cheap firelighters

Mary & Dennis from Levin

are you like me, retired & too much time on your hands,wracking your brain for constructive use of this precious commodity ?
well i can thoroughly recommend this excercise in scroogonomy
once you have emptied your teapot & about to dispose of your used teabags try this
squeeze out excess moisture & place teabag on the windowsill for a day to dry out
once this is done get an old baked bean tin or other small container & put in dried teabag & add about a teaspoon of kerosene ( available from your supermarket or hardware store)
leave overnite to soak, take out regenerated teabag & put in a suitable storage container with a waterproof lid,this is for safety & to eliminate the kerosene odour
I have been using this method for the last 3 winters

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

💬 Our question to you: Do we sometimes overlook plants when investing in conservation?
Have you spotted this weed in your area, or noticed other local efforts to protect our native flora?
