Speaker 1 (00:35):
Our toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy, talking about yardning moving right on in
through the month of October. Can you believe that? By
the way, before we get going here with some tips
of course, taking your calls, I heard from our good
friends at Wooletts, remember a couple of weeks ago, talking
(00:56):
with the folks from your Woolett's, Elaine Becker and Aaron Mayhew,
have you know, come up with the which I think
is a very interesting and uh you know, I don't
think it's gonna it's not gonna take over the world
as far as the fertilizer concept, but I think it's
a very good idea. I think it's something for you
to consider if you're looking to go all natural organic fertilizers.
(01:18):
Is using these woolets. They are pelletized sheep wool that
is used as a soil amendment. And what's so cool
about them, it's it's all raw wool pellets. They take
the sheep wool which is not used which I didn't
I didn't know that till we talked to them. Really
no demand for that particular type of sheep wool in
(01:39):
the United States, only specific types of sheep, so you
have you know, the sheep have to get sheared at
least once a year, so that stuff just gets thrown away.
Well they take it now, and this has been going
on in Europe for many years, but now we're finally
seeing in the United States they take that and they
actually pelletize it, so they heat it up and they're
able to turn it into pellets that looks it's like
(02:00):
kind of like rabbit food. And then you take those
pellets and add it to your soil. And what's interesting
about the about the raw wool pellets is it helps
to retain moisture. I mean, it's like using those little
polymers that swell up. It's the same kind of a process.
It's a nine zero two with micronutrients in. It increases
(02:21):
soil aeration for root development. It's you know, you don't
you use that instead of peat moss, so you're replacing that.
It works nicely as a slug repellent. And now they're
getting better reviews. As a matter of fact, I just
better reviews for repellents against deer and rabbits, all right,
(02:42):
And it's the lanolin in the wool that acts as
the repellent. I just read an article in Country Folks magazine,
I think it was that was written like an Outdoor
Life or something where they're finding that deer repellance, you know,
how long they last through the winter time with the
snow and all that. They found that the landelein is
(03:04):
actually lasting longer than many of the other deer repellents
that are out there as well. So this thing is
just you know, since we started investigating these and had
the woolets on the show, we're finding it. You know,
it's just sciences. It seems like it's showing up more
and more and people are discovering it exceptable for organic gardeners.
(03:25):
A pound covers three thirty square feet when you're adding
it takes a half a cup per gallon of potting
mix when you're putting it in your containers. And I
will be doing that next year, experimenting in the containers
and raised beds using the woolet pellets. And you can
go their website. It's wilets woolets dot net. That's wallets
L E T s dot net and that's their website.
(03:46):
You can check it out and you can order on there.
Someone asked me yesterday thought it was a wholesale only. No,
you can buy their small several different sizes of the
bags that you can get. But anyway, that's that's where
you want to go check it out. But they sent
me a and email message this week and said, I
want to share some exciting news with you. Last night,
(04:06):
Wooletts received the twenty twenty four Wisconsin Innovation Award in
the Agriculture category. Yeah. So congratulations to the Wooletts with
this great product. And then obviously they're in Wisconsin, but
they won the Wisconsin Innovation Award in the Agriculture department,
(04:27):
so that category, yeah, so great for them. So I
just all of a sudden starting to even hear more
and more about this after we had not And it
wasn't because of our show, but it was because of
the fact that it's I think, getting some attention out there,
and it's something you might want to experiment with next
year and see how it works for you. But it's
it's woolets or wool pellets as a soil amendment. I
(04:48):
think it's a I think it's a wonderful idea. That's
the reason why we had them on the show. And
I think that the idea and what they're doing there
and a great story behind it as well. So and
that's what I really love those types of things. Justina
Block having her on earlier talking about her company Osmia
Bee Company, and then she started that just to get
(05:09):
awareness of the Mason bees and the leaf cutter bees
and the native bees basically using their bee houses to
increase their populations. She started doing that and then got
really into the research and finding out which flowers the
bees actually collected the most pollen from, which I think
(05:30):
is a phenomenal research. They took the pollen and then
put grand DNA test, spun it and run DNA tests
and could tell which flowers it came from. They came
up with over two hundred different flowers narrated down to
the thirty two most popular. So the bees have spoken
and now has a botanical bee blend for the wildflower
(05:51):
seed mix that you can make you a nice patch
of the this botanical bee blend in your backyard. So
and that's Osmia Bee dot com, osmeab dot com, Yes,
o s m ib dot com. I love stories like that.
I love when people are doing this. I love hearing
about these things that they're doing to it, you know,
(06:12):
to make our gardening endeavors more eco friendly, you know,
and easier. And it's just you know, being friendly and
and the wall. It's just I love those kind of
stories and we try to bring you those as much
as we can, especially if the if the end results
are things that we all can benefit from and use
in our own gardens. So there you go. As a
(06:33):
matter of fact, to the other one we had on
a several months or not about a month half ago,
was that earthlifter, the tool that's a gardening spade or
gardening fork with the has the curve on the back
of it so you don't have to put much pressure
on it. Rita Hikenfeld are herbalist. She and her husband
do a lot of gardening and she got one and
it's just been blown away with it how easy it
(06:55):
is to use the things. So those are the types
of things I love telling you all about, especially in
books as well. Now I'm always start starting to get
some new books that are going to be available later
on this month and through the wintertime updates on gardening
and different types of garden and we'll get you lined
up with those as well, and of course I do
read them all first, and if I like them, then
(07:15):
we'll talk about them. If I don't, we don't. But
we got a lot of those coming up for you
as well. So great thing we are in fall falls
planting time. It's a great time to get out and
plant trees. Please get out and plant more trees, very
very important. And I saw a thing the other day
that said, you know, somebody was commenting about don't just
plant a tree, but grow a tree. And I read
(07:37):
the article and it was like, you know, we all
talk about planting trees and we can go out. It's
easy to go out and plant a tree, but then
who takes care of it? So you know, if you
go out and plant trees, also figure out how you're
going to maintain those to grow the tree so you
get it established so it grows. And that was pretty
good suggestion there. So you know, figure out where you're
(07:58):
going to plant and grow a tree or two or three.
Fall is an absolutely wonderful time to do that, So
be sure and do that. And then when you're planning
that tree, don't forget show me the flare. Show me
that root flare. When you go to plant a tree
where it's baldenbur laughter growing in a container, make sure
that the root flare is at the top of that
(08:18):
root ball so that when you plan it, the root
flare is showing when you are done planting. Should be
right at soil level or just a just a tad higher.
But show me that root flare flare when you are planning.
