I'm Chris Keaton, I'm Chris Joiner. Man, it feels good outside.
It's not it's little chrisp A little cool falls here.
I guess it is? Is it officially false?

Speaker 6 (00:58):
It's it's facially fault.

Speaker 7 (00:59):
I don't know, man, I hadn't even paid attention to
it because it's been so hot. But we yeah, and
it's great because we got a little break from we
got a little break from the.

Speaker 6 (01:08):
Dry weather for like two days, for a.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Couple of days.

Speaker 7 (01:11):
But it's gonna get right back dry again. But that
rain that we had this past week was pretty nice.

Speaker 8 (01:16):
Yeah, where you were at too, you know what we
were we got, I think. So I went over and Mike,
you know, called and he said, hey, you know, we
had to go do a few repairs because obviously it's
hot as dry. We don't even like doing repairs, but
we had to go do a few repairs because we
had them back up on us a little bit. We've
been stuck on this job in Shoal Creek for God

(01:38):
for a month or so. And uh so we had
all these you know, repairs back up right quick, so
we had to just jump on them right quick and
just spend one day doing doing that just kind of
get everybody's water running again.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
So Mike was on the list.

Speaker 8 (01:52):
Mike an n and uh He's like, man, I got
a sprinkler head down here that ain't moving, So I
replaced the head for him or whatever. But I'm looking
at his rain gauge in a two and a half
inches of rain in it.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
YEP.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
I was like, wow, I don't know what we got here.

Speaker 7 (02:06):
I don't know because I didn't have a I didn't
have mine. I didn't look at my I I have
a rain gauge. I got wheelbarrow.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
I dropped the ball. You know, normally I've got a
mason jar.

Speaker 8 (02:15):
You know, if we got rain coming or whatever, I'll
set that mason jar out there on the on the
on the banister of the porch and uh, I'll just say, Okay,
that's that's what we got, you know. And I didn't
do it, and uh, I guess it's just been so
long since we got a rain. I was like, well,
no need.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
For the day for that. They're just collecting, collecting dirty.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
So we had Claire had physical therapy that that Wednesday
went rain, so we got I picked them up from school,
took them to physical therapy. So I got to physical
therapy at like three ten, and as we were walking
in the door, you started hearing thunder. And it may
have been three twenty or so that it started raining
and it didn't stop. I mean it rained in Springville

(02:56):
like all on and off pretty much all night long.
Even the next morning when I woke up. It was
that just misty light drizzle that doesn't show up on
the radar, you know, enough to make everything nasty. But
that was kind of the on and off all night
long really is what we needed. And of course that
was Wednesday. Of course it rained because Tuesday I ran
my irrigation.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
That's how. That's how I know it's gonna rain.

Speaker 7 (03:19):
Like if I run my irrigation all the way through,
I know within the next day or two it's going
to rain.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
It.

Speaker 8 (03:25):
You just created enough moisture in the atmosphere, that's right.
Everybody get a little.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Bit cloud cloud seating. That's what I did.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yeah, I run in a little more often. So Yeah.

Speaker 8 (03:35):
But you know, the job we're working on on Shoal Creek,
so you know that was two days ago. We got
the rain the day after that. Uh, you know, it's like, man,
it's too muddy over there to do anything whatever. Then
yesterday we're trying to heartily reckon it's too dusty. Yeah,
we didn't get we didn't get as much down there
on that job as we thought we did. And uh

(03:56):
but yeah, they're supposed to be dropping said over there tuesday,
so ready to be done with nothing.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
Yeah, And it's uh, I mean I was sitting in
the office with Jenny and and yesterday and so we've
got basically like a big dry race board. You know,
we've got all our customers lined up and uh, you
know this this summer, spring and summer, we've really been
able to knock out a lot of landscaping.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yeah, because we haven't had rain days really.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
Even even when we were getting a ton of rain
in you know, June and or May and June and July,
it was like coming at the right time, you know
what I mean. It was raining at the very end
of the day, raining overnight. So from like a day's
off perspective, we've been very fortunate. So we were we've
been able to bust out landscaping, and we've been able
to stay on top of landscaping to where we didn't
get behind. And then you know when it gets when

