Thank you for using Neighbourly
It requires disposal of debris and rubbish that was left there by previous owners, buried beneath the ground. I would like it dug and ready for planting of vegetables.
If you know someone looking for extra cash and experienced in this type of work, please let me know.
Thanks!

Route changes for rubbish truck drivers from November 30 will mean that some people have their bins picked up earlier than before.
Residents in central, east and south Auckland should place their bins at the kerb by 7am to ensure you don't miss out.
If your household already has an early start, that will not change.
New electric trucks are being rolled out for kerbside collections.
The first joined Waiheke Island earlier this year and the next truck is soon bound for Papakura.
When food scrap collections are introduced in 2023, all food scraps trucks will be electric.
Auckland Council said it has been "standardising rubbish collection services across the region, while also setting a goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040."
About 10,000 tonnes of recycling and 15,000 tonnes of rubbish are collected in the region every month.
Do you like the design of this new electric truck on Waiheke Island?

Members of the Smash Fit gym will attempt to row 100 kilometres over eight hours to raise funds to buy a defibrillator for the Papakura community.
They will give the balance of the proceeds to the Heart Foundation.
The women were inspired by Mark Taylor who rowed for eight hours earlier this month, raising $95000 for the Heart Foundation.
Taylor has a neurological disorder affecting his mobility, vision and health.
His wife and one of his daughters are members of the gym.
“We think Mark is incredibly inspirational here at SMASH FIT - and we were hugely honoured when he asked us to help him reach his fundraising target of 100,000 dollars," said Smash Fit owner Emma Dunn.
Mark will be rowing alongside the gym members for some of the event and heart health is something close to home for the Kiwi.
“My family and friends have been impacted by heart disease and the health of our heart is something that we all need to take more seriously," Taylor said.
