Jon McAuliffe The “Rock Star” economy of New Zealand is on all media at present, with tourism and construction said to be the main contributors.

I personally think we should look more closely at the improvement in agricultural product returns, with perhaps dairy, in particular, having a significant impact.

Land sales evidence would indicate prices overall are still strong on sales we completed in the autumn and without an over-supply of spring listings this looks set to continue; especially where there is good quality soil and irrigation water consents in place. Mid Canterbury farmers have the ability to react to market conditions and

shift production to whatever livestock/ arable options are most sought after, and therefore I believe this will remain a preferred area in which to purchase rural property.

There was much speculation we would be inundated with land for sale, but again Mid Cantabrians showed their resilience and modified their “operations”, or in

some cases changed their “operations” altogether to make their property a more profitable business.

I may be biased but where you have these options within the infrastructure that the Ashburton District provides, I believe we will continue to see enquiry from not only neighbours, but also from many other parts of New Zealand.

Make gardening easy Now that the warmer weather has arrived, you will be wanting to spend more time outside getting the garden in order. And that may include planting out your vegetable garden.

Raised beds make gardening easy and require less bending, they are tidy, easy to water, offer great drainage, and produce is easy to harvest.

wide, because this way you can access the middle of the bed from either side.

Plants that can root deep require less spacing, giving you greater production. With root crops such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips and beetroot, they will grow bigger when they can easily penetrate deeper into the soil. However, many vegetables will grow happily in about 150mm of soil.

Once you have decided the size and shape of your raised garden, you can prepare the site.

Weeds are also less of a problem in raised beds. Any weeds that do appear are more easily spotted and removed, and as everything is within reach, your soil won’t become compacted due to you walking on it.

If you are placing your bed against a wall or fence, it should be no more than three feet wide, and any length you like.

Decide what you want to grow and select a spot which suits your needs.

Vegetables or herbs like a sunny spot, and it is a good idea to have access to water nearby.
