Hi,


CAN YOU HELP? 021 085 24 598

4-6 hrs work there abouts.

Retired? or semi retired? may suit some one who may be able to help, who is community minded and would like to give a hand. will recompense time etc.

Do you have a tractor? and plow? or type of larger Rotary hoe and experience?

We live on a lifestyle block, and since floods, food prices etc, we wish to wisely utilize what we have and, are planning to make a large Vegetable Garden on a piece of land we have at home in the country just out side Feilding, thus need someone with plowing experience for a few hrs work.

( not a hire company ) we need a experienced tractor driver who had proper gear, to help us plow/ build a large vegetable Garden. May take few hrs just to plow? and or a few hrs over a few days, what ever suits, flexible.

Is there any one who can help please, we need some one for a few hrs to plow up a bit of and on our property please. Will pay for the time/ work done, and petrol, use of what ever needed to plow a bit of land.

We are trying to be as self-sufficient as we can, we would be very grateful if their is a skilled retired farmer out there, or some who does this in the community.

Please no time waster, genuine Enquiries only thank you. If you have referrals that to would be appreciated.

Regards

Cat food prices

Pat from Feilding

Has anyone noticed that tinned cat food is more expensive than buying a whole actual chicken, per kilo? My cats are fussy and will only eat mid-price tinned cat food, and even that is full of stuff that's not good for them. So I am making my own and they are really happy!
