In The Garden (Oct. 7)

WEAK OFFSHORE EVENTS, SANTA ANA
WINDS WITH US TODAY, SO BACK TO
THE 90s.
AMY: CRAIG, HAVE YOU EVER POURED
THAT COLD COFFEE INTO A PLANT IN
THE OFFICE?
[LAUGHTER]
WELL, IF YOU'VE EVER WONDERED IF
YOU CAN USE LIQUIDS OTHER WATER
TO TREAT YOUR PLANTS, TODAY
WE'RE GOING IN THE GARDEN TO SEE
THE DO AND DON'Ts OF WATER
ALTERNATIVES.
HI, EVERYBODY, NICK, IT KIND
OF LOOKS --
YOU WANT TO HANG THAT UP FOR
ME SOMEPLACE?
NO, I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH IT.
[LAUGHTER]
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GETTING READY
FOR A PARTY.
WE ARE.
WE'RE AT THE HERITAGE SQUARE
MUSEUM IN MONTECITO HEIGHTS,
BEAUTIFUL HISTORICAL HOMES THAT
YOU CAN COME VISIT.
JUST A GORGEOUS PLACE.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO
LET YOU DO THEIR --
NO SOGGY SOCKS.
NO SOGGY SOCKS TODAY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT GOT ME TO
THINKING ESPECIALLY BASED ON A
LAND SCAPE CONSULTATION THAT I
WENT TO AT SOMEBODY'S HOME, AND
THIS WOMAN ASKED ME A QUESTION
THAT I THOUGHT WAS PRETTY
FASCINATING, AND THAT WAS I HAVE
MY LITTLE CHILDREN, AND THEY
NEVER FINISH THEIR MILK.
CAN I WATER MY PLANTS WITH IT?
YOU KNOW?
AND YOU THINK HERE WE ARE, YOU
KNOW, WE MAY NOT THINK WE'RE IN
A DROUGHT, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS
GOING TO BE IN A DROUGHT.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY CONSCIENTIOUS
OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
SHOULD WE -- WHAT CAN WE WATER
OUR PLANTS WITH.
WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
WATERING WITH YOUR DIRTY SOCK
WATER, AND YOU CAN DO THAT --
REALLY?
WELL, WHAT ABOUT DETERGENTS?
THE DETERGENTS NOWADAYS, IF
YOU'RE GETTING IT FROM ANOTHER
COUNTRY, YOU PROBABLY HAVE LYE
IN THERE, BUT HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES I'VE NOT SEEN ANYTHING ON
THE SHELF THAT DOESN'T SAY
BIODEGRADABLE.
LET'S JUST MAKE SURE IT SAYS
THAT SO YOU DON'T GET STUCK.
HERE'S THE KEY TO USING THIS,
YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE --
AND THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL GRAY
WATER.
YOU USE GRAY WATER.
YOU CAN SPELL GRAY WATER WITH AN
E OR AN A.
YOU WANT TO USE IT WITHIN 24
HOURS.
IF YOU WAIT LONGER THAN THAT, IT
GETS STINKY.
OH.
WHEN IT COMES TO USING A
RAINWATER SYSTEM, HOWEVER,
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
BECAUSE THIS ONE IS, IT'S
FOOD-GRADE PLASTIC IN HERE.
OKAY.
SO YOU COULD ACTUALLY LET IT
STAY IN THERE FOR A LONG TIME,
OKAY?
YOU DON'T WANT TO DRINK IT --
RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT?
BUT IT'S GOOD FOR THE PLANTS.
IT'S GOOD FOR THE PLANTS.
SO LET'S DO THIS, LET'S START
SEPARATING A COUPLE THINGS.
WE ALREADY SAID THAT THESE TWO
ARE GOOD.
THEY'RE OKAY.
SO LET'S DO A COUPLE OF
THINGS HERE.
