Natural Sequence Farming

I apologise that one of the above links does not take you to where it is supposed to, here is the correct link http://carbon-sense.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ashby-presentation.pps The professional farmers and graziers amongst us might particularly enjoy the different sizes of the plants? ;-) Ch...

Gypsyrose I am not a farmer but have some experience with fire fighting. For my two cents worth I would keep growth down during the summer, it will always regrow. I know it is nice to live out of the city,but seeing some of the photos of the aftermath of Black Saturday, there is no way that I would ...

Hello Shirley
Well blow me down! Apart from a few plantations of Salix alba var caerulea for cricket bats, I would have thought you would be hard pressed to find anything except Salix babylonica?
Cheers

Well one thing, it looks like it is not viable to farm 'carbon'.

Hello One & All
Please let me know of any future developments and this 'city slicker' can always make the journey up from Melbourne
Thanks

Let us hope an answer can be found to our water crisis. What about the much maligned 'Cubbie Station' Surely either some of their water can be bought back or their entitlement can be cut back (maybe it hasn't happened because the government likes its take too much!) I went for a walk along the local...

Here is a Powerpoint Presentation you might like to watch http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=91a1fbfdd8&view=gvatt&th=123a85c0b98ca3f9&attid=0.1&disp=attd&mime=application%2Fvnd.ms-powerpoint&zw We all have to make up our own minds. My own view is to not worry about what so-called 'experts' are te...

Shirl, I sent an email to DSE got a reply back saying the burnt areas would naturally revegatate, will let you know if and when 'Treeproject' replies. Sent an email to the 'Feds' about WONS status, didn't even get a reply. Perhaps we should all get out there and contact the 'powers that be' and see ...

I came across this site today http://www.treeproject.asn.au . They are involved in people growing seedlings at home for revegetation purposes. The site says that they grow seedlings that are local to the area. I would encourage everyone to send them an email (info@treeproject.asn.au) and lobbying th...

OK, will look forward to my garden being pollinated when the weather gets a bit warmer, especially as some of the shrubs in flower now have a nice perfume, hope it lasts till then?

I was working in my garden today and noticed that although there were many plants in flower, I didn't see any bees flying around. Is it just because the weather is still cold and wet or are there other reasons? Has anybody else noticed this phenomenon?

Allan Sheppard, John Glenn, Virgil 'Gus' Grissom, Scott Carpenter and Gordon 'Hot Dog' Cooper were amongst the first Mercury astronauts of the Space Program, apart from this, what makes this group so memorable?? No peeking below, you have to take a guess! ********************************************...

Who are the two handsome blokes on page 7 of this months Small Farms Magazine?
Good to see we are getting a bit of publicity

Duane There is a new greenhouse gas that puts CO2 in the shade. It makes up 80% of the total greenhouse gases. It is a deadly poison. It has been scientifically proven that exposure to this substance for as little as five minutes will cause death to humans! What is this pernicious substance..H2O.......

Sorry G By and large we 'guilty humans' (sorry I don't feel in the least bit guilty for eating three meals a day, watching TV or driving a car) are not responsible for the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Now while science, dramatically opposite what you would expect, is full of uncertainties, people...