Please make sure so these don't wind up being too deep. Also,
as we're looking at the lawns right now, can we
seed windows really starting to close? I've got a few
(08:40):
bere areas after we've gone through this draft that I
think I'm gonna go aheut and this weekend I'll go
out and I'll rake those up, get the debris out.
I'm gonna go ahead and put some seed down, a
little starter fertilizer. I think we're still good to go.
You can core air right, still can do that at
this stage. How about lawn feeding absolutely spot treating the
weeds in the lawn The weed seeds, the weed and
(09:00):
grass seed don't go together, so you got to do
one or the other unless they're not in the same area.
But October being a great month to go out and
spot treat those weeds as well, and of course as
leaves are starting to fall, we want to mow those
back into the turf. You mow those back into established turfs.
Established turf if it's if you're seating it this fall
and you've got new seat grass seed coming up, or
(09:22):
it's a brand new lawn, wouldn't do it the first year.
We want to do it on more mature, established lawns.
But otherwise, mow those leaves back into your turf, please.
And one last thing before we take a break. I
was at the Proven Winners road show this week. Proven
rent Winner is obviously a plant branding out there. You're
all familiar with it. You see their pots in the
(09:43):
in the garden centers, great plants that they selections and
they come up with every year. And I was looking
at their you know, what's their new coming up for
twenty twenty five and beyond just in all the things
they're doing with the recyclable pots and things like that.
But anyway, you know, a lot of great product out there,
and it reminded me that this time of the year,
(10:03):
I try to remind you that if you grew things
this year, tomatoes, peppers have particular flower, a perennial, whatever,
that your local garden center does not grow, let them
know about it. Stop it and say I do this
tomato and it's absolutely out standing, Or my neighbors does
this plan it does absolutely outstanding. You want to take
a look at this perennial, Go and let them know,
(10:24):
because right now is when they're putting their lists together
for twenty twenty five. And if it's things that you know,
especially annuals, easy for them to change their production and
put that into their production. So let them know about
things that are successful for you in your neighborhood, and
maybe other people have had success with it as well
that they might want to consider growing it for you
(10:45):
and other people to enjoy as well. They love I
love hearing back from local gardeners and their customers as
far as what did really well and if it didn't
do very well, let them know about that too. That's
important as just as important as coming up with new
selections for you to grow as well. All right, quick break,
we come back. Guess what, No, Gary Sulivon he's on vacation,

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Better not because somebody will be in trouble.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I told Dan this morning, I said, you know what's
funny is I? He answer said, we'll talk to you tomorrow.
But it didn't because I said, you know, you have
for the extra segment tomorrow. And then I put that
picture under it, and you you responded about the picture
and I'll talk to you tomorrow. And I said, I'm
not sure if that meant yes or no, or.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Well it meant it meant that. I was just doaddling
around making another cup of coffee. And and here's the
worst thing I had. I had my phone on silent.
I you know, I was at a I had two
zooms yesterday, ron And you know what that's like. You
put your your phone on silent and you don't want
(16:13):
to ringing in the background, and then what happens. Well,
all I could say is I have a smart phone,
but only one of us is.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't have one because I have to be smart
to be able to figure it out. So yeah, I'm
with you. Yeah, that happens to me here because I
have to turn the volume down because of the show,
and then I leave here and I don't turn them
back up, and people are like call right after the show,
and it's like, well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
So I walked in and of course it still is unvibrated.
So I walked in. It was, you know, it was
ringing but vibrating, and I thought, well, who in the
world will be calling me at this time, you know,
right before the show? And uh, and when I picked
up up, you know, there was Dan's well did you
have a moment there that I just sort of went
(17:06):
off into the in the hinterland, and I was thinking, yeah,
all right, it's quite our, right, it's sort of it's
kind of fitting at this time of the year though,
And have you noticed how you had to notice? I mean,
this is how rapidly it's getting dark early.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I like it, you know, it's my favorite. It's my
favorite time of the year. I like I keep us
on regular you know, Eastern standard daylight. I do like
that time thing.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
So I know, I know we are looking.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Forward to going that I know I'm looking forward to
going back to that. Hey, by the way, we got
a couple before we take a break. I have a
serious question for you, something to talk about this week.
And I don't know if you may have, but this
week I actually got three emails, two on Azalea's and
one on Viburnham's loaded with lace bug.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Yeah, I've not gotten the as elia ones. But it's
like it's it's as though the season got extended. I
don't know if that's because of the lack of rain.
I'm pretty sure it might be, or or what else
is afoot. But you know, lacebugs underside of the leaves,
all except for Chrysanthemum lacebug and a few others. However,
(18:23):
as the season rolls along and we start getting in
the past, way in the past, I actually just evoking,
you know, history here when we used to get rain
in the fall.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Do you remember that, Ron, you.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Kind of kind of remember that.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah, rain remember.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, it's a little scary. It's it's water coming down
from the sky. And I'm being a little prespicious about
that because we've always we've always I'm off the subject
just for a second here, but you know, we've always
recommended a renovate lawns in the fall and had to saying,
you know, a bad false season of the seating is
(19:07):
better than a good spring seating for turf grass. But
we've just in my opinion, it's just been a no
go because you would have to water water water, whereas
in the past we could depend somewhat on on the
on the weather. Right, we can get some help from
other nature. So I think that as the season kind
(19:29):
of comes to an end and we usually start seeing,
you know, some rainfall that starts knocking a lot of
these pass off. But but you're right, it seems like
they just kept going. I haven't gotten any calls or
emails that get about as all you laced bug But
(19:49):
I'm trying to think which one. Oh, we got a
break coming.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Up, we believe it or not. Okay, well you're not
used to that, that particular break, but we'll take one.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, that's right. I would take a Gary's doing a
good job there.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You can gather yourself together and we come back. We'll
do the regular two segments of Buggy Joe Boggs Here
in the Garden with Ron Wilson, Green Tomb or not.
Speaker 2 (20:20):

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson's time
for part two of three parts of the Buggy Joe
Bogs Report. We had went through the Surprise Report. The
first report, Yes, surprise.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Begetting is act together report is a surprise.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Even to Joe.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
By the way, that picked that that that picture that
I sent you was Gilmer Pond's third cousin Climber.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Oh my gosh, it was so you know, I have
a face for radio. That's that's let's both agree to that.
