Yeah, all back and uh high weather is bipolar apparently
because we were what, Well, we were cold, then it
got warm, then it got really warm, and then no
jacket weather, and it had a thunderstorm. And then what
was it on Thursday? We had it was in the sixties,
and then we had thunder snow and hail and all
(01:55):
kinds of stuff. And now it's like cold today. It
could be your wrestling Na what thunder snows that could be.
I'm sure there's a wrestler Autter back in the seventies
or the eighties or probably had that. Well, you'd be Thunderstorm.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I already like this, I already know my my my
wrestling name. I already my wrestling name would have been
King Rufus. And I wouldn't have been a wrestler. I'd
been a manager, King Rufus. Yeah, that Mighty Joe. No,
I'd be King Rufus, and I'd be a manager of
all the heels like Bobby Heenan and all those guys
(02:32):
back in the day. All the heels. Yeah, the heels
are the best part of the wrestling.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I watched. I watched a whole bunch of little things
about Dick the Bruiser. Yeah, I mean that's way before
your time. Always see but I'm sure you heard of
Dick the Bruiser. He was pretty I don't know if
he was just always like that, but I mean even
when I had interviews with him on talk shows and stuff,
I had a standing character. I know, he stayed in
character all at the time. He didn't care. Yeah, I
mean stuff he said was just like whoa. Well yeah,
(03:00):
so yeah, they got they gotta keep they gotta keep.
Speaker 1 (03:02):

Speaker 1 (03:27):
There you go. Joe's wrestling my wrestling name A good manager. Yeah.
So so yeah, it's it was. It was a really
funky weather this week and all over the board, all
over the board. So what does that mean for guarding
this week? Just absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing. Just keep doing
(03:47):
what you're doing, you know. Th h I n G. Nothing.
That's what this weather means to me. So it's probably clean.
It's clean up stage, now, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, I mean, you know it's you know, you've been
through this for twenty four years now, it's just the
old you know, get your plans in place, know what
you need to get done. Nice days, get out and
do what you can. Cold days, stay inside and do
what you can, and just keep working back and forth
till we get into more consistent weather. Right, kind of
hold back on the rains. Don't get too anxious yet,
got a long way to go.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I mean, you can't put your tomatoes in the ground yet.
Trust me.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I figured last week when we got that sixty degree
weather that we start getting phone calls when you're going
to have your tomatoes available, thepportunity is going to be available.
We got a ways to go, and we're going to
start pushing the soil temperatures.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Today.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
About watching your soil temps, because that's that's more important
than watching the airtips. When we finally get to where
we're starting to plant the vegetable garden and things like that,
trees and shrubs and all that, landscape crews are already
at it. They're having at it. So you know, if
you find what you were interested in right now, you
can plant. But it's just having all your having a
chart up what you need to do brainy days, you know,
(04:53):
good days, and then go from there.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And daffidils ready to pop too. Daffodils will start to pop,
and you know people are getting warious about that, and
it's like, hey, they know what they're doing. Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They play off the weather. They're okay, they got it.
You know, no problem. Just hang with them, don't cover
them over.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
My daffidils have been planted for goodness, ten to fifteen
years and they come up every year no matter what,
and they bloom every year. They bloom no matter what
the weather is. You cut them back and that's it. Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, So you just you get a hold back on
the reins and just be ready to go when when
the weather's right. So there you go, just kind of
watch the weather seven ten days out, watch the weather.
Listen to Ron rock House. Yeah it's right. Go to
his website. Check it out.
Speaker 1 (05:35):

Katie Dubao if you call Boo Bow Bao is from
Garden Media Group and next starting I think it's it's
next week is kind of a Green in Austry awareness week,
(06:01):
getting involved in the green industry and how there's so
many great opportunities in the green industry that's available out there.
She's going to talk about all those and even if
you're looking at a career change or whatever it may be,
the green industry may be somewhere you want to look.
So it's a green industry awareness week. So we're gonna
have Katie on. We usually if you remember, we have
Katie on typically from the Guard Media Group talking about
(06:22):
the trends from every year there. That's what her company does.
But they're also a way you're really starting to promote
and push this green industry, getting more people involved, and
I think it's a great thing. You know, try to
just make you aware of what's available out there. Can
I hand you my resume? Absolutely going on the bottom
pile of the pile, Huh, Nope, we'll take it. We'll
(06:44):
take it out. But you know there's something again, there's
so many things that you could do in the green
industry out there.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's crazy. I just want to work next to you
in a desk next to you, do you? Yeah? What
makes you think I work at a desk? Got me

I'm glad they put that out because we get a
lot of calls about that and it's, you know, to
understand again, it's you'll understand what they're doing and then

waiting to explode. As a matter of fact, now I'm
starting to get pictures, you know, folks sitting and saying,

landscape beds I see little Harry bittercrest there.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's really sad is that I have all this stuff
in my That's not said, that's a good thing. You

a diversity. Sure, yeah, I got all those dang weeds
in my yard. You go, you can pick them and

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Good morning, Welcome back, talking yardning at eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. I am Ron Wilson,
your personal yard boy. I am excited as I was
talking with Joe. There it is the first of spring,
March the first. Can you believe that I told you
we'd get there? March the first, that's the kickoff. This
is it. It's no looking there, you know, there's no
looking back at this stage. All right, March is here.
(17:51):
Now we start to look forward, and I'm you know,
I'm looking at the weather forecast. It's all over the board,
and that's what's gonna happen, up and down, up and down,
you know. And technically, horticulturally speaking, we would rather have
it stay cooler longer than warmer earlier. We need the
cooler days. We need the plants to just kind of
(18:13):
sit tight for a while. Let's get closer to mid April,
late April, early May before we cut this thing loose.
So let's just get a gradual warm up. What do
you say? So, you know, and again I'm ready to
go for the spring stuff. But you know, again, horticulturally speaking,
it's best on everybody, especially the plants, and that's what's
(18:35):
most important that we just stay cool and hopefully, I
have too many ups and downs. As a matter of fact,
you know, we come out of the winter sometimes and
we see winter damage on hydrangeas flower buds blasted, or
winter damage on Japanese maples and things like that that
we are saying winter damage when in actuality and it
(18:58):
happened with the ups and downs that we in March
and April, and you know, you get two or three
days of pretty warm temperatures, then all of a sudden,
it drops down into the thirties and twenties, does that
for two or three days and back up again, and
you start to get these buds start to swell, become
very tender. Then the temperatures drop back down again, and
that's where we get some late winter early spring damages
(19:21):
on the new growth, some of the buzzs, and some
of the flower buds as well. I've seen hydranges, especially
the macropylotypes, because those buds will react very quickly to
warmer temperatures, just get blasted because all of a sudden,
you get a cold stamp that comes through really cold
for two or three days, and then all of a sudden,
you know, you don't see much as far as the
(19:41):
flowers again the follies comes out looks good and you say, well,
I didn't have any stem die back, So now why
didn't I get any flowers? That could be one of
the reasons. That also happens to a lot of the
berries and fruit trees. We have to be cautious about
that too, So you know, hopefully, you know, we got it,
just a gradual warm up as we go through the
(20:02):
month of March and into April, and then once we
get you know, let's get into April and then let
it break and let let's go, let's have at it.
