Natural Sequence Farming

Dust, you were closer at the start to the answer. This exercise MAY help you. Get a piece of paper, tear it down the middle. Put it back together on a table. Take a pencil. Draw a meandering stream/river where the banks are on either side of the tear. Thus the stream encapsulates the tear. Now open ...

Great post and find Dusty !! I'm guessing but BW&L crossed the Blue Mountains in 1813. They continued on to Mount Blaxland 25 km south of the site of Lithgow, on the western side of the mountains.[6] From this point Blaxland declared there was enough forest or grassland "to support the stock of the ...

Well done Dust. In an old, intact floodplain system, the streams were in the highest part of the system, creating a head of pressure, which pushed water down and laterally, recharging the system (-ve pressure). This in turn, is pushing the water in the floodplain up (+ve pressure) or as you have put...

How are you visualising this in a chain of ponds??

Nature strives all the time to achieve a state of equilibrium or Balance. In a farming situation, where stock are running, thy will eat all the sweet, edible plants extracting carbon (fertility). So there has to be plants in the system to restore or maintain that balance. Thistles are excellent in t...

Grasses are the final succession species and prefer high fertility. The high fertility zone of the Ao horizon, is where the interface of air, water and fertility is the favoured zone of most grasses. Deep rooted perennial grass mine minerals from deep in the soil.

You are correct about the tree situation on Tarwyn Park. trees as you know usually take a long time to grow usually >10 years or longer. once mature these trees would then drop 7% of their mass each year as leaves, bark etc to build fertility. Peter choose instead to grow fast growing plants that ma...

If you google Webb and Tracy, formerly of CSIRO Rain Forest Division, they have shown in studies both in Australia (E.torelliana (Cardagi) now in the Genus Corymbia, and in New Guinea,(Eucalyptus degulpa) was only one in a biodiverse mix of more than 100 different tree species per acre with only one...

Willows, poplars and alders are all good riparian trees.

Like ALL Government schemes, no sooner does this one get up, then they close it down. Go figure???
