Pollinators, Predators and Pests
The vast majority of the insects we see every day are beneficial or benign. I hope this group will provide a forum to discuss the insect world and all the wonderful and occasionally devastating ways the bugs interact with our gardens.

Partnerships in land.
I live in Auckland. I want to leave Auckland. Unfortunately the wife does not. Not able to/ doesn't want to participate in garden. Possible compromise. We live on the edge of north Auckland. Or Divorce?? (Bit reluctant after 30 years). I have been looking at land for a long time.

information wanted.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I am looking for someone who has some years of the self sufficiency experience preferably with a hectare or two and animals but not essential. Who has a partner who has a major physical disability. My wife has a major disability and she is unsure of how it would work out. I would love to be able to talk to someone who has been there. If any one knows someone like this please let me know. Thank you.
