Speaker 1 (00:31):
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I'm Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about yarning
as we are. Actually, I can't believe this is starting
to wind down the month of June. It's officially summer.
I can't believe that either. I'll tell you what you know.
Let's kick off the show as we always do, with
(00:51):
a cup of Joe. But this guy's got to be
I wouldn't say excited, because today and tomorrow in the
mid to upper nineties, Joe Strecker, Well, you like the
hot weather. I like it hot. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This means uh, yeah, it's gonna be hot.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Did you need to put that pool up above ground
POOLA in your backyard? Joe Strucker, executive producer, I know
you do. Uh find out what's going on our website.
Ron Wilson Online dot com Facebook page. In the garden
with Ron Wilson. Good morning, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Hey, you're gone two weeks in Columbus and then you
come back and you give me grief.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What the heck? They give you grief every Saturday. You
give me grief right back. So it goes both ways.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
How was your father's day?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Good? How about you? Mine was? Great, get your grill
put together. I didn't have to put it together. Well
that's why I was already put together, or somebody put
it together. The girls put it together for well they did. Yeah,
oh did you get five pounds of bacon to season?
Not yet? Not yet.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But the thing is, while they were putting the grill together,
I cut the grass.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh well, it was a nice trade off. Well, you
know it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Was it, trust me, it was. It was like the
African grasslands back there. So I had to I had
to get that thing cut the two steps because we
had rain almost every day this week except for Friday.
We have so I had to get that done or
else it would have been really really really bad cutting
in between the showers. So between the showers.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It was real funny watching the girls do it, because
you know, listeners know that my that Bethany is the
engineer and she can put stuff together. And she's as
in all the robots, and Grace.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Is like complete opposite she. She could.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
She looks at instructions and it they like turn Chinese
to her that like father like daughter, No, what which
one are you me? I could put stuff together? I mean,
look all the knockdown furniture.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's in my house. That's all I put all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, so so yeah, I mean I I.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Did all that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But it's just it's it's just so funny the contrast,
you know. It was just like Grace is just like
holding this, you want me to hold this? His beth
that he's putting it together.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It was your wing. I mean to hand you another beer?
What what? So? No, I haven't. I haven't. I haven't
used a new grill yet. That's the way Dad always
puts stuff together.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
What with a beer? Well, I always hey, I always said,
grilling isn't grilling without doing at least two beers. Okay,
it's just before you get started and during Okay, it's like,
uh and and my new grill as a smoker, so
(03:46):
pellet thing, yeah, it's a trigger, that's right. So but
what's what can you use the same pellets? You can,
but it wouldn't it wouldn't add any smell if so
you buy like hickory smoke, yeah, the ones that the
smell in it. Okay, I mean, it's just it's the
same stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's just you know, what if you did that in
your in your fire thing that would be weird all
of a sudden, all this the house smell like holes
smell like hickory or maple or or apples or yeah,
cherry wood. You could, it's the same stuff. It would
be expensive because one of those the pellets for the
pellet stove is a forty pound bag is like five
(04:27):
or six bucks, while a little.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Medium sized, you know, ten ounce bag of the smelling
of the the other wood is like ten bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Right. Yet the gas that burns the pellets, no, it's electric,
So it's electric that burns the pellets. I don't have ones.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, well, the electric and then it warms up the
fire box that has the pellets in it, and everything's
indirect heat, so you can't so you don't have any
flare ups either.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Right, So that's a good thing. See I used to
have a hauling green. Oh that's way Holland grills are built.
I don't know why more grills aren't built. Like the
Holland Girl. They went out of business. I think they
messed up corporate wise. But that thing was perfect. You
couldn't you could not get it, you know, like smoked
baked grilled had a pan that caught everything. Yeah, I
(05:18):
don't know anyway, he's one of the best girls ever.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, I have, I have. I have not cooked anything
on it yet. I'm just still trying to figure out
what's going to be the maiden voyage.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But I did do the.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Where you you purposely just to test it out. Sure,
but you bring it up to like five hundred degrees
to burn off all the you know, the the stuff
on the grates and stuff like that. So I did
do that, okay, but I haven't cooked it cooked the
first time I ever, I remember the first time. You
can do what I did, go oud. I bought two
(05:51):
things of sausages, two broads, two chicken breasts, four hamburger patties,
just did a whole a couple of pork chops, and
I did. I experimented and did them all on there,
nice big platter of all kinds of meat. We'll see,
we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It made some good excuses to have to play with it,
you know, figured out so figure out which is the
best heat play with that. Yeah, there you go, but
that might include more beers than just two.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I was going to say, and then and then I
could take a picture and say this is how long?
This is how long it takes to smoke the brisket
and just have a row of empty.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Does it considered a smoker? It does both. Yeah, but
it is a smoker kind of. So you time it.
Everything's on timing, right, Okay, got it? But you know
how many how long does it take to smoke a brisket?
And just show my picture of how many cans are empty?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Did it come with the lots of obways, kids toys together?
That's a three beer? God, that's a five beer. Now.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
See, I'll put the furniture together, but when it comes
to when it came to the kids toys, now, I
always defaulted to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I'm like, I'm not putting this together because.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All of that stuff was a pain. Well that and
I don't want the is it done yet? Is it
done yet? Is it done yet?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's not leave Please go way. I mean luckily the
girls only had a couple of those things. But no, no,
absolutely not kids toys. No, No, somebody else do that.
That's why I didn't get into that trigger. Did it
come with a trigger?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Ray? Yeah? Did it come with the recipe?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Thing?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like to give you guestimations.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It came Now, it didn't do that. It They suggest you,
of course, you go online to their website where they
have all the recipes and all that stuff. Sure, it
just came up an operating booklet and.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Nothing comes with the recipe books or anything. Go to
my website. Yeah, so that's what it is now. Yeah.
Because the Holland girl see was that way too. You
had to time it. She had to know how long
to leave it on. Well, this is all digital. So
like you said, at the timer and it automatically gets
to that temperature and it stops. Really yeah, and then then.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
It's got a probe where you stick it into the
into the steak or whatever you're doing, and then it
will tell you when it hits the temperature that you
want it. Oh, excuse me, So you don't have to
do that any of that stuff will excuse me again.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So yeah, wow, very cool, very nice, lucky man. I know. Well,
a friend of mine sent me a picture last night.
He got his Father's Day gift late as son was
out of town. His wife and this the sun went
together about him a blackstone. So he's got I know
you do. He's got the big smoker and everything. He's
got all the big stuff. Then he got this blackstone.
(08:41):
So yeah, he was set it out to get five
pounds bacon to season it. Nice So nice girl.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
All right, so we can talk about about that, but
you know, we're running time in this segment. Who do
you got, guest Wise, we have rita today. It's time
for rita. We'll talk about you'll talk about a recipe
in a second. Olivia Carrill and I don't know if
you remember Olivia, but she wrote that book Bees in
Your Backyard about all the native bees, one of the
best books about if. I've recommended that book to so
(09:12):
many families and all for the kids to go out
and use the book to identify the bees you see,
the native bees. She's going to be on with us.
She's done a big workshop thing coming up next Saturday
in Ohio. We're going to talk about that. And of
course Buggy Joe Boggs cool. Mister Selvyn's still on vacation.
He's still enjoining his Father's Day. Good extended Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Good for him. So the website and we always kick
off our show with Joe Strekker, who and of course
it's Daniel Gleeson in between of course, so many guests,
so many stars in the website, Ron Wilson online dot com,
off the Facebook page in the garden with Ron Wilson.
