00:00Program for you today packed full of garden advice and inspiration. This is the time of the year to be blooming at home
00:06And we'll show you how. Here's what's coming up on today's show
00:11Matt heads into a museum that shows you how easy it is to make tough jobs so much easier in the garden
00:19Well, my job just got a whole lot easier because of this guy in the back, so I'm gonna go and have some fun
00:24Darren shares why it's so important to put in the effort over summer to keep your trees happy, healthy and most importantly fruitful
00:34When selecting citrus trees for your home garden, don't be afraid to try something a little different
00:40This canotto citrus tree is a really compact grower and highly ornamental
00:45And I'll show you how to turn your lawn dark green overnight just in time for Christmas
00:51You want this lawn looking outstanding and thanks to this new technology from Scots. You can do it
01:15If you're taking on a weekend project or just needing a helping hand in the garden
01:19There's one name that's fast becoming synonymous with getting the job done and that's the Kanga mini loader
01:26If you've got a weekend project or a landscaping job to do like moving soil or preparing for lawn
01:32Then a Kanga can make your job easy and quick. The best part is though
01:36You don't actually need to own one you can hire one and be up and running in minutes
01:42They are designed to be easy to use even for the first-time operators within minutes
01:47You'll feel confident and in control
01:50Hire includes access to a range of attachments, so no matter the task digging leveling trenching you've got it covered
01:59Thanks Shane, good work, thank you
02:01This is actually a smart affordable way to get the job done. Think of it as a try before you buy
02:08Cam has invited me to the Kennards Museum to see how far back the history between Kanga and Kennards goes
02:16So Cam, Kennards and Kanga go way back
02:19They sure do Matt. Our customers have been hiring Kangas for decades
02:23They're so reliable. They're tough and it's great for Aussies just to get a lot of stuff done
02:28This baby here is is just showing how far the innovation has come
02:32So this is a great innovation of its time. Is it still going strong today? Yeah, this was first of its kind still going strong today and
02:40Kennards hire and Kanga two Australian owned businesses are working together to making it better for the customers
02:46That's awesome. So tell me a bit about your shared values and your relationship with Kanga and Kennards
02:52Yeah, those family values really drive our businesses together and we work together on making these these products better for our customers
02:59Yeah, you can see that in the results. Yeah, our customers. It's all about making their job easy and Kanga are key to that
03:06With loads of hire branches across Australia customers like myself are finding real reassurance in
03:12Testing it before buying it and it makes sense you try it if it works for you. You can then buy it
03:19Well, my job just got a whole lot easier because of this guy in the back, so I'm gonna go and have some fun
03:29For those of us that live with sandy soils, we don't realize the environment
03:45Sometimes we live in is affected by the things that we do now
03:49If you're in that situation you're in an endless cycle of watering and feeding your plants because the nutrients drain through the soil
03:56What most of us are not aware of is that sand is everywhere and those nutrients are moving through the sand
04:03They eventually make it into our river systems causing all sorts of environmental problems
04:08But the good news is we've learnt as we've gone over the years
04:11We've got better fertilizers and we've found ways to improve our soil that stops that leaching
04:18This is a once-off soil treatment that can be applied that reduces the leaching dramatically
04:23It increases the plant's ability to use all the nutrients you're applying and improves moisture consistency
04:29This is called soil solver a unique kale and clay mix with carefully balanced minerals and also silt and when mixed into sandy soils
04:38It completely transforms their structure
04:40Gavin Davis was a farmer looking to improve his yields from crops in barren sandy soils and he experimented with amending the soils with clays
04:49The results were a much healthier high-yielding soil
04:54When it comes to application rates if you're putting organics into the soil they tend to sort of disappear
05:00But with your product that doesn't happen. How many kilos they using per square meter ten kilos a square meter of my product seems to get to the point
05:08Where everybody is really happy it gets rid of the hydrofabric problems. I know that it's a water repellency
05:12It gives enough minerals to give the results that people are looking for for an easy care
05:17No wetting agent, etc. One of the things that you can see here is the exotic plants are thriving
05:23They love that soil improvement. Does it work as well for natives?
