Rental needed
Unfortunately I found myself in the same situation as hundreds of kiwis and I need to move out from my current rental.(apparently landlord is moving in)
I'm after 4 bedrooms, 2 bthms and double garage place in howick and surrounding suburbs
The only problem is I actually need a big garden not because of pets or children but because of my huge passion for gardening.
I've been in my current rental for 4.5 yrs,have great references,painted all the bedrooms,bought new curtains, paid for green bin every mth as I was maintaining their(mine) huge garden,installed 5 raised beds and put greenhouse on so I can have my own vegetables most of the year and where I start my seedlings which in turn I sell every second Saturday at Howick market.
If you know of anyone that is planning to rent their house in near future please let me know
I'm on Trade Me every day but most properties have either very small section or concrete around them
Thanks for reading

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

Fruit destroyed on your trees?
Greetings, Neighbours. The guava moth is out and about. You'll notice pinholes in your fruit where the moth has laid its egg - which hatches into a grub which burrows throughout your fruit and makes it inedible. You can make traps (see on-line) and/or pick up fallen fruit (twice a day, if possible) and put in a bucket of water overnight. I've found this to be the best method as it destroys the second generation. Please do it. (Funny/peculiar thing: we have a couple of mini guava trees and the moths never touch them.) And pick fruit early if necessary, put in a paper bag with a banana and store for a few days at room temperature. Fruit will ripen, even if only for jam. Well done the person on Jade Avenue who has covered their plum tree with netting.
Making of traps: buy a few small garden/driveway lights from Bunnings -$3 each). Unscrew the small solar lamp and pull off the pointy bit. Then force the lamp into the top of a milk bottle. Cut holes in the milk bottle so the moth can enter as it seeks the light. (Pics on-line.)
Happy New Year, David H.
