took out the wood border, so it's getting ready for it,
be ready for rocks. And there the wood border all
out front. Yeah, you're ready for rocks. I see. Going
the rock route. I told you I was. I just
(01:19):
said go on the rock route. They didn't have a
question mark on it. Go on the rock route, doing
the rock route, rock route and a garden art put
down landscape fabric down below that. Uh sure, no, you
won't know just probably just but rocks on top. Yeah, okay,
So that's the only time I ever recommend besides the
(01:41):
pathway or vegetable garden. Okay, that's good. Then they don't
sink down into the soil.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
The stays on top.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Maybe the maybe the garden fairy can come over and
help me. Not I didn't think. So Okay, something got beer? Yeah,
you can get some. Can you do in the afternoon?
I'm in for yourself, not for me? Well, whatever can
you do in the afternoons? Depends during the week depends. Okay, No,
(02:10):
I don't have those either. We'll have to talk to
Solivan about that. The old man.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yes, I might be able to help you in an afternoon.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes, okay, well, well we'll we'll see. Okay. Now, before
we get started, you seem anxious. Well, there's something that
bugs me, and I think we you know what I'm
going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Okay. So I started seeing the annual kissing bugs story
on all the TV stations. Oh yes, now, and they
make it sound like this is an epidemic of kissing bugs.
It's gonna be like locusts in the Bible. You're if
you if you get bit by one of these things,
(02:53):
you're gonna die. Right if when your dog gets bit
by one of these things. It's kids die, it's it's ridiculous. Yes,
it happens every single year, and they and they make
it seem like it's something that that that's just oh
it's this is a freakish thing. It's like, no, it's
been going on for I mean, how many one years
we've been talking about the kissing bugs? Ten years, fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It's not an issue.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's yeah, it's not.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And who always comes to the rescue, Buggy Joe, Buggy
Joe cutting everybody off, says time out exactly, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
And it's just in the the you know, the news,
they'll interview somebody that has absolutely no idea what they're
talking about. Oh yeah, this is really really bad. You
better It's like, no, it's not. No, it's not. So
if you're on Facebook or TikTok or whatever you watch,
We're watching the news or whatever, and you see these
stories about kissing bugs, it's all bull crap.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And there you have it there. But don't you think,
like you know that they're looking and saying, you know,
people didn't see this on TV on our show last year,
so we can do it now. Maybe the anchors weren't
there last year. Maybe the producers weren't part of the
thing last year, so they're not from.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Given the news turnover, that wouldn't surprise me. But still
you would think that that does happen. And there is
a kissing bug, and it can cause problems, but not here,
and and the problems it causes exactly are not the
problems that they're saying. You know, it's not going to
kill you if you get kissed by a kissing bug. Right,
(04:33):
it's not going to kill your dog if your dog
eats a kissing bug.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
There we have it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I mean, all they're doing is trying to find this.
Wake Joe up right now? Yeah, better, he better talked
about kissing This'll call him right now and wake him up.
What's the number, Daniel, get him on the phone.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I wonder if he even can talk this early in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I doubt it. He doesn't have his mother coffee yet.
But well, it really got you fired up? Yeah, well,
because I saw it, and it's just it's it just
bugs me. It really does bug me. That in the
in the almanac, so so the Old Farmer's Almanac, the
one that's Ben Franklin says it's going to be cold,
(05:18):
and snowy in our area. Right, But then the Farmer's
Almanac says, no, it's going to be on season, be
worn who you go to be Well, it's almost like
they do that on purpose, so that at least one
of them is right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
So some mads me right at the end of the season. Yeah,
I'm gonna go off the Farmer's Almanac, but I'll take
the call. You know, you know where I'm going. Oh,
but you know, that's just that's another thing that bugs me.
To and ladies and gentlemen. That is your cup of
Joe Joe Strekers. His email address would be.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
My email address is doctor Z at Premiere at XM
radio dot com. You go Washington, d C, Washington, d C.
His phone numbers in guard two two kidd. But yeah,
it just that just bothers me. I get it every year,
every single year. Yep. And I'm sure it will be emails.
(06:12):
Oh well they're really really bad, but no they're not. Sorry,
quit listening to the propaganda.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Their ego laser Joe Strecker.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Now, now I don't think breath Now, I don't think
they're going to score seventy today. But I'm going to
guess at least forty two, I said forty one. Okay,
Well we'll see. So the over I.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Think I said it's the over seventeen. You think that
you think Ohio is going to score seven and six? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I think they're going to I think they're going to
score at least one touchdown.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
What are they going to have the fifth string? Are
they going to start bringing people in from the stands?
Their defense is incredible, I know, look pretty good last week?
Pretty good, pretty good.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm saying. I'm saying that they will Yeah, yeah, Ohio
will score. Okay, but it's gonna be low. I'm going sixteen.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You think it's gonna be forty one to sixteen seven? Well,
thirteen State is favored by thirty, right, so that's why
I'm gonna think it's gonna be forty two to take
the spread forty two to three. Three, I'll get three. Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's a running back this time or running quarterback this time,
so we'll see throw a little something at him.

is she's getting ready for October Fest?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yes she is.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And she has a chicken schnitzel and spetsla reig is
your mom. May now, now some people call it spatsl
but you but it's but German people call it spetsle.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yes, remember you try to teach me that last year.
Yeah and get it and yeah, well, yeah, Mom made it,
and I've made it the chicken. Yeah, I've made chicken
schnitzel with uh, and I made spetsula. But I'm going
to tell you this, the best schnitzel and spetsula I
(10:14):
ever had was when my aunt came over from Germany.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
God rest her soul. She passed away, gosh ten years now,
but she made it from scratch, and it was the
best schnitzel and spetsla I've ever had. And there's nothing
that can top it. I mean it was so tender,
it was fork tender, didn't even need a knife to
cut it. And now Rita when she makes her spets last,
(10:42):
she rolls the dough out and cuts it little pieces
and everything. What my aunt did was she got a
huge calendar and the dough was was still runny, and
she put the dough in the calendar and when it
dripped out, she pud cold waters. Yeah, she put cold
water underneath. And that's how she made her noodles. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And what was the beer your uncle when he came
over here from Germany? What was the beer he went for?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh? He likes Paul Honor, he likes Weiss beer. Ok. Yeah,
I'm not a I don't like Weis beer. I'm more
of a lagger.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
But he was looking at some of the German beers
we had. He's like, no, you don't now, you don't
drink that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah. Well he's like well yeah, He's like, well, he
said he he really doesn't like Warsteiner. And over there,
over here, people drink Warsteiner lacked like it's really exotic.