(04:42):
it's one hundred degrees outside, that's kind of the last
thing on people's mind, you know that I want to
plant plants because I don't I don't want to water
them because it's just blistering hot out. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (04:52):
We obviously we don't have as much work come in
right in that in that July to you know, late
August you know timeframe, or you know, up in the
first week of September even but that don't have as
much work come in because I mean, it gets hot
every year, it gets dry every year. People like, man,
you know I'm gonna wake the fall. Well, guess what,
it's fall.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
All that script has flipped because you know, basically, like
the whole month of October, you know it was there
was names all over that board.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
So you know, people have really.

Speaker 7 (05:20):
Been jumping on the bandwagon getting their landscaping, and it's
you know, it's just it's we're doing after the radio show,
we're doing the same thing. We're gonna be outside cutting
the grass, cleaning up, doing this, doing that, decorating for Halloween.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Because it's actually nice outside.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Man, you can get out there and you can enjoy it.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
You know, you can go out in the morning and
drink a cup of coffee and not be sweating at
six point thirty. So people at this time of year,
it's like spring. You know, when you first start getting
those warm days, people get energized. Well, right now for fall,
people are starting to get back out, they're getting energized,
they're starting to work back in their yards again. And
so basically what I'm saying is is go ahead and

(05:57):
get on the books, because we are we are booking
up you know four fall through October, you know into
November and December for landscaping.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
So go ahead and.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
Give us a call eight five four four thousand and
five and get on the books for landscaping, Chris Keith.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Irrigation is still going to be a big deal.

Speaker 8 (06:14):
I mean October and need a irrigationing system at some
point regardless.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Yeah, last October, and I was showing Jenny this a
few weeks ago. Last October, October twenty twenty four, we
got about a quarter inch. Youurrain entire month, so you're
going to need an irrigation Yeah, that's a common trend.
You know, usually May is we get into a bad
dry spell, and usually September and October. So if you've
got a yard and you want to keep it beautified,

(06:40):
as mister Hill said yesterday when I was out on
his yard, you got to have an irrigation system, yep.

Speaker 8 (06:46):
And I mean we're still rocking and rolling with walls
and patios and stuff like that too. This is the
time of year where you can actually get out there
and enjoy it. You know, that's cool. You're sitting out there,
you're having a cold one, you you know, grilling you
some chicken whatever watching the a I mean, guess they
are hard to beat.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
Man.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
If you need a patio or something like that, call
us eight five four four thousand and five and we'll
be glad to come out there and making an outdoor
living space.

Speaker 7 (07:09):
I had the opportunity to dride around with Justin and
Hall equipment this past week and we'd been doing a
job up at Cook Springs.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
You probably have been there. I think we cleared a
bunch of land.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
We brought our lamb track, our forest clear forest multure
out there and cleared a bunch of trees around the
guy's pond. And and so we're finishing up. I think
we put a drain pipe in and did some grading
and we're going to be seeding once we get rained.
But we had to move that from uh, move that
machine from Cook Springs, the skid steering excavator from Cook

(07:40):
Springs down to Basic bib County advance behind the Mercedes plant.
When I say the Mercedes plant, you pass the Mercedes plant,
you keep on driving down dirt roads.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
And we've done some work for.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
King of may Co.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, the cutlers.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
We did there, a big nice patio for them in
River Chase but he's got land with a shooting range,
and we're building like a almost a two hundred foot
wall out of railroad ties. And Chris Keith, you just
cringe when I said railroad ties saw him. This is
a little different because this is for shooting like match
like shooting pew pew.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (08:13):
When I saw him, when I saw him with that
trade a load of railroad ties, I said, what are
you doing going to building you know, a fence on
a two hundred acre farm or something. He's like, now,
a building the wall? I said, wall out of that.
We just don't do that.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
You know, we do not. But in this case he's played.

Speaker 8 (08:30):
He's like, now that this is more for like rickychet purposes.
I okay, I understand.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Railroad ties are one of those things.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
I mean, that's probably one of the biggest like DIY
gone wrong.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Experiences that you've ever seen in your life. Chrisky. You
see it all the time, you know.

