Free Horse Manure
The Equestrian Centre has a mountain of horse manure that is excellent for garden organic fertilizing. There is approximately between 20 and 30 trailer loads or 100's of bags. Most of the "poo" has been sitting for over 12 months so is full of worms etc. If you want an organic manure you wont get any better and its free for pickup. If you want to take your own bags, that's great just turn up between 9am and 4pm , if you have a trailer (or similar) call "Cat" on tel 021464009, and she will load your trailer with on site digger.
The Equestrian and Vaulting Centre is a Not for Profit organisation built around the community. So while you are there look around a see the awesome work this organisation is doing for our community.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