05:26Absolutely. The best results I've seen in a native garden is ten kilos of clay and nothing else
05:32This is the third summer Albany woolly bush six foot high
05:35Gee, well two meters in the old language. Yeah, and I actually floured after the second year
05:40You've got very intensive gardens
05:42You might actually increase it per square meter to what would you suggest? No problem going to 20 kilos a square meter
05:49Science tells us that's the real rate and when you look at the science of it. Yes, that's right
05:54And that really helps a lot because every time you put a clay particle and you're holding a humus particle in the soil
06:00Now I've been using this stuff for years in fact probably over 15 now and it's improved the gutless
06:08Sandy soils. I've got significantly now the magic of this is of course the kaolin clay
06:14What it does is it gets in between the sand particles and it binds them together and with the silt and the rock minerals
06:20It slows the movement of both moisture and nutrients through the soil allowing your plants to take them up
06:26Just like that incorporate into the soil you can now see the water is staying up around where the plants roots will be when I plant this bed out
06:35It's absolutely brilliant how it transforms the soil and best of all it does it permanently
06:41You only have to do this once and the change is forever now
06:45I understand the principles behind it
06:47I understand the science has been put into it
06:49But the most important thing of all for all of us is that this actually works your plants and your garden will love it
06:56If you want to know more about it check out this website
06:59We created this show so that you could have a beautiful garden at home without becoming a slave to it
07:13Now whether you're a beginner or an expert our Facebook page is the perfect resource to help you have the most beautiful garden in the street
07:21You'll find expert advice
07:23introductions to the latest plant varieties and clever gardening tips and tricks to help your garden thrive with ease
07:31And we love showcasing the newest innovations that will give you the most beautiful garden on the block
07:37Good gardeners love their soil
07:42It's literally the foundation of every garden
07:45Anchoring plants in place and providing them with nutrients and moisture
07:49Healthy soil is teeming with microbial life
07:53With billions of microscopic bacteria and fungi helping our plants to grow and prosper
07:58So it's absolutely imperative that us gardeners look after our soil
08:03One of the very best things any gardener can do to show their soil just how important it is is to mulch
08:10Mulch provides a protective blanket to the soil
08:13Helping to mitigate the effects of the scorching Aussie sun
08:16Keep the soil cooler, slow evaporation and protect the soil microbes
08:21Mulch can also be effective in smothering out weeds and weed seeds
08:25Before mulching it is a good idea to apply a wetting agent and fertiliser if required
08:32A good mulch will allow water either from rainfall or irrigation to move through it really quickly into the soil below where it's actually needed
08:43To do this the mulch needs to be comprised of irregular particle sizes and be quite coarse
08:50Apply the mulch as a layer 50 to 100 millimetres thick thinning out as you get closer to any plant trunks or stems
08:57Building the mulch up thickly around the trunks of your plants could lead to collar rot
09:02Which in turn can result in dead plants which is not ideal
09:06For veggie beds and productive gardens are feeding mulch is recommended
09:11Pea straw or triple C is ideal
09:13Again lay quite thickly between the plants and thin out close to the stems
09:18Once the crops have been harvested and the plants are finished for the season
09:23Feeding mulches can be dug into the soil providing nutrients and fertiliser for the next season's crop
09:29Don't forget about your potted plants
09:33Plants in larger pots should also be mulched
09:35For the exact reasons you would mulch your garden beds
09:38Add a fertiliser and a wetting agent then apply the mulch
09:41Keeping it off the trunk in potted plants can be a little more tricky but is still important
09:46The main reason for mulching is definitely to have happier and healthier plants
09:52But it doesn't hurt that a freshly mulched garden looks fantastic too
09:57Mulching will protect your soil, slowing evaporation and moderating soil temperatures
10:02Mulching will make gardening easier and you'll also have soil that loves you
10:07One of the most disappointing problems raised by gardeners is what I call sudden death syndrome
10:19Plants that are apparently healthy just drop dead overnight
10:23Or it could be a patch of lawn, pot plant, even shrubs in the garden
10:28And yet they're normally quite well watered
10:30The underlying cause can be a build-up of a waxy substance which coats the soil particles in water repellent wax
10:40Water often sits on the surface unable to penetrate down to where the roots are located
