay 1200 01:05:59,215 --> 01:06:01,655 Speaker 5: thing on our system, but I get you fair. Finally 1201 01:06:01,695 --> 01:06:05,095 Speaker 5: I did get you go on, we've got. 1202 01:06:04,935 --> 01:06:08,335 Speaker 10: A problem, rude. We got from quite large gum trees 1203 01:06:08,375 --> 01:06:12,455 Speaker 10: growing on a coastal headland, and there's some sort of 1204 01:06:12,735 --> 01:06:15,735 Speaker 10: bug getting into the leaves, like quite a few in 1205 01:06:15,815 --> 01:06:20,055 Speaker 10: one leaf, and the leafs are bubbling. So I presuming 1206 01:06:20,055 --> 01:06:22,575 Speaker 10: the bugs eating the interior of the leaf, then the 1207 01:06:22,655 --> 01:06:25,895 Speaker 10: leaves are falling off and the gum trees are slowly dying. 1208 01:06:27,615 --> 01:06:29,655 Speaker 5: That's not a very nice thing to do if they 1209 01:06:29,695 --> 01:06:32,415 Speaker 5: thought that. I can imagine. I know there are creatures 1210 01:06:32,455 --> 01:06:34,775 Speaker 5: that eat the leaves of gum trees, and they usually 1211 01:06:34,775 --> 01:06:36,655 Speaker 5: do a little bit of damage, But whooped thee do 1212 01:06:37,135 --> 01:06:39,335 Speaker 5: They're not going to die from that now? 1213 01:06:39,335 --> 01:06:40,655 Speaker 10: These are inside the leaves. 1214 01:06:40,695 --> 01:06:42,015 Speaker 9: The bugs are inside the leaf. 1215 01:06:42,535 --> 01:06:45,255 Speaker 5: I get that. Yeah, there are things that do. 1216 01:06:45,295 --> 01:06:47,335 Speaker 10: They think we can spray the ground with the gum 1217 01:06:47,375 --> 01:06:50,735 Speaker 10: tree absorbed that it would put them off. 1218 01:06:51,095 --> 01:06:54,255 Speaker 5: No, I don't think that's going to work. Are they 1219 01:06:54,295 --> 01:07:00,095 Speaker 5: big trees, like, yeah, twenty thirty meters high? Yeah, there 1220 01:07:00,135 --> 01:07:02,175 Speaker 5: you go. Now, there's very little you will be able 1221 01:07:02,215 --> 01:07:04,135 Speaker 5: to do by putting it in the ground or in 1222 01:07:04,175 --> 01:07:08,215 Speaker 5: the root zone area. I don't think you can do that. 1223 01:07:08,695 --> 01:07:15,455 Speaker 5: You've got any suggestions, No, I don't because I really 1224 01:07:15,495 --> 01:07:17,695 Speaker 5: need to know what it is that does it? First? 1225 01:07:18,655 --> 01:07:21,215 Speaker 5: Is that easy? Is it? Is it easy to find 1226 01:07:21,255 --> 01:07:23,455 Speaker 5: those things? 1227 01:07:23,535 --> 01:07:25,095 Speaker 10: You can't pick a gum tree leaf and you can 1228 01:07:25,095 --> 01:07:28,935 Speaker 10: get there right in front of your face there, Yeah. 1229 01:07:28,775 --> 01:07:30,775 Speaker 5: I get that. But what what do you what is 1230 01:07:30,815 --> 01:07:33,375 Speaker 5: the creature that you find? What do you call it? 1231 01:07:33,615 --> 01:07:36,255 Speaker 5: What does the creature look like that you find inside? 1232 01:07:36,415 --> 01:07:37,495 Speaker 12: Just like a little grub? 1233 01:07:38,695 --> 01:07:41,655 Speaker 5: Okay, all right, just a bit bigger than they hear. 1234 01:07:43,495 --> 01:07:50,615 Speaker 5: Oh that's small. Yeah, pass, I wouldn't have a clue. 1235 01:07:51,215 --> 01:07:54,415 Speaker 5: Lance shaped, I don't know. I don't know. Is it 1236 01:07:54,495 --> 01:07:56,415 Speaker 5: lance shaped? Is it? Is it very thin? Is it 1237 01:07:56,415 --> 01:07:58,335 Speaker 5: a very thin gum? 1238 01:07:59,135 --> 01:08:01,095 Speaker 10: It's probably about ten mile long? 1239 01:08:02,295 --> 01:08:02,655 Speaker 9: Okay. 1240 01:08:06,135 --> 01:08:08,215 Speaker 5: I don't think that the tree will die as a 1241 01:08:08,255 --> 01:08:14,255 Speaker 5: result