Bonsai pots

LuAnne from Beach Haven

I am looking for bonsai pots, even if not in the best-looking condition. The new ones are all the same and I want the old look which will probably be hidden in the recesses of the garden shed or garage. Thanks for any help. Cheers

Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.

Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.

If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726

Check out Own Your Online scam checklist here.

Update on Fruit Fly - Grass Clippings, Food Scraps, Public Bins

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

I've received clarification from MPI on how those in Zone A and Zone B should handle grass clippings. Below is also info on the food scraps collection and an update on public bin locations.

I've received clarification from MPI on how those in Zone A and Zone B should handle grass clippings. Below is also info on the food scraps collection and an update on public bin locations.

GRASS CLIPPINGS:
If you live in Zone A:
If you have no fruit trees on your property, dispose of your lawn clippings as you normally would.

If you do have fruit trees:
* Put your lawn clippings in the biosecurity collection bins on your property.
* You can also continue to use green waste bags or bins for your clippings - MPI will also manage this waste.
* If you normally leave your clippings on your property, you can continue to do so.

If you live in Zone B:
If you have no fruit trees on your property, dispose of your lawn clippings as you usually would.

If you do have fruit trees:
* Put your lawn clippings in the public biosecurity collection bins. These can be found roughly every 400 metres and at every exit around the perimeter of Zone B.
* You can also continue to use green waste bags or bins for your clippings - MPI will also manage this waste.
* If you normally leave your clippings on your property, you can continue to do so.

RUBBISH BIN LOCATIONS:
Every household in Zone A has been issued with it's own biosecurity bin.
For Zone B, a public biosecurity bin has been positioned roughly every 400 metres and at every exit around the perimeter of Zone B.
The MPI team is currently on the ground geotagging the bins, and hope to have an accurate map of all bin locations up on their website by the end of tomorrow (Weds).

FOOD SCRAP COLLECTION:
➡️ ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

If you live in Zone A, there will be no food scraps collections until further notice. All food scraps (fruit, vege, meat, cooked meal scraps, dairy products, rice and pasta etc) should also go into your biosecurity bin.

If you live in Zone B, the food scrap collection will continue, however any homegrown produce waste and garden waste (including grass clippings) must be disposed of in the public biosecurity bins.
