Speaker 2 (00:37):
Alrighty our root climb past. A very good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
A very good morning to you.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It's very very foggy in christ Church. It's beautiful here. Yeah,
so I suggest that all the seventy eight point nine
percent of people that drive cars turned their freedom.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
What are anyway?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Hello, how are you people?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm well that you and I both it's not I
started talking about recycling and waste and construction, and obviously
I've got some fairly strong opinions about it, and I
tell you what, that's going to be a topic for
the show for a couple of weeks time. But I
can imagine it is phenomenally wasteful. And I mean, you know,
(01:19):
you're driven by looking to protect the environment from a
nature point of view, and I've got a similar event,
but from what do we do with our waste point
of view?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
So, oh the waste. That's totally totally correct with you
with that. What you were talking about is absolutely important.
And there were some really cool text messages as well,
which I think was nice.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And look, there's options, right, there's options. There are so
many options, so that's great. Hey, look, I know we're
a little bit short on time today, so let's rip
into it. If you've got a question for Rid, please
give us a call now. Eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty is the number to call. You can flick through
a text on nine two name two and Philip A
very good morning to you.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Good morning boys.
Speaker 7 (02:03):
Hello, I have I go a call when you any
merry potatoes?
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Oh yeah, they have a lot they have a lot
of eyes on them and a lot of sprouts.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
And I get up to about a meter and a
half above the.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Ground of green. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Should I take some of those eyes off before I
plant them?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And I would suggest let them go up and take
them off when you assess how many you actually want
in the end and how well they do.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
So this particular plant will probably say, look, this is
what I can do, but not all of them I
think would be would be great. So it's just one
of those things. Do you do you sprout them above
the ground or on the ground?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (02:49):
I spread them before planting?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, of course, yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
So you can then already indicate which one is strong
and which one works.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Okay, right, and just what those weekly looking ones off?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Just a sharp knave whoopie, goodbye, yep, yeah, thank you
soon see I have fun.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, good one that I.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well Colin, sorry, not Colin, that was that was Who
was it?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
That was Philip?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Philip.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's right, he's gone, he's done, he sorted, he is
no mucking around high quick text. Best fertilizer for magnolia.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Oh at the moment, I would just use a general
fertilizer night of Fosco blue. If you want the granular,
I tend to use the wait and forget sea weed.
No seafood soup in this case. But if they are
not flowering too well, do the seafood seaweed tea, which
is kind of contains more potash.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
If you like, and that might stimulate flowering.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Okay, brilliant, we can take short break. We'll talk to
Colin in just a moment. Radio. Let's get into it. Colin,
a very very good morning to you.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Good morning. I've got a problem for rude. I live
in Nelson, and last year I developed another patch of
veggie garden which I grew cucumbers, eggplants, and zucchinis. And
now the cucumbers didn't color. They were sort of a
lemon to lime green, never not the nice dark green.
