Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp
from news talks ed be gardening with steel shaft Free,
autumn upgrades on Still's best sellers.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And a very good morning Root.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
How are you very good? Peter? This was an interesting story, Julie,
of course, immediately texted while I was in the car.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, rating you about not always wearing your ear muffs.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
No, I've played in a band too. That's basically a
totally bugget. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, and that'll do it, you know, And I just
found it. I mean I know this because I did
a university you know, around hearing and the way it works.
But that that idea that you know, you got sixteen
thousand of them, when you kill them, they're dead, right.
We're not frogs and we're not birds. Apparently frogs and
birds will regrow the cells in the ears that allow
(00:59):
them to hear. But neither you and I are a
frog nor.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
A bird, so not yet.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Well, you spent enough time with them, you've probably got
a few feathers sprouted somewhere, to.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Be quite honest, that's true. Yeah, that's another story. But
I do hear I do hear birds at certain areas
in certain what do you call it? Levels? Yes, I
can hear them quite well and I know who's who,
so there's something weird there. But but yeah, no, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Fantastic right out. We've got a full border, cause little
rip into it. Michael, good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Hey morning, guys. I've just put in some moss plants,
and I reckon four days after plant of them, they're
going to make it all. I've got all these little
yellow bugs all over them, just wondering whether I worry
about them or leave them alone.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Which plants are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Moss plants? Not my last one one plant?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Thank goodness. I was thinking about someone going out planting.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, I feel slip.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah yeah, that's all right, my friend. Okay, And the
yellow things you're talking about are usually at the top
of those plants, where the new growth is growing the
plant up, and those yellow things are known as aphits.
These are aphts that actually occur on these swan plants
and on other plants as well that in that same
group of plant family. Pain in the bum, but easy
(02:32):
to control. All you need is two fingers, a thumb
and a forefinger and squash the little buggers. And it's
called digital control.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Anyway to try and prevent them coming back or is
it just manual.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's a manual thing. If you look, if you use
a bit of nim oil, you can do that too.
But the problem is the caterpillars may not like that.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, but digital control. I've had it on my swan
plants too. I've had oh, I've had a couple of
dozen of them already. It's been fabulously busy at our place.
And they are They're very easy to squash, no problem
at all.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Quite satisfying to question.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah, yeah, when do the when do you typically find
the caterpillars start appearing on them?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Ah? When the when the mum The mum has laid eggs.
So as soon as you get in a butterfly coming
to your plant and laying eggs, you'll find that that's
when it all starts. They'll come out very slight, because
don't you your stone. I run out of time a
bit because normally these things finished about mid to late April.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
So it okay because what I was worried about was
obviously killing a caterpillar eggs, So how do I tell
what they are? Compared to the little yellow ones.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
The caterpillar eggs are smaller than those yellow a fits
and they are literally sticking to the plant. They don't move.
They are really quite small, but they're very easy to see.
Actually you'll see them.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Ok.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, thanks Michael, Michael, take care and right, good morning
to you.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Morning. Now, I've got a problem with the honey locus tree.
And it's I've got it's gone viral. Its rootstock. I'm
not sure what come up all over my front lawn
and it's even going to the neighbors. And I'm not
quite sure how to stop this.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Oh what so, so it's moving, it's it's it's going
too quick, too far, to to too far, too far
away from where you wanted.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Well, it's it's the rootstock of the tree, I think.
I mean, I trimmed it back in the winter to
cut it. You know, it's reduced by a couple of meters.
But it's it's it's coming up all over the front lawn.
There was from the seeds of the tree.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Or to be quite an I have I haven't really
grown gleditsia as we call it ever in my life,
so I don't know much about it. But if you
need to control it, I would suggest you prune it
as much as you can. If you think there are
new plants or new roots coming up from further away,
(05:26):
it could be either that they have seed it or
the roots are doing that, and I have no idea
which one is which. In this case, if you do
get them growing up, the best thing is to actually
get some good week killer and paint that onto the
new plants. And that means that you basically get rid
of them that way, and you might find that they're
(05:46):
just too far away. If it's, for instance, a case
of roots spreading, you might find that you can control
that reasonably well by just painting it on the root zone.
