Growing native trees for the Red Zone Third working bee
I am David Newton (my wife Jane joined Neighbourly in 2015) I got two fantastic helpers today Paul and Glenise. We pricked out 200 seedling Wineberry, (great for bird food) into 50x50 pots, sowed Kahikatea, Lancewood and griselinia littoralis seed all eco sourced from Travis wetland. Then we finished off the two hours potting 100 coprosma robusta and another 100 mixture of marble leaf and Manuka seedlings into PB3’s from the 50x50’s. All this done in our two hour slot. Next session Sat Sept 1st 2-4pm at the SBHS Nursery (meet in the carpark beside ther double story block off Averil St. Bring gumboots). Thanks to Canterbury Landscape Services, CSL Ltd who provides the excellent potting mix and seed raising mix as well as pumice free as a gift to SBHS. Thank you, Phil and your team. The nursery is growing well and even the Konini is busting back into leaf after looking very naked and dead from the heavy frosts. About 50 of our trees will be going out into a planting at Horseshoe Lake next Saturday as part of Otakaro Forest Park’s regular Working Bee there. More habitat and bird food for our native species. Thanks again. Regards David.
Building job
I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
