Consists of a total of 25 fibre glass rods that are 430mm long with metal joiners.
Photo shows how it looks with using 4 rods. Therefore with the 25 rods their is obviously enough to then spread out a system using a total of six units at this selection to cover garden plants with plastic or insect netting up to say 3 or more metres long. You will note I have put some black insulation tape on each joint fixer to add some strength-,but probably not needed.
I have two similar complete units available and if you take both I will throw in an assortment of insect netting.
$10. Per set

We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.
Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.
We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.
Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.
Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.
We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.
It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.
Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...

Geraniums give a great show right through dry Summers.
This one has double pink and white flowers,

Lilies are stand alone stars, look good against a fence or at back of a flower border.
They are greedy feeders to do their best, but are resilient to most soils. They die down to corms in the winter then come to life in the Spring and flower about Christmas time.
Update 3rd Jan. The 2nd bud has come out . Next year it will be bigger and better once in the fround.

Mitre 10 Masterton staff misinterpreted the promotion’s terms & conditions, as can be seen in the screenshot of the email I received in response to my query after my partner redeemed a $200 Mitre 10 Gift Card and was told she was ineligible for two $20 Store Cards
