Feeding your lawn in spring; repairing patchy areas

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, everybody. Welcome. I'm Ron Wilson, and you are
in the garden here on news Radio six' TEN wtvn
eight two to one w TV in eight hundred and
six to ten W tv and talking about. Yardening and
before we go To Buggy joe Bo, well let's just
go To Buggy Joe boggs already say it's time for
The Buggy Joe. Boggs your partners Are Joe, Boggs Assistant,
Professor Commercial Order. Course here's good for The Ohio States.
Extension i'll want you A Department. Entomology i'm not.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
DONE i, KNOW i know it's just getting, better. THOUGH i,
JUST i, MEAN i JUST i sat back here and
just listen describing WHO i. Am and SOMETIMES i think
you have a guest. ON i, think, wow whoever that,
IS i don't for? Them or are he scraping the
bottom of the barrel? Today let me tell you his.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Website b ygl dot olways you dot edu mister common
sensical Himself Buggy Joe, Boggs good, morning, Sir and No i'm.
Not everybody was begging for you to come back on the.
Show for Even elo was, saying when you're gonna get
Buggy joe back on, here tired to listen to you
talk all the.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Time, well, no they just wanted to, sleep aid they
wanted to have you, know trust. Me, YEAH i mean
it's just you, know it's just one step above white, noise?
Right is that What i'm? Hearing is?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
No so what are we talking about today besides fertilizing?
LAWNS i, Had, well.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
We'll talk about. THAT i think that's a great. QUESTION
i had one for it's a it's it's a little
premature because we haven't gotten into the vegetable season too much.
Yet BUT i had somebody asking me the other day
about whitefly and on, tomatoes and you, know it can
be a real, nuisance could be a real problem sometimes
if the populations are heavy. Enough and they were, like you,

(01:40):
know what CAN i do over the? Winter you, know
how do they? Overwinter AND i, said you know, What
i'm pretty sure they don't. Overwinter you know that SIX
i think still too cold for them to actually.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Overwinter well you know that's. Okay so so you you,
KNOW i go by the buggy. Sound but then we
have the bug doc, uh Doctor Dave, schettler you know he,
retired but he didn't retire right FROM osu. Entomology, yeah

(02:15):
WELL i get to interact with him a lot. More
and we just had this discussion on Our tuesday. Morning,
uh listeners probably RECALL i refer to this quite. Often
it's it's it's where we get some ideas for posting
with a buckeye yard and garden online or beagle online
as you as you talked about a minute. Ago but

(02:37):
we just talked, about you, know white flies a few weeks. Ago,
Uh now this wasn't this was these were house plants
and a home and, uh you, know and and that
is one. Source so let's start. There and most often
it's greenhouse white. Fly that's the that's the type of white.
Fly and the name kind of gives it, away, Right

(02:58):
so so it's true ron that that that are that
we don't. See, uh except for mulberry white. Fly there
are probably some out there, saying wait a, second what
about those little black spots you'll see on the underside
of of just every. LEAF i, mean it's called mulberry white,
fly but they really. Don't i've never seen a damaging.

(03:21):
Population so let's go back the little white you, know
insects that you, know fly up your nose from your
tomatoes right when they get when they have high, populations
theoretically they don't. Overwinter they they they. Overwinter they don't
overwinter OUTSIDE i should, SAY i just they. Overwinter for,

(03:44):
example house plants is a great place for them to.
Overwinter we get a high, population then you take your
plants out in the, summer and where do they? Go
they go to your. Tomatoes but you, Know, Ron i'm
starting to suspect just, that you, know the number of
times that people will contact us with a severe white fly,
problem you, know in Central, ohio and it's earlier in

(04:08):
the season than we. Expect So dave AND i were
talking about this and we're starting to waver a little
bit because our temperatures in the winter are you, know
as you, know our climate's. Changing at what point do
we lose the ability to kill some of these insects

(04:28):
that typically don't overwinter. Here and that's one where you,
know there's some suspicion that they might be able To
so where do They where do we find? Them outside
the side tomato. Plants if you ever see the weed velvet,
leaf it's actually kind of an interesting weed not real,
common but velvet leaf just supports huge numbers of greenhouse white.