What's the graphic this week? I guess you're gonna have
to go on what I guess I'll have to check
it out. Yep, it gives us the next ra hit.
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There's a couple articles from the Beagle this week, so
check those out from Buggy Joe and and Pals.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The Rita's recipe this week is jam jam. She's jamming,
I'll be jamming. We be jamming jam. She's got a
recipe for strawberry and mixed berry jam, sorry, mixed berry
jam because it's BlackBerry and raspberry mixberry jam time of
(10:23):
the year. So Rita is jamming and I'm still going
to be jamming. And uh, I wonder how Rita's ribs
recipe would work on the smoker because if you look,
if you read a recipe, you have to do it inside. Why, well,
I according to a recipe, you have to do it
(10:44):
in the oven and then finish it off on the girl.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, yours is a combo. Yeah, so you're the best
of both worlds. I would guess that it's going to
be just fine.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I think Rita needs to redo the recipe for well,
involve different types of well, here's the deal cooking.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Here's what you should do. Invite Reda over. Yeah, have
her do it for me and have it. Yeah, do
it like you know, I'll have that flank stick that
start cooking at eleven, finish up about seven in the evening.
I'll do that flank stick that she does. Yeah, do
about five different things flank steak, do some sausages, do
some burgers? Do the ribs? Okay, you know, and write
everything down, take note, and then the experiment taste it,
(11:26):
go to the next one. Experiment taste, go to the
next one. I like your thinking. Yeah, i'd have read
to do that. And I would invite the garden ferry.
But he never shows up. No, he's never around. It's
not worth inviting over. Who.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, the plan of the week is high biscus, and
there's biscuits. What kind of hype regular there's the annual hibiscus, Yeah,
and the perennial high biscuits.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'll be darn.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So those are the plants of the week this week. Okay,
the rows of Sharon is one of them.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And there's pictures of all the different types and all
the regular high biscuits. Excellent, My high biscus still on
the side of my art. Yes, I planted that still there,
then it got moved. You planted the original one, so
I say, then I went to somebody's house, and then
it got moved to somebody's house. And there's like a
pink one there now, so nice. Who planted that?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Not me?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay? And I could have known that. That's why I
asked you played me and not you. How's a banana looking?
What your banana tree? How's your banana tree about? It's
lots of pups. It's plenty of pups. Good, that's a
good science.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I haven't I haven't measured my banana in a while,
so I have to go out there.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You mean to go measure it to see because it
all it's going to explode now hot weather. Yeah, it's
like you. It loves the hot weather. That stuff's good.
Banana's going to go nuts, so well, I have to
check it out, please. Yeah, it was an update.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I did not I honestly I did not check my
banana trey this year. You need to not this year.
This week, I was gonna say, you've been giving us updates.
I'm we won an official I'm slacker, slacker, Come on, slacker.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Welcome back. You're garden with Ron Wilson talking your yarding
at eight hundred eight two three eight two five five.
It is hot, hot, hot, as Joe and I were saying.
Course today the official full day of the astrological summer.
That meteorological summer started June the first, but the first
official Now we're officially into the summer season. And you know,
(18:07):
if you've listened to our show over the years, I've
always said, and I'm very honest, it's this time of
the year that it's probably one of the worst times
of the year when it comes to plants and issues
and trying to figure out what's going on. And you know,
we talk about managing by walking around. Over the next
week or so, it's going to be a great time
(18:28):
for you to manage by walking around, especially if you
have the hose in your hand and you're watering, because
in our area and from what I can see on
the weather, it's going to be pretty much all around us,
all the states around us and all it's going to
be hot. We're going to go from where we've been,
you know, seventies and mid eighties, now we're going to
jump into the nineties and high humidity. And it starts today.
(18:53):
And we got, you know, a lot of plants out there.
We've had some cooler temperatures, We've had great rainfall, timely
rainfall all through the spring season again in most areas
around us, and lawns look great. Plants have put out
a ton of leaves, new growth, the whole nine yards.
And now all of a sudden, you get hit with
these ninety degree temperatures, sunny days. Now, what so these
(19:17):
plants and I'm talking to established plants, I'm talking established lawns.
I'm talking newly planted trees and shrubs, vegetables and annuals.
They are all going to go through this period now
of adjusting to these warmer temperatures. So you know, obviously
watering becomes a major issue. And depending on the weather
and how much sun is out and all that, plants
(19:39):
are going to be drying out, probably a little faster
than they have been all spring. As a matter of fact,
you know, I've always said, don't count on the rain
as the way of watering your newly planted trees and shrubs.
Counting on it as a bonus, but always check the
root balls to make sure you've got good moisture in
that ground. Well, a lot of folks have counted kind
of on the rain and gotten by with it. So far.
(20:02):
Ain't gonna work now. Uh So, unless you get an
all day soaking rain, at least a half a day
all day soaking rain, any showers that come through are
strictly bonuses at this stage. One at your rainfall every
seven to ten days. That's what your established plants are
looking for for grow pretty much optimum growing conditions. And
if mother nature doesn't supply that along with this heat,
(20:24):
that's going it's coming along. You got to help it out.
We'll talk more about that after the break. Lots of
tips to share with you or taking your calls at

our website, It's Ron Wilson online dot com Facebook page.
In the Garden with Ron Wilson and our plan of
the week this week. By the way, it's high biscus.
I'll talk about that in a in a second. Uh,
there are so many great high biscus. And you may
(23:20):
be saying, and I hope you are what kind of
high biscus. If you are, you get a double thumbs
up today because that is one of the questions. But
as we transition from where we have been through the
spring season now into the summer, and boy, it's you
talk about you know, timing wise right when we make
the official now into the astrological summer h it turns
(23:43):
hotter than heck, and we've had a fairly decent spring
timely rainfalls. This is the time of the year where
plants have to make an adjustment. So as we watch
our plants out there now as we start to adjust,
keep them, don't overwater first of all, soak them well,
close to dry, soak them well. That process stays the same,
(24:03):
but you may be watering a little bit more frequently
depending on how hot it is, how much sun comes out,
when type of soil you have, and all of that.
And that's why you've got the physically check using that
moisture meter or just touching the root ball of the
plant and checking before you water. Hanging baskets. This week,
I guar on Tea he'll be water those probably every
(24:24):
every day. And you know, when it comes to hanging baskets,
when it comes to container plants, when it comes to
window boxes and urns and things like that that are
in full sun and they just dry out, and think
about it, they're above ground, they're getting baked on all
sides around them. You got, you know, more plants typically
in those planters than you would normally plant in an
(24:47):
area of that size, lots of roots, a lot of competition,
They're going to dry out quicker. It's just the way.
That's the way containers are in many cases, you plant
them up yourself. You might not overplant them, but that's
the way it is sometimes. And so you're gonna stick
with it with the watering and if if you can't,
you know, you just spoil. You're like every day on
watering these things. Don't forget about the product called soil
(25:12):
moist Remember those small polymers. When you add those to
potting soil when you water, it actually retains moisture. They
swell up, they retain moisture. Then as a soil dries out,
they re release that back into the soil. And what's
another benefit of that is that when there's a lot
of roots in there and it's getting pretty tight, when
those do swell up, it actually creates space and it
(25:34):
keeps the soil moving so it doesn't get all compact.
So you know, he's got a couple of benefits there
for you, including helping to cut down on your watering.
So you and if you say, well I've already planted
my containers, I've already planted my hanging baskets, window boxes.
