Flea markets are all about finding and selling secondhand items. The ReUse market is for anyone who wants to downsize, declutter. Moving city? - we are great for that too.

The ReUse Market runs on the second Sunday of each Month from 10am-2pm. Vehicle entry is at 30 Kitchener Street and pedestrian entry from High Street. The market is for second hand items only, no new goods - you never know what you might find!

There's plenty of parking - for both shoppers and sellers. The market is on the ground floor of the Victoria St Carpark - up by Albert Park. (don't get confused with the previous Victoria Park Market).

Selling at the ReUse Market:
=======================
For just $30 per site, you can sell your own items at the ReUse Market and make some money from selling stuff you no longer use. The ReUse Market is a great alternative to running your own garage sale, no advertising necessary, no need for the hassles of Facebook Marketplace and TradeMe. You can sell from a table, or from the ground with a mat. Be sure to bring a way to hang and display clothes.

Also the market is undercover so need to worry about rain cancellations. There's plenty of space for shoppers to park in building upstairs.

Proudly supported by Auckland Council and the city centre targeted rate.

Where---Victoria Street Car Park, 30 Kitchener Street, Auckland City Centre

With special New York-based guest presenter and teacher Boijayanti, sharing her meditation skills and insights during her short NZ visit.

For most people the mind has become the master, not the servant it should be – how do we regain control, cultivate a quiet and peaceful mind, a stillness in the body and the breath?

These informal and informative evenings will help with answers, covering the simple but often overlooked essentials of meditation and sharing a toolkit of techniques you can practice and explore. Our guest presenter Boijayanti is a longtime practitioner of meditation and was fortunate to have the guidance of the late Indian spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy (www.srichinmoy.org) – she shares these inspirational teachings with humor and simplicity.

Usher in the New Year with positive new life skills, clarity of purpose and a peaceful mind and heart – you only need the sincerity to make a start.

When: Tuesdays / Thursdays, February 11, 13, 18: 7:30pm – 9pm nightly

Venue: The Fickling Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Three Kings, Mt Eden.

Free admission, however registration is required to accommodate numbers attending. Please register to Jogyata on Whatsapp 0221887432.

Backyard Awards: Best Loved Lawn winner

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Mark Elliott from Shirley in Christchurch has won the category of Best Loved Lawn for his lush green masterpiece. Congratulations, Mark!

We spoke with his about his process to keep his lawn beautiful and there may be some blades of advice for your own backyard.

Mark has a huge backyard so during Covid times, he decided to renovate the lawn and garden just for something to do. It’s turned into a passion.

His lawn is 100% rye grass - sourced from Prebble Seeds Turf World who supply many golf courses around New Zealand. In the summer he mows it every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, and waters the lawn with a deep soak of about an hour at a time, 2-3 times a week. He uses a granular slow release lawn fertiliser and other liquid fertilisers also.

Mark shares:
'I would say the secret to getting a good lawn is consistent mowing - at least twice a week. Maybe buy a bulk bag of slow release lawn fertiliser from a wholesaler. Keep the grass longer and just take the very top off the blade when you mow. It promotes growth, thickens it up and will really help with stopping weeds - oh, and water. Expect a water bill if you want a good lawn.'

The first photo below shows the 'Before' shot, 4 years ago. Give Mark a Like on this post if you think his lawn is pretty top notch!

Poll: Should our summer school holidays move to February?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's a debate that resurfaces each year as weather hits its peak just as kids head back to school.
Traditionally, we've paired the school holidays in NZ with the Christmas period, but would a shift to February make more sense for everyone?

Should our summer school holidays move to February?

• Yes, February would be better
• No, keep it as is
