I have a mulch pile in my driveway that needs to go into my orchard. Once I have the cardboard/newspaper laid between the trees, I'd appreciate if we can get all the mulch moved to between my fruit trees.
Does anyone have an excess of used 6 cell vege punnets? Wanting to propagate a bulk lot of vege seedlings for use with TTB Kai Resilience efforts, koha at markets, crop swap etc

Would love some seaweed or fish frames for the compost and gardens. Access to the beach isn't always easy but happy to collect from around Kaitaia areas.
Weeding, seeding, transplanting, lots to do even in Winter! Happy to have multiple Timebankers over several days carrying out this work (you don't have to do all of it!). Let me know what you're able to do, standing to seed into trays, or cultivating with tools or hand weeding, lots of options.

I'm after a little help in the garden at home please! There's always something to do, I've got established orchards and herbs, raised vege beds, a glasshouse with seedlings on a 17 acre property. After someone with a little strength for the heavy tasks I can't manage, and also knowledge about plants would be great. Helping with pruning and digging and tidying around the place. Tuesdays and Thursdays in the mornings would be awesome, for a couple of hours. Please contact to discuss further.

There is a large amount of dead plants around the Kaitaia Gymnastic Club. These need to be removed. You will need a trailer and some muscles.

Kia ora, This is an ongoing, longer request for support establishing part of a wildlife corridor between the Pukenui and Otaika forests. We are regenerating bush on our property in Maunu, situated between the two reserves. Our priority is converting ~4 hectares of kikuyu-infested paddock into native bush. We've started planting ourselves, but we are going to need help. The long-term plan is to get the property protected in perpetuity as a QEII trust to preserve as wildlife and native bush preserve. The first step is replacing the grass with native plantings. What we are looking for to help make this happen: *Plants - Particularly pioneer species like manuka, kanuka, large harakeke, cabbage trees, Pittosporum crassifolium/karo, whau, red mapou, makomako, lacebark, mahoe, five finger, etc. Do you have a flat of manuka or kanuka seedlings? That can help! Splitting or removing a native? Send it our way! We also have shady marshy areas of paddock which need reforesting. *Mulch - We'll need heaps of mulch to protect our new plantings. Do you know where to get some? Will you have some? Can you dump some here? Unfortunately we don't have a truck for pickup. *Planting - Assuming we can get the requisite plants and mulch, we'll need help getting them in the ground. This is primarily a wintertime activity. *Money? - We've reached out to lots of departments and organizations about grants and funds to get any plants or mulch. Almost everyone is tapped out, or waiting until they get new guidelines for funding next year. We've signed up for notifications for a lot. We've also put in inquiries with private companies that share costs. Another option is crowd-funding through the community, but we're not currently pursuing that until we've run through the other choices. Thank you, J & E

I've got a growing pile of hedge prunings etc that I would love to put through a chipper. Has anyone got one that they could bring round and give me a hand to put everything through? I reckon that there's less than an hour's work even if I prune a lot more hedge between now and you coming! I'm near the Intermediate School.

Hi we are looking for people to help get our large vege patch weeded, mulched and composted for dormant winter months. We have a buttercup and sheep sorrel invasion so it's going to need to be forked over. We are in waipapa, kerikeri.
Need help to maintain our big garden with weeding. It will probably take around 5 hours total to do it all. I have a big section !! :) :)
I have a large garden and struggling to keep on top of the weeds etc. Unfortunately we live in Westerfield, 20kms out of Tinwald, which may put helpers off, but I can help with petrol costs and you will be rewarded with beautiful scenery and my fridge is always full with refreshments. I'm so desperate I will award double time credits.

Kia ora Timebankers! Our community garden is not a community garden without a community. Are you interested in sharing your knowledge and experience, and learning from others in a garden context? Are you interested to learn how to grow your own (organic) food? Are you keen to just help out for a couple of hours in the garden on a Tuesday or Thursday morning, and take fresh organic food home? Do you just want to come along to chat about gardening and maybe bring some questions? Our garden is open to all. If you have any questions or want to express interest in joining us, please message us by replying to this request! The garden is behind Kaitaia Community House at 12 Puckey Ave, and open sessions for volunteers are Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8-10AM (summer hours). If that time doesn't work for you but you're still keen to come down, send us a message, and we'll see what we can do!