And I love doing the show obviously, but there are
times when it would be nice if we could have
a little bit of a visual effect because that was
so funny.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's for real. That's from back in nineteen twenties. I
just I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
They have little kids that are like that too, that
are in some of the I'll send you some of
the other pictures. And what I'm talking about, my god,
this is clowns from back in the twenties, and they
or you talk about the clowns today being spooky that
thing is that is spooky?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Oh I thought it was. I thought it was, you know,
because of the recent well somewhat recent, you know, last
twenty thirty years where you know, you it in you know,
the movie It and and and you know, clowns becoming
really scarious. Thought it was more recent.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I think of it as cousin it.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Well that's you know, there's going to be a certain
have you noticed this run more and more of our
references are designed, you know, to be understood by just
a particular demographic group, if you know. Started noticing that.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
But now, remember that the Adams family did have movies afterwards, So.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
They did, they did, and I think a cartoon, right,
I mean, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
My kids saw something.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, all right, Well I feel better about the cousin
It thing. Yeah. Well, you know, to jump subjects entirely.
I mean, I am going to be doing and I'm
doing this because we had a discussion last week about
spiders or the lack thereof, right, yes, and and so
this week it all started with a hike in the woods,
(24:41):
as many things do.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
I mean, this is sounding a little bit like like
we were talking about clowns, and I forget, I forget
the name of the condition where persons are afraid of clowns.
But I hope we didn't invoke that with people. But
but walking in the woods, walk looking in one of
our local small parks earlier this week, this past week,
(25:07):
I came face to face you know, do I hear?
You know the silence.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Face to face with Joe?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
A large animals? You know, a cougar, a bear. What
are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:21):
An arrowhead spider?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
An arrowhead spider.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Well, they're they're less than the diameter of a dime.
Maybe they're about the diameter of a dime.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
They couldn't even see.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
It because it was right, because it literally one of
those things where you know how things are much much
bigger when they're like an inch from your eyeball. That's
how I saw it. What was happening is I was
looking off the trail.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And let's back up.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Arrowhead spiders. They have the best name of any spider
you know, frankly, even a lot of insects, because it
just describes perfectly. They're abdomen is shaped exactly like an arrowhead,
and their body tends to be somewhat reddish brown with
the abdomen shaped like an arrowhead, having an inside portion
(26:16):
that's very white, so they're really they're really beautiful spiders,
but they're not large. They are orb weavers, and we
talked about this a bit last week. Orb Weavers are
the spiders that make webs that are that look like orbs,
you know, circular webs. But for whatever reason, these arrowhead spiders,
(26:38):
they tend to do this in the woods across forest trails.
You know, if you ever go hiking in the woods
and you just keep hitting spider webs until you finally
get a stick and you kind of hold it out
in front of you, I think we've all done that.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
It's a very high probability the webs that you're hitting
are arrowhead spiders. They're very common, and for whatever reason,
they liked to do that. So I was just hiking
along with my camera looking off. I was looking for
another I was looking for other things. Actually, I was
looking for some squirrel damage, you know where squirrels will
(27:14):
sometimes strip bark, and and just wasn't paying attention. The
trail was pretty flat and no rocks, nothing was going
to twist my ankles, so I didn't really have to
pay a lot of attention where I was going, and
I just turned back and seriously, this spider was right
Thank goodness, I wear glasses or it would have gone
(27:35):
into my eyeball. I mean it was just right there,
and of course I couldn't stop, so, you know, went
right through. The poor spider was you know, no doubt
somewhere on my body. And that just re my screaming
and I, yeah, I may have made a little noise.
I don't know. Yes, the spider, thank you. Yes, they
(27:57):
do make a really loud noise.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The spider.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Ah, yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you. Yeah, that's it.
That's spider made the noise exactly. But uh, it just
it brought back that you and I were kind of
bemoaning last Saturday that we're not seeing these big orb weavers,
you know, are really big spider that we have, not
the not the euro spider or yourro spider that some
(28:24):
listeners are are used to, well not used to that
they know about adding you, but yeah, getting used to,
but you know, we we It just seemed like, you know,
there weren't as many spiders out and about, but it
reminded it was almost like this particular arrowhead whether they're
(28:45):
just hanging out saying we are still here despite what
you and Ron are thinking.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
They Joe, We're still here.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
They're still here. So I'm actually working on a big
alert just about spiders because the other thing.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Again, have you.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Noticed this, Once you declare something that nature has a
tendency just to show up to do the opposite thing
it really is. And I've noticed I've noticed Ron, when
we bring up something on the radio. Now I know
that this is a little over the top, but how
(29:22):
often when we bring up something about, you know, over
the radio, the exact opposite happens. Now, for example, no
one will see lace bugs. You've doomed the entire populations.
It's going to go to the opposite. But I don't
know whether it was just okay, we talked about it
(29:43):
and that kind of raises, you know, our awareness, and
we're looking a little bit harder. But this week, my goodness,
right right next to the house, you know, on the fence,
beautiful funnel web spider. It's actually a location where a
funnel web shows up every year. Those are cool, the
same spider. They really are neat, aren't they. And if
(30:05):
you can catch them, yeah, you can see them zipping
in and out. It's really it's really interesting to watch them,
you know, nab their prey. I like putting a video.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I like putting a pencil on it right up there
and they see if they can come out to try
to grab the pencil.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I never, I haven't tried that.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Just they will make a quick jump and then they
can realize that it's you and then they go back in.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
That's right, there is now for the fountain pin. I
would grab it because I could write, I could use
some pin. I could use a pet.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I never have a pin when I need one, has
a pen when he needs one.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
That's right. They need him because they have the hundreds
of spider lings they have to, you know, kind of
stay in touch with I don't know where that third
cup of coffee with a mistake, where this.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Is where well, where this is headed is to the
break to go into the segment a bugging Jill Boggs

Welcome back, You're in the garden with Ron Wilson Time
for Part three of the Buggy Joe Boggs Report Joe
Boggs OSU Extension obviously their website b y g L
dot O s U dot E d U.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
I like the way you do that E.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
D that you know that sometimes is hard to to clarify, right,
how many times have I had people write down E
t u et E t u or something? You know?
On the spider topic, Another spider that I really do
enjoy watching are the jumping spiders, and they're still out there.