How do I put this stuff in? You can't sprinkle
it on the top. It does you no good. You've
got to have it down in the soil. And you
(25:54):
want it down, you know, three or four inches down
into the soil or deeper where the roots are. You
don't want it up to the top. So what you
can do is take a wooden dow or something that's
like a quarter of an inch in diameter or so,
and just poke channels holes down through those containers, and
then get your soil moist and take some crystals and
(26:15):
just sprinkle a few. And I said just sprinkle a few,
and say half the can sprinkle a few of the
crystals in each of those holes, all right, And you
created these soil moist channels. And so it'll still do
the same thing for you by doing that, and it
will help you out, there's no doubt about it. But
it's called soil moist. Garden centers, local independent garden centers
(26:38):
typically all have it, and it really does help to
cut back when you're potting up in the springtime. You
can add that to it. You can also add core
COI R Core is the byproduct of a coconut husts
that they grind up looks like spagnum pete. It's really
interesting stuff. It can be silke and wet. You bind
it in a compressed biale like these little bricks and whatever.
(27:01):
You put it in a five gallon bucket of water
and it swells up and fills up the bucket. You
pick that stuff up and water is like dripping out
of it. But when you hold up in the air,
it'll blow off your hand. It's really really interesting. But
it's a great something to add to your potting mix.
I have grown in it straight, but I wouldn't recommend it.
I would mix it with potting mix. But it helps
to retain moisture. So that's something you can help to
(27:23):
add to your soil as well, and and really does
help you out cut down in the watering. So keep
those in mind. But again, you're gonna you're gonna be
up in your watering because of the heat that we're
gonna be experiencing here that we haven't experienced in the past.
So keep up with it, please, and remember with container plants,
as you are watering more often and running water through
(27:45):
those containers, and you're gonna you're gonna water until you know,
you just gotta make sure you thoroughly soak everything. When
you first put the hose in there, sometimes the water
will start to come out the bottom right away. I've
had folks say, well, I've read where you water until
it comes out the bottom. Well, if it's dry, it's
going to come out the bottom instantly until the moisture
gets absorbed into the soil. Then it kind of swells
(28:08):
up and then it doesn't come out quite as quickly.
That's what you're trying to do, So soak them really well.
And of course doing your watering first thing in the
morning or late in the afternoon early evening would be
the best two times to be doing that. But again,
stick with it because it's going to be it's going
to increase. But while you're doing all this watering, you're
also leaching some of those nutrients out of the potting
(28:30):
soil and into the at the bottom of the pot.
So make sure that you know every now and then,
once every ten days or so, you're coming back with
a water soluble fertilizer or something that you can add
to the soil to help, you know, bring those nutrients
back into those pots. Because you can leach a lot
of that stuff out of there, and the plants are
kind of without anything to eat to grow on that,
(28:53):
you know, for nutrients in the soil, so obviously they
create their own food, but for nutrients in the soil
that they they need to create that food. So you're
gonna maybe have to up that a little bit more
than you normally would because of the excessive watering. So
keep that in mind as well. Tree bags. If you're
one for using tree bags around newly planted trees, that's fine.
(29:16):
I'm not a big tree bag fan, but because I
think sometimes you put them around the trees and we
think you fill that thing up and you're good to
go for whatever, and really, you know the tree bag
the way it works, there's two reasons that they've developed
tree bags. One was for trees that were way away
from wherever you're supposed to water, so you could take
a tank out there fill these bags up. It takes
(29:38):
you about two minutes to fill up the bag, so
it cuts down your watering time. And then it just
slowly drips the water on the immediate root ball around
the base of the tree, and it does it, and
it should do that within several hours. If it sits
there for two or three days, it still has water
in the bag. Something's wrong with your irrigation bag. And
(29:58):
I like to zip two of them on there. They're
usually like a fifteen to twenty gallon. Put two of
them around there, so you've got a really good soaking
when you do it. But you still have to do
it on a regular basis like you would had you
been using a sprinkler or whatever it may be to
water that tree. And so many times we forget that.
We think that's just going to last forever because I've
(30:18):
been using the tree bag, and that's not necessarily true.
So it needs to it needs to empty out in
the same data you fill it up, and then that
shows you they're working properly. And to make sure you're
checking again so that it doesn't stay too dry too long,
go back and fill that up. But they were developed
for cutting down your watering time and putting that water
(30:40):
right down on the immediate root ball. Right If you're
using soaker hoses right now, and you know, I'm not
a huge socer hose fan. If you are, you're going
to have to increase your time of having that faucet
open and soaking it. You've got a monitor and make
sure you keep it on long enough to give you
a good four to six inch deep soaking, especially with
newly planted trees and shrubs. You got to wrap that
(31:03):
around the base of that plant, make sure that's going
right down into the root ball. If you just put
one piece of that soker hose across, like you've got
a hedge planting, and you just run a straight line
across with it going across the top of the root balls,
ain't gonna cut it. It's not gonna work, I'm telling
you right now. Plus you've got to keep it on
for a long period of time to make sure it
(31:24):
gets down into the soil. So again, our watering practices
are gonna become very important. And even with all of that,
doing it properly, you probably will still see some yellowing
of leaves to the inside of the plant and they'll
probably shed a few leaves. You watch over the next week,
Birch River birch will start to shed leaves because of
(31:44):
the heat and the drier soils, assuming we don't get
you know, massive rainfalls or you're not watering, and that's
the adjustment they're making because they put out all these
leaves in the springtime. Now they can't support them, so
they lose leaves from the inside of the tree. If
they're dropping from the end side, you're usually in pretty
good you know. It's that's what that is. That's the
indicator what's going on. So anyway, Manny's by walking around
(32:06):
this week, it's going to be a transitional week as
we go from fairly nice spring season with timely rainfalls.
It wasn't drying out too fast because of the temperatures
to sunny, hot wind blowing drying out in a hurry.
Stick with it. Plants are counting on. You. Don't forget
if mother nature doesn't do it, you need to and
(32:28):
don't be a water tease. When you're gonna water water,
soak them really well, soak them, let them dry, soak them,
let them dry. Best way to water. Eight hundred eight

in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's hitting
the garden and he's Ron Wilson.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Hi. Everyone, I've been raving about wet and forget outdoor
cleaner for years and for good reason. It takes the
hassle out of cleaning moss, mold, and mildew. No bleaching,
no scrubbing, no rinsing, Just spray and you're done. It's
perfect for roof stacks, sidewalks, even patio umbrellas. Available in
hose en sprayer with a thirty foot reach a concentrate
(33:29):
and are ready to use option. Find Wet and Forget
it Low's, Walmart, Minards, or visit Wedinforget dot com and
now in stores the new Wet and Forget window and
screen cleaner.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
Mosquitoes can transmit deadly diseases, including wesnow virus, but some
mosquito dunks kill mosquitos before they're old enough to bite.
Just float an organic mosquito dunk and ponds bird bass
rain barrels in any standing water to kill mosquito larvae
for thirty days or longer. Don't worry, mosquito dunks won't
harm people, pets, fish, birds, or wildlife. Mosquito dunks are
(34:03):
available at garden centers, hardware stores.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And online.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Good morning, welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron
Wilson again. That total free number eight high one hundred
eight two three eight two five five talking about yarding
as we move from a wonderful spring season to an
extremely kickoff of an extremely hot week, UH for the
first week of summer, the mastrological week of summer. Yeah,
(35:16):
gonna be hot. So get out there and you know,
just keep watching. Things are gonna happen. Plants are probably
gonna adjust a little bit it happens. Don't overreact. I
think that's my big point here is don't overreact. Stick
with them, stick with your regular process of how you
determine if it needs to be watered or not. And
when you do water it, don't be a water teas.