of somebody eating those things. I reckon that you restored. Yeah, 1242 01:08:14,255 --> 01:08:17,615 Speaker 5: there's something else. There's a second thing. There's a confusion here. Okay. 1243 01:08:17,655 --> 01:08:19,735 Speaker 5: I can imagine that there will be creatures that eat 1244 01:08:19,735 --> 01:08:22,055 Speaker 5: the leaves and and and literally they call them a 1245 01:08:22,095 --> 01:08:25,455 Speaker 5: leaf for minors in those leaves, but that doesn't usually 1246 01:08:25,535 --> 01:08:28,095 Speaker 5: kill them. That's ridiculous. There's something there's something else that 1247 01:08:28,135 --> 01:08:31,135 Speaker 5: doesn't work there. If your plants, if your trees are 1248 01:08:31,215 --> 01:08:33,855 Speaker 5: dying that way. There's something else that does it. It's 1249 01:08:33,855 --> 01:08:36,175 Speaker 5: not those creatures, I bet you, because that would be 1250 01:08:36,215 --> 01:08:42,535 Speaker 5: ecological suicide. Hey, if these creatures would kill their own host. Yeah, 1251 01:08:42,615 --> 01:08:44,495 Speaker 5: that's what I mean. So I can't tell you what 1252 01:08:44,575 --> 01:08:50,175 Speaker 5: it is. So that's something else, you know what fertilized 1253 01:08:50,175 --> 01:08:52,375 Speaker 5: the countries. But also have a chat to an iborist. 1254 01:08:52,535 --> 01:08:54,615 Speaker 5: See what they can do for you, because they will 1255 01:08:54,655 --> 01:08:56,855 Speaker 5: know what's near the root zone. At some states, they'll 1256 01:08:56,895 --> 01:09:01,455 Speaker 5: they'll ever look, okay, okay, there's probably better. I'm not 1257 01:09:01,495 --> 01:09:04,015 Speaker 5: going to guess on that now from here without seeing anything. 1258 01:09:04,055 --> 01:09:07,455 Speaker 5: That's that's impossible.

They are a pain in the proverbial, 1319 01:12:18,855 --> 01:12:21,295 Speaker 5: as you will know, and there's very very little you 1320 01:12:21,295 --> 01:12:24,415 Speaker 5: can do about it. I would not know what to 1321 01:12:24,415 --> 01:12:26,815 Speaker 5: do with an Indian miner. I think you've got to 1322 01:12:26,815 --> 01:12:28,975 Speaker 5: be very careful when you, for instance, put food out 1323 01:12:29,015 --> 01:12:32,975 Speaker 5: for birds that the miners are because they're very clever, 1324 01:12:33,015 --> 01:12:35,135 Speaker 5: aren't they. You try to get them out of there. 1325 01:12:35,295 --> 01:12:38,135 Speaker 5: They will learn not to go back there at some stage, 1326 01:12:38,175 --> 01:12:40,415 Speaker 5: but it takes a while. They take a lot of 1327 01:12:40,495 --> 01:12:41,295 Speaker 5: time to train. 1328 01:12:42,255 --> 01:12:48,175 Speaker 24: Okay, the other thing you've already talked about, Moon, We 1329 01:12:48,335 --> 01:12:52,335 Speaker 24: have been talking to us outside the bedroom window last night. 1330 01:12:53,455 --> 01:12:53,655 Speaker 9: Wow. 1331 01:12:54,575 --> 01:12:57,295 Speaker 24: What can I do to continue to encourage them? 1332 01:12:58,455 --> 01:13:01,135 Speaker 5: Well, you know there are many If you go, for instance, 1333 01:13:01,135 --> 01:13:05,255 Speaker 5: two places like Wingspan, you'll find all these particular boxes 1334 01:13:05,295 --> 01:13:08,655 Speaker 5: that you can build for ruru to breed in, you 1335 01:13:08,695 --> 01:13:11,255 Speaker 5: know what I mean. And you find them online as well. 1336 01:13:11,295 --> 01:13:13,535 Speaker 5: You find them online as well for for our for 1337 01:13:13,615 --> 01:13:17,335 Speaker 5: our native owls. I think that is a nice thing 1338 01:13:17,375 --> 01:13:19,175 Speaker 5: to do. I'm doing it the same with not just 1339 01:13:19,335 --> 01:13:22,695 Speaker 5: ruru but also little owls. And they do they do, 1340 01:13:22,815 --> 01:13:25,495 Speaker 5: they do love it. They take it. Get get that box. 1341 01:13:25,575 --> 01:13:27,295 Speaker 5: Make sure that you get the right box with the 1342 01:13:27,375 --> 01:13:30,695 Speaker 5: right size, if you like. Ruru has its own sizes. 