Do Ya Bit - Urban Food
Do Ya Bit's urban food advice can help you with a range of food related topics. Whether you want to know how to build raised garden beds, where your nearest community garden is, or where you can take a permaculture course, contact us on 0800 326 628 or email doyabit@ecomatters.org.nz to find out.
Getting the best quality local food for yourself and your family can be a struggle. There are multiple stores to visit, traffic to fight through, questions about where produce really comes from, and how many chemicals have been sprayed onto the food you are about to consume. Growing your own food is part of the solution to this dilemma. If you have a good, sunny, sheltered space for a garden the job becomes easier, however, even if you don’t have the ideal backyard to grow veggies in, you can join forces with your neighbours or become part of a local community garden.
We aim to have information on this page to help with the most common problems faced by gardeners in Auckland, handy tips to grow certain foods and DIY instructions to help you save money on a variety of projects.