You don't need necessarily kill the old tree.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Hm.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I mean, that was what I was thinking of doing,
to be honest, because it seems like just got out
of control affected because it grows up sort of in
the the borders of the of the driveway and the
path and there's it's really gone to the paper's place,
and they're not too happy about it. So I was
thinking maybe that's the only remedy, because it's done a
(06:23):
little bit the previous years, but this time it's it's
just as it's gone viral. It's just and it's quite
They've got dawns on them on sort of the bottom
of the you know, the roots that are coming up
or what over there as well. But I can't believe
I'm how far spread.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, I think I am not sure if that is
the root spreading or the seed spreading. To be quite honest,
I don't know. I've never grown.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
To be honest, I think really.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, the other things. The other thing is to find
the root closer to the actual tree and and whack
it off and basically stop that spread from happening from
the tree itself. If that's the case, I would just
do a bit of digging if I were you.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
But both things.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Sorry, thank you all the very best to you.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Rick, take care and Rob, good morning to you.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Good morning. Hi. I bought from a nurseery a flowering
cherry tree and on Friday planted it on Saturday. And
it's like a really big hold of everything. I should.
But I noticed the leaves are actually look like they're
(07:37):
drying out and curling. Is that going to I think
there's going to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That sounds like that. That doesn't sound too great. If
these things are starting to curl and and and and
become really what do you call it? Hanging?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
And all that?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Is there a different in color as well.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
No, they're not actually hanging where they just curling and
watered the hell out of it. So I don't I
think that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I would never water the hell out of it, if
you get my drift. But yeah, it is obviously I
was going to ask you that water. Yeah, I'm sure
you did. Look, I'm I don't like that idea that
within a couple of days these things happen. I think
you should either take a photo, go back to the
place and see if they want the specimen back, because
that doesn't sound good to me at all.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
The other thing was should the leaves drop off? Do
you think that's I'm not gonna produce bumps and grow
again next year?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
They should do. But I don't think that the leaves
should be falling off or been dropped right now. This
is far too early in the season. If you go
April May, yes, no, no, yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Yeah, okay, I'll give them a rint because they're there
a long way away from me.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh yeah, that's but I would certainly go back to
the to the to the as I said the manufacturer, Yeah,
you gotta day.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It might be a case that sometimes, you know, trees
have a bit of a sock when they get transported.
But it sounds more than that, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, that's right, it's not. The curling is not a
good idea, and the dropping off is not a good idea.
That's absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
All right, radio, we'll come back more of your calls
straight after.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The break, doing other house and sorting the garden past
feed for a hand. The resident builder with Vita Wolfcare
Call eighty eight News Talks, end your news talks.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
He'd be rout climb passed with us and Darren. Good
morning to you.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Hey.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I have a double grasped nick green tree one side
of white fish one side the white side fronts and.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Head, huge grooves or crevices all.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
The way through them to the point that they were amatable.
And I thought it might have been left the water inconsistent, watery.
The orange fish ones were absolutely perfect, beautiful doings.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh gosh, that's strange. You would have expected them to
both have similar sort of symptoms. Yeah, that's yeah. You
might think my way of thinking too. Bum bum bum
and they and this is the first year they've done, this,
first year of fruiting, of for you, of fruiting a
(10:36):
new plant. Okay, look, it might it might be a
beginner's hazard in terms of, you know, oh gosh, we
have to do this blah blah blah blah. And when
the plant later on establishes itself a little bit better,
you might find it goes it goes away, if you like,
if you get my drift, because this is not normal
(10:57):
for yeah, exactly. I see. I thought you might have
got a different rootstock coming up that you shouldn't have.
But it's not, obviously, because it's a real ground that
is really doing its gig. Yeah, yeah, okay, oh gosh,
(11:18):
oh this is how about the the sun the side,
the side where the sun comes from. You know, it's
on one side. One is on one side, one is
on the other side. And if one side gets too
much sun, for instance, you might find that it dries
out too much and cracks.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Even I don't think that's the answer.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I am, I am really, I'm really reaching for a
for a good story, but I can't tell you. I
think it's a matter of time. I think you might
be better next year. I bet you all. I'd love
to know.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Let us know his time.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
I'm going to get Babu box put in so chased up.
But that's got her fine mysteria as an exterial mysteria.
Fine there, and that's going to have to be cut out.
