πΏπ MULCH * MULCH * MULCH ππΏ
Mulch isn't just for blocking weeds and making your garden look nice. It also helps to keep the soil warm and moist. While it certainly isn't enough to prevent annuals from dying or keep perennialsrom going dormant, decomposing organic matter creates heat. A healthy layer of mulch can go along was toward protecting roots and bulbs from encroaching frost. Also, a thick blanket of mulch offers better protection for beneficial wildlife that may be over-wintering beneath the soil in your garden.
To protect your plants from the cold weather, now is a great time to add a layer of Coastal Landscape Supplies very own MEGA MULCH - about 50mm think over your whole garden.
Our mega mulch is a 50/50 blend of aged shredded pine and organic compost and will protect your garden from the cold, conserve moisture and also add valuable nitrogen back into the soil with the composts combination of untreated sawdust mixed with paunch grass turned over for approximately 12 months creating a stable environment to replenish nutrients. Because the compost has good bacteria and fungi feeding the plants naturally it makes them stronger and healthier therefore less likely to be attacked by nasty desieses or bad fungi.
You can buy our fabulous mega mulch by the 40ltr bag ($9 or 4 for $30), the trailer load (6x4 size - $50), or the cubic metre ($90) and we can deliver! Call us today on (04) 2936621 to order.

But for Evelyn Page Retirement Village resident Leonie, it is a game of skill that has brought her 40 years of friendship, camaraderie and many fun-filled experiences and memories.
So much so, that she has dedicated most of the last 20-plus years to umpiring the game. It is her way of giving back, she says, and now she is lending those skills to the upcoming trans-Tasman inter-village Ryman Roll Up.

Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.
What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.
