Hospitals have been emptied out and will be reduced to essential services tomorrow as thousands of nurses and healthcare workers stop work. The industrial action will run from 7am Thursday for 24 hours.

What you need to know:
• Canterbury DHB staff will notify patients if their appointments change.
• If patients need to check on their appointment, they can call the number on their appointment letters. If possible, quote the NHI number which is usually in the upper right-hand corner of the letter. If people can't find their appointment letter, they can call 03 364 0640 and ask to be put through to the appropriate department.
• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Otherwise, people should visit their GP or a local pharmacy.
• Free medical advice is available 24/7 at 0800 611 116.

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.

CHCH City Council

Marguaritte from Redwood

So I see that the City Council has paid for a $1.2 Million touch wall for the new library. shouldn't they have spent that on fixing the roads and all the pot holes, and I guess rate payers have paid for this too.