(04:54):
Flies and then what happens in the, winter, well you
know they go into a stage and a lot of
times valid leaf has found where you're going to have
a lot of plant material just resting on the soil, surface,
right because they're kind of an edge. Plant they're a
weed that we find sometimes very you, know along the
edge of wooded areas or sometimes out in full sun,

(05:16):
obviously but the point being is that you do just
need to be aware and now if you can do
something to suppress them very, early and that may be
just insecticidal soap and don't mix it. Yourself you, know
we talk about that right, right these these concoctions that
we come up that we see post it. ONLINE i

(05:38):
got to tell, YOU i don't know how many times
over the, years you, know we've gotten plant samples and
you can tell it's a chemical burn and eventually it's you,
know we trace it back to the person you, know went,
online produced their own you, know concoction and then burnt their.
Plants so just you, know go to a garden center

(06:01):
and purchase insecticidal. Soap they these do wonderful jobs on
things Like greenhouse wife lies and they won't kill the,
predators particularly lady beetles and lady beetle larvae. Mostly uh
and and so you you. Have you can have your
cake and eat it too in that, case but no

(06:22):
tomatoes not. Cake, no, well, okay you can have your tomato.
PI i just have you ever had a tomato?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
PIE i do not like tomato. PIE i love.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Tomatoes, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah i'm kind of. IFFY i love.
PIE i, mean typically what kind of pie do you?
Like all of? Them BUT i have to admit that
tomato pie was a little.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Interesting here's here's A west virginuine for. You you may
have had. This your parents may have eaten it stewed
tomatoes with bread and.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Milk oh my, gosh, YEAH i tell. You, well we
could not do it as a, kid really. Crematoes oh,
NO i couldn't do.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
It, yeah well they did it over. Bread.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah where are we heading with? THIS i don't?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Know but so, anyway so that because you, KNOW i
always not, always but OCCASIONALLY i get someone who, says you,
KNOW i have fought white fly on my tomatoes every,
year And i'm just tired of fighting them, anymore you,
know leaving me to believe, them to believe that the
overwinter and they're in the soil or. Whatever and how
DO i get rid of? Them And i've always SAID,
i as far AS i, know unless things have, changed

(07:36):
they don't really overwinter. Outside you, know you can get
them from a greenhouse or from your, house or carry
them on your. Clothes but it's, like you, Know i've
got them every year on these. Paths and then you're,
LIKE i you, know and again you're the. Spray you're,
right it's secticidal. Soap and of course the white fly
sticky traps are. Great oh they are. Too, yeah, yeah

(07:58):
hanging those things in a. Plane you got a. MATE
i always tell, people if you're on the spray in p,
sechticidal so stand back away from the tomatoes so they
don't know you're coming.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Up that's, true that.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Is because they'll scatter like, crazy they. Do, yeah so
you surprise attack them from about six to eight feet.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Away you, know you do make a good. Point and
and and we have excellent garden, centers and you, know
the professionals in the retail, market and they're just. Outstanding
we're we're very fortunate that way and very. Dedicated but
but we do occasionally see RON i, mean with our best,
efforts we do occasionally see plants that might have some

(08:39):
white fly, issues you know that you do pick up
in the. Spring and it's important then as you are
purchasing just to kind of wave your hand, over just
give a little look see to make sure because THAT
i forgot to mention that that that is you, know
one possible. Source you, know your, plant your annual outside

(09:00):
and you know maybe you, know maybe there's a low level.
Infestation but then they build. Rapidly but AS i, said,
though we're starting to become a little suspicious about the whole.
Situation so it's very important to to just keep keep
an eye. Out and and here's the. Problem when we

(09:20):
WHEN i mean we really look at our tomato plants
mostly when they're starting to ripen right, right you, know
we don't, uh we may be look, into you, know
like pinchback some of the suckers and do a little
bit of tying up and all. That but the, MINUTE i,
mean as soon as you start seeing you, know very early,
infestation then you need to react because they they go.

(09:42):
FAST i, mean they really build. Fast and that's when
you can suppress, them and that's when you can then
not have to deal with. Them and it usually does
take more than one insecticidal soap. Application oh, yeah, yeah
you're not going to get them all in one.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Swatch but if you do a combination of the soaps
and that sticky white fly sticky.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Trap, yeah you can.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Keep you may not get all of, them but you
keep the populations that are very low that you really
don't even.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Notice, yeah AND i always HAVE i always have to
replace those traps WHEN i start picking, tomatoes because you,
know they get stuck on my arm and on.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Your fingers on the. Tomato you, know you was a
piece of cheese and you bit into.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
IT i don't know where coming. UP i know where
we're going to the.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Break we're going to take a quick break to come.
BACK i got a funny feel that we're going to
talk about feeding the lawn With Buggy Joe boggs here
on News radio six to TEN. Wtvn enjoying The. Boss
here on News radio six'. Ten wtvn time for part
two Of The Bugget Joe Boggs. Your Ports joe bogs
will issue extension talking about. Whitefly EARLIER but i think

