Free Horse Manure
The Equestrian Centre has a mountain of horse manure that is excellent for garden organic fertilizing. There is approximately between 20 and 30 trailer loads or 100's of bags. Most of the "poo" has been sitting for over 12 months so is full of worms etc. If you want an organic manure you wont get any better and its free for pickup. If you want to take your own bags, that's great just turn up between 9am and 4pm , if you have a trailer (or similar) call "Cat" on tel 021464009, and she will load your trailer with on site digger.
The Equestrian and Vaulting Centre is a Not for Profit organisation built around the community. So while you are there look around a see the awesome work this organisation is doing for our community.

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