And I thought that would be all right to put
in the bottom after visible boxes, but someone said no
(12:23):
because it could shoot.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
A wisteria.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Wisteria is one of those climbers and and things that
can go all over the place, that can go really
quick and fast and move. And that's the point, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Yeah, So if it's cut down and put in the
bottom after visible box, with that still shoot orrider to
the top, I would, well.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
If you don't you want to get rid of that wisteria,
don't you, Yes, yes, because because of its aggressive nature.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
It's going to be in the ride with the visible pot.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, I would. I would suggest to get rid of
it all right then, Yeah, honestly, because these things have
got no sense of humor, they'll come up everywhere.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Ben okay what I want?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah? Yeah you yeah, the good good feeling there, thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You have a all for conference and recycling, but that's
probably not the best solution. I mean, you know, if
you cut something down typically at home, chop it and
small pieces put in the compostment.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, exactly exactly, but not in this case.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Not as a garden. Uh Sam, good morning.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
On good morning to you.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
I'm just inquiring about my monarch cat pillars. I've got
think caterpillars and that even all the plants for beautivehicles,
but I'm finding some of them have been such dry,
guyed out and I have not seen any sign of
any paper was around at all, which I've had in
(14:05):
the pass taken the catapulars. But every time I find
a dead caterpillar on a branch, it a shield bag
near it. A shield bag.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I was just gonna ask you the brown shield bug
boom yep, got you, yep.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
And they do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yes, Yes, they suck. They suck caterpillars dry.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
Literally Yeah, I'm gonna say it with a skin Yep.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You're left with it. Okay. The best thing to do
is grab them when you can. So you this is
a visual scouting of what you do. Grab them when
you can and literally squashed them and take them out.
That's it.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Boom, I have I have been doing that, yes, but
I didn't realize that shield the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Yes they do. Yeah, it's called the brown the brown
shield bag. You've got it. You got the new enemy.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
There's your job for the day. Sam, enjoy it. Thank you, Sam,
Thank you very much. Lundad, good morning.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I just don't know how you get rid of sellas.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
There is a product called death to aug zealous. You
can get it in Yeah, death death do exzealous. I
think I've always liked that marketing term. It was very good.
It's it works reasonably well too. So there you go,
get some and and give it the good God. The
problem with exealos is there's many of them, of course,
(15:36):
many different species, and some have got these funny little
if you like, underground roots and systems that will really
spread them out. So do it as soon as you can.
Thank you so much, Thank you, Lindad.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Luck with it, hey, quick text, whitefly in the tunnel house,
use the spray no effect. Will they completely die over
the winter or will they survive and appear again in spring?
Us from lowers and laden.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You're asking the right person, because I put them in
my tunnel house too, right, so what and yes, yes,
what I do is I use on my especially for
my tomatoes that grow in the tunnel house, I use
nam oil and I spray that on the underside of
the leaves, on the top side of the leaves thoroughly,
(16:27):
and I do that every two or three weeks. And
the point is that if you do it that way,
you still get some of them surviving the winter, so
you'll have to do it next winter again. Honestly, it's
the only way to go. But if you keep it up,
as I said, every two weeks or so, yeah, it's
a good idea, it'll work. And the reason you have
to do it again and again and again is that
(16:51):
when you spray them, you don't kill the eggs for instance,
of the next generation, so you'll have to do it
again when those eggs hatch. Yeah, that's a recurring gig.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well, they call it regular maintenance. The right there is
a good morning to.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
You, our good morning, rude. I've a good quick. Hi,
I've got a good question. I have something called Lepardozania rasciana,
which is part of palm and psychat family. Now my
question is it's developed a cone in the middle and
(17:29):
I'm sure that it's the male or the female. But
my main question is the set growing rapidly in the
last few weeks, and I've googled. Some people say you
can remove it. It's tricky, but you can remove it,
but you must be very careful with how you remove it.
The other thing is other people say just leave it,
(17:49):
let it, let it do it off. Eventually it will
fall off. I don't know about that. I have tapped it,
so there's quite a lot of pollen insight. The thing
is I was thinking of moving a reason being it
does the leaves, the new leaves coming out. Of course,
a lot of its energy is basically going into the
(18:11):
cone itself, so a lot of the nutrients is in
the clone and the sticking the new leaves coming out,
the new leaves coming out of but skew. The look
a bit burnt on the tips, and that is obviously
because a lot of the nutrients is now going into
the phone. So what should I do? Should I just
leave it?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
So you say let it do its course, We've got
fifteen seconds through.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Normally those cones are removed. I would suggest you go
online and go to Tiki the Jury Garden things like that.
They've got them there, they know exactly what to do.