But that's what we're looking for horticulturally speaking, and I
know everybody's biting it the bit and chomping and the
whole nine yards to get this thing going.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But again, pull in the reins, keep yourself paced, get
your plans together. Good days, get out and do whatever
you need to do. Cooler days, sit back, do what
you need to do indoors. We'll work our way through.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
But I am excited because spring, the meteoritical spring has
officially sprung. Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five.

Mary in Ohio, we go Pete, good morning, good morning,
how are you, sir.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I've listened to your show for years and I never
this is first time calling because I got a quandary.
I'm good with tomatoes, grapes, and you know, a lot
of orchard fruit. But a friend of mine planted a
wildflower garden several years ago, well maybe three or four
years ago, and he's got a beautiful it's about a
(23:39):
twenty foot wide by about maybe one hundred foot long
or better. Wow area that all he did is plant wildflowers,
everything from thistles, milkweed, and on and on and on,
and it's beautiful. It's actually gorgeous. I mean, you can
imagine the colors, sure, but he's got ow many wild
(24:01):
birds that are showing up and him and his wife
love it. And I was thinking of doing something similar,
maybe not so big, but I don't know how to
start to dag on thing and what type of flowers
I should plant.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
You know, if you plant, and again, there are many
wildflower mixes that are out there for you, and if
you plant, there are some that are they're labeled for birds.
But if you plant the wildflower mixes for the pollinators,
if you plant wildflare mixes for butterflies, for pollinators, for bees,
that also benefits the birds, both with insects and the
seed heads that they'll produce as time goes along. And
(24:36):
in that mix you will find you'll see annuals that
come back from seed every year, and you'll find some
that are perennials that come back from the root system
every year, so you get a combination of the two.
A good friend of ours who put together a it's
probably one of the best researched mixes I've seen in
a long time for a pollinator mix is just Tina
(24:59):
Block and her company is Osmia b O s M
I A b E E dot com osmy B.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Wait a better spell that gear?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
All right, O S M I A.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's it, and it's B E E osmia by dot
com and check that out. And she's got a mix
there that's absolutely probably one of the best mixes I've
ever seen. And you can get started now. You can
also do them in the fall either way. I think
that the thing that can be a little bit discouraging
if you've ever never talked to these folks that do this.
At the very beginning, it's hard to figure out which
(25:35):
of the weeds and which are the things that you
really want to grow there, and so you have to
do a little research on that and try to, you know,
so you try to identify what's coming up, and of
course you can't spray. You've got to go and hand
pick those weeds out until you finally work and you'll
still get a few that'll come up, and it's it's
no big deal once you get a nice, nice stand
going like what they're doing. Also, one last one for you,
(25:57):
I got a great reference book for you that I
guarantee you will help walk you through this, especially for
the birds, and it is called bird Friendly Gardening. It's
been a long time since somebody finally came out with
a book that's all about gardening for the birds. And
if you know, when you as you read it, it's
it's almost a cross of gardening for the pollinators slash
(26:18):
gardening for birds. They get a little bit more into
some of the trees and the evergreens and things like
that that birds would also like, as well as including
some of the fruiting, you know, viburnums and things like
that that the birds would enjoy the berries from. But
it's called bird friendly gardening. The author is Jim McGinnis, yep,
(26:40):
bird Friendly Guarding. It is absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend it.
Great ideas in there. She walks you through how to
establish these the you know, like if you're doing like
what you want to do with the pollinator garden, she
walks you through all that. And it's again just released
probably about a month ago. We had it on the
show about two weeks ago. Absolutely one of the best
(27:02):
books out there for bird friendly gardening. And again when
you go through this, if you compare to pollinator books,
they're very similar, but you know, a little more focused
toward gardening for the Birds Bird Friendly Guardening by Jen McGinnis.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
McGinnis, Ye, well, thank you so much. That's been great
help and I'm gonna give it a shot. My my
fiance loves birds, so.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Hey, you know, I look at we were joking because
I and she said she'd steal this from me. But
I look at when you have birds and anything in
the backyard, like you know, in the wildlife, with things
like birds and humming birds and butterflies and all that,
it's like dinner in a show.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
You know, you're right.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
You put that out there. You get to see all
the great things that are in flower. Like you said,
it's absolutely beautiful, and then you get to see all
the activity going on in there. And to me, that's
worth a million bucks just to sit back and what's
that happen.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
That's what I'd like to accomplish, and I appreciate the information.
I'm going to get the book and give that a shot.
I figured it's going to take me a couple of
years to get this really back where I really wanted.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
You're right, and my last comment is, don't you know
be patient, because it'll take you a couple of years
to start to get it where you want it, so
you know, stick with it, but it'll come together and
the rewards from that will be outstanding.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yeah, Like I said, we visited the house I don't know,
in the middle of the summer last year, and it
was magnificent. And like you said, we're sitting there at
the breakfast nook looking out and I said, oh my gosh,
you've got every color bird there is. I just can't
imagine how you did this. And the place was beautiful,
of course, So yeah, I was curious that how do
(28:42):
I start that? How did I get that to go?
And I didn't realize there were books just for that.
When you mentioned when you mentioned pollinator plants, you're talking
about bringing in the bees and the other.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Bees, butterflies, the rumming birds. Yeah, all of those will
all you know. As a matter of fact, Joe Boggs
that we have on our show on a record basis
used to give a talk called butterfly gardens aren't just
for butterflies anymore, because as you plant these butterfly gardens,
it also benefits the birds and other wildlife and and
the pollinators and the bees, the native bees, the honey bees,
(29:17):
they all the beneficiallyseics all benefit from this, so it
becomes it becomes really, you know, such a just a
beneficial garden for all of the above, not just for butterflies.
So that's why I say we can read. Yeah, when
you read the bird Friendly Garden, you'll see crossover. Like
I said that, you know has combos that you will
also read about in hummingbird books or in pollinator books
(29:40):
or butterfly books or whatever. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Yeah, well, thank you so much. I appreciate the information.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You're welcome, Appreciate the call. Appreciate you listen to our show.
