Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Katie r. H. Garden Line with Skip Richter shoes.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
The crazy bringing in the bassies like gas.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You can use a shrimp.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Just watch him as whom god gassia gas begin you

bay bringing the basses like gas. And again you damos
gubos back kicking. They're not a sign the glasses and gas.

(00:35):
Sun bemon down between the gassies and gas.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Can you.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
First starting and treating.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
The gases like gas?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Became you d Everything is so cool and see and.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
I didn't find my cockey cut looking all over my desk.
Everything piled up the studio here. That was almost a tragedy. Anyway,
I'm here.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I found it.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
All is well. Good morning, welcome to garden Line. Good
to have you with us this morning. Congratulations to all
you bright eyed, bushy tailed early birds. Glad you're with us. Hey,
if you want to give me a call today, please
do so. All you gotta do is all seven one three,
two one two five eight seven four. We'll talk about
the things that are interesting to you, the things questions

(01:29):
that you might have regarding your gardening. Let's help you
have success and let's help you have fun. That's what
we're doing here on Guarden Line and we look forward
to doing that.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Nitrofoss has their three step and I've been talking about
it this fall because it is It is the series
of products that you put out in the fall in
order to make sure your lawn is in its best shape,
make sure the diseases are held in check, like brown patch,
the big large patch, the circles out there in the
cool season, and to make sure that the weeds that

(02:02):
are going to be a problem for your next spring
never have a chance to see the light of day
as they try to sprout. They never get a chance
to establish a weed plant. And those three products are
Nitroposs Fall Special, the Winter Riser, Nitrovoss Barricade, the weed
prevent and Nitrofas Eagle turf fungicized this disease prevent. You're

(02:24):
going to find products like this at Lake Hardware and
Clute at Fisher's Hardware done in Baytown or Plants and
Things up in Brenham, just three of many places that
carry the complete line of night Foss products, including these
very important for the fall Nitrofas three step items. We're
going to go out and out of the phones, and
this morning start with Keith and Cypress. Hey Keith, welcome

(02:47):
to garden Line.

Speaker 7 (02:49):
Good morning. How are you today?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm good. How are things in cypress?

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well have an acid problem?

Speaker 7 (03:01):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Oh okay, all right? Uh do you see them on
the undersides of the leaves or what? What where are
you seeing?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I haven't really looked underneath there.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I mean I've got black sooty mold on my crapes.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Okay, well you it could be if it's it also
could be crape myrtle bark scale. Uh if you if
What I need you to do is look on the
trunks of the plants where you see black city trunks,
and look for little white things in the trunk. I
mean talking about the size of a like a lowercase

(03:38):
typed letter O. You know, just a really small thing
like that, half the size of a BB or smaller.
And if you see that, that's crepe myrtle bark scale.
The way we fight it is by putting product into
the plumbing of the plant.

Speaker 8 (03:56):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
It's insects. Side.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
You drench on the ground, the root take it up
and they move it up in the plant and anything
sucking juices out of the roots.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
It will kill them.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
That includes aphids, and that includes crape myrtle bark scale,
and so that's the more effective way to go. Normally,
with scales, we just spray oils on them, but for
some reason in the research they've tried, it just doesn't.
It's not as thorough and as effective as doing the
systemic in there. But if that is the case, that

(04:26):
you do have scale, that's what I would suspect is
the main problem. Although a fitz can create city mool,
then you need to do it at a time when
the sap is pulling, when the plants pulling stuff up
out of the roots and sending it to the top.
And as these crape myrtles are in you and fall,
they're kind of stopping that. You know, they're dropping their leaves,
shutting things down, and you're not getting that flow. So

(04:49):
you could try doing it now. I don't know how
much would move up in there, but you could also
start that in the spring as the new growth begins
to appear.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
First thing you.

Speaker 9 (05:02):
Mentioned oils, I read somewhere where that could affect.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
The like the bees, not so much the oils, not
really the oils, but the systemics can the reason that,
you know, if you put them down now, it's a
it's a long time for a crape. Murals have blooms
on them, and if you did it early in the spring,
you could help avoid some of that. You know, crapes

(05:26):
want to start blooming once we really kind of warm
up pretty good. Uh, And so getting it on you know,
let's say early or sometime early March, so the plants
could begin taking it up. That would at least give
you a little bit of a window there. The alternative
to that is watching for when the scale crawlers are out.

(05:48):
Most people don't want to go to the trouble of that,
and then applying a contact insecticide on the surfaces when
the crawlers are starting to move, and that's going to
be sometime in March or April.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Okay, do you have any product suggestions.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
For the latter approach spring on the c BO for both?

Speaker 7 (06:10):
For both?

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, for the first one, there's there's really two products
on the market for homeowners. One is a Mido cloapred
and it's in a lot of things. It's even in
some grub control products. But you just need to follow
the label, you know, being there in the Cypress area.
You've got some nice a hardware stores near you.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
You've also got places like punch Well, Seasons and Arborgate
up in the Tomball area that you can go to
and just do you just set to ask for one
that has my cloth.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Excuse me?

Speaker 5 (06:46):
I mido cloprid I am I d O is the
first few letters. It's the only thing that begins with
those letters. I am I d d o A midoh.
The other one is think of dinosaurs d I n
O dino teferon di n o dino. Those two systemic insecticides,
either one drenched on the soil according to label, will

(07:06):
do it.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
If you're going to do the the.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
Treatment for the crawlers, oil at that time could help
you know doing it carefully on it the tissues because
sometimes we will convern tissues when they're tender, or just
a general purpose insecticide sprayed on the surface of the trunks,
but coverage is critical for oils or the other the

(07:28):
ladder treatment where you're just trying to get the crawlers.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
If you want to go to some trouble.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Keith, I'm kind of sensing you you'd like to stay
away from systemic chemicals if you could that.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
If that's the case, you get some double sided tape.
Here we go.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
It's not going to be most people won't do this,
but you can get double sided tape. Put it around
those branches starting in March and go out of a
few days and look at it, and you'll see the
little tiny crawlers caught in there because they're they're moving.

Speaker 9 (07:57):
Put it.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Put it where you see the little white specs, the
scale specs. Uh, and you have to you may have
to replace it. Well, you will have to put some
fresh on about every oh maybe four or five days
because it's going to get dust on it and no
longer capture scale. But when you see the scale little
tiny crawlers in there, that's when you do your treatment
because that's that's when they are most susceptible.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
All right, sir, Okay, yes, sir, good luck.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
One last question. What about a soapy spray.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
On the crawlers that would work on the young crawlers,
that would also work. Yeah, you again, I got to
give them a bath in it.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Soap. Soap's not a poison. Okay, okay, all right, Keith
good Luck. Let me know how that goes. You, thank you,
thank you, you bet you bet.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
All right, folks, we're going to run to a break here.
We got some people woke up early. Ron and Magnolia,
Bill and Galveston. You will be our first two up.

Speaker 6 (08:53):

Let's go now to Bill in Galveston. Hey Bill, Welcome
to garden Line.

Speaker 7 (11:09):
Oh how are you today? Good?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Thank you here here with me?

Speaker 10 (11:15):
Yes, sir, I sent you, I sent you an email.
I did what you told me about about the root rod.
I put down the disease ex manuals earlier this week,
and I put yesterday morning and put down the liquid iron.
And so I'm considering several things here. First of all,
putting us putting that compost top dressing on the entire lawn.
But my question is do I do that to the

(11:37):
entire lawn and then put the peat moss on top
of that, or do I do pete mos only over
the root ride area and do compoxt doctors for the
rest of it. And in that I was going to
do the barricade, and then then the fertilization. Is there
a particular order you do that in? And and so
I do that before I do the top dressing or

(11:58):
the cop or the or the pete.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Most okay, so I would I would do the barricade
first and then watered in with about a half inch
of water so that it gets into the soil where
ald the weeds seeds are going to be on the
surface there. Then I would do the peat moss and
just a light watering to kind of settle that down

(12:21):
in there. If you wanted to put a compost top
dressing on top of the peat moss, you could, but
for now you might want to just hold with the
peat moss because that's going to be about a third
of an inch deep, which is like a compost top dressing,
and you want that peat moss to be around the
runners of the grass, you know, settled into the soil.
So just a light watering to move that dusty peat

(12:42):
material down in there on the soil surface around the runners.
I would do that first. And if you don't do
a compost top dressing at some time, you can certainly
do that, but I don't want that to get in
the way of that acidic peat moss from being around
the runners and whatnot.

Speaker 10 (12:59):
The us all right, okay, so I should hold off
on the on the compost top dressing for the rest alone.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Then I would for now because you're dealing with the
takeof root rod and kind of use pete moss. That's
the only reason. Otherwise it's always a good time to
do compost top dressing.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (13:16):
Then then when do I fertilize?

Speaker 5 (13:20):
Uh well, okay, so the fertilizer would go down when
the weed control went down, so that when you water,
the weed control in the fertilizer gets watered into.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Okay, all right, that takes sure what I needed.

Speaker 10 (13:36):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
All right, you bet, thanks a lot, appreciate I appreciate
your call very much. Houston Powder Coders will turn any

six seven six thirty eight eighty eight. We're going to

(14:19):
go now to Magnolia and talk to Ron Morning, Ron.

Speaker 7 (14:23):
Morning, Skip, Hey, FYI on your bumper music South that
made its resurgence in Animal House, right, so Adam, So
now I get it's a stable at every wedding reception. Right.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Oh yeah, you got to do that, You got to
do that.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Okay, here here's what scenario I'm starting a project. I
was born in the south Side, Grip in South Houston,
my wife Grip in Baytown. We've lived our married life
in the Cypress area Copperfield, and now we've moved to
our retirement house which is in northwest Magnolia, south west
Montgomery's that technically we're in Montgomery. We're on two and

(15:03):
a half acres week downsize to a barnuminium. So our
barnuminiums on the south edge of the border of our acreage,
so we overlook an acre and a quarter meadow, and
then we've got the forest tree line that's protected forests
going back from there. And so obviously the views sold

(15:25):
us on the house without a doubt. Eclectic, So I'm
a novice, but when I look out on the forest,
which looks gorgeous. I want a little bit of color.
So when I did my little research on fast growing
native trees, so far I've gotten I'm getting ready to plant.

(15:47):
I got a couple of red maples, a couple of
silver oaks, a couple of sycamores, and a red bud.
Full sun. I mean it gets kind of I would
say sixty five percent sun because of the way that
the sun comes up in the east and the forest
boxes for Is that good? Are those good trees? Is

(16:10):
there other ones? Although I can't take these?

Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah, I heard red, I heard red maple, red maple,
some kind of oak, and sycamore.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
What was the oak you said, I'm sorry, it was
a silver silver maple. I'm sorry I misstated it.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Oh, I would not. I would not plant silver maple.
I mean even I don't know if you if you
can't take it back around there? Okay, well, all right,
they're they're problem prone over time. But anyway, for color,
why not put some red buds out there? I don't

(16:46):
know it's enough to throw some dogwoods out. Dogwoods are hard.
They're difficult to make happy because they like they like
acidic soil and things that they're going to be much
more of a challenge, But that's an option. There's also
are you committed to want to do natives or natives
your goal?

Speaker 7 (17:05):
No, no, no, I was just trying to you know,
novice doing research.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Well yeah, yeah, there's a native fringe tree, and then
there's also the Chinese fringe, which is showier, it's not
native at all.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Both of them are worth planting.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Those would be spring bloomers and the red buds and
the fringe would be spring bloomers. And then you know
when it's all fine, it's hard to find fall color
in our area. But but uh, cedar elms are as
tough as a boot and they have kind of a
dirty golden fall.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Color that I like.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
Oh okay, I think that's that is a nice one
that you might want to care most of the citererem Yeah,
it's just a it's a tough tree, grows native through
the area, puts up with everything, and once you get
it established, it's it's pretty tough and can do fine
with that.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Those are a few ideas.

Speaker 7 (17:57):
Okay, And one other quick question because I'm going to
see you at the event at noon. In fact, you know,
I'll be a pest for now because we've got this
is definitely a project in the in the shade areas.
Outside of the invasive kind of shrubby, weedy stuff that
we're trying to get rid of. What can we grow
that's basically only going to get indirect light. I mean,

(18:19):
I know that might affect the flowering, like we might
not have the bright flowers that you know, because they're
not in direct sun. But is there certain shrubs that
are good for you know, like you know, to perform
to make hedges so we don't have to see the
neighbors burn pile? Does that make sense?

Speaker 9 (18:38):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Boy?

