Hay or barley straw available somewhere near Tai tapu or who will deliver

Kim from Tai Tapu

Hi guys

Does anyone know of anyone who has hay or barley straw to sell who is near Tai tapu? Or even better can deliver (I can pick up though if needed but if someone can deliver I’m happy to cover the cost of that)

I need it in the small bales that I can pick up and carry myself, not the big squares as I have a very small area that I rent and there is no way to get a large square into the area where it would be storing it. For the same reason I need to get a few bales on a regular basis rather than a large amount of hay/straw in one go as I don’t have the space to store more than maybe 6 bales tops and keep it dry.

I have a number of ducks and rescued ducks who normally free range on the halswell river, however there is currently an outbreak of either botulism or another toxin on the river which means I am having to get as many as possible of my ducks off the river and into a run to keep them off the river.
Because ducks are messy creatures who like to turn anything into mud, I need about 2-4 small bales a week of hay or barley straw to keep the run sanitary.

I have been picking it up from dawes but they are out of barley straw and it didn’t look like they had heaps of hay so possibly they will run out of that soon too.

Would really appreciate any referrals to anyone who might have a good supply of barley straw as first preference or hay as second.

Anyone who has some to sell can contact me by calling or texting 020 406 41485, text preferred.

Thanks

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