(35:36):
You know, I've always said it, don't be a water teas.
If you're gonna do it, do it all right. And
by the way, we're watering both existing trees and newly
planted trees, UH and evergreens as well. There's another product
out there, and we talked about this last year, and
there's not a lot of marketing behind this particular product,
(35:57):
so not a lot of folks know about it, but
it's called tree huggers, and tree huggers are it's hard
to explain, but they are a sprinkler that attaches to
your hose, and of course you can set it up
with multiple sprinklers on one hose. But it's a sprinkler,
and what it does is it's round, and it's plastic
like PVC pipe, and it has holes in the top.
(36:19):
So when you hook it up, it comes out like
wheen of those stationary sprinklers. Water comes up and turns back,
arches back over, and goes back into the ground. But
what's cool about this thing is that it is hinged
so that you open it up like a sea, you
know it, open it up like a sea, like a
shape of a sea, put it around the trunk of
the tree, and then close it back so that you've
(36:41):
got this perfect circle around the tree. And then you
can adjust the water. So you adjust it to just
barely come up and back down again for newly planted trees,
so it just waters the immediate root ball. If you're
using it around more established trees, and they've got different sizes.
I think the smallest is about seven inches in diameter
and the big ones like eighteen inches or so in diameter,
(37:03):
so you can do some pretty good sized trees. Then
you turn it up higher and it goes out further
to the root system, you know, the feeder roots go
out and the top surface roots go out and waters
out away from the tree. They're pretty cool and they're
called tree huggers. And again, a lot of garden centers
not handling them. They just not a lot of marketing.
But it's a great idea. I got a couple myself.
(37:24):
I love them. I think they're outstanding. But they're called
tree Huggers, and you can learn more about them at
their website. I think it's dot com, but it's tree Huggers,
And then I think it's dot com and I think
you can order on there as well. We had the
gentleman on it to develop those a couple of years
ago out in Texas, and he was sitting on his
back porch. I'll never forget that nicest guy in the
(37:47):
world sitting on his back porch. He said, it's already
one hundred and three here and wherever he was in Texas,
and the sun didn't even come up yet. But yeah,
and then then it's really cool. But again, that's another
good way of watering newly playing trees or existing trees
with that tree hugger. Those little stationary sprinklers that you
attached to the hose that come in little patterns, you know,
(38:08):
a square, rectangle whatever. Ron Rothus he's always talked about.
He enjoys those. You can just sometimes you have to
pin them down because they're small and they kind of
move a little bit. But that's a great way to
water also because just up and back down again, right
into the ground. One last one, Ross root feeder. Remember
Ross root feeders. Why those aren't available today like they
(38:31):
used to be. I have no idea, but I did
find out somebody let me know that if you go online,
they're still out there, you can still find them. But
I always thought Ross root feeders was an excellent way
to water larger balden burlabed trees that have just been planted,
because you can stick it right into the root ball,
but larger trees and evergreens. It was designed as a
(38:53):
root feeder for water soluble fertilizer. You attach this probe
to your water hose, had as a capsule at the
cup at the top, take the lid off, put a
fertilizer pellet in, screw the lid on, stick it down
on the ground. As the water goes through it feeds
and waters the plant at the same time. Well, we
wound up using them more as a watering tool versus
(39:15):
you know, fertilizing all the time, so it became a
good great It's a great watering tool, I think, and
it kind of cracks the soil where the water jets
out of it. I like it. You can still find
it on the internet, and I think there are tools
like that that you can buy, like through am Leonard,
that you can put in the ground as well in
Tasa hose, but they're a lot more expensive. But I think,
(39:37):
you know I did. I went online and found that
ross root feeders are available for you to use as well.
But again, the bottom line is would be the watering
very very very important, so please keep that in mind.
Also want to remind you staking. I have visited two
or three homes this week. The question was one as
we planted a tree last year, how long do I
leave the steak on the tree? Newly plant a tree
(40:00):
and you rarely, you know, you try to get by
without staking the tree, but if you have to, you
leave them on maybe up to a year, and then
you take them off. But you always want to feel
the tree. See how if it seems like it's rooted
in pretty solid before you take that off. If it isn't,
there may be other issues. Or you take that off
and you get a storm it blows over, which we
(40:20):
have experienced with a couple of people. But what we
found out for the trees that fell over, guess what,
I went out with my soil knife. You all should
have a no soil knife. If you don't have one.
Dug down the side of these two trees it fell
over that had mistaked for a year, and they had
been planted where the root flare we talked about, Show
me the flare at the top of the soil. The
(40:42):
root flares are four to six inches below the ground.
So these newly planted trees hadn't done anything because they
were so deep into the ground. They just weren't rooting out.
They just sat there still. The tree looked pretty good
on the top, but we're starting to see some stress
cracks on the trunk itself. So this is a situation
where you know it's not the best time in the
(41:03):
world to do time to do this of the season,
but pull them out, replant them with a higher and
the restake it. The problem was and I understand where
this can get confusing. Both of these trees were grafted trees,
so they're, you know, whatever the tree is on the top.
One was a purple plum and it's grafted on another
plum's rootstock, all right, And sometimes when they do that,
(41:26):
you'll have the rootstock of what they're going to graft
it on to plus a bit of the trunk and
it can be two inches four in just six inches high.
Then the graft is on top of that. Well, if
you're planting roses which are like that and they're grafted,
you plant to the bottom of the graft or nestle
that graph right into the soil surface. And I think
(41:46):
it gets confusing sometimes because it's like that graft isn't
a part of the tree. That's part of it goes
under the ground. So you plant it to the graft,
Well you don't. You still plant it with the root flare.
And that's where it was confusing. How deep the plant
these two trees. So remember, as we've always talked and
we'll continue to talk about, as you're planting trees, show
(42:07):
me the root flare. If it's in a container, make
sure you shave off and knock off the soil at
the top, tour at the root flare. If it's balden
burr lap, you're obviously taking a burlap off the top
and you're shaving that soil off till we get to
the root flare. Then you plant the plant with that
root flare at or slightly above soil level. Very very important.
(42:29):
And we saw that this week, and it happens still
and it's going to continue to happen. But nevertheless, try
to keep preaching a word of planting. Show me the
root flare before you do the final planting of any
of those trees that are out there. Very very important,
So please please keep that in mind as well. The
other one was when it comes to staking. We had
(42:50):
a pretty good sized storm come through here. Oh it's
either Wednesday night or Thursday night, but any Wednesday, anythink
it was. But and it had straight line winds. I mean,
it did some damages here and all, but you know what,
snapped a lot of them. We got a lot of
emails the next day. Tree hydranges and treenges right now
just starting to show all that color, added extra weight
(43:12):
on the top. You've got to keep those tree hydranges
staked for three, four five years until that route where
that trunk is big enough in diameter to support all
of the weights you get on the top of that thing.
With the flowers especially very very heavy, you get a
little bit of wind, boom, they snap right off. I've
(43:35):
got a tip sheet on tree hydranges, how to prune
them and how long you need to keep them staked.
If you've got a tree hydrangea a tree lilac, you
know where it's been grafted the dwarf lilacs. They do
that with hibiscus occasionally, those patio small patio trees, you
gotta keep them staked for a longer period of time
to make sure the trunk's big enough to support the top.