It's like in Germany, Warsteiners like bud light. Okay, he
just laughs at it. But he's a big pol Honor.
He's a big Polna. I couldn't remember, but but he
likes the wheat beer, and I don't like the wheat beer.
(11:46):
I'm not a big beer for I just don't like
the taste of it. I love the sours, yeah, and
and the uh and you know, the the rat the
ratter beers. Now I'm starting to get into the ones
that have the juice. Like when we have the Octoberfest,
people come in, they head they bring the grapefruit beer
(12:06):
in and you know, the raspberry beer, and those are ratters,
and I know I'm kind of getting into those. Look
at you. So my palates as I get older, they're
always changes. It's ever changing. Yeah, but anyway, Rita is her.
(12:28):
Her recipe is for a chicken stenzel and spetsula or
spasil or whatever want to say it. It's just little noodles.
And there's also a picture of Rito when she went
to Munich to.

just want to say real quick that, you know, after
all the things that have happened this week, and not
just this week, but it just gets it just seems
(18:19):
like it's getting worse and worse all the time out there,
I just want to throw out to everybody that you know,
if I have a suggestion for you. You know, gardening
can be a really good way to relieve the stress.
Gardening can be a really good way to get out
there and forget about other things that are going on
and enjoy mother nature and enjoy things that you can
(18:40):
do visiting garden centers. You don't have to buy anything.
Just go visit a garden centers. Like walking through a garden,
walking through the park, Go to the park, walk through
the park, go to the woods, go to the woods
and do a little shinrin yoku, shen yourn yoku. I've
talked about this for years. Forest bathing, It's been around
for thousands of years. To go and just sit in
(19:02):
the woods and and enjoy mother nature, all the different
depths and colors and and wildlife and the in the
atmosphere and the whole nine yards. To relax your brain,
to relax your soul, all right, kind of just get
rid of all of this crap that's going on out
there right now, release it out and just chill out.
(19:23):
But I sincerely for a little bit. And my last
thing was I was going to say, I sincerely suggest
that you leave the cell phone in the car when
you do that, all right, I get it, keep it
around for protection. She can call somebody. I understand that.
But let's just let's just drop those for a while.
Except for that, Yeah, except for that, and let's enjoy
(19:45):
mother nature. Let's get outside. Take your shoes off right now,
walk through the grass. When's the last time you did that?
Just walk through the grass.

Do it, Danny, You'll love it, but I'm serious. Get
out there. Let mother nature help. Maybe heals some of
these wounds, maybe help you feel better as well. That's
why I love guarding so much. Eight hundred eight two

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Talking to Yarding at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five, Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy, and I've got during this segment, I've
got three alerts for you, alarms or alerts that I
need you to pay attention to. Okay, I think is
very important one, and then I and everything we talk
about on here is important right one. If you are
(22:25):
planting trees and we're gonna talk about this later with
Ron rothis at our next our next hour. But if
you are planting trees as fall and you should be
all right, you know, and we talk about all the
proper procedures and making sure you get the malting around
that tree at least four to six feet in diameter,
and get it the right tree to bright place, and
get it planted properly and watered in properly, and got
(22:47):
yourself a schedule or water that as needed to the
rest of the fall season. That's great, but I don't
want you to walk away from that tree. Don't take
your hand off of that tree until you put a
tree trunk protector on the tree to protect it from
a buck deer coming in and rubbing its antlers on
(23:10):
your tree. For some reason, they love newly planted trees.
They love the smaller trees four inch diameters smaller. They'll
take on larger trees, but they love those. And I
have had folks that have planted, you know, God in
the garden center on Saturday, buy two or three nice
trees two inch diameter, take them home, spend the afternoon
getting them planted, malted and watered in. Get up in
(23:31):
the morning with a cup of coffee only to look
at their trees and they've all been rubbed and the
bark rubbed off the trees from a buck deer. So
do not walk away from your tree. I'm serious. Don't
walk away from your tree until you put a tree
trunk protector. If you've got deer within fifty miles of
(23:52):
your house, who doesn't, make sure you put a tree
trunk protector on that and keep it on that from
now through about the first of April, and then you
can take it off, and then we'll come back and
put it back on sometime mid August, latter part of August.
Then go from there. We've seen buck rubbing already. Used
to be September, now as early as mid August. All right,
(24:15):
that's warning number one. Protect your investment in your trees
by putting a tree trunk protector. Have existing trees in
your yard, I would still be doing small ones. I'd
still be doing it to those as well, because they'll
rub on those two. They may not come through your
yard for a couple of years and all of a
sudden come through and boom done deal. And after that
happens if they rub more bark off than a halfway
(24:38):
around the trunk of that tree. It's pretty low chances
that your tree is gonna survive. Now, I've seen some
trees take a pretty good hit and continue on. But
it's a time, we'll tell And all you can do
then is just sit back and wait and see what's
gonna happen. And so many times you can stunt the tree,
you know, get some other issues. So don't let it happen,
all right, don't let it happen to your trees. Jack
(25:00):
to tree trunks this fault starting right now. With tree
trunk protectors. Put it from the ground up to the
bottom branch, all right, ground to the bottom branch at
the ground. That tree trunk protector also protects the tree
trunk from getting chewed on by rabbits, voles and field mice,
because they'll do that over the winter time as well.
(25:21):
Keep your mulch away from the tree trunk about six
inches or so. Make it look like a doughnut. Make
sure that ring is four to six feet at least
in diameter, with mulch and no grass up against the tree,
and water as needed through the rest of the fall season.
That's warning number one or alert number one. Alert number two.
