Taranaki LandGirls Event - A Productive Patch, Starting from Scratch
We start 2020 with a visit to a small holding, which started as a bare paddock 3 years ago, and has been turned into a productive food growing area using organic principles, .
Phill and Ann Tarr are hosting this event at their property on 636 Inland North Road, Tikorangi. Phill will share his wealth of growing knowledge gained over many years, as well as his "sieve" composting technique. All your questions will be very welcome.
A shared afternoon tea is part of the event, and chatting with others after the presentation may help to generate ideas for your own property. Please bring something to share to eat, but tea & coffee will be provided.
Also please bring a chair to sit on if you are staying for afternoon tea.
RSVP by Friday 17th January to Shonagh on (06) 752 0889 or at taranakilandgirls@gmail.com
Hope to see you there!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