10:46When pot plants are affected by this water repellent problem
10:51The water that you apply tends to bead up and then run down the side, the edge of the pot
10:58It still comes out the drainage hole
11:00However, it hasn't penetrated the root ball, that sort of central area of roots
11:05And the plants get dry and can die
11:08The most effective fix is to apply a wetting agent at the first sign of unexpected wilting
11:16This formulation not only goes to work fast to open up the moisture lock
11:21But also brings sea salt, seaweed extract and liquid humic soil conditioners to the party
11:29Applying is as simple as using a hose end sprayer or a watering can
11:35And you can use it on any of your garden plants or your potted plants for that matter
11:41Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just beginning
11:48Our website provides everything you need to enjoy the beauty in your own garden

12:04Visit thegardengurus.tv today and make gardening easier and of course more enjoyable
12:11The same thing happens every year just as we move into the serious entertaining period
12:16Usually just before Christmas we get a dry spell
12:19And the lawn that was looking pretty darn good suddenly looks stressed and in trouble
12:24And this is a sure sign to increase your watering minutes to ensure you're maintaining the growth
12:32But how do you fix it? I mean what would you do if you had the family around at Christmas
12:36And it was looking all dry and crispy
12:38Even worse you had the mates over for your boxing day backyard test
12:42And you couldn't play the game because you had patches everywhere
12:45You want this lawn looking outstanding
12:47And thanks to this new technology from Scots
12:49You can do it
12:50This Lawn Builder will not just green your lawn
12:53It'll actually do it in the same day
12:57Long term recovery from damage is always best treated with a great lawn fertilizer like Lawn Builder
13:02It's what the experts rely on
13:05But Lawn Builder isn't just the perfect slow release lawn food
13:08It's also a specialised range of treatments
13:11Including this bottle of genius
13:13The ultimate cheat for those of us wanting to impress
13:19Now the way this works
13:20Well it's really quite remarkable
13:22They've applied years and years of scientific research
13:25They identified two key elements
13:27Nitrogen and iron
13:28And these are the greening elements in the leaves that we see
13:31But these are not any old forms
13:33These are highly soluble forms
13:34So when you apply over the foliage
13:36It's absorbed through the foliage
13:38It doesn't have to come up through the roots
13:40Now this means that you are going to get almost instant green
13:43Which means that you can cheat your backyard boxing day test
13:47Oh, an application
13:51It's foolproof
13:52No mixing
13:53No mess
13:54An instant effect
13:55And if you're wondering what lawn varieties this best suits
13:58Try broadleaf grasses like buffalo
14:01Or fineleaf like coochers
14:03Even the cooler season grasses which respond instantly
14:07Now look you'll find this fast green in every Bunnings store in the country
14:11So there's a bottle near you
14:12Which means you do not have an excuse
14:15You've really got to make sure you've got one
14:17A couple of days before you entertain
14:19Apply it
14:20And dazzle your friends
14:21They'll be blown away with just how quick this stuff actually acts
14:25It's absolutely brilliant
14:26And while you're down at your local Bunnings store
14:28Grab a sausage sizzle

15:07So come join us and be part of our community
15:12Citrus are the most popular fruiting plant to grow in the home garden
15:15By quite some margin
15:17And it's not really surprising
15:19They're easy to grow
15:20They look great
15:21And they produce the most delicious fruit
15:23Now most citrus crop in winter
15:26But it's the work the home gardener does during the warmer months
15:29That will decide just how bountiful that crop of fruit is
15:32Once the flowers and tiny fruit begin to form
15:36It's critical to maintain a constant moisture level in the soil
15:40Too much variation can cause plant stress
15:43And the fruit and flowers may simply fall off
15:45Using a good quality wetting agent
15:47Will allow the water to soak in and hold in the soil
15:50While applying a layer of mulch
15:52Will slow soil moisture loss
15:54Your citrus trees will require adequate nutrition
15:59To form and carry fruit through to ripening
16:02A controlled release fertiliser
16:04Will provide this nutrition in a gradual manner
16:06And it can be supplemented with liquid fertilising
16:09Avoid heavy fertilising
16:11As this may push the tree into growth mode
16:14At the expense of fruiting
16:15For gardeners with restricted space
16:18Growing citrus in pots is an excellent option
16:21Many varieties are sold as dwarf forms
16:24Or are naturally more compact growing
16:27This native lime is a perfect example
16:29It's ready to be repotted
16:31To ensure it stays healthy through summer
