Who's poo!
...Kia ora neighbours, I am seeking help with two issues that need urgent attention in my vegetable garden's. I wake up each day to find Cat Pòó in my raised garden's! Have had 20+ years of cleaning up Dog Pòó so I know the difference. Any ideas as how I can prevent this nasty situation from happening would be appreciated. Also, why do I have to clean up "your" cat's crap in the first place. Damn sure you'd be up in arms if my dog craps! on your lawn, (which has never happened). One suggestion by a not so friendly neighbour was to use it as fertilizer but my vege growth is 100% no additives, no chemicals, dyes, or traces of meat products. Just water and mother nature!
Any useful hints, ideas would be appreciated!
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)
.