All right, Pete, Pete and Mary in Ohio. That's Buckeye
Chuck Country.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Un't forget what I buck eye Chuck saw a shadow.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I think he was. I think he didn't. Maybe he
did not see his shadow. Maybe I don't remember which
one he was. But anyway, they have a Buckeye Chuck
groundhog there, and they I think they still serve fried
spam sandwiches and hot chocolate.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Mm hmmm. Doesn't that sound good to you? Dan?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Fried spam? No, Dan says no, I don't like fright spam.
All right, we'll take a quick break.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And by the way, now, that book again is Bird
Friendly Gardening by Jen McGinnis. Absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Quick break. We come back full lines. You're open for
you at eight hundred eight two three eight two five
five on this first day of the meteorological spring. Here
in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
When you're planning your new plan that's this spring. Remember
it's all about the roots. Hi, Ron Wilson here, when
you're planting those new plants this spring. Here's what you
need to use. Use Fertilome Roots Stimulator and Plant Starter
Solution for everything you plant trees, shrubs, ornamentals and flowers.
This mild starter fertilizer has an actual rooting hormone to
help stimulate new growth. Now you make three applications ten
(31:22):
to fourteen days apart and get up to thirty three
percent more roots. More roots means summer heartiness, increased drought tolerance,
and less insect and fungal issues. Fertilon Roots Stimulator and
Plant Starter Solution also helps to reduce transplant shock and
promotes greener, more vigorous plants. Get your plants started out
the right way, so you can enjoy its beauty sooner
(31:43):
and longer. Ask for Furtlome Roots Stimulat and Plant Starter
solution at your favorite local independent nursery, garden center, or
hardware store, or find a dealer near you at fertilome
dot com. That's Furtilom Roots Stimulator and Plant Starter Solution
(32:48):
eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. That
is our number.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy. It is
the first day of the meteorological spring. Are you excited?
I am, uh spring and sprung? And what is it like,
the twentieth of March. Then we get the astronaut Uh, yeah,
you know it. You know who's celebrating this morning. He's
probably up already shooting off else saw you know it,
the arbor docs out there somewhere celebrating, shooting off fireworks
(33:15):
and the whole nine yards because it's the first day
of spring, meteorological spring, and that's when all the records
are kept. So I still think we should have switched
over to that. Just keep it that. But nevertheless, by
the way, talking with there about the planting for the birds,
planting for the pollinators, and the bees. Osmabete dot com.
That mix is absolutely wonderful. As a matter of fact,
(33:37):
if you go on that website and look up that
B mix, it's a botanical B mix. I think it's
what's called anyway, you'll see it on there. It gives
you instructions on how to create these gardens this meadowland
meadow type garden using their mix. And you can also
take a look at the mix. The list is there
and look at the plants that are on the mix
(33:58):
and if you are wanting to plant them yourself and
you just want to do individuals or whatever, that gives
you a great reference list as well. But that's a
good one. It's osmiabe dot com os me ab dot
com and learn more about that. American Meadows is a
company that does package seeds and you've probably seen like
they do a lot of promotional package seeds, like you know,
(34:20):
if you have a company and you want to give
away seeds to all your employees or whatever, sunflower seeds,
they'll custom do those for you. But they also do
commercial size packages of seed mixes in that anyway, it's
called American Meadow and I think it's American Meadow dot
com if I'm not mistaken, and they have a lot
(34:42):
of those mixes as well that you can order over online.
And they also have great instructions there on how to
start those meadow like prayer, you know, the flower gardens
that you'd like to create wildflower gardens for both the
pollinators and the birds.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
So it's a.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Great thing to do. Be patient. It does take a
couple years to get that established. But once you can
get it going and you get the hang of it
as such a reward sitting there watching what goes on
out there all right to date, and we go we're
going to talk to Cliff Cliff, good morning.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Uh yeah, I have probably planet in nineteen sixty three
salt mapel out in the back of my yard, and
you may know that soft mapels. After a while, the
roofs start protruding above the ground, and mine has about
(35:42):
three of those protrusion, but they have reached a point
where the more will clip the top of them. And
I called a local gardens and with great urgency he
(36:07):
told me not to touch those without conferring with with
narvous that you know that I could kill that tree
right off hand, And it was pretty urgor about it right.
Uh what what what do you say about that? If
(36:29):
I took I only have about three of them protruding,
and only one of them is uh the more clipping it.
But what would you think about he's taking one at
a time out would that start to damage that?
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Could?
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I mean, let's face the fact that, and whoever you
talk to is right. You know, if we can get
by without removing any of those roots, that's the best,
right because obviously they are there for both structural purposes
holding that tree in place and and you know, obviously
at the end of that feeder roots and things like that.
So you know, we want to leave those as best
(37:14):
we can. But in some situations, and depending on the
type of tree, and of course those silver maples are
pretty tough trees, there are situations where an arbor's could
come in, take a look at it and say, okay,
we're going to remove one of them. And I don't
think it's going to be an issue, but somebody needs
to take a look at the tree, see the overall
(37:35):
health and make it make an on site evaluation.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
So I guess that was my only question is not
touch it until I confer it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yep, And the other your other option, Cliff, is this
you can also if you is to take out the
grass and put mulch around the base of the tree
so that that mulch then covers up those roots and
you don't have to mow right around that tree and
protect the roots at the same time. Obviously, Cliff, hitting
them mower taking that more hitting those roots every time
(38:11):
is not a good thing for that root. It can
cause other problems and opens it up to disease and
other insect issues. So we don't want that to happen.
So options would be removing the grass and mulching the area,
removing the grass and planting ground cover in the area,
like you know, something that would fill in fill in
(38:32):
is a green bed underneath it, rather than do it,
rather than actually removing the root and possibly possibly harming
the tree. But again that's something that's where your certified
arborist comes in handy to look at it and say,
you know, and I guarantee you they're going to tell
you what you know that the taking out the root
is not what they want to do. But I think
(38:53):
we can take one out, or I think we could
take two out without much harm enough, but have them
take a look at. But you do have other options,
and that would be the mulching or groundcover or something
like that, so you don't have to mow where that
that root is up in the air.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
All right, Okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
You're welcome, Cliff, good good luck with that. And it's
that's a great question, and it happens a lot, and
it's not just it's not just the when he says,
salt maple is not like all maples that can do that.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Any actually, any tree can do it, and some are
worse than others. All Right, they have those surface roots.
