Swap your fresh produce

Sarah from Taradale

Hi neighbours,

Have you joined the Magic Beans Hawke's Bay facebook group? If you grow your own food and sometimes have an excess, why not trade with your neighbours for other produce you don't have?

Magic Beans is about growing community primarily through the swapping of homegrown food and items that help with the production of homegrown food (eg horse/cow/sheep manure, pots and planters, compost, garden stakes, jars for preserving, egg cartons).

So jump on facebook and get involved today (don't let that tree full of citrus go to waste while you spend your hard earned $$$ on produce you might be able to get for free - and meet a greenthumbed neighbour while you're at it!).

POTTING MIX QUALITY

Patricia from Taradale

If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.