(33:50):
I need to back up just a bit because, okay,
so last week we were talking about not seeing you know,
the funnel web and sheet web spiders that you know,
that kind of that that plac their their their webs
over shrubbery. You know, it looks like a parachute has
landed on the shrubbery, right, which is fitting because it's
(34:11):
also silk. But another spider that is is very common,
you are jumping spiders. And the reason that you and
I brought this up and we're a bit surprised by
maybe not seeing as many is typically this is the
time of year when the adult spiders, so the females
that produce webs are most apparent because spiders in general
(34:35):
overwinter as eggs, as immatures or you know there they
don't overwinter usually as adults. Now I'm painted with a broadbrush,
but that's pretty that's pretty true across the board north
to south. It's pretty much how things work. And then
in the spring, when these eggs hatch, the little spiderlings
(34:58):
produce a little bit of silk, their main attached to
that silk, and the wind carries them off. Now the
why I'm kind of being specific about that is you
and I talked about this earlier in the season that
for some reason on social media and even elsewhere, people
were reporting these these euro spiders, these huge non native
(35:21):
spiders shown up in southeastern US that they're flying right,
remember that It just yeah, yeah, And of course no,
the spiders are the mature spiders are way too heavy
to do this. And I think somebody just got a
story about, you know, the spiderlings, the very small, little
(35:42):
tiny newly hatched spiders dispersing, you know, using webs a
little bit of silk, I should say, and just got
the story mixed up. But jumping spiders don't do that. Well,
they do that to disperse, I shouldn't say. But they
don't use silk to capture their prey. Jumping spiders are hunters.
(36:02):
So these are little spiders that quite honestly, they tend
to kind of start coming into homes a bit in
the fall, and they're coming in tracking prey because they
have excellent eyesight. Like I said, I'm going to be
posting a big alert now, I may be posting it
this morning. And I have some pictures I just took
(36:23):
this past week of a jumping spider and they all have,
like I say, a row of very apparent eyes that
almost look like, you know, another type of animal looking
at you. But that's because again, they rely on that
eyesight for hunting rather than using webbings. So I guess
(36:45):
I didn't realize. I'm just now realizing as this third
segment is moving along that this is just the Spider
the Spider Show.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
You've got me all webbed up, I tell.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
You, are your spider sin is tingling. Now.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
You know, I don't like spiders, but I respect spiders
and I know what they do. I mean I don't,
I don't they you know.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Now, literally, I just realized the song that again, demographically
a lot of people aren't going to so the opening line,
I don't like spiders as snakes of a of a
Jim's stack, one of my favorite singers.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
That Ain't what it Takes to Love.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Yeah, literally, you've you've captured that.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Line, haven't you see?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I'm not a big snake fan either, but you know,
but I really but yeah, but I respect it. So
Jim didn't either. What can I say? I respect both
of them. I leave them alone. I let them do
their thing. But I just they're creepy and uh, you know,
I don't know. I just you know why you don't
like them. I don't like them because I just I
think of the poisonous ones, you know, by a spider,
(37:59):
you know that's poisonous or getting bit by a state
of poisonous, and that's not going to happen very rarely
does that happen was going to happen to us here,
But you know, I guess that's what you think I
think about anyway.
Speaker 5 (38:12):
You know, yeah, yeah, so you So, how did you
feel about a racking a phobia watching that movie?
Speaker 1 (38:20):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
No, no, no.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
No, well you know you do you do bring I'll
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I'm sorry, No, I just said no, I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
You do bring up a good point, though, and this
is a I don't think we've ever talked about this
too much before, but but people do blame a lot
of different skin eruptions on spider bites. And actually there
have been studies not too long ago and and twenty
thirty years ago where where researchers looked into Okay, if
(38:54):
a person goes to a doctor and they claim they've
been bitten by a spider, you know what is it?
And this is particularly true over the recluse spiders. And
I was saying that again very deliberately, because there are
more than what there's more than one species, not just
brown recluse, so that when we just say recluse spiders.
(39:16):
Now there's some parts of the US where recluse spiders
are native and found outdoors. Our part of the US,
so if you move into the northeast, you go up
you know, basically above Kentucky more or less, you start
getting too cold for most of these recluses to live outside,
(39:38):
and so they don't live outside. They may be outside
during the summers, but then they have to overwin their inside.
And these spiders scare people, and you know that you know,
we even had an infestation in our former home, but
no one ever got bitten. And as a matter of fact,
it's extremely extreme rare. The research shows that most of
(40:02):
the so called spider bites are in fact bacterial infections.
Other things have happened, and even the ones you know
where you where, they believe that their skin is dissolving
because yes, okay, spiders do have enzymes they inject into
their prey that that digests the inside of the prey,
(40:22):
which are ninety nine percent of the time insects. So
even though they do have what we call necrotoxins, the
research show that no that was those were bacterial infections
that involve the same type of enzymes. So I'm saying
that very specifically because jumping spiders, For example, my wife
(40:48):
and I do this if we find one in the home,
we just you know, take a piece of paper or something.
And I know you're going to say, swat it. No,
we take a piece of paper a magazine and just
kind of slide under it and take it outside. Because
the number of tons and I use that tons of
(41:08):
insects per acre the spiders can consume of insects is amazing,
and uh, I'm not a ton per acre, but you
show what I'm saying. If we measured out that way,
it's it's really amazing. So they do so much, you know,
to reduce the pests that then would be coming in
(41:29):
our homes or elsewhere. And I know you, you know
you you practice the sand I know you feel the
same way about them, even though they're not through your friends.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Don't kill your favorite.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Animals, all that stuff too. I've just just I still
think that all the time now.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
The wolf spiders, the wolf spiders running around your home sometimes,
I admit, because they can be fast, yes, and.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
And I don't particularly I.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Saw one the size of a tarantula, and I swear
to you, this thing was the biggest thing I've ever seen.
And he was on the concrete floor at the greenhouse
and he went down the crack on the side. I'm like,
you know what, he lives here somewhere then yeah, yeah
he was.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yeah, and you just realize, well, I don't think I'm
going to be working over here.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Yeah I went somewhere else. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
Well yeah, it's uh, well, you know, but you got
to respect it. You gotta respect him.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
I don't spray the corner that's true.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
That's their time. And don't spray for him in your guarden.
I still get I know you do too. How do
I spray to get rid of the Don't do that.
You don't want to get rid of him. Just swat
him off with a broom or something to do something
like that, or hold them off or whatever. But leave
him go. Hey, by the way, Joe, I know you're
a big Hamburger connoisseur. Have you tried the Big Chicken
(42:51):
Mac yet? I have not McDonald's. I'm not big Mac
now with chicken patties instead of Hamburger. Try it what
you think? My brain was so confused because there was
no beef there. My brain was saying, what the heck
is going on here?
Speaker 4 (43:06):
Joe?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Thank you so much, always great information. Talk to you
next Saturday. All right, Thanks all over, colors, Thanks our sponsor.
Thanks to Danny Gleeson, because Danny, without you know this stuff.