And you know, over time you get to think about this,
where most of the roots for our trees in our area,
at least with our soils the way that they are,
are within the top eighteen inches typically of the soil,
(39:44):
top eighteen inches. And why is that? I mean, you
think about why is that? You think, you know, we
don't have tap roots. There's nothing down there for the plant.
There's nothing beneficial for that plant down deep, and the
soils packed compacted, and it's tough, and there's no oxygen
and no nutrient and you know all of that. So
those roots all stay in that top eighteen inches and
even closer to the surface of the of the of
(40:07):
the soil, so over time you know where the where
the nutrients. If you're feeding the lawn on a regular basis,
where the moisture it comes all the time, where the
air is all the time is right at the top
of the soil level, right, so their roots wind up,
that flare comes right up to the top, and that's
where they are take taking advantage of where all the
good stuff is, and that's why they're there. Some trees
(40:30):
are worse than others. Some trees you never see it,
some trees you do. Maples are generally are pretty good
about doing that, so you know it does happen.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
So what do you do?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
And a lot of times folks will talk about what
kind of bring in top soil and fill over top
of those and just raise the level up so more
grass seed.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Can you? You could?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
No, never put soil up against the truck of a tree.
Don't ever build up the soil level around the trunk
of the tree. Always keep the roof flair exposed and
as it is naturally. Could you raise the soil level
a little bit? You could. I don't recommend it, but
it could be done. An answer two max, and it's
a one time deal. But guess what happens you do that.
(41:14):
You come in, you put a little top soil in,
you bring the level back up a little bit, you
sew the grass seed, and in about two or three years,
guess what starts to peek up above that top soil
that you just put in there?
Speaker 1 (41:25):
The roots, the surface roots. So your long term answer
typically would be get rid of the grass and just
turn it into a mulched bed. All right, and there's
let it be malted around the base, or do a combo.
You could have amult bed and plant some shade loving
perennials in there, or a groundcover of some type to
(41:46):
fill in around the base of the tree. But tree
actually the root removal or something like that. Have a
certified arbist take a look at that. Give it your
their blessing first before you do that. And you're always
taking a risk anytime you would remove any of those
surface roots. There's always a risk involved. Before we take
a break, Dick and Dayton, good.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
Morning, Good morning everybody. How are you?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I am doing great? How about yourself?
Speaker 8 (42:12):
Okay? Hey, you remember we used to have a malt
There was a red of black and a brown and
they put it in the Low's coupon book. It was
good malts. You ever heard of the miracle growing Oh.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's their their diemulches.
Speaker 8 (42:31):
Yeah. It was very popular because you could get ten
bags for like during the sale if you had a coupon,
you know, you didn't do it really sold. And there
was another one that sold was topsoil, topsoil.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Oh yeah, I bet.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
And you know what I always remember, I don't think
of with you sometimes you always talked about how many
folks bought the gravel, the bags of gravel, and you
were talking about how when many many years ago loading
all those bags of gravel in the springtime.
Speaker 8 (43:03):
Yeah yeah, they And you know another thing that was
real popular, private defenses.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Oh yeah, and they still are try to screen off
those neighbors. All right, we gotta go, Dick. Always a
pleasure hearing from you.
Speaker 8 (43:16):
Yeah, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Hey you too, Take care. Dick from Dayton. Always a
pleasure hearing from him. And uh, you know, think about
those mulches, and I don't know that specific one. Always
got to be cautious. Right now, there's so many different
types of mulches out there. And sales going on and
all of that. Make sure it's a true bark mulch.
I am not crazy about the ground up palletts. That's
what they usually will do in a lot of the
(43:38):
least expensive ones, grinding up those palates and then diet
change it, you know, red black around whatever you want.
Not crazy about those. I would be cautious about using those.
Trying to get a bark. A multon is a true
bark based mulch. Quick break we come back. Phone lines
open a few at eight hundred eight two three, eight
two five five Here in the Garden with Ron.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Wilson, Green tom or not.
Speaker 5 (44:07):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three
talk This is in the Garden with Ron Wilson.
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about
yarning on this first day of March. That means we
are now officially at the Meteorological Spring twenty twenty five.
Can't believe it, but I'm glad we're here, and I
am excited. As a matter of fact, I'm excited because
sitting across from me is the man, the myth, the legend.
He is our executive producer. He takes care of our
(00:56):
website at Ron Wilson online dot com facebook page. In
the garden with Ron will and ladies and gentlemen. Mister
Joe Shreker, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm taking a bow, taking a bow, taking a bow.
Kiss the kiss the ring, Kiss the ring. Yes, how's
everybody doing, doctor Z? Two more months until we can
take our shoes off and walk outside barefoot? That your
mom allow you to do that? Yeah? Just think? Only
two more months, that's right, only one month more and
(01:24):
more month to opening day.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Wow, that's crazy, that is, isn't it. It's crazy? March
the first Yeah, everything's happening now.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, all back and uh high weather is bipolar apparently
because we were what, Well, we were cold, then it
got warm, then it got really warm, and then no
jacket weather, and it had a thunderstorm. And then what
was it on Thursday? We had it was in the sixties,
and then we had thunder snow and hail and all
(01:55):
kinds of stuff. And now it's like cold today. It
could be your wrestling Na what thunder snows that could be.
I'm sure there's a wrestler Autter back in the seventies
or the eighties or probably had that. Well, you'd be Thunderstorm.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I already like this, I already know my my my
wrestling name. I already my wrestling name would have been
King Rufus. And I wouldn't have been a wrestler. I'd
been a manager, King Rufus. Yeah, that Mighty Joe. No,
I'd be King Rufus, and I'd be a manager of
all the heels like Bobby Heenan and all those guys
(02:32):
back in the day. All the heels. Yeah, the heels
are the best part of the wrestling.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I watched. I watched a whole bunch of little things
about Dick the Bruiser. Yeah, I mean that's way before
your time. Always see but I'm sure you heard of
Dick the Bruiser. He was pretty I don't know if
he was just always like that, but I mean even
when I had interviews with him on talk shows and stuff,
I had a standing character. I know, he stayed in
character all at the time. He didn't care. Yeah, I
mean stuff he said was just like whoa. Well yeah,
(03:00):
so yeah, they got they gotta keep they gotta keep.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
That character going.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Side oh he did? Yeah, yep, crazy stuff. King what
King Rufus, King Rufus, Ye kind of have a scepter
and everything. Let me write this down, King Rufus, Yes,
r u f all right, p h no, okay, I
thought maybe spell a different or one. Yeah, King Rufus.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
There you go. Joe's wrestling my wrestling name A good manager. Yeah.
