Mark Elliott from Shirley in Christchurch has won the category of Best Loved Lawn for his lush green masterpiece. Congratulations, Mark!

We spoke with his about his process to keep his lawn beautiful and there may be some blades of advice for your own backyard.

Mark has a huge backyard so during Covid times, he decided to renovate the lawn and garden just for something to do. It’s turned into a passion.

His lawn is 100% rye grass - sourced from Prebble Seeds Turf World who supply many golf courses around New Zealand. In the summer he mows it every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, and waters the lawn with a deep soak of about an hour at a time, 2-3 times a week. He uses a granular slow release lawn fertiliser and other liquid fertilisers also.

Mark shares:
'I would say the secret to getting a good lawn is consistent mowing - at least twice a week. Maybe buy a bulk bag of slow release lawn fertiliser from a wholesaler. Keep the grass longer and just take the very top off the blade when you mow. It promotes growth, thickens it up and will really help with stopping weeds - oh, and water. Expect a water bill if you want a good lawn.'

The first photo below shows the 'Before' shot, 4 years ago. Give Mark a Like on this post if you think his lawn is pretty top notch!

Poll: Should our summer school holidays move to February?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's a debate that resurfaces each year as weather hits its peak just as kids head back to school.
Traditionally, we've paired the school holidays in NZ with the Christmas period, but would a shift to February make more sense for everyone?

Temu experience

David from Rangiora

My wife purchased some clothing from Temu last year. Wrong size and not what she ordered.
Got a refund and they did not want the goods returned, so gave them to St. John.

Late last year she also received two parcels of clothing that she didn’t order for which her bank card was debited $300. … View more
My wife purchased some clothing from Temu last year. Wrong size and not what she ordered.
Got a refund and they did not want the goods returned, so gave them to St. John.

Late last year she also received two parcels of clothing that she didn’t order for which her bank card was debited $300. Temu wanted the goods back to facilitate a refund. This was no easy task requiring considerable interaction, initially with generic replies probably written using artificial intelligence.
We will not trade with Temu again. Buyer beware. Have a look at the number of negative comments.
