Kiwi Harvest works with a wide range of food businesses such as supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and hotels, to collect their extra good food that would have otherwise been sent to landfill, and kiwi harvest distributes it to over 242 charities across Auckland.

Kiwi Harvest has saved over 4811806 kilos of good food from going into landfill, all while delivering over 13748017 meals to people in need.

There mission is to prevent good food from going to waste and to help those in need throughout the community.

Yesterday, I got to see behind the scenes of the business and their passion for the job, when I dropped off the food donations from our staff and customers, to their warehouse.

When I arrived, I was met with a warm welcome by two team members, of which, one of them I had been corresponding with over email. They helped me unpack the food donations from the car and with social distancing and masks in place, they showed me the warehouse where they sorted and stored all the donated food.

We talked about the different businesses that donate food to them and what type of food they need that they are lacking in.

They informed me that basic food like flour, spaghetti and food cans were always needed and welcomed.

Kiwi Harvest were thrilled to receive our four bags of food and cans, and we are very happy that the food went to such a caring, passionate organization that makes a great difference in our community every day.

If you would like to donate some food cans to our food can drive during your pickup, let one of our friendly customer service team know over the phone during your quote.

What are timber fences and why install one?

Large, wooden posts, palings and rails are nailed together to create a wall or privacy barrier between properties or to separate sections of a property.  Timber fences vary in size, design and wood type.

Whether your metal fence is rusted, or your old wooden fence is rotten and falling over, installing another timber fence will save you time and money over many years. Timber fences last up to 15-30 years or longer depending on the wood that is used.

The Timber Fencing Guys use anything from pine wood to special dressed timber depending on what the client wants and their budget.

When do you install a new fence?

There are a few signs to look for when evaluating if your fence is on its way out and needs replacing.

These signs include:

1.  Loose, cracked or missing posts or rails.
2. Rotten or leaning fences.
3. If there is major damage or holes in any part of your fence.
4. Fences older than 30 years old.
5. If the fence isn’t giving you privacy or providing insufficient protection.

Why timber?

Timber fences last 15-30 years after installation and give you privacy, protection and property section boundary lines all in one.

Whereas metal fences only last 20 years and give you no privacy as they are see-through.

 Also, small dogs can slip through gaps in the metal fence, while wooden fences keep big and small dogs in the property.

How long does it take?

Depending on how long the fence is that you need installed, the builders work efficiently, leaving you with a brand-new installed fence anywhere from 1 to 4 days. If you have any questions please contact The timber fencing Guys here.

• It can help your garden to retain soil texture, temperature and moisture, which is especially important for your plants and trees over the hotter months, but can also help to prevent winter root injury.
• Over time, as the mulch breaks down, it improves the growing conditions for plants, adding nutrients to the soil and plants.
• It helps to keep weeds at bay, as suppress their growth.
• Can prevent mechanical injury caused by weed eaters, lawnmowers and can also help prevent erosion.
• Your garden will look neat and tidy, plus can reduce the amount of time spent on tasks such as watering and weeding, especially worth considering as you head away over the holidays.
• You can enhance the look of your garden, as mulch comes in various colours. This can help street appeal and worth thinking about if you are selling a property.
