Hi there. Just wondering if anybody has lost a peacock?
It's been wandering around Kainga, Savage Street and Cawood terrace, it's been around for the past few days.
There are plenty of dogs in this area and I'd hate for something to happen to it.
Got any great ways we can all help the environment? Any green tips, tricks or habits that others might not know about? Share them on our page, and you could win one of 10 Countdown gift cards, worth $100 each! It’s all part of our commitment to helping our environment thrive.
anyone wanting some waterblasting done driveways paths fences etc pm me your details thanks paul

Raised garden beds are ideal for the family to grow your own vegetables or other plants and there are many benefits in using them including
- extending the planting season significantly as the beds will warm faster and hold the warmth
- allowing better drainage
- as the gardener doesn’t walk on the garden bed, the soil doesn’t become compacted
- the soil will remain light and loose allowing it to hold more air helping the vegetable roots to grow with less effort
- ability to reduce the number of weeds
- if using close plant spacing your raised vegetable garden bed will create a micro-climate which will contain moisture and further discourage weeds.
Fill with compost, mulch, good soil and fertilzer mix.
If you are looking for a raised garden bed or planter box see Out of the Woods Woodshop here on Neighbourly.
It's a busy weekend ahead with Botanic D'Lights, Game of Three Halves, Disney on Ice and more!

We went for a swim on 2-Aug-2018 and the worst we can imagine " Car got stolen" from the QE2 Christchurch car park and guess what this is not the first time and still the Council / QE2 have not posted any posters to inform that theft cases (of car and others ) have been reported from QE2. So please be very careful no place is safe.
Well my car was Toyata Ractis - 2006 Blue color but looks grayish . Please keep an eye and inform me or police if you find my vehicle.
