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 drop me a message or give me a call

Hi neighbours,

Did you hear a "sonic boom" and see an object flying across the Canterbury sky? Many residents witnessed a suspected meteor this week.

The burning rock was at least the size of a fist – much larger than what astronomers usually see above New Zealand. Usually the objects are about the size of a grain of sand.

The arrival of a meteor can be impressive, with even something pebble-sized lighting up in the sky, Canterbury Astronomical Society president Euan Mason says.

So what did you think of the meteor? Where were you when you saw it? And do you see them often from your place? Let us know in the replies!

My lovely cousin and her 3 beautiful kids (aged 5,3 &2) have recently moved to Christchurch from Taupo and are looking for a rental home so she can get her eldest daughter back into school ASAP. As the little ones prefer being together in one room she is looking for a 2-3brm home. Fully fenced is a must, as is heating (warm/dry) and a bath. Long term lease preferred. She registered with local real estate agents today but I said I’d see if any ‘neighbours’ might know if anything properties available now/coming up. Thanks in advance! Cheers Jeanine