Ask one of the growers. Perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
All the very best to Theresa on that. Thank you
very much, sir. Have it tore lat week and we'll
talk to you nixt Sunday. Take care, most certainly we
have an awesome week.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, I think I am not sure if that is
the root spreading or the seed spreading. To be quite honest,
I don't know. I've never grown.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
To be honest, I think really.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, the other things. The other thing is to find
the root closer to the actual tree and and whack
it off and basically stop that spread from happening from
the tree itself. If that's the case, I would just
do a bit of digging if I were you.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
But both things.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Sorry, thank you all the very best to you.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Rick, take care and Rob, good morning to you.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Good morning. Hi. I bought from a nurseery a flowering
cherry tree and on Friday planted it on Saturday. And
it's like a really big hold of everything. I should.
But I noticed the leaves are actually look like they're
(07:37):
drying out and curling. Is that going to I think
there's going to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That sounds like that. That doesn't sound too great. If
these things are starting to curl and and and and
become really what do you call it? Hanging?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
And all that?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Is there a different in color as well.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
No, they're not actually hanging where they just curling and
watered the hell out of it. So I don't I
think that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I would never water the hell out of it, if
you get my drift. But yeah, it is obviously I
was going to ask you that water. Yeah, I'm sure
you did. Look, I'm I don't like that idea that
within a couple of days these things happen. I think
you should either take a photo, go back to the
place and see if they want the specimen back, because
that doesn't sound good to me at all.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
The other thing was should the leaves drop off? Do
you think that's I'm not gonna produce bumps and grow
again next year?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
They should do. But I don't think that the leaves
should be falling off or been dropped right now. This
is far too early in the season. If you go
April May, yes, no, no, yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Yeah, okay, I'll give them a rint because they're there
a long way away from me.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh yeah, that's but I would certainly go back to
the to the to the as I said the manufacturer, Yeah,
you gotta day.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It might be a case that sometimes, you know, trees
have a bit of a sock when they get transported.
But it sounds more than that, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, that's right, it's not. The curling is not a
good idea, and the dropping off is not a good idea.
That's absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
All right, radio, we'll come back more of your calls
straight after.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The break, doing other house and sorting the garden past
feed for a hand. The resident builder with Vita Wolfcare
Call eighty eight News Talks, end your news talks.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
He'd be rout climb passed with us and Darren. Good
morning to you.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Hey.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I have a double grasped nick green tree one side
of white fish one side the white side fronts and.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Head, huge grooves or crevices all.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
The way through them to the point that they were amatable.
And I thought it might have been left the water inconsistent, watery.
The orange fish ones were absolutely perfect, beautiful doings.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh gosh, that's strange. You would have expected them to
both have similar sort of symptoms. Yeah, that's yeah. You
might think my way of thinking too. Bum bum bum
and they and this is the first year they've done, this,
first year of fruiting, of for you, of fruiting a
(10:36):
new plant. Okay, look, it might it might be a
beginner's hazard in terms of, you know, oh gosh, we
have to do this blah blah blah blah. And when
the plant later on establishes itself a little bit better,
you might find it goes it goes away, if you like,
if you get my drift, because this is not normal
(10:57):
for yeah, exactly. I see. I thought you might have
got a different rootstock coming up that you shouldn't have.
But it's not, obviously, because it's a real ground that
is really doing its gig. Yeah, yeah, okay, oh gosh,
(11:18):
oh this is how about the the sun the side,
the side where the sun comes from. You know, it's
on one side. One is on one side, one is
on the other side. And if one side gets too
much sun, for instance, you might find that it dries
out too much and cracks.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Even I don't think that's the answer.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I am, I am really, I'm really reaching for a
for a good story, but I can't tell you. I
think it's a matter of time. I think you might
be better next year. I bet you all. I'd love
to know.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Let us know his time.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
I'm going to get Babu box put in so chased up.
But that's got her fine mysteria as an exterial mysteria.
Fine there, and that's going to have to be cut out.