Speaker 7 (08:48):
I mean, people get railroad ties, people get real landscape timbers,
and they try to do these little three four foot
walls to hold back dirt and they may last for
a year or two and then they end up crumbling
them down.

Speaker 8 (09:00):
That we're six or eight from yeah all you know,
and they're you know rotten, it's all get out, you know,
and we're out there with an excavator taking that thing
out and putting in a you know, a segmented block
retaining wall and uh you know, they last you know,
fifteen twenty years or whatever, and then you're right back
in there redoing it. So man, put the one in
there that's gonna out last like like.

Speaker 7 (09:22):
Generations, like the Egyptian pyramids. It's a classic gardens walls
or for real light. But no, we do a lot
of a lot of different stuff. I know, justin typically
gets busy this time of year, you know, doing land clearing.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
You know we've done you.

Speaker 7 (09:37):
Know, it's a good time you rep work for like
you know, if somebody needs a shop built or something
like that, or you've got a mobile home or camper
or something like that and you've got a lot and
you just need it cleared off and and uh leveled
for to put that on all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 8 (09:50):
Well, some of the time it's a real good time
to do forest multon too, because I mean you go
in there and the leaves are starting to fall off,
the trees, now so you can kind of get a
look through the through the woods of I want to
leave this tree right here and all that where a
lot of times when you know you can't see the
forest for the trees. You know, there's so much undergrowth
and trash in these areas to where you just can't

(10:12):
see it. And this time of year, know when when
a lot of the foliage falls off of that stuff
and everything, you kind of look out there and pinpoint
and say, yep, that tree standing up, and it's is
easier to kind of maneuver and look around in there
and see what you want to do. So forest Moltch
is a big deal right now. Obviously, when it's dryer
like this, it's a better time of year to do
drainage work. So if you got you know, down spouts

(10:36):
and he piped out. We're constantly going in with like
garden homes subdivisions and stuff like that, where they I mean,
I say garden home subdivisions, but really I mean, now
that's kind of the new trend. I mean they take
two big monster houses and they stick them, you know,
fifteen feet apart, and this guy's water's going on this
guy and this guy's water's coming in there, and you

(10:56):
got this big muddy area in between each one of
the yards. And a lot of times this neighbor will
pay for half, and that neighbor will pay for half,
and we take both of their down spouts from both houses.
Say this one's got three down spouts and that one's
got three down spouts. So we put all them into
a bigger pipe and run them out of the yard.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
So we do that kind of stuff all the time.

Speaker 7 (11:15):
It is funny how that trend has changed because we
talk about garden homes all the time, and it used
to be that way. You know, you had you lived
in a house with kids, you know that may have
been three four thousand square feet, and then when the
kids flew the coop and you wanted to downsize, you
went to garden home and it was a one level
slab brick house that was maybe twelve hundred square feet

(11:37):
and that was big with a single car garage. And uh,
now it's quite opposite. It's you know, it's still like
a quarter acre lot, but the house might be two
thousand square feet and it'll be two stories.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
That might be three thousands. That thing straight up there,
you know.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
It's not what it used to know. It's not what
it used to be. Weird how that happened? Well, Christmas time.
Excuse me, it's time for a break. Let's go ahead
and do that. Our number if you want to give
us a call and ask us a gardening question, you

to bring me the best possible insurance and price. Green
Houge Insurance is a family run business with his wife
Marcia and son Adam involved. As Russ eases up a little,

(12:47):
Adam is stepping in. I remember when my home on
my farm burned down to the ground. I called Russ
that afternoon, and the next morning I had an adjuster
standing next to me on my farm. My memory is
a little foggy, but the way I tell the story
is he wrote me a check on the spot for
the full amount of the policy. If it didn't happen

(13:08):
that way, it was so easy to work with them.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
That it seemed it happened that way.

Speaker 9 (13:13):
I also remember when my house in Birmingham had tornado damage.
I called Green Houge late on a Saturday, prepared to
leave a message on the phone. Russ answered. I said, Russ,
why are you work so late on a Saturday? He said, Mike,
there was a storm and I'm expecting some phone calls
from my customers. It might be hard to believe, but
that's the kind of service you get from Green Houge Insurance.

