“Nutrient” issue in farming sector

5.99

P.A.

2 years

As irrigation development continues to expand in Mid Canterbury, and methods of application are modified and improved, so will your nutrient budget change. This may lead to a compliant farmer becoming a noncompliant farmer. This may sound very confusing, but with any possible “change of land use” situation, the restrictions that could be applied may be significant and therefore impact on your land

value, if you haven’t been proactive. There are a number of consultants who have vast knowledge on this issue. If you are considering selling your property, I would encourage you to either have the necessary documentation in place or seek assistance on this issue before the sale process commences, rather than during the sale process, as the latter could prove problematic.

John McAuliffe

Managing “nutrients” is a dilemma facing the New Zealand primary sector which will impact on both existing farmers and anyone looking to buy a farming property.

Gardening

Silverbeet - the new spinach

Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries Its cousin spinach may be more popular with foodies these days, but did you know silverbeet can be used in pretty much the same way – adding goodness to soups, pies, lasagne, pizza and dips? In my book, it’s also much easier to grow and prepare than its leafy green relative. Packed full of vitamins, this long-stemmed beauty is a great companion plant too, easily filling empty or ti ght spots in your vege garden. In fact, I’m often encouraging people to plant silverbeet in between rows of brassicas like broccoli or cauliflower because it’s ready to harvest earlier and it grows tall, rather than out. Keen to give it a go? Grab some Awapuni silverbeet seedlings at your local supermarket, Bunnings or The Warehouse. Or, jump online to www. awapuni.co.nz and have them sent direct to your door.

Speaking of pots, I find they’re perfect for playing host to rainbow beet. That’s right; silverbeet doesn’t just come in bog-standard green and white. The rainbow variety boasts coloured stalks, and leaves in differing shades of green which can really make a statement on your deck or patio – a healthy one at that. With coloured beet being a bit more sensitive than traditional silverbeet, pots also help keep the frost at bay, and allow you to position the plants for full sun.

Whichever variety you decide to go with, planting beet is easy. Dig a little hole and place the seedling inside. Whether you’re planting them in your garden or pots, simply space the seedlings around 20cm apart. From here they pretty much tend to look after themselves – just make sure you keep snails at bay with our tried and true beer bait.

only will it taste great, you’ll create a real family get- together for the two leafy cousins.

Your silverbeet will be ready to harvest in around eight weeks if your soil is well-composted and free draining, or up to 12 weeks if it’s a bit sluggish. Try harvesting your coloured beet when it’s still young and add it to a spinach salad. Not

NE W

LI ST IN G

The key to planting silverbeet is making sure your soil is well drained. If it’s a bit sluggish, try building it up

into mounds. Or if you’re using a pot, make sure you use a good potting mix.

Children's Rooms

Teaching tots to be tidy game. Hang a big basketball hoop above the hamper and see how many shots they can make in a row by rolling up their clothes and aiming for the hoop.

Create a storage space for everything If your child knows exactly where to put something, it’s more likely to be put away

Amanda Wright 'Muse by Mandy'

I’ll be the first to put my hand up and admit that my bedroom as a child was atrocious. My floor was constantly covered in toys and clothes to the point I could hardly remember the colour of the carpet! Disorganized chaos, it’s something that most parents can relate to when it comes to keeping their children’s bedrooms tidy. It all comes down to space and storage. Maximise both, and children will have the ability to keep their room tidier.

Turn toys into art Most children have their favourite toys, the ones they always ask for at Christmas to add to their collection. From toy cars to fashion dolls and even lego, if you find a way to display their pride and joy as an art display, they are more likely to be put away than left on the floor. Slam dunk laundry One of the best ways to get the kid’s clothes off the floor and into a laundry hamper is to turn it into a

than left on the floor. Storage solutions don’t need to be expensive. Shelves filled with ice cream containers, jars and cans can be made to look funky with a little brightening up. Spend a rainy day decorating containers and labelling them for purpose so every knickknack has a place.

Swings and hammocks The space least-utilised in a bedroom is often the top half, from the ceiling down. A hammock above your child’s bed for their soft toys makes use of space, and doubles as a cute design feature.

Toilet paper rolls Toilet paper rolls are the perfect size for storing all the tiny toys that normally get lost in a large toy chest. Best of all, they are a free storage

solution! Get creative and create a large pyramid, or even spell out your child’s name using the rolls against the wall. Colour them, cover them, these little storage tubes can be put anywhere.

Pin it or peg it After the clothes and toys are taken care of, come up with a creative solution for all the bits of paper that come home from school.

22nd Annual Classic, Vintage & Veteran Car Run - Sunday, May 3

Grease

Variety Theatre of Ashburton’s latest production Grease puts a modern twist on the original version. But it still promises to be a toe tapping experience for the audience with all the musical’s popular songs, and more, included. It runs at the Ashburton Event Centre from May 15 to 23. Director Alice Sollis has teamed up again with musical director Jo Castelow. The pair have worked together in many different productions over the years, including Mid Canterbury Summer Singing School. In Grease, they are joined by choreographer Julia Bell. The 34-strong cast – 17 lead parts - have met three times a week since February in their buildup to opening night. They include mostly seasoned performers from Mid Canterbury but there are some from just outside the district. The cast includes Nikita Hyde (Sandy), Luke Glendining (Danny), Greta Casey-Solly (Rizzo), Matt Williams (Kenicke) and Michaela George (Frenchy), T-Birds Chris

Woods (Doody), Awa Timothy (Roger) and Luke Cossey (Sonny) and Pink Ladies Amanda Fleming (Marty) and Gabrielle Stringer (Jan). Tinwald School principal Peter Livingstone plays celebrity television dance judge Vince Fontaine. Grease is a classic love story of boy meets girl but with all the drama, and comedy, of senior high school students finding a place in their world. It is set in Rydell High School, a 1950s era high school with greasers and jocks maintaining their cool as they vie for social supremacy - and the girls. The production offers the audience everything they expect from the popular show but with a modern twist. The favourite songs such as Summer Loving, You’re the One that I Want, Hopelessly Devoted and Greased Lightning are still there to get the audience’s feet tapping but Jo says the new version is better, has more harmony and more happening. There are also more group numbers.

What's

“People want to come along and know they will hear the great songs they know,” Alice says. And they will: however there will be a few additional songs not in the popular movie version featuring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Early rehearsals saw cast members focus on learning lines, before adding songs and now dance to their performances. “The cast is working really hard… everything is on track,” Alice says. The modernised show also features an eight-pieced-band, and high powered dance from a “high calibre, really energetic cast”. “We have got a cast of really great singers,” Jo says. Although the show is different to the original, it still has the best parts

with a modern edge. “I think the audience will really enjoy it. There’s something for everyone,” Jo says. The cast have been absorbing their lines and routines, their choreography, and singing in fourpart harmony all the while keeping the persona of their 1950s character, which they have been doing with “great aplomb”, Alice says. There are more than 20 crew involved in various aspects behind the scenes. Grease will be performed at the Event Centre from May 15 to 23. It starts at 7.30pm on show nights, with a matinee performance on May 17 at 2.30pm. Tickets are on sale now from the Event Centre or via TicketDirect.
