Gardening tip - Weed mat
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
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)
.
