Urban Farm and Composting Project
We are excited to be able to offer the residents of Upper Hutt two amazing new services that are good for our health and the environment - Mahinga Kai Gardens and Mahinga Kai Composting
1. Several gardens around the city, all producing nutrient rich, naturally fertilised spray-free vegetables. Initially Upper Hutt residents can purchase these vegetables through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system. Support a local farmer and a local family.
2. A Composting Program where we collect kitchen green waste from homes or businesses.

Same Again Dan
Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
