Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a very pleasant good morning, or maybe good afternoon,
good evening. Maybe it's the middle of the night. And
if you're listening to a pre recorded show, we are
back on the air, back on Facebook live, back on
BIS Talk Radio. I'm Brian Maine, John Bagnasco, Tuget Pella Fox.
Welcome to guard in America one and all. We do
appreciate you being right there. I hope you had a
good week. We're heading into the weekend and here in
San Diego. To my left is Tiger and I can

(00:22):
see out of my peripheral vision he's cracking up.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
He's laughing.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I did you know what the camera on, John, Because
he's leaning back in his chair so nonchal just talking
on his phone. I can see it's super funny. Sorry, John,
I just outed you.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
That's fine. I can't bring up the show.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
All right, But anyway, we are back at that.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Okay, he's ready to go.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
You know, I love it when when when you and
technology agree. It makes you so happy when you conquer something.
But briefly before the show, we talked about John was talking.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I mentioned some people from the American Rose Society were
over on Monday and we were walking out looking at
the roses and after a while they were so cold
we had to go into the library.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Somebody from Wisconsin was Yes, she was freezing.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Okay, remember last week when I talked about sometimes forty
degrees seems a lot colder than maybe twenty degrees, kind
of the same thing. She's from Wisconsin with snows, right,
yet whatever it was at your place forty five to
fifty whatever, and she's freezing.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, usually people from back East will come to California
in the winter and they're wearing shorts in t shirts
because it's California.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Is supposed to be worn. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
But you know, we went from that cold weather to
one hundred and before the show, Tiger was talking about
how bad it is for plants.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
You know, they get sunburned, it because one extreme to
the other. Yeah, and you you mentioned the same thing.
Your analogy is, you know, a person staying inside all
winter and then the first sunny day they go outside,
no sunscreen, and of course they're going to burn. Yeah
that are you? Are you good, Tiger, because I see
you plugging things in and yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
We add some audio issues for a second, but I
think the result of them. Okay, well, well I'm sure,
we'll hear about it, or.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
The people on Facebook are the first ones. Hey, I
can't hear you. Where did the video go? Why is Tiger?
Why does he look like that? Well, he's always looked
like that. It's not your video. Don't be judging. So
we are back. It's good to be in with you, guys.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's a first official day of gardening for pretty much
the whole country.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Mothers stay weekend too, exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
That's you're low. Are your levels low?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
You're low?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I'm looking at this is fun. I love it. When
it's live. You can't hide behind anything.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
There you go, Mother's Day weekend. Everybody should be gardening.
I think most of the country has great weather to
actually be gardening like they should, except ours is what
we call extreme.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
He You know, well, I've told you that back eas
Mother's Day kind of signals it's okay to plant your
frost tender annual vegetables.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Which is funny because we're already done with tomatoes and
they're just oh they're just getting startled. Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And by done, you mean they've all been planning, they've
all been planted.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
They they're in the ground, you know, speaking that we're
thinking summer vegetables.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Speaking of Mother's Day, because you said it's time to plant.
How about just a happy Mother's Day to the mother's
out there there you go, and all the appreciation that
we have because face it, without mothers, we wouldn't be here,
that we wouldn't have a show. So thank thank you.
I do appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yes, it's wonderful job out there.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, right, a great job.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Had a boy, good work.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
What do you.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
The garden walk is happening right now now ten am
at Mission Hills Nursery. Always Mother's Day weekend, so i'man
to head there after the show. Check that out. See
hi to everybody.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
You just walk.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
You stay at the nursery as they're getting ready to
do the walk. You don't walk, No.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I don't. I don't walk with them.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's not a meet and greet, or it is kind
of meet and greet. Yeah, and then you send them
on their way.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Exactly enjoy yourself out there. Take a look at these gardens.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Haven't we done a couple shows from the nursery on
garden walk.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
To you know what? We Actually the last time I
think we did a show was in June.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
At the nursery at the nursery.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
It was in June at the nursery right a year ago,
and it was cold, maybe two years ago, but it
was cold. There was that whole June gloom. Yeah, it was.
It was cold. You know. It's funny that you said
in June. I remember an old Orson Wells tirade. It's
an old radio show he was doing in England, and uh,
he was reading copy and then he would stop every

(04:59):
now and then and wrote this who anyway. One of
the lines was you know something something happened in June,
and he stopped and said, in June. Tell me how
it's possible to be in June, and this poor engineer, well,
mister wells, uh, you know we wrote the copy. It
shouldn't be in June. And he went on this whole time. Rade.
So I don't know what the point was something grammatically

(05:21):
in June.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
It's just I think he.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Said during June, during sud be during June, not in June.
We're not in it. It's during it's happening. That's my
best Doorston Welles.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well done, don't have a terrible So if you're going
to be in Spring Valley, well I don't know if
you're going to be in Spring Valley, but if you are,
Veronica invited you over to plan her tomatoes because they're
still in pots, so she's not done.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Get to work. Yeah, got to get those either in
the pots or in the ground.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Hey, Joyce wants to know why we can't buy mosquito
bits in California. She said she tried to order it
from Summit and they said, can't ship to her area.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
You know what, I think we know some people at Summit.
Maybe we should give them a ring.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, there's nothing in the product. I mean, it's it's harmless,
you know what. Though, it goes back to California. We
were talking about packaging.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Sometimes there's claims on package and then they make them
pull the package.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Or you haven't paid exactly, which is uh uh. The
the California e PA is different than the federal EPA,
and they use it as fundraising, to be honest, and
so everybody's got to pay extra for a California registration.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
So no, I don't know why mosquito bits would be
versus mosquito dunks not available. I mean, so well, we
will try to find out for you.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I'm just looking around to make sure we're on video
good audio. I just text the data and we gold
out of we sound. Yeah, She's like, I don't know.
I'm not watching you because our engineers are always off site.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
She's she's a she's she's I'm about to breakfast with
the girls right now.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Why are you bothering me? Yeah? Okay, we should be
talking about the show. What do we have in store
for people today? Tiger?

Speaker 3 (07:15):
So we have Corey Hansen from Fox Farms going to
go join us this morning. Talk about fertilizers, talk about soils,
talk about the difference between dry fertilizer and liquid fertilizer,
When to use a particular one maybe, so you know,
it's that perfect time because you know, they say you
should fertilize after frost, after it's cold, start fertilizing things.

(07:38):
So now is the time of year when we start
fertilizing our gardens and keeping up with that. So we're
gonna have Corey from Fox Farms joining us this morning.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
There you go. So Facebook life that means questions comments
it is warming up? Who's still cold? Any states still
experiencing any cold?

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Asa?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yes, Well that's like saying any states experiencing warm Weather, Hawaii. Yeah,
you know.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Relevant.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Carla says that she liked the quote of the week,
Oh yeah, which was Proverbs, Proverbs thirty one twenty eight
and the quote was her children rise up and call
her blessed. Her husband also and he praises her in
honor of Mother's Day.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
There you go, big honor of Mother's Day. A couple
of minutes to the first break, and then we'll get
Corey on board here, barring any technical issues problems.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
I've never I don't know, not very good Catholic, but
Tassia participated in her school of May crowning. It's for
the blessed mother, a crowning. I think like they like
they put a wreath a crown on her head, and
I was like, I've never heard that before, but it
was interesting, you know, honor the mother.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Way to go to preface that statement. I got a
good Catholic, however, you know, well good for good for her,
and yeah, all the people surrounding the situation. So uh,
let's see here, what.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I got something big coming up Monday, Tiger's character Wait
till Monday, Tiger's coming over.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, yeah, you're actually gonna we're gonna make a rose
garden at John's house.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
That was part of your schedule on your phone, wasn't it.
It was You're gonna make a rose garden.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yep, yeah, he promised.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Hopefully he has some roses.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
John beat me to that. Now. Is it any theme
to this, like particular roses?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Just everything in the ground you doesn't know what to
do with.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
No, we finally are gonna start the overall landscaping, putting
things in the ground. So this is excuse me, phase one,
then phase two. Uh, Shannon wants a lawn in the
back and Tiger will do that in face you know
what I'm all for.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Lawns.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Lines are very relaxing, very screen is soothing.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
We have lines all throughout the property. To go ahead, Tiger,
which kind of grass did you want?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I think of fescue?