Speaker 8 (17:06):
Show you our time limit, Now no po are back
on the Classic guardens Of landscape. Show but that is
one of the dreaded things that we're dealing with right
now this time of, year Is. Poanna it's gonna be, germinating.
Yep and all you got to do is start right,
now put a pre emerging. Out i'm gonna have people
call and. Complaining it never. Fails, MAN i got these
stickers out here in my. Yard you know what can?

(17:29):
Come you know may what CAN i?

Speaker 6 (17:31):
What you?

Speaker 8 (17:31):
Know what CAN i do about? It And i'm gonna
tell you there ain't nothing you to do about? It
do we freeze on a kill? It but the burrs
still there.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
And it's gonna stay. There it's day.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
There so you've got to go in there right, now
put a pre emerging out for poanna hen, bit you, know.

Speaker 6 (17:44):
The purple crap that comes up all over your.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
Yard if you don't put a pre emerging out now
that you're gonna get all that. Stuff so now's the
time to do. It it's also time to winter. Rize
uh so if you need to get all that stuff
out to get it done.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
Now winterizer is, basically i explain to people's kind of
that's a fall. Fertilizer so like the long food plus
iron in the orange, bag you don't come in and
put that down right now because it's got.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
A high nitrogen content in, it and so you really.

Speaker 7 (18:11):
Don't the grass is kind of slowly starting to go to, sleep,
right starting to starting to get in.

Speaker 6 (18:15):
Bed it's, losing it's, lusty you, know.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
And so you don't want to come in with the
heavy dose of.

Speaker 7 (18:19):
Fertilizer but the winterizer is basically it's got a lower
nitrogen level in, it so it kind of it gives
you some. Growth it gives you a little bit of,
growth helps keep the yard green as we go into.
Fall but it's also got a higher level it's got
a higher level of potassium in, it so that basically
helps build winter, hardiness helps with the root strength of

(18:41):
the grass and makes it more. Resilient go into the, fall.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
That good dose of.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
Potash at this time of, year you get into you,
know the first of, spring and you know your grass
jumps out, there you, know two weeks before everybody else's
and jumps out there and greens up way. Faster so
it's a good time of year to put you winter
eyes are. Out we've got it right there at the
garden centers to swing by there and pick you.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
Up so but the bag of, gold we just got
another shipment a bag of gold in because it's been going.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
Out, well you put both of them out the same day,
Too so that's.

Speaker 7 (19:11):
Right and don't you know we talked about last, week
not waiting on the rain to put that. Down if you,
haven't Typically september is a timeframe where you really want
to stress the importance of putting your pre merging, down
especially this bag of. Gold but if you hadn't done
it yet because you were kind of waiting on the,
rain don't wait on. That go ahead and do it
and make sure it gets watered in and even Into.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
October it's not.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
Like weed seeds and all German ate like on the
same day at the same. Time so you have a,
window you, Know september Into october where you can get
your pre mergent down and still stay ahead of the.
Game you, know you Said may is when you people
start calling about burr weeding. Everything well start that's a long.
Time but that's a long time for. Hour so that's
that's what we're thinking. About we're thinking about you, know

(19:55):
six months from, Now like what you do right, now
it's going to affect how your yard looks six months from.
Now and a lot of people kind of have a
hard time visualizing.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
That you, know especially when it comes to get down
to this.

Speaker 8 (20:09):
Door it's easier for them to Visual like when you
say it's birth control for your. Weeds there you. Go
you know everybody knows what birth control. Is, well you
know what happens if you don't take.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
It you take birth. Control in, fact it ain't gonna
do no good much.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
Later you know what's gonna, happen you know What i'm.

Speaker 8 (20:24):
Saying so, well, yeah that's the best analogy you could,
have is like it's basically sterilizing weed. Seed so you,
know if we put it out there, now it's gonna
block that stuff and we won't get.