1343 01:13:30,895 --> 01:13:33,815 Speaker 5: But also keep that box out of the sun so 1344 01:13:33,855 --> 01:13:37,215 Speaker 5: that no babies or mums or dads that are incubating 1345 01:13:37,855 --> 01:13:39,935 Speaker 5: will get too hot in the summer time. 1346 01:13:40,135 --> 01:13:40,295 Speaker 9: You know. 1347 01:13:40,895 --> 01:13:42,055 Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go. 1348 01:13:42,215 --> 01:13:45,575 Speaker 24: What about food sauce? Can I encourage a food sauce 1349 01:13:45,615 --> 01:13:46,815 Speaker 24: for them? 1350 01:13:47,215 --> 01:13:50,255 Speaker 5: No? I think I think they get their own insects. 1351 01:13:50,295 --> 01:13:54,535 Speaker 5: They get their own what do you call it, big 1352 01:13:54,575 --> 01:13:57,495 Speaker 5: moths and things like that. They get their own caterpillars. 1353 01:13:57,775 --> 01:13:59,255 Speaker 5: You don't need to do anything. 1354 01:14:00,255 --> 01:14:05,735 Speaker 24: So I thought they were mainly after mice, and oh yeah, 1355 01:14:06,175 --> 01:14:08,055 Speaker 24: yep as well. 1356 01:14:09,375 --> 01:14:12,775 Speaker 5: As well, yep, they eat other insects absolutely, because what 1357 01:14:12,855 --> 01:14:15,375 Speaker 5: I do with with these with these little owls as well, 1358 01:14:15,615 --> 01:14:18,255 Speaker 5: I get the pellets that they eject from their mouth 1359 01:14:18,695 --> 01:14:22,095 Speaker 5: and basically check in the pellets what they have been eating, 1360 01:14:22,135 --> 01:14:25,335 Speaker 5: because you get a complete skeleton out of them, sometimes 1361 01:14:25,535 --> 01:14:28,295 Speaker 5: a skeleton that kids can glue together as a mouse 1362 01:14:28,655 --> 01:14:32,015 Speaker 5: skeleton for instance. Oh really, yeah, it's really cool. And 1363 01:14:32,255 --> 01:14:35,295 Speaker 5: and and Rural does exactly the same thing. It's good fun. 1364 01:14:35,895 --> 01:14:39,775 Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, right, thank you, you got. 1365 01:14:39,575 --> 01:14:41,375 Speaker 5: It, Andrew, Thank you so much for and thank you 1366 01:14:41,415 --> 01:14:44,655 Speaker 5: for your yours, for your your patients. I've been trying 1367 01:14:45,535 --> 01:14:48,935 Speaker 5: get you later eight bye bye. All right, okay, ladies 1368 01:14:48,895 --> 01:14:52,335 Speaker 5: and jerikins, it's oh, fifteen minutes to the hour of eight. 1369 01:14:52,455 --> 01:14:54,535 Speaker 5: I think we should take a break and then come 1370 01:14:54,575 --> 01:14:56,455 Speaker 5: back again with some more calls. 1371 01:14:57,095 --> 01:14:59,735 Speaker 1: If it creaks, leaks, cracks or squeaks some is the 1372 01:14:59,775 --> 01:15:02,055 Speaker 1: time to get a sort of call. Oh, eight hundred 1373 01:15:02,055 --> 01:15:05,135 Speaker 1: and eighty to eighty, the resident builder with Peter Wolfkere 1374 01:15:05,415 --> 01:15:10,335 Speaker 1: News Talk said, right, Yo day. 1375 01:15:11,895 --> 01:15:16,855 Speaker 9: Good morning, Yeah, get a red. I've called because we've 1376 01:15:16,855 --> 01:15:22,255 Speaker 9: got a persistent ant problem. These ants are a bit 1377 01:15:22,295 --> 01:15:24,855 Speaker 9: smaller than normal, are probably only a couple of them 1378 01:15:24,855 --> 01:15:31,135 Speaker 9: all long. They like eating the toilet paper and the tissues. 