Last week, we posted on our website ron Wilson online
(25:41):
dot com that yellowjackets are active, and that's the name
of the of the posting yellowjackets are active and right
now yellowjackets become more noticeable for a couple reasons. One
is they are now looking to make nests and a
lot of them do it in the ground and they'll
use like vacated burrows from a mole or vole or
(26:06):
something that's kind of dug down in or a hole
down in the ground that they can get into, and
they love to do it where there's a little bit
of foliage there to kind of hide them some kind
of groundcover or whatever, and then they'll put that hole
right down in the side. They'll do that. And there's
several types of yellow jackets, by the way, and the
German yellow jacket. They like to get more in cracks
(26:27):
and crevices and walls that and they'll even go in
the crack around your heat vent or something going into
the foundation of the home. If they can't get into
that where it's not coked or the properly around that,
they'll build their nest inside your basement or wherever that
comes in. Right at that point, they like doing it.
Gary Sullivan, our home improvement expert, it's on every Saturday
(26:48):
morning funny thing. Two or three years ago, his wife
noticed a couple wasp or yellowjackets flying around the house
funny with downstairs and yelled for Gary and Gary, is
this supposed to be here? And it was a nest
of German yellow jackets, which you had to get rid of.
So you've got to be very cautious. But they are
very active right now. They're building these nests. Now they
still die out over the wintertime, but they build these
(27:11):
nests build up the population. So while they're doing that,
they're also they're eating habits changed from meat. They're a
caterpillar eater. They love meat and things, and you'll see
them on dead things on the road as well, eating
that kind of meat. But they do a nice job
in your garden taking care of most of the caterpillars
if they can. But now they go to the sugars.
(27:32):
And that's why. Now when you're sitting outside at your
favorite restaurant or whatever, and you're trying to have a
margeritae or a coke or whatever it may be, you
got yellowjackets all over because they're after the sugar. Now,
they're going for the pro that the sugar, the high
energy sugar to finish out the rest of the season.
So you're gonna see them very active. As a matter
of fact, I'm sitting here right now itching my left
(27:53):
hand in the area between my index finger and my
thumb were slightly swollen. Yesterday, my neighbor was out doing
something in the front yard and realized that there was
a horn or a yellow jacket nest in front of
their window well. And there's a low ground cover of
uanamus six inches high growing in front of this window well.
(28:17):
And they had created a small hole right through that uana,
it says, perfect cover, and down a small depression down
the front of that window well. And there were a
ton of them. So somebody tried to drown it out
with water, and they're still They're still very there and
very active. So I went and got a can of
the foaming yellow jacket and hornet spray. Now, I don't know,
(28:39):
I'm gonna do a little investigating here, and I'm not
going to say the brand name. But when I got
there and started to spray, all right, it didn't foam.
It looked like I was spraying white paint, and I
just I kept hitting the hole and I kept waiting
for the foam because the old foamers would foam up
like a six to eight inch ball around the top
of that hole, and they couldn't fly out out of
(29:02):
the ground, which was great, and by the time they
crawled through that they were toast. They couldn't get up
in the air whole nine yards. Well, this didn't do that,
and surprisingly enough I got stung on the hand by one,
but I got away, No big deal, and today I'm
itching like crazy, was itching all night last night. Not
that big of a deal, all right, But it does happen,
(29:22):
and it could be a serious situation. So if you
are not comfortable doing that type of thing, call in
the exterminators and let them take care of it for you.
But again, go and look at this the bulletin that's
from last week on our website, and it says yellowjackets
are active. The hole that you see there that he's
got an example of in that groundcover is exactly what
(29:44):
it looked like at my neighbor's house in front of
their window. Well, and so last night I went with it.
I went and got another foaming one from another manufacturer.
It didn't foam up like the old foams used to
as well. So now I'm going to investigating here. I'm
gonna buy whole bunch of them and find out which
one is the best foamer, because it's the foam that
(30:06):
knocks them down and don't it doesn't let them come
after you. I was count on that, but it didn't
do the job. But they were not very active at
eight o'clock last night, and so I think we knocked
quite a few of them out, and maybe I got
enough in there to kill out the nest. I don't know,
but it's a very such serious situation. So as you
are working in your foundation plantings, groundcovers and things, cleaning
(30:29):
out and doing whatever you're doing getting into the fall season,
I always turn the rake around and take the stick
and you know, the hand them kind of poke around
a little bit, just to make sure there's no activity
with the wasps, hornets or yellow jackets in those shrubs
before I start sticking my hands in there. Spiders the
same way. Some of those funnel spiders can be pretty
big and pretty scary last but not least all right.
(30:52):
It is dry. We in Ohio. For the most part.
We're going to talk to Ron Rothus about this in
our next are in a moderate slightly to moderate drought situation,
not as bad, I don't think as it was last year.
At this time. It is dry falls a great time
for planting. I urge you to continue to keep planting,
(31:14):
keep your watering going. It's important to water right now,
especially the evergreens, but it is really dry. And again,
as you're planting new trees and shrubs and evergreens, make
sure you stick with them, soaking that root ball, surrounding
soil around it on a regular basis. Hopefully we'll get
some rainfalls coming through here. Get moisture back in the ground.
(31:35):
If you're trying to do lawn renovation, moisture is the key.
So you're gonna have to do some irrigation or sprinkling
or whatever to keep moisture in the ground. If you're
looking to do lawn renovation, which a lot of us
did not get to do last year because it stayed
dry so long into the season we were kind of
waiting it out. So you're gonna have to do that.
And I can't stress enough evergreens, watering evergreens during the
(31:57):
dry times of the year is key to the success.
Success of those evergreens and all the plants, but evergreens
especially and especially going into the fall and going into
the winter season. If they go into the winter under
a drought stress, not a good thing. Planting new evergreens
right now, and you don't water on a regular basis,
or you skip a couple of waterings, not a good thing.
(32:20):
Right So those are my three alerts for you today.
One is deer protection for your trees, younger trees around
those trunks. Number two, yellowjackets are definitely very active right
now building their nests at all, and they're looking for sugars.