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Would you ever just do the dwarf fescue and then
just never mow it?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
You know you're talking about the triple dwarf. Yes, I've
had that before and it is so weak that Yeah,
it doesn't do well. Yes, it's been my experience. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well I hope we do well during this break double
double Dwarf.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't have a problem list.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
We're going to take a break for our friends on
biz Talk Radio because they play all the commercials, the
sponsors like Fertilom, who take care of us, who make
sure that we're on the air every week. So we're
gonna do that. We're gonna get Corey online. Come back
with Corey. It is Garden America taking a break here
for biz Talk Radio Facebook Live. This is Garden America.
Please stay with us because a lot more ahead of us,
and ahead of you too for that matter. Well, okay,

(10:53):
here we are. We are back live. We've been live
all morning. Actually it is Garden America. And in case you're
just joining us, I'm Brian Maine, John Bagnasco Taging Powl
of Fox. We've got Corey standing by Tiger. So we
muddled through the first segment with the yaudio and some
of the video. You're still punching buttons. Let's see if
we can actually pull this off in the year twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I just want to punch buttons so I can look important.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
You're an important guy.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Come on this morning. We have Corey Hanson joining us
from Fox Farm, Soil and Fertilizers. Corey, good morning, Thanks
for being.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
A part of the show morning.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, So, Corey, tell us a little bit about your
role with Fox Farm and what Fox Farm is to
start off.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Uh, yeah, So Fox Farm started out in Humboldt County,
California in the eighties by Willie who is still our CEO.
I've been with Fox Farm for about five years now.
I am the Southwest rep, so I'm down in San Diego.
And yeah, Fox Farms dedicated producing finest soil mixes, fertilizers,

(11:55):
microbrewed liquid plant foods for the garden. And we do
crede ourselves on ourality and consistency and our customer service.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
And so you know, we've talked about your your product
here on our show for quite some time now. John's
always been a big, big advocate for the Ocean Forest
and the Happy Frog soil mediums.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Literally thousands of bags I've purchased.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Literally literally No, we love it. I love it.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, you know, so, you know I think that was
was that kind of a one of the initial products
that Fox Farm released or did they do other products
before they did? Potting soils and soil lies.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
So that is one of one of the original potting soils.
We also have an original planting mix, but Ocean Forest
is definitely one of the original recipes. And there's a
little difference between that and the Happy Frog potting soil.
That's actually a question I get asked quite a bit

(12:59):
if you would like me to kind of tell a
little difference between the two.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Please do yeah, other than price.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
So, yeah, the Ocean Forest that one is because it
is an older recipe. That one doesn't contain the microariza,
which Happy Frog does have the humoic acid microizon beneficials.
But Ocean Forest has a really awesome blend, great nutrient package,
a lot more nitrogen, that's got the fish and multon,
it's got cab meal, shrimp meal help, so that one's

(13:28):
going to have a larger nutrient package. And I personally
actually I mix them together sometimes at home when I'm
planting things.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Makes it a little bit more cost effective for sure.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's the world.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, So speaking of ocean Forests in the sense of
you know what you said the ingredients, Fox Farms uses
a lot of ocean based fish based products for their fertilizers, right,
and that's different from some other brands.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
I Yeah, I can't speak too much for all the
other brands that definitely for Fox Farm, we are about
the quality of ingredients. Are are dry fertilizers are dish based.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
But I mean what I'm what I was meaning at
is like you know, maybe some are more manure based
or or you know, other other products besides the fish based, right.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, so yeah, we stay away from that and in
the Happy Frog.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Dry Okay, So one of the questions I have for
you this morning, Corey, is liquid versus dry fertilizers. You know,
you guys have both a great selection of both. First off,
just tell us a little bit about what would be
the biggest difference besides one is liquid and one being

(14:43):
dry fertilizers.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Uh yeah, So we do have our liquid lines and
we have our like I said, our Happy Frog dry fertilizers.
There's also you know, solubles which are technically dry, but
those are gonna you know, to water soluble. So I'll
more so talk about the different spin or liquids than
are the Happy Frog dry fertilizer. A couple of differences
would be like the application, frequency of use, and potency.

(15:12):
So with your liquid fertilizers, you know you're going to
be mixing them in with water and then applying it
to the soil of the plant or possibly doing a
foliar spray, whereas the dry fertilizer you're going to sprinkle
it onto the soil and scratch it into the surface
and then water it in. So then the frequency it's
going to be the liquids you're going to be using

(15:33):
more frequently, so probably at least a couple of times
a week feeding your plants, whereas the dry is going
to kind of stay in the soil and work with
the soil and you only have to apply that generally
once a month right around there. And then potency wise,
the liquids are generally more potent because they are designed

(15:53):
for immediate nutrient uptake for the plant, So you're you're
directly feeding the plant, whereas the dry they're going to
be working in with the soil breaking down and then
the plant can take in nutrients as needed.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Oh okay, so why you know what I mean? You
kind of did a great job of explaining the two
and but why would the liquid be like a more
frequent Is it just because like you say, you mix
it with water and she kind of goes through the
plant and.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
Water it's gonna you know, beach it out where the
dry is going to stay and work in with the soil.
So the liquid you're gonna you're gonna be you know,
more consistently feeding the plant to give it what it
needs directly to the plant, whereas the other one's gonna
be there available to it as you water.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
What would be a key reason why one person would
choose yeah, one over the other, meaning like oh like like,
I mean you kind of laid it out in the
sense of liquids more immediate, maybe more responsive. But is
there other reasons why somebody would use a liquid versus
a rye dry?

Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah, I mean generally, I think some of it comes
on the personal preference and your gardening style. You know,
are there people that want to be out mixing their
liquids a couple of times a week, really being involved
with all that of their plant, or you want to
just be you know, hit it once a month and
it's all happy and ready to go. We even have
a time release dry fertilizer that you only have to

(17:18):
apply to maybe three times in the year wow, throughout
your season. So some of those kind of depend on,
you know, how often you want to be doing that
and once you're doing. Some of it will depend on
the plants feeding schedule. So if you want to have
a specific feeding schedule, I would say, like if you
have your liquids, we have our what we call our

(17:40):
base trio, So there's Fox Farms Big Bloom and then
Grow Big and then Tiger Bloom and as a trio
Big Bloom you can use all the time from a
you know, a little feed line to a mature plant.
That one's a lot of earthworm castings back guanto and
that one is an organic liquid. And then you have

(18:01):
your Grow Big, which is a liquid nitrogen. So that's
when you're targeting that nice lush, thick vegetative growth. So
that's what when the plants in that stage, you know
what you're giving it is the nitrogen getting that lush growth.
And then Tiger Bloom would be your liquid phosphorus. So
that's for your blooms and fruits. So using a liquid

(18:24):
it can be a little more control over the nutrients
and make nice little cocktails for your plants during what
stages they're in. Whereas the dry so we have our
Happy Frog dry line, so whatever you're growing, we have
a specialty blend. So if you're doing, you know, citrus avocado.
We have a citrus avocado mix. We have a tomato

