Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter Wolfcamp
from News Talks at B.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And A very good morning Read Good morning, Peter raised,
I raised here, mate.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You raced here. It's a nearly start for you, of course.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh it's very early. It's in the middle of the night. No,
don't worry, hey, Peter, I know we haven't got much
time to little things that I wanted to make a
point at. First of all, the tour company, I am
it looks like we are going to to the Old Island,
the Chathams, and Peter Fleming says there's still a few
seats left. So the door company, dot co, dot and
(00:45):
Z and I talked to Julia again about it. All
these wonderful things like the carvings and the trees and
the copying and all that nonsense is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous thing.
So go and have a call to the tour company
or ring them on eight hundred nine nine seven seven
eight eight. All you need to remember is nine seven
eight and double that nine nine seven seven eight eight
(01:07):
h eight hundred of course the talk company. So that's
one number two. That's for people that live in christ
churchs Illuminate is on and that is an amazing thing
in the Botannic Gardens. It actually has the whole area
of the Botannic Guards here in christ Chur its under
light and sound. It's an amazing experience. And it goes
on for another couple of weekends nic until it's all finished.
(01:31):
It is stunning. I should really send you some pictures
of it. You will not believe this. It is literally
UV lights and all sorts of colored lights and trees
are lit up. Boy, it is. It's huge. It's fifteen
bucks atrees. Nothing. Really.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
They had a similar thing here in Auckland a little
while ago and Takpuna for like four or five nights
just in a little urban park. It's not really much,
but it was all lit up and people could go
in their food trucks and it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's it. Yeah, similar thing, and yeah, this is another one.
And of course the next one is in Timuru in September.
Little ah. Yeah, so they're on the on the road
drop made in New Zealand, made you know, by by
those people that do this sort of stuff. It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's cool stuff, right, yeah, right, let's rip into it.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Bill. Good morning, Yes, killer guys, rude, I got. I've
had these little insects appearing on the windowsill in the kitchen.
They're black, they've got wings, and they're they're quite small,
and they're probably maybe the shape of a of a
lady bird, the ladybug. And they yeah, lots more. Yeah.
(02:45):
They appeared two or three days after my wife had
parted a couple of parsley plants and put them on
the window sill. So we removed them well over two
weeks ago, but these things are still coming now. Four
days ago there were three little lnts crawling up the window.
Now I'm wondering whether the ants on the wing getting in.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
No, not at this time of the year. But I
must say that a lot of people in christ here
and including us on the porthills, we've got these same
little black things. I haven't identified them, but I reckon
these things are related to two things, organic material and
moist conditions. You know, we've had quite a bit of rain,
and that's number one. So the gardens are still very
(03:31):
very wet, and the organic material in the gardens are
basically the good food for the literally the tiny maggots
that produce those black little flies. I don't think they
are of any major concern for you or your plants
or anything like that. And the best thing to do
is to if you really want to get rid of them,
and they go into your nostrils at night, just give
(03:52):
them away.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
How do they get into the house though the windows
all sealed.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They are amazing people that they They're brilliant with their keys.
They've got keys through place right. Honestly, they go to
the smallest, the smallest point in your house and.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Give them a black flag. God or God.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I was just going to say, mister and missus, black
flag would work, and then all this stuff from waiting
and forget you know, the the whatever you know, saurs
they've got for for insects, inspiders and all that. Easy.
It's a residual where you go easy.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
All the good.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Thanks mate, take care then, yes, mystery right, don't can
talk to me about Bora.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh good morning, Jims. I was very interested in your
show last week when you went through the board. I
did miss the weave.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Whatever.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, I've got a borer and weatherboard. Now I question is.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Do I need to mentioned I ear asoul? Okay, truly?
What that's so good?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Do I need to send back the weather boards to
be a wood before I put the spray on, or
can I put on?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You don't need to do that, but the are you
going attending to spray this on the outside of the building.
Well then I was yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me, is
that outside of the building on in a sunny position?
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Some of it there thing and some of it's north
so okay.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well, the problem with with some of the residual insecticides,
like permethrine is and permethrine is the active ingredient of
the stuff that I mentioned, is that in sunny conditions
you'll find that it doesn't last as long as in
shady conditions. So so you you give it a second
go you do maybe maybe do it once every month.