I THINK WE CAN SAFELY SAY WATER,
BOTTLED WATER, DO IT.
WATER YOUR PLANTS.
HERE WE GO.
HERE'S SOMETHING, HOW ABOUT
THIS?
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE AQUARIUM
WATER?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK NO.
FISH POO IS WONDERFUL FOR
PLANTS.
[LAUGHTER]
SO THAT'S A YES.
THAT'S A YES OVER HERE.
OKAY HERE WE HAVE A SPORTS
DRINK.
I'M GOING TO SAY NO AGAIN.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON
THE NO.
LET'S PUT ALL THE NOs OVER
HERE.
OKAY.
HERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S KIND
OF INTERESTING.
WE HAVE SOME WHAT ARE THESE
CALLED?
OLIVES.
YOU HAVE THE JUICE OF THE
OLIVES.
NO.
NO, WE WOULDN'T USE THIS.
TOO SALTY.
EXACTLY.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
AND PROBABLY ONE OF ITS
RELATIVES RIGHT HERE, WE HAVE
FINISH.
THAT'S A NO TOO.
WHY WOULD YOU THINK OTHER
THAN THE SALT?
VINEGAR.
VINEGAR HAS ACID IN THERE,
AND IT'S NOT GOOD FOR IT.
SINCE I'M ON THIS SIDE OVER
HERE, WE HAVE SOME COOKING
WATER.
SO WHEN YOU GET YOUR
VEGETABLES --
OKAY.
IF YOU COOKING VEGETABLES, I SAY
YES.
NUTRIENTS ARE INSIDE THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
AND THEN LET'S SEE, LET'S DO
THIS ONE.
WE'RE GOING TO GO ON THERE, I
THINK OUR CAMERAMAN GAVE US THIS
ONE RIGHT HERE.
OH, NO.
[LAUGHTER]
THERE'S ACTUALLY TEA IN HERE.
GOOD TO KNOW, NICK, GOOD TO
KNOW.
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT
THIS ONE?
NO.
YEAH, NO, NO.
TOO MANY SALTS --
THAT'S A NO IN SO MANY WAYS.
[LAUGHTER]
SO MANY WAYS.
EVERYBODY LIKES A CUP OF COFFEE,
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CUP
OF COFFEE?
I'M GOING TO SAY YES?
OKAY, NO.
TWO WRONG.
YEAH.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, YOU DON'T
WANT TO USE ESPECIALLY IF YOU
PUT SUGARS AND MILK AND THINGS
LIKE
YEAH.
AND IT'S TOO STRONG AND TOO
ACIDIC IN THE LONG RUN.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS RIGHT
HERE.
WE HAVE TEA.
WE HAVE A SWEET TEA AND WE HAVE
AN UNSWEETINGENNED TEA.
OH.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO SAY NO ON THE
SWEETENED, YES ON THE
UNSWEETENED.
ABSOLUTELY.
YOU'RE THERE.
OKAY.
BLACK WATER IS ALSO
CONSIDERED WHAT WE CALL SEWAGE
WATER.
NO.
WHY NOT?
TOO MUCH GUNK IN THERE.
YEAH, TOO MUCH GUNK.
IT'S NOT GOOD GUPG.
THERE'S ACTUALLY IRONS AND
METALS INSIDE OF BLACK WATER, SO
YOU WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT.
LET'S SEE, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
WE HAVE SOME SEW THAT?
NO.
NO SODA.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE'VE
GOT OURSELVES --
CRANBERRY?
NO.
I TAKE THAT BACK, WE'VE GOT
ONE MORE.
POOL WATER.
NO.
NO, WE DON'T WANT TO DO POOL
WATER.
CHLORINE OR SALT.

FACEBOOK PAGE, I ALSO DO A RADIO
SHOW THROUGH THERE AS WELL
SOMETIMES.

DON'T WATER YOUR PLANTS, DO
WATER YOUR PLANTS.
DO, DON'T.