So watch your drinks, what's your food as you're eating,
watch as you're gardening. They are building nests in the ground,
(32:42):
things like that, so be careful with that as well.
If you do use the foam sprays, test it first.
Before I didn't. I just took it off as stoopid
me and just started spraying and it didn't foam anyway,
Check that out as well, so make sure you're cautious
about that. And number three, your plants are thirsty, join
them for a drink. Eight hundred eight two three eight

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five. I'm talking about yarding all kinds of things
going on out there right now. If you've got magnolias,
not so much the southern or the sweet bays, but
all the other varieties, check them out for magnolia scale.
Those crawlers are active right now, and this is the
(35:15):
time to go after them. Should you have magnolia scale,
and you would use like insecticidal soap or horticultural oil
to spray on there about once every seven to ten days,
two or three times to try to kill the crawlers.
That's one of the best ways to start to suppress those.
You can also use a soil drench systemic. It's too
(35:37):
late to do that now, but you could do that
in the springtime after they're finished flowering, or anytime in
the summertime to get that up inside the plant. That
helps as well. And then that horticultural oil, which does
a great job and it's all natural for controlling those crawlers.
Can also be used as a dormant spray late fall,
(35:59):
you know, when a temperature get more consistently down into
the forty forty five degrees, leaves are gone, the plant's
pretty much gone dormant. You can use it at that time.
You can also use it in late winter early spring
as a dormant spray to go after some of the
ones that are still attached to your magnolia. And of
course right now, if you've got magnolia scale, you'll see
(36:20):
those bumps on the stems. Sometimes you'll notice high activity
of bees, wasps, hornets, flies hanging out because they love
the honeydew, the excrement from the scale, which is just
I call it scale poop, but excrement. And if they
don't eat all of that very sweet, it molds and
(36:43):
it's called sooty mold, and it turns your plants black
and anything underneath them as well, and it does weather off.
So if you've got that on there, just don't worry
about it. It'll visually go away. But again, check your
magnolia's out as you're walking around a little bit, you know,
the manage by walking around. I'm also asking you to
look at weeds. What's growing right now? Is it flowering,
is it trying to set seed? Get rid of weeds
(37:05):
right now, whether it's physical removal, spot treating with a
non selective vegetation killer, whatever it may be, but you
need to get rid of weeds now. Do not let
them reced and get a foothold in your vegetable garden,
perennial garden, wherever it may be. If you have some
spotty weeds here and there in the turf in the lawn,
(37:27):
let's hold off spot treating for those until when mid
to late October, that's the best time to go after
spot treating weeds in your lawn the most effective time,
especially for some of the harder to kill, harder to
get rid of weeds, broad leaf weeds to show up
in your lawn. Annual weeds like crabgrass in that will
(37:50):
naturally die because of the frost that actually takes them out,
and they come back from seed next year. And our
goal for all of those, of course, is to get
that lawn as thick as we can so that the
weeds have no room to grow and can't compete with
that turf, and we all know where the weeds pop
up is where the turf is not growing or it's
(38:11):
very thin. Harry Bittercrest sometimes can work his way up
through some pretty thick turf. But for the most part,
that's why you see that. So again, September for cool
season grasses is turf month. And of course, being dry
that it is right now and most of our areas
around here, you're gonna you know, watering again is going
(38:31):
to be key. Pre watering before you do any seating,
you know, get moisture in the ground for core aer
rators to work all of that. You're gonna do a
little bit of watering. And of course if you're seating
and you want to get it up and growing right away,
you got to keep watering. This is a situation, right.
Two things I bring up.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
One is.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
If you do core air rache your core area, your
longer vertical mult your beds or whatever, put organic matter
back in those holes. When you do that, you're creating
a more porous surface area. And every time it does
rain or you do water, your soil is more apt
to capture that and put it down into the turf.
So every time you can do that. Really, it's gonna
(39:12):
help your turf out down the road, especially in situations
like we're.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
In right now.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
So when you core air rate, take that second step
and put that compost back in those holes, you're gonna
find out how well that helps you down the road.
So do keep that in mind. If by chance you
put down seed and fertilizer and you're not able to
water it, that's just gonna sit there. Uh, don't panic.
It's just gonna sit there. Nothing's gonna happen. It's just
(39:36):
gonna sit there, and as soon as it gets moisture,
it'll react to that at that time, and hopefully we
will get some down the road. If you're not gonna
water and some folks are just gonna hold out and
wait to see what happens. We've got through the month
of September and early October to get it taken care of.
But the sooner, obviously the better. And my other point
would be irrigation, not that you would use all the time,
(39:59):
but that you would use is when needed if you
want to keep that turf, you know, good and healthy,
using good cultural practices. Were watering during drought times were
coming handy an irrigation system might not be a bad
idea for you. A long run and manually turn it
on and off. Don't put it on a timer. Manually
(40:19):
turn it on and off as needed. Might want to
keep that in mind before we go to the break.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Dick from Dayton, good morning, Good morning, how are you?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I am good? How about those redsband are a game
and a half out?
Speaker 6 (40:30):

her to you, oh little band Joe, it was kid
And yeah, it's just been been pretty nice. Yeah, they've
been having a little show and stuff. And then I
got to prove for They took me one of my
(41:18):
case workers. Come the bus will come around this area
you know, like by the Dayton Mall or all around.
So all I gotta do is call them up and
I get to go places. But I can't go to
Green County or you know, it'd just be around here.
But it's nice.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well, yeah, at least you got some transportation to get around,
so that's good. And don't forget you tell your coordinator
there that Ron Wilson said you got to get going
on those container gardens. So everybody has a garden work with.
Speaker 6 (41:49):
Yeah, yeah, all right, hey twenty twenty eight, twenty one.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Twenty eight, twenty one. Obviously you're picking the Bengals. Yeah,
all right, Dick, Thanks always a pleasure, a pleasure, all right,
take care bo buddy. All right, we have a break,
we come coming back. We're gonna talk to but you
want to talk to Ron. We wanna talk to Ron rothis.
Let's talk to Ron Roths. We're gonna find out about
the weather. We're gonna talk about watering. We're gonna talk
(42:15):
about proper tree planting. What if you planted it wrong
and he comes out and discovers that he's planet too deep?
