I live in a shady spot at the back of the garden. I'm famished most of the time. The family sometimes forget to feed me. I would love some salad greens....
What NZ doesn't need – Newsroom. Great piece by Rod Oram addressing this country’s political timidity and lack of courage and ambition to lead - we are a smug lot here but in truth we are falling well behind other nations transforming their economies. newsroom.co.nz/comment/what-…
@X Fam! I truly believe that good #food, and therefore good #health, starts with good #soil, so I'm excited to say I'm having a contest for February and giving away a @hungrybin!
It's an amazing opportunity for one lucky winner to increase their soil #fertility and keep food scraps out of the #landfill. Check out the details, follow me on all my socials, and enter.
Info is included in this video and also available at realfarmerjay.com/contest.

No messing with trays!
When I was a kid, the local farmers said “If the Pohutakawa flowers before Christmas, it will be a long hot summer” It’s not even November... #ClimateChange#zerocarbon
My takeaway remains:
If you build cities for waking, biking and bussing, fewer cars are needed and we all get to live happier, easier, less disconnected lives.
You know its good when @ceresbrunswick chooses it for their composting :) @hungrybin aren’t called the world’s best worm farm for nothing – available (often with council discounts) from us at compostrevolution.com.au
A Manukau Road alignment for the City Centre to Mangere project would not only be faster, but the corridor already contains dozens of schools, hospitals, shopping centres to allow people to live with most of their daily amenities within a quick train hop.
I wrote last year about the steady, unyielding procession of broken climate record after broken climate record - and why we just keep normalising it:

I've noticed the Baseline shifting in my local environment as little as a decade... Things I took for granted in my childhood are now an impossibility.
There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.

Its current increase corresponds to each person on the globe producing more than their body weight every week.
