Poll: When's too early for DIY?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the We Say You Say… View moreWe can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?

When's too early for DIY?

• Afternoons are for DIY. Never mornings.
• Anytime before 10am is too early.
• 8am is early, but acceptable.
• I'd let them away with 9am.

More about dragon trees and their wild seedlings

www.aucklandmuseum.com...

We have not noticed - or perhaps not recognised - an adult dragon tree in the Kaipatiki area, and wonder where the birds are getting these seeds?

Does anyone know of a mature Dracaena draco (dragon tree) in the Glenfield/Birkdale area?

Of course, the parent tree does not need to be close by, as kereru can fly up to 20km and back to feed. From our own observation, kereru droppings usually contain the undigested portion - eg seeds - from a very recent meal. But maybe dragon tree seeds take a while to be excreted.

Regardless of whether these seeds are being brought from the trees we know of in Devonport or East Coast Bays or from suburbs closer to Eskdale Forest, we would be interested to hear if there are any dragon trees growing in this neighbourhood...and if so, whether many seedlings are being found in the gardens around them.