Speaker 7 (20:35):
It come in and get it better, yet call us
eight five four four thousand and. FIVE i can come
out and give you a quote to take care of
the yards.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yourself.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Yep and that's you, know we talked about garden home.
Trends that's kind of been one of the trends this.
YEAR a lot of people that have been DI I
wire's they've just got tired of doing. It AND i
know a lot of folks listening to the radio show,
NOW i want, to you, know thank, them you, know
because they that we've delivered products to them for. You
they came into the garden center and they decided to
let us come out and treat the yard for him AND.

(21:04):
I we really appreciate, it and it makes their lives
a lot.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Easier you. Know they'll tell, me they'll be.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Like, HEY i JUST i got tired of worrying about
it and doing, it And i'd rather just get out

Speaker 7 (29:37):
You you, Know anne had some real pretty. Moms she's
selling those in the garden. Centers, yeah she's got a
little small shipment of pansies in been selling. Those got
a good stock of vegetables. In so you got called
and my fall vegetable garden? Stinks does it?

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Really?

Speaker 6 (29:52):
Man so hang?

Speaker 5 (29:54):
On hang on Now i'm, confused.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Man so everything was going good and THEN i had
a rabbit move.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
In, oh SO i got.

Speaker 8 (30:03):
That you, KNOW i was putting out mill. Organize so
the deer just they ain't messing with. It you can
see deer tracks all around the garden and they ain't
touching my.

Speaker 5 (30:09):
Stuff it's just like a path that goes around the. Garden.

Speaker 8 (30:11):
Yeah the problem is they don't. Repel they don't repel.
Rabbits SO i had a rabbit getting there and screw
some stuff. Up, WELL i took care of, him and
THEN i got to notice and my plants were, wilton
AND i, said what's going on? Here AND i got
to look in every one of my broccoli, plants and
part of my cabbage plants had a little bitty ant

(30:33):
he'll right at the stem of every, plant and you
could literally that those. Ants BECAUSE i was watering so,
MUCH i guess they just drew them to that.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
Area you.

Speaker 8 (30:46):
Know it's kind of funny because like my whole garden
WHERE i don't have anything, planning is scorch. Dead and
Where i've been watering that that broccoli and all that,
Stuff i've got to stand of crab grass about two
in which is. Tall that's all in. There it just
looks like a green field around the cabin.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Nup so.

Speaker 8 (31:06):
You couldn't really see the bottom stem of that stuff
because that crab grass had come up on, there but
you could see just see those plants wheeled AND i said,
dad gumm. It SO i had some, UH i had
some bi fence and bug, blaster AND i took that
bug blaster and put around those. Things but too, little too,
LATE i went end up losing about half my broccoli

(31:28):
and all that. STUFF i mean it literally was pretty
and then it was just like you can just reach
down and just pick it up out of the, ground
like they just ate.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
The roots and probably just a stem of.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
IT i think what happened is more or less just
deteriorated because the water granted was going down in. There
but it's just like a tree that has, chipmunks you
know around the bottom of. It air gets around the
bottom of. It it droves those plants. Out but you could
pick those plants up like the stem just rotted.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
Slim, well like bowles got.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
In SO i gotta go around.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
Two well we got round two at the garden center
because we got we got a great shipment of fall plants.
In PROBABLY i would say another week or two we'll
get a big shipment of pansies in with their, flats you,
know and various you, know various other, plants violas and.
Everything it's just been so hot last few weeks that

(32:20):
hadn't gotten them.

Speaker 8 (32:21):
Inly prime time on pansies is Like october, fifteenth Like
november the, Fifteenth you got like a three week window
right there where your prime selection on pansies is.

Speaker 6 (32:31):
Good then after that it dwindles.

Speaker 8 (32:33):
Off you, know people don't plant pansies like they used to, Anyway,
chris there's not as many quote unquote gardeners out there
as there used to, be the little old ladies that
you know would come in the garden center and buy
five trays of pansies and put them out every. Year
they're just that's a that's really a dying breed to
be honest, with and it's it's kind of. Sad but

(32:54):
not to, mention uh, football you, know has you, know
Would Nick saban being In? ALABAMA i suppose you, know
And alabama just you, know took off and got, crazy
and you, know there's so many people that just are
glued to THE tv every Every saturday and just don't

(33:15):
people just don't pay attention to you know that stuff
like it new fall gardening like, that and so many.

