Natural Sequence Farming

Foxdale Here again. Hello Shirley and duane and all the rest. Well I have mowed a hell of a lot. Last big mow was in the Easter/April School holidays. The boys took turns between mowing and riding their trailbikes around the whole property. Now since then we have had a drizzle virtually each weekend...

Nice swale. How did you get the picture up on to the forum page? I would like to show you the growth that can occur. Which way does the water flow accross the paddock. left to right? or right to left. which is the way I would do it. Push the soil up hill. Can you truck in manure from a horse trainer...

Hello Nik, Adrian, Duane. All things considered we are all singing from the same hymm book. Swales or contour swales, whatever, they sought of do the same thing. They slow down the water and spread it out and minimize the erosion. I have experimented with them for 8 years now. Shovel in hand. My met...

Hello there, Well Alpacas are better than sheep or goats. They tend to be able to work out that staying on this side of the fence is better than pushing through. They are nice eating at about 18months - 2years old. I say this because you will find it hard to sell them these days. Only the best are w...

I'll deal with Monsanto in my own way, buy Organic, Grow your own food, buy seeds from Edens or Diggers. Start a school vegi garden. (which I am doi...

OK Duane, here goes. Council - Goulburn, Used to be Mulwaree Shire, but Goulburn was almost bankrupt, so with the amalgamation our rates went up, for no return of course. Chemicals suggested. - Flupropenate. - Linked to Non Hodgekins limphoma. / Not to be used where lactating animals are or any mama...

Hello to all, I joined a while ago, but this is my first post. 1. I thought this started out as a weed thread, but anyway. To Mondo45, I have only a few so called weeds compared to you. Some horehound and rose briar. I now don’t consider thistles to be a weed. But as you, I have a load of serrated t...