1379 01:15:31,975 --> 01:15:33,615 Speaker 12: Oh and when. 1380 01:15:33,415 --> 01:15:38,615 Speaker 9: They crawl on your skin they bite. We put out 1381 01:15:38,935 --> 01:15:43,695 Speaker 9: ant bait and that sort of clears them off for 1382 01:15:43,735 --> 01:15:45,695 Speaker 9: two or three days and then they come back again. 1383 01:15:46,535 --> 01:15:50,415 Speaker 9: So I was just wondering if you could suggest something 1384 01:15:50,535 --> 01:15:52,495 Speaker 9: different that we could do to try and keep these 1385 01:15:52,535 --> 01:15:56,055 Speaker 9: ants under control. Well, firstly, what are they and secondly 1386 01:15:56,095 --> 01:15:56,975 Speaker 9: what do we do about them? 1387 01:15:57,415 --> 01:15:59,575 Speaker 5: Yeah, the white iday is a bit tricky. We've got 1388 01:15:59,615 --> 01:16:02,735 Speaker 5: about twenty or so species in New Zealand at least, 1389 01:16:03,415 --> 01:16:06,935 Speaker 5: and they I know, they have different sizes, different different 1390 01:16:07,415 --> 01:16:09,535 Speaker 5: colors and all that sort of stuff. That somewhere most 1391 01:16:09,575 --> 01:16:11,815 Speaker 5: of them are introduced, which is always a pain in 1392 01:16:11,855 --> 01:16:16,015 Speaker 5: the bum. How does things get here? A anyway? Second 1393 01:16:16,095 --> 01:16:18,735 Speaker 5: question is you made you used end bait. How many 1394 01:16:18,855 --> 01:16:20,495 Speaker 5: end bait stations did you use? 1395 01:16:22,815 --> 01:16:27,055 Speaker 9: Well, we just use one station at the location that 1396 01:16:27,095 --> 01:16:27,455 Speaker 9: they are. 1397 01:16:28,055 --> 01:16:31,015 Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, that makes that makes sense what I'm saying. 1398 01:16:31,055 --> 01:16:33,575 Speaker 5: But then what you're saying, but you have to remember 1399 01:16:33,575 --> 01:16:37,895 Speaker 5: that if you've got and colonies, they have their own territory, 1400 01:16:38,575 --> 01:16:41,935 Speaker 5: and that means that they and if they shift their spaces, 1401 01:16:42,175 --> 01:16:45,175 Speaker 5: you might get rid of one particular colony that you've got, 1402 01:16:45,495 --> 01:16:48,175 Speaker 5: but the next one says, ooh that colony is gone, 1403 01:16:48,335 --> 01:16:51,815 Speaker 5: I'm going to move over or extend my whatever, you know, 1404 01:16:52,615 --> 01:16:58,935 Speaker 5: my my my business. So the idea is to have uh, 1405 01:16:59,175 --> 01:17:05,575 Speaker 5: different bait stations for different colonies, if that makes sense, right, yeah, 1406 01:17:05,615 --> 01:17:08,055 Speaker 5: all right, so three four or five, maybe a couple 1407 01:17:08,095 --> 01:17:11,855 Speaker 5: of meters apart. Sometimes they sit in your ceiling. You 1408 01:17:11,935 --> 01:17:13,895 Speaker 5: might not know that, but they come all the way down. 1409 01:17:14,295 --> 01:17:17,895 Speaker 5: That's another way of doing it. Okay. So so the 1410 01:17:17,935 --> 01:17:21,295 Speaker 5: second thing is, uh, the fact that they eat paper 1411 01:17:21,415 --> 01:17:25,895 Speaker 5: is quite weird. I cannot remember having seen a lot 1412 01:17:25,895 --> 01:17:28,695 Speaker 5: of ants eating paper. Maybe that's the species that I 1413 01:17:28,735 --> 01:17:30,055 Speaker 5: don't know from where you are. 1414 01:17:31,935 --> 01:17:34,895 Speaker 9: That's weird because they're almost seen there on the paper 1415 01:17:34,895 --> 01:17:37,055 Speaker 9: than they are on the on the end base. 1416 01:17:37,695 --> 01:17:41,015 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's exactly what I mean. It's quite strange. 