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

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