And the eggplants colored was a battleship gray. I'm just wondering,
(04:32):
what's deficient in that piece of soil.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, that sounds that sounds really weird. Light green indicates
that you might need a bit of nitrogen. What did
you put for soil in your new patch some of.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
My homemade compost?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Ah? Ah? Did?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Was there any mineral or mineral oil? Mineral if you like,
soil there as well?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Rather than.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
No, I dug all all the soil out because it
was it wasn't being productive. I couldn't couldn't even grow
weed in it. So I got rid of that and
put to compost. Then.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, yeah, but you know compost is an organic material
that does not contain any mineral substance. No clay, no saying, no,
nothing like that. It does pay to mix those things in,
though it does pay to have I know what you're
saying about soil can be rubbish because I'm working at
the moment on the soil that I totally hate and
it's far to clay, and you know what I mean,
(05:32):
and it's just it's awful. I was nearly going to
say something that starts with an ess and ends with it,
but that's another story, you know what I mean. But
you need to have a mixture of your organic material,
which your own compost brilliant good, but please use some
scent or clay or whatever or mineral material in it
(05:53):
as well. I think that might be the case that
you don't have a good balance.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yep, yep, So thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I'll work on that and you'll find that if you
then put some normal fertilizer on it and you can
mix that in. Once you've mixed it up very well,
your plants will actually start making all the right colors
that you like, which is, you know, the typical green
colors for the kukees and the glossy purple. If you
like that, you get for your for your egg plants.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
The funny thing is also had zucchinis and there and
they colored up good as gold.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Ha.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, I think I think it's the mix. That's my guess.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Rude. Thank you very much for that.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Welcome all of this to Colin. Take care, thank you?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Righty are we are.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Sneaking a quick call and then we're onto the brakes again. Marrion, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Hi, hi Rose. I've got some seeds and I had
them for about a year and one was Delphonians and
the other one was hollyhowks. Yeah, and of course they're
hanging around and my husband said, no, what we're going
(07:15):
to do with these? And I said, well, I wanted
to put them in the little garden there, and so
I said, shall we germinate them first and then put
them in? He said, oh no, no, you can't do that,
you know. So anyway, he's dog the garden and he's
just spread them around. So it's sort of like if
(07:36):
they live, they live, and if they die, they die
sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, and what what what what do you.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Want what's my question. I don't know. I don't wonder
whether we've done the right thing.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Oh, look, you can. You can actually get them, for instance,
to to become plants, small plants. You can see them
if you like, not in the place where you want
to have them in the end. You can do that
in small pots, you know, with seed raising mix. Does
that make sense?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I suggested, do you know a bit of cloth or
something and put them on there and just germinate them
on there.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
No, not on a cloth, Let's say in a container,
you know, and as a small container with seat raising mix.
Put it in there and you'll get them to grow
from there. You gently take them out when they say
three or four inches tall, and then you put them
in a place where you want them in the garden.
I think that might be the cleverest way to go,
right right.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I'm sort of trying to get that in her story
with my peers hit hollyos and delphiniums and things.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, yeah, that is the safest way of doing it,
because at the moment, even when you get a cold time,
you know, from now on in September, you can I
think this is the good time coming up in September
when it's good to start germinating them.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I recom that's the best way to go.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, he's spattered them in the soil. Now that happens,
Well you will.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Have to see what happens and if it's where are
you which area of New Zealand in Aukland? Okay, so
it's probably okay, you might be you might be getting
away with that.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Yeah, no problem, yeah, yeah, the wife, No, don't.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Throw them throw them away, basket? What are you destrked about?
Waste on this broadram? Now you're throwing them away? Fantastic?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
How you only call Marian? Thank you and all the
very best for that. We're going to take a short
break with you back with Craig. In a moment, you
and you talk, b we're handing over to the sports team.
(10:03):
You when you talk, oh this meeking on? How there
we go. We've got it all, suss. Now we're handing
over to the sports team. Shortly, we're out of delay.
Now we've got Craig and a very good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Hey, good morning, good morning, gentlemen. Appreciate your show and
joy listening to you on Saturday. On Sunday mornings, I've
got a couple of little questions. Food please. I missed
the part of your show a couple of weeks ago
when you were talking about bora and on the fly
and how to treat them. I'm just wondering quickly, if
it is possible to go through that in process, what's
(10:39):
this way of stopping them or killing them all before
they fly.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You're talking about bora in your house, I suppose.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
But both actually in the house and in a lemon tary.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah species okay, different species lemon tree, good man, Okay, house.
First of all, the house borer that we've imported so
nicely from Europe, when all the people from from the
European areas will come into colonize News Zealand. That borer
has been is basically all around the world. It has
(11:11):
a life cycle by which it emerges from the wood
in the beginning of November or late well, no, beginning
of November.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
It is good.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
First of November is a good day to think about. Now,
that's when they make those little holes that you see,
you know, the little borer holes that you see everywhere.