(18:46):
vegetable mix, we have a fruit and flour mix, and
acid levers. So those ones, like I said, will work
into the soil and just create an optimal condition for
that plant to be a bacon.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Nutrients perfect hate coy and at that. We are going
to take a break right now. When we get back,
we'll continue chatting with Corey Hansom from Fox Farm Soil
and Fertilizers about what to use, how to use, and
when to use it.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
And why would you use it and all those things.
All right, we all got to take a break a
BIS Talk Radio questions comments right there on Facebook. I'm
probably in Maine. Tiger Pellafox got your own blend, I
guess according to Corey, right, Tiger Bloom and then John's
got big Bloom. Well we turn after these messages BIS
Talk Radio, Garden America. All right back here with your friends,
your garden buddies on Garden America. As we continue, Glad

(19:33):
you're joining us. Learning a lot about the different fertilizers,
different products that Corey offers, and again it's always an
education for us as well. Tiger.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yes, Corey before the break was kind of saying when
to use or why you would want to use maybe
the difference between a liquid and fertilizer, and and I think.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
We were talking about when not to use it.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, yeah, which which John has an excellent story regarding this.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Cory.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
So John, tell tell us your situation with the growth
Big product.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well, we used to ship tomato starts around the country
and we were shipping on a Monday. This was Friday,
and before I went home, I saw these tomatoes are
just too small. Yeah, so I put some grow big
on them, thinking, you know, by Monday, they'll they should

(20:21):
be perfect. Well, Tiger and I came in Monday in
the plants were double the size.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Of the box over a weekend.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Over a weekend, there was just no I mean, obviously
I probably put on two, but it was unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Well, but the big problem was is that they have
to fit into this clamshell that we shipped them, and
so now we couldn't fit them in the clamshell to
ship them, so they were too big for us.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Though sometimes I guess.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, exactly, But I think also, Cory, you know when
you were talking about you know, the difference in users
of the liquid versus the dry. I'm a I'm a
reactive fertilizer person.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Exactly what does that mean?

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Which means that I look at the yard, I'm like, ooh,
I should probably I should probably put some fertilizer. Like,
I'm not like on a schedule. I don't go out
there the first of the month and like drop down
my fertilizers and things like that. I like, I'm like
looking at the plants, I'm like, ooh, they should probably
have some food.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
And so for the liquid, how was not raising your kids?

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, same way, the same way, And so for the
liquid verus dry, Like, I feel like the dry is
very good for people that you know, just want to
put that fertilizer down on a regular basis. They get
on a schedule. It's always there, like you're saying, for
the plant. Me, the liquid is always on my shelf
because there's always that plant that needs fertilizer right then

(21:48):
and there. And it gives me that ability to do that,
you know, which is which is nice. And I see
results right away, like John saying, with the grow Big
you can see results in a matter of days, which
is pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yeah, definitely. And that's actually another good point for using liquids.
If you do notice a deficiency in a plant, you know,
you'd want to go out and grab a liquid to
start correcting that right away. I've used to have a
lot of people to talk about starting to see you know,
maybe some blossom menraw on your tomato plants and grab

(22:22):
you know, we have a fox farm has an organic
cowmag you can apply it to it. But yeah, deficiencies
and things like that, you need the immediate results, then
I would go with a liquid.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
And this is going to be kind of a tough
question to answer, but I mean, you know, if somebody
is seeing an issue with a plant, you know, let's
just say nitrogen deficiency, it's very easy. The plants overall yellow,
you know, and you know you kind of know what
you need to do. What is a good general rule

(22:54):
in the sense of using something like you know, if
you're going to see it, if you're going to put
down liquid on your tomato that's kind of a yellow.
Should it be a couple of days you see results.
Should it be a week or two? You know? And
then for dry you know, what is a turnaround time
for that? Because that's Another question I think people have
is they like, you know, because sometimes they don't know

(23:17):
the problem, so they also don't know what to put on,
so they put things on there, but then they don't
see the plant change. So what you know, what do
you kind of tell people in that regard.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Well, yeah, that is a good question because with gardening,
as you know, I mean, there's so many variables of
plant size, depending on if you're talking about correcting like
a little houseplant versus maybe a you know, big mature
palm or something. But yeah, time wise, I would say

(23:47):
that you should start seeing some results within the you know,
within the week, within days of doing a liquid on
smaller stuff. Yeah, that's a good question though I would
almost have to say that we have a we do
have a great customer service to product specialist team on
our website people could reach out to if they have

(24:08):
very specific questions. But yeah, time wise, that's that is
a good question. But definitely the liquids are going to
be much faster than the drives will have to break
down first and then get up into the plant.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, because you know, John, you've you've addressed this before
with like, you know, chemicals within like plants like you know,
paesticides and things like that, where it's amazing actually how
quick plants absorb things and get it to like like
you're saying, like a like a tree, which has shocked
me because you know plants all you know, plants to people,
they always seem slow, like, oh, this takes years. This

(24:42):
takes you know, ten years or whatever it is to develop.
But like, but when it comes to absorbing something like
a fertilizer, like to get it from the roots to
the top of a tree is just a matter of
hours or days sometimes, right, John, you were saying.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Right, and excuse me, like Corey was saying, it depends
a lot, depends anyway on the plant you're putting it on. Yeah,
you know, like the tomatoes reacted quickly.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, so that you know it's it's plants move quicker,
especially with the liquids, then we even realize it, you know.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Sometimes, So hey, Corey, let me ask you this. Could
you could a plant, let's let's use the term O
D if you gave it both at the same time.
And I don't know why you would do that, but
if you gave it both liquid and the other, what
what would happen?

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Because we're gardeners and we want to know why.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Well, that's exactly right.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
The limit. Yeah, well, I mean definitely with the drys
you're much less likely to have any burn if you
if you did slightly overuse something with a with a
liquid concentrate. You do want to pay attention to the
rate on the back of the bottle because if you
overdo it on some of the concentrates and liquids, then

(25:52):
you can start to see you know, leaf burn or
you know, other issues arise. Like you said, oding the
plant just too much for it. So you just always
want to be you know, reading the back and applying
it as recommended.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know, John, I think we might have halfway answered
Carlo's question, right right, Carla from Okay, No.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Why does my voice sound like that? I don't. I
don't know what's going on in my years. It sounds
weird too.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
You're you're okay if you have to clear your throat. Yeah, anyway,
you know, I think it's all at the aage.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Well, there's nothing you can do about it except get younger.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
We can answer Carlo's question.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Oh yeah, yeah. Back to Carlo's question, Carla wanted to
know if dry fertilizers would not burn the roots of
new plants. And and again, uh, Corey, I think it
depends on the type, right if they are if they're
chemical fertilizers, they're going to be more likely to burn

(26:58):
the plants than if you have organic fertilizers that have
to break down. Is that correct?

