As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...
Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar.

When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?
We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.
So roll up, roll up ... there's nothing like licking a scoop of ice cream during the summer. How much do you pay at home, and when you are away? What is the most expensive ice cream you've bought on holiday?

I’m just letting you know that I’ve set up a LORAWAN gateway in Weymouth and joined it to the THINGS NETWORK here in Auckland. Most of you will be wondering what the heck that is… well it’s a low power, wide area, wireless network that connects things together… mostly with sensors.
What can you do with that? In my case, I am running security sensors that transmit a message to me whenever someone comes onto my property. It also emails me a video of the visitor/intruder.
Other people are using it to connect rain sensors, tracking sensors (such as for cows), temperature and humidity sensors, audio sensors for recording conversations, a sensor for opening and closing a chicken coop at morning and night… there are thousands of potential uses…. most of which haven’t been invented yet!
I’ve set up a gateway for community benefit, which means it will be easier and cheaper for people in Weymouth/Clendon/Manurewa to connect the THINGS NETWORK using my gateway.
The network is relatively new so it will take time for people to figure out how best to use it for their own needs. I got a head start through my younger brother who came to stay with me for Xmas. He’s been developing security equipment that uses LORAWAN and helped protect him from a dangerous stalker back where he now lives. But, actually, I’m still learning how to use it myself.
You can visit www.thethingsnetwork.org... for more information or search google on LORAWAN.