(05:45):
So do it once towards the beginning of or the
end of October. Say let's say mid October. Give it
a wick at mid October if it's in the sun,
do it again in mid November.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Right, Oh, let's go, get me standing a bed. There
you go, because I've.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Been ejecting the whole and you said you don't do
that either, No.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
No, don't. You don't have to inject the holes because
the holes is not what you're worri is the holes
is not where they come out of. They've already come
out last year, hence the holes. So they will make
their own new holes. But you need to actually spray
the boards because one they come out and make the holes,
they chew that that toxic permethrone to make the hole,
(06:31):
and that kills them before they even have a chance
of looking for a girlfriend and mate work there, And
what you need to know is the word sorry. What
you need to know is safe works safe the company.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Also you and me both I think duncan. Thanks for
the reminder. We'll both be out there waging war against
the borer. And Roger, very good morning to you.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Roger.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What can we do?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Roger, I'm making seaweed I've got so you help, and
I'm putting into a hand and put it for a
gun drum. There's one hundred and sixty piece of drum.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
A half for.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Now. Do I need to read it more?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
So?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Way to it?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I would only do that after you have put that
stuff on the plants or on the ground or in
the particular beds where you need it to go, so
you you lit so as long as that doesn't you
can do that anytime really, But the point is that
I wouldn't mix it in the water and do it
that way. Just get rid of the seaweed the way
you do it normally, and then put some sulfate of
(07:47):
potash after that you've done it on the top of that,
and you will find it'll mix itself up when it
needs well.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
When I put the half of the drum and a
half of water and it sits there for six months now,
when I used it, I would dilute about eight to
one and put it in just before rain. But whether
if I put a us before into the concentrate you
just leave there, will that be necessary?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, you can put it on before you put it well,
as I said, you can either do it after you've
put it on as a liquid over your of your gun,
or before you put it on as a liquid over
your gun. You've put a self made of podist separately
because you can control it better in terms of quantity.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Oh yes, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, good good question though. Thank you, Roger, thank here,
aye bye.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All the very best in Roger, thank you very much
for that. And Sandra, good morning.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I've got a problem with the dear old guavamov. Now
I'm only my mature trees, my apple, my feedro and
my mandarin magnificent crops this year. I don't think I
got one mandarin that wasn't infected, worn out and brought
myself some traps. I'm just you know, when do I
(09:07):
it doesn't actually say on them, when do I set
up the squav moth trap? And how many aps do
I put through that through my yard?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I so so in so these are so? These are
what mandarins? And what else? Did you say?
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Androin? Apple and c Joel were the trees that were
really devastated. I have used those homemade ones that you
see online that you mix up the apple side of
vinegar and brown sugar and bleach and things like that.
And by crikey, I've caught all sorts of bugs with that.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But and and you know what you didn't catch.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Yeah, probably codling mothia.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Its exactly guava moth and codly moth. That's really not
the way to go about it. No, no, absolutely not
in your case. If it is guava moth, and you
gotta you gotta see if you can identify that by
catching some of these things at some stage. But if
it is guaver moth, I would use a very fine
netting over your plants.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Oh, this is these are big trees.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
There you go trouble. That's trouble. Honestly, there are for instance,
there are very few things that you can use in
this case. Apart from stopping them getting into your plants
or onto your plants, there is very very little you
can do about it. The rest really doesn't work that well,
to be quite.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Honest, And even these really not that good.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, it isn't. No, it isn't really because they'll go
for it. I know. For instance, if you use all
sorts of things like yates, what's it called success? You
can use success and spray that onto your plants as
they develop, you only get about fifty percent ratio of
actually success in terms of which it's not a success's fault.
(10:49):
That's the guavamal's fault.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
When would you start spraying.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Success when your fruit is ripening? So before that starts ripening,
if you lie before it's ripe, yeah, yeah, yeah, once
every two weeks go boom, just two weeks.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Is there anything I can do at the moment?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Have you got fruit already developing?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
No?
