Cockroaches needed in exchange for chocolate!
Hi all,
My son won his school science fair and is now getting ready for regionals. His topic is “Cockroaches are our friends” and he’s seeing if cockroaches change the pH level of soil.
He needs cockroaches! The Gisbourne ones, which are dark, flat and have white around the top. If you can catch them or if you have a beehive or a shed where he can catch them for you, please get in touch. He will give you a mini mars bar for each cockroach found and we can pick up from your letterbox. Thanks so much. I will update this post when we have enough but at the moment he still needs about 60.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
