accumulate.  So put excess plants in pots and sell for small donations.

As  Landscaper I grow many of my own plants.  Sometimes have surplus.  I also want to recycle/reuse the myriad plastic pots that 
accumulate.  So put excess plants in pots and sell for small donations.


Currently have 4 Acornus grass spare @$4.00, some black mondo $3.
Some aspidistra  type (good for tall borders and other odds and ends.
Strawberries for 20c small now, all planted in pure compost. Couple of renga renga - $1.
Also several Sedum Mexicana @$3


ALSO: if any neighbours are doing large area plantings I can sometimes have access to big amounts of common landscape plants - i.e. basic clivias, dietes, cannas.  For a reasonable donation I can bring home a quantity.  Usually these are composted or turned into mulch on site.

Negotiable

At a tense meeting of the council's Environment and Community Committee meeting on August 14, current erosion and sediment controls in place at the contested WeitiBay development were defended. How should sediment pollution in Okura be addressed? Are current erosion and sediment controls satisfactory? Do you feel sedimentation from urban development is a region-wide problem?

Do you support the teachers' strike?

Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!