Speaker 7 (33:20):
People just have moved to flower pots, now you know
where instead of going in and really like amending areas
in the ground and having like bedding plant. Beds they
they've gone away from that and they just you, know
they have a flower pot at the front, door maybe
one on the back porch or two on the back
paty or, whatever and so they'll only have To that's
why so many, people including, nuts have gone to those

(33:42):
little like three inch cups and two and a half
inch cups versus versus, flats because people come in and
just buy enough for a couple of flower. Pots and
IT'S i, MEAN i don't blame, them it's. Easier, Yeah
But i'm DOING i Told, Anna i'm doing pansies this,
year And i'm gonna get an early. Start so that's
the thing with pansies is is you have to get
a kind of an earlier.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
START i would usually.

Speaker 7 (34:02):
Wait, till like we almost go out of town For,
thanksgiving and THEN i would plant my.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
Pansies but but then it goes.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Cold after that and they don't have time to get
established and grow a little. Bit So i'm gonna try
to get on The i'm gonna try to jump on
it quick and get them in the ground so we've
got a little bit of heat so that they can
kind of grow and get beefy and they'll you, know
look good through the winter.

Speaker 8 (34:24):
Months, yeah you get you almost got to jump on,
it like right when the selection gets good at the
first part of. It that, way you got two or
three weeks for them to kind of take hold and do.
Something otherwise you go in there and plant them and
they're already a little leggy and not doing, right and
they just don't do that well.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
And they don't look.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
Good they don't look good until like Next April, may
and by then it's time to rip them out and
plant you, know spring.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
Stuff.

Speaker 8 (34:48):
Yep, Well, chris We're chris And, chris and we Got chris.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
ONLINE i, Wonder, chris how you, doing?

Speaker 10 (34:54):
Buddy i'm doing, good thank. You and how are you guys?

Speaker 6 (34:58):
Doing, Man we're doing.

Speaker 10 (34:59):
GOOD I. Uh i've got a natural privacy fence in my,
backyard like a big wall of mature. Arboridis, Yeah And
i've noticed the last year or so that some of
them will start turning pale and then go brown and completely.

(35:20):
Die and there doesn't seem to be any sort of,
uh you, know order to them dropping. Out so there's
probably been about four or five of, them three of
them That i've cut out. ALREADY i tried to replant
the replants, died And i've got probably three that are

(35:43):
that are pretty much dead and one that's completely. Dead
that is so a total of about seven of these.
Trees uh That i'm That i'm just struggling. With i've,
called you, know some people to come look at, them
and they seem to think it's some sort of funk
goal problem in the root. Structure SO i Guess i'm

(36:03):
wondering if you guys have any thoughts about that and
maybe about you, know what to do with the dead
ones replanning. THEM i like the look of the arbor.
VIDES i don't want to plant something. DIFFERENT i just
need to know how to keep them.

Speaker 8 (36:17):
Thriving, YEAH i don't think there's any if if it is,
fungal AND i mean they've they've obviously seen them and we.
Haven't but if it is some kind of root rot
disease or something like, that then, uh they're probably telling
you the, truth and you, know you may have to
switch to a different. Plant you, know it's something tough

(36:40):
for like a holly or something like, That but a
lot of times even other you, know types of plants
are are susceptible to like root fi topthra.

Speaker 6 (36:50):
And root rot diseases like.

Speaker 8 (36:51):
That you don't have Anything i'm asking you don't have
anything that's boring around, them you, know like a, chip
chipmunks or or anything like that in the in the
area at.

Speaker 10 (37:05):
All WOULD i see that on the on the trunk
of the of the the, Tree.

Speaker 8 (37:11):
Well you should see, holes you, know like like chipmunks bore,
in you, know around the roots of, trees all.

Speaker 10 (37:18):
Around around the dirt at the base of the tree.

Speaker 7 (37:21):
There, yeah you would see see base almost like golf
ball to baseball sized holes like in the dirt around
the around the. Trees and that would be, chipmunks.

