Hi Timebankers,
I'm hoping someone out there has some excess topsoil they are happy to part with as I need some for a new garden box I've bought. I'm based in New Plymouth so ideally someone here but I'm happy to travel to you depending on where you are located. I might be able to get a trailer but if it's not pushing my luck too much then borrowing a trailer would be great as well. My car has a towbar.....I need about 1/3 cubic metre if anyone has some spare.
Thanks in advance.
Kris

Come and help us keep compost and recycling out of landfill, keeping the beautiful Ngāmotu Beach area clean and tidy and helping the Seaside Market shoppers make the right decisions when disposing of their rubbish.
There’s also the opportunity to help tend the innovative wash trailer as the market now uses reusable plates and cutlery. It’s a great atmosphere and the public are so encouraged by what we do in this space.
Shifts available in March: Sunday 9:30am-12noon and 12noon-2:30pm, Sunday 9:30am-12noon and 12noon-2:30pm.

Be part of a warm and creative group of garden enthusiasts. Gardening knowledge welcomed but not necessarily required, just a generous spirit and time to participate.

I have a flat-pack drying rack for woollies, herbs etc which came minus the screws. But I also have a box of multiple types of screws - surely something would to the trick?! Also have screwdrivers, etc.
Could someone a bit more experienced put the rack together for me please?

Hi, I'm considering a rental property with beautiful, established gardens, but I won't have the time or know-how to manage them. I'm wondering if someone would help me to keep weeds down, shrubs pruned etc.
Cheers :)
