Poll: Is your child immunised against whooping cough?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

A spike in whooping cough cases has prompted Auckland health authorities to urge parents to immunise their children.

Children made up half of the 204 cases between November and January. During this period, 52 children were hospitalised, with infants under 1 year at highest risk.

It's the second wave of a nationwide outbreak, first declared in December 2017. To read more, click here

Help Needed: Peat, Straw, and Moisture Control for Tiger Worms in Castor Bay

Diana from Castor Bay

Hello, neighbors! I’m in Castor Bay and currently caring for my tiger worms. I’ve encountered some moisture issues and am looking for materials like peat, straw, or anything that can help with moisture absorption. I’d also appreciate any advice on preventing clogging in the drainage pipe to ensure proper drainage. If anyone has extra peat, straw, or can share some helpful tips, I’d be really grateful! Thank you so much for your support, especially during the holiday season
Best wishes,
Diana
