Eat your own raspberries all year round!

Richard from Rangiora

Grow a bumper crop every year and freeze the surplus for winter!

These raspberries are amazing!

Price:
- $20 is a starting price
- I have plants $5, $10, $15, $20
- The more you buy the better the deal
- three $10 plants for $20 is a good start
- For a decent patch you’ll need 5-6+ plants

I will:
- show you my two domestic raspberry patches
- explain how to grow them effectively
- sell you enough plants to get you started (for half what you’ll pay in the shops)
- explain how to avoid root spread
- give you a 2-page handout with instructions

Planting then now/soon will give them an awesome head start on next season (don’t wait for spring!)

These are fantastic fruiters (red raspberries - Heritage, Cluther & Lewis)

NOTE: Don’t bother with white-yellow-purple-whatever colour raspberries … RED raspberries are what you want … LOTS of them.

I'm also open to swapping plants for other produce including relish, jam, whatever you make (it’s called bartering!)

Send me a message and we'll swap phone numbers.

PS I also have some exceptional thornless blackberries for sale.

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post and we'll post the answer in the comments below at 2pm on the day!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
