YOUR AUTUMN CHECKLIST

Timberline Contracting Ltd

* WINTER VEGGIE PATCH – The sooner you plant, the sooner you harvest. If you have green fingers, or just want to grow your own food, now is the perfect time to get your garden started.

We have weed free garden mix, seedlings and seeds. If you want a continuous harvest, we recommend planting little and often.

* MULCH MULCH MULCH – The recent rain has been awesome for your plants, however the weeds are loving it too. Now is an excellent time to lay mulch. It will save you so much weeding, keep your ground warmer for longer, and feed your garden all winter long.

* YOUR DRIVEWAY – This weeks crazy weather has definitely taken a toll on driveways. If yours is a casualty, its wise to fix as soon as possible. If left, water will use the same path as last time, and cause far bigger washouts to repair.

* FIREWOOD – Get your shed stocked full! Don’t be caught cold, or with wet wood and wait times this winter. Sorting firewood early can also save you heaps

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
