Matt, 55, runs a Warre natural beehive and a medicinal food garden in his Redfern backyard. He says Airtasker was vital getting his business – Gather By – off the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe sharing economy just fits in with the way I work,\u201d<\/span><\/i> he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first steps for Matt\u2019s business was moving to into a new home-office, with his partner Jules, so he posted a list of jobs on Airtasker. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think I had six or seven jobs on the go that January long weekend – by Monday it was all completed,\u201d<\/span><\/i> he says. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t have done that with anything else other than Airtasker.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"Matt<\/a><\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s food-share garden relies on permaculture: an agricultural system which mimics the patterns of nature. So it\u2019s only natural the collaborative nature of the sharing economy appeals to him. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo be able to say \u2018pick up two tonnes of soil here and deliver it to the garden\u2019 is just fantastic – I love it and would continue to use it,\u201d <\/span><\/i>he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it\u2019s the convenience – somebody turns up on time and does the job.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s used Airtasker for rubbish disposal, sunroofs, gardening, plumbing, cooking and everything in between. <\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s hired Airtaskers to inventory and photograph his storage items for sale on Gumtree. These tasks free up Matt\u2019s time, so he can focus on his business.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt just clears so much space in my life, so I can focus on that,\u201d<\/span><\/i> he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMoney I invest in Airtasker is my time back for me, my family, friends and business.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

His business produces medicinal honey, which has natural anti-bacterial and antibiotic properties. \u00a0This unique honey is sourced sustainably from experienced beekeepers in pristine Australian bushland.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"20_\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Matt said bee populations are dying around the world, due to use of pesticides, climate change and intensive farming. To him their importance in regenerative agriculture building healthy bee populations can not be over-stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne in three mouthfuls of the food you eat can be attributed to bees,<\/span><\/i>\u201d he says. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
