Hi I have some spare worm Tea approx 10Lt for $10.
this can be diluted 10 times, so it can make around 100 lt of organic fertilizers. Great for gardens, fruits and flowers.
Pick up on constable road or can drop in if you live in Waiuku.
There's a new attraction in the Waikato's racing set - the Evergreen Drift Park.
Who's having a go? :)