Speaker 5 (18:39):
Well, yo, pone, if trimmed makes a really nice hedge.
If you get one called prior to Houston, it actually
has red berries. Otherwise, you know, and maybe getting males
you may be getting females. You can't really tell. There's
one called possum haw that has beautiful berries. It's like
a yopon, but it loses its leaves in the cool season,

(18:59):
so you have the pretty carries, but you can also
see through it. And so that's a little bit of
a challenge. But uh yeah, that's just something to to
think about. Those are a few, Hey, since you're coming
to the deal today up at Nature's Way. Uh, let's
let's continue this discussion up there. Give me some time
to think and and more more time to process it,

(19:21):
and we'll well, we'll fill it out.

Speaker 7 (19:23):
I'm going I'm going to bring my idea poster that's
got my plat on it, so so I can tell
you exactly how how it looks. All right, thank you, sir.
I appreciate it, and you have a.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Morning take it you as well, look for it, look
forward to visiting with you there.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Buchanan's Native Plants and the Heights, we're just talking about
native plants there, uh with uh Ron the uh. Buchanans
has the best selection natives anywhere in the whole region. Really,
that's what they do Buchanan's Plants dot Com. But Buchanan's
isn't just natives. If you want house plans that you
will not believe the houseplant greenhouse selection that they have.

(20:03):
If you are looking for the fertilizers I talk about,
you know, micro life, night Foss, Nelson and so on
down the line, they're the places to get that as well.
If you are looking to get fruit plants, if you
are looking to have beautiful color. If you're dealing with
a challenging shade air like Ron's question, They've got the
plants for it. Buchanansplants dot com. They that's the website.

(20:26):
Sign up for the newsletter. It is very good, very informative.
East eleventh Street and the Heights. I'm gonna have to
run to a break here on out, Dennis in Cove.
I'm gonna hold you until after the break so I
have time to give your question the time that it
will need.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Want to remind you, guys, I will be going.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
To Nature's Way Resources today and we're going to be
giving away some cool stuff, some of their fine screened
leaf mold compost. I hope you can come on out.
They are up north Interstate forty five. I'll be telling
you more about that, all right, thinks. Hey, welcome back
to the guard Line.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Good to have you with us. Looking forward to talking
to you about the things that are of interest to you.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
If you are in considering getting a generator, and you
ought to be, because you know, we have hurricane season,
we have storms that aren't hurricanes, but we can have
power outages at all kinds of times with the grid
doesn't always hold hole Steady for us. Quality Home Products
of Texas can get you fixed up with the right
generator for what you need. You know, do you just

(21:36):
need to keep a refrigerator going, you know, a freezer
going so the meat doesn't go bad and so on.
Well they can do that, but that they can do
the whole home and this whole home automatic standby generator.
It's set up and when the power goes out. You
can be watching a football game this fall and the
power goes out and you're like, oh man, you don't
even have to get up out of your chair, real

(21:58):
real fast. Here comes up right back on because the
generator senses out and he knows what to do. In
Quality Home Products, they have those Generac automatic standby generators.
But the real reason I'm sending you to Quality Home
is because of the service. They are a standout organization.
I mean when it comes to reliability, their integrity, their honesty,
their transparency.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
It's the reason why.

Speaker 5 (22:20):
They have over fourteen thousand five star reviews. It's the
reason why they've won the Better Business Bureau's highest award
for customer service eight times, and there are many other awards.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
That they've won. It's because they take care of their customers.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
And that's why I'm confident sending you to talk to
them about your generator, the things you need. They will
make sure you get what you need and know more,
they will make sure that it's done right, and then
after they set it up, they'll make sure that you
get the ongoing twenty four seven three sixty five days
a year service that you need QUALITYTX dot com or

(22:55):
give them a phone call at seven to one to
three Quality. We're going to go now out to Cove,
Texas and talk to Dennis. Hello, Dennis, welcome to guard.

Speaker 11 (23:05):
Good morning, Skip. I sent a picture of a magnolia tree.
I want to ask about pruning.

Speaker 7 (23:11):
Do you have that.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
I have looked at it. Yes, go go ahead and
let me know what you're wanting to know.

Speaker 11 (23:18):
Well, you know, I would like it to grow, you know,
up to be a tree, but it seems to be
determined to grow out. You can see in the bottom
of the picture. It used to look like a trident.
You can see in the picture at the very bottom
where I cut a limb off, and there's one on
the opposite side, and so it kind of came up

(23:38):
a little more in the center. But even now I've
cut two other things, side branches off the center stock,
but it just wants to grow out, and I don't know,
you know how much I can trim it. What of
these things I should trim.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
Just now?

Speaker 7 (24:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (24:03):
For now, I wouldn't do a lot to it because
it it doesn't have a lot of leaves, being a
very young tree, and I'd hate to take away it
needs those leaves to make carbohydrates to support the growth.
And viggor you're looking for magnoise are slow to grow anyway,
But I would I would leave it as is. As
it gets a little older and has more leaves on it,

(24:25):
you can cut the tips out of those side branches,
and that will cause them they can't continue to grow out.
They'll have to send out buds to the side and
branch uh and in that that top one will continue
to have that dominance that a vertical shoot has and
will continue to grow up.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
But let's not do that just yet.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
One other thing, though, that I definitely would do, is
create a create a bed around it and get that
grass away from the trunk. It is almost impossible to
not hit it with a weed eater alan more and
damage to the trunk will really.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Set that tree back.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
And so also that tree is it's native to a
forest and it doesn't like being in a meadow, and
that's what it is when we put them in our yard.
So the wider you can give it at least as
wide as a branch bread preferably wider. The more of
a forest floor environment you can give it with mulch
and no weeds or grass, the faster it is going

(25:21):
to perform. And I think you're going to see some
better color come into it also.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
As that happens.

Speaker 11 (25:26):
Okay, okay, Yeah, we transplanated this from my brother in
law's property and it was more wooded. But there were
a number of magnolias in our neighborhood until our big
grout about three years ago. Yes, almost all of them
died from that. But all we don't have a whole

(25:49):
lot of hope for this, and in terms of seeing
it as a giant tree, but you know, wanted to
try at least keep it alive and growing and see
what becomes of it. A wing trim but can I
trim the the snip the ends of those side branches now,

(26:09):
I'm not sure what that looks like or would that
require cutting the foliage off, which I don't want to do.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
No, no, no, you're not going to cut the froth.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
I would wait, and right now I would let's just
focus on getting that tree happy and healthy and established
before we start snipping. And you're just taking the in
buds out the in buds. But I'm not worried about
the shape of it at this age.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
It's going to be fine in time as we guide
it along.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
The main thing, though, is getting the grass away given
in a composty forest floor, malched environment, keeping it adequately moist,
and then fertilizing it in small doses. And you can
use your lawn fertilizer that you're using around the tree too,
or you can buy you know, one just for acid
living plants or one for trees and shrubs. All of

(26:59):
those wallwork. But the main thing is water, and uh,
let's let it get established. I think I think there's
a good future for that tree.

Speaker 11 (27:11):
And okay, just real quickly on pruning in general. I've
got some other trees and I'm going to need to
do some pruning. What how cold does it need to get?
Because I don't want to prune it and then have
it start you know, growing in again. How cold does

(27:31):
it need to get before I can prune? You know
how cold till Essentially things are dormant, are they?

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (27:39):
Are these other trees? Are they evergreens or are they
deciduous trees?

Speaker 7 (27:44):
Well?

Speaker 11 (27:45):
There, Uh, some of them are oaks others so some
of them do lose or leaves, but the oaks or
I don't know if they're I don't know my varieties
that well, but they generally I guess there's some very
of live oak or something similar because you never really
see them there. So you know, late, yeah, very late

(28:08):
when you realize you start new leaves are coming on
as old as going off.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
But I understand, here's here's what you need to do.
And at the end of winter it could be late January. Uh,
and that that is when you want to do all
the printing you're going to do if you can do
it all then, and you can, it's just you know,
you don't have a forest to prune, and so do
it in late January. Go online and learn about it

(28:32):
a little bit. If you want to call back, and
when we get to that stage, send me a picture
of the plant. We can talk about printing it. But uh,
and hold off until then. That's prior to the time
when the fastest growth and healing occurs. And so late
winter is the of all the times of the year,
it's the best time to prune. It's not the only
time we can prune, but it's the best time.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
I'm gonna have to run go to a break here,
but good luck getting all that in order, and I
do appreciate the call. Nelson Plant Food has some outstanding products,
but one that is very timely right now is Nelson Carboload.
It's a ten ten twenty fertilizers, got that high potassium,
which is important for winter hardiness and for that grass

(29:16):
plant to come out strong in the spring.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
Now.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
Carboload also has a pre excuse me, pre emergent herbicide
and a preventative herbicide in it, So if you use carboloade,
you don't in addition to that, need to use a
product to prevent weeds, a pre emergent herbicide. It's got
it in that fertilizer. So and in this time of

(29:40):
the year, one of the not the only time of
year when the time to weed and the time to
feed come together and this carbo looad has put all
those two. It's a purple bag from the folks at Nelson.
Excellent product, it works, and it's the one stop, one
shop stop to get the fertiliza at the perfect time,

(30:01):
which is now, and the pre emergent weed control at
the best time, which is now. Don't delay on this
because once a wee you're up and growing, you've missed
the mark on that pre emerging in it. All right,
Nelson Plant Food, these folks make great products and this
is an example.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
We're going to take a break and we'll be right back.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Oh yeah, I gotta do a little free for this
night Saturday morning. Hey, thanks for listening to Guardline. Glad
you've joined us today.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Welcome.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
You got a question, you can give me a call
seven one three two one two five eight seven four.
I'm going to be at Nature's Way Resources today. I'll
be there after the show. I'm gonna go head up
there about twelve o'clock to two o'clock. That is my
planned time. I'll be giving a talk, lots of Q
and a time. If you want to bring me samples
and bags to identify or to diagnose or whatever, be

(30:53):
happy to take a look at those pictures on your phone.
Make sure they're in good sharp focus. Happy to deal
with those as well. We are going to be giving
away some bags of their fine leaf mold composts. This
is a place leaf more compost was born. This is
the place that knows how to make quality leaf more
compos fine texture for top dressing. By the way, you

(31:15):
can use it as a you can mix it in
your soil as well. I mean, it's not just for
top dressing, but it's one of the best things you
can do as far as top dressing is concerned. Now,
Nature's Way Resources has a two acre nursery and they've
got some real nice specials out there. Fruit trees, lots
of good native plants, houseplants, vegetables. One of the largest
largest groups of native plants you're going to find in

(31:36):
this area. Now for today's event, they're going to be
over forty vendors there. They got their Peggy Martin roses
on stuff. This is a spring blooming rose, a climbing rose.
If you've been thinking about getting one, now's the time.
Three gallon plants. They got to mark down to thirty
dollars and if you buy a rose, this is important.
If you buy a rose, you can get half off

(31:58):
bags of bulls or bulk rosesoil up to up to
a cubic yard or I can't remember how many bags,
but a bunch of bags. But anyway, there's a limit,
of course on that. But for every Peggy Martin rose,
you buy fifty percent off bags or bulk on the
rose sooil. But you got to purchase the Peggy Martin roast.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
So come on out and see us.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
If you have never been there before, just write this
down Nature'sway Resources dot com, Nature's Way Resources dot com,
and it is on. If you go I forty five
north toward Conroe, right where fourteen eighty eight comes in
from Magnolia. You exit, but you go right across the
railroad tracks and Nature's weighs right back there on Sherbrooks Circle.

(32:43):
I'm going to go now to Marty in Fairfield. Hello Marty,
welcome to garden Line.

Speaker 12 (32:48):
Good morning, skip.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
Hey.

Speaker 13 (32:50):
I dug up all of them. I not all of them,
but I send out a small bed of ammarillis and
the next thing the thing I need to do is
either put them in a paper bag for the winner
or punt them in the ground, but they still have

(33:10):
really good green leaves.

Speaker 12 (33:12):
On them, and I know that's the suits for them.
To leave the green leaves and let them go dormant
is okay, okay, all right, So put them out now,
that's what.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
You want to do nature. Those I am Morellas Marty
and their native habitat. They have a late summer drought
that drives them back. And one of my mentors used
to say, if you got them in containers, you just
lay the container over when we get to August and
let it, you know, lay it over so rain can't
even fall in the container, and then let them go
dorma for a while and then set them back up

(33:46):
again and they just take off from there. And so
if you want to enjoy those blooms this spring, get
them in a spot where they can root in. If
you want to keep them dormant, that's fine, But springers
are big blooming season, So I would I would play them.

Speaker 12 (34:01):
Well, they've been in.

Speaker 13 (34:02):
The ground, like not in pots, They've been in the
ground for years. I finally just send them out. And
I've got so many I just wasn't really sure should
I uh, I don't know. I can put them in
a paper bag, or I can put them in some
sort of a container with some dirt and them. What
do you what do you recommend?

Speaker 5 (34:26):
I recommend you mail them to K T R H.
And I'll make sure they find a good home in
my yard. Having too many amarillas is a rare problem.