Speaker 10 (37:33):
Not That i've.

Speaker 8 (37:33):
Noticed, yeah, so and there's other things too that they
could be getting that really doesn't have anything to do
with the. Roots they couldn't you, know you could have
had spider mikes getting those, things and spider mics literally
you the only way you could tell you got spider.
Mikes if you've got a one of those arborides that's
like going, south you, know like it's not dead, yet

(37:56):
but it.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
Looks like it's said that.

Speaker 8 (37:57):
Way what you do is take some of the to
take some of the, foliage and you would literally just
kind of crumple it over a white sheet of paper
and you'd wreck that and you just take your finger
and wipe across just so if you went just basically
from right to left or left to, right and you would,
wipe and there there'd be, tighting tiny particles on. There

(38:20):
it's so small that you can barely even see them at.
All and you when you, wipe you would see like
a little blood, trill you, know like you when you wiped,
across you would leave like you basically you just squashed
the spider.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
Mic and you'd smear across your smearing it across the.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
Paper but these LITTLE i.

Speaker 8 (38:37):
Mean WHEN i say spider mites are so dang, small
you just about can't see that guy on a white
sheet of. Paper but if you if you get spider
mites in them like, that what it'll do with a
start in one spot a lot of times and it
just kind of moves through the whole the whole, thing
and if you don't get, cured you, know it just
gradually spreads from one to the.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Next and, uh you they're.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
Really bad in dry weather like, This and obviously last
fall we had a real dry you know fall and this,
fall we're we're in the same trend kind of. Thing and,
uh that's when you start seeing spider might issues some
of the. Time we have issues with bagworms and those.
Things but, bagworms you'd be able to. Tell it looks
like you would have like little cocoons hanging in. There

(39:22):
so if you've had somebody come and look at, it
they would have. Noticed you would think if they're trained,
die they would have noticed bagworms in. There so, uh,
YEAH i would lean towards spider. Mics but, again you,
know they can't get root disease in them as, well
so that's a.

Speaker 10 (39:38):
Possibility so once once they've turned like, this the only
the only thing is to dig them.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Out and.

Speaker 10 (39:47):
Is there is there soil? Treatment is there anything to
kind OF i.

Speaker 8 (39:50):
Don't if it's, soil if it's a soil born root
rot or something like, that there's REALLY i doubt there's
really anything that's gonna be a.

Speaker 7 (39:59):
First there's a product that we've sold at The Garden,
center AND i think it's called garden.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
Fauce it's one.

Speaker 7 (40:04):
Of those things that's changed names over the over the.
Years but garden fauce and that's one that does treat soil,
diseases but it's not a it's not a. Guarantee that's
a very very difficult one to you, know root fight
top through root. Diseases once it gets in the soil
and in, plants that can be pretty that can be
pretty tough to get rid. Of but and the Garden

(40:26):
falls is one that you almost. Use this it's kind
of like a Drench you really have to use like
a high volume of water and and saturate the. Soil
i'm talking about like feet down to make sure that
you get.

Speaker 10 (40:39):
Everything and and what about if it's spider, mites is
there anything to turn these things? Around or once they're,
infected you've lost the.

Speaker 6 (40:49):
Tree it really it really depends on how far gone they. Are,
yeah you could spray.

Speaker 8 (40:55):
Them you literally just take this stuff and mix it
up in a in a sprayer and just spray them
top to bottom and it kills the spider. Mites this
time of, year we're getting a little bit closer to
the time of year two where it's trying to put
dormanole on your. Plants and, uh there's also some there's
also some uh some good infertilong systemic insect drench is

(41:15):
one you mix up in a in a bucket and
you pour it around the bottom of, them and it
feeds up into the plant and kills basically the bugs
from the inside. Out it's like basically like you've given
your your cat one of those or your dog one
of those little pills that keeps them from getting ticks and.
All it's the same, concept but it's with your. Plants, so,

(41:35):
uh that's another route to. Go but if they're if
they're that far, gone you're probably gonna have to use
a topical spray because they're they're going so, fast you,
know it's hard to do much with.

