🍄Mushroom/toadstool query🍄
My random query is thus, has anyone else who lives in the vicinity of housing developments experiencing a very heavy load of mushrooms or toadstools or other forms of fungi appearing in their garden, potted plants etc ...?
This may sound kind of random, but it seems to be happening in two places out west that I am aware of.
I ask as I have NEVER had any fungi appearing before this last year.
They have suddenly appeared since we've had a couple of large housing developments in the area.
With all of the soil clearance and scrapping of the remaining land preparing for the foundations, I was wondering if any spores of these said fungi have been dug up and are being blown all around the neighbourhood?
I thought that I may have been way off base, and could still be, but a friend who lives in the Swanson area has been experiencing the exact same thing and he has housing developments right across the road and quite a few down Swanson Road.
He seems to agree with my theory and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
I wonder what else the excavating has loosened and is being transported around the neighbourhood by the wind and all of those heavy trucks removing all the rubble and dirt?
What happened to the LTSA rules for trucks having to cover their loads, especially with loose rubble, dirt, stones etc ...?
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.5% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