Speaker 13 (34:36):
No, you don't have any room in your garden anymore.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
No, No, that that's that's how you get rid of plants.
As you find a new one, and you look around
the garden and somebody's gonna die because I gotta have
room for the next one. All right, well, uh you know,
you know do that? Put them in bags, let them dry,
and then someone else can take them and plan them.

Speaker 9 (35:01):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
I'm trying to think. We have an event up in
that area. You could drop them up there, bring them
to the event, and I'll tell people they're gonna be Amarilla.

Speaker 14 (35:08):
There we are.

Speaker 12 (35:10):
You gonna be there, beautiful red their organs.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Oh when am I gonna beat up in that area again?

Speaker 9 (35:16):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (35:17):
I'll be at the arbor Gate next Saturday. That's not
too far from anyway. If you want to go to
that trouble, you're welcome to do that, but just let
me know so if you do. But yeah, put them in,
let them dry and and and then give them away,
you know. Or if you can keep them fresh and
somebody can plan them right away, that's that's fine too.

(35:37):
Either way, they'll be fine.

Speaker 12 (35:40):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (35:41):
So I can go ahead and put them in the
ground if I had a spot, Yes, if I found
a spot.

Speaker 12 (35:47):
Oh perfect, Okay. Do I need to fertilize and one
up to them in or no?

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Uh no, you can.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
You can put a little bit of a complete fertilizer
of posporus and everything down in there. But those are
easy plants. They're tough, and I've never seen a nutrient
of fish and amarillis. I'm sure it exists, but uh,
they just there. They're a good plant for growing. So
put a little for Elijah in the planting hole if
you like. I would use Nelson's Genesis. It's you're not

(36:17):
going to burn the roots with it, and it's made
for mixing in the soil when you plant things.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
So that's that's how I would go about it.

Speaker 13 (36:24):
Okay, Okay, I usually use the has to grow, but
I will see, Okay, well I'll do that. I might
yet the arborgate on Friday. Actually, I'm going to lunch
up at Ma Goodsons up there in Tomball.

Speaker 12 (36:39):
Okay, next fright, I might have to drop them off.

Speaker 13 (36:42):
I'll drop them off with Beverly.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Okay, there you go, all right, appreciate that, All right.

Speaker 5 (36:50):

Our clay soils here in the Houston area move when
they get wet and dried.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Did you know that soils move? They sure do.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
That's why if you ever been down to some of
these neighborhoods, older neighborhoods down in Houston, where you walk
down the sidewalk and it's like you're walking across the
top of the rocky mountains. That's the heaves and the
hose from tree roots and also from Seoul Movement. Seal
Movement cracks sidewalks and driveways, it heaves them. It cracks
slabs as well. It's so powerful it can crack that

(41:33):
nice huge concrete slab your house is sitting on. Fix
my Slab Foundation Repair. They've been doing this for over
almost twenty five years now, if not twenty five. Ty
Strickland is an expert at this. He is a fifth
generation Texan native Houstonian, and he understands these soils. He
understands what to do, and Tie is a straight shooter.

(41:54):
When he tells you he's going to be there, he
shows up on time. When he gives you a price,
it's a price. And when he fixes it, he fixes
it right. That's how it works with Fix my Slab
Fundation Repair. Fix myslab dot com is the website. Here's
a phone number. Give him a call. Don't be an
ostrich stick your head in the sand. If you got
a crack in the sheet rock or a crack in
your brick, or the doors are sticking or things, have

(42:17):
him come take a look. He'll assess it and tell
you what he thinks. And it may be that it's
okay for now. Let's watch it, or it may be
that it needs some work two eight one two five

If you want to reach out seven one three two
one two five eight seven four seven one three two
one two fifty eight seventy four. Someone asked me the
other day about a product.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
This was not on the air. This was just talking.

Speaker 9 (42:59):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
They're saying, well, I need to get this product and
so and so on, I can't find it, and I've
been here and there and yonder. Well, what did I say,
Go to Southwest Fertilizer. That's what I said, because if
there is something you can't find, it's gonna be at
Southwest Fertilizer. If it's something worth doing. They don't you know,
they're not just snake oils and stuff. And I'm talking

(43:21):
about products at work to control insects and pests and
weeds and diseases. And if you want to see a
nice the nicest selection of fertilizer you're gonna find anywhere
if they've got it as Southwest Fertilizer. Ever brand that
comes out of my mouth and more are at Southwest Fertilizer.
If you're an organic gardener, the largest organic selection in

(43:41):
the Houston area is at Southwest Fertilizer. It's as simple
as that corner of Bissing that and runwick Southwest Fertilizer
dot com. If you want to give them a call
seven to one three six six six one seven four four.
If you got something really obscure that you're looking for,

have it, they can get it. Seven one three six

(44:02):

years because they take care of their customers and they
carry the things you want. That's how it works. Southwest Fertilizer.
I was out in my yard actually this week. You
know they there's a saying and it's my excuse at least.

(44:24):
This saying is but the cobblers' kids go barefoot. Yeah,
the guy who makes shoes, he doesn't have time to
make his own kids shoes because he's making them to
sell to people. Right, other people well, I advise people
on their gardens and whatnot, but sometimes I need to
perhaps stay home and take care of my garden. It's true,

(44:45):
and I actually was getting some of that done and
caught up this week. Lots of lots of fun things
I enjoy, just garden maintenance. I'm telling you, there is
something about being in the garden. We were made to garden,
you know, we were. I believe there's something inherent in
human human beings it wants to be in nature. That

(45:06):
gets therapy, that gets exercise, it gets just that peace
of mind from being out there in nature. I can
even I don't like weeds. I don't like weedy garden beds.
But if I am looking at a weedy garden bed
and I'd flop down there and start pulling weeds. After
a little bit, you look back at what you did,
and it's this weed free area. I mean, there are

(45:27):
very few areas in life where you can throw your
hand to the plow for a few minutes and all
of a sudden you look and you see the results.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
You see the results.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
I spent a career doing all kinds of things, including
pushing paper around a desk, and sometimes at the end
of the day. I couldn't figure out what I'd accomplished
that day. I know it worked all day, but you know,
but with a weedy bed, there is satisfaction in getting
that done. Now that's kind of a silly example, but
it's true, and I enjoy getting not doing that. I

(45:56):
enjoy planting. I enjoy planning. I get excited when I
run across new varieties of tomatoes I never grew before.
I'm gonna try them out this year. That's how that
kind of works, right, And this is planting season, so please, please,
please do yourself this favor. Get some good quality composting materials,
put them in the ground, prepare that soil, get the

(46:20):
soil right, first brown stuff before green stuff, and then
put plants in and enjoy the fruit of your labors
as the years go by. If you want to have
a fruit tree and taste fruit, it's time to plant one,
because it takes a while, but you don't get to
start that pathway towards that first delicious fruit until you

(46:40):
actually put one in the ground. So don't delay, not
next year, this year, let's do that this fall. We're
going to go to Pasadena and talk to Stan this
morning Hey, Stan, welcome to garden Line.

Speaker 15 (46:53):
Hey, good morning, thanks sticking my call. So I've got
I just bought some property on Lake Einstone and it's
very sandy soil, and I got a real big problem
with sticker birds or sand burrs whatever you call them.
You the kind of really just bite into your foot when.

Speaker 7 (47:11):
You step across it.

Speaker 15 (47:12):
And right, so it was, it was heavily wooded when
I got it, I had it all cleared, had it
dropped down to basically just bare sand. And now you
know what's coming back up is I planted some burmuta
seed and that's coming up. I got all kinds of
weeds coming up, which are a nuisance, but the sticker
birds are the real ones that I really want.

Speaker 7 (47:32):
To get rid of.

Speaker 12 (47:34):
So do you have any advice on something that I
can do, you know, on.

Speaker 15 (47:37):
A large scale. I've been on my hands and knees
pulling these things up, and I've collected about ten fifty
gallon garbage bags full of stickerbird plants so far.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
Okay, okay, Well, so what you need to do that
now is is there anything growing like a lawn or
a garden or anything where the sticker birds are or
is it just a kind of a fields situation.

Speaker 15 (48:03):
What's about three quarters of an acre And I've really
focused on one areas maybe a third of an acre,
maybe half an acre, to try to keep.

Speaker 7 (48:13):
It up is as good as possible.

Speaker 15 (48:16):
And the other outlying areas I'm just I'm not.

Speaker 12 (48:19):
Paying as much attention to.

Speaker 15 (48:22):
I just want to have something that I can use
for now.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
I planted.

Speaker 7 (48:25):
I ordered some.

Speaker 15 (48:26):
Seed from from Hancock.

Speaker 7 (48:28):
It's the Highlander seed. Came up really really the ice
and quick. It's a bermuda.

Speaker 15 (48:34):
So that's what I've got in this one area. And
in this one area about a half acre, I've got
the sticker birds down to where there's nothing. But I'll
go up there after a couple of weeks and then
I'll have four or five more stickerbird plans. Now the
other half acre, it's it's almost solid sticker birds, and
it's it's just it's it's a never ended I've tried

(48:55):
chemicals to.

Speaker 9 (48:56):
To kill it.

Speaker 15 (48:57):
I've got tried the active ingredient round up that's glico
whatever it is.

Speaker 16 (49:03):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (49:03):
The problem with stickerbers is though it goes to the
root and it kills it. The sticker bers have these
runners that come out, and the runners root themselves. So
while I'll kill the plant itself, those runners stay alive, okay,
and then they just sprout more sticker birds.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
All right, Stan, Well, here here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (49:22):
I you've kind of got almost a pasture type situation
there because of the size of it and what's growing
in it. And you might want to talk to since
you're you're in the Pasadena area.

Speaker 6 (49:33):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
The the uh there's a Harris County Extension office and
there's a Galveston County. It has an ag agent down
in Galveston County.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Even though you're not.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
I don't know if you're in Galveston or not there,
but even if you're not, you can call them and
ask them for the pasture type products that can be
used on those grassbers, but things that contain uh there's
a product called Dimension that's especially good on the grassbers,
but it's more of a law one kind of fertilizer.

(50:01):
We got barricade another example that's a pre emergent or
for lawn. You're gonna want to get those out in
the spring as it starts to warm up just a
little bit. I would put them out in late February
and then about sixty days later, I would or maybe
a little past that, I would reapply it to continue
because graspers will they'll germinate all summer, and so you

(50:25):
want to extend that out a little bit, preventing them
as weird as than controlling them.

Speaker 15 (50:31):
Go ahead, Okay, so that's a pre emergent.

Speaker 5 (50:35):
Yes, that's a pre emergent. You put it down and
you've got to get water on it. So out in
the pasture. You need to watch for when the rain's
coming and get it down before that. You know, it
could be a few days ahead of time, but it
needs to be moved into the soil with some moisture.
I've gone way over on a break heer stand, but
those that's what I would do. And if you're looking
for the pasture version, just called the Galas County Extension

(50:56):
Office and ask them, you know what, what do you
have for a larger scale like pasture situation. But I'm
gonna have thank you so much for good luck with that, Yes, sir,
pre emergency your answer?

Speaker 3 (51:07):
All right, folks, I'll be right back, all.

Speaker 5 (51:11):

(51:40):
But you can send things and then call in. We

Microlife fertilizers is all about just what their name says.
Micro life microbials things that are in the soil naturally
that can be added to the soil to enhance their

(52:44):
presence and fight disease. Did you know that microlife brown
patch that is the name of the fall fertilizer. I
know it says brown patches. Not a fungicide. It is
a fall fertilizer that contains the kinds of microbes many
many men, any different species of microbes that are known
to be the good guys to fight disease. That's what

(53:05):
Microlife brown patch has been enhanced with and it works.
It's a good fertilizer for fall. It is a good
product to put down to provide that natural presence of
organisms that fights disease. That's how nature does it and
that's how microlife does it. You can find Microlife brown patch.
It's in the brown bag. Not hard to remember that

(53:26):
at all kinds of places all over Town. Go to
Microlife Fertilizer dot com if you want to find more
about their products and where to find them. We're going
to go now to Tomball talk to Kim this morning. Well, hello, Ken,
welcome to garden Line.

Speaker 7 (53:41):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 6 (53:43):
I was wanting to ask you about some red boats
that I have at a large harbid. It's about thirty
feet across in circular and so the intent was that
they would be undergrowth, and we had a large tree
in there as well that you provide a lot of

(54:05):
shade that had died, and and then the red buds
kind of took off. Okay, so I planted another tree
that eventually will be a large tree. But now these
redbits are kind of.

Speaker 7 (54:21):
Large.

Speaker 6 (54:22):
I was wondering.

Speaker 4 (54:24):
Would it be.

Speaker 6 (54:26):
Best to cut them down, cut them, I guess at
a certain point so that they're stay under group, or
should I just pull them up the plan new ones.

