Turning garden waste into compost

Jenny from

Great weather for soil improvement! I always enjoy the winter for the speed of decomposition of all the prunings and woody weeds from the year, with several months good "rotting weather" before they become a fire hazard next summer.

Great weather for soil improvement! I always enjoy the winter for the speed of decomposition of all the prunings and woody weeds from the year, with several months good "rotting weather" before they become a fire hazard next summer.

Does anyone want a hand turning their garden waste into compost? I charge an hourly rate but am very fast. It's amazing how quickly a huge pile of branches and weeds can be turned into a neat pile of poles which lie straight and can be placed along a fence or under shrubbery, creating invertebrate habitat, while the leafy twigs and weeds close the gaps, assisting rotting.

1:40PM UPDATE: Bridge now reopened but with limited lanes.
_______________________________________
Waka Kotahi shared that the Auckland Harbour Bridge is now closed to both northbound and southbound traffic as of 1:10PM due to weather.

Damaging gales were predicted to blow up to 110km/h, while strong wind watches are in place for nearly the entire North Island.

MetService said the gales could cause power cuts in Northland, Auckland and Waikato, with the highest winds on westerly coastlines likely to down trees.

What you need to know:
- The Harbour Bridge is closed due to high gust winds.
- Vehicles needing to travel should detour via the Western Ring Route (SH18/SH16) at this time.

Rubbish

Bryson from Hillcrest

Found this Auckland Council notice printed on plastic on Takapuna Beach yesterday. Obviously been in the water some time, but finding it on the sand highlighted the irony of official attempts to control rubbish in public spaces. We each need to do our bit.