1417 01:17:41,495 --> 01:17:44,375 Speaker 5: But if they if you and you don't know, can 1418 01:17:44,415 --> 01:17:46,535 Speaker 5: you tell me what sort of bait you use? 1419 01:17:47,255 --> 01:17:49,855 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's the teer ey hear ke. 1420 01:17:50,375 --> 01:17:53,975 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, that should that should work basically. Is it? 1421 01:17:54,015 --> 01:17:55,415 Speaker 5: That's for protein, isn't it. 1422 01:17:57,135 --> 01:17:57,855 Speaker 9: I don't know. 1423 01:17:58,495 --> 01:17:59,055 Speaker 5: Yeah I think so. 1424 01:18:00,015 --> 01:18:01,855 Speaker 9: And they go for it. Like I said, you get 1425 01:18:01,855 --> 01:18:04,735 Speaker 9: them under control and they never seen it completely disappear. 1426 01:18:05,495 --> 01:18:06,375 Speaker 5: No, no, no. 1427 01:18:07,175 --> 01:18:10,175 Speaker 9: And then after two or three days they start coming 1428 01:18:10,175 --> 01:18:12,175 Speaker 9: back again them to excheck to the same place. 1429 01:18:12,935 --> 01:18:16,055 Speaker 5: Okay, well, look, it might be an if it does 1430 01:18:16,135 --> 01:18:19,015 Speaker 5: work and it let lowers the numbers use it. But 1431 01:18:19,135 --> 01:18:22,615 Speaker 5: if you think that it's not going to work very well, 1432 01:18:22,655 --> 01:18:26,015 Speaker 5: try something else. Try ants in your pants from when 1433 01:18:26,015 --> 01:18:29,415 Speaker 5: I forget or something from Yates or what. Some of 1434 01:18:29,455 --> 01:18:33,935 Speaker 5: these things are based on proteins, others are based on sugars, 1435 01:18:34,335 --> 01:18:37,135 Speaker 5: and then depends and exactly on what this particular group 1436 01:18:37,175 --> 01:18:40,695 Speaker 5: of ants likes first. But the idea is to have 1437 01:18:40,855 --> 01:18:45,855 Speaker 5: different places around your house where they where you get 1438 01:18:45,895 --> 01:18:50,455 Speaker 5: the different colonies feasting on that particular lovely stuff that 1439 01:18:50,535 --> 01:18:57,935 Speaker 5: you give them. Okay, okay, okay, success with that eh 1440 01:18:57,975 --> 01:19:01,735 Speaker 5: bye bye, okay, okay. Yeah, that's how it works sometimes, 1441 01:19:01,775 --> 01:19:04,695 Speaker 5: isn't it, with these bits and pieces? All right? So 1442 01:19:04,815 --> 01:19:07,895 Speaker 5: that was David with his nds. Think Pauline is wanting 1443 01:19:07,895 --> 01:19:11,375 Speaker 5: to talk wood pigeon from what I remember there there 1444 01:19:11,415 --> 01:19:11,815 Speaker 5: you go. 1445 01:19:13,655 --> 01:19:16,615 Speaker 15: Many years ago, I lived in Kerry Carey and I 1446 01:19:16,655 --> 01:19:20,455 Speaker 15: went out one day. When I came home, my husband said, oh, 1447 01:19:20,495 --> 01:19:24,175 Speaker 15: a wood pigeon flew into the window. Well, that was 1448 01:19:24,295 --> 01:19:27,375 Speaker 15: very sad. They said it left a mark on the window. 1449 01:19:27,895 --> 01:19:30,055 Speaker 15: And I said, oh, come on, you know you're joking, 1450 01:19:30,495 --> 01:19:32,495 Speaker 15: and were sure enough. When I went in, there was 1451 01:19:32,575 --> 01:19:37,215 Speaker 15: this big wing outspread mark on the window showing the 1452 01:19:37,295 --> 01:19:39,935 Speaker 15: tips of the feathers, like a hand with the feathers. 1453 01:19:40,615 --> 01:19:44,855 Speaker 15: And I assume because there's such a fatty bird that 1454 01:19:44,975 --> 01:19:47,895 Speaker 15: it left the fat the fat mark on the window. 1455 01:19:48,695 --> 01:19:51,775 Speaker 15: The local editor for the paper came down and took 1456 01:19:51,775 --> 01:19:53,815 Speaker 15: a photo of it and put it in the paper 1457 01:19:54,175 --> 01:19:55,775 Speaker 15: because it was so unbelievable. 