The grass flowers during Spring and Summer, making it easier to spot. Look out for its purple-tinged, spikey seed heads and its lime green colour. It is a sharp, angular grass, not soft or droopy like most other grasses.
If you think you’ve seen Chilean Needle Grass, take a photo of it, record the location and email Council at: biosecurity@marlborough.govt.nz
At this time of year the seeds can easily hitch a ride so if you’re in an infested area please be aware of the risk and the regulations that apply.
We have six sets of medium-sized Vegepods to give away. Enter the competition now!

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys. You can also follow the conversation on Spotify and Stitcher. Let your friends know too!

However, it's said that this could be an issue for wide and heavy loads not having enough space.
Road Transport Association area executive John Bond says "Driver culture changes and education would be a better focus." Do you agree, or do you think median barriers are a good idea?
Our very own Sir Graeme Dingle and Nick Quin of SAP have taken on #DropYourBoss2019 and conquered it!