So so yeah, it's it was. It was a really
funky weather this week and all over the board, all
over the board. So what does that mean for guarding
this week? Just absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing. Just keep doing
(03:47):
what you're doing, you know. Th h I n G. Nothing.
That's what this weather means to me. So it's probably clean.
It's clean up stage, now, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, I mean, you know it's you know, you've been
through this for twenty four years now, it's just the
old you know, get your plans in place, know what
you need to get done. Nice days, get out and
do what you can. Cold days, stay inside and do
what you can, and just keep working back and forth
till we get into more consistent weather. Right, kind of
hold back on the rains. Don't get too anxious yet,
got a long way to go.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I mean, you can't put your tomatoes in the ground yet.
Trust me.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I figured last week when we got that sixty degree
weather that we start getting phone calls when you're going
to have your tomatoes available, thepportunity is going to be available.
We got a ways to go, and we're going to
start pushing the soil temperatures.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Today.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
About watching your soil temps, because that's that's more important
than watching the airtips. When we finally get to where
we're starting to plant the vegetable garden and things like that,
trees and shrubs and all that, landscape crews are already
at it. They're having at it. So you know, if
you find what you were interested in right now, you
can plant. But it's just having all your having a
chart up what you need to do brainy days, you know,
(04:53):
good days, and then go from there.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And daffidils ready to pop too. Daffodils will start to pop,
and you know people are getting warious about that, and
it's like, hey, they know what they're doing. Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They play off the weather. They're okay, they got it.
You know, no problem. Just hang with them, don't cover
them over.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
My daffidils have been planted for goodness, ten to fifteen
years and they come up every year no matter what,
and they bloom every year. They bloom no matter what
the weather is. You cut them back and that's it. Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, So you just you get a hold back on
the reins and just be ready to go when when
the weather's right. So there you go, just kind of
watch the weather seven ten days out, watch the weather.
Listen to Ron rock House. Yeah it's right. Go to
his website. Check it out.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
He'll always have things posted for you. So who do
you have on the show today, mister Wilson, Who do.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
We have on the show today? I don't know who
do we have on the show today? We had tell me, well,
we have you, and then we have Katie Dubao and
Katie Dubao if you call Boo Bow Bao is from
Garden Media Group and next starting I think it's it's
next week is kind of a Green in Austry awareness week,
(06:01):
getting involved in the green industry and how there's so
many great opportunities in the green industry that's available out there.
She's going to talk about all those and even if
you're looking at a career change or whatever it may be,
the green industry may be somewhere you want to look.
So it's a green industry awareness week. So we're gonna
have Katie on. We usually if you remember, we have
Katie on typically from the Guard Media Group talking about
(06:22):
the trends from every year there. That's what her company does.
But they're also a way you're really starting to promote
and push this green industry, getting more people involved, and
I think it's a great thing. You know, try to
just make you aware of what's available out there. Can
I hand you my resume? Absolutely going on the bottom
pile of the pile, Huh, Nope, we'll take it. We'll
(06:44):
take it out. But you know there's something again, there's
so many things that you could do in the green
industry out there.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's crazy. I just want to work next to you
in a desk next to you, do you? Yeah? What
makes you think I work at a desk? Got me
on that one.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
See, I'm a combo. I'm in and out. I had
a lot two hours for the emails and all that
stuff at the desk and out. I'll work part time
at the desks for those two hours. There you go,
that's good. Yeah, and we'll just answer questions and write
a copy for funny commercials there you.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Never air, and.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
They do, but never get any attention. That we think
were funny though, right, we thought were the best. They were,
they were the best.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It were good. Anytime I played those for anybody there
they laughing. Who was that?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
What was that for?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Still got Eddie and Joey in the garage?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh yeah, I still have them on all the recordings.
So I actually have Edian Joey, but you have the
actual Eddie and joe gardening nose. We never got a Jamie, No,
we didn't. Hmm, way, I bet we could find one, now,
I bet we could too. Oh, there's some gnomes out
there that it's crazy. So uh so, yeah, they say
(07:59):
it right with your Homer Simpson stuff. Well, then they
had more Simpsons than I ever saw anywhere. They eventually
made it outside. Then they got repainted because the weather,
kind of weather. And I'm those were those concrete, No
they're not. They were plastic. Oh okay that resin. Yeah yeah, okay, No,
(08:20):
they weren't trust me, they were not concrete. They couldn't remember. Well,
the little guys.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah yeah, so uh so.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
We have her on and then yeah we're going to
talk about that, and then of course Gary Sealbyn talk
about home improvement and Joe yet no buggy Joe yet
to talk to him a couple of times this week.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Even though there's a carpenter an tip sheet from.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm glad they put that out because we get a
lot of calls about that and it's, you know, to
understand again, it's you'll understand what they're doing and then
you understand what to do about it or if you
even need to do anything about it. But that's a
great tip sheet. That's a that's a good one. So
that's on the website, which is Ron Wilson online dot com,
along them with the Facebook page in the Garden with
Ron Wilson.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And in addition to that, we also have Rita's recipe
of the week. And since it's Marty Graw next up,
then we have the King cake. Yes, and you answered
the question I did? Was that the right answer? She
didn't respond. She did to me, Oh did she great?
Thanks a lot, Ritah, Yeah, that's that's what I thought.
(09:19):
It was the baby of the little baby is and
if you get it, it's good luck. And if what
if you're slicing the cake and you cut it in half,
I don't know, maybe it's King Solomon's baby then and
if you get the if you get the baby, it's
good luck. But I think Rita also added, you have
(09:41):
to make the cake next year?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Why? Oh you have to make because you got the baby?
Got the baby? Oh, I get it. So you got
to make the cake. It's in your hands to do
it next year. And then the colors, all the colors
mean something. It's something else too, Yeah, she says it
in the recipe or something. So so we got that.
That's on there. So if you if you're doing anything,
Mardy Grawl, here's your kincake recipe.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
There you go. And the plants of the week. Since
it's March, yep, it's getting into that season.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yep, spring weeds, yep, the winter annuals, that snow all
went away, and what do you see down there just
waiting to explode. As a matter of fact, now I'm
starting to get pictures, you know, folks sitting and saying,
is this dead from the winter whatever? And in the
landscape beds I see little Harry bittercrest there.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's really sad is that I have all this stuff
in my That's not said, that's a good thing. You
got them all. I got it all. You know, it's
a diversity. Sure, yeah, I got all those dang weeds
in my yard. You go, you can pick them and
eat them on your salad. No, I don't fix so,
but yeah, it's just it's like, gosh, now I gotta
(10:49):
see that's what. They'll be gone in a month and
a half. Oh but you know it's still that's not
the point, like, get out of my.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Front arch still nice and fools, because most of that
in the back yard. What those weeds, those weeds, well,
a lot of them are in the little planting bed
well and okay, yeah, in the landscape bed that's when,
but most of them are in the backyard. Yeah, a
lot of nettle got a ton of nettle. Yeah, and
the little violet clover looking things, the little violets, a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Of hard wouldn't get rid of. Got a lot of those.