What happened? Now, do yourself a favorite. Thanks Dan. Go
out and plant a tree or two or three and
make it the best weekend of your life. See ya.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson
Our toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy, talking about yardning moving right on in
through the month of October. Can you believe that? By
the way, before we get going here with some tips
of course, taking your calls, I heard from our good
friends at Wooletts, remember a couple of weeks ago, talking
(00:56):
with the folks from your Woolett's, Elaine Becker and Aaron Mayhew,
have you know, come up with the which I think
is a very interesting and uh you know, I don't
think it's gonna it's not gonna take over the world
as far as the fertilizer concept, but I think it's
a very good idea. I think it's something for you
to consider if you're looking to go all natural organic fertilizers.
(01:18):
Is using these woolets. They are pelletized sheep wool that
is used as a soil amendment. And what's so cool
about them, it's it's all raw wool pellets. They take
the sheep wool which is not used which I didn't
I didn't know that till we talked to them. Really
no demand for that particular type of sheep wool in
(01:39):
the United States, only specific types of sheep, so you
have you know, the sheep have to get sheared at
least once a year, so that stuff just gets thrown away.
Well they take it now, and this has been going
on in Europe for many years, but now we're finally
seeing in the United States they take that and they
actually pelletize it, so they heat it up and they're
able to turn it into pellets that looks it's like
(02:00):
kind of like rabbit food. And then you take those
pellets and add it to your soil. And what's interesting
about the about the raw wool pellets is it helps
to retain moisture. I mean, it's like using those little
polymers that swell up. It's the same kind of a process.
It's a nine zero two with micronutrients in. It increases
(02:21):
soil aeration for root development. It's you know, you don't
you use that instead of peat moss, so you're replacing that.
It works nicely as a slug repellent. And now they're
getting better reviews. As a matter of fact, I just
better reviews for repellents against deer and rabbits, all right,
(02:42):
And it's the lanolin in the wool that acts as
the repellent. I just read an article in Country Folks magazine,
I think it was that was written like an Outdoor
Life or something where they're finding that deer repellance, you know,
how long they last through the winter time with the
snow and all that. They found that the landelein is
(03:04):
actually lasting longer than many of the other deer repellents
that are out there as well. So this thing is
just you know, since we started investigating these and had
the woolets on the show, we're finding it. You know,
it's just sciences. It seems like it's showing up more
and more and people are discovering it exceptable for organic gardeners.
(03:25):
A pound covers three thirty square feet when you're adding
it takes a half a cup per gallon of potting
mix when you're putting it in your containers. And I
will be doing that next year, experimenting in the containers
and raised beds using the woolet pellets. And you can
go their website. It's wilets woolets dot net. That's wallets
L E T s dot net and that's their website.
(03:46):
You can check it out and you can order on there.
Someone asked me yesterday thought it was a wholesale only. No,
you can buy their small several different sizes of the
bags that you can get. But anyway, that's that's where
you want to go check it out. But they sent
me a and email message this week and said, I
want to share some exciting news with you. Last night,
(04:06):
Wooletts received the twenty twenty four Wisconsin Innovation Award in
the Agriculture category. Yeah. So congratulations to the Wooletts with
this great product. And then obviously they're in Wisconsin, but
they won the Wisconsin Innovation Award in the Agriculture department,
(04:27):
so that category, yeah, so great for them. So I
just all of a sudden starting to even hear more
and more about this after we had not And it
wasn't because of our show, but it was because of
the fact that it's I think, getting some attention out there,
and it's something you might want to experiment with next
year and see how it works for you. But it's
it's woolets or wool pellets as a soil amendment. I
(04:48):
think it's a I think it's a wonderful idea. That's
the reason why we had them on the show. And
I think that the idea and what they're doing there
and a great story behind it as well. So and
that's what I really love those types of things. Justina
Block having her on earlier talking about her company Osmia
Bee Company, and then she started that just to get
(05:09):
awareness of the Mason bees and the leaf cutter bees
and the native bees basically using their bee houses to
increase their populations. She started doing that and then got
really into the research and finding out which flowers the
bees actually collected the most pollen from, which I think
(05:30):
is a phenomenal research. They took the pollen and then
put grand DNA test, spun it and run DNA tests
and could tell which flowers it came from. They came
up with over two hundred different flowers narrated down to
the thirty two most popular. So the bees have spoken
and now has a botanical bee blend for the wildflower
(05:51):
seed mix that you can make you a nice patch
of the this botanical bee blend in your backyard. So
and that's Osmia Bee dot com, osmeab dot com, Yes,
o s m ib dot com. I love stories like that.
I love when people are doing this. I love hearing
about these things that they're doing to it, you know,
(06:12):
to make our gardening endeavors more eco friendly, you know,
and easier. And it's just you know, being friendly and
and the wall. It's just I love those kind of
stories and we try to bring you those as much
as we can, especially if the if the end results
are things that we all can benefit from and use
in our own gardens. So there you go. As a
(06:33):
matter of fact, to the other one we had on
a several months or not about a month half ago,
was that earthlifter, the tool that's a gardening spade or
gardening fork with the has the curve on the back
of it so you don't have to put much pressure
on it. Rita Hikenfeld are herbalist. She and her husband
do a lot of gardening and she got one and
it's just been blown away with it how easy it
(06:55):
is to use the things. So those are the types
of things I love telling you all about, especially in
books as well. Now I'm always start starting to get
some new books that are going to be available later
on this month and through the wintertime updates on gardening
and different types of garden and we'll get you lined
up with those as well, and of course I do
read them all first, and if I like them, then
(07:15):
we'll talk about them. If I don't, we don't. But
we got a lot of those coming up for you
as well. So great thing we are in fall falls
planting time. It's a great time to get out and
plant trees. Please get out and plant more trees, very
very important. And I saw a thing the other day
that said, you know, somebody was commenting about don't just
plant a tree, but grow a tree. And I read
(07:37):
the article and it was like, you know, we all
talk about planting trees and we can go out. It's
easy to go out and plant a tree, but then
who takes care of it? So you know, if you
go out and plant trees, also figure out how you're
going to maintain those to grow the tree so you
get it established so it grows. And that was pretty
good suggestion there. So you know, figure out where you're
(07:58):
going to plant and grow a tree or two or three.
Fall is an absolutely wonderful time to do that, So
be sure and do that. And then when you're planning
that tree, don't forget show me the flare. Show me
that root flare. When you go to plant a tree
where it's baldenbur laughter growing in a container, make sure
that the root flare is at the top of that
(08:18):
root ball so that when you plan it, the root
flare is showing when you are done planting. Should be
right at soil level or just a just a tad higher.
But show me that root flare flare when you are planning.
