Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Resident Builder podcast with Peter wolf
Camp from News Talks at be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You and New Talks, there'd be people wolf camp with
you and read to climb past a. Good morning to you, sir.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
H very good morning to you, Piedro.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Indeed, indeed this particular thing.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, I'm well, thank you. I just I decided to
stay home and do all this thing from here because
I'm actually on my way to Palmerston North. Hey, a
couple of quick things. You've got some giveaways today.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I have been doing well the moment, yep.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
That's all right, and I just want to there's a
couple of things that are quite important. Yesterday the Ornithological
group in christ Church went to the Ashley Eatery to
have a look at how the locals there drive with
their cars and run past all the nesting birds. And
it is actually quite a problem because there's some rare
(01:00):
stuff there. It's not very nice. So we are actually
trying to become a generous and a co share species
with other things on the planet. And this is what
this is about. So if you're in that sort of area,
we've got all sorts of creatures breeding there at the moment.
Please be very gentle with them and don't go too close.
That's number one. Number two Kiwi Art Trail starting. This
(01:23):
is actually a really cool thing that started at and
in the Bay of Plenty and that is something in
Towronga that you can have a look at from the
fourteenth of this month, of the seventeenth of November. So
that's going to be good. So and that is actually
quite cool because I'm going to be there later on
and I'll talk about it later on. Anyway, for the
(01:45):
Pay of Plenty Arts and Garden Festival, which will be
held exactly in the same spot. I think this is
something we need to know. We need to sort of
make sure that the people from Pay of Plenty are
coming to go there. Then this is the last thing
that was Next week we're going to be talking Clark Cultivators.
I've had a chat to Chris and it's a lovely
(02:07):
and we talked about giving away a Clack cultivator next
week and also have Clack cultivators if you're like on
special for people that listen to this particular program. Really
it was quite neat. So that's all I'm going to say,
and we'll start it next week. How is that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That's very very cool looking forward to that. That'll be awesome.
I think I've got one of those clak culivators in
my garden bed.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yes you do, and I use it incredibly lost yesterday
because I had. The nice thing with that thing is
you can actually go between the rows plants that you've
planted without actually harming them. It's wonderful stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
So and you mentioned the give away, So I Razine
as you know, or involved with the America's Cup because
they make the codings that go on the bottom of
the boat. And I've actually got some lego models to
give away. But you have to go to my Facebook
page have a look there, answer some questions. It's not
a giveaway. You have to answer the questions and then
that'll cl tomorrow. So that'll be fun as well. Some
(03:09):
leaks always good, righty oh now, actually just yeah, this
is not an endorsement or anything like that. But you know,
the other week we're doing an ad for Yates zero, right,
which is a new no glyca phosphate.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
How do you no?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We'd killer? So you know, I'm a bit of a
magpie like that. So I was down at the local
hardware store. I said where is the stuff. I want
to try some out, and I did yesterday and I
have to say the knockdown is pretty damn impressive. So
that'll be really like, you know, sprayed in the morning
when there was no wind, and by the afternoon they
were looking pretty sick to be.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Fair, pretty exactly the way it is glycate of cord.
This is one of the forms of round up right
and and but this has been made to act very
quickly and very efficiently fast.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, yeah, which is what you want right o. Now
the gardens, it's busy. Next weekend is long weekend, so
people can do lots of things. Is it fertilized, fertilized feed, feed,
and mulch at the.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Moment, Absolutely, that's what I would do. I mean, the
fertilizer is very important because stuff is starting to grow,
the roots are going down, the soil is getting warmer,
so the uptake of your NP and K and all
the trace elements is a lot quicker, pete. And this
is why this is a good time to do it. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Okay, Now, as it happens, we have a lineup of
three davids in a row, so let's start with the
first one. David, you want to talk about your grape vine.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yes, good morning, Rude. Hey, I've got a grape vine
which I'm guessing is over twenty years old. Last year
was very, very vigorous, and this year leaf burst has
come and the leafs that have it open, they're curled
at the edge. Now I think it's got one of
the problems. It's either got some nasty disease. But last
(05:06):
summer all around the route we put in a dick,
a cuter dick, and we did some additional conquorting, and
I fear that the guy the chaper is doing it
for me may have disturbed the roots. So I'm what
to do. My only sedition is that probably goes through
and take off fifty sixty percent of the leaves and
(05:27):
just see if it's going to a bigger to keep going.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I would not do that yet if it is something
to do with let's say lime, you know, the pH
of the of the concrete near the roots and damage
of the roots, I think it needs to heal. So
what I would do is make sure that you water it,
not overwater it, that you water it well, be very
gentle with it, and just let those leaves be because
(05:52):
at the moment, you need those leaves to actually reap
if you like, refurbish the whole plant. If you would
take the leaves off, you have far less photosynthesis that
would help the plant heal it. So leave the leaves.
