Bench Height Garden Boxes are a fantastic buy!!
Our Pop is such a clever man; he’s made these by hand.
These are such a great idea. Perfect for anyone with bad knees, hips or back or limited space.
They come in two sizes 900 x 1200 or 900 x 1500
The smaller one is $350.00 & the larger is $400
For that price you get a box made with ground treated timber that will last for many years. They’re fitted with an irrigation system that you just attach to your hose, filled with a compost topsoil mix, it will have a frame at each end for bird/white butterfly netting (netting an optional extra) + if local he will deliver & set it up for you so it’s ready to go.
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)
