Moth Plant weed infestation - Help!

Sam from Matakatia - Tindalls Beach

Hi all,

I'm in need of desperate advice or help..

We've noticed a strong presence of the infectious weed, Moth Plant at our neighbours land, and I did what I could to eradicate it from my end, but yesterday I discovered that it's spread all over our land - literally everywhere!

Hi all,

I'm in need of desperate advice or help..

We've noticed a strong presence of the infectious weed, Moth Plant at our neighbours land, and I did what I could to eradicate it from my end, but yesterday I discovered that it's spread all over our land - literally everywhere!

Most of the area it's engulfing is at a cliff top which I can't reach without endangering myself.. Part of that clifftop is considered a wildlife reserve too, if that helps in any way.

I'm afraid that we're going to end up with tens and tens of bulbs now because of this, and the possibility of other natural vegetation dying off which is not only a danger to the reserve, but to the integrity of the clifftop as many of the plants hold it together.

What can I do? I can't win this war by myself and need help.. Is this something the council can (would/should?) assist in? Or do I need to call a professional to deal with it at my own expense? Or maybe volunteers that would be willing to assist?

This is based around the start of Tiri Road, overlooking Matakatia beach.

Appreciate your feedback.

Ta.

Countdown Orewa has around six baskets left, following the supermarket removing plastic bags from its checkouts. A Countdown supermarket is asking customers to return shopping baskets that have walked out the door since it ditched plastic bags.

Countdown Orewa removed single-use plastic bags last month and, since then, has gone from about 200 shopping baskets to around six. "There's no more than 10 left. It's crazy," Countdown Orewa customer service manager Marlene Williams said.

They said the supermarket would continue to supply baskets, but requested customers return their baskets for other shoppers to use. The supermarket now sells reusable bags ranging in price from 15 cents to a dollar. Damaged Countdown brand reusable bags can be replaced with a new one at no cost.