And then in all my garden beds, I got the
bitter crass and the chick weed all over the place.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's nutritious. I'm not eating my weeds, okay, just saying now,
I'm not gonna do that. But yeah, six o'clock this evening,
go out and where Reeder lives. You can tell their
house because they're all grazing in the yard.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
If she can come over to my house, and she
actually got there's plenty. She came over to my house
and brings you want, bring your blue cheese and come
on over fork and whatever you want to do. Yeah.
So yeah, it's the the spring weeds, chick weed, the
purple dead nettle, the hen bit, and the hairy bitter. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And there's others too, but those are probably the most popular.
And we also feature wild onion, wild garlic on there too.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I don't know if they're the most popular, but there
the ones you see, the ones you see most so anyway,
then they are all edible. Yeah, and you can see
what they look like and identify the ones that are
in your yard. All right, well that's it for me.
This we's all this week. Yeah, okay, and just give
it one a heads up. I'm not gonna be here

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Good morning, Welcome back, talking yardning at eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. I am Ron Wilson,
your personal yard boy. I am excited as I was
talking with Joe. There it is the first of spring,
March the first. Can you believe that I told you
we'd get there? March the first, that's the kickoff. This
is it. It's no looking there, you know, there's no
looking back at this stage. All right, March is here.
(17:51):
Now we start to look forward, and I'm you know,
I'm looking at the weather forecast. It's all over the board,
and that's what's gonna happen, up and down, up and down,
you know. And technically, horticulturally speaking, we would rather have
it stay cooler longer than warmer earlier. We need the
cooler days. We need the plants to just kind of
(18:13):
sit tight for a while. Let's get closer to mid April,
late April, early May before we cut this thing loose.
So let's just get a gradual warm up. What do
you say? So, you know, and again I'm ready to
go for the spring stuff. But you know, again, horticulturally speaking,
it's best on everybody, especially the plants, and that's what's
(18:35):
most important that we just stay cool and hopefully, I
have too many ups and downs. As a matter of fact,
you know, we come out of the winter sometimes and
we see winter damage on hydrangeas flower buds blasted, or
winter damage on Japanese maples and things like that that
we are saying winter damage when in actuality and it
(18:58):
happened with the ups and downs that we in March
and April, and you know, you get two or three
days of pretty warm temperatures, then all of a sudden,
it drops down into the thirties and twenties, does that
for two or three days and back up again, and
you start to get these buds start to swell, become
very tender. Then the temperatures drop back down again, and
that's where we get some late winter early spring damages
(19:21):
on the new growth, some of the buzzs, and some
of the flower buds as well. I've seen hydranges, especially
the macropylotypes, because those buds will react very quickly to
warmer temperatures, just get blasted because all of a sudden,
you get a cold stamp that comes through really cold
for two or three days, and then all of a sudden,
you know, you don't see much as far as the
(19:41):
flowers again the follies comes out looks good and you say, well,
I didn't have any stem die back, So now why
didn't I get any flowers? That could be one of
the reasons. That also happens to a lot of the
berries and fruit trees. We have to be cautious about
that too, So you know, hopefully, you know, we got it,
just a gradual warm up as we go through the
(20:02):
month of March and into April, and then once we
get you know, let's get into April and then let
it break and let let's go, let's have at it.
But that's what we're looking for horticulturally speaking, and I
know everybody's biting it the bit and chomping and the
whole nine yards to get this thing going.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But again, pull in the reins, keep yourself paced, get
your plans together. Good days, get out and do whatever
you need to do. Cooler days, sit back, do what
you need to do indoors. We'll work our way through.
Speaker 2 (20:29):

Mary in Ohio, we go Pete, good morning, good morning,
how are you, sir.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I've listened to your show for years and I never
this is first time calling because I got a quandary.
I'm good with tomatoes, grapes, and you know, a lot
of orchard fruit. But a friend of mine planted a
wildflower garden several years ago, well maybe three or four
years ago, and he's got a beautiful it's about a
(23:39):
twenty foot wide by about maybe one hundred foot long
or better. Wow area that all he did is plant wildflowers,
everything from thistles, milkweed, and on and on and on,
and it's beautiful. It's actually gorgeous. I mean, you can
imagine the colors, sure, but he's got ow many wild
(24:01):
birds that are showing up and him and his wife
love it. And I was thinking of doing something similar,
maybe not so big, but I don't know how to
start to dag on thing and what type of flowers
I should plant.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
You know, if you plant, and again, there are many
wildflower mixes that are out there for you, and if
you plant, there are some that are they're labeled for birds.
But if you plant the wildflower mixes for the pollinators,
if you plant wildflare mixes for butterflies, for pollinators, for bees,
that also benefits the birds, both with insects and the
seed heads that they'll produce as time goes along. And
(24:36):
in that mix you will find you'll see annuals that
come back from seed every year, and you'll find some
that are perennials that come back from the root system
every year, so you get a combination of the two.
A good friend of ours who put together a it's
probably one of the best researched mixes I've seen in
a long time for a pollinator mix is just Tina
(24:59):
Block and her company is Osmia b O s M
I A b E E dot com osmy B.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Wait a better spell that gear?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
All right, O S M I A.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's it, and it's B E E osmia by dot
com and check that out. And she's got a mix
there that's absolutely probably one of the best mixes I've
ever seen. And you can get started now. You can
also do them in the fall either way. I think
that the thing that can be a little bit discouraging
if you've ever never talked to these folks that do this.
At the very beginning, it's hard to figure out which
(25:35):
of the weeds and which are the things that you
really want to grow there, and so you have to
do a little research on that and try to, you know,
so you try to identify what's coming up, and of
course you can't spray. You've got to go and hand
pick those weeds out until you finally work and you'll
still get a few that'll come up, and it's it's
no big deal once you get a nice, nice stand
going like what they're doing. Also, one last one for you,
(25:57):
I got a great reference book for you that I
guarantee you will help walk you through this, especially for
the birds, and it is called bird Friendly Gardening. It's
been a long time since somebody finally came out with
a book that's all about gardening for the birds. And
if you know, when you as you read it, it's
it's almost a cross of gardening for the pollinators slash
(26:18):
gardening for birds. They get a little bit more into
some of the trees and the evergreens and things like
that that birds would also like, as well as including
some of the fruiting, you know, viburnums and things like
that that the birds would enjoy the berries from. But
it's called bird friendly gardening. The author is Jim McGinnis, yep,
(26:40):
bird Friendly Guarding. It is absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend it.
