1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: All right, talking a little home improvement, greg I got

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: a quick answer on that oxalic acid to get rid

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: of walnut stains out of concrete. I said, what two

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: or three tablespoons of oxalic acid for a quart that's

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: pretty close. Or you can use a heaping tablespoon per

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: cup of water or a quarter cup of buxolic acid

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: per gallon of warm water ten to fifteen minutes to

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: let it sit, scrub rintse and rintse. Well, make sure

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: you wear gloves and goggles. So there you go. All right,

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: it's time for our friend Ron Wilson, and we're always

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: talking to him about our outside landscaping and gardens and

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: kind of going dormant on us. Mister Wilson, morning, How

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: are you good?

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: Oxalid acid?

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: You know there's a lot of plants that have oxalic acid.

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: Is it really? Yeah?

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: How about that rhubarb, spinach, kale, nuts seed, partially tomatoes.

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: I guess you got there with your big und.

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they all have that.

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: I love Brussels sprouts. How about you?

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: I like I. Actually, you know what's funny is I

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: I when I was a kid, a kid, there's no way, Yeah,

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have eaten that or cabbage either one.

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: You just kind of got into it in the last

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 3: probably four years.

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: The cabbage rolls and stuff I love and now the

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: Brussels sprouts absolutely love them.

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, our taste change.

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: Yes they do, by the way, And yes, things are

31
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: starting to shut down. As a matter of fact, looking

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: at lawns in our area, not maybe yours did, but

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: not a lot of growth. You noticed that last week

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: or so.

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely you can slowed down.

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, slowed down. So now what's gonna happen is leaves

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: are gonna start falling. So even though you don't maybe

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: need to be mowing, you still need to be mowing

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: right to grind up the leaves, grind up those leaves.

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're gonna start falling here in another week.

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see a major quick drop. I think. Anyway,

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens.

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be wet. It looks like it's gonna be

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: a wet week. He't I got a question, in fact,

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: not me, but Thomas is on hold and we can

46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of help him out since we have you on

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: the line.

48
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: He wants to uh, he's looking at leveling his backyard

49
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: and need some.

50
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Advice leveling the backyard.

51
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got some dips, Thomas, you there, I am. Yeah,

52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: is that what you want to do? Just kind of

53
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: make it a little more level?

54
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I've got a compounded issue. So let me

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: set the stage. I had a forty foot white pine

56
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: been there forever, cut it down two years ago, let

57
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: the roots rot best I could. I intended to run

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: a bobcap. I got a dingo instead, and that was

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: rough going. So I ripped up a bunch of ivies.

60
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: So this has never been cultivated. There's a bit of

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: a ravine natural drain part of the property. Yeah, so

62
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: uh yeah, it was a it was a rough weekend

63
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 4: at any rate. I ripped out as a bunch of

64
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: the ivy as I could, and ripped up some of

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: the roots, some as big as my arm, and I

66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: moved around a lot of the dirt around and so

67
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: what I'm left with is a bit of a rise.

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: There's a fair amount of clay in the front part,

69
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 4: which I want to regrade away from my house. There's

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: a driveway blacktop pad behind it, okay, and then I

71
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: have about six inches to go down in the first third,

72
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: and then there's about an eighteen inch drop towards the

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: ravine that I want to move a bunch of this

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: material around, try to level it out best I can.

75
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: Uh for let's say a badminton area, it's about.

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So you've got a whole bunch of work that

77
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: you're going to do there, and and let Ron and

78
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: I just kind of wrap, you know, give.

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: You some advice and uh so, what do you think

80
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: about that, Ron? That is a lot of work.

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: Huh Now I wouldn't tackle it, yeah, I mean, yeah,

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: that's a lot of that's a lot of moving and.

83
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: It is and who in the industry does that kind

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: of work? I mean, would it be an excavator because

85
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: that clay is not going to help you grow a

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: nice bad mitten.

87
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: Uh No.

88
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna do two things. One is they're going

89
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: to use to get the right soil for the fill,

90
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: because you bring topsoil, you know where you scrape that

91
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: in if you don't have the right soil, and that's

92
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: going to sink. I mean, if you watch them regrade

93
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: an area, they'll pull that top soil off, r regrade

94
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: with the clay that's underneath, correct and then come back

95
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: in once they're done with all of that grading and

96
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: it's final grade, then they come back into the top

97
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: soil on top and that's where everybody complains as well.

98
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Only get an ent or two of top soil, and

99
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: a lot of times that's all it was anyway, you know,

100
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: because top soil is just basically where the organic matter

101
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: is breaking down the top. So it's a matter of

102
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: making sure you use that heavier soil in the fill

103
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: areas and all before you do anything. And I think

104
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: the other the other thing I look at here too

105
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: is if it's a sloped area.

106
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: And he said ravine too, Yeah, make.

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: Sure that that gets covered before we get in to

108
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: the winter season. Obviously too late for seating. You may

109
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: get an annual ryot, but maybe too late for seating.

110
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: But you can still use that erosion netting things like

111
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: that to try to slow that down and hold that

112
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: hillside or that ravine the slope there.

113
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Like if we're building something in a home, we need

114
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: to get like a you know, permit or an inspector.

115
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to go at this haphazardly.

116
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again we don't know how big the area.

117
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not calculation test and stuff like that.

118
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: All of that's involved technically, you are correct, and so

119
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: when an excavator would come in and take care of that,

120
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: and there's you know Site one people there, there are

121
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: people that you know do both the landscaping whatever and

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: the moving of the soil. But again, yeah, you're right,

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: they kind of make sure all of those add up

124
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: and come together, so you've got the proper drainings and

125
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: proper slope and all that, and then come in with

126
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: a tennis court which I would also have a pickle

127
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: ball on there too. So someone is old.

128
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: As you can volleyball?

129
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: Oh volleyball?

130
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: Well yeah, yeah, there you go way too active.

131
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: Well that's yeah, especially if it's saying right.

132
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So well, you know, it brings up a good

133
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: point too, is first of all, I mean I'm not

134
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: knocking him, but it's almost getting a little too late

135
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: to do that, right.

136
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I think it's ever too late. I

137
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: mean they're going to be doing grading and all that through.

138
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: I mean as long as the soil is workable. And

139
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: where you get into problems is that, yeah, it would

140
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: be the erosion situation, right, And you know in situations

141
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: like that, like you look at a construction site right now.

142
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: There's one right behind our house where they're doing a

143
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: lot of soil moving right now, well anywhere where there's

144
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: a ravine a swale that they're finished with, and they

145
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: finished those up before they did everything else. Those are

146
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: now seated and they have erosion nettings on top of them,

147
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: and they have the straw bales on the top, and

148
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 2: so they're doing everything they can because they know they're

149
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: not going to get any vegetation there for us a year.

150
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: But that's already done and covered anticipating that, you know,

151
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: because it's so late in the season.

152
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: So maybe helping other people out, would you start with

153
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: first find somebody's going to do that work. It would

154
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: an excavator be that type of person, I think. So

155
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: he would have the knowledge on the types of soil

156
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: and what kind of soil, because unless you're really schooled

157
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: in that, that's not a do it yourself project.

158
