Getting ready for the Spring planting season. -

Raised garden beds are ideal for the family to grow your own vegetables or other plants and there are many benefits in using them including

- extending the planting season significantly as the beds will warm faster and hold the warmth

- allowing better drainage

- as the gardener doesn’t walk on the garden bed, the soil doesn’t become compacted

- the soil will remain light and loose allowing it to hold more air helping the vegetable roots to grow with less effort

- ability to reduce the number of weeds

- if using close plant spacing your raised vegetable garden bed will create a micro-climate which will contain moisture and further discourage weeds.

Fill with compost, mulch, good soil and fertilzer mix.

If you are looking for a raised garden bed or planter box see Out of the Woods Woodshop here on Neighbourly.

Hello Everyone ,

We went for a swim on 2-Aug-2018 and the worst we can imagine " Car got stolen" from the QE2 Christchurch car park and guess what this is not the first time and still the Council / QE2 have not posted any posters to inform that theft cases (of car and others ) have been reported from QE2. So please be very careful no place is safe.

Well my car was Toyata Ractis - 2006 Blue color but looks grayish . Please keep an eye and inform me or police if you find my vehicle.

With winter bugs doing the rounds, it’s worth knowing what the rules are about sick leave. So what are you entitled to?

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.

These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.

Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.
