Aphids

Marie from Kaiapoi

Hello gardeners, i put a glasshoues up last year and its been the best thing we have done we ate lettuce throughout the season had nice sweet tomatoes and i even grow a capsicum in there. But towards the end of summer i had Aphids and i tryed all sorts of thing ( teabags,chives,soapy water sparys) but nothing worked and they were everywhere all over the tomatoe leaves i ended up pulling what lettuce i had in there and went back to buying. So i have baby plants ready to plant in the glasshoues i just wondered if anyone had a workable tip for me


cheers everyone happy growing

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Sometimes a roadside rescue enables us to explore our beautiful surroundings in North Canterbury. What a stunning day for it too! This one was on behalf of AMI insurance. 🙂