Speaker 7 (11:17):
But they you know they talk just reading on the
back of traps that they say, you know, you're sorry
cat's trying to join them.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Do you like cats?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I'm not going to say that that's good. We used
to have a cat, Peter, You're safe in my hands.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Now, how long would you be having this knet over the.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Trees from the moment these things that you know, from
the moment your trees are actually starting to make small fruit,
you know, they're starting to become they're starting to grow,
if you like. That is when these guave moths will
lay their eggs on your developing fruit. So that's the time,
and it's for certain fruits at different time, you know
(12:16):
than other fruits, if you like. Terms of apples, mandarins,
mandarins should have been done before they became mandarins. And
that was six months ago, five months ago, yeah, four
months ago.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Maybe that was normally absolutely beautiful crops of fruit. Yeah,
and mandarin's falling off all over the place and just
really almost didn't happen this year, which is normally a mazing.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Fijas are a very much a wanted host for this
particular guava moth because the guava is of course related
to the.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Good luck with that, Sandra, take care. We need to
take a break. We'll be back in a moment. Right
Own News talks with us just a couple of minutes
to go.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Vern greetings, Thanks for pretty much this great gardening show.
Helpful on people the veggies and fruit and do their
building work. That's what we need in this country.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
We certainly do. You're absolutely right. Tell me about you.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
Yeah, that that driveway last week. You had a lady
on about that plant. That horrible sort of rubbery. I
don't know what it was called, that nobody can get
rid of.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's not stock. And somebody actually sent a message through
the Hey, that was me. I didn't tell me, yes,
and I forgot to write it down, so my brain
is not working anymore. Tell me what you use against I.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Tried a lot of I tried a lot of herbicides.
I read nothing work. But then I tried one thing
and that does thing to work, and that's common old Bleach.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yes, that was you, good man Bleach.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Right.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
I just allowed to say brand names or not.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
No, well, you can say brand names, you go.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
On, Yanola, just bring and ganola. I didn't dilute it
down or anything. Right, it just is it as a concentrate,
and I waited until after a rain when it opens up,
you know in the whatever it's called. Yes, opens up
on the driveway. Yes, and the mush. It works really well. Yeah,
(14:22):
you might need to give it, give it a couple
of blasts, but usually after one blast it all turns
to mush and gets rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Absolutely. Okay, I'm going to I have not I've not
managed to find anything like this working. Thank you for that.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
This great bleach works for Bleach'll do it.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Awesome, thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And do it after it rains. That's such a clever
idea because that's when it's open.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And I'm thirsty. Give me a drink, right, Helen greet things.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
Oh hello there, listen. I've got silverfish running around sort
of being chowing up in my house. I've never seen
a silverfish for yonkers. Where did I live? And were
did I come from?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, they go for all sorts of little bits and pieces,
usually when there's a little bit of moisture and a
little bit of fungal material in your house, on the
underside of the house quite often, but also in if
you like wet areas, or moist areas in your bedrooms
and kitchens and things like that. Oh okay, usually not
of a major concern. But that's stuff that I mentioned
(15:24):
from safe Works, which is an insect see that is
a residual insecticide from Kellington Haven. Don't worry. If you
go to safe Works, find them wherever they are near you.
You'll find that they have a really nice aerosol can
that you can spray on the areas where you get
those little buggers to go and they will not like it.
(15:46):
They will not survive it if you spray it.
Speaker 10 (15:48):
I've been using you know, fly spray and stuff wisdom.
But where did I miss? Where did I live in it?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
In very nice dark nooks and crannies where you never
go with your eyes.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
Oh o oh, well, thank you very much for that.
I will do that and go to what is the place?
What's the name?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Safe safe works? Works? Is insane an X in the
next safe works one word, you'll find them.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
Okay, thank you very much, Drew. You have a good
day then bye bye, Thank.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
You very much.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Helen and Martin Lucky last talk to me about Fijars.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Good morning, gentlemen. Thanks to this. Yeah, just fertilizing fijas. Yeah,
I had a really good cop as I've had for
a few years but are extremely small. Last year. Yeah,
and my daughter who's never had any interesting guard and
all of a sudden's got a guard and increased me
on what fertilizer? Right?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, exactly exactly, No, this is it. Go do your wedding.