1458 01:19:56,255 --> 01:19:59,255 Speaker 5: M that's right. It's quite often that the feathers themselves 1459 01:19:59,295 --> 01:20:03,135 Speaker 5: have got some materials on them. Some it might be 1460 01:20:03,175 --> 01:20:07,135 Speaker 5: a fatty stuff that makes that absolutely gorgeous picture. 1461 01:20:07,215 --> 01:20:08,495 Speaker 10: A there was. 1462 01:20:08,695 --> 01:20:12,775 Speaker 15: It was Saturday, almost unbelievable. But my husband had said, 1463 01:20:12,815 --> 01:20:14,775 Speaker 15: is he will have had a massive headache when he 1464 01:20:14,855 --> 01:20:15,415 Speaker 15: threw away. 1465 01:20:15,935 --> 01:20:19,735 Speaker 5: Oh, I told you absolutely, I can totally absolutely make 1466 01:20:19,775 --> 01:20:23,215 Speaker 5: no mistake. And did it did fly away? Though? That 1467 01:20:23,295 --> 01:20:24,375 Speaker 5: is what's my next question. 1468 01:20:24,575 --> 01:20:26,775 Speaker 15: Yes, yes, he came out and they had a look 1469 01:20:26,815 --> 01:20:29,255 Speaker 15: around and there was no sign of it. So it 1470 01:20:29,375 --> 01:20:33,535 Speaker 15: must have just flown into the window. Thought that's not 1471 01:20:33,535 --> 01:20:37,095 Speaker 15: the right direction to go. And yeah, flying into my 1472 01:20:37,135 --> 01:20:38,535 Speaker 15: windows here where I. 1473 01:20:38,495 --> 01:20:41,175 Speaker 5: Am now, Yeah, And the reason is they can probably 1474 01:20:41,215 --> 01:20:42,975 Speaker 5: see a window on the other side of your house 1475 01:20:42,975 --> 01:20:44,975 Speaker 5: and think that they can go through it. Yeah, that's 1476 01:20:45,015 --> 01:20:47,775 Speaker 5: the point. You know. You can get these little decals 1477 01:20:47,775 --> 01:20:49,735 Speaker 5: that you can put on the on the flight path 1478 01:20:50,135 --> 01:20:50,615 Speaker 5: and they go. 1479 01:20:50,655 --> 01:20:54,015 Speaker 15: Like, oh but dangly things hanging in the window. 1480 01:20:54,095 --> 01:20:57,415 Speaker 5: To try and get them well done, That is exactly 1481 01:20:57,455 --> 01:20:59,575 Speaker 5: what you should do with that. And now the reason 1482 01:20:59,615 --> 01:21:03,735 Speaker 5: I'm saying did it survive is when we as bird people, 1483 01:21:03,775 --> 01:21:07,335 Speaker 5: you know, we do bird bending, putting around their legs 1484 01:21:07,335 --> 01:21:10,295 Speaker 5: and not with numbers and follow what they do. But 1485 01:21:10,535 --> 01:21:14,095 Speaker 5: if you use that on these particular wood pigeons are 1486 01:21:14,175 --> 01:21:18,895 Speaker 5: native wood pigeons, they can suddenly die literally when you 1487 01:21:18,935 --> 01:21:22,015 Speaker 5: hold them in your hand. They're so quickly strongs, so 1488 01:21:22,055 --> 01:21:24,615 Speaker 5: you've got to be very careful with these birds, poor things. 1489 01:21:25,455 --> 01:21:28,175 Speaker 15: I remember the stories of old that they were so 1490 01:21:28,255 --> 01:21:31,055 Speaker 15: easy to catch because they fed up on the trees 1491 01:21:31,095 --> 01:21:34,495 Speaker 15: with berries, ate themselves so full that they fell out 1492 01:21:34,535 --> 01:21:37,855 Speaker 15: of the trees and the marry were able to catch them. 1493 01:21:41,375 --> 01:21:41,615 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1494 01:21:41,735 --> 01:21:47,455 Speaker 5: I could should try that myself one day. 1495 01:21:46,815 --> 01:21:50,055 Speaker 15: As long as that's sit too high on the tree though, No. 1496 01:21:50,175 --> 01:21:53,855 Speaker 5: Darling, I'll remember. I won't do that. Don't worry about it, Pauline, 1497 01:21:53,935 --> 01:21:56,775 Speaker 5: it's great.

