At just two days, the submission period for the law change was unreasonably short. But given how few people care enough about local body politics to actual...

Jack Tame: Forget your EV bias
February 05, 2021 21:16 - 4 minutes - 4.38 MBWhat’s the plural of Nissan Leaf? Is it ‘Leaves’? Is it ‘Leafs’? Should we lose the ‘S’ all together and call more than one Leaf, ‘Leaf’?

Ruud Kleinpaste: Summer watering tips
January 29, 2021 23:23 - 5 minutes - 5.25 MBWatering Techniques After a week with Temps of 37.7 degrees in the afternoon, it got quite hot for us on the Port Hills. Of course other parts on NZ had similar Australasian drifts of wonderful hot air and soil and plants dried out very quickly. How to Water? I’ve never been a fan of sprinklers. I try to keep my leaves dry as much as possible; wet leaves often give fungal spores opportunity to settle on the plant, causing leaf-spots, rots, downy mildew and powdery mildew. Try to water the...

Jack Tame: Get rid of cars on Queen street
January 29, 2021 21:05 - 3 minutes - 3.4 MBA few years ago, I asked my Grandad about his impressions from when he first set foot in New Zealand. It was the mid-1960s.

Together, the Tame family went for a look up Queen Street. ‘It was horrible!’ said my Grandad. ‘Just awful. We couldn’t wait to get out of the place.’ His midlands accent added an additional level of disgust at the state of Queen Street, back then. And need...
