PYO - Pick Your Own (fruit) in Auckland


Hey - we picked our own! (Massey Orchard, Auckland.) I must admit it wasn't just for the children. I had just read about making your own jam, and I wanted practice. But it was a really really great family activity. (And zero plastic container waste was involved!)

They should call it "Find your own" though, not pick your own. Most of the fun comes from trying to find the ripe strawberries amidst the plants. It's a challenge!

We picked two moderately full boxes, as you can see above. They weren't cheap - it came to $80 (NZ).

But it was worth it.

A WEED MAT supplier near me is a durable fabric or plastic sheet placed over soil to suppress weed growth by blocking sunlight. It's commonly used in gardens, landscaping, and agriculture. Weed mats help reduce the need for herbicides, retain soil moisture, and improve plant health. They often have slits for planting and can be covered with mulch for aesthetics and added protection.
