Medium sized stones for drainage and 100mm Nova coil

I need a number of medium sized stones to line a ditch beside my garage. Water has been leaking into the garage and after removing the garden soil that had built up outside I have temporarily lined it with plastic (with drainage holes) but need to cover this in stones to keep it all in place until I can get a professional plumber to do it properly. The stones need to be of a size I can lift with ease. Ideally, if anyone has a 3 -4 meter off cut of 100 mm Nova Coil lying around their property that would be better than the plastic bags. I have tried to buy this from suppliers but they only sell complete rolls. Thank you.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