Can he save your tree? I think he can. We'll
find out how here in the Garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Hell so let's do it yourself gardener at one eight
hundred eighty two three Talk You're in the Garden with
Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
Say
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I am Ron Wilson, your personally yard board. We are
talking about yardning and let's kick it off as we
always do, with a cup of Joe. Now y'all know
who Joe is, right, Joe Strecker, our executive producer, will
find out what's going on in his Nope, we won't.
We'll find out what's going on. Our webisode was Mode

(01:19):
said go on the rock route. They didn't have a
question mark on it. Go on the rock route, doing
the rock route, rock route and a garden art put
down landscape fabric down below that. Uh sure, no, you
won't know just probably just but rocks on top. Yeah, okay,
So that's the only time I ever recommend besides the
(01:41):
pathway or vegetable garden. Okay, that's good. Then they don't
sink down into the soil.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
The stays on top.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Maybe the maybe the garden fairy can come over and

(02:10):
I don't have those either. We'll have to talk to
Solivan about that. The old man.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yes, I might be able to help you in an afternoon.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes, okay, well, well we'll we'll see. Okay. Now, before
we get started, you seem anxious. Well, there's something that
bugs me, and I think we you know what I'm
going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Okay. So I started seeing the annual kissing bugs story
on all the TV stations. Oh yes, now, and they
make it sound like this is an epidemic of kissing bugs.
It's gonna be like locusts in the Bible. You're if
you if you get bit by one of these things,
(02:53):
you're gonna die. Right if when your dog gets bit
by one of these things. It's kids die, it's it's ridiculous. Yes,
it happens every single year, and they and they make
it seem like it's something that that that's just oh
it's this is a freakish thing. It's like, no, it's
been going on for I mean, how many one years
we've been talking about the kissing bugs? Ten years, fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It's not an issue.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's yeah, it's not.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And who always comes to the rescue, Buggy Joe, Buggy
Joe cutting everybody off, says time out exactly, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
And it's just in the the you know, the news,
they'll interview somebody that has absolutely no idea what they're
talking about. Oh yeah, this is really really bad. You
better It's like, no, it's not. No, it's not. So
if you're on Facebook or TikTok or whatever you watch,
We're watching the news or whatever, and you see these
stories about kissing bugs, it's all bull crap.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And there you have it there. But don't you think,
like you know that they're looking and saying, you know,
people didn't see this on TV on our show last year,
so we can do it now. Maybe the anchors weren't
there last year. Maybe the producers weren't part of the
thing last year, so they're not from.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Given the news turnover, that wouldn't surprise me. But still
you would think that that does happen. And there is
a kissing bug, and it can cause problems, but not here,
and and the problems it causes exactly are not the
problems that they're saying. You know, it's not going to
kill you if you get kissed by a kissing bug. Right,
(04:33):
it's not going to kill your dog if your dog
eats a kissing bug.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
There we have it.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I mean, all they're doing is trying to find this.
Wake Joe up right now? Yeah, better, he better talked
about kissing This'll call him right now and wake him up.
What's the number, Daniel, get him on the phone.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I wonder if he even can talk this early in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I doubt it. He doesn't have his mother coffee yet.
But well, it really got you fired up? Yeah, well,
because I saw it, and it's just it's it just
bugs me. It really does bug me. That in the
in the almanac, so so the Old Farmer's Almanac, the
one that's Ben Franklin says it's going to be cold,
(05:18):
and snowy in our area. Right, But then the Farmer's
Almanac says, no, it's going to be on season, be
worn who you go to be Well, it's almost like
they do that on purpose, so that at least one
of them is right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
So some mads me right at the end of the season. Yeah,
I'm gonna go off the Farmer's Almanac, but I'll take
the call. You know, you know where I'm going. Oh,
but you know, that's just that's another thing that bugs me.
To and ladies and gentlemen. That is your cup of
Joe Joe Strekers. His email address would be.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
My email address is doctor Z at Premiere at XM
radio dot com. You go Washington, d C, Washington, d C.
His phone numbers in guard two two kidd. But yeah,
it just that just bothers me. I get it every year,
every single year. Yep. And I'm sure it will be emails.
(06:12):
Oh well they're really really bad, but no they're not. Sorry,
quit listening to the propaganda.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Their ego laser Joe Strecker.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Now, now I don't think breath Now, I don't think
they're going to score seventy today. But I'm going to
guess at least forty two, I said forty one. Okay,
Well we'll see. So the over I.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Think I said it's the over seventeen. You think that
you think Ohio is going to score seven and six? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I think they're going to I think they're going to
score at least one touchdown.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
What are they going to have the fifth string? Are
they going to start bringing people in from the stands?
Their defense is incredible, I know, look pretty good last week?
Pretty good, pretty good.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'm saying. I'm saying that they will Yeah, yeah, Ohio
will score. Okay, but it's gonna be low. I'm going sixteen.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You think it's gonna be forty one to sixteen seven? Well,
thirteen State is favored by thirty, right, so that's why
I'm gonna think it's gonna be forty two to take
the spread forty two to three. Three, I'll get three. Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's a running back this time or running quarterback this time,
so we'll see throw a little something at him.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't know. We'll just hand the battle of bo Jackson.
I love I love that last week po Jackson Jackson
handed off the bow.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Who's the guy Who's a guy from West Virginia came there.
I can't think of his name.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Oh gosh, I'm drawing a blank. Doing well, but he's
doing well as well, So it gonna be you're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Tough that game on peacock yep, yeap, make sure you
have it's pretty sure us so I don't get to watch.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
If you're nice, i'll give you my pases so I
listen to listen to on the radio. Paul heels. Well,
if you're nice, i'll send you my password. We'll share,
you know, I'll do that, least publicly. We're not wanted
to do that anyway. What guests do you have on gues?
Are you done? Those are two things? Guess if I'm done?
