1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: All right, beck at it. We go twenty one minutesaf

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: from the top of the area. You're at home with

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Garry Sullivan and working on the home.

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 2: We are.

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: Ron Wilson steps in, he works on the outside and

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: the landscaping. And mister Wilson, how are you today.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: I'm a little chilly, little chilly, I can honestly say,

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: mister Sullivan. And I've always and you know me, I

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: wear shorts during the wintertime. I love the winter, I

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: love the snow. But I've had enough.

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, you put sweatpants on.

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: I have had enough. Let's get it out of here

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: and let's move on to the spring season. Still shorts

14
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: on that jet, no fat today. I didn't. And you

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: know what, because you know when you drive down and

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: there's like a chance of like black ice.

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Oh you don't.

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to be standing on the side of

19
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: the expressway with my shorts on.

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

21
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: And I used to carry a pair of sweatpants in

22
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: the in the truck with me, just in case, but

23
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: I quit doing that.

24
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: So you know, got a question. Yeah, And I heard

25
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: you talking about it, and I was just catching peace

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: piece of it as I was doing a little my

27
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: show prep you were talking with Scott your co host, Yes,

28
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: and you were talking about boxwoods and I know a

29
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: lot of people that have had not great success with it,

30
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: and you were talking about, you know, trying to find

31
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: a plant that kind of looks like but can you

32
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: kind of walk us through that? Because I talked to

33
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people also were the frustration level of planning.

34
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: Boxwood's maybe two and three times as a foundation planning

35
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: and not having success, and they're going like, what should

36
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: I do?

37
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know, boxwood kind of got a you know,

38
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: there's a couple of insects that's always bothered them. It's

39
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: no big deal, you can get right. And we had

40
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: that situation three or four years ago. We had that

41
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: cold snap and really did a number on boxwood and

42
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: other evergreens as well. Right in boxwood, there's a lot

43
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: of them in the landscape, so we noticed it a

44
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: lot on the boxwood. Well, now all of a sudden,

45
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: we've got an insect that's coming along, came out of

46
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: Europe that is just devastating. When they come into an area,

47
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: they just do a number on boxwood. And so put

48
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: all that together and people are like, I've always liked

49
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: boxwood because they grow anywhere and everywhere. They truly are

50
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: deer resistant. That's one plant that truly is. You know,

51
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: you can shape them any shape or form like you

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: know you used to do your Sullivan number letters in

53
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: front of your house and your boxwood. Of course, you

54
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: could do all that stuff with them. They're so you know,

55
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: that's just the way the plant is. Well, now all

56
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: of a sudden, these things come along where it's it

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: literally is wiping them out. And so now what is

58
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: a substitute to have that same look, Well, there isn't

59
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: besides Japanese yew. That's the closest thing you can get.

60
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: There isn't any other box would like plant out there.

61
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Japanese hollies maybe, But then you look at spy ree

62
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: as they lose their leaves in the winter time. You

63
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: look at some of the globear providies. They don't stay

64
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: like you can't shear them like boxwood. So you know,

65
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: it's it's a tough one. So right now they're doing

66
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: a lot of research.

67
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, somebody's working on that.

68
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: To come up with the new genetics on boxwood that's

69
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: resistant to these some of these issues. So it's just

70
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: out there. It's not going away. It will for maybe

71
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: a little while, Yeah, but it'll be back there. They're

72
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: working on.

73
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: I personally had given up on them, and and some

74
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: of it was my fault anyway, because when they were

75
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: planted it was and then a hot summer and probably

76
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: didn't keep enough moisture in the ground. That was some

77
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: of it. And then the cold snap, well that did

78
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the newer plannings, not only last year. I said that's it,

79
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: and I got some Japanese shoes and planting them the

80
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: same way, kind of took care of them the same way,

81
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: and they look great.

82
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. It's a great you know. Again, they

83
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: were always the staple in the landscape. Everybody got kind

84
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: of tired of me, and it became deer candy in

85
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: some areas. And then box would kind of stepped in.

86
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: And when there was a time when I first started

87
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: this industry, box would wasn't even available. They were so

88
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: expensive nobody could you couldn't find.

89
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they still aren't that cheese.

90
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: Still aren't that cheap. But they're growing today. We can

91
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: produce them a lot faster, more varieties, a lot more

92
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: people growing them in nursery, so they're not as expensive

93
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: as they used to be, but in comparison to other plants.

94
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: But you know, so Taxes was Japanese. You was the staple.

95
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

96
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: And you know what's interesting. You aren't allowed to plant

97
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: Japanese use in some of the Western states because deer

98
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: who feed on them at elk and moose are toxic

99
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: to them in those states.

100
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: But they were developed in the Midwest, were they not.

101
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: Well Japanese you yeah, so not Japanese you not here?

102
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: So those varieties not There is a native Taxes that

103
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: grows on the west west coast and they actually look

104
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: at that for medicinal purposes and other things. But these

105
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: particular selections can actually be toxic to the deer on

106
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: the west side of the United States, not the east.

107
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: That's credit crazy.

108
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's regional. It's regional. You had a conversation

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: going on about bees, Yes, And I had seen a

110
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: news story which was kind of frightening. It was with

111
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: agriculture out west and how many bees they've lost and

112
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: last year and now this year, and they were talking about,

113
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, pollinators like you talk about all the time.

114
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: Is this gotten to a crisis standpoint or was this

115
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: a little.

116
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: Bit of last year is when they had the big one.

117
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: It was like over a million of these were lost,

118
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: and they were the bees that be you know that

119
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: folks in Iowa places like that are raising to bring

120
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: to California. Those are all brought in and brought to

121
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: California for the almond trees and things like that. Come

122
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: to find out they went to bring them out, come

123
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: to find out they had been infested with a vera

124
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: might nobody had paid attention to them. They lost all

125
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: of those. Well, how do you recoup millions of bees

126
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: that you've lost. You know, that takes a couple of

127
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: years to bring that population back up. You have a

128
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: natural loss anyway over the winter time, so it's going

129
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: to take a few years to bring those populations back

130
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: up again. But those bees basically for all of those

131
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: are brought in on semis and then taken back to

132
00:05:59,400 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: the east side.

133
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, as usual, you are a fountain of knowledge and

134
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate your time.

135
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure, sir, Thank.

145
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: lot more time inside, but the indoor air quality is

00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: Hey Gary Sealvin. Here another happy Odor Exit comment. I

154
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: bought a perfect Chuice car, except it reached from the

155
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: smell of smoke. I scrubbed, I sprayed, I even left

156
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: windows open for days, and nothing got rid of that smell.

157
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Then I found Odor Exit AQM Air Quality Manager, a

158
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,520
