The coming drought?
Today NIWA confirmed an El Nino weather event for the summer. That may mean a long spell of dry weather, so I'd like to share a system for saving young trees and shrubs that I have used with great effect and with a minimal use of water. You get hold of some plastic tubing about 6cms diameter, from plumbing supplies, or second hand from building recyclers. You cut it into about 1 meter lengths and bury one end of each about 15 cms in the soil so it sits upright over part of the root ball. When the dry hits you patrol with your trusty watering can and a kitchen funnel, filling the tubes up to the top. The water goes directly to the roots with no evaporation. Kia kaha. Mike

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