(08:23):
If my rant on that, those are two things. Those
are my two things I had to get out? Okay, uh,
guess who would it be? Oh? No, readers, last week,
wasn't she? I'm just kidding. The wild winged wonder Yes
will join us today. Cool talking about birds as we
go in to the fall season, migratory birds and what's
going on, what to do with them. Of course, the
(08:45):
way we are right now, all.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Of Ohio now is in a slight to moderate drought
getting worse. No rainfall in the next ten days or so.
We're gonna talk to Ron Roethis. But we're gonna talk
to Ron not only about the weather, but we're gonna
talk about trees that have been planted too deep and
how we can correct how he corrects that and saves
those trees lives, and how what you need to look
for to make sure you ears aren't playing it too
(09:07):
deep either. So I have both of them on you,
Gary Sullivan and then Buggy Joe Boggs, And maybe he
will address the better kissing Bug story.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He better because that she is posted on your website
or for real, the tip sheet is on your website.
There you go. So the kissing Bug, the kissing Bug
tip sheet, or this the sheet that Buggy Joe does
is on there. There you go. Rita's recipe of the week. Yes,
is she's getting ready for October Fest?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yes she is.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And she has a chicken schnitzel and spetsla reig is
your mom. May now, now some people call it spatsl
but you but it's but German people call it spetsle.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yes, remember you try to teach me that last year.
Yeah and get it and yeah, well, yeah, Mom made it,
and I've made it the chicken. Yeah, I've made chicken
schnitzel with uh, and I made spetsula. But I'm going
to tell you this, the best schnitzel and spetsula I
(10:14):
ever had was when my aunt came over from Germany.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
God rest her soul. She passed away, gosh ten years now,
but she made it from scratch, and it was the
best schnitzel and spetsla I've ever had. And there's nothing
that can top it. I mean it was so tender,
it was fork tender, didn't even need a knife to
cut it. And now Rita when she makes her spets last,
(10:42):
she rolls the dough out and cuts it little pieces
and everything. What my aunt did was she got a
huge calendar and the dough was was still runny, and
she put the dough in the calendar and when it
dripped out, she pud cold waters. Yeah, she put cold
water underneath. And that's how she made her noodles. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And what was the beer your uncle when he came
over here from Germany? What was the beer he went for?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh? He likes Paul Honor, he likes Weiss beer. Ok. Yeah,
I'm not a I don't like Weis beer. I'm more
of a lagger.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
But he was looking at some of the German beers
we had. He's like, no, you don't now, you don't
drink that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah. Well he's like well yeah, He's like, well, he
said he he really doesn't like Warsteiner. And over there,
over here, people drink Warsteiner lacked like it's really exotic.
It's like in Germany, Warsteiners like bud light. Okay, he

the taste of it. I love the sours, yeah, and
and the uh and you know, the the rat the
ratter beers. Now I'm starting to get into the ones

a little bit there too long ago, this one. I
got about a minute a half to go before we
take a break at the bottom of the hour, I
just want to say real quick that, you know, after
all the things that have happened this week, and not
just this week, but it just gets it just seems
(18:19):
like it's getting worse and worse all the time out there,
I just want to throw out to everybody that you know,
if I have a suggestion for you. You know, gardening
can be a really good way to relieve the stress.
Gardening can be a really good way to get out
there and forget about other things that are going on
and enjoy mother nature and enjoy things that you can
(18:40):
do visiting garden centers. You don't have to buy anything.
Just go visit a garden centers. Like walking through a garden,
walking through the park, Go to the park, walk through
the park, go to the woods, go to the woods
and do a little shinrin yoku, shen yourn yoku. I've
talked about this for years. Forest bathing, It's been around
for thousands of years. To go and just sit in
(19:02):
the woods and and enjoy mother nature, all the different
depths and colors and and wildlife and the in the
atmosphere and the whole nine yards. To relax your brain,
to relax your soul, all right, kind of just get
rid of all of this crap that's going on out
there right now, release it out and just chill out.
(19:23):
But I sincerely for a little bit. And my last
thing was I was going to say, I sincerely suggest
that you leave the cell phone in the car when
you do that, all right, I get it, keep it
around for protection. She can call somebody. I understand that.
But let's just let's just drop those for a while.
Except for that, Yeah, except for that, and let's enjoy
(19:45):
mother nature. Let's get outside. Take your shoes off right now,
walk through the grass. When's the last time you did that?
Just walk through the grass.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Barefoot and I'll be about five minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Do it, Danny, You'll love it, but I'm serious. Get
out there. Let mother nature help. Maybe heals some of
these wounds, maybe help you feel better as well. That's
why I love guarding so much. Eight hundred eight two

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Talking to Yarding at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five, Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy, and I've got during this segment, I've
got three alerts for you, alarms or alerts that I
need you to pay attention to. Okay, I think is
very important one, and then I and everything we talk
about on here is important right one. If you are
(22:25):
planting trees and we're gonna talk about this later with
Ron rothis at our next our next hour. But if
you are planting trees as fall and you should be
all right, you know, and we talk about all the
proper procedures and making sure you get the malting around
that tree at least four to six feet in diameter,
and get it the right tree to bright place, and
get it planted properly and watered in properly, and got
(22:47):
yourself a schedule or water that as needed to the
rest of the fall season. That's great, but I don't
want you to walk away from that tree. Don't take
your hand off of that tree until you put a
tree trunk protector on the tree to protect it from
a buck deer coming in and rubbing its antlers on
(23:10):
your tree. For some reason, they love newly planted trees.
They love the smaller trees four inch diameters smaller. They'll
take on larger trees, but they love those. And I
have had folks that have planted, you know, God in
the garden center on Saturday, buy two or three nice
trees two inch diameter, take them home, spend the afternoon
getting them planted, malted and watered in. Get up in
(23:31):
the morning with a cup of coffee only to look
at their trees and they've all been rubbed and the
bark rubbed off the trees from a buck deer. So
do not walk away from your tree. I'm serious. Don't
walk away from your tree until you put a tree
trunk protector. If you've got deer within fifty miles of
(23:52):
your house, who doesn't, make sure you put a tree
trunk protector on that and keep it on that from
now through about the first of April, and then you
can take it off, and then we'll come back and
put it back on sometime mid August, latter part of August.