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Yeah? Yeah, And that's why you know, talking about our
the Happy Frog dry line is all organic and there's
very little, you know, very little chance to burn things
with that one. So that's I mean, that's what I
used almost our whole line on stuff. I got my roses,
I've got my tomatoes and tomato vegetable fertilizers, so everything's

(27:28):
thriving and and I've never I don't have any any
burning any issues. Is all beautiful.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Hey, we have a we have another random question. I
don't even know if you have the answer to this, Corey,
but it is it is a fun maybe segue this
famous question. Yeah, how did how did they come up
with the name Fox Farm? That is a good question.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
I believe, actually I believe it was a name of
the road or out where where Willie was, But I
would actually have.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
You better find that out, Corey.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
One.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah, that's funny. Fox Farm.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
But it does sound like, you know, some road down
in the middle of nowhere, some land somebody purchased.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, exactly right out there, just where I live on
Fox Farm. But then, but then they really have really
neat names for all their products too. I mean Ocean Forest,
happy Fraud, Happy Fraud, you know, tiger.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Blue of our liquids. We have our Holy Mackerel fish fertilizer.
We have our help Me help You, which is, oh
my goodness.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
So they have a lot of fun with all of
the names on the products.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
You got to, Corey, you got to come up with
something with toad, you know, terrible Toad or something.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
You know, I'll toss it out there.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Sure we have what a minute before we got about
a minute before the next break.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Before the next break, And and I wanted to kind
of lead into the soils now because you know, Corey,
we were talking earlier in the week. You guys have
some new product blends that you're going to do. But
you know, we've been talking a lot about the fertilizers.
But you know, just to a lot of people, Fox
Farms has been soils, you know, the ocean for us,

(29:12):
Like we talked about the Happy frog. You know the
different blends and you guys have gone to great links
to make sure that you have blends for people, whether
it is containers or whether it is a planting mix,
to be able to improve it. And when we get
back from the break, I want to get into number one,
you know what products you guys have out there for

(29:35):
what situations? And then number two, you know what are
some new things that we can look forward to hitting
the market soon.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Okay, one more segment. If you're on a bistalk radio
listening on bis talk radio, next segment will be the
final one for hour one. We all got to come
back with Corey, more information and more questions, comments on
Facebook life as Guarded America continues back after these messages.
As we've said for so many decades, so many years
here on guard in America. Okay, ba from that great
that fantastic break, great break, Upe, you had a good one.

(30:04):
Lots of beads anyway, a little reference there. So again,
if you are Bistalk Radio listening to us on bistalk Radio,
this is the final segment. News will be coming up
top of the hour. We come back at six minutes
after Facebook Live. We just go right on through. So
we continue Tagger with Corey and more questions.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Hey Corey, before we get into the soils, we did
have a question come from one of our listeners named
Tanya and said, I recently found some water soluble fertilizer
in my shed that was many years old? Would this
strength be diminished because it is old? And I think
that's something that you would You and I had kind
of discussed earlier in the week too about you know,

(30:41):
when people buy these products, you know, is there a
timeframe they.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Need to use them?

Speaker 5 (30:47):
Well, for spocks farm products specifically, we generally have a
two to four year lifespan on those, you know a
lot of our products, but they do vary from product
to products. A general lifespan, I say two to four years.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
And and does that mean that like after two to
four years it's just maybe less effective maybe less effective.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
Yeah, it'll be it'll be less you know, it'll become
less and less potent. I would say, gotcha over that.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, And it's just because you know, I mean it's
you know, a product and it begins to diminish, you know,
in the reacting to.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Air and all that.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Right, Uh, you know why you why is it not
like you know wine where it ages better.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah. Can you imagine? Can you imagine?

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Like, oh man, I've got this bottle of grow big,
it can't use it for five years. It's been sitting
in my it's been sitting in my garden shed for
the past twenty five years. I think it's perfect.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Right now, old wine turns to vini.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
That's what I'm saying. You got to hit that right,
That perfect exactly.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, difference between aged in vinegar.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
But uh so so yeah, Corey. Potting potting and planting mixes.
First off, you guys do both where some are meant
for pots, some is meant for actually and mending. Right, yes,
so what are what are the products you guys have?

Speaker 5 (32:15):
So we talked about the Happy Frog potting soil on
the Ocean Forest potting soil. We also have one called
Strawberry Field, which is our fruiting and flowering soil. Helps
promote a little more blooms and fruits for whatever you're doing.
It's great for you know, berries and melons, bulbs. And

(32:36):
then we also have our Cocoa Loco which has cocoa
core in it and it helps retain moisture a little
bit better. For some of those hot areas. And that
one also contains you know, earthworm castings, batguana and our
custom blend of soil microbes, so all, you know, they're
all really great soils. They they can have their own purposes.

(32:59):
Like you know, if you're doing hanging baskets, you might
want something that's going to hold the water in a
little bit better than in a pot, so maybe use
the Coca loco for that. And then as far as
our planting mixes, we do have our original planting mix
so that's for you know, when you're installing some plants,
putting stuff into the ground, you want to amend the soil,

(33:20):
and our planting mixes, you know, earthworm castings, baguanos helps
amend the soil. And we also have a Happy Frog
soil conditioner, which I really love this product. It helps
the mend existing garden beds. So if you're you know,
using your raised beds and then you need to freshen
them up and get some more nutrients and stuff back

(33:43):
in there. Our Happy Frog soil conditioner contains a hemic
acid and the soil microbes, so it really freshens it
back up.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
And oh go ahead.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
You can also use that one, which I do. Like,
I have my rose wells with my roses in them,
and I like to wake them up and spring with
a nice layer of Happy Frog soil conditioner and just
lay like a you know, nice layer of that around
all those and water it in, oh.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Kind of like a molt or something just on top
of yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Kind of just helps wake everything up and get the
soil popping.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
And then we were talking earlier in this week that
you guys are going to also be releasing a new
product soon, right.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
Yeah, yeah, we are. Actually I'm very excited about this.
So we are releasing our Fox Farm Raised bed mix.
So it's going to be you know, specially blended for fruit, flowers, veggies, herbs.
It's ready for planting. You don't really have to add
anything to it except for down the road you want to,

(34:42):
you know, add your fertilizers. And it contains baguan over
from castings and helps retain moisture in the raised bed.
So it's going to be an awesome product. I'm excited
to use it myself.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
What would be some differences between a potting soil and
a a planting mix and then a raise bed mix.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
So I generally tell people like, you can technically mix
some potting soil if you're doing something in the ground
or you know, obviously containers, but you don't want to
do the other way around and use like a planting
mix in a pot. It's really more for a mending
the soil and and and just creating a nice you know,

(35:28):
home for the plant. But it's not ideal for a container.
So you know, usually the potting soils will have more
of like pur lighte and narration and just to have
everything it needs for a nice soil structure for a
plant living in a container. And then a raised bed
mix you know, this one. I haven't got to use

(35:53):
it yet, but I'm very excited. Some of them will
have pur light which will kind of sometimes it can
float to the top and blow away. So we're just
doing a little something different and and just having some
chunkier pieces in there that's not provide but of just
chunky your age fourst product.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Okay, cool? Yeah, And I mean raised beds are so
popular right now with people that are doing gardens, so
you know, having that blend for them ready to go
is going to be really important because you know, like
you say, a lot of people out there go oh,
you know, you know, do I put in potting soil?
Do I put in just planting mix? You know, got
to figure out what's going to work best for it.
So having having that package product and like you say,

(36:32):
you guys put some of the fertilizers in there.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
Right, Yeah, there's that going other earth and castings and
then I would you know, personally, I'm gonna grab some
of the happy Frog Mado vegetable and adds that down
the road, and I'm also going to do a nice
herb garden in it.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Nice nice tiger. Uh.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Tanya's son lives in Washington State and he needs some
of that raised bed mixed and she's wondering if he
could get Fox f Arm products in Washington.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Yeah, definitely. We actually do have a dealer locator on
our website. If you go to our website you can
find independent garden centers near you that here are product.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
That just foxfarm dot com.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yes, yes, foxfarm dot com.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Yeah, foxfarm dot com. Great way, great resource to go
for all that information. Corey, thank you very much for
joining us this weekend. Lots of great information. Like I
said before, foxfarm dot Com to be able to find
your products and look for them at most nurses.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Right, yeah yeah, check us out.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Beautiful.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
All right, Thanks Corey, have a great rest of the
weekend and talk to you again soon.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
Awesome, Thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Take care.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
That was great information and I like our descriptions of
the difference between liquid and drive.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
I think it cleared it up a lot of people.
You want to go right to the source. You want
to mainline it liquid because basically it has devil right away.
I think John said this, maybe I thought of that.
But we have to take a break for news on
BIS Talk Radio. Come back and we can we can
have some more fodder. How does that sound? All right?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Sounds good?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
All right, Garden America taking a break for news. BIS
Talk Radio back with Facebook life to stay with us. Okay,
we are back. If you're tuned in on bistalk Radio

of our show, you can go to YouTube this afternoon
and check out this show for hour one. If you
missed it on BIS Talk Radio. You know Google. Even
Alexa will play a Garden America podcast. Just ask Alexa

(38:43):

So there you go. You're all caught up. Do you
have any questions? John?