(10:49):
you suggested possibly about feeding the lawn this time of.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The year, in general, you know, lawn caer particularly after last.
YEAR'S drought, i mean this is this is a true
test right now as to whether or not you know
your your lawn made it through. The drought and some
people are seeing. Patchy areas and, you know even THOUGH

(11:13):
and i know you've talked about, This, before ron that
that we, often say, you know the best the best
time to seed a lawn is in, the fall actually,
late summer and we have SAYINGS that i grew. Up
with you know that that the worst fall seating is
still better than the best. Spring seating but, you know

(11:34):
the fact is you should just get seed down when.
You can i've had to overseat a few patches in,
my lawn, not MANY but, i understand, you know there
may be a problem with those seedlings making it through
the worst time of the year for. Turf grass, of
course that's in the aduldrums, of summer right when it
gets really hot. And dry but you need to make

(11:57):
sure and and work towards sickening. A lawn there's another
Thing that i've, always loved and that is, you know
the best turf grass herbicide is. Fertilizer, waiting yeah it's
and it and it. Is, true actually you could also
say the best turf grass herbicide is proper use of,

(12:20):
a lawnmower and that's also. Very true so how does
all this? Fit, together, WELL.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Well i, don't KNOW but i know you're going to.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
TELL us i might be. Able to i'm. Not sure
i've got notes here and, OH god i just knocked
them off. The table, but serious we, are seeing, you
know some pushback on fertilizers that, contain uh, you know
high amounts. Of phosphorus and of course that's the the

(12:48):
second number you know in the what we call the
grade of a fertilizer. Nitrogen PHOSPHORUS and i always say
catassium right because it's WITH, a k but. IT'S potassium
i just threw everybody off of. That way but it's
the middle number that you know that you'll now see
a lot of products have zero and that's because, of this,

(13:11):
you know, uh concern, you know rightful concern that that.
We do we do see, you know phosterrous runoffs from
various sources and they go into our water Then support
uh what are you know called, algal blooms but they're
actually saying. A bacteria but that's kind of beside. The

(13:31):
point it does create issues in our waterways and lakes and,
so forth so we don't want to. Have that and
what why we, got there in, my opinion is that
many times we put down nutrients that just simply. Aren't,
needed now phosphorus is called a. Macro nutrient it's given

(13:55):
macro because the plant uses large amounts, of it so it.
Is needed but whether or not there's actually a deficiency in,
your soil there's a way you can, find, Out, RIGHT
yes i mean THIS is i hope people are sitting
down because it's just like if you go to your
doctor and there's a, you know you're not, feeling well

(14:17):
and one of the very first things they do in
fact you sometimes you can't get in to see a
doctor without having a blood test so they can take
a look at what you might. Be. Deficient in soil
tests are blood tests for. The soil they allow us
to learn do we have a, phosphorus efficiency do we
have a? Potassium, deficiency now you won't get nitrogen in

(14:41):
most soil tests because it moves too quickly through. The
soil but we know turf grass needs large amounts of
nitrogen because it's, always growing so we have to. Replace
that so two ways that we can, replace nitrogen phosphorus.
And potassium one is, finding out you know how much

(15:02):
fertilizer you might need to use if you have a
deficit that is highlighted by a. Soil test they're very easy.
To Do Doctor gary gallan myself many of You. Know
gary he's WITH a osu Hort And crop. Science department
HE and i and a few others who now retired
have or, left extension but we produced a sol testing

(15:26):
fact sheet back in. Twenty seventeen GARY and i are
in the process as we speak for updating that, fact.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Sheet which is it is, about, time yes because at
the end of the fact sheet we have a table
with various soil testing labs and how to, contact them
and of course the information, has changed so we need to.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Do that it's so easy to do a. Soil test
it's not very expensive at all compared to, the impact
and it does guide you on do you actually need
to correct let's say a. Phosphorus, deficit frankly in most
cases you don't now if you're in a home that's
been built where you know your, front yard the soil

(16:09):
in the front yard was originally under, the, basement right
and just. Move there so the soil has been moved around,
very often that soul is nutra. And deficient but the
soil test can help guide you in that direction and
you don't need to, JUST yeah i mean the fact
that most standard fertilizers don't, have phosphorus well you can

(16:30):
actually buy. Super phosphate you can actually correct that by making.
That application it's hard to, do though because it's a highly,
concentrated form and how do you run it through. A
spreader just use a little bit Of weigh just use
a little bit of a, common sense and you can
mix it in with a, standard, fertilizer right, you know

