Free Borage Plants
We are right in the middle of Hastings and have a lot of self seeded Borage plants to give away. These are about 20cm x 20cm and are still in the garden.
Borage is great for attracting bees to your garden and will normally thrive in any conditions. If no one's interested it's all going in the compost bin in the next week or so.
If you are interested text Chris on (027) 5340585 You will need to bring your own pot or container as we don't have any spares.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
