Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson. Time
for the little home improvement from the man, the myth,
the legend, the most listened to home improvement show host
in the entire Solar system, Ladies and gentlemen, the one,
the only, and by the way, his website's Garriuslyving online
dot com, The one the only. Mister Gary Sellmer, Good morning,
(00:21):
mister Wilson. Hell, I'm okay, and you uh fantastic.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You know, my rhododendrons bloomed and then all the blooms
fell off this week.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Your rodos yeah, seriously, Yeah, huh they were beautiful. Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
They didn't last very long. Kind of got cold.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Did it take care of him?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, Ron, they were out for about six seven days,
so they're starting, you know, the past full bloom. But
the frost wiped him out.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
So he sent me a picture from somebody, one of
our listeners out in their New Richmond and there was
twenty five I got there this morning, real well show. Yeah,
she had one of those electronic ones and show you
know inside, yeah, twenty five degrees shucky darn how it
is April? Well, that is that's true? How does that
the up and downs obviously affect our plants. How does
(01:17):
that affect our sighting and our painting? And well it
keeps hitting. It's twenty five, that's true. That's pretty much it.
You know, it's just the projects, whether they're weather conducive
or not. But it's really not going to do any
damage to our homes per se.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
There's a little uh, you know, expansion contraction going on
whenever temperature is volley back and forth, as there is
with a moisture. But hey, get that every year. It's
just the way it works.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You know, we've had a lot of rainfall. I bet
you haven't gotten any calls on on leaky basement.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
She's hardly any. I think we solved that problem. We
can move on now.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
What just get the rain to stop.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh gosh, yeah, yeah, I was happy I had a
good dry basement, but I'm sure a lot of people
did not. Then you got the clean up, and then
the river. You know, I know it took four or
five days to get it back in its banks, but
you know all the gunk that leaves behind, the bacterian
some of that, it's not nice.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, what a what a mess to clean all that
stuff up. We were talking about you earlier this morning
you were well, they were talking about the process. I
wasn't watching on the news last night, and they said,
you know, many communities, the fire departments come in with
their hoses first and just really blow the bulk of
that stuff out of the building. And then and then
you come back with the.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Powerwasher and the disinfected.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And the disinfected and start to do the fine tuning.
And so Danny and I were talking about the boy
I was. I was watching the news to see if
Gary Sullivan was in the background.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I was promoting with a power washers ago. Right.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, but that's that's how they fine tuned that day.
And they said, you know how important that is because
if you leave any of that stuff and any of
the drywall or what you know, wherever.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, I mean, so people always I don't know drywall
really is and you've been there. It's easily repairable. I
mean when nobody likes to do it. You know, you
see a big water stain on the ceiling. The least
thing you want to do is cut into that ceiling
to find out where the leak is and see if
(03:24):
the insulation. If you can't get up behind it, I
get that, but just cut it, get it out of there.
It's you know, it's got gymps and paper in it,
and it's at getting materire. If it's been wet, it's
going to grow mold. And if it grew mold and
you take the water out, it's going to stop growing mold.
But the mold spores are still there.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Well, and it well, that was one of the points
where the power washing is that even if it's not drywall,
just even in the concrete and all of that, Now
that can just you know, if you don't really get
it all cleaned out right, that stuff will continue to
grow in there.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah. And you know there's different types of floods too.
I mean there's water and mud, but then there's also
sewage backups. Right, you gotta be really careful with that.
You don't know what's in that water.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well. And that's because I got a couple of emails
this week about the backyard gardens flooding. And you know
what do I do? Do I have the soil test,
which I always say, yeah, get the soil tested, just
to be sure. But I guess it depends on whether
it was just you know, standing water in your yard
or did it actually come from sewage that backed up?
(04:29):
And then then you get different different story.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
There, totally different ball game for sure. I never would
have thought of tests. I thought mother nature and plants
would just take care of those impurities.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, but you know if it is sewage or whatever, Yeah,
you never know.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
But some of the stuff we put in for fertilizers, I.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Mean same way, what you know, did that get in there?
Could could have? Yeah, it's always that's where our raised beds.
Sometimes if lesson water gets too high, can can't help
the benefit a little. Wait, if you're in an area
like that that has the Tennessee to flood a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's kind of the big problem in Florida, isn't it
run off from the farms and the fertilizers and well
red tide and that's all related.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Right, Yeah, well a lot of this and even in
Ohio and you know when the lakes in that where
they you know, you get all of that algae that
bloom is growing and it's all part of that runoff.
So yeah, one of the reasons why you see a
lot of lawn foods now with no phosphorus.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is that what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The phosphors says, yeap took the all.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Don our grass need that phosphorus wrung.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, but there's a natural level in there which I'm
now I'm sure now Buggy Joe will probably jump all
over this, but it'll be teaching us if a starter fertilizer,
still have it, because it's an important part of starter fertilizers,
and if you have your soil tested then you need it.
You can always get the starter fertilizer and add that pull.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
What number is that on the lawn the middle phosphorus,
that's the middle.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
One nitrogen phosphorus and potash pot ash. Yeah. My question
to you was some pumps. I think ours is getting
pretty old, and I think it's time to replace it.
That's I've never done that before. Is that something I
can do myself?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You could do that?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I mean it doesn't look too hard.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, you can do that.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Are there better brands than others?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah? Sure? Did you do you have a backup in
there too? Run or do you have a backup pump
in there?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
All the siers rarely ever gets water. It's very unusual.
I mean it very rarely ever gets water in there.
I don't know what the deal is, but nevertheless, it does,
but not very often. But it's been you know, it's
an old one, and I said, you know what, I
probably should take that out and replace that.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Well, I'll tell you, Zalor's been a sponsor to the
show for years. But going back to my hardware days,
Zalor is the best pump out there. Okay, it truly is,
and it it is made right in Louisville, Kentucky and
five generations. And but they're claim to fame is the
thing that fails on a sump pump ninety percent of
(06:51):
the time is actually the switch. And they have the
highest rated switches in the market. I mean, they test
these things. I've been down there in the manufacturing plan.
It's it's phenomenal. It really is a lot of hands
on work there. But I've got a Zala in my basement.
It's funny, you said you just getting a little old.
I was thinking, I bet you that pump I've got
(07:12):
in my basement's probably twelve years old and it runs.
It doesn't run all the time, but I date them.
I date everything the furnas well.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
You did that in high school too.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, yeah, Well I got to go down there today
and check how old mine is, But gosh, it looks new.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So yeah, so as as it looks new, I'm good
to go.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well, No, the average life on the sub pump's really
about ten years.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, that mine needs to be replaced. Yeah, thank you, sir.