So once you see those holes and you know you're
too late because they're out already. What I would like
you to do in this case is spray the area
where you have the borer normally coming out of spray
(11:42):
that with a really good aerosol that you can get
from safe Works. Safe Works and if you so safe
Works ends with an X. And if you do that,
let's say two weeks before the beginning of November or
you know, something like that, that stuff will be very
good and very if you're like working for months to
(12:05):
come up afterwards. So that means you've protected the wood
from which the borer come. They try to get out,
they chew it, they get the poison in their belly,
and that's the end. They haven't even got time to
think about mating, you know what I mean. That's so
that's being in time in October. So mid October is
(12:26):
a good time to do that. Between mid October to
the end of october's a great time to do it.
So that's the question about your house borer. And it
goes for stuff that you've got in the garden in
the house as well, you know, not lovely wooden furniture
and stuff like that. Same gig, the borer of citrus
(12:48):
is citrus borer is is a different gig that is
something that you cannot do much about because that thing
lives inside the citrus branches, and the only thing you
can do is cut the branches that have got the
borer in it.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
But do that.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Literally in it's a late now, because this is the
time when they're starting to become active. When you do that,
you do that in literally early what do you call
it December? I suppose, which is a good time.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Now, another thing is that if you do have holes
in your citrus plants, in your citrus trees, so it's
the holes in the in the in the in the
branches and in the stems and all that sort of stuff,
you'll find that they have little holes from which they defecate.
They put their pools outside through little holes from that
particular place where they live. If you get yourself a
(13:45):
really good sharpe what do you call it the guitar string,
and you poke that in that hole, you will actually
literally hit them from behind when they don't see it coming,
and you literally kill them that way. You if you
don't have got to a time where you can cut them,
(14:05):
because if you cut them at the wrong time, the
board themselves will lay new eggs on the cut areas
that you've used, So don't cut it from now onwards.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Cut it later in the season. Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Yeah, I understand. Yeah, that's brilliant, awesome.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
It's it's a tricky thing, but yeah, that's all right mate,
it's tricky, but it works like that.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Sorry.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yeah, there might be too many bond holes for the
guitar strings, but it's a good idea when there's.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well as a musician, I've learned that the g string
was the best.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
You take care.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
I've got another quick question if you've got time, really
brief one. Canker and pear trees.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
What is it? Canker in pee trees? Very little? Yeah,
there is there.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
There are diseases in pea trees quite often. It's a
disease that is not the best in the world. Best
thing is to get rid of the damn thing and
plant another one further up.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Honestly, out of.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Here.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Yeah, so in a more open area.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, okay, all the best.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
You crazy, take care.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
And it's funny when people say, oh, look I missed
something on the show the other day and someone said, actually,
this is a great text. Have you thought about recording
your Sunday sessions and having them available later. Yes we have,
Yes we do. So the program gets packaged into a podcast.
You can listen to it anytime, and of course, if
you want to go to a specific part of the program.
In folks, you probably want to listen to Red not me.
