Terrible NZ Post (non service)
I am trying to follow up on a package picked up locally by NZ Post on 7/7 for delivery to me. Both sender and myself are on the Shore. The only update is " Package received by NZ Post" ( on 7/7).

Both sender and myself are on the Shore. The only update is " Package received by NZ Post" ( on 7/7). I am trying to find out why it has taken 11 days so far ( including weekends) to further update or deliver. Attempts to call are USELESS as they pigeonhole you and you cannot get to speak to a human. I also initiated an online inquiry to which I have not even received an acknowlegement . They have the now normal response "We are experiencing higher volumes..." from the COVID days. Why do all these organisations not employ more staff to handle this? They have a radio Ad claiming to be the best courier service for businesses. Maybe that is where all their efforts go. Very annoyed

Time to act before the Spring rush
Just a reminder that Spring is underway as far as the plants are concerned, and weed vines and shrubs are putting out new shoots, sneaking around garden shrubs, drinking up the lovely water and increasing sun, and finding new ground to conquer.

Big weed invasions yield the most material for paths, mulch and compost, and the first big weeding produces a massive amount of plant material to be either sent to landfill or used to benefit the soil and plants by decomposition onsite.
Once the ground dries, sun comes out, and rain is infrequent, decomposition by rotting slows down or stops altogether.
We don't encourage storing big piles of dry woody or papery material during the fire season, so if you have a lot of woody weeds to be dealt to....that is, vines, shrubs or trees...work needs to start very soon if you want the plant material composted onsite and returned to your soil to help the remaining plants grow well and remain weed free.
After we have done weed control and mulched where needed, the Spring rush of weeds doesn't occur for most species, and not at all if we have had time to eradicate the weed before the warm weather.
Instead, the wanted plants grow luxuriously in the moisture and sunlight of Spring, filling the space and reducing weed reinvasion.
Since we only started our business last Christmas, we don't yet have photos of our clients' gardens in Spring after our weed control.
Below is a photo of an area of public Reserve in January this year, hand weeded of major environmental weeds, then gradually of benign leafy weeds. This area is part of a forest margin, in which dense vegetation is key to keeping the area weed-free, so native regeneration has been allowed to fill the space entirely.

The Mangere-based Ara Education Charitable Trust is inviting volunteers to share skills and knowledge on a one-off, or an ongoing, basis. Retired tradespeople could help by working with the students, says John Vazey, senior health, safety and wellbeing business partner at Auckland Airport.
Students are working on a number of projects, including the Forever House, transforming it from a derelict house into a sustainable low-cost home to be returned to the community. Volunteers will work alongside AECT tutors and the students in classroom and hands-on projects.
Do you want to pass on some of your skills and knowledge? Get in touch with the team by emailing editor@foreverproject.co.nz
