Paddocks for Use
We have a number of paddocks on a lifestyle block just out of TA with a number of fruit trees and we are currently running some sheep and a cute kunekune pig. We would be open to letting someone take over the use of these paddocks and they can fatten up their own sheep, in return for looking after the paddocks i.e. spraying, etc. You are welcome to also look after the fruit trees and we would share the fruit. We normally give most of it away anyway. Ideal for a retired farmer wanting a project with the added bonus of having some land, animals and fruit. Open to suggestions. Thanks :-)

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