It's say, as long as it's not something like round
up that you sprayed on it, you know what I mean.
(06:14):
I think you should be fine with that. But leave
it where it is and just look after it. A
little bit of liquid fertilizer it might work as well.
That actually helps them. As we just talked about at
this time of the year, to create new leaves, new branches,
and new roots.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Very good.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I was I was about to get into it with
a big green knife.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So we may no, no, no, don't, don't because of
those leaves, although they might be curled, they can still
do some photosynthesis. That's what the plant needs to heal itself.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
All the is David, I'm welcome. Well, the thing, David
is that if, for example, the concrete, if they did
like an exposed aggregate where you wash off the cement
off the surface, and if that if the wash off
went onto the ground, it will literally kill everything around it.
So you've got to be a bit keyful here as well.
And trees don't generally mix too well do they?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
No, nor does it work when you splash it into
the bloody storm water like I've seen contractors do here
and now and then.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Oh no, we know that, don't we?
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
The devastation downstream?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
But are we becoming a welcome species on this planet?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, sorry, sometimes we're bad.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
We're bad visitors, aren't we.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Oh? I'm yes, and we need some new and very
good if you like it's ancestors ancestors. We need to
create better ancestors. That has become my logo because that
means that the kids know exactly how they live on
this planet. There you are, Boom, it works.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
David number two, talk to me about your Indian bead tree.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yes, hello, peace and good morning Rude. How are you hi?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
There?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
With Tiggs.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
If we looked, I seen had emails through with a
couple of photographs. I don't know if you got them,
don't worry. If he didn't looked, Yes, I bought this
lovely Indian d tree Melia azeak I think is the name?
Is it Melia? But a couple of years ago it
was probably to me the high tree before I could
(08:30):
do anything with it, you know, it was still in
its nursery bag. I got very second turned my back
on things, and the next thing I know, the wood
pigeons came in and landed on the top and slept
all the little branches off. Then the possums came in
and finished lading off. It was despite putting you know
(08:51):
ever many of you know trees around it. I just
got sick and couldn't attend to. But look, half a
year ago noticed what was Basically I thought it did stick,
you know, it did need a high stick setting in
its nursery bag. Still it's gone three three quite strong
side shoots and no about the foot long, and they
(09:11):
have quite many trees, you know, And I thought, instead
instead of introducing it to my log, will do something
with it. So there's really why to take the shreets
off and make new trees? Can it be done?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Or that redicus you hang on you take the shoots
that are still on it to take those off and
what and put them into the ground to make cuttings.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Yes, yeah, that is that possible. Definitely special thing like
reginal hormone or well, this is it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I don't. I have never done that with bee trees,
to be quite honest, I'm actually a bit amazed about
this because the b tree, I think it's a relative
of the niam oil plant, isn't it, isn't it? Yeah,
it's something like that. Anyway, I would not cut that off.
I would let those little side shoots go and make
(10:06):
maybe cut the side shoots at a place where a
new bud goes upwards. Oh, I see, you know what
I'm trying to say, Because you can actually rescue that
tree by growing it upwards from those little side shoots
or rather large side shoots.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I would say, well, but like perny a rose, for example,
above the buds, and you take the cutting and.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Exactly exactly so you're actually having two two if you like,
two goes for the same price. If the tree works,
the tree will give you going, keep you going. And
if the cutting works, you've got a second name tree
or you've got a second Amelia tree.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
You know, I thought initially I could three carefully remove
the shoots. Take It's the Cambrian layer, isn't it. You
have to be careful the Cambrian players on a.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, the Cambium layer is that the you're pretty good
at this. The cambium layer is underneath the back, if
you like, and that is the layer of cells that
makes new cells on the inside, making the lead, the stems,
and the trunks wider, and on the outside it produces back.