Please make sure so these don't wind up being too deep. Also,
as we're looking at the lawns right now, can we
seed windows really starting to close? I've got a few
(08:40):
bere areas after we've gone through this draft that I
think I'm gonna go aheut and this weekend I'll go
out and I'll rake those up, get the debris out.
I'm gonna go ahead and put some seed down, a
little starter fertilizer. I think we're still good to go.
You can core air right, still can do that at
this stage. How about lawn feeding absolutely spot treating the
weeds in the lawn The weed seeds, the weed and
(09:00):
grass seed don't go together, so you got to do
one or the other unless they're not in the same area.
But October being a great month to go out and
spot treat those weeds as well, and of course as
leaves are starting to fall, we want to mow those
back into the turf. You mow those back into established turfs.
Established turf if it's if you're seating it this fall
and you've got new seat grass seed coming up, or
(09:22):
it's a brand new lawn, wouldn't do it the first year.
We want to do it on more mature, established lawns.
But otherwise, mow those leaves back into your turf, please.
And one last thing before we take a break. I
was at the Proven Winners road show this week. Proven
rent Winner is obviously a plant branding out there. You're
all familiar with it. You see their pots in the
(09:43):
in the garden centers, great plants that they selections and
they come up with every year. And I was looking
at their you know, what's their new coming up for
twenty twenty five and beyond just in all the things
they're doing with the recyclable pots and things like that.
But anyway, you know, a lot of great product out there,
and it reminded me that this time of the year,
(10:03):
I try to remind you that if you grew things
this year, tomatoes, peppers have particular flower, a perennial, whatever,
that your local garden center does not grow, let them
know about it. Stop it and say I do this
tomato and it's absolutely out standing, Or my neighbors does
this plan it does absolutely outstanding. You want to take
a look at this perennial, Go and let them know,
(10:24):
because right now is when they're putting their lists together
for twenty twenty five. And if it's things that you know,
especially annuals, easy for them to change their production and
put that into their production. So let them know about
things that are successful for you in your neighborhood, and
maybe other people have had success with it as well
that they might want to consider growing it for you
(10:45):
and other people to enjoy as well. They love I
love hearing back from local gardeners and their customers as
far as what did really well and if it didn't
do very well, let them know about that too. That's
important as just as important as coming up with new
selections for you to grow as well. All right, quick break,
we come back. Guess what, No, Gary Sulivon he's on vacation,

Speaker 4 (14:36):
I did it? Okay, really didn't I.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
That was the line above the picture.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Oh oh the picture. Yes, I saw the picture and
responded that and said I.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Talked to you.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Didn't, Yes, you did? Oh my goodness. Well okay, So
now that we're on uh and I'm having my third
cup of coffee, if we can get rolling right, it's all.

sens himself Buggy Joe Bogg.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Well, that was a heck of a start, wasn't And
there you go. Let's hope that. Let's hope the game
in the seeding doesn't start that way.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Better not because somebody will be in trouble.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I told Dan this morning, I said, you know what's
funny is I? He answer said, we'll talk to you tomorrow.
But it didn't because I said, you know, you have
for the extra segment tomorrow. And then I put that
picture under it, and you you responded about the picture
and I'll talk to you tomorrow. And I said, I'm
not sure if that meant yes or no, or.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Well it meant it meant that. I was just doaddling
around making another cup of coffee. And and here's the
worst thing I had. I had my phone on silent.
I you know, I was at a I had two
zooms yesterday, ron And you know what that's like. You
put your your phone on silent and you don't want
(16:13):
to ringing in the background, and then what happens. Well,
all I could say is I have a smart phone,
but only one of us is.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't have one because I have to be smart
to be able to figure it out. So yeah, I'm
with you. Yeah, that happens to me here because I
have to turn the volume down because of the show,
and then I leave here and I don't turn them
back up, and people are like call right after the show,
and it's like, well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
So I walked in and of course it still is unvibrated.
So I walked in. It was, you know, it was
ringing but vibrating, and I thought, well, who in the
world will be calling me at this time, you know,
right before the show? And uh, and when I picked
up up, you know, there was Dan's well did you
have a moment there that I just sort of went
(17:06):
off into the in the hinterland, and I was thinking, yeah,
all right, it's quite our, right, it's sort of it's
kind of fitting at this time of the year though,
And have you noticed how you had to notice? I mean,
this is how rapidly it's getting dark early.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I like it, you know, it's my favorite. It's my
favorite time of the year. I like I keep us
on regular you know, Eastern standard daylight. I do like
that time thing.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
So I know, I know we are looking.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Forward to going that I know I'm looking forward to
going back to that. Hey, by the way, we got
a couple before we take a break. I have a
serious question for you, something to talk about this week.
And I don't know if you may have, but this
week I actually got three emails, two on Azalea's and
one on Viburnham's loaded with lace bug.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Yeah, I've not gotten the as elia ones. But it's
like it's it's as though the season got extended. I
don't know if that's because of the lack of rain.
I'm pretty sure it might be, or or what else
is afoot. But you know, lacebugs underside of the leaves,
all except for Chrysanthemum lacebug and a few others. However,
(18:23):
as the season rolls along and we start getting in
the past, way in the past, I actually just evoking,
you know, history here when we used to get rain
in the fall.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Do you remember that, Ron, you.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Kind of kind of remember that.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah, rain remember.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, it's a little scary. It's it's water coming down
from the sky. And I'm being a little prespicious about
that because we've always we've always I'm off the subject
just for a second here, but you know, we've always
recommended a renovate lawns in the fall and had to saying,
you know, a bad false season of the seating is
(19:07):
better than a good spring seating for turf grass. But
we've just in my opinion, it's just been a no
go because you would have to water water water, whereas
in the past we could depend somewhat on on the
on the weather. Right, we can get some help from
other nature. So I think that as the season kind
(19:29):
of comes to an end and we usually start seeing,
you know, some rainfall that starts knocking a lot of
these pass off. But but you're right, it seems like
they just kept going. I haven't gotten any calls or
emails that get about as all you laced bug But
(19:49):
I'm trying to think which one. Oh, we got a
break coming.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Up, we believe it or not. Okay, well you're not
used to that, that particular break, but we'll take one.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, that's right. I would take a Gary's doing a
good job there.
Speaker 1 (20:01):

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson's time
for part two of three parts of the Buggy Joe
Bogs Report. We had went through the Surprise Report. The
first report, Yes, surprise.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Begetting is act together report is a surprise.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Even to Joe.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
By the way, that picked that that that picture that
I sent you was Gilmer Pond's third cousin Climber.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Oh my gosh, it was so you know, I have
a face for radio. That's that's let's both agree to that.