Forget shop and get yourself some sea weed tea. One
word sea weed tea. So there is a liquid fertilizer
that you can actually dilute until it looks like a
very weak tea if you like, and you literally I
(17:07):
don't put it on the on the hose like it
should like you can do as well, like if you
want to do a whole orchard, but you just give
it a little bit in some in a in a
sprayer or in yeah, in a watering can the seaweed
tea and make it that wonderful light brown consistency. You'll
find that if you do that once every two or
three weeks from the moment it starts to flower. Now
(17:30):
get that that is going to be later this year
in November. You will get absolutely wonderful fo seaweed tea.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Wet and forget so I had I had you Google check.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Don't go to chet g GP. It's not even I
don't even go to chet gg. But never mind, you
better ring here. Mate, Hey, we gotta go. We gotta
go to that rugby.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You take care now, we actually have just on a
one minute. Can someone ticks through looking for bird feeder
recipes or bird feeder for the tooyes?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Ah? Yes, the peckup pecker bird feeder is a very
good one peckup pecker bird feeder. And basically what you
do is you give it. You can put the what
do you call sugar water in there in a reasonably
dense concoction, and boy, not Dewey, but bellbirds at my
place and simpri are just going for it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Awesome, right, I might get onto that as well, because
that the tooy's in the trees at the moment. The conversations,
it's just delightful, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And when they know where you're a pecker pecker or
other hard feed there's all sorts of things where they are.
They'll come back and they will, especially Dewey, they will
throw everybody out of their territory. They are so amazingly mean.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh that's fantastic and just a quick one too, because
someone else has text about fruit trees with buds on it?
Do I spray?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Can I still prune my plum tree, which I know
I should have done ages ago, but I haven't. I've
been busy.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Is it too late? I? Yes, you can. Well, no,
I wouldn't because I've seen one of my plumps already
getting getting buds.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Are going to do that?
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
That gives me a free afternoon. Thanks Rude, that's awesome.
Take care all the best, and folks enjoyed the rugby.

like permethrine is and permethrine is the active ingredient of
the stuff that I mentioned, is that in sunny conditions
you'll find that it doesn't last as long as in
shady conditions. So so you you give it a second
go you do maybe maybe do it once every month.
(05:45):
So do it once towards the beginning of or the
end of October. Say let's say mid October. Give it
a wick at mid October if it's in the sun,
do it again in mid November.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Right, Oh, let's go, get me standing a bed. There
you go, because I've.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Been ejecting the whole and you said you don't do
that either, No.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
No, don't. You don't have to inject the holes because
the holes is not what you're worri is the holes
is not where they come out of. They've already come
out last year, hence the holes. So they will make
their own new holes. But you need to actually spray
the boards because one they come out and make the holes,
they chew that that toxic permethrone to make the hole,
(06:31):
and that kills them before they even have a chance
of looking for a girlfriend and mate work there, And
what you need to know is the word sorry. What
you need to know is safe works safe the company.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Also you and me both I think duncan. Thanks for
the reminder. We'll both be out there waging war against
the borer. And Roger, very good morning to you.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Roger.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What can we do?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Roger, I'm making seaweed I've got so you help, and
I'm putting into a hand and put it for a
gun drum. There's one hundred and sixty piece of drum.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
A half for.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Now. Do I need to read it more?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
So?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Way to it?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I would only do that after you have put that
stuff on the plants or on the ground or in
the particular beds where you need it to go, so
you you lit so as long as that doesn't you
can do that anytime really, But the point is that
I wouldn't mix it in the water and do it
that way. Just get rid of the seaweed the way
you do it normally, and then put some sulfate of
(07:47):
potash after that you've done it on the top of that,
and you will find it'll mix itself up when it
needs well.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
When I put the half of the drum and a
half of water and it sits there for six months now,
when I used it, I would dilute about eight to
one and put it in just before rain. But whether
if I put a us before into the concentrate you
just leave there, will that be necessary?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, you can put it on before you put it well,
as I said, you can either do it after you've
put it on as a liquid over your of your gun,
or before you put it on as a liquid over
your gun. You've put a self made of podist separately
because you can control it better in terms of quantity.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Oh yes, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, good good question though. Thank you, Roger, thank here,
aye bye.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All the very best in Roger, thank you very much
for that. And Sandra, good morning.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I've got a problem with the dear old guavamov. Now
I'm only my mature trees, my apple, my feedro and
my mandarin magnificent crops this year. I don't think I
got one mandarin that wasn't infected, worn out and brought
myself some traps. I'm just you know, when do I
(09:07):
it doesn't actually say on them, when do I set
up the squav moth trap? And how many aps do
I put through that through my yard?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I so so in so these are so? These are
what mandarins? And what else? Did you say?
