The grass flowers during Spring and Summer, making it easier to spot. Look out for its purple-tinged, spikey seed heads and its lime green colour. It is a sharp, angular grass, not soft or droopy like most other grasses.
If you think you’ve seen Chilean Needle Grass, take a photo of it, record the location and email Council at: biosecurity@marlborough.govt.nz
At this time of year the seeds can easily hitch a ride so if you’re in an infested area please be aware of the risk and the regulations that apply.
We have six sets of medium-sized Vegepods to give away. Enter the competition now!

Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.
Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.
The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys. You can also follow the conversation on Spotify and Stitcher. Let your friends know too!

As the month of October comes to an end, so does the temporary lift in Blenheim's CBD dog ban. What did you think of having dogs in the CBD in October?
Median barriers for parts of the highway between Blenheim and Nelson are being investigated, alongside controversial speed limit cuts.
However, it's said that this could be an issue for wide and heavy loads not having enough space.

However, it's said that this could be an issue for wide and heavy loads not having enough space.
Road Transport Association area executive John Bond says "Driver culture changes and education would be a better focus." Do you agree, or do you think median barriers are a good idea?
