As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...
The Kiwi day at the beach. It's what our summer memories are made of. It's an easy and fun way to spend a day in the sun - but is it still cheap?
We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.

We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.
First up: What do you pay for fish and chips? And what's the most expensive takeaway fish and chips you have come across?

Atm milk bought today is sitting in a bucket of ice/bottles of frozen water. I phd winz on Fri 21st to arrange new fridge. I phd Fisher and Paykel today (3rd January) to enquire when I was getting it, told no job had been logged. Phd winz waited 40 minutes for someone to answer. Told job still hadn't yet been submitted/approved. Due to call today it has now but F&P said it would still be at least 3 working days before I get it delivered. In meantime I'm without a working Fridge to keep my milk/food cold. So does anyone have a suitable small working fridge I can borrow for the next few days please.
Text/ph me on 0273901487. I'm in Lloyd drive area.
Many thanks.