16:33I'm using a premium potting mix
16:35And a controlled release fertiliser
16:37Watering in well with a wetting agent
16:39Seaweed solution finishes the job
16:41You can have too much of a good thing
16:45And last winter this Meyer lemon tree
16:47Produced so much fruit
16:49I simply couldn't use it
16:51Or even give it away
16:52So this year I'm going to prune it
16:54To keep the tree a little smaller
16:55And hopefully get a smaller
16:57More manageable crop
16:58I'm selectively pruning out branches
17:00To lower the height of the tree
17:02And open up the canopy
17:04When selecting citrus trees
17:06For your home garden
17:07Don't be afraid to try something
17:08A little different
17:09This canotto citrus tree
17:11Is a really compact grower
17:13And highly ornamental
17:14It produces fruits
17:16That can be made into jams
17:17Marmalade
17:18Even liqueurs
17:19But what it's best known for
17:21Is a canotto Italian soft drink
17:23Citrus are an excellent addition
17:28To a suburban garden
17:29And although they shine brightest
17:31In the winter months
17:32As their fruit ripens
17:33It's important to put in the work
17:34Over summer
17:35To keep your trees happy, healthy
17:37And most importantly fruitful
17:39Now this has got to be one of the best times of the year
17:46In the garden
17:47When we're coming out of spring
17:48Going into summer
17:49We've seen this massive explosion of growth
17:52And of course we want to see that sustained
17:54As we go into the summer months
17:56Now the warm weather is a very good thing
17:58As long as we can maintain water supply
18:00The other thing that's absolutely critical
18:02Is making sure that the plants have the same energy
18:04That they've had as they've come into spring
18:07Now that means that you've got to supplement the soil with minerals
18:10Most importantly those microbes
18:12That really do boost the growth
18:14That make the significant difference
18:16If you get those right
18:17You've got bright sunny days
18:18And the plants can photosynthesise
18:20Make energy
18:21You're going to end up with the best possible garden
18:24Roses are a good example of what I'm referring to
18:27They produce significant growth coming out of winter
18:30And then they put on spectacular displays
18:33This combined draw of energy and nutrients
18:36Will run out if not sustained
18:38And minerals once used are not replenished miraculously in the soil
18:42They actually have to be replaced
18:44That's why feeding your flowering plants now
18:47Towards the end of their first significant flush of flowers
18:50And growth is really important
18:52The trick is to use a fertiliser that is complex in its nature
18:56Having a range of critical mineral elements
18:59Necessary for strong healthy growth
19:01And of course flower production
19:03Now the thing with biominerals
19:05Is that they do make a massive difference
19:07And I'm not telling you this
19:09Because I want to see you going spending your well learnt money
19:13What I'm wanting you to do
19:14Is to make sure that you're never disappointed
19:16If you don't supplement the soil with the nutrients
19:20And especially those minerals that plants need
19:22What you'll find is the next flush of flowers will be smaller
19:25The plant will be less vigorous
19:27And with time
19:28The big problem with that of course
19:29Is they become susceptible to pests and diseases
19:32So keeping biominerals close by
19:35Is going to make a big difference to the health of your soil
19:38And the health of your plants
19:40This is the new generation of fertiliser
19:42That's changing everything
19:44The second is soil moisture
19:46Where there is moisture there is life
19:48Without it microbes will not exist
19:50And plants will not grow
19:52It's also very much about consistency
19:55So two deep drinks a week for gardens and lawns
19:59Should sustain most garden plants in hot dry climates
20:02Pots and hanging baskets will need hand watering daily
20:06Now a little bit of a tip when it comes to watering as well
20:09Make sure you're watering the ground
20:11The roots around the base of the plant
20:13Not over the foliage
20:15The foliage is really not going to do an awful lot
20:17And a lot of that water will evaporate
20:19So it's kind of wasted
20:20But if you get it in around the roots
20:22You're going to have plants that are going to be a lot happier
20:25This applies to pots even more so
20:27In fact, one of the interesting things with pots is
20:29If you put a tray under it
20:31Any excess water that flows through the pot
20:33Will sit in the tray
20:34And then be taken back up to the roots through capillary action
20:36Watering is vitally important this time of the year
20:39Whether it be pot plants, whether it be garden plants
20:41Whether it be garden plants
20:42And definitely when you've applied a mineral fertiliser like this
20:46You want to make sure that the bio part of it
20:49Those microbes are all activated and growing strongly
20:54Well that's all we've got for you this week on The Garden Gurus
