Wonderful garden fertilizer
Hi, if you are doing the autumn tidy of your garden especially the vegetable garden and would like to improve your soil, you can collect horse manure from Hastings Riding for the Disabled at 699 Murdoch Road East, Akina, Hastings, please drive in. Bring your trailer, or fill some of our bags yourselves for free. If we have time we do fill some bags up and put them out by the road but we do ask for a donation for these please. Most of the manure is collected by a machine from the paddocks which breaks it up and helps it compost quickly. This product is not 100% organic we do not use herbicides or nitrate fertilizers on our paddocks our horses and ponies are wormed and received verterinary treatment as necessary but this doesn't seem to affect the amount of worms in muck heap!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