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Androin? Apple and c Joel were the trees that were
really devastated. I have used those homemade ones that you
see online that you mix up the apple side of
vinegar and brown sugar and bleach and things like that.
And by crikey, I've caught all sorts of bugs with that.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But and and you know what you didn't catch.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Yeah, probably codling mothia.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Its exactly guava moth and codly moth. That's really not
the way to go about it. No, no, absolutely not
in your case. If it is guava moth, and you
gotta you gotta see if you can identify that by
catching some of these things at some stage. But if
it is guaver moth, I would use a very fine
netting over your plants.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Oh, this is these are big trees.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
There you go trouble. That's trouble. Honestly, there are for instance,
there are very few things that you can use in
this case. Apart from stopping them getting into your plants
or onto your plants, there is very very little you
can do about it. The rest really doesn't work that well,
to be quite.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Honest, And even these really not that good.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, it isn't. No, it isn't really because they'll go
for it. I know. For instance, if you use all
sorts of things like yates, what's it called success? You
can use success and spray that onto your plants as
they develop, you only get about fifty percent ratio of
actually success in terms of which it's not a success's fault.
(10:49):
That's the guavamal's fault.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
When would you start spraying.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Success when your fruit is ripening? So before that starts ripening,
if you lie before it's ripe, yeah, yeah, yeah, once
every two weeks go boom, just two weeks.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Is there anything I can do at the moment?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Have you got fruit already developing?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
No?
Speaker 7 (11:17):
But they you know they talk just reading on the
back of traps that they say, you know, you're sorry
cat's trying to join them.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Do you like cats?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I'm not going to say that that's good. We used
to have a cat, Peter, You're safe in my hands.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Now, how long would you be having this knet over the.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Trees from the moment these things that you know, from
the moment your trees are actually starting to make small fruit,
you know, they're starting to become they're starting to grow,
if you like. That is when these guave moths will
lay their eggs on your developing fruit. So that's the time,
and it's for certain fruits at different time, you know
(12:16):
than other fruits, if you like. Terms of apples, mandarins,
mandarins should have been done before they became mandarins. And
that was six months ago, five months ago, yeah, four
months ago.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Maybe that was normally absolutely beautiful crops of fruit. Yeah,
and mandarin's falling off all over the place and just
really almost didn't happen this year, which is normally a mazing.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Fijas are a very much a wanted host for this
particular guava moth because the guava is of course related
to the.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Good luck with that, Sandra, take care. We need to
take a break. We'll be back in a moment. Right
Own News talks with us just a couple of minutes
to go.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Vern greetings, Thanks for pretty much this great gardening show.
Helpful on people the veggies and fruit and do their
building work. That's what we need in this country.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
We certainly do. You're absolutely right. Tell me about you.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
Yeah, that that driveway last week. You had a lady
on about that plant. That horrible sort of rubbery. I
don't know what it was called, that nobody can get
rid of.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's not stock. And somebody actually sent a message through
the Hey, that was me. I didn't tell me, yes,
and I forgot to write it down, so my brain
is not working anymore. Tell me what you use against I.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Tried a lot of I tried a lot of herbicides.
