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!

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
