Hawke's Bay Show
Did you know that they have competitions for people who knit, sew, embroider, make chutney or relish, do woodwork and more? If you enter an item into the show, the entry fee is $5 per item but you get a free ticket to the show, which would cost you $15 otherwise.
What used to be called "Homecrafts" has so few entries and categories compared to 2017 when I last entered partly due to a lack of promotion, so if you can, please put something in the Show to help make it what it used to be. The show is only held over 2 days now too.

POTTING MIX QUALITY
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.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
