Lots of Swan plants
Hi Neighbours
I have an abundance of swan plants at the front of my house. There are about 20 near the front door that are 30-40 cm high that could be carefully dug out and replanted. There are also dozens of seedlings all over the rock bed that could be plucked and planted out.
Heaps of foliage on the bigger plants in the middle if you have too many caterpillars and need some leaves for food.
Call or text if you want some plants and I'll give you our address. 021332957
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.
