Funky Retro dirt
I have a load of fill. The house is from the late 60's/early 70's so this is genuine retro dirt. As you would expect from retro soil, there are loads of brown and orange colours due to J'ville clay (orange) and some top soil mixed in (brown). To top of the retro feel, there are a few terracotta edging tiles too, see pic. Currently the house is smoke free but I can't be sure what happened in the 70's. It is in used condition and currently has some great indoor, outdoor flow, mostly outdoor. Uncertified vegan and organic.
Pick up is from Johnsonville and is easy access for trailer or small truck. You can back right up to it.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
