IS GORSE OR SCRUB ERODING YOUR LAND’S PRODUCTIVITY? Before...

After!

For an online video demonstration visit www.rurallifestyle.co.nz

We’ll make quick work of the tallest gorse on steep, hard-to-reach sites. Steep gullies and hillsides are often left for gorse to overtake because it’s too difficult to control. Spraying requires a lengthy die-off period and still leaves the problem of removal. Burning can promote rapid re-growth and can damage non-target vegetation. With our new 22.5tonne machine and its fixed tooth

mulching head we go where no others have before. We’ll turn gorse-ridden land into productive farm land quickly and efficiently. You’ll save on spraying costs and re-vegetation or re-sowing can start immediately. Any gorse regrowth can then be more easily managed and maintained.

HOMESPRING WINS TASTE TEST! Over 1400 people who visited our stand during Fieldays and took the taste test picked the Homespring membrane filtered water over normal carbon filtered water by almost 2 to 1! No other technology can give you the same degree of confidence that your drinking water is safe for the family. Homespring is certified to filter to 0.02 micron, physically removing 99.99999% of bacteria (like E.coli), 99.999% of viruses, Giardia and other protozoan cysts, chlorine, cloudiness and smell from all water sources. Yet essential healthy salts and minerals remain in the water.