Speaker 2 (38:52):
You know that breaking news at the top of the hour.
It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
It was good news, great newscast, very good, very good.
It's good it we had that newscast.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
So I'm really excited about Tiger coming over, putting in
my rose beds, finally going to get plants in the ground.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Whatever you do, don't videotape any part of it. Don't.
I don't want any record of this. Don't show anything.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Said he wanted to do the radio show from my house.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Uh when, well, the week that he's gone, but we
can't do it.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
The week we'll do it.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Well, you and I will go up and we'll do it.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Will be under the mat.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah. Is anybody going to be there?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
When? When?

Speaker 1 (39:29):
What I mean is anybody like Shannon your son's anybody
going to be at your house or they all going
to be with you in Idaho.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
No, they'll be with me and Idaho.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
So your house is empty, Well, don't you don't you
need some water in law either? Okay, well we could
we then we can. She'll let us in Tiger to
do the show. That's easy. Or if she wasn't going
to be there, I'm happy to house it for you.
Dane has never been there.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Can We've invited you several times.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
No, we're ready for the next just doesn't to drive.
Here's what I'm thinking, Tom, What do you mean drive?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
You're my driver, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Like changing the trains.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
I don't like them. You know what. I don't like
getting held up with the fruit inspection. You know, I've
kind of gotten to know some of those guys. Anyway,
did we miss any questions that maybe we can answer?

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Dana says that we should do the show from your patio. Brian, Oh,
that yeah, because there's a lot of room out there.
Didn't we do it there one time?

Speaker 1 (40:28):
I think we did? You know, we we could actually
we could actually I think it was before. No, maybe
we didn't. Now we could do it and we'd be
surrounded by nothing but plants around us.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
The jumb what's wrong with that?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
There's nothing. The more I think about that we could halfway.
It wouldn't be as long for you to drive.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Hmmm.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Something to think about, maybe something to think about. Well,
they've got to fix the but we get a whole
California state support being balconies are dangerous and kind of
going on.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
I don't want something falling on my head.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
You know. When they get that fixed, that is when
I will approach you to do the tiling outside. I
can't do anything until they get rid of the beams.
Definitely don't want to do anything. Want something falling down.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Dana says, we'd be surrounded by plants and dove poop.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Ooh yummy. Well definitely, I got it. Man. These doves
have we've got four or five generations. What's that You
don't pot train them. We're working on it. But see,
here's the thing. When they're born, they don't leave. They
may go maybe one hundred yards away, but they all
come back.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
And that haying basket isn't big enough for multiple generations.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Well they're not using that, and they're actually using the
birdhouse we bought them. Oh nice, we hung that is cool.
They have a birdhouse. Here's the thing. We bought a
birdhouse for doves online a couple of two or three
years ago. It's like an apartment and I'm thinking they're
not going to use this. They've got to go back
to the basket. Nope, they've been using it.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
What's the birdhouse look like? It's just a little How
big is it? Is it a bigger than a mailbox?

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Now, it's actually small. I didn't think that they would
be comfortable in there, or she would be comfortable, but
they make it work. Maybe if I send this to you,
can you can post this on Oh here it is
right here? That that's it empty?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Oh wow, No that's not very big.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Do you want to put the camera on that? Sure?
So we must have I don't know if that's a
good representation. Is that showing up? So yeah, they can
see that.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Yeah, just a triangular.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
So so we see we see the you know, laying
the eggs.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Oh I was picturing a little hole.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah, birds to go in balcony. No, it's so we
got the whole. They got a little chimney fireplace in there.
We've we've really we've done it up really well.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
They have their subscription TV Amazon.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
But they actually they use it. But see all the
kids now that are teenagers and young adults, they still
hang around. And of course we have the fountains, so
they had a place to take a bath and drink water.
It's it's a whole thing.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
You know. It's funny is you have both were worlds.
Inside your home is cats out, fish and fish and fish,
and then outside you got these birds. Yeah, and fish too.
That's so right you have. It's almost like you've created
this predator prey situation.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Oh wait, one more, we have a cockatial in the
house as well. You do, yes, Oh my goodness, Riley,
it's a rescue. Did I tell you the story? A
couple of years ago, I get a phone call him
here at work from a friend of mine. I've known
them for years. She says, Hey, how you doing. I'm like, oh,
I haven't talked to you in a while. What's going on?

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Well?

Speaker 1 (43:42):
I know that you used to have birds, you know,
you had exotic birds back in the day. And friends
of ours found this bird up in Santa No fre
by the railroad tracks. It's a cockateal and he's been
with us for a week or so. We don't know
what to do with them. We don't know. Do you
want him? I said, sure, just didn't even ask. Dana
didn't even look at the bird.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
I see a I see a trend in how Brian acquires.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Things, even plants.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Right, I'm saying, like out by trash cans, down by
the railroad tracks.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Just so it got the bird over. We didn't know
if it was a male or female. I said, let's
call the bird Riley. That way, the name works once
we find out there's a female.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
My son just got a dog. He named it Wiley.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
No Riley.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Oh yeah, this dog is Wiley.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Like Wiley e coyote or wild coyotes.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Wiley because it was almost it was a puppy almost
killed by a coyote. Okay, perfect rescue did and so
they call him Wiley.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Perfect. Well, so this bird is is not a bird
for somebody who's looking for a cuddly be on my shoulder,
you know, Kissy, kissy. This bird is a female, is
in a constant state of wanting to see the manager.
That's the best way I could describe this bird's personality.
I mean, it's everything's on her terms and it's fine.

(45:03):
So anyway, it goes back to what you were talking.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
About, does the how does the bird get along with
the cats?

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yeah, the bird actually likes the cats. The cats are
way you know, first, the cats are like, what's this?
This belongs outside? Why did you bring a bird in?
This belongs in my mind now. It's just like, you know,
they're like whatever. They all sleep together in the same room.
They're like, you know, whatever do you? Yeah? What what
I when I leave the house and let the bird
out with the cats? Probably not?

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Could is the birds what do they call it? Clip
their wings?

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Yeah? We clip the wings and then and also on.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Your patio and it can just hang out on your patio,
could you?

Speaker 1 (45:42):
I mean with the wings clipped?

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Yeah, like it's not gonna fly away right?

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah? Probably? Yeah, we haven't, but yeah, we probably could.
I don't know how the other birds would react or
how she would react to the wild birds.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, you could clip the wings of the doves.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Isn't there a song called wing wings?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Find out what happens when doves cries?

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Isn't there there?

Speaker 3 (46:02):
You go thank their movie like we bought a zoo?
This is that after you?