I'll send you the tip sheet. Email me Ron Wilson
(43:56):
at iHeartMedia dot com. Coming up next rita hike and
fell Here in the Garden with Ron Wilson. How is
your garden growing?
Speaker 5 (44:11):
Call Ron now at one eight hundred eighty two three.
Talk you're listening to In the Garden with Ron Wilson
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I'm Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about yarning
as we are. Actually, I can't believe this is starting
to wind down the month of June. It's officially summer.
I can't believe that either. I'll tell you what you know.
Let's kick off the show as we always do, with
(00:51):
a cup of Joe. But this guy's got to be
I wouldn't say excited, because today and tomorrow in the
mid to upper nineties, Joe Strecker, Well, you like the
hot weather. I like it hot. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This means uh, yeah, it's gonna be hot.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Did you need to put that pool up above ground
POOLA in your backyard? Joe Strucker, executive producer, I know
you do. Uh find out what's going on our website.
Ron Wilson Online dot com Facebook page. In the garden
with Ron Wilson. Good morning, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Hey, you're gone two weeks in Columbus and then you
come back and you give me grief.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What the heck? They give you grief every Saturday. You
give me grief right back. So it goes both ways.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
How was your father's day?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Good? How about you? Mine was? Great, get your grill
put together. I didn't have to put it together. Well
that's why I was already put together, or somebody put
it together. The girls put it together for well they did. Yeah,
oh did you get five pounds of bacon to season?
Not yet? Not yet.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But the thing is, while they were putting the grill together,
I cut the grass.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh well, it was a nice trade off. Well, you
know it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Was it, trust me, it was. It was like the
African grasslands back there. So I had to I had
to get that thing cut the two steps because we
had rain almost every day this week except for Friday.
We have so I had to get that done or
else it would have been really really really bad cutting
in between the showers. So between the showers.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It was real funny watching the girls do it, because
you know, listeners know that my that Bethany is the
engineer and she can put stuff together. And she's as
in all the robots, and Grace.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Is like complete opposite she. She could.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
She looks at instructions and it they like turn Chinese
to her that like father like daughter, No, what which
one are you me? I could put stuff together? I mean,
look all the knockdown furniture.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's in my house. That's all I put all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, so so yeah, I mean I I.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Did all that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But it's just it's it's just so funny the contrast,
you know. It was just like Grace is just like
holding this, you want me to hold this? His beth
that he's putting it together.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It was your wing. I mean to hand you another beer?
What what? So? No, I haven't. I haven't. I haven't
used a new grill yet. That's the way Dad always
puts stuff together.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
What with a beer? Well, I always hey, I always said,
grilling isn't grilling without doing at least two beers. Okay,
it's just before you get started and during Okay, it's like,
uh and and my new grill as a smoker, so
(03:46):
pellet thing, yeah, it's a trigger, that's right. So but
what's what can you use the same pellets? You can,
but it wouldn't it wouldn't add any smell if so
you buy like hickory smoke, yeah, the ones that the
smell in it. Okay, I mean, it's just it's the
same stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's just you know, what if you did that in
your in your fire thing that would be weird all
of a sudden, all this the house smell like holes
smell like hickory or maple or or apples or yeah,
cherry wood. You could, it's the same stuff. It would
be expensive because one of those the pellets for the
pellet stove is a forty pound bag is like five
(04:27):
or six bucks, while a little.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Medium sized, you know, ten ounce bag of the smelling
of the the other wood is like ten bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Right. Yet the gas that burns the pellets, no, it's electric,
So it's electric that burns the pellets. I don't have ones.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, well, the electric and then it warms up the
fire box that has the pellets in it, and everything's
indirect heat, so you can't so you don't have any
flare ups either.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Right, So that's a good thing. See I used to
have a hauling green. Oh that's way Holland grills are built.
I don't know why more grills aren't built. Like the
Holland Girl. They went out of business. I think they
messed up corporate wise. But that thing was perfect. You
couldn't you could not get it, you know, like smoked
baked grilled had a pan that caught everything. Yeah, I
(05:18):
don't know anyway, he's one of the best girls ever.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, I have, I have. I have not cooked anything
on it yet. I'm just still trying to figure out
what's going to be the maiden voyage.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But I did do the.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Where you you purposely just to test it out. Sure,
but you bring it up to like five hundred degrees
to burn off all the you know, the the stuff
on the grates and stuff like that. So I did
do that, okay, but I haven't cooked it cooked the
first time I ever, I remember the first time. You
can do what I did, go oud. I bought two
(05:51):
things of sausages, two broads, two chicken breasts, four hamburger patties,
just did a whole a couple of pork chops, and
I did. I experimented and did them all on there,
nice big platter of all kinds of meat. We'll see,
we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It made some good excuses to have to play with it,
you know, figured out so figure out which is the
best heat play with that. Yeah, there you go, but
that might include more beers than just two.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I was going to say, and then and then I
could take a picture and say this is how long?
This is how long it takes to smoke the brisket
and just have a row of empty.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Does it considered a smoker? It does both. Yeah, but
it is a smoker kind of. So you time it.
Everything's on timing, right, Okay, got it? But you know
how many how long does it take to smoke a brisket?
And just show my picture of how many cans are empty?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Did it come with the lots of obways, kids toys together?
That's a three beer? God, that's a five beer. Now.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
See, I'll put the furniture together, but when it comes
to when it came to the kids toys, now, I
always defaulted to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I'm like, I'm not putting this together because.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All of that stuff was a pain. Well that and
I don't want the is it done yet? Is it
done yet? Is it done yet?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's not leave Please go way. I mean luckily the
girls only had a couple of those things. But no, no,
absolutely not kids toys. No, No, somebody else do that.
That's why I didn't get into that trigger. Did it
come with a trigger?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Ray? Yeah? Did it come with the recipe?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Thing?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like to give you guestimations.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It came Now, it didn't do that. It They suggest you,
of course, you go online to their website where they
have all the recipes and all that stuff. Sure, it
just came up an operating booklet and.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Nothing comes with the recipe books or anything. Go to
my website. Yeah, so that's what it is now. Yeah.
Because the Holland girl see was that way too. You
had to time it. She had to know how long
to leave it on. Well, this is all digital. So
like you said, at the timer and it automatically gets
to that temperature and it stops. Really yeah, and then then.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
It's got a probe where you stick it into the
into the steak or whatever you're doing, and then it
will tell you when it hits the temperature that you
want it. Oh, excuse me, So you don't have to
do that any of that stuff will excuse me again.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So yeah, wow, very cool, very nice, lucky man. I know. Well,
a friend of mine sent me a picture last night.
He got his Father's Day gift late as son was
out of town. His wife and this the sun went
together about him a blackstone. So he's got I know
you do. He's got the big smoker and everything. He's
got all the big stuff. Then he got this blackstone.
(08:41):
So yeah, he was set it out to get five
pounds bacon to season it. Nice So nice girl.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
All right, so we can talk about about that, but
you know, we're running time in this segment. Who do
you got, guest Wise, we have rita today. It's time
for rita. We'll talk about you'll talk about a recipe
in a second. Olivia Carrill and I don't know if
you remember Olivia, but she wrote that book Bees in
Your Backyard about all the native bees, one of the
best books about if. I've recommended that book to so
(09:12):
many families and all for the kids to go out
and use the book to identify the bees you see,
the native bees. She's going to be on with us.
