Poll: What are thoughts on buying a meth-house?

Julie Kaio Reporter from Hauraki Herald

New Zealand has gone into a frenzy over the P problem, when in reality many supposedly meth-contaminated houses pose no risk to human health if you simply scrub down the walls with a decent detergent.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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?