Then go from there. We've seen buck rubbing already. Used
to be September, now as early as mid August. All right,
(24:15):
that's warning number one. Protect your investment in your trees
by putting a tree trunk protector. Have existing trees in
your yard, I would still be doing small ones. I'd
still be doing it to those as well, because they'll
rub on those two. They may not come through your
yard for a couple of years and all of a
sudden come through and boom done deal. And after that
happens if they rub more bark off than a halfway
(24:38):
around the trunk of that tree. It's pretty low chances
that your tree is gonna survive. Now, I've seen some
trees take a pretty good hit and continue on. But
it's a time, we'll tell And all you can do
then is just sit back and wait and see what's
gonna happen. And so many times you can stunt the tree,
you know, get some other issues. So don't let it happen,
all right, don't let it happen to your trees. Jack
(25:00):
to tree trunks this fault starting right now. With tree
trunk protectors. Put it from the ground up to the
bottom branch, all right, ground to the bottom branch at
the ground. That tree trunk protector also protects the tree
trunk from getting chewed on by rabbits, voles and field mice,
because they'll do that over the winter time as well.
(25:21):
Keep your mulch away from the tree trunk about six
inches or so. Make it look like a doughnut. Make
sure that ring is four to six feet at least
in diameter, with mulch and no grass up against the tree,
and water as needed through the rest of the fall season.
That's warning number one or alert number one. Alert number two.
Last week, we posted on our website ron Wilson online
(25:41):
dot com that yellowjackets are active, and that's the name
of the of the posting yellowjackets are active and right
now yellowjackets become more noticeable for a couple reasons. One
is they are now looking to make nests and a
lot of them do it in the ground and they'll
use like vacated burrows from a mole or vole or
(26:06):
something that's kind of dug down in or a hole
down in the ground that they can get into, and
they love to do it where there's a little bit
of foliage there to kind of hide them some kind
of groundcover or whatever, and then they'll put that hole
right down in the side. They'll do that. And there's
several types of yellow jackets, by the way, and the
German yellow jacket. They like to get more in cracks
(26:27):
and crevices and walls that and they'll even go in
the crack around your heat vent or something going into
the foundation of the home. If they can't get into
that where it's not coked or the properly around that,
they'll build their nest inside your basement or wherever that
comes in. Right at that point, they like doing it.
Gary Sullivan, our home improvement expert, it's on every Saturday
(26:48):
morning funny thing. Two or three years ago, his wife
noticed a couple wasp or yellowjackets flying around the house
funny with downstairs and yelled for Gary and Gary, is
this supposed to be here? And it was a nest
of German yellow jackets, which you had to get rid of.
So you've got to be very cautious. But they are
very active right now. They're building these nests. Now they
still die out over the wintertime, but they build these
(27:11):
nests build up the population. So while they're doing that,
they're also they're eating habits changed from meat. They're a
caterpillar eater. They love meat and things, and you'll see
them on dead things on the road as well, eating
that kind of meat. But they do a nice job
in your garden taking care of most of the caterpillars
if they can. But now they go to the sugars.
(27:32):
And that's why. Now when you're sitting outside at your
favorite restaurant or whatever, and you're trying to have a
margeritae or a coke or whatever it may be, you
got yellowjackets all over because they're after the sugar. Now,
they're going for the pro that the sugar, the high
energy sugar to finish out the rest of the season.
So you're gonna see them very active. As a matter
of fact, I'm sitting here right now itching my left
(27:53):
hand in the area between my index finger and my
thumb were slightly swollen. Yesterday, my neighbor was out doing
something in the front yard and realized that there was
a horn or a yellow jacket nest in front of
their window well. And there's a low ground cover of
uanamus six inches high growing in front of this window well.
(28:17):
And they had created a small hole right through that uana,
it says, perfect cover, and down a small depression down
the front of that window well. And there were a
ton of them. So somebody tried to drown it out
with water, and they're still They're still very there and
very active. So I went and got a can of
the foaming yellow jacket and hornet spray. Now, I don't know,
(28:39):
I'm gonna do a little investigating here, and I'm not
going to say the brand name. But when I got
there and started to spray, all right, it didn't foam.
It looked like I was spraying white paint, and I
just I kept hitting the hole and I kept waiting
for the foam because the old foamers would foam up
like a six to eight inch ball around the top
of that hole, and they couldn't fly out out of
(29:02):
the ground, which was great, and by the time they
crawled through that they were toast. They couldn't get up
in the air whole nine yards. Well, this didn't do that,
and surprisingly enough I got stung on the hand by one,
but I got away, No big deal, and today I'm
itching like crazy, was itching all night last night. Not
that big of a deal, all right, But it does happen,
(29:22):
and it could be a serious situation. So if you
are not comfortable doing that type of thing, call in
the exterminators and let them take care of it for you.
But again, go and look at this the bulletin that's
from last week on our website, and it says yellowjackets
are active. The hole that you see there that he's
got an example of in that groundcover is exactly what
(29:44):
it looked like at my neighbor's house in front of
their window. Well, and so last night I went with it.
I went and got another foaming one from another manufacturer.
It didn't foam up like the old foams used to
as well. So now I'm going to investigating here. I'm
gonna buy whole bunch of them and find out which
one is the best foamer, because it's the foam that
(30:06):
knocks them down and don't it doesn't let them come
after you. I was count on that, but it didn't
do the job. But they were not very active at
eight o'clock last night, and so I think we knocked
quite a few of them out, and maybe I got
enough in there to kill out the nest. I don't know,
but it's a very such serious situation. So as you
are working in your foundation plantings, groundcovers and things, cleaning
(30:29):
out and doing whatever you're doing getting into the fall season,
I always turn the rake around and take the stick
and you know, the hand them kind of poke around
a little bit, just to make sure there's no activity
with the wasps, hornets or yellow jackets in those shrubs
before I start sticking my hands in there. Spiders the
same way. Some of those funnel spiders can be pretty
big and pretty scary last but not least all right.
(30:52):
It is dry. We in Ohio. For the most part.
