Te Atatu South is a residential suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. Te Atatu in Maori means dawn. Located on the Te Atatū Peninsula, it has coastlines on its eastern and western sides, with walkways and bike paths on both sides. Its location makes the suburb convenient access to to the city and Henderson town centre, and its elevation gives beautiful views of the city and the Waitakere Ranges.
In the 2018 New Zealand census, Te Atatu South had a population of 15,138 with 4,794 households.
The original Maori name for the Te Atatu area was Orukuwai. There is little evidence of early Maori settlement in the region, although the coastal fringes show evidence that the banks were used for fishing and bird hunting. Midden shells have been uncovered around the McLeod Reserve.
The European settlement started between 1853 and 1873 when Thomas Henderson bought land from Ngati Whatua and the Crown in 1855. The Henderson Timber Mill was built in what is now known as Henderson.
The area prior to the suburban development was primarily used for vineyards, poultry farms, fruit trees, apples, lemon orchards and flower farms.
Te Atatu South's main hub is the Te Atatū Town Centre, where Edmonton Road and Te Atatu Road converge. There is a small, light industrial area on McLeod Road.
Te Atatu South Park and McLeod Park are two major parks in the area.

A tip to make the edge of your compost pile a little bit tidier — this is the technique biodynamic compost makers use to get really tall compost piles with perfectly straight edges without any surrounding material to hold it up.
As Peter Proctor would say “look after the edges and the middle takes care of itself”
(Someone please correct me if I got the words wrong, I never got to make hot compost with Peter)
This is the very first compost pile at Raspberry Lane — we are now cooking!
Information on workshops, 1:1 coaching sessions and other services are over at raspberry_lane_teatatu
Happy composting,
~Katrina🌱

When we came back to Aotearoa in 2018 we wanted to send our boys to Māori pre-school. A foreign place for us at that time. But the whānau at Te Puna Reo o Manawanui have been so welcoming to us. Both our sons have been through the Puna. Nana Letty is one of the best influences on our boys, she’s like our nana too. And, Reikura was one of the first graduates of Māori language schooling, an amazing feat. Reikura and Nana Letty are champions of our reo and staunchly so. So, it was an honour for me to photograph Reikura Kahi and Nana Letty for etangata_nz recently. Reikura and Nana Letty also endorsed my application to study reo Māori at Te Wānanga Takiura, something I’ll never forget. Plus I got to hang out with my boy at Puna Reo the other day!Nei ngāku mihi ki a kōrua i āu kōrua mahi hirahira rawa atu. Check Reikura’s interview out on etangata_nz

‘Careful what you wish for’
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
A while ago I wished I had my own patch of Tradescantia to play with.
I certainly got it!!
Here at Raspberry Lane, there is a bank covered in Tradescantia & Jasmine, and I’m bagging it all up to turn to soil using separate methods to my normal hot compost.
I’ve gotta say it though… the garden I’m uncovering is magical. It’s almost as if these weeds have been protecting what’s underneath, waiting for the day for a gardener to invest a little time and energy to bringing it back to life. 🙋🏼♀️
Was this on my to do list?
Nope.
I have hot compost to make, planters to fill, garden beds to make, signage to guide people from the road around the side of the house towards the new classroom. And courses to write, emails to respond to, and a rural soil farm to build. 🤯
But this sort of weeding is what often happens after I do a biodynamic 500 stir.
Something in the land starts to pull me in a new direction, usually one that is every bit as important as what I had on the to-do list.
If you want to follow the process of my tradescantia alchemy, you can join the ‘Blue Borage Gardening’ group on Facebook, where a few of us are experimenting with non-toxic ways to keep Tradescantia on site without it taking over.
How would you turn it into soil?

We can’t wait to open the doors again and be able to see our members smiling faces but while we are all in lockdown why not use the extra time to educate ourselves. One of our favourite health & fitness podcasts to listen to while on our daily lockdown walks is “The Beauty and The Geek” podcast with biolayne and hollytbaxter . Educational and interesting with a variety of topics covered. Definitely give it a listen!

Meet Matt, our Mr. May Refill Pinup, and Lola! 👑🐶.
🌱 I refill because…
It’s clean, it's mean, and if it ain’t sustainable… it ain’t worth it! As consumers, I think we should all be making more environmentally-friendly decisions, as there’s power in what we pay for. We vote with our wallets! I don’t like collecting nasty non-recyclables when I shop, and Refill Nation helps me get around this. The cool staff keep the place tickety boo and always brighten your day too!
.
💡 My best waste-free discovery…
Glass jars. Since shopping at Refill Nation, I now use glass jars for so much more than before. They're airtight, recyclable, and can be used again and again. This is another great opportunity to ditch nasty single-use plastics.
.
🍫 My fave Refill Nation snack…
Has to be the roasted almonds! Immensely moreish and equally healthy. For Lola (aka “the furry bullet”), the dried liver snacks are her favourite, but, she still plans on tasting the remaining dog snacks on offer.
.
🤔 At first I thought eco-living was…
Whalesong, Tie-Dye t-shirts, world music, and dreadlocks.
.
🌼 But now I know…
Being sustainable is about making a conscious effort to look after the planet with what you buy, what you use, and how you live.
Delicious Strawberry Salad
Easy, but delicious salad that’ll get you in the mood for summer (which is right around the corner!). All you do is chuck some lettuce, mixed nuts, cucumber, capsicum, strawberry & feta in a bowel and toss. Voila deliciousness ready to go.