And this is exactly how a tree works, right. But
what you can, what I'm trying to say, is that
(11:21):
you can use the outer part of the of the
the two shoots that are still there to try and
make a cutting off and leave the inner parts of
them to grow into a new tree. And exactly as
you said, if you are near a bud or the
outside of a butt that has a butt facing upwards,
you can actually shape it as well.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Okay, isn't nature wonderful you lost a finger?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
If you lost a finger, well with with plants, it
does not with people.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
No, That's why I got my signas is basically have
a lead again to tasted.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
So come on, do you know what? You know what, David?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You should have been a stick in sect because that
when they lose a leg, they actually furbish it, not
to the same size and length, but to a leg
that can still be moving the stick in sect around.
I think These things are amazing, aren't they.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Yeah, nature is amazing.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And so are you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Thank you mate. I was about to make your comment
about the state of my fingers both bendeded up at
the moment, but I'll leave that alone.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Yeah, ah right.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Actually I'll tell you what can we do? Like teen
second answers to the following questions, go uh rud curly
leaf on a nick dream tree.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Ah, yes, there is there is leaf girl, that should
be actually read organized in autumn time when half your
leaves are falling off. Double dose of copper at the
time when your leaves are falling off. Easy, that stops
it from happening the next spring.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Right natural way to kill Or the two big slugs
in the garden.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Go out with the torch at night, put them in
a giant toss them over the fence.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Next awesome asparagus bed eighteen years old, well fertilized. Just
can't get any big fat stalks at the moment. They're
all thin and spindly. Is it bugger technical term from Craig.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
No, because I Craig, I've had exactly the same thing.
I've had a really bad year this year with mosburgers.
They're finally coming around, be kind to them, fertilize them,
just keep going. But these asparagus can live in the
ground for twenty five years and give you asparagus. That
is ridiculous. And I don't know what the hell went on,
same with me.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Now, impossible question, rud. Where have all the thrushes gone
slowly getting fewer and fewer in christ Church?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
No, they're breeding at the moment, very quiet. They're not
letting themselves. Then they're certainly not taking you to the nest,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Right, brilliant, brilliant. Yeah, I'll tell you about the ruors
after the break. Let's take a break back in the mow.
Your new soalks'd be red climbed past with us. We're
talking all things gardening and the wonderful world of bugs
and dinners. A very good morning to.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
You, Yes, good morning to you both. I'm just swinging
regarding my water irrigation system. It has been blocking up
for the last two or three years. And when I
go to clean out the little nozzles on top, there
are strange slug like creatures living right up at the
top in the nozzle, and they are about an inch
(14:49):
or just over long, and like a piece of spaghetti
is short piece of spaghetti and they're just blocking it up.
And I don't know. They're like a slug, but yeah,
what's causing it? How can I get rid of them?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That isn't interesting on Dennis? What color are they? White?
Speaker 8 (15:07):
They are a very pale whitey sort of color, but
sometimes more gray. The last one I pulled out was
very pale, and I had a little gray sort of
could have been its head gray piece at one end.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
How I see.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And that's another thing for glasses on the legs. And yeah, anyway, okay,
look without look And so they're thin and long more
like worms, aren't they?
Speaker 8 (15:38):
Yeah, but short maybe as I say, an an inch
and a half along at the most. And I can
imagine them. Half of them are up in the half
of them are up in the nozzle on the other
half is hanging down into the end of the hose.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
See this is this is interesting because when you have
a dry series, when you've got a dry time in
the garden, slugs and snails are just looking for water
and you're talking about regation system, which is where they
find it is. But there are also worms that would
(16:14):
go into these little tubes and there's all these little things.
Oh God, without seeing them, I can't identify them. There's
something there that I can't identify. Can you send a
good close up photo to Peter Peter wolf Camp. He'll
send it on to me and I'll look at it.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That'd be great. And I'm intrigued too about the irrigation. So, Dennis,
if you just turn the irrigation on, the force of water,
isn't enough to sort of disintegrate the worms and then
the irrigation does it actually block up the heads?
Speaker 8 (16:44):
It blocks up the head I went through all my
system just about three weeks ago, peering for the summer
and make sure they're all going. And I had it
going night before last, and there were a couple. I
saw a couple blocked up and he maybe more one
of them. I undered it, Hello, here's this little wormy
thing back again in the next short time. Yeah. So
(17:10):
I don't know, but I haven't got a photo till
I took a photo of this one. Actually, I'm sitting
on my hand.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So, Dennis, it's Pete at Newstalk sedb dot co dot inz.
