How To Deal With Weeds
 
Weeds can ruin the look of your garden and too much weeding can ruin your weekend. In this guide we will cover some of the most effective methods for dealing with them.

A weed is any plant growing where it’s not wanted. They are often invasive and difficult to control and will compete with the plants you want for light, moisture and nutrients. They also attract insects, reduce air flow around plants and act as hosts of disease.

How To Grow Potatoes
 
We love our spuds in New Zealand. High in fibre and protein, rich in vitamin B and C, as well as iron, they are a meal in themselves.

Potatoes are inexpensive to grow, and there is nothing more satisfying than pulling them out of your garden, instead of a shopping bag. Follow the simple steps outlined ahead and you will be enjoying the fresh, healthy taste of home grown potatoes in no time.