And I love doing the show obviously, but there are
times when it would be nice if we could have
a little bit of a visual effect because that was
so funny.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's for real. That's from back in nineteen twenties. I
just I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
They have little kids that are like that too, that
are in some of the I'll send you some of
the other pictures. And what I'm talking about, my god,
this is clowns from back in the twenties, and they
or you talk about the clowns today being spooky that
thing is that is spooky?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Oh I thought it was. I thought it was, you know,
because of the recent well somewhat recent, you know, last
twenty thirty years where you know, you it in you know,
the movie It and and and you know, clowns becoming
really scarious. Thought it was more recent.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I think of it as cousin it.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Well that's you know, there's going to be a certain
have you noticed this run more and more of our
references are designed, you know, to be understood by just
a particular demographic group, if you know. Started noticing that.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
But now, remember that the Adams family did have movies afterwards, So.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
They did, they did, and I think a cartoon, right,
I mean, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
My kids saw something.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, all right, Well I feel better about the cousin
It thing. Yeah. Well, you know, to jump subjects entirely.
I mean, I am going to be doing and I'm
doing this because we had a discussion last week about
spiders or the lack thereof, right, yes, and and so
this week it all started with a hike in the woods,
(24:41):
as many things do.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
I mean, this is sounding a little bit like like
we were talking about clowns, and I forget, I forget
the name of the condition where persons are afraid of clowns.
But I hope we didn't invoke that with people. But
but walking in the woods, walk looking in one of
our local small parks earlier this week, this past week,
(25:07):
I came face to face you know, do I hear?
You know the silence.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Face to face with Joe?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
A large animals? You know, a cougar, a bear. What
are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:21):
An arrowhead spider?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
An arrowhead spider.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Well, they're they're less than the diameter of a dime.
Maybe they're about the diameter of a dime.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
They couldn't even see.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
It because it was right, because it literally one of
those things where you know how things are much much
bigger when they're like an inch from your eyeball. That's
how I saw it. What was happening is I was
looking off the trail.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
And let's back up.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Arrowhead spiders. They have the best name of any spider
you know, frankly, even a lot of insects, because it
just describes perfectly. They're abdomen is shaped exactly like an arrowhead,
and their body tends to be somewhat reddish brown with
the abdomen shaped like an arrowhead, having an inside portion
(26:16):
that's very white, so they're really they're really beautiful spiders,
but they're not large. They are orb weavers, and we
talked about this a bit last week. Orb Weavers are
the spiders that make webs that are that look like orbs,
you know, circular webs. But for whatever reason, these arrowhead spiders,
(26:38):
they tend to do this in the woods across forest trails.
You know, if you ever go hiking in the woods
and you just keep hitting spider webs until you finally
get a stick and you kind of hold it out
in front of you, I think we've all done that.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
It's a very high probability the webs that you're hitting
are arrowhead spiders. They're very common, and for whatever reason,
they liked to do that. So I was just hiking
along with my camera looking off. I was looking for
another I was looking for other things. Actually, I was
looking for some squirrel damage, you know where squirrels will
(27:14):
sometimes strip bark, and and just wasn't paying attention. The
trail was pretty flat and no rocks, nothing was going
to twist my ankles, so I didn't really have to
pay a lot of attention where I was going, and
I just turned back and seriously, this spider was right
Thank goodness, I wear glasses or it would have gone
(27:35):
into my eyeball. I mean it was just right there,
and of course I couldn't stop, so, you know, went
right through. The poor spider was you know, no doubt
somewhere on my body. And that just re my screaming
and I, yeah, I may have made a little noise.
I don't know. Yes, the spider, thank you. Yes, they
(27:57):
do make a really loud noise.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
The spider.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Ah, yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you. Yeah, that's it.
That's spider made the noise exactly. But uh, it just
it brought back that you and I were kind of
bemoaning last Saturday that we're not seeing these big orb weavers,
you know, are really big spider that we have, not
the not the euro spider or yourro spider that some
(28:24):
listeners are are used to, well not used to that
they know about adding you, but yeah, getting used to,
but you know, we we It just seemed like, you know,
there weren't as many spiders out and about, but it
reminded it was almost like this particular arrowhead whether they're
(28:45):
just hanging out saying we are still here despite what
you and Ron are thinking.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
They Joe, We're still here.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
They're still here. So I'm actually working on a big
alert just about spiders because the other thing.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Again, have you.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Noticed this, Once you declare something that nature has a
tendency just to show up to do the opposite thing
it really is. And I've noticed I've noticed Ron, when
we bring up something on the radio. Now I know
that this is a little over the top, but how
(29:22):
often when we bring up something about, you know, over
the radio, the exact opposite happens. Now, for example, no
one will see lace bugs. You've doomed the entire populations.
It's going to go to the opposite. But I don't
know whether it was just okay, we talked about it
(29:43):
and that kind of raises, you know, our awareness, and
we're looking a little bit harder. But this week, my goodness,
right right next to the house, you know, on the fence,
beautiful funnel web spider. It's actually a location where a
funnel web shows up every year. Those are cool, the
same spider. They really are neat, aren't they. And if
(30:05):
you can catch them, yeah, you can see them zipping
in and out. It's really it's really interesting to watch them,
you know, nab their prey. I like putting a video.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I like putting a pencil on it right up there
and they see if they can come out to try
to grab the pencil.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
I never, I haven't tried that.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Just they will make a quick jump and then they
can realize that it's you and then they go back in.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
That's right, there is now for the fountain pin. I
would grab it because I could write, I could use
some pin. I could use a pet.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I never have a pin when I need one, has
a pen when he needs one.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
That's right. They need him because they have the hundreds
of spider lings they have to, you know, kind of
stay in touch with I don't know where that third
cup of coffee with a mistake, where this.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Is where well, where this is headed is to the
break to go into the segment a bugging Jill Boggs
here in the garden with Ron Wilson.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Welcome back, You're in the garden with Ron Wilson Time
for Part three of the Buggy Joe Boggs Report Joe
Boggs OSU Extension obviously their website b y g L
dot O s U dot E d U.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
I like the way you do that E.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
D that you know that sometimes is hard to to clarify, right,
how many times have I had people write down E
t u et E t u or something? You know?
On the spider topic, Another spider that I really do
enjoy watching are the jumping spiders, and they're still out there.