(15:41):
So you just go online to ZIB's website and then
select the time that you want to listen to. So
if you've missed something, or we've talked about a specific
product or something like that, you can just go online
either the podcast or the ZB website and you'll find
all of the information there. Last call for the morning, Carol,
A very good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Hello.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Briefly, for Christmas Day, I have a vision of having
you potatoes like the old days. When shall I plant
the new potatoes and the peace.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
From I would say very soon, the early September, I
would say, depending on where you are, I suppose, but
you'll get you'll get quite good from now on. It's
usually ninety days that it takes for a potato to
to to be edible.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
There you go, didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
But briefly, I've all I have put in some sprouting
ofpper potato. I found some potatoes all that sprouted sprout
off and I planted it. Well, why produce potatoes?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, that's how it works, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I don't know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I usually use I
usually used as small potatoes and let them come up
and put those in the in a in a good,
good mixture.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Mind you. I don't grow potatoes. It was usually for.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Julie's work at school where they had a race who
made the biggest and the best potatoes.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And I was the bunny that had to do it.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
Yeah, briefly to sprout off a potato will lets prove
I put it in?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah, but you have to you have to part of
the potato as well, you know, to give it a bit.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, if you go, you can
do it.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
All.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's not ninety days to Christmas?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Is it almost?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Not yet, No way you can. You can freaking out
now you can. Now, you can come back. Come on,
you can do it? Can I go now? Because you
want to watch the rugby?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Don't people want to listen to the rugby? They what's
coming on?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I do something else?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
You go on into the garden, do some weeding, or
do some fertilizer, or you could answer this question. Is
there a place to seem the sample of my garden
soil to get a nutrient breakdown of what it consists of.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yes, there is, and I've never done it. Yes I know,
and I think you can get the nearest people that
do that analysis from your local garden center.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
They know exactly where it is perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And my advice for going to the stores is, if you
want information, you go and find the old grumpy person,
male or female, it doesn't matter who, but they've got
all the info right.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
But it's usually the person that looks after the crap
and the rubbish, Andy, don't throw it in a bin,
the mate.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We're going to be talking a lot about Actually it's
recycling week actually in October, and I've got some fantastic
experts lined up on that, so we'll talk about that
a little bit later in the show. Enjoy your day, Rude,
take care of all this. Buddy. Hey and folks, thanks
for being part of the show. And we've done well
in the ratings, which is awesome and that's up to you,
so thank you very much. Enjoy the Rugby, enjoy your week.
(18:44):

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, that sounds that sounds really weird. Light green indicates
that you might need a bit of nitrogen. What did
you put for soil in your new patch some of.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
My homemade compost?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Ah? Ah? Did?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Was there any mineral or mineral oil? Mineral if you like,
soil there as well?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Rather than.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
No, I dug all all the soil out because it
was it wasn't being productive. I couldn't couldn't even grow
weed in it. So I got rid of that and
put to compost. Then.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, yeah, but you know compost is an organic material
that does not contain any mineral substance. No clay, no saying, no,
nothing like that. It does pay to mix those things in,
though it does pay to have I know what you're
saying about soil can be rubbish because I'm working at
the moment on the soil that I totally hate and
it's far to clay, and you know what I mean,
(05:32):
and it's just it's awful. I was nearly going to
say something that starts with an ess and ends with it,
but that's another story, you know what I mean. But
you need to have a mixture of your organic material,
which your own compost brilliant good, but please use some
scent or clay or whatever or mineral material in it
(05:53):
as well. I think that might be the case that
you don't have a good balance.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yep, yep, So thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I'll work on that and you'll find that if you
then put some normal fertilizer on it and you can
mix that in. Once you've mixed it up very well,
your plants will actually start making all the right colors
that you like, which is, you know, the typical green
colors for the kukees and the glossy purple. If you
like that, you get for your for your egg plants.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
The funny thing is also had zucchinis and there and
they colored up good as gold.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Ha.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, I think I think it's the mix. That's my guess.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Rude. Thank you very much for that.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Welcome all of this to Colin. Take care, thank you?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Righty are we are.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Sneaking a quick call and then we're onto the brakes again. Marrion, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Hi, hi Rose. I've got some seeds and I had
them for about a year and one was Delphonians and
the other one was hollyhowks. Yeah, and of course they're
hanging around and my husband said, no, what we're going
(07:15):
to do with these? And I said, well, I wanted
to put them in the little garden there, and so
I said, shall we germinate them first and then put
them in? He said, oh no, no, you can't do that,
you know. So anyway, he's dog the garden and he's
just spread them around. So it's sort of like if
(07:36):
they live, they live, and if they die, they die
sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, and what what what what do you.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Want what's my question. I don't know. I don't wonder
whether we've done the right thing.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Oh, look, you can. You can actually get them, for instance,
to to become plants, small plants. You can see them
if you like, not in the place where you want
to have them in the end. You can do that
in small pots, you know, with seed raising mix. Does
that make sense?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I suggested, do you know a bit of cloth or
something and put them on there and just germinate them
on there.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
No, not on a cloth, Let's say in a container,
you know, and as a small container with seat raising mix.
