Exceptional beetroot

I’ve always thought beetroot is an interesting vegetable.

It’s incredibly versatile in the kitchen. The root can be grated raw into a salad, roasted with winter vege, made into a chocolate cake and more, and the leaves can be used in the same way you would use spinach.

It’s also incredibly good for you. It’s a good source of folic acid, fibre, manganese and potassium and the greens are rich in calcium, iron and vitamins A and C.

At Awapuni we stock two types of beetroot. The regular round kind and the less known cylindra variety which, as it’s name suggests, is a cylindrical beetroot. Because of it’s shape cylindra beetroot is great for

slicing and then bottling.

Once you’ve decided whether you want both types of beetroot or just one, head to our online shop at www.awapuni.co.nz and place an order.

Your seedlings will be delivered straight to your door and if you purchase six or more items we’ll deliver for free to a non-rural address or for just $4 to a rural address.

Next it’s simply a matter of working out where to plant your seedlings. Beetroot likes well-drained, friable (breaks apart in your hands) soil.

It grows well next to brassicas, like broccoli and cauliflower, which take longer to mature and spread out. This means you can plant beetroot in the spaces in between your brassicas, and harvest them before the brassicas start needing the extra room.

Alternatively, it grows great in pots. Wherever you plant, simply dig a little 3cm deep hole, place the seedling in the hole and fill in with soil.

Beetroot likes moisture as it starts to develop so keep your plants well watered. In around 10 to 12 weeks it should be ready. The great thing about beetroot is it can be eaten at any size, just dig it up and enjoy.

Insulate before winter hitsWith the recent

mild weather, you could be fooled into thinking winter cold

will never arriveBut it will and you need to be ready.

Good insulation and heating are high on the wish list of many potential property buyers, so a well-insulated home is a great place to start adding value and saleability to your property. And let’s face it, a warm home is essential to happy and healthy living.

There are a variety of insulation products available for both underfloor and ceilings, all offering excellent insulation ratings at a variety of prices. You don’t need to spend a fortune to add a lot of value. And remember that most prospective buyers will more than likely ask the selling agent what sort of heating and insulation your home has, so make sure they have the right information to pass on.

In this article, we will look at the main forms of insulation - ceiling and underfloor. Both are relatively easy to install yourself if you don’t want to get the professionals in.

Ceiling insulation is generally the easiest, cheapest and most effective insulation to install in your home.

It is also easy to see if you have any, and what condition it is in by looking in the roof space. If there is some insulation, you may simply need a top-up layer, or if it is wet or damp in areas, or has been damaged by rodents or birds, it may be easier to remove it and start again with a new layer.

If your insulation is not below the level of your joists, a blanket type insulation is ideal as it rolls out over what is existing.

Choosing the right level of insulation is done using a measure called R-value.

These values measure the ability of the insulation to resist heat flow

or sound. The higher the value, the greater the effectiveness of the insulation. Most retailers stock a full range of R-values and colder areas need a higher R-value.

To work out how much insulation you need, calculate the m2 area you want to insulate. Use the total m2 area to select the right number of packs required. To calculate, draw a plan of the outside of your home and measure the perimeter of each area to be insulated in metres, multiply the length by the width to give the total area in m2.

Select the correct insulation and the correct R-rating for the area you live before you calculate how many bales of insulation you need.

Coverage area per bale varies with different types and grades of insulation.

Roof cavities and underfloors are dusty and glass wool insulation can irritate your skin, so wear protective clothing.

When you are ready to install, place the packs on to the roof area and start from the farthest point from the manhole and work back.

Insulation should be cut slightly oversize for a friction fit. If it is too small it will leave gaps and cut too big it compresses the insulation material, reducing its effectiveness.

Leave a 25mm minimum clearance around vents, chimneys and downlights. Do not cover light transformers as this can become a fire hazard.

Once you have taken care of the ceiling, it is time to move underfloor.

Underfloor insulation is also a relatively inexpensive way to help make your home warmer.

There are three different types of underfloor insulation. Foil types which work on reflection, fibre types and polystyrene types. The different products bring different qualities to your home. Polythene down first on the ground helps stop any rising damp and makes installing insulation a lot more pleasant.

Foil insulation works as a convectional and radiant barrier. The main advantage of foil is that it stops rising damp and is great for working in tighter areas as they are installed in blanket format.

The general rule with fibre forms of insulation is that the thicker the product, the better it works. The most popular form of fibre underfloor insulation is polyester. The key advantage of fibre types of insulation is that they allow the floor to breathe while still offering great thermal qualities.

Polystyrene underfloor insulation

is great for dampening sound reverberation in wooden floorboards and also acts as a partial vapour barrier. It is available in a wide variety of widths and is installed between your joists with each piece cut to size and friction-fit up in place.

Many of the guidelines for ceiling insulation can be followed when installing underfloor insulation.

Joist spacings under the floor can often be uneven, so you will need to keep an eye on your measurements and cut accordingly.

Each piece of insulation needs to be cut at least 30mm wider than the distance between the joist faces.

Slip the insulation into place, pushing one edge against the face of the joist and up to the underside of the floor. As you push the other side into place against the opposite joist, the edge will fold down the face of the joist. This method helps ensure there are no gaps between the insulation and the joists.

Take care not to cover over wiring with insulation and cut insulation around plumbing, pipes or sub-framing.

A little time improving your home’s insulation now may pay off when it comes time to sell.

Exposed brickExposed brick can be rustic, idyllic, elegant or harsh.

Exposed brick can be rustic, idyllic, elegant or harsh.

Some people love it, some people hate it.

It’s a feature which can have multiple faces, depending on what colour it is, and how you decorate around it and when it’s done properly, it can have an amazing effect and make a huge style statement.

Exposing brickwork isn’t an easy decision though and is something that should be carefully considered before ripping plaster off walls.

Older homes typically have brick underneath the plaster on the walls, but who knows what sort of condition it’s in.

Exposing brick is something that must be done with care.

Temperature and moisture control can be one of the greatest problems with exposed brick in external walls, because in a hot summer they will transfer heat, while in cold winters they may impair your home’s heating.

Water absorbed through cracks may also lead to mould, or bugs.

Whether a wall is external or not, there can also be an issue with brick dust and crumbling mortar, and old brickwork many need re-pointing and should always be treated with sealant if you want to bring it back to its former glory and prevent future health issues, or additional housework.

A solution to that can be painting exposed brick and light grey and white are often popular colours.

If you want that exposed brick look, but you don’t have the house, the budget, or the desire to do all that work, there are always other options, like faux brick wallpaper. There’s also thin brick veneer tiles which imitate brick.

Exposed brick isn’t for everyone. Some people find it gloomy and shabby looking, but well-maintained brick walls can enhance ambience and accentuate style. It can make a room feel cosy and idyllic, or emphasise the harshness of industrial arrangements. It can make a room look cold, or it can add a certain warmth and rustic charm.