Speaker 1 (46:07):
Yeah? Really? So? So you're right, the birds outside the fish,
the bird inside the cats. We just need a dog
rounded off.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Yeah. I don't know if I'd go that far for
you and stay away from a dog, cats, dogs and
birds in all in one house.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Danis Sishu was kidding about the poop part. No No,
you weren't. No, you weren't. You got the hose of
jet spray hose out there we have.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
They're not doves. They're the smaller ones. I think there
comes some kind of sparrow that make the little mud
mud nests.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
But they make those are finches. Finch?

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Is it a finch they make the mud now I
thought they were swallow swallow maybe anyway, the smaller birds
they make the mud nest up in our in our pool,
in this like cave area that we have. And it's
so frustrating because it's so messy, you know, with the
mud and the bird in there, and then all that
stuff just falls right into the pool right there.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
And who claims that you were the pool guy?

Speaker 3 (47:05):
I mean, we both do because it's just so messy.
You know, during the time of year that they're there
frequenting it. They're only there a certain time of year,
just like but years are there year round. They're there
all the.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Time, no, pretty much like i'd say, from February to
the end of summer, okay, and you know we can
walk outside now and they don't care. They don't, you know.
The only birds that get scared and fly away at
the small when the robins the finches, but the doves
are like, yeah, what can I help you? I'm like, hey,
just going to clean up around here, don't We're not
gonna get your way.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Yeah, just made service coming in.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Armstrong Garden Centers had a store and or has a
store in San Juan Capistrano. Oh yeah, and the swallows
return there every year.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Yeah, because in March, right is it March?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, Well normally they go to the mission, right, San
Juan Capistrano, And there's the famous song when the swallows
would return to Capistrano. All come back.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
They have to pray once a year.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Yeah, but they were they were doing earthquake restoration on
the mission mission and the swallow they were doing it
in the spring, so they were somewhere. They disturbed the
swallows and they went over to Armstrongs and then the
following year they came back tom Strong. So now they

(48:22):
I don't know if it's still going on, but they
were going there every year. Some were still going to
the mission. Yeah, it's just that it was crowded when
they were doing the restoration.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
It is break time once again. We can steer back
into plants, sure, gardening, but you know, nature. You know, birds, cats, dogs,
birds all part of nature. Right, it is a break
for Bistok Radio. Stay with us. I'm Brian Main, John Bagnascar,
Tiger Pello Fox here on Garden America. Yeah. Right, we
have returned from the break and we are back at it.
I guess we're caught up on the questions. A lot

(48:52):
of comments.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Were talking at have a chance to do a shout
out to.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Hastan, thank you always tunes in.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Yeah, what is it like? Probably early evening Pakistani listener.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Yeah, I hope you're recruiting other listeners and viewers for
us as Tom, people from the nursery, so on and
so forth.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Well, you know, I've looked at our demographics and we
actually have a really big following in in India and Pakistan.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Really yeah, what about Sri Lankas just south of you.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
We don't know about Sri Lanka.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
We can we can put our crack research team on
that salon right, Ceylon, Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
That's what it used to be called.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Are we going to get into that again? Istanbul Constantinople,
Miah mar.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
It's Istanbul, not Constantinople.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
That's what I'm saying. But the whole thing back and forth.
It used to be Constantinople. You know why, they're too
many vowels. That was, that was the hangout. That was
was just like we gotta change it.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
You know what why it was called Constantinople.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
It has to do with.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
The Holy Roman Empire.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Yeah, exactly. I was gonna say, yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Where Constantine moved to capital from Rome to Istanbul. But
then it was Constantinople.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Yeah, there was too much to manage the Romans. Fun
they gave up. It's just too much to manage and
take care of. And you know, when you're that big,
it's like a big company, corporation, very easy to steal money.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Oh my goodness, amazing how many Roman ruins are all
over the world, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Speaking when we were in France especially right.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Oh yeah, the aqueducts remember those they were still standing.
Was amazing because those were pretty tall, right, you're huge.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
Yeah, and yet they didn't use mortar. Right from what
I recalled that everything is is placed just perfectly. It's
like geometry, triggonometry, alergib whatever they used to do that
and like still standing no more, no more, That's what
I'm trying to say. Yeah, and those olive trees were
a thousand years old at least nine hundred I think

(51:07):
they said.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Lest Yeah, they were cool.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
It was cool when we were in England and we'd
go through some of the castles and properties there and
they'd be like, oh, you know that tree, you know
survived World War one, World War two, you know this war,
you know that.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
And all this other stuff.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
It's you know, the history. To think that that was
around all that time ago, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Well, we did a hike two years in a row
up with the same guide I think John in Italy,
and we got up toward the top and we looked
down on this church and she said, oh, yeah, this
church was built in twelve fifty twelve. I mean twelve
fifty You mean you mean like like twelve quarter after
twelve last year or fifty minutes after whatever the time.

(51:52):
But yeah, like twelve ten minutes to one.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
A lot of history in Europe, yeah, twelve as much
in the US.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Some ideas a couple more years will be right there.
I'll be doing on the Facebook questions.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Veronica says, it's going to go in another pot.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Okay, you're getting back to the original question.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Oh, let's see in her I guess we need her question.
She wants to know if there's any tips for her
New Mother's Day rose plant. And it's in a five
gallon pot. It's called State of Grace.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Do you know about state of Grace?

Speaker 2 (52:38):
I'm trying to think I have a rose called something
grace Grace. Kelly is a Princess Grace rose.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
How about Amazing Grace. Princess Demonica rose.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
Is going into another pot? There you go, happy happy Frog?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Yeah, exactly right.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Well, you know what I would personally recommend. I used
to only use ocean forest, but then happy Frog is
a larger bag and less expensive. But now Happy Frog
has got all those all those mac Rizie fungus in it,

(53:21):
all the beneficial fungus, and it's perfect just the way
it is because you don't have to mix it with anything.
And I have a tendency two over water, so the
soils of the perfect consistency.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Better drainage, Yeah, really good drainage.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Didn't he say he had one? Or was they had
something with quar and yeah, that would hold a little
more moisture. Coco coco, coc loco.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
That one holds moisture. So if you're in hot area
or you don't water very frequently. It's great.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
So now you you have a happy frog, don't you?
I do, because I remember the last time I went
an ocean forest and you brought me happy frog. Yeah,
and now I know why I like happy frog so much.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
Yeah, great soil, Carla wrote Tiger. I bought a lovely
yellow ulster area at Mission Hills. I kind of man
handled it and repotting it. Any suggestions on how to
revive it? Is it okay in a pot? Or should
it be in the ground? Probably won't bloom again until next.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
Wait, let's let's go back to I manhandled it, I know,
and now I needed to bring it back to life?
Or what Carla? What did you do?

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Well?

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Like I could see an ulstrom area. You know, if
you take it out of the pot, sometimes they can
kind of break apart a little bit, so, you know,
and they're very and they're very delicate, you know, in
the bracts of the of the plants.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
It depends how long they've been in the pot, though,
because you've got those thick, fleshy roots that pretty much
fill up the whole pot. I mean, you can do
almost any my experience, you can do almost anything to them.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Well, that's what I'm saying. They're very they're very tolerant.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
Like I say, they break apart, but like you just
throw it in the ground and then it also regrows.
I don't know though, about growing it in a pot.
What do you think, John, I think it's better.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
They kept them in pots for for up to two
years before I found a place to put them, huh,
in small pots where they If they put them in
a bigger pot, I'm sure they would have been fine.
But they filled up the small pots and they didn't
look good, and you would swear the plants dead. And
then you put it in the ground, got that big,

(55:32):
fleshy root system and they just come back. Yeah, And
I'll tell you they it seems to me like they
blew them on and off throughout the year. The only
thing that maybe stops the bloom is really hot weather.
By hot, I mean like one hundred degree weather. But
Karla being in Huntington Beach, I don't think she's going
to have that problem.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Yeah, And then I mean being in a pot though, too.
Isn't there the time of year where there's it's really nothing,
so you know, it's it looks like an empty pot,
which you know you might not want. So I don't
know what your goal is, Carla, whether it's you just
want to keep it in a pott. Definitely pretty much evergreen.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Yeah, what do they call that series? It's is it
the INCA series?

