Bringing back Mel vs moth plant pods! There are just five days left to enter the Henderson-Massey Moth Plant Competition and win some seriously good prizes: ecomatters.org.nz/mothplantcomp

Top tip: Make sure you pull the vine out of the ground too so it doesn't keep growing. While the pods need to be removed and put in your rubbish bin, vines can be left to die where they are.

Supported by Henderson-Massey Local Board.
