Free cactus!

Matthew from Ilam

The wind has blown some stems of our cactus down, so we're offering them FREE to a good home! These do well in a sunny but sheltered spot with a northern exposure. Should take just by planting, and water them well to get them started.

The wind has blown some stems of our cactus down, so we're offering them FREE to a good home! These do well in a sunny but sheltered spot with a northern exposure. Should take just by planting, and water them well to get them started.

HUGE, beautiful flowers bloom in January, just after Christmas.

Note: These are VERY prickly--leather gloves will NOT help! If you want these, please come prepared to handle them. I move them with a set of old Healing 10 Speed handlebars, but bungee cords or old bicycle inner tubes will work as well.

Please phone/txt 022 050 3671.

Neighbourly poll shows changing attitudes to eating meat across NZ

Jonathan Milne Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.

>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?

The first bar in Christchurch's long-awaited $140 million Terrace hospitality development is nearly ready to open.

Botanic owner Daniel Taiaroa says preparations are on a "knife-edge" to open on Friday (February 16).

His is one of 17 hospitality outlets in the first stage of Antony Gough's The Terrace. After several years, delays and funding hurdles, construction is due to finish this month – seven years on from the devastating February 22 earthquake.
