8 | selwyn gardening guide spring 2020 Perfect time for creating your dream pool A new swimming pool will make a splash this summer and you will find your friends and family will love your pool as much as you do. With summer on its way, now is the perfect time to organise the installation of your pool with local company Lagoon Pools Owners Julie and Warren Hastings installs pools sized from five metres to 12 metres in length to suit both large and small sections, with a huge variety of widths, colours and shapes. “There really is a pool for every site,” says Julie. Lagoon Pools is also the Leisure Pools dealer for most of the South Island featuring 100% composite fibreglass and, with patented innovations, every swimming pool is supported by their lifetime structural warranty and a lifetime osmosis warranty – this makes them the strongest pool available on the market. Pool automation is becoming popular with equipment monitoring and settings right at your fingertips from any location. Additional features including pool lighting, fountains and spa jets can enhance the pool area, transforming it into an extended living space where family and friends can relax in the outdoors, Julie says. It takes around five days to install a pool and the finishing touches can take from four weeks depending upon the design. Contact Lagoon Pools by phoning Julie or Warren 0800 927 282 or 03 349 2160. You can also visit their website www.lagoonpools.co.nz to find out more about their range of pools and other services they offer. www.lagoonpools.co.nz 03 349 2160 or 0800 92 72 82
SELWYN GARDENING GUIDE SPRING 2020 | 9 Landscaping supplies Organic bins Spring is the perfect time to get back into the garden and start filling up your organics bin again. The Selwyn District Council’s green organics bins can be utilised for garden prunings, weeds, leaves and grass clippings. Food items such as bread, dairy products, fruit, vegetables fish, meat, bones, coffee grinds, as well as foodsoiled cardboard containers and paper towels can also be placed in the green bin. Here are some useful tips to ensure your bin is fully emptied every week: • Keep the bin weight under 60kg. If you find it difficult to move the bin, then you may find it exceeds the truck lifting limits. • Keep the bin contents loose. Don’t compact your material by standing on it (it may not come out when tipped by the truck). • Place weeds, branches or newspaper at the bottom of the bin before filling with grass clippings. This reduces the likelihood of the grass clippings getting stuck. • Organics only! No plastic bags (including those labelled as compostable, degradable or biodegradable), metals, timber, sawdust, glass, rocks, stones or bricks as these cause considerable damage to the organics shredder. • Flax and cabbage leaves need to go in your red rubbish bin (as these get caught up in the shredder). • Make sure your bin is not overflowing – the lid needs to close. For townships with organic collection; why not swap your 240 litre red bin for a 240 litre green bin and an 80 litre red bin? You’ll save money and the environment. Unsure about an item?
