Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are welcome to here fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, back at it we go at home with
Gary Sullivan. We're twenty minutes after the top of the hour.
It's time to bring in our man, the man that
works outside and the landscaping in the yard and the garden,
mister Ron Wilson.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
And mister Wilson, how are you well? I don't do
that on really hot days anymore, you don't, nah, it
takes this toll on me. Come on, I'm sorry. It
just as I've gotten older, it just doesn't work for me.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You know what, I learned something this week? What you'd
always learned something? Right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
So when so I have an underground French dream and
we had some erosion of the soil and the pipe
had cracked, and so I had to replace part of
the pipe and now also extended the pipe down to
a little better place to discharge it, and got the
(00:59):
filled dirt and then guess what I had to do?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
What'd you have to do?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I had to put some sod in and some grass seed.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, grass seed.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, So it wasn't that good.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Either, so it would be tough enough.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's grass seed, you know what's amazing what it started
growing in five days yep. And you know how hot
it was, yep. And I what I learned was you
can't grow grass seed and summer. You just got water.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
You just got to keep the moisture to it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And what I did is every night, about seven o'clock,
I turned the sprinkler on. I can't tell you how
much I put down, but it was a you know,
it's probably fifteen feet long and two feet three feet wide,
and I just let the sprinkler poop poo, poo poom.
You know, maybe a half hour, probably not even quite
(01:57):
that long. Turn it off the next day. Did the
next that sod's as green as convene. The grass seed
came up. I think I'll keep doing it for a while.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But I was gonna say, as long as you keep
that up, you got it made.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, and it's shaded. It's that helped free, that helped.
But uh yeah yeah, And I was I was chuckling
to myself because had I not watered it again, preparation
is the key, right m h, that stuff would never grow.
That sod would be brown by now, and it's only
(02:30):
been it's.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Only been down seven days, eight days cool the thing
about Yeah, the thing about sod is you got to
keep it wet. That's a different story than the grass seed. Right,
grass seeds you keep even moisture. But the sod you
got to keep that wet. And you do that for
about two weeks maybe three. Yeah, it starts to root
in and then you're gonna start to back off on
(02:52):
being wet and just good even moisture.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Of course the grass seed you got to keep that
to it. And I have seen I'm just four, and
then you're doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
That's why you laugh about the grass sea because now
you're stuck with water in it for a while. But
and you know that, but I have seen folks do
that seed it, get it up and growing, then back
off and not tender and not keep the well, you
know what happens is the clay soil was so bad
that it actually you know, clay soil will shrink and
(03:22):
expand when they let it dry out, it shrinks together
and it actually just pinched off the grass bulk right
at the soil level. Yeah, so you know, even moisture
is going to be the key wet for the sod
for another week or two and then and then you
just gonna have to stick with it as to go
through the summer.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, and in the way, I have one of those
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, people come in and say you got that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, we got that.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
But it's kind of interesting because you know, you get
that long stream and at the end of that stream
is where most of the water is, right, and so
I've got it positioned where the seed gets the spray back.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh and then they saw it gets some water. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, and so it's a good situation. But yeah, you know,
it's still possible to grow seed. You just got to
take care of it. And I probably wouldn't do that
if it was a large area. But literally it's fifteen
feet long, twenty feet long and two feet wide, so
it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Much easier to maintain. Very easier for you to do that. Yeah,
as well as you don't go on vacation. Now you're
stuck staying home. Yeah that's okay, unless you called me
to come over and water it for you. Well, you're
busy doing your deck or your steps. I cleaned it.
I cleaned I cleaned it while you were on vacation.
I was out there slaving away.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I can't believe you didn't send the piss out.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I took that. I even bought with that little broom
brush thing. Yeah yeah, oh yeah. I got the scrubber
out and I did the I scrubbed it down. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
How did you use like an oxygen aid bleach or
what kind of clearer do you use there?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I did not. I used something I already had on hand. Uh,
mister clean, Oh okay, it really did work nicely.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You might even hit some oxygen made bleach in there.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Probably. I think there is probably some in that. I
should have read the label. Mm hm, that shouldn't I
have read this? But I mean in water, I had
so much, Yeah, but it came off nicely. In dry
we haven't had a lot of rain, so it's been
able to dry out. The sun's been hitting it and
it looks pretty darn nice. So it is ready to
(05:33):
be sealed, and I have used this past week or
so of hot weather to put off putting the sealer
on it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Sure tell you another thing, run redet label or watching
the company's videos. There's a lot of really neat applicators
out there now. Used to kind of look at a
semi transparent and say, well, you can use like a
tank sprayer and kind of spray it on. That's an option.
Then use a roller or a brush to smooth it out.
There's some new product out there. I think they're almost
(06:01):
like a mop, and they do a great job. They
put enough on. You don't want it to puddle, but
you put enough down. It's pretty easy. It's almost maybe
not a mop, maybe like a truck washing brush or
something along those lines. But they do a great job
of putting that down. So spend a little time in
the applicator aisle and take a look at what's available.
(06:23):
You might be surprised.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Can't you just tell me, well, I spend time in
the applicat aisle.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, I can't tell you the out number. No, I
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
You can't tell me what you have to go to.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Thirty eight thirty eight P.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Thirty eight B thirty eight B bottom shelf, bottom shelf.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Right below the roller top. Well top shelves always good.
Definitely wear a bandana, really, I mean, and don't do
it in direct sunlight when.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's ninety something because I don't want to drip sweat
on it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Well, but you want the sealer to go into the
wood and not into the air.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
What about the sealer that had that's real, that's er
that kind of seals up cracks and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Stay away from it. It really does. It's a three
or four year product. Okay, And that's my opinion. It
does seal the cracks. It's a thick coating. The problem
is it's a water based product that's really thick and
it has a difficult time biting onto pressure treated wood.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, any luck getting Joe Strecker to come out and
help me.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Hey, if you can get him, I'll bring the camera.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
That was fast new.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That's good. Thanks n Take care all right. We'll continue
at Home with Gary Sullivan.
