Is Upper Hutt losing its shine

Michael from Pinehaven

It is patently obvious to me that the UH City Council has tightened its budget on city-wide maintenance. Streets with their pavements and grass berms and vegetation which encroaches onto the pavement are been neglected and recreational areas such as the Trentham Park are not at all as well … View moreIt is patently obvious to me that the UH City Council has tightened its budget on city-wide maintenance. Streets with their pavements and grass berms and vegetation which encroaches onto the pavement are been neglected and recreational areas such as the Trentham Park are not at all as well maintained as was the case a couple of years ago.
Another good example are street lights - where previously a phone call regarding a lamp failure would have had a on-the-job response within a few days it seems now to take several weeks.

Also some recent resealing of roading has left much to be desired.

I'd prefer good maintenance of our streets to an elaborate library. The main library in Lower Hutt could be ditched for a "suburban" version and UH people directed to the main library of Lower Hutt.

Compost is nature’s way of recycling. Made from waste garden material, compost is an essential ingredient for creating rich, friable soil and therefore healthy plants. Find out how to make compost with the guide below and use compost throughout your garden for healthy plant growth!

HOW TO SET UP YOUR COMPOST SYSTEM

To get started you will need a good structure or container to hold your compost. Reln Garden Compost Bins are a great option, or you could build your own, for example out of plastic bins or pallets, or create a compost heap. Look online for more ideas.

Choose a sunny position for your compost system and ensure it is easily accessible for adding ingredients and regular mixing.

Prepare your compost in layers that are a blend of carbon and nitrogen. This means adding a mix of organic garden and kitchen waste materials.

Carbon: Leaves, sticks, twigs and newspaper.

Nitrogen: Fruit and vegetable kitchen scraps, lawn clippings, egg shells, coffee grounds, tea leaves and sheep pellets.

Avoid adding: meat, dairy products or bread as these can attract unwanted pests. Don’t add any diseased plant material, to avoid spreading the disease.

A good rule of thumb is to add nothing larger than your little finger. Break up larger items like sticks, twigs and cardboard before adding them, to help them break down more quickly.

Layer materials evenly, making sure each layer is no thicker than 10cm. For every layer of backyard and garden waste, add a layer of kitchen waste material.

To help get the composting process underway you can add some existing compost to each layer. Add a little water with each layer and mix the material every few additions.

Put a lid on your compost bin to enable it to decompose quickly. Mix your compost regularly. It is compost when it is dark brown and smells earthy - it takes six to eight weeks to fully mature.

USING COMPOST IN YOUR GARDEN

Compost has a variety of benefits when used in your garden. It replaces nutrients that have been removed during a growing season, improves soil structure and increases the amount of oxygen available to plants.

Compost also conditions soil, improves moisture retention, increases earthworm activity and improves fertiliser use by plants.

For best results compost should be dug into the soil. Don’t plant directly into compost as this can burn plant roots.

The content of your compost bin should have the consistency of a damp sponge. If your compost gets a bit too wet, adding paper will help soak up excess water.

Apply 100g (approximately 10 tablespoons) of Tui Compost Enhancer per square metre to help speed up compost decomposition and keep away flies.