(33:50):
I need to back up just a bit because, okay,
so last week we were talking about not seeing you know,
the funnel web and sheet web spiders that you know,
that kind of that that plac their their their webs
over shrubbery. You know, it looks like a parachute has
landed on the shrubbery, right, which is fitting because it's
(34:11):
also silk. But another spider that is is very common,
you are jumping spiders. And the reason that you and
I brought this up and we're a bit surprised by
maybe not seeing as many is typically this is the
time of year when the adult spiders, so the females
that produce webs are most apparent because spiders in general
(34:35):
overwinter as eggs, as immatures or you know there they
don't overwinter usually as adults. Now I'm painted with a broadbrush,
but that's pretty that's pretty true across the board north
to south. It's pretty much how things work. And then
in the spring, when these eggs hatch, the little spiderlings
(34:58):
produce a little bit of silk, their main attached to
that silk, and the wind carries them off. Now the
why I'm kind of being specific about that is you
and I talked about this earlier in the season that
for some reason on social media and even elsewhere, people
were reporting these these euro spiders, these huge non native
(35:21):
spiders shown up in southeastern US that they're flying right,
remember that It just yeah, yeah, And of course no,
the spiders are the mature spiders are way too heavy
to do this. And I think somebody just got a
story about, you know, the spiderlings, the very small, little
(35:42):
tiny newly hatched spiders dispersing, you know, using webs a
little bit of silk, I should say, and just got
the story mixed up. But jumping spiders don't do that. Well,
they do that to disperse, I shouldn't say. But they
don't use silk to capture their prey. Jumping spiders are hunters.
(36:02):
So these are little spiders that quite honestly, they tend
to kind of start coming into homes a bit in
the fall, and they're coming in tracking prey because they
have excellent eyesight. Like I said, I'm going to be
posting a big alert now, I may be posting it
this morning. And I have some pictures I just took
(36:23):
this past week of a jumping spider and they all have,
like I say, a row of very apparent eyes that
almost look like, you know, another type of animal looking
at you. But that's because again, they rely on that
eyesight for hunting rather than using webbings. So I guess
(36:45):
I didn't realize. I'm just now realizing as this third
segment is moving along that this is just the Spider
the Spider Show.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
You've got me all webbed up, I tell.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
You, are your spider sin is tingling. Now.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
You know, I don't like spiders, but I respect spiders
and I know what they do. I mean I don't,
I don't they you know.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Now, literally, I just realized the song that again, demographically
a lot of people aren't going to so the opening line,
I don't like spiders as snakes of a of a
Jim's stack, one of my favorite singers.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
That Ain't what it Takes to Love.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Yeah, literally, you've you've captured that.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Line, haven't you see?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I'm not a big snake fan either, but you know,
but I really but yeah, but I respect it. So
Jim didn't either. What can I say? I respect both
of them. I leave them alone. I let them do
their thing. But I just they're creepy and uh, you know,
I don't know. I just you know why you don't
like them. I don't like them because I just I
think of the poisonous ones, you know, by a spider,
(37:59):
you know that's poisonous or getting bit by a state
of poisonous, and that's not going to happen very rarely
does that happen was going to happen to us here,
But you know, I guess that's what you think I
think about anyway.
Speaker 5 (38:12):
You know, yeah, yeah, so you So, how did you
feel about a racking a phobia watching that movie?
Speaker 1 (38:20):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
No, no, no.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
No, well you know you do you do bring I'll
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I'm sorry, No, I just said no, I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
You do bring up a good point, though, and this
is a I don't think we've ever talked about this
too much before, but but people do blame a lot
of different skin eruptions on spider bites. And actually there
have been studies not too long ago and and twenty
thirty years ago where where researchers looked into Okay, if
(38:54):
a person goes to a doctor and they claim they've
been bitten by a spider, you know what is it?
And this is particularly true over the recluse spiders. And
I was saying that again very deliberately, because there are
more than what there's more than one species, not just
brown recluse, so that when we just say recluse spiders.
(39:16):
Now there's some parts of the US where recluse spiders
are native and found outdoors. Our part of the US,
so if you move into the northeast, you go up
you know, basically above Kentucky more or less, you start
getting too cold for most of these recluses to live outside,
(39:38):
and so they don't live outside. They may be outside
during the summers, but then they have to overwin their inside.
And these spiders scare people, and you know that you know,
we even had an infestation in our former home, but
no one ever got bitten. And as a matter of fact,
it's extremely extreme rare. The research shows that most of
(40:02):
the so called spider bites are in fact bacterial infections.
Other things have happened, and even the ones you know
where you where, they believe that their skin is dissolving
because yes, okay, spiders do have enzymes they inject into
their prey that that digests the inside of the prey,
(40:22):
which are ninety nine percent of the time insects. So
even though they do have what we call necrotoxins, the
research show that no that was those were bacterial infections
that involve the same type of enzymes. So I'm saying
that very specifically because jumping spiders, For example, my wife
(40:48):
and I do this if we find one in the home,
we just you know, take a piece of paper or something.
And I know you're going to say, swat it. No,
we take a piece of paper a magazine and just
kind of slide under it and take it outside. Because
the number of tons and I use that tons of
(41:08):
insects per acre the spiders can consume of insects is amazing,
and uh, I'm not a ton per acre, but you
show what I'm saying. If we measured out that way,
it's it's really amazing. So they do so much, you know,
to reduce the pests that then would be coming in
(41:29):
our homes or elsewhere. And I know you, you know
you you practice the sand I know you feel the
same way about them, even though they're not through your friends.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Don't kill your favorite.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Animals, all that stuff too. I've just just I still
think that all the time now.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
The wolf spiders, the wolf spiders running around your home sometimes,
I admit, because they can be fast, yes, and.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
And I don't particularly I.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Saw one the size of a tarantula, and I swear
to you, this thing was the biggest thing I've ever seen.
And he was on the concrete floor at the greenhouse
and he went down the crack on the side. I'm like,
you know what, he lives here somewhere then yeah, yeah
he was.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yeah, and you just realize, well, I don't think I'm
going to be working over here.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Yeah I went somewhere else. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
Well yeah, it's uh, well, you know, but you got
to respect it. You gotta respect him.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
I don't spray the corner that's true.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
That's their time. And don't spray for him in your guarden.
I still get I know you do too. How do
I spray to get rid of the Don't do that.
You don't want to get rid of him. Just swat
him off with a broom or something to do something
like that, or hold them off or whatever. But leave
him go. Hey, by the way, Joe, I know you're
a big Hamburger connoisseur. Have you tried the Big Chicken
(42:51):
Mac yet? I have not McDonald's. I'm not big Mac
now with chicken patties instead of Hamburger. Try it what
you think? My brain was so confused because there was
no beef there. My brain was saying, what the heck
is going on here?
Speaker 4 (43:06):
