Have more produce growing in your garden than you can consume?

Just in time for the annual feijoa glut, a free community website called Ripe Near Me has launched to encourage people to share excess fruit and veges.

Users can list fruit trees on the Google Maps-like site, whether the produce belongs to them or is on public land, and even offer their own produce for sale.