(16:52):
if you're going to put on, you know just again
it's nice to have instead of scales or something to.
Weigh that but the point being is you can do
that and mix, it well and. You can you can
then do one phosterus application and. You're done the next
thing is to use a mower that returns the clippings to,
the soil because that's where the. Phosphorus is it didn't

(17:15):
fly off into. The air and if you are returning
to clippings using a mulching mower some cult recycling mowers
that does a. Wonderful job as a matter, of fact
you can drop one application of nitrogen. Per year our
research has shown this over the years just by using a,
mulching mower which. Is tremendous. Of course the other THING

(17:38):
is mo High that i'm not talking about the more raise. That,
mower frankly in most you know, push mowers it's the.
Highest setting so we want to see two and a
half to three inches because the height of the turf
grass directly relates to the depth of the. Root system

(18:01):
when we, mow low that grass puts energy into growing
the top at the expense of. The roots so mo
high and, people, say WELL if i, MOW high i
have to mow. More often, You, know ron YOU, and
i that's. Not true we mow because the turf starts,
looking uneven and whether you're mowing high or, mowing low.

(18:24):
It grows it's the. Same rate don't look. UNEVEN now i, always, respond,
well yeah if you, mow low you won't have to
mows often because once the, grass dies you do have to.
Mow it that's a, LITTLE extreme, i realize but the
point being is that mowing high does not mean you mow,
more often but you, should mow particularly in the spring and.

(18:45):
THE fall a properly fertilized lawn a probably well a
lawn that has. SUFFICIENT nutrients i should say it, that
way because you may not need, to fertilize but a
lawn with sufficient nutrients in the spring and the fall
you might have to mo twice. A week they are
cool seasoned grasses and so, you know it. Is something

(19:09):
if you want a nice lawn deep roots to support
it through bad times like the heat of the summer,
or drought then it's BETTER to mohi and mo often
and get that soil tested so you can find out
do you have a deficit that you need to do,
Something about and you may find out. You don't you

(19:30):
don't really need to, apply that, you know the the other.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Macro nutrients you know what's FUNNY is i hit it
about it's about time on THAT because i keep that
soil test the pamphlet with me all. The time but
the labs that are, on there a lot of them
are not doing. That ANYMORE so i had to print
out a second list of labs that were still. Doing
it so the sheet itself and how to do it is.

(19:57):
Still great it was it was the the labs that
we're still. On There so i'm glad you guys are.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Updating, that Yeah and i'll tell you The turnaround Tom
Our Extension publication office is pretty tremendous at turning around
quickly updates because we're not going to be changing a lot. Of,
things yeah it's just that table needs to be updated
and that Should have that should happen pretty, pretty. Quickly frankly, so,

(20:22):
yeah look go to. Ohio line that's the source of our.
Fact sheets just one word ohio line and you can
find it in there under the horticulture tab and and
then learn how to.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Do it and by, the Way that's gary. Wild, grapes gal.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
You had, gary. On haven't I've.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Known gary for a long time, and YEAH and i
call them. Wild grapes and he'll.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Tell You what he is a great well he got
his PhD working on grape. Grape, expert, yeah excellent excellent resource.
For us, but yeah but don't. Let him don't tell.
Him that DON'T say i, said that, you know don't
keep that. Between YOU and. I, right well when he.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
When he gives, a talk like At the Home And,
GARDEN show i, always say go you'll. Love it you'll
laugh your, head off and he won't talk about what
his copy was supposed.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
To be.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
He starts laughing and, he, goes oh he goes all
over the Somewhat Like Buggy.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Joe Boggs, hey joe. Great information thank you. So much
we will talk to You. Next saturday you take.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Care of a. Great weekend ron.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right take, care bye, quick break we. Come back
phone lines are open for you at, eight hundred eight
hundred SIXTY ten wtv in here on news radio SIX.
Ten wtvn talking to your arning here on news radio
SIX ten wtvn eight two to one w tv and
is our number right to the yarning. Phone lines we Shall, Go, dave.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Dave, Good, morning yeah, good morning you?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Hear, me, okay, yes sir.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
OKAY yeah a question of out, cloning TREES and i did,
it once and it seemed to be a kind of
a hard method was cutting one inch of the bark
all the way around and wrapping that like with a
little plastic container full, of dirt maybe with root gross.
In there and. That works no other methods worked, for
me but that one kind of it took a little bit.

