all things new in Hawkes Bay

just finding my way around lsb, seems it will be a useful tool for us.... 1.6ha and a house to do up, all keeping us busy now in our new adventure (aka retirement!). House first then hope to plant a large area of natives and organise the paddock for chickens or ducks, bees?... maybe kune kunes and perhaps a goat or two to keep the grass down. Fruit trees and veggies too - should keep us out of mischief

Hi cook where abouts in the bay are you setting up

Welcome to the club. Careful about the fruit trees, as many of us have found, they tend to keep multiplying.

hi - sorry for delay in replying: now that I've signed up really should remember to check in regularly! We are in Nuhaka - keep hearing we have a nice wee micro-climate though we've pretty much had rain, rain and more rain since we got here. Brightening up now though. Thanks for tip re trees - we're a while away from planting yet but excited to see how we get on over the next few months.
