favourites repackaged
The entire range of eight Yates Thrive Liquid Plant Food 500ml bottles has been relaunched with new packaging to improve its environmental impact using fully recyclable bottles which also use less plastic than the previous bottles. The labels have also been redesigned and use the latest UV-stable label technology so these products can be merchandised not only in the dry interior garden aisles but also outside, alongside relevant
plants or green life. This innovation enables a great up-sell opportunity for retailers – for example Yates Thrive Liquid
Strawberry & Berry Plant Food is perfect for merchandising beside the new season’s strawberry plants.
Also new from Yates is the country’s first certified Vegan
Fertiliser which is a blend of natural minerals and seaweed along with slow release and
fast acting fertilisers that feed indoor or outdoor plants for up to three months.The new product reflects the fact that demand for non-animal based products has moved from the
supermarket aisles to garden centres, says Yates.

Time-saving pile & post support
SUBBASE is a BRANZ appraised support for piles and posts which was developed to speed up the construction of decks, house subfloors, fences and any job involving setting timber piles in concrete. With the New Zealand Building Code now requiring that timber and pile posts
have 100mm of concrete under them, SUBBASE is a perfect solution. Each SUBBASE supports up to 400kg and the design enables one
person to speedily and easily set up and, if required, cut piles to length before concrete is poured. Proudly designed and made in New Zealand, SUBBASE is made from recycled plastic and is very cost effective and time efficient. Available in two sizes: SUBBASE 125 (125mm2 piles and posts); and SUBBASE 100 (100mm2 & 90mm2 piles and posts).
