It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

Solar Panels

Doug from ClearShield Surface Restore & Protect BOP Ltd

Did you know just like any glass, Solar Panels get attacked by the elements and this corrosion reduces their efficiency?
With the addition of ClearShield glass treatment to the solar panels this prevents corrosion and increases light transmission by 8 to 11% and as a result an increase in energy … View more
Did you know just like any glass, Solar Panels get attacked by the elements and this corrosion reduces their efficiency?
With the addition of ClearShield glass treatment to the solar panels this prevents corrosion and increases light transmission by 8 to 11% and as a result an increase in energy output.
So before you fix those new Solar Panels to the roof it is definitely worthwhile to get them ClearShielded first. Once fixed to the roof generally they are difficult to access, so difficult to ClearShield and Clean.

ASB customers are being targeted in a "smishing" scam. They've been getting text messages claiming they've been locked out of their bank accounts, but it's really a ruse to get them to hand over their banking details.

ASB is aware of a current SMS ('smishing') scam where people have been sent a text message pretending to be from the bank. The 'smishing' SMS contains a link that once clicked prompts the person to provide personal information and a wide range of details such as login details and their Netcode.

ASB wants to remind everyone that legitimate messages from any bank would never ask customers to supply personal information, login details or second-factor identification.

The ASB Contact Centre is available on 0800 803 804 if a customer is concerned about any suspicious messages they receive. Read more here
