Limescale

Traci from Highbury - Westbrook

Just to clarify this once and for all. The water that supplies Palmerston North comes mainly from the Turitea Dam but is additionally topped up with water from groundwater bores www.pncc.govt.nz...,
Groundwater bores is where the hardest water comes from.
Furthermore, the pipes from one source are not set for any particular area of Palmy, as they have valves that are open and closed throughout the city, depending on the needs of the city and time of year.
The point here is that the city mostly shares the water from the same source, depending on what particular source, or combination of, is being accessed at the time.
This debate stemmed from a post about how to get rid of limescale. At the end of the day, using acid based cleaning products regularly and properly will keep limescale negligable. Avoid bleach based products (Sodium Hypochlorite) in the wet rooms.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