Speaker 10 (41:45):
It, okay all, right, well thank you.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
Guys, yes Sir, CHRIS i don't know how much we
helped you because we're just spitballing.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
Up. Yeah you.

Speaker 7 (41:54):
Know and once arbavids conifers in, general once they get
damage on, them they do not recover.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
Fast most of the.

Speaker 8 (42:02):
Time the damage, Too like by the time you see the,
damage they're actually way further.

Speaker 6 (42:06):
Gone than you think they.

Speaker 8 (42:07):
Are you, know they they can go through a spell
where you know they're really going south and you don't
really notice it until they start turning. Brown, well why
by the time they start turning, brown they're, gone you.
Know so you know they conifers are kind of tricky that.
Way they hold on to their folds a lot longer
before they just literally lose it or you, know start

(42:28):
turning brown and just crap out on. You that's WHY
i like call These, Chris, Well, Chris i'm sure we're

Cool you can go in there and do you know

Speaker 7 (47:03):
March, yeah don't be one of those one of those
guys that, thinks oh it's, WINTER i don't have to
do anything to my. Yard we're coming up into the winter.
MONTHS i can just take a. Break, yeah how it. Works,
well it's got.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
So dry now.

Speaker 8 (47:15):
Too there's so many leaves, falling so you're gonna have
to keep those things blowing off the.

Speaker 6 (47:19):
Yard you.

Speaker 8 (47:20):
Know down there In Shoal creek where we're working on,
Fields harty raking out there and it was, like, man
we may have to blow the leaves off this thing
so we can actually get a good hearty. Wrecking he, Goes,
man those hickories and all that stuff had just got
so dry out.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
There we had.

Speaker 7 (47:35):
To skip a couple of yards down in On crew twenty,
eight down Off Claremont avenue because the pine straw it's.
Falling one of my guys sent me a picture and he's, like,
hey you THINK i can treat this yard and it
looked like A i, mean you couldn't see a sprig
of green in there because there was so much pine
straw on. It AND i was, like, no we'll just
skip over. It we'll let the homeowner, Know, hey we try.
It we were gonna treat, it but you, know we

(47:56):
couldn't because there was so much pine. Straw and she
got up AND i went out there a couple of days.
Later but pine straws, fallen leaves, falling don't let that
stuff just lay on the yard and don't maulch it
into the.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
Ground you, know there are a lot.

Speaker 7 (48:10):
Of people THAT i see that will take their mowers
and take the bags, off or you can malt your.

Speaker 5 (48:16):
Grass that's not a big.

Speaker 7 (48:17):
Deal but when it comes to like leaves and sticks
and acorns and hickory nuts and stuff like, THAT i
see people that will just run their mowers over it
and melt it, up and it will create just this
organic layer of debris in the grass to where the
new growth can't come up in the. Spring so when

(48:39):
you have, leaves blow them off the, yard get don't
moult them into their you, know little leaf mults in
in like a vegetable garden or something like. That it
isn't that, bad but we're talking about a little. Bit
you don't want to put a lot in, there but
you really just want to get the leaves and hickory
nuts and sticks and stuff like that off the.

Speaker 8 (48:54):
Yard all that leaf mulch in your. Garden, know you're
mixing it with the, soil so it's gonna break down.
Faster but on top of the, grass it doesn't break
down near fast, enough so it just builds up and
like you, said christ just gets so gets where it
just is suffocating that grass. Out so you got to
get that stuff up off the. Yard not to, mention

(49:15):
hickory nuts have toxins in. Them it's called jugling or,
whatever and that stuff can kill your, Grass so you
don't want to leave hickory nuts on the. Yard, really
it's it's tough to grow grass around the hickory.

Speaker 6 (49:28):
TREE i mean.

Speaker 8 (49:29):
It's because of the toxins and all in the nuts.
Itself so you, know it's one of those. Things make
sure you get that stuff up and it's time to
put your pre merging. Out get that, done get in
the garden, center get your, moms get your, pansies all that.
Stuff we'll, have you, know more shipments and pansies coming,
in you, know just over the next.