Speaker 3 (56:16):
I don't know, something like that, but yeah, so it's
just kind of a you know, like if you're just
doing what John does and just buys plants then takes
years to figure out what he's going to do with it.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Yeah, that's not a big deal.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
But how well they come back once they're.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
On the ground.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
In the ground, though, I think that they'll it'll do
much better and it'll be happier if you put it
in the ground.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
I think Carla's ground spaces at a previo. Yeah, is
it worth a few pots, but just put it in
a larger pot. It'll be fine. You know. Pat Welch
told me this.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
We've got a break coming up here. Do you want
to even know.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
If Pat Welch is still alive? Well, we discussed that. Yeah,
come back for the break and I'll tell you what
you talk about.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Pat Welch story. Yeah, after this break for biz Talk Radio,
it is Garden America two more segments coming up. Do
stay with us more to come. Okay, Beck here on
Garden America, I hope you had a good break. We
are eagerly awaiting the Pat Welch story, John, so let's
get back to it and more garden questions and more

(57:19):
garden comments.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Well, Pat, what was the book she wrote? Was it
Southern California Gardening or something like that?

Speaker 3 (57:25):
Something like that.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
And she also wrote a book, by the way, an
interesting read called All My Eden's and Pat Welsh's father
in law I believe was Frank Lloyd Wright?

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Really?

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Oh really, yeah?

Speaker 1 (57:42):
I bet that she had designs on him, huh.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
I also saw her on Antique Road Show, really, and
she had brought in a painting portrait that was kind
of a lot ar almost the size of her, and
they were discussing the portrait, the oil painting on Antiques

(58:07):
Rose Show, and they were talking about how it was
by the certain artists, but because it was a portrait
and they didn't know who the person was, or it
wasn't famous, it wasn't going to have the value that
another painting by this artist would have. And so she
looked like she was preparing to, you know, for the

(58:30):
fact that it might be worth you know, five hundred
dollars something like that, and they said, so because of that,
the value is only going to be three hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
I thought she was going to faint because they couldn't
identify who the painting was because, yeah, the subject.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
They said, portraits usually don't bring as much as you know,
landscape paintings or paintings of something else. But I think
she was pleased anyway. Back to what she told me
on ulsterme area. She said, you know when the ulsterroame
area are done blooming, they go to seed right tiger. Yeah,

(59:10):
if you grab that stem and pull it straight up
right from the ground, pull it out of the ground,
it'll red bloom.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
So you know, they don't trim them. They they say, don't.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
Cut it because then it doesn't do that. Yeah, because
a lot of people who use ulstromeris for you know,
floral arrangements, and they go in there and they cut
all the flowers like they're dead heading, you know, or
they're trimming for the But then they say, don't do
that because it'll actually encourage them.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
So Carlos plant should rebloom.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
Oh for sure. Yeah, yeah, and like you said, most aris, they're.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Tough and they bloom for a long time when they bloom.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
I think that Inca series especially was really good because
it was midway between the Princess series, which were the
little dwarfs and the tall floral ones, which are kind
of floppy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Such pretty flower colors and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
A great cut flower. They just last forever as a
cut flower.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
You know what's interesting about years ago? Bruce had a
trivial question, a trivia question, and I think you're supposed
to guess the plan he was talking about. Huh, And
I want to say that he said something like, I'll
still marry you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
That sounds like something Bruce would.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Right to get the answer to the Maria I'll still
marry you. Anyway, it's weird what sticks in your mind?
That had to be fifteen years ago. How are we doing?

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
I was wondering, what, you know, Sometimes they don't pay
attention during the show, and in my mind, it's not
that I don't pay attention. I'm just thinking of other things.
What you guys are talking. So, Carlo says, I knew
you'd pick up on that. Brian, I'm not sure what
she's talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Because I I think just little words, keywords, you know,
or setting up a story, like because it's like she
glossed over it. Yeah, you know, because I man handled it,
not because well I get out of the car and
you know, I man, we'll go back to the manhandled.
Give me some details. What do you mean by that?
You know, I just kind of glossed over it, so
she knew I would pick up on that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
It's like the character in Seinfeldt that woman man hands.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Oh, man hands, Yeah, cracking the breaking apart the lobsteria.
Oh yeah, it would be funny.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Yeah. Rochelle also mentioned they make great cutch flowers. Yeah,
probably one of the best cut flowers out there. Right,
Usually if you have a.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Bouquet that has anything in it, like.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
The Last to Die?

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Yeah, what would you what would you get for Dana
in a floral arrangement?

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Brian?

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Is she a rose? Carnation? Sunflower?

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Okay, here we go again with my carnation? Where do
you even get a carnation anymore? Flories really them? I
just I just they don't seem to be as popular
as they used to be.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
Yeah, but I'm saying but is because Dana is listening
and you don't know this answer.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
No, roses with a sprinkled in with other arrangements of flowers.
You know, the roses would be the main.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
Course she likes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Yeah. Absolutely, What about you, John? Would it be? What
would think for Shannon? Would be? Would be?

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
Say it for him? I want to see if what he.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
Says he knows right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
And I just think I made a mistake because I
always try to get things ahead of time. Yeah. Yeah,
So I found this great hydrangea that I thought she
would really like and it was growing in a decorative pot.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Okay, so I bought it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
And you know, because she works, she doesn't tour the property,
so I.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Know, what if I just put it here, she'll never
see it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I tour the pro I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
So I put it in back of the house and
I figured she won't see it, and I'll just bring
it out on Mothers y. Yeah, you know, I've got
the cart and everything, and you know, we had that
high nineties temperature yesterday and the I watered the plants,
so the plant was still fine, but the flowers were
a little burned. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Was it in direct sunlight?

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
No, it was under the shade of a eucalyptus tree.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
But the issue that's a book.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
But the issue with those hydranges right now is that
a lot of them are so are grown in such
a controlled environment that you do take them even if
you just take them outside sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
And this was being sold indoors. Yeah, forest plant.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Mine is under the eve of the stairs outside the
front door, and it's doing very well. Yeah, very Oh
remember the high rangers we saw in Costa Rica. Yeah,
they weren't doing all that well. They were cooked, they
were in kind of in direct sunlight in some of
the places.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
Yeah, it's funny because it was a very common plant, right,
Like they weren't that they weren't that great. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Well, here's an f y I for you, Brian from Veronica.
Carnations are everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
Yeah, I just have to look.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
I put that, put that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Let me ask you this, then, where can I get
carnation ice cream?

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Fro oh, I haven't seen that for a long.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Time, right, And there used to be a place on
University Avenue. It was a carnation ice cream parlor. And
you could also like get hamburgers and you know fast
foods back in the day.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
You never lived in Detroit or Michigan.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
But no, but I drove through there a few times.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Have you ever heard of sweat Stros Beer?

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Yes, Stros Beer absolutely. I think they used to sponsor
baseball they did.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
Yeah, yeah, Tigers. They also had an ice cream, Stros
ice Cream that I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
It was a beer ice cream.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
No, it wasn't beer ice cream. It was like carnation
ice cream. Yeah, Stro's ice cream A long time ago.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Yeah, Detroit Tigers.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Speaking of the Detroit Tigers, why are they so good
this year? I don't know. They have the same record
as the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Name a player on the Detroit Tigers. Oh god, see
that goes along with why are they so good? Money?
You know, here's the thing about that elkline. What is this?
Nineteen fifty Vicky Cochrane, Danny Belane hell New How did
did Harmon killerbrew pray for the He was Minneso Minnesota?