Put it in there and you'll get them to grow
from there. You gently take them out when they say
three or four inches tall, and then you put them
in a place where you want them in the garden.
I think that might be the cleverest way to go,
right right.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I'm sort of trying to get that in her story
with my peers hit hollyos and delphiniums and things.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, yeah, that is the safest way of doing it,
because at the moment, even when you get a cold time,
you know, from now on in September, you can I
think this is the good time coming up in September
when it's good to start germinating them.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I recom that's the best way to go.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, he's spattered them in the soil. Now that happens,
Well you will.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Have to see what happens and if it's where are
you which area of New Zealand in Aukland? Okay, so
it's probably okay, you might be you might be getting
away with that.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Yeah, no problem, yeah, yeah, the wife, No, don't.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Throw them throw them away, basket? What are you destrked about?
Waste on this broadram? Now you're throwing them away? Fantastic?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
How you only call Marian? Thank you and all the
very best for that. We're going to take a short
break with you back with Craig. In a moment, you
and you talk, b we're handing over to the sports team.
(10:03):
You when you talk, oh this meeking on? How there
we go. We've got it all, suss. Now we're handing
over to the sports team. Shortly, we're out of delay.
Now we've got Craig and a very good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Hey, good morning, good morning, gentlemen. Appreciate your show and
joy listening to you on Saturday. On Sunday mornings, I've
got a couple of little questions. Food please. I missed
the part of your show a couple of weeks ago
when you were talking about bora and on the fly
and how to treat them. I'm just wondering quickly, if
it is possible to go through that in process, what's
(10:39):
this way of stopping them or killing them all before
they fly.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You're talking about bora in your house, I suppose.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
But both actually in the house and in a lemon tary.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah species okay, different species lemon tree, good man, Okay, house.
First of all, the house borer that we've imported so
nicely from Europe, when all the people from from the
European areas will come into colonize News Zealand. That borer
has been is basically all around the world. It has
(11:11):
a life cycle by which it emerges from the wood
in the beginning of November or late well, no, beginning
of November.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
It is good.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
First of November is a good day to think about. Now,
that's when they make those little holes that you see,
you know, the little borer holes that you see everywhere.
So once you see those holes and you know you're
too late because they're out already. What I would like
you to do in this case is spray the area
where you have the borer normally coming out of spray
(11:42):
that with a really good aerosol that you can get
from safe Works. Safe Works and if you so safe
Works ends with an X. And if you do that,
let's say two weeks before the beginning of November or
you know, something like that, that stuff will be very
good and very if you're like working for months to
(12:05):
come up afterwards. So that means you've protected the wood
from which the borer come. They try to get out,
they chew it, they get the poison in their belly,
and that's the end. They haven't even got time to
think about mating, you know what I mean. That's so
that's being in time in October. So mid October is
(12:26):
a good time to do that. Between mid October to
the end of october's a great time to do it.
So that's the question about your house borer. And it
goes for stuff that you've got in the garden in
the house as well, you know, not lovely wooden furniture
and stuff like that. Same gig, the borer of citrus
(12:48):
is citrus borer is is a different gig that is
something that you cannot do much about because that thing
lives inside the citrus branches, and the only thing you
can do is cut the branches that have got the
borer in it.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
But do that.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Literally in it's a late now, because this is the
time when they're starting to become active. When you do that,
you do that in literally early what do you call
it December? I suppose, which is a good time.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Now, another thing is that if you do have holes
in your citrus plants, in your citrus trees, so it's
the holes in the in the in the in the
branches and in the stems and all that sort of stuff,
you'll find that they have little holes from which they defecate.