They're there, They're there there. 1641 01:29:07,255 --> 01:29:10,055 Speaker 5: I can't I can't believe. No, I no, I would 1642 01:29:10,095 --> 01:29:11,655 Speaker 5: have said the same thing. I would have taken all 1643 01:29:11,695 --> 01:29:13,815 Speaker 5: the knee oil and that sort of stuff, absolutely, and 1644 01:29:14,695 --> 01:29:16,895 Speaker 5: on the on the basis of once a week type thing, 1645 01:29:16,975 --> 01:29:17,135 Speaker 5: you know. 1646 01:29:18,255 --> 01:29:19,975 Speaker 12: Yeah, well, the great order to come around to water 1647 01:29:20,055 --> 01:29:21,815 Speaker 12: the plants. And she told me, she wrote me, said, 1648 01:29:21,855 --> 01:29:23,335 Speaker 12: oh your plants are covered and black. 1649 01:29:23,415 --> 01:29:23,575 Speaker 16: Thing. 1650 01:29:23,855 --> 01:29:27,295 Speaker 12: So I got my mate, he's a gardener. He came around. 1651 01:29:27,335 --> 01:29:29,375 Speaker 12: I told him where the conquer oil was and he 1652 01:29:29,455 --> 01:29:30,655 Speaker 12: put on the right royal. 1653 01:29:30,535 --> 01:29:31,055 Speaker 9: Dose of them. 1654 01:29:31,095 --> 01:29:35,015 Speaker 12: But Tommy got back. Look, they were there and droves live. Well, 1655 01:29:35,015 --> 01:29:37,255 Speaker 12: I wouldn't say all of them are alive, but they 1656 01:29:37,295 --> 01:29:39,295 Speaker 12: were back. They were there. 1657 01:29:39,415 --> 01:29:42,495 Speaker 5: Grief, good grief. Now, to be quite honest, that that 1658 01:29:43,095 --> 01:29:45,735 Speaker 5: would be the that sort of those of oils are 1659 01:29:45,775 --> 01:29:48,735 Speaker 5: the best on those on those sort of buggers that 1660 01:29:48,855 --> 01:29:50,295 Speaker 5: do that, that's ridiculous. 1661 01:29:51,095 --> 01:29:52,935 Speaker 12: Yeah, I've got some success there. I didn't want to 1662 01:29:52,935 --> 01:29:55,335 Speaker 12: put that on because that goes into the plants itself. 1663 01:29:55,855 --> 01:29:58,695 Speaker 5: No, not necessarily. Success does not go into the plant. 1664 01:29:58,775 --> 01:30:01,535 Speaker 5: They think it's not. It's not. It doesn't go in. 1665 01:30:02,215 --> 01:30:05,175 Speaker 5: It only does to come, isn't it ted? 1666 01:30:05,495 --> 01:30:05,815 Speaker 12: Isn't that? 1667 01:30:06,535 --> 01:30:10,935 Speaker 5: No, it's not systemic. I don't think it's a systemic. Well, no, 1668 01:30:11,295 --> 01:30:15,335 Speaker 5: no it's not. I don't think it is. We have 1669 01:30:15,455 --> 01:30:17,615 Speaker 5: a go with a little a little patch to see 1670 01:30:17,655 --> 01:30:20,655 Speaker 5: if that works. I'm actually amazed that you that the 1671 01:30:20,735 --> 01:30:22,495 Speaker 5: oils don't work. That's ridiculous. 1672 01:30:23,295 --> 01:30:25,295 Speaker 12: So it was the orchids that you put garlic in 1673 01:30:25,375 --> 01:30:26,735 Speaker 12: glass here to get rythm bugs. 1674 01:30:26,735 --> 01:30:29,975 Speaker 5: And he said, that's right, that's what I mean.