She's done a big workshop thing coming up next Saturday
in Ohio. We're going to talk about that. And of
course Buggy Joe Boggs cool. Mister Selvyn's still on vacation.
He's still enjoining his Father's Day. Good extended Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Good for him. So the website and we always kick
off our show with Joe Strekker, who and of course
it's Daniel Gleeson in between of course, so many guests,
so many stars in the website, Ron Wilson online dot com,
off the Facebook page in the garden with Ron Wilson.
What's the graphic this week? I guess you're gonna have
to go on what I guess I'll have to check
it out. Yep, it gives us the next ra hit.
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There's a couple articles from the Beagle this week, so
check those out from Buggy Joe and and Pals.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The Rita's recipe this week is jam jam. She's jamming,
I'll be jamming. We be jamming jam. She's got a
recipe for strawberry and mixed berry jam, sorry, mixed berry
jam because it's BlackBerry and raspberry mixberry jam time of
(10:23):
the year. So Rita is jamming and I'm still going
to be jamming. And uh, I wonder how Rita's ribs
recipe would work on the smoker because if you look,
if you read a recipe, you have to do it inside. Why, well,
I according to a recipe, you have to do it
(10:44):
in the oven and then finish it off on the girl.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, yours is a combo. Yeah, so you're the best
of both worlds. I would guess that it's going to
be just fine.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I think Rita needs to redo the recipe for well,
involve different types of well, here's the deal cooking.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Here's what you should do. Invite Reda over. Yeah, have
her do it for me and have it. Yeah, do
it like you know, I'll have that flank stick that
start cooking at eleven, finish up about seven in the evening.
I'll do that flank stick that she does. Yeah, do
about five different things flank steak, do some sausages, do
some burgers? Do the ribs? Okay, you know, and write
everything down, take note, and then the experiment taste it,
(11:26):
go to the next one. Experiment taste, go to the
next one. I like your thinking. Yeah, i'd have read
to do that. And I would invite the garden ferry.
But he never shows up. No, he's never around. It's
not worth inviting over. Who.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, the plan of the week is high biscus, and
there's biscuits. What kind of hype regular there's the annual hibiscus, Yeah,
and the perennial high biscuits.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'll be darn.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So those are the plants of the week this week. Okay,
the rows of Sharon is one of them.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And there's pictures of all the different types and all
the regular high biscuits. Excellent, My high biscus still on
the side of my art. Yes, I planted that still there,
then it got moved. You planted the original one, so
I say, then I went to somebody's house, and then
it got moved to somebody's house. And there's like a
pink one there now, so nice. Who planted that?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Not me?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay? And I could have known that. That's why I
asked you played me and not you. How's a banana looking?
What your banana tree? How's your banana tree about? It's
lots of pups. It's plenty of pups. Good, that's a
good science.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I haven't I haven't measured my banana in a while,
so I have to go out there.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You mean to go measure it to see because it
all it's going to explode now hot weather. Yeah, it's
like you. It loves the hot weather. That stuff's good.
Banana's going to go nuts, so well, I have to
check it out, please. Yeah, it was an update.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I did not I honestly I did not check my
banana trey this year. You need to not this year.
This week, I was gonna say, you've been giving us updates.
I'm we won an official I'm slacker, slacker, Come on, slacker.
So well, speaking of you, speaking about slacking, it's time
for me to go.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Welcome back. You're garden with Ron Wilson talking your yarding
at eight hundred eight two three eight two five five.
It is hot, hot, hot, as Joe and I were saying.
Course today the official full day of the astrological summer.
That meteorological summer started June the first, but the first
official Now we're officially into the summer season. And you know,
(18:07):
if you've listened to our show over the years, I've
always said, and I'm very honest, it's this time of
the year that it's probably one of the worst times
of the year when it comes to plants and issues
and trying to figure out what's going on. And you know,
we talk about managing by walking around. Over the next
week or so, it's going to be a great time
(18:28):
for you to manage by walking around, especially if you
have the hose in your hand and you're watering, because
in our area and from what I can see on
the weather, it's going to be pretty much all around us,
all the states around us and all it's going to
be hot. We're going to go from where we've been,
you know, seventies and mid eighties, now we're going to
jump into the nineties and high humidity. And it starts today.
(18:53):
And we got, you know, a lot of plants out there.
We've had some cooler temperatures, We've had great rainfall, timely
rainfall all through the spring season again in most areas
around us, and lawns look great. Plants have put out
a ton of leaves, new growth, the whole nine yards.
And now all of a sudden, you get hit with
these ninety degree temperatures, sunny days. Now, what so these
(19:17):
plants and I'm talking to established plants, I'm talking established lawns.
I'm talking newly planted trees and shrubs, vegetables and annuals.
They are all going to go through this period now
of adjusting to these warmer temperatures. So you know, obviously
watering becomes a major issue. And depending on the weather
and how much sun is out and all that, plants
(19:39):
are going to be drying out, probably a little faster
than they have been all spring. As a matter of fact,
you know, I've always said, don't count on the rain
as the way of watering your newly planted trees and shrubs.
Counting on it as a bonus, but always check the
root balls to make sure you've got good moisture in
that ground. Well, a lot of folks have counted kind
of on the rain and gotten by with it. So far.
(20:02):
Ain't gonna work now. Uh So, unless you get an
all day soaking rain, at least a half a day
all day soaking rain, any showers that come through are
strictly bonuses at this stage. One at your rainfall every
seven to ten days. That's what your established plants are
looking for for grow pretty much optimum growing conditions. And
if mother nature doesn't supply that along with this heat,
(20:24):
that's going it's coming along. You got to help it out.
We'll talk more about that after the break. Lots of
tips to share with you or taking your calls at

That toll free number would be eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five talking about yarding. Don't forget
our website, It's Ron Wilson online dot com Facebook page.
In the Garden with Ron Wilson and our plan of
the week this week. By the way, it's high biscus.
I'll talk about that in a in a second. Uh,
there are so many great high biscus. And you may
(23:20):
be saying, and I hope you are what kind of
high biscus. If you are, you get a double thumbs
up today because that is one of the questions. But
as we transition from where we have been through the
spring season now into the summer, and boy, it's you
talk about you know, timing wise right when we make
the official now into the astrological summer h it turns
(23:43):
hotter than heck, and we've had a fairly decent spring
timely rainfalls. This is the time of the year where
plants have to make an adjustment. So as we watch
our plants out there now as we start to adjust,
keep them, don't overwater first of all, soak them well,
close to dry, soak them well. That process stays the same,
(24:03):
but you may be watering a little bit more frequently
depending on how hot it is, how much sun comes out,
when type of soil you have, and all of that.
And that's why you've got the physically check using that
moisture meter or just touching the root ball of the
plant and checking before you water. Hanging baskets. This week,
I guar on Tea he'll be water those probably every
(24:24):
every day. And you know, when it comes to hanging baskets,
when it comes to container plants, when it comes to
window boxes and urns and things like that that are
in full sun and they just dry out, and think
about it, they're above ground, they're getting baked on all
sides around them. You got, you know, more plants typically
in those planters than you would normally plant in an
(24:47):
area of that size, lots of roots, a lot of competition,
They're going to dry out quicker. It's just the way.