Speaker 5 (54:42):
Well, you know there, I'm not quite following your question.
I mean, the red buds are fine. They like to
be kind of an understory tree, but they will grow
in quite a bit of sun.

Speaker 7 (54:55):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (54:55):
And they're a nice little tree, not a super long
lived tree compared to like an oak or something, but
that definitely a nice tree because of the spring spring
color that they provide. So I'm maybe I'm not understanding
your question.

Speaker 6 (55:09):
Well, well, I guess they've they've grown kind of oddly
because not a typical red bud shape just because they've
been undergrowth, and uh, you know, they kind of grow
towards the sun, I guess, and so they've got I assume,
kind of go towards the towards that sun and they

(55:31):
they're just an odd look right now. They're okay, actually
want to take over instead of the big tree, but
it's we've put a maple in there too, even replacement.

Speaker 5 (55:47):
Okay, Well, you know if they're lopsided, they're gonna they're
gonna be lopsided that you know, once the tree grows
that way, it'll begin to reshape a little bit when
it gets some sunlight on those sides that hasn't had
sun on, but it's always going to be a little
bit lopsided.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
So that's kind of up to you. I don't know,
I probably would. I probably would leave.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
Them, maybe plant some other stuff in there with them,
some other nice things that bloom at different times of
the year, or if you want those shade trees replaced.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
You could put the larger trees in there. They will
eventually catch up.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
Okay, Well, I guess cutting them way back is that's
not really a good idea. I guess is that.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
Well, it ends up creating a kind of weird looking tree,
you know, instead of it growing in the natural red
bud shape, now you cut it off, and now it's
sprouting out like a crow's foot of growth from each
each cut. And you can train them, but you know,
the lifespan of a red bud's just not long enough
to take one that's well down the way and try

(56:51):
cutting it. I think I think you're never going to
be happy with the results doing that.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
Okay, So I appreciate your input on that.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
All right, you bet?

Speaker 5 (57:00):
Thanks thanks for the call, you bet, thanks for call.
Ken appreciate that. Good luck, good luck getting those all
fixed up. In Channy Gardens FM three fifty nine, Katie
Folscher side of Richmond, that's what you need. And if
you live down there, you already know where it is.
Could you've been there one hundred times in Chaney Gardens
FM three fifty nine on the Katie Fullscher side of Richmond.

(57:22):
It's been around since nineteen ninety five, and it is
an unforgettable experience. From the time you pull up in
the parking lot and look at this expanse of plants
and pottery and all kinds of cool stuff all in
front of you, you're going to get excited. I do
every time I get out of the car and look
around as a oh boy, here we go. I'm glad
I planned some time because there's a lot to see

(57:42):
it in Jenny Gardens in Chanted Gardens Richmond dot com.
That is the website. They got events going on all
this fall, so you definitely, you know, want to get
there and check those out. Today the fun Fall Faerry
Garden Making event is going on where you purchase all

(58:04):
the parts you need and you create a little in
a container, little miniature fairy garden. Next week and there'll
be at the iron basket making take. Oh gosh, these
arm baskets. You got to see them. They are gorgeous.
They show you how to make a mixed planter and
you get to take it home. So it's not only

Check out that website. It's a good one and boyd
they have had a lot of good information on there.

Speaker 7 (58:51):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (58:51):
Someone asked me the other day, said, who do you
recommend for someone to come in and do some design
work for us? You know, I'm they the the way
they're putting it is. You know, I love plants. I
love to pick out plants, but I go home and
I don't know how to put them together. Well, I'll
tell you who does, and that's Peer Scapes. We'll tell them.
Pierscapes is our preferred landscaper here on guard Line because

(59:13):
they do magic, whether it is a full landscape design,
whether it's just redoing some beds, or whether it's some
part of the landscape like you would like walkways and
hardscapes and patios. You need your get your irrigation fixed.
You need good landscape lighting. You want to take a
poorly drained area and make it drain well. They can

(59:33):
do it all at Peerscapes piercescapes dot com. That's the website.
Two eight one three seven oh five zero six zero
two eight one three seven oh fifty sixty. When you're
talking to them, ask about the quarterly maintenance. Four times
a year. They come out. They spruce up the beds,
they plant things, They you know, do a color change

(59:54):
out when it's needed. They make sure the irrigation is working.
They spruce it up, make it look good. They can
come out and keep your garden landscape that you've already
got looking wonderful. But you got to call them two
eight one three seven h five zero six zero About
to go to a break here. Just want to remind

(01:00:14):
you again that today I'm gonna be at the Fall
Garden Festival at Nature's Way Resources from twelve to two.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Come on out and see me.

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
I'm gonna get a little talk and just be there
captive audience for your gardening questions. Be happy to visit
with you twelve to two Nature's Way today already, Hello,
Jerry Lee Lewis to kick us off this next segment. Listen,
if you're south of Houston and you've never been to Sanimals,

(01:00:44):
why you need to go?

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
You need to go. This place is great.

Speaker 5 (01:00:48):
Not only is it a place to get all the
stuff you need to set up your garden and landscape
for success. That's the brown stuff, right, brown stuff before
green stuff. You fix the soil, then you plant the plant.
Cianamaltz is that. But they also have some really nice
new metal yard art there. They got the Vego beds.
You heard me talk about them for a long time.
Now they sell Vego beds there, and they got them

(01:01:10):
set up out front so you can take a look
at what they look like, kind of get an idea
of what you might want to do in your garden.
In the store, pottery, leather goods, smartpots, those little fabric
pots that you fill up with soil and grow in
local honey, soaps, candles, lotions, even harvest baskets, little wire baskets.
I've got one of those. You take them out you harvest,
you just squirt, you know, your produce off, wash it

(01:01:31):
right out there in the garden before you bring it in.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Real cool.

Speaker 5 (01:01:34):
But why do we go to Sienamltch. We go to
Ciana Malts because when it comes to compost, when it
comes to mulches for the surface of the soil, when
it comes to bed mixes, when it comes to rockpatios,
river rock, anything you can imagine that you might need,
They've got it there. They deliver within twenty minutes for
a fee. Sienna Mulch dot com.

Speaker 9 (01:01:56):
Just go there.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
It is on FM five twenty one. Go to cianamltch
dot com. That's where you find everything you need to know,
from the phone number to the address to what's going on.
It's the animals dot Com. We're going to go now
out to Sugarland this morning and talk to James. Hey James,
welcome to garden Line.

Speaker 17 (01:02:11):
Hey, good more, good more and skip. We had a
pallet to sawd installed on a Wednesday, and with this
cool front, I'm concerned about keeping it really wet and
having more fungus problems. Is that going to be an
issue with fresh sad?

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
It can't, well, it could be. It could be with
existing sod or fresh sod. I actually have been watching
the weather close enough, but when it when the temperatures
drop and you get a little bit of rain, especially
or you're irrigating a lot, which is what you do
with fresh sod. Uh, you can end up with the
brown patch. I would if I were you, I would

(01:02:50):
today go down and put down the eagle turf funger
side from the folks at Nitrofoss.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Water it in.

Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
It needs to go in the soil so the roots
can take it up, and it needs time to do
that so that when the disease attacks, you've already got
that eagle in the running through the veins of the
grass plant to help protect it. But depending on the weather,
I usually say water twice a day the first week,
once a day the second week. As we get a

(01:03:17):
break in the temperture, you don't need to water that
much because it doesn't dry out that nearly that fast,
So once a day maybe enough. But just kind of
watch how things are going, see how the sod's doing.
You can look at it and tell when it's you know,
getting a little bit on the thirsty side. But the
first week or two is very important to get those
roots down as fast as you can so that sod

(01:03:37):
established as well. So with the eagle tur fund aside,
I think you can overcome the issue you're speaking of,
which is a good point, and that is, you know,
with all this extra watering and a cooling temperature, this
is the issue we're going to be dealing with.

Speaker 17 (01:03:54):
Okay, one other quick question the other caller on sand burgs.
If you spray and kill a sandburr grass plant and
it's got green sandburs on it, will those sandburs.

Speaker 7 (01:04:10):
Propagate?

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
They will state?

Speaker 7 (01:04:15):
Okay, so you still can't kill them.

Speaker 5 (01:04:18):
Well, it depends on what stage you get in there.
If those birds, if those seeds, we're gonna call them seeds,
that's what they are. If they have not fully developed
where they can be viable, and you kill the plant first,
no they're not. But once they're the size where you're going, yeah,
that's a grassper, then they're already viable, and so killing

(01:04:39):
the plant is probably too late.

Speaker 17 (01:04:43):
Okay, Well, I think that that gentleman's fighting a losing
battle because animals bring sandburs in, they spread them everywhere.
I've been fighting them for fourteen years at my place,
So you're not gonna.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
Yeah, well, all right, Fighting sandburs is a ultifaceted you know,
you you've got, first of all, they like it to
be poor soil, poor sandy soil.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
They love that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
And as you start fertilizing in things, actually it doesn't.
The sember is actually declined because of everything else thriving.
And so that even fertilizer is part of the samber
long term solution, not in and of itself, but among
other things. They are about pre emergency.

Speaker 17 (01:05:26):
I think it's a high nitrogen fertilizer is what they don't.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
Like, right, but your grass does so, so that's the
that's part of the big picture. Everything is not a
chemical solution, but cultural solutions are part of solving any
kind of problem like that.

Speaker 7 (01:05:46):
All right, Jans, thank you man, appreciate your help.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Thanks appreciate it. Yes, sir, appreciate your call.

Speaker 5 (01:05:53):
Uh nights fass Texas three step We just we're talking
about the eagle turf funge A side that's part of
the three step Eagle turf funge is side has got
to go on the ground to get watered in, to
be taken up by the grass plant to provide that protection.
Nitrofoss barricade Step two. Nit Foss barricades got to be
put down a watered inn so that it's in the

(01:06:14):
surface forming a barricade over the sole surface to prevent
weed seeds from becoming weed plants. Third step Ball Special
Winter Winteriser. It's a fertilizer designed for fall, for going
into the winter strong, having good cold heartiness and good strong,
fresh early season growth.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Now, where you're going to find them and well, you
find them at Bearings Hardware and Bisinet. You'll find them
in Chenne Forest, Dan Richmond, Rosenberg area, lying them Creek
Case Hardware up in Cyprus, just buying Copperfield. They've got
them there as well. All part of the nitrofoss Texas.
Three step and listen. Don't delay. Timing is everything. Don't

(01:06:54):
put down a pre emergent after the weeds you're up,
it's too late. Flex We entered baseball when the catcher's
holding the ball, well, you missed it. Do it before,
get ahead of time. On that same with diseases. Brown
patch the best funge size in the world. Once you
got the big brown circles, they're not going to make
them green again. You got to do it ahead of time.
All this stuff is very timely and we are in

(01:07:15):
a very busy intersection when it comes to lawns in
this fall season. Now is the time. If you're going
to do any of these things, do them now or
you missed the boat. That's how that works. Folks at
the arbor Gate always have got things going on. They
have some really cool stuff. As far as ongoing programs

(01:07:40):
this fall. The one you need to know about right
now is Angela Chandler. You probably heard her on Guardline
this summer on this coming Wednesday, October fifteenth. Wednesday, October fifteenth,
ten am. How to increase production in your home garden. So,
if you're planning a garden, that's good. But if you
want a great garden, there's a lot of strategies that

(01:08:02):
help you get the most out of the space that
you have. Unless you're going to turn the whole backyard
into a farm. Maybe you've got a small area, but
you want to get a lot out of it. Angela
will teach you how to do that. She's going to
talk about succession planning and intercropping, something called nurse cropping.
Don't you want to know what that is? Show up
cover cropping, living mulches. You will build your soil. As

(01:08:24):
you do that, you'll decrease the weed problems you have.
As you do that, and you'll be surprised to see
just how productive your garden can be. Now, it's Wednesday,
October fifteenth, this coming Wednesday. It costs ten dollars per person,
and there's only forty seats that are available, so I
would call them today and get your space.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
You need to prepay.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
You need to pre register because the only forty seats
are available, and you can't just say I'm going to
show up.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Put the money. Where you're out is, put your money
down and then go see this.

Speaker 5 (01:08:58):
You do not want to miss Angelusia's excellent two eight
one three five one eighty eight fifty one. Give you
that t you again. Two eight one three five one
eighty eight fifty one. Call the arbor Gate, Ohen. While
you're out there, shop.

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
The arbor Gate.

Speaker 5 (01:09:12):
It is a great place to go. You're listening to
Garden Line, I'm your host, Skip Richter. If you've got
a question. Seven one three two one two five eight
seven four seven one three two one two fifty eight
seventy four. I was sitting outside yesterday and uh I
had a mosquito. A mosquito came and was landing on me.