We're going to talk to Ron Rothus about this in
our next are in a moderate slightly to moderate drought situation,
not as bad, I don't think as it was last year.
At this time. It is dry falls a great time
for planting. I urge you to continue to keep planting,
(31:14):
keep your watering going. It's important to water right now,
especially the evergreens, but it is really dry. And again,
as you're planting new trees and shrubs and evergreens, make
sure you stick with them, soaking that root ball, surrounding
soil around it on a regular basis. Hopefully we'll get
some rainfalls coming through here. Get moisture back in the ground.
(31:35):
If you're trying to do lawn renovation, moisture is the key.
So you're gonna have to do some irrigation or sprinkling
or whatever to keep moisture in the ground. If you're
looking to do lawn renovation, which a lot of us
did not get to do last year because it stayed
dry so long into the season we were kind of
waiting it out. So you're gonna have to do that.
And I can't stress enough evergreens, watering evergreens during the
(31:57):
dry times of the year is key to the success.
Success of those evergreens and all the plants, but evergreens
especially and especially going into the fall and going into
the winter season. If they go into the winter under
a drought stress, not a good thing. Planting new evergreens
right now, and you don't water on a regular basis,
or you skip a couple of waterings, not a good thing.
(32:20):
Right So those are my three alerts for you today.
One is deer protection for your trees, younger trees around
those trunks. Number two, yellowjackets are definitely very active right
now building their nests at all, and they're looking for sugars.
So watch your drinks, what's your food as you're eating,
watch as you're gardening. They are building nests in the ground,
(32:42):
things like that, so be careful with that as well.
If you do use the foam sprays, test it first.
Before I didn't. I just took it off as stoopid
me and just started spraying and it didn't foam anyway,
Check that out as well, so make sure you're cautious
about that. And number three, your plants are thirsty, join
them for a drink. Eight hundred eight two three eight

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five. I'm talking about yarding all kinds of things
going on out there right now. If you've got magnolias,
not so much the southern or the sweet bays, but
all the other varieties, check them out for magnolia scale.
Those crawlers are active right now, and this is the
(35:15):
time to go after them. Should you have magnolia scale,
and you would use like insecticidal soap or horticultural oil
to spray on there about once every seven to ten days,
two or three times to try to kill the crawlers.
That's one of the best ways to start to suppress those.
You can also use a soil drench systemic. It's too
(35:37):
late to do that now, but you could do that
in the springtime after they're finished flowering, or anytime in
the summertime to get that up inside the plant. That
helps as well. And then that horticultural oil, which does
a great job and it's all natural for controlling those crawlers.
Can also be used as a dormant spray late fall,
(35:59):
you know, when a temperature get more consistently down into
the forty forty five degrees, leaves are gone, the plant's
pretty much gone dormant. You can use it at that time.
You can also use it in late winter early spring
as a dormant spray to go after some of the
ones that are still attached to your magnolia. And of
course right now, if you've got magnolia scale, you'll see
(36:20):
those bumps on the stems. Sometimes you'll notice high activity
of bees, wasps, hornets, flies hanging out because they love
the honeydew, the excrement from the scale, which is just
I call it scale poop, but excrement. And if they
don't eat all of that very sweet, it molds and
(36:43):
it's called sooty mold, and it turns your plants black
and anything underneath them as well, and it does weather off.
So if you've got that on there, just don't worry
about it. It'll visually go away. But again, check your
magnolia's out as you're walking around a little bit, you know,
the manage by walking around. I'm also asking you to
look at weeds. What's growing right now? Is it flowering,
is it trying to set seed? Get rid of weeds
(37:05):
right now, whether it's physical removal, spot treating with a
non selective vegetation killer, whatever it may be, but you
need to get rid of weeds now. Do not let
them reced and get a foothold in your vegetable garden,
perennial garden, wherever it may be. If you have some
spotty weeds here and there in the turf in the lawn,
(37:27):
let's hold off spot treating for those until when mid
to late October, that's the best time to go after
spot treating weeds in your lawn the most effective time,
especially for some of the harder to kill, harder to
get rid of weeds, broad leaf weeds to show up
in your lawn. Annual weeds like crabgrass in that will
(37:50):
naturally die because of the frost that actually takes them out,
and they come back from seed next year. And our
goal for all of those, of course, is to get
that lawn as thick as we can so that the
weeds have no room to grow and can't compete with
that turf, and we all know where the weeds pop
up is where the turf is not growing or it's
(38:11):
very thin. Harry Bittercrest sometimes can work his way up
through some pretty thick turf. But for the most part,
that's why you see that. So again, September for cool
season grasses is turf month. And of course, being dry
that it is right now and most of our areas
around here, you're gonna you know, watering again is going
(38:31):
to be key. Pre watering before you do any seating,
you know, get moisture in the ground for core aer
rators to work all of that. You're gonna do a
little bit of watering. And of course if you're seating
and you want to get it up and growing right away,
you got to keep watering. This is a situation, right.
Two things I bring up.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
One is.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
If you do core air rache your core area, your
longer vertical mult your beds or whatever, put organic matter
back in those holes. When you do that, you're creating
a more porous surface area. And every time it does
rain or you do water, your soil is more apt
to capture that and put it down into the turf.
So every time you can do that. Really, it's gonna
(39:12):
help your turf out down the road, especially in situations
like we're.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
In right now.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
So when you core air rate, take that second step
and put that compost back in those holes, you're gonna
find out how well that helps you down the road.
So do keep that in mind. If by chance you
put down seed and fertilizer and you're not able to
water it, that's just gonna sit there. Uh, don't panic.
It's just gonna sit there. Nothing's gonna happen. It's just
(39:36):
gonna sit there, and as soon as it gets moisture,
it'll react to that at that time, and hopefully we
will get some down the road. If you're not gonna
water and some folks are just gonna hold out and
wait to see what happens. We've got through the month
of September and early October to get it taken care of.
But the sooner, obviously the better. And my other point
would be irrigation, not that you would use all the time,
(39:59):
but that you would use is when needed if you
want to keep that turf, you know, good and healthy,
using good cultural practices. Were watering during drought times were