Great ideas in there. She walks you through how to
establish these the you know, like if you're doing like
what you want to do with the pollinator garden, she
walks you through all that. And it's again just released
probably about a month ago. We had it on the
show about two weeks ago. Absolutely one of the best
(27:02):
books out there for bird friendly gardening. And again when
you go through this, if you compare to pollinator books,
they're very similar, but you know, a little more focused
toward gardening for the Birds Bird Friendly Guardening by Jen McGinnis.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
McGinnis, Ye, well, thank you so much. That's been great
help and I'm gonna give it a shot. My my
fiance loves birds, so.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Hey, you know, I look at we were joking because
I and she said she'd steal this from me. But
I look at when you have birds and anything in
the backyard, like you know, in the wildlife, with things
like birds and humming birds and butterflies and all that,
it's like dinner in a show.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
You know, you're right.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
You put that out there. You get to see all
the great things that are in flower. Like you said,
it's absolutely beautiful, and then you get to see all
the activity going on in there. And to me, that's
worth a million bucks just to sit back and what's
that happen.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
That's what I'd like to accomplish, and I appreciate the information.
I'm going to get the book and give that a shot.
I figured it's going to take me a couple of
years to get this really back where I really wanted.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
You're right, and my last comment is, don't you know
be patient, because it'll take you a couple of years
to start to get it where you want it, so
you know, stick with it, but it'll come together and
the rewards from that will be outstanding.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yeah, Like I said, we visited the house I don't know,
in the middle of the summer last year, and it
was magnificent. And like you said, we're sitting there at
the breakfast nook looking out and I said, oh my gosh,
you've got every color bird there is. I just can't
imagine how you did this. And the place was beautiful,
of course, So yeah, I was curious that how do
(28:42):
I start that? How did I get that to go?
And I didn't realize there were books just for that.
When you mentioned when you mentioned pollinator plants, you're talking
about bringing in the bees and the other.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Bees, butterflies, the rumming birds. Yeah, all of those will
all you know. As a matter of fact, Joe Boggs
that we have on our show on a record basis
used to give a talk called butterfly gardens aren't just
for butterflies anymore, because as you plant these butterfly gardens,
it also benefits the birds and other wildlife and and
the pollinators and the bees, the native bees, the honey bees,
(29:17):
they all the beneficiallyseics all benefit from this, so it
becomes it becomes really, you know, such a just a
beneficial garden for all of the above, not just for butterflies.
So that's why I say we can read. Yeah, when
you read the bird Friendly Garden, you'll see crossover. Like
I said that, you know has combos that you will
also read about in hummingbird books or in pollinator books
(29:40):
or butterfly books or whatever. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Yeah, well, thank you so much. I appreciate the information.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You're welcome, Appreciate the call. Appreciate you listen to our show.
All right, Pete, Pete and Mary in Ohio. That's Buckeye
Chuck Country.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Un't forget what I buck eye Chuck saw a shadow.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I think he was. I think he didn't. Maybe he
did not see his shadow. Maybe I don't remember which
one he was. But anyway, they have a Buckeye Chuck
groundhog there, and they I think they still serve fried
spam sandwiches and hot chocolate.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Mm hmmm. Doesn't that sound good to you? Dan?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Fried spam? No, Dan says no, I don't like fright spam.
All right, we'll take a quick break.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And by the way, now, that book again is Bird
Friendly Gardening by Jen McGinnis. Absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Quick break. We come back full lines. You're open for
you at eight hundred eight two three eight two five
five on this first day of the meteorological spring. Here
in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
When you're planning your new plan that's this spring. Remember
it's all about the roots. Hi, Ron Wilson here, when
you're planting those new plants this spring. Here's what you
need to use. Use Fertilome Roots Stimulator and Plant Starter
Solution for everything you plant trees, shrubs, ornamentals and flowers.
This mild starter fertilizer has an actual rooting hormone to
help stimulate new growth. Now you make three applications ten
(31:22):
to fourteen days apart and get up to thirty three
percent more roots. More roots means summer heartiness, increased drought tolerance,
and less insect and fungal issues. Fertilon Roots Stimulator and
Plant Starter Solution also helps to reduce transplant shock and
promotes greener, more vigorous plants. Get your plants started out
the right way, so you can enjoy its beauty sooner
(31:43):
and longer. Ask for Furtlome Roots Stimulat and Plant Starter
solution at your favorite local independent nursery, garden center, or
hardware store, or find a dealer near you at fertilome
dot com. That's Furtilom Roots Stimulator and Plant Starter Solution
(32:48):
eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. That
is our number.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy. It is
the first day of the meteorological spring. Are you excited?
I am, uh spring and sprung? And what is it like,
the twentieth of March. Then we get the astronaut Uh, yeah,
you know it. You know who's celebrating this morning. He's
probably up already shooting off else saw you know it,
the arbor docs out there somewhere celebrating, shooting off fireworks
(33:15):
and the whole nine yards because it's the first day
of spring, meteorological spring, and that's when all the records
are kept. So I still think we should have switched
over to that. Just keep it that. But nevertheless, by
the way, talking with there about the planting for the birds,
planting for the pollinators, and the bees. Osmabete dot com.
That mix is absolutely wonderful. As a matter of fact,
(33:37):
if you go on that website and look up that
B mix, it's a botanical B mix. I think it's
what's called anyway, you'll see it on there. It gives
you instructions on how to create these gardens this meadowland
meadow type garden using their mix. And you can also
take a look at the mix. The list is there
and look at the plants that are on the mix
(33:58):
and if you are wanting to plant them yourself and
you just want to do individuals or whatever, that gives
you a great reference list as well. But that's a
good one. It's osmiabe dot com os me ab dot
com and learn more about that. American Meadows is a
company that does package seeds and you've probably seen like
they do a lot of promotional package seeds, like you know,
(34:20):
if you have a company and you want to give
away seeds to all your employees or whatever, sunflower seeds,
they'll custom do those for you. But they also do
commercial size packages of seed mixes in that anyway, it's
called American Meadow and I think it's American Meadow dot
com if I'm not mistaken, and they have a lot
(34:42):
of those mixes as well that you can order over online.