(01:09:35):
It's like dad gum it. I hate mosquitos. And then
I got to thinking, why am I not inundated with mosquitos?
It's that time of the day when they love to
come out. It's because I've got the mosquito buckets from
pest Bros. They don't get rid of every mosquito in
the whole neighborhood. I mean, nothing does that kind of work.
No pesticide can do that, but they take the numbers down.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
Very, very low.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
And it's just the safest way that you can control
mosquito that there is a mosquito buckets from pest Bros.
Go to dpestbros dot com. Call them for a quote too.
Eight one two oh six forty six seventy. You know
we're coming to the end of the mosquito season here.
I know that, but I'm just telling you about sitting
out and I'm still enjoying the benefits from those buckets.

(01:10:18):
Do you have termites? Do you want to make sure
you don't have them for ten years? Pest Bros. Knows
how to treat effectively for them, and how to do
so in the safest possible manner. Do you have cockroaches
in the house, fire ants in the yard? Fall is
the best time to hit those fire ants. Now's the
time they say A and M used to say tackle
fire ants in the fall, kind of like football season thing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Well it's true.

Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
Dpestbros dot Com two eight one, two oh six forty
six seventy. I'm gonna take a break. I'll be right
back up. Remember when which is a carmenize? I believe
that's all maybe before my time. Welcome back to Gardenline.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
Good to have you with us.

Speaker 5 (01:11:01):
Listen, we're talking about fall fertilizing and everything. Remember about asamite,
the trace mineral supplement. You can do it on the
same day you fertilize. You can do it any the
other year you want.

Speaker 3 (01:11:11):
To do it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:12):
Just don't mix it with your fertilizer, because the particle
sizes are different. So you put out the fertilizer, come
back and get your azamite, which is a trace mineral fertilizer,
and you put it out according to the label. Follow
the label. Always follow the label. It's good for gardens too.
Ten pounds per thousand square feet in the garden. A
forty four pound bag will cover six to twelve thousand
square feet of your lawn. Time to get it down,

(01:11:35):
get it down now, get those nutrient levels up where
they need to be, and always consider having your soil
tested and check on things. You know, because you're you're
looking in the soil, you can't see what nutrients you
have or don't have. Let's always keep it balanced. And
those essential micronutrients you can get those from azamite, the
folks at asamite. Easy to find that product that's sold

(01:11:55):
all over the place. Let's go to Richmond, Texas now
and talk to Reed. Hey, Reed, welcome to garden Line.

Speaker 18 (01:12:04):
Good pardon, sir, how are you actually? I'm mobile right
now in Baytown, Texas. But yeah, I am out and
what's left of unincorporated Fortman County, Richmond.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
Not much left you about, There is not much left
you are right.

Speaker 18 (01:12:18):
I'm out there by one of your sponsors, the Enchanted Gardens,
wonderful place.

Speaker 7 (01:12:21):
By the way.

Speaker 18 (01:12:22):
Okay, the nitros products, and Saint Augustine. I've got a
lot of Saint Augustine, and I keep getting on and off.

Speaker 7 (01:12:29):
Of the schedule. One of these days I'll actually get
on board.

Speaker 18 (01:12:32):
But my question is I have a lot of free
range chickens, some goats, ducks, rabbits roaming around out there
is that product of any concern when it comes to
those animals.

Speaker 5 (01:12:44):
All three of the Texas three steps, the fertilizer, the
fung aside and the weed prevention need to be watered in.
And when you do that, you're going to water those
granules down into the soil. And so I wouldn't worry
about that. But don't spread it out out and then
have them go around pecking on it. You know, the
barricades are small. I doubt they're gonna peck it. But

(01:13:06):
just go ahead and water it in before you turn
them loose on it.

Speaker 9 (01:13:11):
That sounds good.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
That's nice and easy.

Speaker 6 (01:13:14):
Yeah, well, I appreciate you, sir, Thank you very much,
and enjoy your Saturday.

Speaker 5 (01:13:19):
All right, about a third inch of water up to
no more than about a half inch it will be adequate,
all right, Thanks man, appreciate appreciate your call very much.
Hey have you been to Nelson Nursery and Water Gardens
out there in Katie? You know I'm talking about these
these different products and things. Nelson carry's the products you
need out there. They've got a great selection of plants too.
By the way, I don't know when's the last time

(01:13:40):
you're out there. They just got some camellias. In fall
is the best time to plant trees and shrubs. Camellias
are great. What do you have that blooms in the
in the like December or in January, or what can bloom?

Speaker 9 (01:13:54):
Then?

Speaker 5 (01:13:54):
Camellias can and you have those at your house. Go
out to Nelson Nursery and Water Gardens and get you some.
They're cool. While you're out there, you can pick up
that turf Star from Nelson, the ten ten twenty fertilizer

or just go to Nelsonwatergardens dot com. Let's go now
to Carol in Southeast Houston. Hey Carol, welcome to garden Line.

Speaker 16 (01:14:35):
Thank you, thank you for taking my call. I have
lived in this house for almost thirteen years. New construction.
The builders planted two oak trees in the front yard.
Yeah they were little, they were cute. Okay, well I've
already had to take one of them out because the
roots bested through my sprinker lines. And the other one

(01:14:57):
is it's really growing. I mean it's I've had I
had a trimmed last year, but about this time of
the year and cut way back from my roof and
you know, the foundation of the house and it's just
moved all over the place again. I mean, he's covering
the roof again. And I was talking to someone at

(01:15:18):
the HOA meeting the other night and he said, yeah,
he's so I was all messed up. Now he's got
to spend twenty five thousand dollars and he's wanting to
take both trees out and replace it with something else.
And I'm thinking, yeah, I would kind of like to
do that too, but I like my shade and I

(01:15:39):
want something that you know, would provide shade pretty quickly. Again,
if I do take that oak tree out or also,
is there anything I can do with the oak tree
to keep it from doing from going into the foundation
and causing issues.

Speaker 5 (01:15:52):
Well, what what's happening is the tree isn't going under
the foundation and lifting it up like it would a sidewalk.
The tree roots are growing beside the foundation. But they
pump that the water out of the soil. On hot
days especially, they get that water out of the soil
and then so what's happening is the soil is drying

(01:16:12):
and wetting. You know, it rains at wets or you're irrigating,
it wets and then it dries out again.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
And so it's it's that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
So there are root barriers that can be put down
that help prevent that movement in the soil by by
keeping the roots.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
Out of that area.

Speaker 5 (01:16:30):
But even if a tree is some distance away, it's
still going to have roots. Tree roots can be two
and a half times a height of the tree in
all directions. So when you think about that, a tree
in your neighbor's yard could be at your foundation too,
So it's we don't want to plant them close. But
it's even if it's thirty feet away, it still could

(01:16:51):
have roots there that are doing that to your foundation.

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
So anything is just a water.

Speaker 16 (01:16:58):
Yeah it's barely go ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:17:02):
Yeah well so yeah, that'll that can happen, but that's
that's how that happened. So the main thing is to
keep the foundation moist. You can do irrigating to do that,
you know, to keep it extra moist. That's what I
would recommend is some sort of an irrigation system that
does keep that moist and you can put the barriers

(01:17:23):
down there. Not cheap to put in, but it is
a possibility to do that. Or you know, just try
to choose some trees that don't have quite as big
of a stature and extensive a root system would help
a little bit in that regard already.

Speaker 16 (01:17:39):
What would that be as far as other trees, more
and more.

Speaker 5 (01:17:43):
Smaller stature trees, you know, something like a red bud,
something like a Chinese fringe tree. Those are a little
smaller statued trees. It's not going to be the difference
in night and day though, Carol. But everybody has trees
around their house, and not everybody has foundation problems because
of that. So it's a combination of these of these

(01:18:05):
different factors.

Speaker 16 (01:18:06):
Okay, okay, So my neighbor with his trees, if he
doesn't ever water or do anything, might be more of
a threat than than mine, because I do water right off,
especially now that it's so dry.

Speaker 4 (01:18:23):
Okay, Well, thanks you for ch what you bet, Thank
you for the call.

Speaker 5 (01:18:27):
I appreciate that, Carol. You take care all right. Music
means time to go to top of the hour break.
Don't forget quiz question for Guardenline listeners. Where am I
going to be today? I'm gonna be at the Fall
Garden Festival at Nature's Way Resources. This is our third annual.
I've been these before. They're always a good party that

(01:18:47):
they are. I like to use the word shindig. They're
gonna have live music there, They're gonna have things to
eat and drink. They're gonna be things for the kids
to do. They got this crazy host of garden Line
coming in.

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
That would be me.

Speaker 5 (01:18:59):
I'm going to be in the back giving a talk
on gardening. We're gonna be answering your questions. Bring me
samples of weeds and bags and diseases and we'll identify
them and diagnose them. Sherbrooke Circle Conrod, Texas head up
forty five. I'll be up from twelve noon to two
pm today.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Welcome to Katie r. H. Garden Line with Skip Rictor.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
It's trim.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
Just watch him as we may give things to sup
bases like gas.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
Not a sign gas gas.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Salmon.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
Hey, folks, welcome back to guard Line. Good to have
you back.

Speaker 5 (01:20:04):
I'm your host, Skip richter, and we're here to help
you have a bountiful garden and a beautiful landscape and
more fun in the process. That's what we would like
to do. So all you got to do is give
me a call. Seven one three two one two fifty
eight seventy four seven one three two one two five
eight seven four would be glad to visit with you

(01:20:24):
to help you have that kind of success. If you
are looking at a lawn that has been struggling this year,
maybe drought, maybe compaction, foot traffic, those sort of things,
maybe take all root rod. Perhaps it was chinchbugs that
hit your lawn and you're trying to bring that long back.
Maybe it's just not thriving and you're trying to bring

(01:20:44):
it back. You need to call the folks at Greenpro
to come out and do a core aeration. That means
popping little cores of soil out and dropping them on
the surface. By the way, if you have a thatch problem,
core aerations one of the things in your power to
do to help get rid of that thatch issue corrooration,
and then follow that correlation with a compost top dressing

(01:21:06):
that will also help that thatch stay moist and therefore
decompose all that debt datchy material on top. When you
do this, you're breathing oxygen into the soil, You're stimulating
microbial activity in the soil, and you're hoping your lawn
do better. Now, the area that green pro covers is
basically the northwest quadrant of Houston. If you use Interstate

(01:21:27):
forty five is your north south line. Interstate ten is
your east west line. Think of the northwest quadrant. That's
not exact, but that's close. That's roughly there. They cover.
So if you're in Katie or West Houston, if you're
in Magnolia Montgomery, if you're in Willis or Conroy or
the Woodlands or even over Spring and Cypress direction, greenpro
co They've got you covered and they can do this.

(01:21:48):
You've got to give them a call eight three two
three five one zero zero three two eight three two
three five one zero zero three to two, or go
to the website. I'd always like to go to the website.
That way I can learn a lot about something. Everything
you need to know. Greenprotexas dot com. Greenprotexas dot com,

(01:22:11):
do your own a favor. Last week I was out
at Moss Nursery. And I'm telling you, Moss Nursery is
quite a place. Thanks to everybody that came out there.
By the way, we had a really good time. If
you were to how would I describe Moss, I would say,
if you would take a museum and combine it with
a botanical garden and then fill it with gorgeous plants

(01:22:33):
of all types, also in an incredibly broad selection of pottery,
you would have Moss Nursery in Seabrook, Texas. This is
eight acres to wander around to just horticultural wonderfulness. They've
got you covered there at Moss Nursery, seventy year old nursery,
family operated and it is a place where you're going

(01:22:55):
to find what you're looking for. They got in some camellias,
got some really nice commullia is in a while back,
and uh, you know camellia is. Do you know there's
three commullas you can grow in Houston and most people
think of two, the Japonicas and the sussanquas. Those are
two different types of camellas. The flowers look a little different,
they bloom it a little different time of the year.
One's gonna be more of a December bloomer. One's more

(01:23:16):
of a January bloomer. But there's a third type and
that is you ever drink iced tea before China tea,
the black china tea that we make tea out of,
whether it's hot tea or china tea, the cold te
uh Camellia sentences. That's actually a type of camellia. They
use the leaves from it, and Moss Nursery has those

(01:23:37):
as well. So it's just a cool place. You need
to go by there and you need to check them out.
They're on Toddville Road in Seabrook. Mos Nursery dot com.
Let me spell that for you. M Aas Nursery dot
com two eight one four seven four twenty four eighty
eight two eight one four seven four two four eight eight. Alrighty,

(01:23:59):
there you go. Well, what are you going to plant
new this fall? What are you going to try different
this fall? Well?

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
How about this?

Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
How about some containers of If you don't have a
vegetable garden, how about some containers of cool seasoned vegetables. Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,
corobie collars. You know you can grow those in containers.
You can grow spinach, you grow lettuce and containers. In fact,
I like to grow things like spinach and lettuce, just
like plant them, like you're making a little meadow of

(01:24:26):
seeds out there with those in the top of a container.
And then when they grow, you take scissors and mow
off the top of your container. And now you've got
baby greens.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
For a salad.