(22:20):
More effort do you have a better idea how to clone? A, TREE.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, i mean, you know they, take cuttings and the
cuttings are typically from the tip of, the growth so in,
other words they'll let the new growth come out and
just as it's it depends on, the tree but just
as they're starting to, harden off sometimes you have hardened.
Off cuttings sometimes there's semi hardened, off cuttings but once

(22:44):
the new growth is, fully extended you're usually only talking
cuttings that are about eight, inches long of which toward
the bottom of that you want one of, the nodes
one of the, leaf nodes because typically that's where you'll
wind up getting some of your roots coming out and
sticking a. Whole bunch so it takes multiple sticks and you'll,
you know rarely do you get one hundred, percent rooting but,

(23:07):
you know you do as many as. You can but
that's typically the way they'll. Do that, and yeah rooting hormone.
Is great what you're talking about is called, air layering
and it, does work but it takes a lot. Longer
time the thing that's good about it is that stays on,
the plant so that that that cutting stays, you know,
stays alive so it continues to stay on the plant

(23:28):
until it does. Root in so you're very successful doing it.
THAT way a lot of houseplants are done that way.
As well, but otherwise like in, the nurse, you know
they would actually be doing, tip cuttings hardwood cuttings and
putting the rooting home onar and then, you know sticking.
A bunch so if they would take starter trays and they,

(23:49):
you know if the tray was eighteen inches long and,
twelve wide they probably have thirty of them in there
to get. Them started once, they root take, them out
pot them up on. Their own so but that's the
way they would. Do it and again and the end
of the soil probably about an inch and a half
to two inches and then about four inches. On top
so they're pretty. Short.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Pieces okay, SO well i saw ones where you just
put it down like in a two liter bottle of
put a little bit of water in, the bottom and
the seal is the top and it's maybe a foot.
Tall PIECE and i tried it. That way it, didn't work,
YOU know i mean just stick it in the water
in a two liter bottle in. The sun you Know

(24:27):
what i'm.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Talking about, Oh yeah and, you know something like a
willow something like that would work in a situation, like
that but not all the Trees will and THAT'S why,
I say i think the six to eight inch cuttings in,
the soil some type of a nice loose. Potting soil
keep it evenly. Misted there that's typically your best way.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
To, Go okay i'll try it. THAT way i didn't
try it and dirt like that with a.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Smaller, piece yeah it's, shorter piece and use good potting
soil rather than straight top soil out of. The, ground.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Okay, potting soil that's not real soil ride, that's different.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's right it would be. A media it would be
like pete moss and vermiculite paralyites a little bit compost
that type.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Of, thing, Okay great i'll. Try that THANKS all i.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Appreciate it, All, right dave.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Good talking we did another. Quick break we come back
more to share with you coming up at the top of.
The Hour Doctor allen armidy's will be with us here
on news radio six TO Ten wtvn, oh yeah we're
talking To you ard here on news radio SIX.' TEN
wtvn and i do want to Thank, the Folks reiner
the reiner family And of course jason the manager and

(25:35):
all the crew Out At The Delaware Oakland Delaware Garden.
Center oakland nursery we Were there last saturday and always have.
A great time and they had. The white castles the
tradition carries On with The breakfast of champions with the
white castles and donuts and the. Hold on yards we
always have. A good time really. Nice garden center they,
just completely stocked great. PEOPLE stopping out a lot of
folks stopped, out say hello thank the gentleman for dropping

(25:59):
off his. Greenhouse grow tomatoes they were absolutely they. Were
perfect tomatoes they were beautiful, first of all and then secondly.
THEY tasted wonderful i sliced Those up on sunday and
had those. Out and there the name of the of
the Tomato. Was for anti it's especially grown. Tomato for,

(26:19):
greenhouses absolutely gorgeous beefy. SKIN was thick i mean it,
was really. Nice nice tomato so thank you. For, bringing
those also while, we were there a young lady came
up with a sample of a weed that keeps popping
up in her. Bed every year want to know. What
it was and we, were talking whatever and FOR some
reason i just barely, looked at it and from what,

(26:42):
SHE was, SAYING i said i think that might, be a,
Hindbit YOU know and i explained what to, do with,
hindbit et. Cetera et cetera and, AFTER she left, i kept,
THINKING you know i don't think, that was hindbit and
it kept it just, didn't feel right and it finally
dawned on me, what it WAS and so i tried,
to FIND her but i could. NOT find her i
don't know if she just left, It after this so
hopefully she's listening. To the show, if you are and you.

(27:03):
Brought that in, it's called mugwart and mugwart Is an interesting.
It's a perennial it's. Not an annual, first of all
it spreads with rhizomes. Under the ground it's hard to.
Get rid OF and now i understand what she. Was, talking,
about yeah basically you have to spray it with a non,