And they also have great instructions there on how to
start those meadow like prayer, you know, the flower gardens
that you'd like to create wildflower gardens for both the
pollinators and the birds.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
So it's a.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Great thing to do. Be patient. It does take a
couple years to get that established. But once you can
get it going and you get the hang of it
as such a reward sitting there watching what goes on
out there all right to date, and we go we're
going to talk to Cliff Cliff, good morning.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Uh yeah, I have probably planet in nineteen sixty three
salt mapel out in the back of my yard, and
you may know that soft mapels. After a while, the
roofs start protruding above the ground, and mine has about
(35:42):
three of those protrusion, but they have reached a point
where the more will clip the top of them. And
I called a local gardens and with great urgency he
(36:07):
told me not to touch those without conferring with with
narvous that you know that I could kill that tree
right off hand, And it was pretty urgor about it right.
Uh what what what do you say about that? If
(36:29):
I took I only have about three of them protruding,
and only one of them is uh the more clipping it.
But what would you think about he's taking one at
a time out would that start to damage that?
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Could?
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I mean, let's face the fact that, and whoever you
talk to is right. You know, if we can get
by without removing any of those roots, that's the best,
right because obviously they are there for both structural purposes
holding that tree in place and and you know, obviously
at the end of that feeder roots and things like that.
So you know, we want to leave those as best
(37:14):
we can. But in some situations, and depending on the
type of tree, and of course those silver maples are
pretty tough trees, there are situations where an arbor's could
come in, take a look at it and say, okay,
we're going to remove one of them. And I don't
think it's going to be an issue, but somebody needs
to take a look at the tree, see the overall
(37:35):
health and make it make an on site evaluation.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
So I guess that was my only question is not
touch it until I confer it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yep, And the other your other option, Cliff, is this
you can also if you is to take out the
grass and put mulch around the base of the tree
so that that mulch then covers up those roots and
you don't have to mow right around that tree and
protect the roots at the same time. Obviously, Cliff, hitting
them mower taking that more hitting those roots every time
(38:11):
is not a good thing for that root. It can
cause other problems and opens it up to disease and
other insect issues. So we don't want that to happen.
So options would be removing the grass and mulching the area,
removing the grass and planting ground cover in the area,
like you know, something that would fill in fill in
(38:32):
is a green bed underneath it, rather than do it,
rather than actually removing the root and possibly possibly harming
the tree. But again that's something that's where your certified
arborist comes in handy to look at it and say,
you know, and I guarantee you they're going to tell
you what you know that the taking out the root
is not what they want to do. But I think
(38:53):
we can take one out, or I think we could
take two out without much harm enough, but have them
take a look at. But you do have other options,
and that would be the mulching or groundcover or something
like that, so you don't have to mow where that
that root is up in the air.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
All right, Okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
You're welcome, Cliff, good good luck with that. And it's
that's a great question, and it happens a lot, and
it's not just it's not just the when he says,
salt maple is not like all maples that can do that.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Any actually, any tree can do it, and some are
worse than others. All Right, they have those surface roots.
And you know, over time you get to think about this,
where most of the roots for our trees in our area,
at least with our soils the way that they are,
are within the top eighteen inches typically of the soil,
(39:44):
top eighteen inches. And why is that? I mean, you
think about why is that? You think, you know, we
don't have tap roots. There's nothing down there for the plant.
There's nothing beneficial for that plant down deep, and the
soils packed compacted, and it's tough, and there's no oxygen
and no nutrient and you know all of that. So
those roots all stay in that top eighteen inches and
even closer to the surface of the of the of
(40:07):
the soil, so over time you know where the where
the nutrients. If you're feeding the lawn on a regular basis,
where the moisture it comes all the time, where the
air is all the time is right at the top
of the soil level, right, so their roots wind up,
that flare comes right up to the top, and that's
where they are take taking advantage of where all the
good stuff is, and that's why they're there. Some trees
(40:30):
are worse than others. Some trees you never see it,
some trees you do. Maples are generally are pretty good
about doing that, so you know it does happen.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
So what do you do?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
And a lot of times folks will talk about what
kind of bring in top soil and fill over top
of those and just raise the level up so more
grass seed.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Can you? You could?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
No, never put soil up against the truck of a tree.
Don't ever build up the soil level around the trunk
of the tree. Always keep the roof flair exposed and
as it is naturally. Could you raise the soil level
a little bit? You could. I don't recommend it, but
it could be done. An answer two max, and it's
a one time deal. But guess what happens you do that.
(41:14):
You come in, you put a little top soil in,
you bring the level back up a little bit, you
sew the grass seed, and in about two or three years,
guess what starts to peek up above that top soil
that you just put in there?
Speaker 1 (41:25):
The roots, the surface roots. So your long term answer
typically would be get rid of the grass and just
turn it into a mulched bed. All right, and there's
let it be malted around the base, or do a combo.
You could have amult bed and plant some shade loving
perennials in there, or a groundcover of some type to
(41:46):
fill in around the base of the tree. But tree
actually the root removal or something like that. Have a
certified arbist take a look at that. Give it your
their blessing first before you do that. And you're always
taking a risk anytime you would remove any of those
surface roots. There's always a risk involved. Before we take
a break, Dick and Dayton, good.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
Morning, Good morning everybody. How are you?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
I am doing great? How about yourself?
Speaker 8 (42:12):
Okay? Hey, you remember we used to have a malt
There was a red of black and a brown and
they put it in the Low's coupon book. It was
good malts. You ever heard of the miracle growing Oh.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's their their diemulches.
Speaker 8 (42:31):
Yeah. It was very popular because you could get ten
bags for like during the sale if you had a coupon,
you know, you didn't do it really sold. And there
was another one that sold was topsoil, topsoil.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Oh yeah, I bet.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
And you know what I always remember, I don't think
of with you sometimes you always talked about how many
folks bought the gravel, the bags of gravel, and you
were talking about how when many many years ago loading
all those bags of gravel in the springtime.
Speaker 8 (43:03):
Yeah yeah, they And you know another thing that was
real popular, private defenses.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Oh yeah, and they still are try to screen off
those neighbors. All right, we gotta go, Dick. Always a
pleasure hearing from you.
Speaker 8 (43:16):
Yeah, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Hey you too, Take care. Dick from Dayton. Always a
pleasure hearing from him. And uh, you know, think about
those mulches, and I don't know that specific one. Always
got to be cautious. Right now, there's so many different
types of mulches out there. And sales going on and
all of that. Make sure it's a true bark mulch.
I am not crazy about the ground up palletts. That's
what they usually will do in a lot of the
(43:38):
least expensive ones, grinding up those palates and then diet
change it, you know, red black around whatever you want.
Not crazy about those. I would be cautious about using those.
Trying to get a bark. A multon is a true
bark based mulch. Quick break we come back. Phone lines