Speaker 5 (01:24:36):
So you'd want more than one container, maybe these two
lettuce containers and one of them you're harvesting and the
next one is growing, and then vice versa. You know,
so you always got something coming that's a cool new
idea that you could try.

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
How about that? How about fruit? What kind of fruit
do you want.

Speaker 5 (01:24:51):
To have that you don't have. Now's the time to
get that planted. We're gonna go up the tomball now
and talk to John this morning. Hello John, Welcome to
garden Line.

Speaker 7 (01:25:02):
Good morning, Skip. I had a quick question for you,
Uh this time of year went nut stage.

Speaker 4 (01:25:09):
Did I wait on spraying nuts edge or can I
go ahead and do it?

Speaker 5 (01:25:14):
You must do it right away, No, you must do
it right away. I just sprayed some the other day
nuts edge. Like a lot of plants is pulling its
carbohydrates down. And this from the case of nutsteads to
replenish those underground reserves and the nuts. Now, when you
put a fertilized herviside on like sedge hammer as an example,

(01:25:35):
uh it, it takes it in and it does even
a better job of killing killing the nut sete.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
So do it soon, sooner rather than later. But now's
a great time perfect.

Speaker 7 (01:25:49):
This is more.

Speaker 5 (01:25:50):
Have you seen my publication? No, I I'm not gonna do.
I'm not gonna touch o one, John. Go online to
my website Gardening with Skip. I've got a publication call
nuts Edge and end Depth. Look it's several pages, but
look at it. It's got everything you need to know.
It explains the difference between yellow and purple nuts edge,

(01:26:12):
and there's a lot of detail to this that if
you learn it, it just makes you better at being
able to understand your enemy there and get rid of it.
And so I would recommend you take a look at
that publication. But yep, now's the time you got it, Yes, sir,
thank you, Bye bye.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
That is true.

Speaker 5 (01:26:32):
Hey, affordable tree service. If you haven't had your trees

Speaker 19 (01:27:24):
Morning, Hello, yes, Sir, Hey i've got some brussel SPROUTS
i bought and they were two to a, container AND
i asked IF i could separate them and the lady said,
sure AND i did, that and they have lost one
and they're just not going near like WHAT i think

(01:27:46):
they should have a question is SHOULD i let them
go or SHOULD i just go get some.

Speaker 5 (01:27:51):
More Well brussels sprout to our long, term long term.
Crop and IF i looked at, them it looked, like,
yeah they're be, okay they're to set. Back i'd probably
leave them. Alone but if you want to go get some,
more and if you ever want to do that dividing,
again if the plant has really filled up the container with,
roots so it's just packed with, roots it's gonna be

(01:28:13):
almost impossible to divide them without doing too much. Damage
if it's, not you can soak that root ball in,
water you, know a bowl of, water and just kind
of gently start to wiggle and work them, apart and
you're gonna lose some, roots but you can kind of
pull them apart and those roots kind of get them
out of there where the damage is, minimal and then

(01:28:36):
water them in and make sure they stay on the
moist side so that the limited roots system that they're
left with has good water and they will recover for.
You they can be, separated but not if they're completely root.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Bound, yeah they weren't root.

Speaker 7 (01:28:55):
Bound AND i did.

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
THAT i gip them in water and wheel them.

Speaker 9 (01:28:59):
Apart, okay, look they.

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
Just WELL i don't, know they're just not going, yep.

Speaker 5 (01:29:06):
Got, YOU i, understand, well and you know in the
future then by, that but just cut one off at the,
ground pick the better, one leave, it get rid of
the other, one and just, buy you, know by. Plant
i'm mary me plants you. NEED i think that's PROB
i got, it all, right all, RIGHT i thank, you good?
Luck all, right you take care you bet. Old brussels

Speaker 5 (01:31:46):
Person so let's say you're driving the countryside and you
see wild per. Simmons you can get the seeds out
of them and grow rootstock with those, seeds and then
you can graft or bud your design hard person onto
that root. Stock but, again we do that for fun
and for the, hobby you, know but it'll that that's

(01:32:09):

we're going to go now To tom In West. Houston Hey,
tom welcome to.

Speaker 8 (01:34:21):
Garden Lad thank, you, skip good morning to, you and
thank you for taking my. CALL i have a great
myrtle bark, scale AND i was trying to ascertain WHAT
i can do to first kill, it and THEN i
believe putting format oil in the late winter early spring
when the temperatures correct is the way to go to

(01:34:42):
be more. Proactive but if you could help me out at,
sure appreciate, it, Sir.

Speaker 5 (01:34:46):
Okay kramer to bark scale is not usually with. SCALE
a good regiment of oil applications with a complete, coverage
we'll control. Them kramer to bark scales a little different than.
THAT i would still do the, oil AND i would
do it in late, winter right before the new growth
that begins you don't want to spray oil in the

(01:35:07):
new growth tender growth coming, out but right before that
a good thorough coverage of oil from all. Sides oil
is not a. Poison you got to smother the scale
with oil to kill, it so coverage is. CRITICAL i
would do, that but you're probably still going to need
to use some type of insecticide to get it under.
Control there's two. Options one is in the spring when

(01:35:30):
the baby crawler scale are, out you can apply insecticides
or oil or soap at that, time especially soap and
insecticide at that time to control. Them or you put
a systemic on the ground and it goes up in
the tree and then anything sucking juices out of the
crape myrtle is going to get killed by. That and
that would include things like, aphids thing like scale for.

Speaker 8 (01:35:52):
Example do you have a recommendation skip on the insecticide.

Speaker 5 (01:35:58):
There are for the systemic there are two and as
long chemical names amido cloprid and dino. Tepheron and here's
HOW i would. Suggest if you look FOR i am id,
oh a midoh or think a dinosaur d N. O
those two insecticide. Ingredient that's the beginning of the. Name

(01:36:21):
nothing else starts with that. NAME I M i D
o or d N o dino or. Amido either of
those ingredients are synth that are they're synthetic but systemic
insecticides that go up in the. Tree but you got
to get them done early in the spring when the
growth is starting so that the tree takes them.

Speaker 3 (01:36:41):
Up and when the.

Speaker 5 (01:36:43):
Great myrtle bark, scale then are are going to be
controlled when they suck juices out of the.

Speaker 4 (01:36:47):
Tree.

Speaker 7 (01:36:49):
GREAT i have.

Speaker 8 (01:36:50):
Already have some in the for other, applications So i'll
use that text so. Well thank you very, Much. Gip
you have a great, weekend and thank you for your
help on the. Car mind, sir.

Speaker 5 (01:37:02):
You bet just make sure and drench it in because
it's got to be taken up by the roots and
it takes time for, that all, Right Thanks, tom appreciate
that very. Much plants For All seasons is the garden
center right there on two forty nine where two forty
nine comes into built way. Eight plants For All seasons
are great gardens that have been around since nineteen seventy,
three and The flowerty family they're experts at gardening and

(01:37:26):
they have gardened here for a long time and people know.
That that's why people love to go To plants For All.
Seasons they get good advice, there they get answers to their. Questions,
there they get the products they need to have success.
There you KNOW i talk about brown stuff before green. Stuff,
well you can't walk Into plants For All seasons without
stepping over the, soils the soil products that you need for.

(01:37:49):
Success you can't check out without having to walk past
all the fertilizers that you need for success in the.
Soil so when you buy beautiful plants there their, moms
their rose bush, is they're vegetable, plants their herb, plants
all the shrubs and. Trees it's time to plant all.
That when you buy, that grab the stuff you need
for success with the soil and they'll they'll point you

(01:38:11):
to the right stuff when you go. In if you
got any, questions bring them a, sample bring them a,
picture and they can help you get to the bottom
of it as. Well plants For All seasons Dot com two, eight, one, three, seven,

(01:42:57):
where you're gonna Find nelson. Products we're going to head
out To Missouri city now and talk To. Jerry, Hello,
jerry welcome to Garden.

Speaker 9 (01:43:06):
Line hi skidd.

Speaker 4 (01:43:09):
Uh, YEAH i have an old tree that has a
white pottery mildew on.

Speaker 23 (01:43:13):
There i've been spraying some fantassium by carbonate on, it
and uh it's been like that for, Us i'll say
about a month and a.

Speaker 6 (01:43:23):
Half AND i just started spraying about two weeks. Ago
and another problem is how do how DO i.

Speaker 23 (01:43:28):
Get to spray you, know at the top of the
tree there it's about you, know thirty feet high or.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
So, jerry what what is the symptom that you're seeing?

Speaker 9 (01:43:44):
White this?

Speaker 16 (01:43:46):
Is this is?

Speaker 3 (01:43:46):
WHITE i guess mildew on.

Speaker 7 (01:43:49):
There it just does just fall from the tree and
it gets all over my guard and my car and
in the.

Speaker 5 (01:43:55):
Driveway, Okay and uh so is it like little almost
like little white fuzzy cotton neat things on the? Leaves,
yeah give me, Okay. Jerry that is a that's an.
Insect and what they do is that that insect sucks

(01:44:16):
juices out of your oak, tree the plumbing of the oak.
Tree it's sucking the juices out of the plumbing and
it is taking the nutrient out of. That but it's
it's not keeping the sugary water that's in the sap
and it's basically peeing out the sugar, water and that's
why you get the sticky. Stuff the city mold sometimes
grows on. It at this time in the, season those

(01:44:37):
trees they're about to lose their leaves, anyway and there's
no benefit to be had by. Spraying you, know had
you go back about you, know three weeks in, time maybe,
so but but we're getting too far along for, that
and SO i would just leave. It you, know nature
has this cycle and towards the end of the year
there are a lot of things that happen to tree,

(01:44:58):
leaves from, leafs, spots to insects and other. DISEASES i
will save yourself the, time money and hassle FOR i
know it's a mess, now but you're spraying isn't going
to fix?

Speaker 7 (01:45:09):
It that leaves it?

Speaker 23 (01:45:11):
Correct how about if it readpressors if it, reoccurs what
WOULD i?

Speaker 7 (01:45:18):
Say?

Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
Then, well next, year when you get into let's say Late,
august you might take a look up in the tree
and see what you're. Seeing are you're seeing some of
those white things on the. Leaves maybe they haven't started falling,
yet maybe they haven't had that city mold grow on
them or. Anything but that would be a time when

(01:45:38):
you could spray if you were going to spray for,
them or you could also put a systemic insect to
slide down and it would go up in the. Tree
but with the systemic, jerry you're gonna need to do
that probably In july in order to get it up
in the tree in time to control. Those you could
even do it In june Or. July it's an oak,
tree so it would go up in the. Plumbing it'll

(01:45:59):
take it a, while but then anything sucking juices out
of your tree is going to pick up that poison
out of the sap of the.

Speaker 6 (01:46:05):
Tree, okay, okay, great, well thank you so.

Speaker 5 (01:46:10):
Much, yeah just remember with the, systemics you need to
be several months ahead to get the best effect from.

And talk To. Robert, Hello, Robert welcome to Guarden.

Speaker 24 (01:47:23):
Line Hellot.

Speaker 11 (01:47:25):
Skiff, HEY i got a quick question for.

Speaker 25 (01:47:27):
YOU i got a putting down sod and it's A
i want to, say it's three three foot by four
foot and is it a good time to put that
sad down?

Speaker 3 (01:47:40):
Now or SHOULD i wait till? Later you can do it.
Now that's a tiny, area but you can do it.

Speaker 5 (01:47:48):
Now but you want to scratch up the, soil kind
of level, it loosen, it lay the sod, down and
press it down by stepping on. It you want good
contact between the soil that comes with that sod and
the soil in your, yard and then watered in really
good uh and then be ready to give it a
squirt every day to help it stay. Moist because that

(01:48:08):
thin little half inchulera or three quarter inch lelera soil
is the only roots that plant, Has so it's going
to take a while to get roots in the ground
and then we don't have to worry about water and so.
Often but early on you just want to keep them.
Moist you don't have to keep them, saturated keep them.
Moist and since you're watering it so, much you might
get some of that nitroposs eagle and put it out

(01:48:30):
over your hole on and get it watered, in because
if you're going to keep that wet and we get
the cool, weather you're going to see brown patch show.
Up and that's the last thing you want to happen.
To side you just put.

Speaker 26 (01:48:40):
DOWN i got, YOU i got, you so DO i
then it put some soiled down BEFORE i put that saw,
down or just let you, know loosen it up and
lay it.

Speaker 9 (01:48:50):
Down then, yeah just.

Speaker 5 (01:48:52):
Just loosen it, up you, know if it's a little
bit of a hole or uneven or, something level it
out before you get.

Speaker 3 (01:48:58):
Started but nothing else else.

Speaker 5 (01:49:00):
Special the main thing is good sad to soil contact
and consistent moisture until it can get its own roots.