So Pete at Newstalk SeeDB dot co dot inz and
I will forward it on to thank you very much
for that and our third David, good morning and welcome.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Hi there. Hey, look, I've got a couple of hospas
that are in the pot and the leaf and the
structure is really quite prolific. But if they send getting
a tacked all the time Uneaton. I've put slug snail
bait all around the base of them everything, But I
just wanted there's something airborne. I can't find the remnant
of any snake, snails or slugs or anything. What do
you say? Yes, because I say that the leaf structure
(17:52):
is really quite prolific. They're really they keep getting eating.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, I know what you mean is that so is
one giveaway is usually slime trails on the leaves for
that and the second thing and this is really serious, David.
That's really cool to do. I do that that night,
head toorch on and go and have a look when
it's dark, especially when it's nice and moist and moist evening.
I'm not saying it rains, but you know what, raight
(18:16):
high relative humidity and you'll find that you can pick
up exactly who's eating it. And my money is still
on slugs and snails that hide as soon as the
sun comes up and I sort of under mulch or whatever,
and they come out again the next to the next evening.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Okay, so there's the bait, and everything I put down
sort of not really worth putting down. Your side, well, no.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I'm not saying it's not worth putting down. But if
I would, for instance, try to catch you, and I
would put down slug bait, whereas you are probably more
interested in eating my apples, which I common, which is
like the leaf of your hostile, then they will go
for the hostile and make no mistake.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Okay, And they're not likely beaten by anything of earborne.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
No, I don't think so. It's the Usually it's usually
those sort of things, unless it's a caterpillar, and they
too would be on the plant, so not airborne. They
can't fly. No, I don't think. I don't if you
think it's birds, I don't think it's birds, to be
quite honest, it's nothing.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
I could spray them with the sort of self like
or not.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Uh No. But as I said, what I would do
is do the do the mahi at night catship whatever
you can find on it, put them in a in
a giant. As I said earlier, toss them over the fence.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Thank you very much, take it.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You have a great day to take care.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I see you later.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And if after looking at the American Cup you want
a Lego model, go to my rime Resent Builder page
on Facebook and go on the drawer. Take care.

at the moment, you need those leaves to actually reap
if you like, refurbish the whole plant. If you would
take the leaves off, you have far less photosynthesis that
would help the plant heal it. So leave the leaves.
It's say, as long as it's not something like round
up that you sprayed on it, you know what I mean.
(06:14):
I think you should be fine with that. But leave
it where it is and just look after it. A
little bit of liquid fertilizer it might work as well.
That actually helps them. As we just talked about at
this time of the year, to create new leaves, new branches,
and new roots.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Very good.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I was I was about to get into it with
a big green knife.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So we may no, no, no, don't, don't because of
those leaves, although they might be curled, they can still
do some photosynthesis. That's what the plant needs to heal itself.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
All the is David, I'm welcome. Well, the thing, David
is that if, for example, the concrete, if they did
like an exposed aggregate where you wash off the cement
off the surface, and if that if the wash off
went onto the ground, it will literally kill everything around it.
So you've got to be a bit keyful here as well.
And trees don't generally mix too well do they?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
No, nor does it work when you splash it into
the bloody storm water like I've seen contractors do here
and now and then.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Oh no, we know that, don't we?
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
The devastation downstream?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
But are we becoming a welcome species on this planet?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, sorry, sometimes we're bad.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
We're bad visitors, aren't we.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Oh? I'm yes, and we need some new and very
good if you like it's ancestors ancestors. We need to
create better ancestors. That has become my logo because that
means that the kids know exactly how they live on
this planet. There you are, Boom, it works.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
David number two, talk to me about your Indian bead tree.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Yes, hello, peace and good morning Rude. How are you hi?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
There?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
With Tiggs.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
If we looked, I seen had emails through with a
couple of photographs. I don't know if you got them,
don't worry. If he didn't looked, Yes, I bought this
lovely Indian d tree Melia azeak I think is the name?