And I thought that would be all right to put
in the bottom after visible boxes, but someone said no
(12:23):
because it could shoot.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
A wisteria.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Wisteria is one of those climbers and and things that
can go all over the place, that can go really
quick and fast and move. And that's the point, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Yeah, So if it's cut down and put in the
bottom after visible box, with that still shoot orrider to
the top, I would, well.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
If you don't you want to get rid of that wisteria,
don't you, Yes, yes, because because of its aggressive nature.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
It's going to be in the ride with the visible pot.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, I would. I would suggest to get rid of
it all right then, Yeah, honestly, because these things have
got no sense of humor, they'll come up everywhere.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Ben okay what I want?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah? Yeah you yeah, the good good feeling there, thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You have a all for conference and recycling, but that's
probably not the best solution. I mean, you know, if
you cut something down typically at home, chop it and
small pieces put in the compostment.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, exactly exactly, but not in this case.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Not as a garden. Uh Sam, good morning.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
On good morning to you.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
I'm just inquiring about my monarch cat pillars. I've got
think caterpillars and that even all the plants for beautivehicles,
but I'm finding some of them have been such dry,
guyed out and I have not seen any sign of
any paper was around at all, which I've had in
(14:05):
the pass taken the catapulars. But every time I find
a dead caterpillar on a branch, it a shield bag
near it. A shield bag.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I was just gonna ask you the brown shield bug
boom yep, got you, yep.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
And they do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yes, Yes, they suck. They suck caterpillars dry.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
Literally Yeah, I'm gonna say it with a skin Yep.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You're left with it. Okay. The best thing to do
is grab them when you can. So you this is
a visual scouting of what you do. Grab them when
you can and literally squashed them and take them out.
That's it.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Boom, I have I have been doing that, yes, but
I didn't realize that shield the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Yes they do. Yeah, it's called the brown the brown
shield bag. You've got it. You got the new enemy.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
There's your job for the day. Sam, enjoy it. Thank you, Sam,
Thank you very much. Lundad, good morning.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I just don't know how you get rid of sellas.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
There is a product called death to aug zealous. You
can get it in Yeah, death death do exzealous. I
think I've always liked that marketing term. It was very good.
It's it works reasonably well too. So there you go,
get some and and give it the good God. The
problem with exealos is there's many of them, of course,
(15:36):
many different species, and some have got these funny little
if you like, underground roots and systems that will really
spread them out. So do it as soon as you can.
Thank you so much, Thank you, Lindad.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Luck with it, hey, quick text, whitefly in the tunnel house,
use the spray no effect. Will they completely die over
the winter or will they survive and appear again in spring?
Us from lowers and laden.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You're asking the right person, because I put them in
my tunnel house too, right, so what and yes, yes,
what I do is I use on my especially for
my tomatoes that grow in the tunnel house, I use
nam oil and I spray that on the underside of
the leaves, on the top side of the leaves thoroughly,
(16:27):
and I do that every two or three weeks. And
the point is that if you do it that way,
you still get some of them surviving the winter, so
you'll have to do it next winter again. Honestly, it's
the only way to go. But if you keep it up,
as I said, every two weeks or so, yeah, it's
a good idea, it'll work. And the reason you have
to do it again and again and again is that
(16:51):
when you spray them, you don't kill the eggs for instance,
of the next generation, so you'll have to do it
again when those eggs hatch. Yeah, that's a recurring gig.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well, they call it regular maintenance. The right there is
a good morning to.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
You, our good morning, rude. I've a good quick. Hi,
I've got a good question. I have something called Lepardozania rasciana,
which is part of palm and psychat family. Now my
question is it's developed a cone in the middle and
(17:29):
I'm sure that it's the male or the female. But
my main question is the set growing rapidly in the
last few weeks, and I've googled. Some people say you
can remove it. It's tricky, but you can remove it,
but you must be very careful with how you remove it.
The other thing is other people say just leave it,
(17:49):
let it, let it do it off. Eventually it will
fall off. I don't know about that. I have tapped it,
so there's quite a lot of pollen insight. The thing
is I was thinking of moving a reason being it
does the leaves, the new leaves coming out. Of course,
a lot of its energy is basically going into the
(18:11):
cone itself, so a lot of the nutrients is in
the clone and the sticking the new leaves coming out,
the new leaves coming out of but skew. The look
a bit burnt on the tips, and that is obviously
because a lot of the nutrients is now going into
the phone. So what should I do? Should I just
leave it?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
So you say let it do its course, We've got
fifteen seconds through.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Normally those cones are removed. I would suggest you go
online and go to Tiki the Jury Garden things like that.
They've got them there, they know exactly what to do.
Ask one of the growers. Perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
All the very best to Theresa on that. Thank you
very much, sir. Have it tore lat week and we'll
talk to you nixt Sunday. Take care, most certainly we
have an awesome week.
