2 simple steps to a weed free garden!! 🌻🌼🌺
We all appreciate a well manicured garden, but who (really) has the time?? Lives are getting busier, people are working longer, and there's other commitments that really cant wait.
BUT>>>> We have some good news!
If you have the time to get stuck in for just one solid weekend, (get some friends around to help) we're fairly certain it'll make a huge difference to the ongoing maintenance required.
Here's how it works..
1) Weed, trim, prune & cut away any unwanted plants.
Most importantly weed.
2) Lay mulch at minimum 100mm thick.
This will suppress weeds, lock in moisture, encourage microorganism activity and feed your plants naturally.
Basically by laying the mulch, it'll form its own natural weedmat :)
That's it! All done.
We know that actually getting it done is a lot trickier than talking about it, but if you can just get stuck in, it means less watering, less weeding, less fertilizer and more RELAXING AND ENJOYING your slice of paradise.
Timberline aged arb mulch available from $30-$40
per cube depending on qty required.

Trucks Parking in Residential Streets
How do people feel about truck and trailer units parking in our residential streets? Manuroa and Airfield Roads in Takanini are truck parks every night. This is a safety issue as trucks and buses cross onto the wrong side of the road to pass them. They also block sight lines for people leaving their properties and turning out of side streets. Parking beside reserves and playgrounds means children are stepping out from behind these vehicles to cross our busy streets. The empty flatbed trailer units are hard to see at night, especially in wet weather. There have been at least two accidents in Takanini, one fatal, involving cars hitting these trailers. The Takanini Residents Group have raised this with the Papakura Local Board and Auckland Council, but as these vehicles are legally parked, we are told there is nothing that can be done. I know this is a problem in other areas in South Auckland, so I would like to hear what people think about this issue.