Is it Melia? But a couple of years ago it
was probably to me the high tree before I could
(08:30):
do anything with it, you know, it was still in
its nursery bag. I got very second turned my back
on things, and the next thing I know, the wood
pigeons came in and landed on the top and slept
all the little branches off. Then the possums came in
and finished lading off. It was despite putting you know
(08:51):
ever many of you know trees around it. I just
got sick and couldn't attend to. But look, half a
year ago noticed what was Basically I thought it did stick,
you know, it did need a high stick setting in
its nursery bag. Still it's gone three three quite strong
side shoots and no about the foot long, and they
(09:11):
have quite many trees, you know, And I thought, instead
instead of introducing it to my log, will do something
with it. So there's really why to take the shreets
off and make new trees? Can it be done?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Or that redicus you hang on you take the shoots
that are still on it to take those off and
what and put them into the ground to make cuttings.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Yes, yeah, that is that possible. Definitely special thing like
reginal hormone or well, this is it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I don't. I have never done that with bee trees,
to be quite honest, I'm actually a bit amazed about
this because the b tree, I think it's a relative
of the niam oil plant, isn't it, isn't it? Yeah,
it's something like that. Anyway, I would not cut that off.
I would let those little side shoots go and make
(10:06):
maybe cut the side shoots at a place where a
new bud goes upwards. Oh, I see, you know what
I'm trying to say, Because you can actually rescue that
tree by growing it upwards from those little side shoots
or rather large side shoots.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I would say, well, but like perny a rose, for example,
above the buds, and you take the cutting and.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Exactly exactly so you're actually having two two if you like,
two goes for the same price. If the tree works,
the tree will give you going, keep you going. And
if the cutting works, you've got a second name tree
or you've got a second Amelia tree.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
You know, I thought initially I could three carefully remove
the shoots. Take It's the Cambrian layer, isn't it. You
have to be careful the Cambrian players on a.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, the Cambium layer is that the you're pretty good
at this. The cambium layer is underneath the back, if
you like, and that is the layer of cells that
makes new cells on the inside, making the lead, the stems,
and the trunks wider, and on the outside it produces back.
And this is exactly how a tree works, right. But
what you can, what I'm trying to say, is that
(11:21):
you can use the outer part of the of the
the two shoots that are still there to try and
make a cutting off and leave the inner parts of
them to grow into a new tree. And exactly as
you said, if you are near a bud or the
outside of a butt that has a butt facing upwards,
you can actually shape it as well.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Okay, isn't nature wonderful you lost a finger?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
If you lost a finger, well with with plants, it
does not with people.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
No, That's why I got my signas is basically have
a lead again to tasted.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
So come on, do you know what? You know what, David?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You should have been a stick in sect because that
when they lose a leg, they actually furbish it, not
to the same size and length, but to a leg
that can still be moving the stick in sect around.
I think These things are amazing, aren't they.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Yeah, nature is amazing.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And so are you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Thank you mate. I was about to make your comment
about the state of my fingers both bendeded up at
the moment, but I'll leave that alone.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Yeah, ah right.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Actually I'll tell you what can we do? Like teen
second answers to the following questions, go uh rud curly
leaf on a nick dream tree.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Ah, yes, there is there is leaf girl, that should
be actually read organized in autumn time when half your
leaves are falling off. Double dose of copper at the
time when your leaves are falling off. Easy, that stops
it from happening the next spring.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Right natural way to kill Or the two big slugs
in the garden.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Go out with the torch at night, put them in
a giant toss them over the fence.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Next awesome asparagus bed eighteen years old, well fertilized. Just
can't get any big fat stalks at the moment. They're
all thin and spindly. Is it bugger technical term from Craig.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
No, because I Craig, I've had exactly the same thing.
I've had a really bad year this year with mosburgers.
They're finally coming around, be kind to them, fertilize them,
just keep going. But these asparagus can live in the
ground for twenty five years and give you asparagus. That
is ridiculous. And I don't know what the hell went on,
same with me.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Now, impossible question, rud. Where have all the thrushes gone
slowly getting fewer and fewer in christ Church?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
No, they're breeding at the moment, very quiet. They're not
letting themselves. Then they're certainly not taking you to the nest,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Right, brilliant, brilliant. Yeah, I'll tell you about the ruors
after the break. Let's take a break back in the mow.
