Because we all feel at home in the garden

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

For some, gardening in New Zealand - literally putting down roots - is a journey of a thousand miles (or more).

Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019

The Team from Wellington Water

We share our capital city with some surprising friends – native fish! Beneath our feet run a maze of drains and streams that our migratory native fish such as the Banded Kōkopu & Koaro have to overcome to reach open streams in the city’s hills.

We share our capital city with some surprising friends – native fish! Beneath our feet run a maze of drains and streams that our migratory native fish such as the Banded Kōkopu & Koaro have to overcome to reach open streams in the city’s hills.
Just because we put streams into pipes, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve mana.

It’s important that we’re conscious of what we pour into our stormwater pipes and gutters in our city as it negatively impacts the fish moving through them.

Come and meet the fish at Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019

"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says … View more
In the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.

"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says Nash, "and then meat sometimes a good month past its date. It didn't smell bad. Rinse it off, good to go."

It was all part of his year-long experiment to test the limits on food that had passed its expiration date.

Qualified Electrician Needed for signing off (Tagging) music gear

Michael from Berhampore

OSH strikes again with their rules and regulations. Need a local electrician I could take (or he can come around if he likes) several amps, mixers too get tested and tagged. Purely routine. Any recommendations of someone local? (who wont insist on charging a $150 call out fee for instance). Any … View moreOSH strikes again with their rules and regulations. Need a local electrician I could take (or he can come around if he likes) several amps, mixers too get tested and tagged. Purely routine. Any recommendations of someone local? (who wont insist on charging a $150 call out fee for instance). Any local working from home? Any appliance repair shop I can visit? This is just so I can use the gear at one venue so far but I'm guessing it will just get worse!
