Be careful in dry weather to avoid fires

Reporter Community News

Fire and Emergency are reminding people in rural to be careful in the dry weather.
A fire in Carterton on Thursday started after a tractor ran over a tyre rim hidden in long grass.
The fire spread quickly and crews had to work hard to save a nearby house.
Fire and Emergency are asking everybody to check paddocks before mowing or using machinery and avoid spark generating activity in dry areas. A spark is all it takes to start a wildfire.

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!

Roller

Warren from Masterton District

Has anybody got a concrete or water filled hand roller that they don't need anymore. I'm putting down a new lawn and need it to compact the dirt down.
