A Challenge to all Local Bodies to equal or beat the ZERO rates increases already decided by some.

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

Many people, organisations and businesses have tried to ease the pain of Covid-19 by donating/volunteering or cutting/suspending costs. Others of course have felt the full force of the virus so are unable to do so - they may be the beneficiaries of the former. Worse still some have gone to the wall… View moreMany people, organisations and businesses have tried to ease the pain of Covid-19 by donating/volunteering or cutting/suspending costs. Others of course have felt the full force of the virus so are unable to do so - they may be the beneficiaries of the former. Worse still some have gone to the wall and there may be worse to come. One area where savings appear to be possible is local authority charges including rates. I see some have got the message but others are still to see the light.

As a nation, we recently held a moving ANZAC Day commemoration. So now is a good time to reflect on how we treat our military personnel during and after their service. It speaks volumes about who we are as New Zealanders.

Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Let’s not leave those who serve our country behind.

Can New Zealand do more to ensure that past, present and future service people - and their whānau – are recognised and supported?

WEED MAT......... Why I am not a fan and why its not good for your garden:

- Its expensive (doesn't do what it is suppose too)

- Effects drainage and aeration (this leads to poor soil

quality. Showed in image)

- Weeds still grow on top

- Weed roots snap off when weeding and stay in the weed mat

- Hard to improve the organic matter of the soil with weed mat

as it causes a barrier.

- Labour intensive to lay.

- If planting through weed mat you can drop soil onto it which then can cause weeds to grow on top of the weed mat, defeats the purpose of laying it in the first place.

-Plants planted with weed mat can get smothered and not throw down a good root system