Speaker 7 (01:49:07):

Speaker 9 (01:51:47):
SKIP i got a Question i've Got i've got nuts
edge popping up in my garden, beds AND i wanted
to find out IF i could use the sedge hammer
product IF i apply it with a weed. Wipper.

Speaker 5 (01:52:06):
Yes, Absolutely that's HOW i do most of mine in garden.
BEDS i have my Little are you using the one
my homemade weed? Wiper you have another one that you're.

Speaker 3 (01:52:15):
USING i made one.

Speaker 9 (01:52:17):
MYSELF i bought a LITTLE i didn't don't like the long,
reach SO i took a set of tongues and added
a sponge to the.

Speaker 5 (01:52:25):
Oak so that's a great. Idea, yeah those a big
old barbecue. Tongs the longer you can find them the
better THAT i.

Speaker 9 (01:52:34):
Got a real short one could get a little shaky.
Sometimes so.

Speaker 3 (01:52:39):
There you. Go, well, yeah that's a good, idea and
yes you can do.

Speaker 9 (01:52:43):
It.

Speaker 5 (01:52:43):
Now it's a good time to do it because the
nuts edge is pulling down a lot of carbohydrates replenishing
those underground tubers for. Spring Uh so now's the time
to send some sedgehammer or whatever you're using down in
there into those tubers and shut them.

Speaker 9 (01:52:59):
Down, Okay so IF i got seeds in the ground,
already does it will little affect?

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
Those Uh, no because you're putting it on with the
weed wiper that you're not going to affect.

Speaker 5 (01:53:12):
Anything. Uh this is going to go straight down in the.
Plant that's why the weed wipers are such a good.

Morning how are you this?

Speaker 3 (02:03:25):
Morning good? Sir, hello how can we? Help?

Speaker 4 (02:03:29):
Oh, Okay i've got an area next to the pool
in the. House it's in a corner and it's where
the utility lines come, through AND i cannot dig. There
AND i want to plant a couple of container trees
that will get up taller than the, fence that are
not really. Messy you. Know i'm probably about ten twelve

(02:03:51):
foot from the, pool but that will give us a
little privacy in that. Corner AND i don't know exactly
what to. Get and the second question Is i've got
A i've got a weed that WHEN i come back from.
Vacation i've got it in an area that not a
lot of. Grass it's a very woody weed that grows

(02:04:12):
almost in a circular. Pattern AND i tried to pull one.
Up it's probably it was probably about two a little
more than too pull, wide AND i couldn't pull it.
UP i had to dig it. Up it's got a
real big taproot on, it very woody at the, bottom
AND i don't know what it.

Speaker 3 (02:04:28):
Is describe me the leaves or any, flowers if they're
any on.

Speaker 4 (02:04:33):
It it's more of a, thick thick woody bind really
have any?

Speaker 5 (02:04:44):
Leaves, well, okay you know, What, Jesse i'm Gonna i'm
not gonna build a guess that. One if you will
send me a picture of, it just take it with
your phone and you can email it to. Me i'll
take a look at it if you want to call,
back or IF i get it today before ten, O'clock

(02:05:05):
i'll talk about it on the show WHEN i get
that picture from. You, so if you want to keep
listening as far as the, plants are you wanting privacy
all year round or just during the swimming pool.

Speaker 3 (02:05:17):
Season you're, around if, Possible, OKAY i.

Speaker 5 (02:05:22):
Would put in a just like a, holly a shrub type.
Holly there is the several cultivars or species of holly
that will do well. There East polacca is one that
you see planeted around here a. Lot some people Like

(02:05:43):
Burford holly is a plant to put around, here and
you just needed to get high enough to where it
blocks the. View so if the view is your neighbors
standing in the yard next, door they didn't take that
quite that high of a. Hedge if your view as
a neighbor looking out their two story window right at
your property, line takes a tall plant to hide that.
View so according to the height that you, need there

(02:06:06):
are some really good hollies out there that will do
a very good job for.

Speaker 4 (02:06:11):
You what Work, okay this would be a neighbor like
looking from the, driveway wouldn't be a second Story?

Speaker 5 (02:06:21):
Okay, Yeah so you're you're probably looking at something that's
seven feet, high you, know is pretty high for something like.

Speaker 7 (02:06:29):
That.

Speaker 3 (02:06:30):
Uh what part of The houston area are you?

Speaker 6 (02:06:32):
In?

Speaker 4 (02:06:34):
Uh parallem, okay so down?

Speaker 3 (02:06:38):
South?

Speaker 5 (02:06:39):
Yeah uh if you go down To Orges Hidden gardens
there south Of, houston down in the On highway. Six
uh On Elizabeth, street kind of just just between Between
alvin And Santa fe down. There he's got a number
of good shrubs that would be good for. That you

(02:07:00):
could check him out there down. There, uh if you
were in The parland, area you, know let's, See well
it's a little bit of a drive over To, seabrook
But Moss nursery carries some good shrubs over there as.
Well but getting you a good quality holly that way
you've got, evergreen you share. Them it makes a nice dense.

Speaker 9 (02:07:18):
Hedge.

Speaker 5 (02:07:19):
Uh and it DOES i think plenty of what you're
trying to get out of that, plant and that's hiding the,
view blocking the.

Speaker 4 (02:07:25):
View what is the name of the nursery you? Own
highway six.

Speaker 5 (02:07:32):
H Orges Hidden, Gardens Orges Hidden. Gardens let me give
let me give you a phone number because you're gonna
want to call him.

Speaker 3 (02:07:41):
First.

Speaker 5 (02:07:41):
Uh the phone number is seven one three six three
two fifty ninety and tell him that you need you
talk to me on. Guardline you need a, shrub a
holly shrub or some other kind of shrub that'll be
evergreen that'll cover and block a. View there's a native
one another shrub called southern wax myrtle that's native that

(02:08:05):
if you share, it we might make a nice. Hedge
so that would be another. One maybe he has some
of those as.

Speaker 4 (02:08:11):
Well, okay and what's your.

Speaker 3 (02:08:15):
Email i'm gonna put.

Speaker 5 (02:08:19):
You on hold and my producer we'll get that for.
You i'm gonna move on to another. Call don't go.

Speaker 3 (02:08:24):
Away.

Speaker 5 (02:08:25):
Uh we want to go now To, Tomball texas and
talk to Mister. LEE i, believe, YES i have the right.

Speaker 3 (02:08:32):
Name, yes, sir.

Speaker 7 (02:08:37):
Research on the.

Speaker 24 (02:08:38):
Internet just give me a lot of complicting. Information but
about two years, ago had stone rings and around my,
trees and they're about four feet diameter and most foot.
Down and the question is how often do we need
to refresh the? Molts it's about three inches the motion in.

Speaker 3 (02:09:01):
There but, okay, out yep.

Speaker 5 (02:09:07):
Ye what you want to do is you want to
keep a thick enough layer to block weeds and hold in.
Moisture so if your mulch is a very fine, texture
let's say let's go to one, Extreme let's say it
was almost like. Compost, well that's going to break down very,
fast so you're gonna have to replenish it more. Often
if it was something with like three inch, chunks you,
know a bark or wood or. Something, well then that's

(02:09:29):
going to last a long time and you wouldn't have
to replenish it as. Often but generally about once a
year should be sufficient on, mulch give or. Take could
take twice a, year could could not even need it every.
Year but most of the cases we're putting a little
bit of a fresh layer on top about once a,
year just to maintain about a three inch or four

(02:09:51):
inch thick. Layer don't pile it up against the trunk.

Speaker 3 (02:09:54):
Of the, tree right, Right.

Speaker 11 (02:10:00):
Thank.

Speaker 7 (02:10:00):
YOU i appreciate, it.

Speaker 3 (02:10:03):
You, bet thanks for.

Speaker 5 (02:10:03):
Calling appreciate that a. Lot all, right we're going to
run to a break when we come Back vernon And.
Needville you're gonna be the first.

Speaker 3 (02:10:09):
Up we have a time to go out and pick
me up all together now on.

Speaker 5 (02:10:17):
Round, yeah that's, it oh, man oh, man love that.

Speaker 3 (02:10:22):
Song you.

Speaker 5 (02:10:24):
Know we're about to go into the season where we
just got to remember what tomatoes tasted like as it
gets cold around, here sad. SEASON i was talking to
the folks at my microlife the other. DAY i was
actually going To mike himself and uh, saying, hey could
you send me some information on what is in uh
the brown?

Speaker 3 (02:10:45):
Patch?

Speaker 5 (02:10:45):
That, yeah what is the microbial package that you that
you guys have in? There and you, know because micro
life is all about. Microbes that's why they have the name,
microlife because microbes run the. World microbes make plants, Happy
microbes make.

Speaker 3 (02:10:57):
So all better and so. On and he sent me
this list and it is.

Speaker 5 (02:11:00):
UNBELIEVABLE i mean it's like five different genera of, microbes you,
Know bacillis And pseudomonas And, streptomizes trichidermis like. That sixty
three different species of. Microbes every single one of them
we know to have anti fungal, properties or some of
them would enhance, photosynthesis or some of them produce compounds

(02:11:21):
that support, growth some of them fix, nitrogen some of
them help produce, enzymes but mainly anti fungal. Properties that's
why it's in brown. Patch that's why they call it
brown patch because you put it on in the season
when brown patch. Occurs but it's a. Fertilizer AM i confusing?
You microlife brown patch is a fertilizer that is chalk

(02:11:43):
full of sixty three different species of beneficial. Microbes so
when you put that, down you are like making a
very hostile environment out there with all these microbes that
help us help our. Plants that, is and that's how it,
works and it does. Work it's an excellent, product and
it's time to get it down and you need to
do it sooner rather than, LATER i would say, today

(02:12:05):
because you're fixing to get some cool weather in. Here you,
know we get some cool, weather we get a little
bit of, rain stays a little moist out there in the.
Lawn by the, way don't don't are over, water because
you create that problem situation when you. Do but you
got to get it down now so that it's ready
to go When brian pat season, hits and who, knows it.

Speaker 3 (02:12:25):
Could be any.

Speaker 5 (02:12:25):
Day, now let's head out To vernon In. Nadville, now, Hey,
vernon welcome to Garden.

Speaker 7 (02:12:31):
Line how you doing, today?

Speaker 3 (02:12:34):
Sir, hey you Know i'm doing a few weeks ago.

Speaker 14 (02:12:37):
GOOD a few weeks AGO i sent you some pictures
of a peach tree and, man what you told me to?

Speaker 11 (02:12:42):
Do work?

Speaker 14 (02:12:42):
Miracles Now i've sent you some. PICTURE i don't know
if you see my blackberries and my? Blueberries what are
you thinks going on with?

Speaker 7 (02:12:48):
THOSE i?

Speaker 3 (02:12:48):
DID i did?

Speaker 5 (02:12:50):
Well first of, all, congratulations you're the prow and odor
of a bouncing Baby primark freedom. BlackBerry i see. There
that's a good one to. Have you got it in
a nice little creative above ground. Container it's a. Bed
for those of you who aren't looking at the Pictures
i'm looking. At imagine a box above the ground with
a good amount of soil in, it and the BlackBerry's

(02:13:12):
grown in, there and so that's kind of. CREATIVE i like. That,
anyway what you're seeing on your BlackBerry is a leaf. Fungus,
now it's not worth spraying at this. Time the blackberries
will go all through the season and they'll be. Fine
this won't be much of an issue with. Them we
get toward the end of the season and we start
seeing all kinds of things crop. Up but it's just

(02:13:32):
because we're kind of toward the end of the season.
Burning those leaves are coming, Off so it's not worth.
Spraying you're not going to gain hard on any benefit
all from.

Speaker 3 (02:13:42):
Spraying.

Speaker 5 (02:13:43):
Now, now if you start to see that earlier in the,
season you can use a copper based. Spray WHAT i
would recommend you do is when we get into the
dormance season prior to them coming. Out don't do this
when new growth has, started but in the, dormancy and
you can spray all those we call them, canes all
the BlackBerry shoots with a copper based spray to kill

(02:14:06):
any kind of bacteria or fungi that are on those.

Speaker 3 (02:14:09):
Canes BUT i never do. THAT i just let them.
Grow blackberries are.

Speaker 5 (02:14:13):
Tough you might want to scoop up all the leaves
when they fall this winter and get them out of,
there because wherever you have disease, spots you've got spores
that can reinfect splash up there on the.

Speaker 3 (02:14:24):
Plants BUT i THINK i think you're doing everything.

Speaker 5 (02:14:27):
Right just make sure and keep those those soil beds
moist because on a hot summer, day you, know there's
what six sides that that bed can can be exposed
to hot temperatures since it's above, ground, right and and
it'll evaporate faster and they'll they'll pump it. Dry so
just make sure and keep it. Moist the healthier you keep,

(02:14:48):
them the better they're going to.

