Gardening
- Water early morning or late evening to prevent 70% of water evaporating.
- Give your plants a good long soak twice a week rather than a short daily water. You will encourage deeper, healthier roots.
- Use a digital water timer with a rain sensor– it switches on only when needed.
Pool
- Use a cover to prevent evaporation and keep the water warm
- Keep your pool clean, wipe your feet before you jump in.
Play your part. We value wai in the Waikato.

Countdown (probably) has the distribution rights. But whenever it comes on special it seems to be out of stock by the time I walk through their door...
Now this might be a case of the local manager not wanting to to wear the full cost of the discount by not buying much in, but it still feels like a "Baiting advertisement" to me. Have I just been really unlucky all those times???
Can anyone with a similar complaint please respond so I can get a feel for the depth of it?

It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.
May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”
Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