(01:05:43):
He was Minnesota Twins.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Willie Harton didn't Frank Coward Norm Cash. Frank Howard was
Washington Center.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Yeah, and he could hit.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
It's a big guy. He used to be a coach
for the Padres. Yeah, back in the day, third gay,
third base coach.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
But getting back to that, you know, it's funny baseball,
like a team will come from nowhere. Guys are just
having a good year. You have to be good to
make make it to the big leagues. You just need
a full roster of doing the guys doing well right right,
and you have to have you know, the bottom of
your lineup have to be pretty good too. Yeah, but yeah,
Detroit out of nowhere, right, aren't the Orioles pretty good

(01:06:20):
this year?

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
I haven't. I haven't looked at the Orioles. By the way,
Veronica says, you can get carnation ice cream at Thrifties,
really good ice cream. Yeah. I was just gonna say
it's thrifty still.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
And when we used to walk home from junior high school,
you can get a single, double or triple scoo perfect sin. Yes,
square cylinder was yeah, it was not a square.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
You can't make a square scoop.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Hey, they have square watermelon, they do.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Rochelle asked if I remembered better made potato chips in Detroit,
and I do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
They also had new Era potato chips that you would
buy in a tin can.

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
Oh fun and.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
They as a kid, they were my favorite because they
had a logo and its set on the alkaline side,
and as a kid, I thought it set on the
alkaline side.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
I was just going to say that, right, so I.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Always wanted my mom to buy new Era potato chips.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
And with that note, that's the end of the sports
segment here on in America. We've got one more segment
coming up before we say goodbye. I do stay with
us on BizTalk Radio, Facebook Live. This is Garden America. Okay,
we have made it. This is it final segment. If
you're watching us listening to us live on Saturday morning,
could be anytime though, because the show is pre recorded
and of course this afternoon posted on our YouTube channel,

(01:07:46):
Garden America Radio Show. So that's how we do it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Rochelle says, the thrifties now right eight.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
So you know what she's right, Yes, became right Aid.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
So if you go to right Aid maybe and get
Carnation ice cream.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
There you go say, we just just can connect all
the dots.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Toss it out there and people will tell you somebody
always has the answer to something.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Well, is anything coming into season because we're going out
of We're done with winter annuals right and in winter veggies,
and I think we're finishing up with summer veggies.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
Right, Yeah, I mean it's you know, we're at that
weird time where people are really thinking. You know, for us,
people are like, oh, this is spring, because I think
a lot of that whole publicity and marketing goes out
right now for spring. In reality, for us in southern California,
spring is in March. But you know, so so a
lot of people come in and they're you know, looking

(01:08:42):
for the tomatoes, looking for the vegetables, looking for the platunias,
And like you say, John, I think we're actually wrapping
up all that stuff. We really only have about four
or maybe five weeks left of that before we get
into our summer summer stuff. Anyways, but I will say
this year, the petunia, they've switched over from the classic

(01:09:03):
annual platunia to more of that wave petunia style. So
they have a lot of different varieties of petunia fly,
which is really neat and they look pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Do you guys carry crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Yeah, yeah, like the one. Yeah. So it's that I
think petunias have.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
Have really hit the market strong recent in the past
few years because of these changes they made. It's not
the classic like annual platunia, big bloom, you know, just
that's what they are. You know, they're they're longer blooming, you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
Know, they're substantial plants. Yes, you know, the other stronger, right,
the others were kind of flimsy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Yeah, so a lot of really neat you know, the
blotchy ones. You know, we we will see if that
glow in the dark one ever hits really like the market,
you know kind of a thing. But there's all kinds
of of really neat stuff out there still in the
petunia world, but we are switching over to more of

(01:10:01):
the summer plants, so the vinca you know, the new
guinea patients and things like.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
One of our listeners had ordered one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
Well, I wonder how it worked out.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Yeah, yeah, because that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Would be I can't remember who might have been.

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
Who he was, I can't remember who, but that would
be fun to have, I mean, just novelty, kind of unique.
I don't know how many, you know, how how it
would grow or how long it would last. Be kind
of cool. I would take really good care of that though,
because I want to. I'd like to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Try to make sure I use him to replace the
solar lights along your driveway.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Oh there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
It's a petunia border.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
How cool would that be? I have a whole driveway
lined with those, and then people drive up and there's
just all these glowing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
If you put a black light over it, would they
still glow?

Speaker 3 (01:10:54):
I think so, because isn't that kind of like what's
in there that makes it glow? Is that inforescence kind
of an oxymoron?

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
An oxymoron is somebody who drops out of Oxford University.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
I was thinking of bright black light, black light.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Yeah, we had black dark light. We had black lights
and black light posters back in the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
I met a guy from Stanford one time who was
trying to make light heavy heavier and I and I
was joking around with him at lunch and I just said, well,
I said, if you made it heavier, wouldn't really be
light anymore. He didn't. He didn't think it was funny.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
That was see because those guys, yeah, just you know.
I bet he had a messy desk.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
I don't know. It was neuro neurophysicist. Remember the story
I told you? Do you remember his name?

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
He fiddled right well burned. No, it's a thing on
neuro go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
His name was uh On beg Nascar.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
Yeah, I remember you guys met each other. Yeah, yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
Didn't think it was funny, huh.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
I thought it was hilarious. I wonder that's the difference
between a horticulturist and.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
But the joke you made was in his ballpark. It
was like, it's what you do. That's a great it's
a great joke.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
At the time, I thought the same thing was Lisa,
She's going to take a picture when they were when
they're in bloom She said she just potted them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
What though the.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
Yeah, she said they she got three plants and two
and a half insa.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
They haven't bloomed yet.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
No, no, she just got them.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, that is going to be something we'll
have to high. We'll do a whole newsletter around you, Lisa,
if you get some good pictures of that, see how
they go.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
Well, you know, we're on the show every week, so
all these things flow together to us, but some people
never Yeah, I have missed a few shows. Yeah, so
Linda and reading also wants enough you can explain the
glow on the Dark Petunia.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We talked about it a few
months ago and what it was with some breeders introduced
the the same what is it the in plankton in the.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
Y, Yeah, from from plankton. We can't even think of
the fluorescent in glow right, incandescent? Is that?

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
No, that's a light bulb, right, what it's it's what
happens at the beach at night.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
Well, yeah, I know, yeah, when you can.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
The water phosphorescence, that's what it is. They they took
the same phosph reds phosphorescence from the gene, the gene
and the yeah. And the petunia is a white flower, right,
and and it kind of from the pictures I saw
the foliage was a little bit lime greeny, but the

(01:14:12):
bloom or the whole plant grows glows. Can you remember
I think it was I think it was the plant.
Could be I think it was the plant, and I
don't think the bloom glowed. This is very difficult to
speak today.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
But you know that here's the good part. It shows
almost over they've done the same thing to fish. You
know they have glowfish. Have you seen those glish? They're
like red green, blue same. You put them under a
black light and you can see them they glow.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
They put highlighter in them.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
They got a bunch of mad scientists back, you know,
and some you know.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
Laboratory little needles and inject them into the fish.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
All right, that's it, Tanya, says Tiger.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
That it's bioluminous, biolumines That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
What did I tell you? Every everything we have ponder
today that we could you think about. Our viewers and
listeners have given us the answer. So on that note,
