Wanted - SMALL My Food Bag & KFC containers
Hi, I help manage Predator Free in Broadmeadows and we are looking for loads of small plastic containers (with lids) you may have gathering dust and taking up space. The My Food Bag or KFC ones are ideal (3-5cm). We have no use for larger ones. They will be used to supply peanut butter to our trappers.
Many thanks to those who supplied the first collection, they have all been used :)
Please drop them off at the
J'vill Community Hub at 31 Johnsonville Road (opposite the Mall entrance - see the photo).
Open Monday - Friday 9:30am - 3pm
Message me if you can’t drop them off.
I am also on the lookout for the woollen insulation things that come with My Food Bag for a planting project at Baring Head. Please message me to collect these.
Thanks, Owen
PS Thanks for the first lot of woollen insulation, it has already been used to help establish newly planted trees at Baring Head

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

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?
