Rock FM – Morning Rumble on the Artificial
Andrew Mulligan of The Rock finally got his own back on a crisp winter’s morning on 9 August 2018 when Andy Ellis a former All Black and halfback with the Crusaders appeared on the show. With his rugby career now behind him he now can be found pottering around backyards, quite the knowledgeable type about landscaping and proud author of Kiwi Backyard.
The conversation naturally turned to the quintessential ‘Kiwi ¼ acre’ and the inevitable topic of Mulls and his ‘fake’ grass was guffawed over once more. Andrew still was incredibly impressed by his artificial transformation boasted about his lawn and how good it looked. The raucous laughter abruptly halted when a photo was shown of his backyard in all of its lush, decadent glory, there was no more braying to be had. The boys were proven wrong because when it comes to low maintenance backyards artificial is the best.
Be like Andrew Mulligan, be a celebrity, stand by what is right by transporting your backyard into something to boast about with the Eco Lawn touch.

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)