They put their pools outside through little holes from that
particular place where they live. If you get yourself a
(13:45):
really good sharpe what do you call it the guitar string,
and you poke that in that hole, you will actually
literally hit them from behind when they don't see it coming,
and you literally kill them that way. You if you
don't have got to a time where you can cut them,
(14:05):
because if you cut them at the wrong time, the
board themselves will lay new eggs on the cut areas
that you've used, So don't cut it from now onwards.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Cut it later in the season. Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Yeah, I understand. Yeah, that's brilliant, awesome.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
It's it's a tricky thing, but yeah, that's all right mate,
it's tricky, but it works like that.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Sorry.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yeah, there might be too many bond holes for the
guitar strings, but it's a good idea when there's.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well as a musician, I've learned that the g string
was the best.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
You take care.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
I've got another quick question if you've got time, really
brief one. Canker and pear trees.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
What is it? Canker in pee trees? Very little? Yeah,
there is there.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
There are diseases in pea trees quite often. It's a
disease that is not the best in the world. Best
thing is to get rid of the damn thing and
plant another one further up.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Honestly, out of.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Here.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Yeah, so in a more open area.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, okay, all the best.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
You crazy, take care.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
And it's funny when people say, oh, look I missed
something on the show the other day and someone said, actually,
this is a great text. Have you thought about recording
your Sunday sessions and having them available later. Yes we have,
Yes we do. So the program gets packaged into a podcast.
You can listen to it anytime, and of course, if
you want to go to a specific part of the program.
In folks, you probably want to listen to Red not me.
(15:41):
So you just go online to ZIB's website and then
select the time that you want to listen to. So
if you've missed something, or we've talked about a specific
product or something like that, you can just go online
either the podcast or the ZB website and you'll find
all of the information there. Last call for the morning, Carol,
A very good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Hello.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Briefly, for Christmas Day, I have a vision of having
you potatoes like the old days. When shall I plant
the new potatoes and the peace.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
From I would say very soon, the early September, I
would say, depending on where you are, I suppose, but
you'll get you'll get quite good from now on. It's
usually ninety days that it takes for a potato to
to to be edible.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
There you go, didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
But briefly, I've all I have put in some sprouting
ofpper potato. I found some potatoes all that sprouted sprout
off and I planted it. Well, why produce potatoes?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, that's how it works, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I don't know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I usually use I
usually used as small potatoes and let them come up
and put those in the in a in a good,
good mixture.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Mind you. I don't grow potatoes. It was usually for.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Julie's work at school where they had a race who
made the biggest and the best potatoes.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And I was the bunny that had to do it.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
Yeah, briefly to sprout off a potato will lets prove
I put it in?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah, but you have to you have to part of
the potato as well, you know, to give it a bit.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, if you go, you can
do it.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
All.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's not ninety days to Christmas?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Is it almost?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Not yet, No way you can. You can freaking out
now you can. Now, you can come back. Come on,
you can do it? Can I go now? Because you
want to watch the rugby?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Don't people want to listen to the rugby? They what's
coming on?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I do something else?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
You go on into the garden, do some weeding, or
do some fertilizer, or you could answer this question. Is
there a place to seem the sample of my garden
soil to get a nutrient breakdown of what it consists of.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yes, there is, and I've never done it. Yes I know,
and I think you can get the nearest people that
do that analysis from your local garden center.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
They know exactly where it is perfect.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And my advice for going to the stores is, if you
want information, you go and find the old grumpy person,
male or female, it doesn't matter who, but they've got
all the info right.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
But it's usually the person that looks after the crap
and the rubbish, Andy, don't throw it in a bin,
the mate.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We're going to be talking a lot about Actually it's
recycling week actually in October, and I've got some fantastic
experts lined up on that, so we'll talk about that
a little bit later in the show. Enjoy your day, Rude,
take care of all this. Buddy. Hey and folks, thanks
for being part of the show. And we've done well
in the ratings, which is awesome and that's up to you,
so thank you very much. Enjoy the Rugby, enjoy your week.
(18:44):