I transplanted a a rose, a 1688 01:31:13,135 --> 01:31:16,375 Speaker 6: standard rose because it was in a too windy position. 1689 01:31:17,815 --> 01:31:17,975 Speaker 9: Two. 1690 01:31:18,815 --> 01:31:22,495 Speaker 6: It would be about two months ago and unfortunately it 1691 01:31:22,615 --> 01:31:27,415 Speaker 6: seems to be dying and I've sort of scratched the 1692 01:31:28,575 --> 01:31:34,095 Speaker 6: bark there. Sometimes that springs the roads alive. But there's 1693 01:31:34,095 --> 01:31:40,415 Speaker 6: about two two or two steams that where the buds 1694 01:31:41,255 --> 01:31:44,855 Speaker 6: should come. But it just it just seems to be 1695 01:31:45,495 --> 01:31:48,415 Speaker 6: idle green and nothing else. I don't know what this 1696 01:31:48,575 --> 01:31:48,975 Speaker 6: was to do. 1697 01:31:49,735 --> 01:31:51,935 Speaker 5: So this was that this was at the time, when 1698 01:31:52,215 --> 01:31:56,175 Speaker 5: this was in spring, when you when you to yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1699 01:31:56,215 --> 01:32:00,655 Speaker 5: that's that's the time to do it. Uh you watered it, 1700 01:32:00,775 --> 01:32:02,215 Speaker 5: I'm sure, but not too much. 1701 01:32:03,055 --> 01:32:08,255 Speaker 6: No, And I've sort of done the print King Charles 1702 01:32:08,455 --> 01:32:10,375 Speaker 6: talk to it to make it grow? 1703 01:32:16,255 --> 01:32:18,735 Speaker 5: Ye, God, oh, here we go. 1704 01:32:19,055 --> 01:32:23,735 Speaker 6: All right, you've been impatient it all probably will, yeah. 1705 01:32:23,615 --> 01:32:25,775 Speaker 5: But there's more to it than that. I mean, honestly, 1706 01:32:25,895 --> 01:32:28,455 Speaker 5: when you do rose, when you do a rose translocation, 1707 01:32:28,615 --> 01:32:31,495 Speaker 5: if you like, you know, the care you have is 1708 01:32:31,575 --> 01:32:34,615 Speaker 5: you don't you water it, but don't over water it. 1709 01:32:35,055 --> 01:32:37,775 Speaker 5: You give it a bit of shade, you know, that 1710 01:32:37,895 --> 01:32:41,055 Speaker 5: sort of stuff you prune to reduce the stress. If 1711 01:32:41,095 --> 01:32:44,815 Speaker 5: it is too big, for instance, don't fertilize it yet 1712 01:32:45,015 --> 01:32:47,415 Speaker 5: until now when it's sixtually established. 1713 01:32:48,215 --> 01:32:51,135 Speaker 6: I think I did put some fertilizer. 1714 01:32:51,295 --> 01:32:53,935 Speaker 9: Yes, you're right, Okay, that's okay. 1715 01:32:54,015 --> 01:32:58,335 Speaker 5: That doesn't mean it should die. But it's it's like 1716 01:32:58,415 --> 01:33:00,815 Speaker 5: when you go into hospital. You know, you get an operation. 1717 01:33:01,495 --> 01:33:03,735 Speaker 5: The first thing you don't think about. You don't think 1718 01:33:03,775 --> 01:33:06,815 Speaker 5: about versus having a messive meal, do you You know 1719 01:33:06,855 --> 01:33:10,935 Speaker 5: what I mean. I'm just making it up like that. Okay, yes, 1720 01:33:11,095 --> 01:33:13,495 Speaker 5: So the so you give it time, you check for 1721 01:33:13,655 --> 01:33:17,775 Speaker 5: new growth, and if that works, then you slowly start 1722 01:33:17,815 --> 01:33:19,655 Speaker 5: to give it a little bit of fertile and say, look, 1723 01:33:19,815 --> 01:33:20,455 Speaker 5: you can do it. 1724 01:33:20,695 --> 01:33:20,855 Speaker 19: You know. 1725 01:33:22,015 --> 01:33:27,415 Speaker 5: Obviously I don't know, but was there enough roots?

Starts to 1752 01:34:44,815 --> 01:34:47,895 Speaker 14: crack first, and then it just sort of peels off 1753 01:34:49,335 --> 01:34:52,975 Speaker 14: the drunk trunk. Seems that instead of going the grain 1754 01:34:53,055 --> 01:34:57,975 Speaker 14: of it going straight up, it's twisting around.