That's the way containers are in many cases, you plant
them up yourself. You might not overplant them, but that's
the way it is sometimes. And so you're gonna stick
with it with the watering and if if you can't,
you know, you just spoil. You're like every day on
watering these things. Don't forget about the product called soil
(25:12):
moist Remember those small polymers. When you add those to
potting soil when you water, it actually retains moisture. They
swell up, they retain moisture. Then as a soil dries out,
they re release that back into the soil. And what's
another benefit of that is that when there's a lot
of roots in there and it's getting pretty tight, when
those do swell up, it actually creates space and it
(25:34):
keeps the soil moving so it doesn't get all compact.
So you know, he's got a couple of benefits there
for you, including helping to cut down on your watering.
So you and if you say, well I've already planted
my containers, I've already planted my hanging baskets, window boxes.
How do I put this stuff in? You can't sprinkle
it on the top. It does you no good. You've
got to have it down in the soil. And you
(25:54):
want it down, you know, three or four inches down
into the soil or deeper where the roots are. You
don't want it up to the top. So what you
can do is take a wooden dow or something that's
like a quarter of an inch in diameter or so,
and just poke channels holes down through those containers, and
then get your soil moist and take some crystals and
(26:15):
just sprinkle a few. And I said just sprinkle a few,
and say half the can sprinkle a few of the
crystals in each of those holes, all right, And you
created these soil moist channels. And so it'll still do
the same thing for you by doing that, and it
will help you out, there's no doubt about it. But
it's called soil moist. Garden centers, local independent garden centers
(26:38):
typically all have it, and it really does help to
cut back when you're potting up in the springtime. You
can add that to it. You can also add core
COI R Core is the byproduct of a coconut husts
that they grind up looks like spagnum pete. It's really
interesting stuff. It can be silke and wet. You bind
it in a compressed biale like these little bricks and whatever.
(27:01):
You put it in a five gallon bucket of water
and it swells up and fills up the bucket. You
pick that stuff up and water is like dripping out
of it. But when you hold up in the air,
it'll blow off your hand. It's really really interesting. But
it's a great something to add to your potting mix.
I have grown in it straight, but I wouldn't recommend it.
I would mix it with potting mix. But it helps
to retain moisture. So that's something you can help to
(27:23):
add to your soil as well, and and really does
help you out cut down in the watering. So keep
those in mind. But again, you're gonna you're gonna be
up in your watering because of the heat that we're
gonna be experiencing here that we haven't experienced in the past.
So keep up with it, please, and remember with container plants,
as you are watering more often and running water through
(27:45):
those containers, and you're gonna you're gonna water until you know,
you just gotta make sure you thoroughly soak everything. When
you first put the hose in there, sometimes the water
will start to come out the bottom right away. I've
had folks say, well, I've read where you water until
it comes out the bottom. Well, if it's dry, it's
going to come out the bottom instantly until the moisture
gets absorbed into the soil. Then it kind of swells
(28:08):
up and then it doesn't come out quite as quickly.
That's what you're trying to do, So soak them really well.
And of course doing your watering first thing in the
morning or late in the afternoon early evening would be
the best two times to be doing that. But again,
stick with it because it's going to be it's going
to increase. But while you're doing all this watering, you're
also leaching some of those nutrients out of the potting
(28:30):
soil and into the at the bottom of the pot.
So make sure that you know every now and then,
once every ten days or so, you're coming back with
a water soluble fertilizer or something that you can add
to the soil to help, you know, bring those nutrients
back into those pots. Because you can leach a lot
of that stuff out of there, and the plants are
kind of without anything to eat to grow on that,
(28:53):
you know, for nutrients in the soil, so obviously they
create their own food, but for nutrients in the soil
that they they need to create that food. So you're
gonna maybe have to up that a little bit more
than you normally would because of the excessive watering. So
keep that in mind as well. Tree bags. If you're
one for using tree bags around newly planted trees, that's fine.
(29:16):
I'm not a big tree bag fan, but because I
think sometimes you put them around the trees and we
think you fill that thing up and you're good to
go for whatever, and really, you know the tree bag
the way it works, there's two reasons that they've developed
tree bags. One was for trees that were way away
from wherever you're supposed to water, so you could take
a tank out there fill these bags up. It takes
(29:38):
you about two minutes to fill up the bag, so
it cuts down your watering time. And then it just
slowly drips the water on the immediate root ball around
the base of the tree, and it does it, and
it should do that within several hours. If it sits
there for two or three days, it still has water
in the bag. Something's wrong with your irrigation bag. And
(29:58):
I like to zip two of them on there. They're
usually like a fifteen to twenty gallon. Put two of
them around there, so you've got a really good soaking
when you do it. But you still have to do
it on a regular basis like you would had you
been using a sprinkler or whatever it may be to
water that tree. And so many times we forget that.
We think that's just going to last forever because I've
(30:18):
been using the tree bag, and that's not necessarily true.
So it needs to it needs to empty out in
the same data you fill it up, and then that
shows you they're working properly. And to make sure you're
checking again so that it doesn't stay too dry too long,
go back and fill that up. But they were developed
for cutting down your watering time and putting that water
(30:40):
right down on the immediate root ball. Right If you're
using soaker hoses right now, and you know, I'm not
a huge socer hose fan. If you are, you're going
to have to increase your time of having that faucet
open and soaking it. You've got a monitor and make
sure you keep it on long enough to give you
a good four to six inch deep soaking, especially with
newly planted trees and shrubs. You got to wrap that
(31:03):
around the base of that plant, make sure that's going
right down into the root ball. If you just put
one piece of that soker hose across, like you've got
a hedge planting, and you just run a straight line
across with it going across the top of the root balls,
ain't gonna cut it. It's not gonna work, I'm telling
you right now. Plus you've got to keep it on
for a long period of time to make sure it
(31:24):
gets down into the soil. So again, our watering practices
are gonna become very important. And even with all of that,
doing it properly, you probably will still see some yellowing
of leaves to the inside of the plant and they'll
probably shed a few leaves. You watch over the next week,
Birch River birch will start to shed leaves because of
(31:44):
the heat and the drier soils, assuming we don't get
you know, massive rainfalls or you're not watering, and that's
the adjustment they're making because they put out all these
leaves in the springtime. Now they can't support them, so
they lose leaves from the inside of the tree. If
they're dropping from the end side, you're usually in pretty
good you know. It's that's what that is. That's the
indicator what's going on. So anyway, Manny's by walking around
(32:06):
this week, it's going to be a transitional week as
we go from fairly nice spring season with timely rainfalls.
It wasn't drying out too fast because of the temperatures
to sunny, hot wind blowing drying out in a hurry.
Stick with it. Plants are counting on. You. Don't forget
if mother nature doesn't do it, you need to and
(32:28):
don't be a water tease. When you're gonna water water,
soak them really well, soak them, let them dry, soak them,
let them dry. Best way to water. Eight hundred eight

Mosquitoes can transmit deadly diseases, including wesnow virus, but some
mosquito dunks kill mosquitos before they're old enough to bite.
Just float an organic mosquito dunk and ponds bird bass
rain barrels in any standing water to kill mosquito larvae
for thirty days or longer. Don't worry, mosquito dunks won't
harm people, pets, fish, birds, or wildlife. Mosquito dunks are
(34:03):
available at garden centers, hardware stores.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Good morning, welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron
Wilson again. That total free number eight high one hundred
eight two three eight two five five talking about yarding
as we move from a wonderful spring season to an
extremely kickoff of an extremely hot week, UH for the
first week of summer, the mastrological week of summer. Yeah,
(35:16):
gonna be hot. So get out there and you know,
just keep watching. Things are gonna happen. Plants are probably
gonna adjust a little bit it happens. Don't overreact. I
think that's my big point here is don't overreact. Stick
with them, stick with your regular process of how you
determine if it needs to be watered or not. And
when you do water it, don't be a water teas.