Your new soalks'd be red climbed past with us. We're
talking all things gardening and the wonderful world of bugs
and dinners. A very good morning to.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
You, Yes, good morning to you both. I'm just swinging
regarding my water irrigation system. It has been blocking up
for the last two or three years. And when I
go to clean out the little nozzles on top, there
are strange slug like creatures living right up at the
top in the nozzle, and they are about an inch
(14:49):
or just over long, and like a piece of spaghetti
is short piece of spaghetti and they're just blocking it up.
And I don't know. They're like a slug, but yeah,
what's causing it? How can I get rid of them?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That isn't interesting on Dennis? What color are they? White?
Speaker 8 (15:07):
They are a very pale whitey sort of color, but
sometimes more gray. The last one I pulled out was
very pale, and I had a little gray sort of
could have been its head gray piece at one end.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
How I see.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And that's another thing for glasses on the legs. And yeah, anyway, okay,
look without look And so they're thin and long more
like worms, aren't they?
Speaker 8 (15:38):
Yeah, but short maybe as I say, an an inch
and a half along at the most. And I can
imagine them. Half of them are up in the half
of them are up in the nozzle on the other
half is hanging down into the end of the hose.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
See this is this is interesting because when you have
a dry series, when you've got a dry time in
the garden, slugs and snails are just looking for water
and you're talking about regation system, which is where they
find it is. But there are also worms that would
(16:14):
go into these little tubes and there's all these little things.
Oh God, without seeing them, I can't identify them. There's
something there that I can't identify. Can you send a
good close up photo to Peter Peter wolf Camp. He'll
send it on to me and I'll look at it.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That'd be great. And I'm intrigued too about the irrigation. So, Dennis,
if you just turn the irrigation on, the force of water,
isn't enough to sort of disintegrate the worms and then
the irrigation does it actually block up the heads?
Speaker 8 (16:44):
It blocks up the head I went through all my
system just about three weeks ago, peering for the summer
and make sure they're all going. And I had it
going night before last, and there were a couple. I
saw a couple blocked up and he maybe more one
of them. I undered it, Hello, here's this little wormy
thing back again in the next short time. Yeah. So
(17:10):
I don't know, but I haven't got a photo till
I took a photo of this one. Actually, I'm sitting
on my hand.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So, Dennis, it's Pete at Newstalk sedb dot co dot inz.
So Pete at Newstalk SeeDB dot co dot inz and
I will forward it on to thank you very much
for that and our third David, good morning and welcome.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Hi there. Hey, look, I've got a couple of hospas
that are in the pot and the leaf and the
structure is really quite prolific. But if they send getting
a tacked all the time Uneaton. I've put slug snail
bait all around the base of them everything, But I
just wanted there's something airborne. I can't find the remnant
of any snake, snails or slugs or anything. What do
you say? Yes, because I say that the leaf structure
(17:52):
is really quite prolific. They're really they keep getting eating.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, I know what you mean is that so is
one giveaway is usually slime trails on the leaves for
that and the second thing and this is really serious, David.
That's really cool to do. I do that that night,
head toorch on and go and have a look when
it's dark, especially when it's nice and moist and moist evening.
I'm not saying it rains, but you know what, raight
(18:16):
high relative humidity and you'll find that you can pick
up exactly who's eating it. And my money is still
on slugs and snails that hide as soon as the
sun comes up and I sort of under mulch or whatever,
and they come out again the next to the next evening.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Okay, so there's the bait, and everything I put down
sort of not really worth putting down. Your side, well, no.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I'm not saying it's not worth putting down. But if
I would, for instance, try to catch you, and I
would put down slug bait, whereas you are probably more
interested in eating my apples, which I common, which is
like the leaf of your hostile, then they will go
for the hostile and make no mistake.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Okay, And they're not likely beaten by anything of earborne.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
No, I don't think so. It's the Usually it's usually
those sort of things, unless it's a caterpillar, and they
too would be on the plant, so not airborne. They
can't fly. No, I don't think. I don't if you
think it's birds, I don't think it's birds, to be
quite honest, it's nothing.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
I could spray them with the sort of self like
or not.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Uh No. But as I said, what I would do
is do the do the mahi at night catship whatever
you can find on it, put them in a in
a giant. As I said earlier, toss them over the fence.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Thank you very much, take it.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You have a great day to take care.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I see you later.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And if after looking at the American Cup you want
a Lego model, go to my rime Resent Builder page
on Facebook and go on the drawer. Take care.
