A Green Party member in the Hawkes Bay has just written to me to say that he hears that Napier City Council has decided not to use the poisonous chemical Endosulfan on its sports fields any more, following Sue Kedley’s campaign. If so, that’s great news.

I had an interesting experience behind a bowling green
I smelled a pungent chemical smell and searched out the source – it was the club’s compost heap! They’d made a pile of clippings from the mowing of the ‘green’ and it was putrid in a very unnatural way. I took it to be the powerful herbicides and pesticides the green keeper uses to prop up the special ground-carpeting flatleafed plants they use to ensure an uninterupted roll-up of the bowls, along with whatever biocide they use to kill earthworms and free themselves of the dreadful scourge of ..worm castings! If only I could convey the rancid stench across the ether. You’d gag!
p.s. compost made from natural materials smells sweet.

Yay Napier City.
Stratford District Council, after having recently purchased it, have also decided after Sue K’s latest media release that they won’t use it.
Come on Manukau and Palmerston North – where the bloody hell are you?
