I think generally grasses are fairly shallow rooted, so once you've dug your hole for your native you've opened up a space for it to send roots down below the root system of the grasses. That's my theory anyway. Species planted from what I can see are ...
Nice, I'm sure the kids will feel proud of that for years to come, There aren't too many jobs out there that involve improving the status quo (environment, social conditions). We need to be doing this on a national scale with the benefits of cleaning up ...

I thought I would have a look and see what Compass NZ does in the community. Looks like they sponsor Canteen and allow for their christmas cards to be sold on their sites. This arrangement is probably more beneficial to Compass than the other way round. ...
I don't know, gorse might be a quicker regenerater. I know of a couple of places where the manuka canopy is starting to break down and there's now five finger, totara underneath that will replace it. I thought manuka had a life of about 40 years, not sure ...
It's popular in some circles :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8GzZF9u74
We're not going to radically alter emissions under the current system of endless growth, endless debt, endless capitalism. The whole system has to break or a new system has to takeover the current one for things to change in a big way. Climate change is ...
Gorse is a real prick, it's full of pricks! And the prickiest thing to walk through. Doesn't cut with loppers, hard enough to cut with a decent saw. Hangs around for way too long (that can be decades). Then the seeds can last in the soil for years too. ...
Considering shes probably a multi-millionaire, she could just retire.
So are we aiming for wadeable rivers with waders on or without? Not sure if they ever made that clear.
A most engaging interview with former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis. Gives you an update on the Greece financial situation, a situation so bad you hope it never catches on here.. The interview is split over several videos https://youtu.be/...
This must be the guy who started this protest sign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT9xuXQjxMM
Well when the reporter Corin Dann presenting this on the news acts like a Government defence lawyer to sum up the piece, its a much easier ride for National. (News clip at top of page) https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/john-keys-lawyers-...
Still eroding National's credibility every day, like today for example: http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/political/302501/panama-firm-bought-nz-land-labour

The inconvenient truth that KDC was showing little ol NZ was involved in a global spying program was a little hard to take for conservative NZ. Plus the FJK video was confronting for them, but they're starting to jump on the Winston train now and there's ...
Looks like the righties can't bear to vote left yet. Although there's sure to be some surprise left wing policies within NZ First that they're not aware of... though is anyone aware of NZ First policies.
They need National then if it its to be a quick fix. They'll sell off their best players and still blow the salary cap and probably be thrown out of the competition before too long. Adding more reasons for National MPs to be booed off a league field.

Its on the feeds section on the right hand side, but its worth repeating for Anzac Day: http://thewireless.co.nz/articles/the-pencilsword-lest-we-forget
So much offensiveness in that its hard to know where to begin. Shes quickly becoming the heralds star reporter. The end bit where she says Otara can be recolonised by the rich and renamed Ostentatious Heights is pretty sickening.
I completely agree, my respect goes to those who are actively trying to improve society. Actions speak louder than words, and the people doing the ground work to make things better for everyone are few and far between. It's much easier to complain and do ...
Not many want to ask that question though, that would mean owning up to the fact we stil treat certain groups as sub-human. And living inside the matrix money hungry society we've created has some really negative outcomes.
Hooray! Basic Mind is back.
The expert being someone who worked under National's Jenny Shipley for a year, and who now works high up in an establishment position appearing on conservative tv. Could never see her coming out with something like this...
Basic Mind must have given you some commenting tips before he went off for school holidays.
Or how the lost sheep was a left wing activist back in the 60s until the movement started going off the rails or some such :lol:
Probably nothing.
Check out Episode 6 of Media take (30 mins long), it covers how we remember NZs colonial history and how we look at the New Zealand Wars (we tend to ignore it). Stars historian James Belich. Theres also an extended panel discussion further down the page. ...
Twyford knows his stuff and is clear in getting the housing issue points across. He just needs more air time, which probably won't happen in our media environment. After watching this, its hard for me to see who could do a better job really. https://youtu....
Interesting, thanks Sabine. "My first flipper" lol!
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