Speaker 14 (02:14:49):
Do, Okay and on that, BLUEBERRY i got two of.
Them one of them is perfectly. Fine other ones got
those brow.

Speaker 3 (02:14:55):
Leaves, yeah the same. Thing blueberry often at the end
of the. Season do.

Speaker 5 (02:15:01):
This WHAT i do see on your blueberry is it
got too dry at one. Point you got some leaves
where the tips of the leaves are turning, brown and
that is just a temporary dry. Back blueberries like consistently
moist acidic soil to do. WELL i don't see too
many signs of a nutrient. Efficiency but one little shoot

(02:15:22):
at the bottom of the picture is a little strange.
Looking that could be from a little bit of an
exposure to some round up kind of. HERBICIDE i doubt
you put that up there in the, bed but that
symptom sort of looks like, That SO i think you're.
Good just fertilize them with a fertilizer for acid loving.
Plants microlife's got. One it's in kind of a pinkish,

(02:15:44):
bag pinkish red bag that is good for acid loving
plants because blueberries need acidic conditions and consistent soul.

Speaker 14 (02:15:52):
Moisture, Right, Okay, yeah it's in one of the same
beds That i've got the, blackberries And i've got three of.
THOSE i got, blueberry two, blackberries and a blue and
two blueberries in. One but, yeah the hurricane took down
a carport in the back of my.

Speaker 7 (02:16:09):
Property SO i use that.

Speaker 3 (02:16:10):
Sheet metal to build those boxes that. Up but there you.
Go when life gives you, lemons make.

Speaker 14 (02:16:16):
Lemonade actually it is my wife's, suggestion BUT i won't admit.

Speaker 3 (02:16:19):
That, no don't admit that.

Speaker 7 (02:16:24):

ellen welcome to Garden.

Speaker 7 (02:22:44):
Line.

Speaker 20 (02:22:45):
OH i think you just answered one of my, questions which, was,
okay you, KNOW i had this damn nut grass growing
in the in the bed AND i want To i've
already tried the you, know the thirty percent vinegar for
a million times and it doesn't seem to do the
Te it doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (02:23:01):
Well the nights rest put out actually happy from coming.

Speaker 8 (02:23:04):
Back i'm, sorry.

Speaker 5 (02:23:06):
Sir, no night fuss will not not night fuss will
not control the. Nutgrass the barricade will not control nut.

Speaker 3 (02:23:12):
Grass.

Speaker 5 (02:23:13):
Uh, ellen you need to go to my website Garden
gardening With skip dot Com gardening With skip dot. Com
and on that website is a publication Called nutsedge and
In Depth look AND i wrote. It it's just a few,
pages but it explains everything you need to. Know there's
two different kinds of nutsedge we have. Here they don't

(02:23:33):
grow the. Same but how to control. It the fast
answer on nutsedge is you need to spray it as
soon as possible because we're going into fall now as
soon as. Possible with a product like, sedgehammer there's an
ingredient in sedgehammer if you can find that ingredient in other,
brands but it's on the publication and when you do,

(02:23:54):
that it takes a while to. Work it takes you
maybe a couple of weeks and you're looking at it
going is this? Even and about two weeks later then
you see. It but it, works, Right it goes down
and kills. It next time it comes, up you gotta
spread it again with his. Sedgehammer but that product will
work if you are faithful and diligent to never let
that grass up for.

Speaker 9 (02:24:13):
Air so is that a glipe, aside like like roundup
or is.

Speaker 3 (02:24:18):
It a different type of.

Speaker 5 (02:24:20):
Thing, no sedgehammer is a completely different. Thing it it
only works on well pretty much only works on. Sedges
it's not for killing all weeds in general at.

Speaker 12 (02:24:32):
All, okay next, question.

Speaker 3 (02:24:37):

Corner bisonette And runwick if you want to give them
a call seven to one three sixty six six one
seven four. Four all, right, NOW i got a picture.
EARLIER i had a call From jesse who had a.
Weed And jesse has my compliments to the, photographer uh
and the and the person sending. Them but this weed

(02:27:39):
is SOMETHING i want to talk about, today and we've
got a little time here WHERE i can actually do.

Speaker 3 (02:27:43):
That this is a weed called.

Speaker 5 (02:27:46):
Blackland, aster blackland aster or slender. Aster there's several kinds of.
Asters some asters are garden flowers that you. Plant there's
one called fall ass that is so beautiful it'll burst
forth here a little bit with little lavender blooms about

(02:28:06):
the size of a, nickel but they are all over the.
Plant it's a wonderful Native texas native plant to. Have
this weed is not a wonderful plant to, have but
it is also an aster that will make little dime size.

Speaker 3 (02:28:19):
Flowers this weed.

Speaker 5 (02:28:21):
Hides in your lawn when you mow, it but you
can see it when a lawn gets. Stressed your lawn.
Doesn't it has a not so green. Color this weed
is blue, green and those of you listening to. Me
if you see this blue green weed kind of down
low through the, lawn it's only down low because you've
been mowing. It but the weed knows how to stay

(02:28:43):
low and do well.

Speaker 10 (02:28:44):
There.

Speaker 5 (02:28:45):
Okay and if it were in a vacant, lot and
this one That jesse has has had a chance to,
grow and so it's a little taller Than i'm. Describing
But i've seen these things in vacant lots up highs
pockets on your. PANTS i mean they are they can
get to be a really big. Weed but in the
lawn it just goes, horizontal, flat and it weaves in

(02:29:08):
with your. Grass it comes out of a single, taproot
so if your soil is, moist you can pull it
up pretty. Easily, now when they're the size of the
Ones jesse sent me a picture of that is a big.
Plant it probably was a little bit of a tug of,
war but with moist, soil it's got a single tap.
Root even though the lawn weed Maybe i've seen these

(02:29:30):
things two and a half feet across that big in the.
Lawn but when you find the middle of, it there's
one taproot going in the. Ground you grab, it you
pull and wiggle as you as you pull. It you
kind of don't just pull, straight but wiggle as you grow,
it and it comes right out in the. Earlier most
people when they get these things are you, know probably
six inches maybe twelve inches. Across those aren't so hard

(02:29:53):
to pull, up but you need to pull it.

Speaker 3 (02:29:55):
Up and here's.

Speaker 5 (02:29:55):
Why when that thing starts to, bloom it is going
to to produce a bazillion seed for next. Year and
once these weeds become. Reproductive this is true of weeds in.
General if you catch them when they're, young they're easy
to kill with a post emergent broad leaf weed killer
or prevent with a pre emergent before they even come.

(02:30:16):
Up but as they get bigger and start to bloom
and set, seed that's what we mean by, reproductive they're
very difficult to kill and you're not going to get good. Results,
now the weeds in this picture they don't have the
blooms on them, yet so you might still be able
to kill them with a post. EMERGENT i would just
hand pull them, up unless you just have a whole

(02:30:38):
yard full of thick with. THEM i handpull. MINE i
GOT a neighbor doesn't control weeds on their. Property their
weed seeds are always coming into. Mind SO i get
a little five gallon bucket cup of, coffee my little
kneeling bench you can get From Southwest, fertilizer AND i
go out there AND i get the work, done AND
i can pull up a whole bunch of these weeds

(02:30:59):
because they may look, big but they're.

Speaker 3 (02:31:01):
NOT i mean it's.

Speaker 5 (02:31:02):
One you, know an area that looks like it's solid
weeds may have five weed plants in, it you, know
because they spread out, anyway that's what you.

Speaker 3 (02:31:10):
Do sprays. Possible not at this, STAGE i would go
ahead and hand pull those.

Speaker 5 (02:31:15):
Up and here's. Why AND i have a video. CLIP
i need to repost this to social, media but it's
a video clip of these wheat telling you about these.
Wheats and they're called again fall a black land aster
or slender. Aster slender aster is actually a better word
for this. Wheat But i've had these things in the.
Yard i've counted them fifty flowers on one, plant and

(02:31:41):
they make more than that if it's a bigger. Plant fifty.
Flowers and THEN i you, Know i'm. CURIOUS i picked
some flowers AND i took them inside AND i took them,
apart AND i counted the seeds in a, flower AND
i found like thirty to fifty seeds and a. Flower
so if we were to go on the top, end
fifty times fifty two, thousand five hundred seeds on that,

(02:32:03):
plant one weed pulled up before the seeds get loose
and come, loose you know it's bloomed and gone to.
Seed one weed pulled, up and you saved yourself two,
thousand five hundred times that much work next. Year that's
why you need to get those things. Up that's true
of weeds in. General you let clover go to, seed

(02:32:24):
you let anything go to. Seed annual bluegrass go to.
Seed get them before then a few? Weeds why not
just pull them? Up a few more weeds not just
get a little sprayer and hand treat individual. Weeds you
generally don't have to treat the whole lawn to kill existing.
Weeds if it's that, bad you. Can but the earlier

(02:32:45):
you take, action the. BETTER i spent a lot of
time on, that DIDN'T i all, right well there you.
Go let's see we're gonna go To Jersey. Village NOW
i BELIEVE i need to take a, break DON i come, on,
producer tell me do we have? One all, right let
me take a, Break tom And jersey you'll be first
off when we come.

Speaker 9 (02:33:03):

Speaker 14 (02:33:11):
All, right there you.

Speaker 3 (02:33:12):
GO i Love Brad, Baisley Love Bred. Baisley i'll tell you.
What let's do.

Speaker 5 (02:33:16):
This we're going to go now To tom In Jersey. Village, Hey,
tom welcome to Garden.

Speaker 3 (02:33:22):
Line thank.

Speaker 9 (02:33:23):
You. Skip my lovely and gracious wife has been purchasing
tomato seeds since like twenty twenty one with the when
everything was shut down through the, mail and her last
couple of years of tomatoes have been. Disappointing and she
we use, growboxes and she uses a good soil with

(02:33:47):
a leaf compost and micro life and all the things
you're supposed to. Do and is it possible that these
seeds are being irradiated and it's damaging the? Seeds, no, No, no.

Speaker 5 (02:34:05):
Seeds can get. Old they generally just don't. Germinate sometimes
when they're old they'll, germanate but to be kind of,
weak you, know they just don't quite have the energy
to get. Started and you get a little results from. That,
well but you said she was collecting them for, years
and that's What i'm just saying maybe they were older.

(02:34:26):
Seeds but if they're not old, seed if a company
is selling you, seed they should not be selling you old.
Seed companies are pretty good about not doing.

Speaker 9 (02:34:34):
That, OKAY i guess you answered the.

Speaker 5 (02:34:41):
Question, yeah, YEAH i would say that it's not gonna
be anything. ELSE i don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:34:47):
WHAT i don't know. Why, obviously you guys know what you're.

Speaker 5 (02:34:49):
Doing you've garden, before SO i don't know why suddenly
you're not getting the results that you used to. Get
BUT i would u, temperature, light consistent, moisture not too,
wet good quality, mix and and a good seed and
you you should have success with. That SO i DON'T

(02:35:12):
i don't know what else to tell. You you might
try from different sources one, year you, know put some
seed from this source of that. Source see if you
see a. DIFFERENCE i. DON'T i don't think you.

Speaker 3 (02:35:22):
Will, thanks let me ask you.

Speaker 5 (02:35:25):
This, uh, Well i'm still trying to get the bottom
of this for, You, tom what what are tell me
the symptoms again from the time you know you planted
the seed and does it take too long to come?

Speaker 9 (02:35:35):
Up?

Speaker 3 (02:35:36):
Uh kind of described to me what the poor performance looks.

Speaker 9 (02:35:40):
Like they are continually getting it seems like they have
symptoms of virus or. Something but we we Can we've
used fresh, soil and we used leaf leaf mold composts
and microlife and watering through the girl. Box so, okay

(02:36:05):
just the last several years, ago and very. Disappointing very.

Speaker 5 (02:36:10):
Interesting when you say virus, symptom are we talking about
a twisted leaf or is there a kind of a
modeling pattern in the leaf or or what are you
seeing that looks?

Speaker 9 (02:36:19):
Virusy, well the, leaves but also the actual stems are
look like they're. Affected, okay, well that's very. Strange try it.
Again if you see this, symptom send me a picture of.
It let me take a look at the symptoms you're.

(02:36:41):
Seeing in the, meantime you have grown to make us
successfully in the, Past i'm. Sure so if you're seeing
these symptoms and you're doing and you're doing what you've always, done.

Speaker 3 (02:36:52):
That's a little that's a little.

Speaker 5 (02:36:54):
Weird you, KNOW i might try some different sources for,
those but, uh When i'm hearing you describe it And
i'm picturing, it nothing is jumping.

Speaker 3 (02:37:06):
Out.

Speaker 9 (02:37:07):
Uh, locally who has good best tomatoes? Seeds?

Speaker 5 (02:37:12):