(35:36):
You know, I've always said it, don't be a water teas.
If you're gonna do it, do it all right. And
by the way, we're watering both existing trees and newly
planted trees, UH and evergreens as well. There's another product
out there, and we talked about this last year, and
there's not a lot of marketing behind this particular product,
(35:57):
so not a lot of folks know about it, but
it's called tree huggers, and tree huggers are it's hard
to explain, but they are a sprinkler that attaches to
your hose, and of course you can set it up
with multiple sprinklers on one hose. But it's a sprinkler,
and what it does is it's round, and it's plastic
like PVC pipe, and it has holes in the top.
(36:19):
So when you hook it up, it comes out like
wheen of those stationary sprinklers. Water comes up and turns back,
arches back over, and goes back into the ground. But
what's cool about this thing is that it is hinged
so that you open it up like a sea, you
know it, open it up like a sea, like a
shape of a sea, put it around the trunk of
the tree, and then close it back so that you've
(36:41):
got this perfect circle around the tree. And then you
can adjust the water. So you adjust it to just
barely come up and back down again for newly planted trees,
so it just waters the immediate root ball. If you're
using it around more established trees, and they've got different sizes.
I think the smallest is about seven inches in diameter
and the big ones like eighteen inches or so in diameter,
(37:03):
so you can do some pretty good sized trees. Then
you turn it up higher and it goes out further
to the root system, you know, the feeder roots go
out and the top surface roots go out and waters
out away from the tree. They're pretty cool and they're
called tree huggers. And again, a lot of garden centers
not handling them. They just not a lot of marketing.
But it's a great idea. I got a couple myself.
(37:24):
I love them. I think they're outstanding. But they're called
tree Huggers, and you can learn more about them at
their website. I think it's dot com, but it's tree Huggers,
And then I think it's dot com and I think
you can order on there as well. We had the
gentleman on it to develop those a couple of years
ago out in Texas, and he was sitting on his
back porch. I'll never forget that nicest guy in the
(37:47):
world sitting on his back porch. He said, it's already
one hundred and three here and wherever he was in Texas,
and the sun didn't even come up yet. But yeah,
and then then it's really cool. But again, that's another
good way of watering newly playing trees or existing trees
with that tree hugger. Those little stationary sprinklers that you
attached to the hose that come in little patterns, you know,
(38:08):
a square, rectangle whatever. Ron Rothus he's always talked about.
He enjoys those. You can just sometimes you have to
pin them down because they're small and they kind of
move a little bit. But that's a great way to
water also because just up and back down again, right
into the ground. One last one, Ross root feeder. Remember
Ross root feeders. Why those aren't available today like they
(38:31):
used to be. I have no idea, but I did
find out somebody let me know that if you go online,
they're still out there, you can still find them. But
I always thought Ross root feeders was an excellent way
to water larger balden burlabed trees that have just been planted,
because you can stick it right into the root ball,
but larger trees and evergreens. It was designed as a
(38:53):
root feeder for water soluble fertilizer. You attach this probe
to your water hose, had as a capsule at the
cup at the top, take the lid off, put a
fertilizer pellet in, screw the lid on, stick it down
on the ground. As the water goes through it feeds
and waters the plant at the same time. Well, we
wound up using them more as a watering tool versus
(39:15):
you know, fertilizing all the time, so it became a
good great It's a great watering tool, I think, and
it kind of cracks the soil where the water jets
out of it. I like it. You can still find
it on the internet, and I think there are tools
like that that you can buy, like through am Leonard,
that you can put in the ground as well in
Tasa hose, but they're a lot more expensive. But I think,
(39:37):
you know I did. I went online and found that
ross root feeders are available for you to use as well.
But again, the bottom line is would be the watering
very very very important, so please keep that in mind.
Also want to remind you staking. I have visited two
or three homes this week. The question was one as
we planted a tree last year, how long do I
leave the steak on the tree? Newly plant a tree
(40:00):
and you rarely, you know, you try to get by
without staking the tree, but if you have to, you
leave them on maybe up to a year, and then
you take them off. But you always want to feel
the tree. See how if it seems like it's rooted
in pretty solid before you take that off. If it isn't,
there may be other issues. Or you take that off
and you get a storm it blows over, which we
(40:20):
have experienced with a couple of people. But what we
found out for the trees that fell over, guess what,
I went out with my soil knife. You all should
have a no soil knife. If you don't have one.
Dug down the side of these two trees it fell
over that had mistaked for a year, and they had
been planted where the root flare we talked about, Show
me the flare at the top of the soil. The
(40:42):
root flares are four to six inches below the ground.
So these newly planted trees hadn't done anything because they
were so deep into the ground. They just weren't rooting out.
They just sat there still. The tree looked pretty good
on the top, but we're starting to see some stress
cracks on the trunk itself. So this is a situation
where you know it's not the best time in the
(41:03):
world to do time to do this of the season,
but pull them out, replant them with a higher and
the restake it. The problem was and I understand where
this can get confusing. Both of these trees were grafted trees,
so they're, you know, whatever the tree is on the top.
One was a purple plum and it's grafted on another
plum's rootstock, all right, And sometimes when they do that,
(41:26):
you'll have the rootstock of what they're going to graft
it on to plus a bit of the trunk and
it can be two inches four in just six inches high.
Then the graft is on top of that. Well, if
you're planting roses which are like that and they're grafted,
you plant to the bottom of the graft or nestle
that graph right into the soil surface. And I think
(41:46):
it gets confusing sometimes because it's like that graft isn't
a part of the tree. That's part of it goes
under the ground. So you plant it to the graft,
Well you don't. You still plant it with the root flare.
And that's where it was confusing. How deep the plant
these two trees. So remember, as we've always talked and
we'll continue to talk about, as you're planting trees, show
(42:07):
me the root flare. If it's in a container, make
sure you shave off and knock off the soil at
the top, tour at the root flare. If it's balden
burr lap, you're obviously taking a burlap off the top
and you're shaving that soil off till we get to
the root flare. Then you plant the plant with that
root flare at or slightly above soil level. Very very important.
(42:29):
And we saw that this week, and it happens still
and it's going to continue to happen. But nevertheless, try
to keep preaching a word of planting. Show me the
root flare before you do the final planting of any
of those trees that are out there. Very very important,
So please please keep that in mind as well. The
other one was when it comes to staking. We had
(42:50):
a pretty good sized storm come through here. Oh it's
either Wednesday night or Thursday night, but any Wednesday, anythink
it was. But and it had straight line winds. I mean,
it did some damages here and all, but you know what,
snapped a lot of them. We got a lot of
emails the next day. Tree hydranges and treenges right now
just starting to show all that color, added extra weight
(43:12):
on the top. You've got to keep those tree hydranges
staked for three, four five years until that route where
that trunk is big enough in diameter to support all
of the weights you get on the top of that thing.
With the flowers especially very very heavy, you get a
little bit of wind, boom, they snap right off. I've
(43:35):
got a tip sheet on tree hydranges, how to prune
them and how long you need to keep them staked.
If you've got a tree hydrangea a tree lilac, you
know where it's been grafted the dwarf lilacs. They do
that with hibiscus occasionally, those patio small patio trees, you
gotta keep them staked for a longer period of time
to make sure the trunk's big enough to support the top.
I'll send you the tip sheet. Email me Ron Wilson