I read nothing work. But then I tried one thing
and that does thing to work, and that's common old Bleach.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yes, that was you, good man Bleach.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Right.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
I just allowed to say brand names or not.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
No, well, you can say brand names, you go.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
On, Yanola, just bring and ganola. I didn't dilute it
down or anything. Right, it just is it as a concentrate,
and I waited until after a rain when it opens up,
you know in the whatever it's called. Yes, opens up
on the driveway. Yes, and the mush. It works really well. Yeah,
(14:22):
you might need to give it, give it a couple
of blasts, but usually after one blast it all turns
to mush and gets rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Absolutely. Okay, I'm going to I have not I've not
managed to find anything like this working. Thank you for that.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
This great bleach works for Bleach'll do it.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Awesome, thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And do it after it rains. That's such a clever
idea because that's when it's open.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And I'm thirsty. Give me a drink, right, Helen greet things.
Speaker 10 (14:51):
Oh hello there, listen. I've got silverfish running around sort
of being chowing up in my house. I've never seen
a silverfish for yonkers. Where did I live? And were
did I come from?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, they go for all sorts of little bits and pieces,
usually when there's a little bit of moisture and a
little bit of fungal material in your house, on the
underside of the house quite often, but also in if
you like wet areas, or moist areas in your bedrooms
and kitchens and things like that. Oh okay, usually not
of a major concern. But that's stuff that I mentioned
(15:24):
from safe Works, which is an insect see that is
a residual insecticide from Kellington Haven. Don't worry. If you
go to safe Works, find them wherever they are near you.
You'll find that they have a really nice aerosol can
that you can spray on the areas where you get
those little buggers to go and they will not like it.
(15:46):
They will not survive it if you spray it.
Speaker 10 (15:48):
I've been using you know, fly spray and stuff wisdom.
But where did I miss? Where did I live in it?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
In very nice dark nooks and crannies where you never
go with your eyes.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
Oh o oh, well, thank you very much for that.
I will do that and go to what is the place?
What's the name?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Safe safe works? Works? Is insane an X in the
next safe works one word, you'll find them.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
Okay, thank you very much, Drew. You have a good
day then bye bye, Thank.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
You very much.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Helen and Martin Lucky last talk to me about Fijars.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Good morning, gentlemen. Thanks to this. Yeah, just fertilizing fijas. Yeah,
I had a really good cop as I've had for
a few years but are extremely small. Last year. Yeah,
and my daughter who's never had any interesting guard and
all of a sudden's got a guard and increased me
on what fertilizer? Right?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, exactly exactly, No, this is it. Go do your wedding.
Forget shop and get yourself some sea weed tea. One
word sea weed tea. So there is a liquid fertilizer
that you can actually dilute until it looks like a
very weak tea if you like, and you literally I
(17:07):
don't put it on the on the hose like it
should like you can do as well, like if you
want to do a whole orchard, but you just give
it a little bit in some in a in a
sprayer or in yeah, in a watering can the seaweed
tea and make it that wonderful light brown consistency. You'll
find that if you do that once every two or
three weeks from the moment it starts to flower. Now
(17:30):
get that that is going to be later this year
in November. You will get absolutely wonderful fo seaweed tea.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Wet and forget so I had I had you Google check.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Don't go to chet g GP. It's not even I
don't even go to chet gg. But never mind, you
better ring here. Mate, Hey, we gotta go. We gotta
go to that rugby.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You take care now, we actually have just on a
one minute. Can someone ticks through looking for bird feeder
recipes or bird feeder for the tooyes?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Ah? Yes, the peckup pecker bird feeder is a very
good one peckup pecker bird feeder. And basically what you
do is you give it. You can put the what
do you call sugar water in there in a reasonably
dense concoction, and boy, not Dewey, but bellbirds at my
place and simpri are just going for it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Awesome, right, I might get onto that as well, because
that the tooy's in the trees at the moment. The conversations,
it's just delightful, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And when they know where you're a pecker pecker or
other hard feed there's all sorts of things where they are.
They'll come back and they will, especially Dewey, they will
throw everybody out of their territory. They are so amazingly mean.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh that's fantastic and just a quick one too, because
someone else has text about fruit trees with buds on it?
Do I spray?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Now?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Can I still prune my plum tree, which I know
I should have done ages ago, but I haven't. I've
been busy.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Is it too late? I? Yes, you can. Well, no,
I wouldn't because I've seen one of my plumps already
getting getting buds.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Are going to do that?
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
That gives me a free afternoon. Thanks Rude, that's awesome.
Take care all the best, and folks enjoyed the rugby.
