Critical skills
The Bombara's believe that observation and timing are the two most critical skills required in organic production.

“We learnt a lot empirically — making mistakes, observing the effects, applying what we considered to be the solution and then assessing the results."

"By observation we determined optimal planting and harvest times according to insect life cycles."

"We wanted to grow a variety of crops to get away from ‘one-crop’ farming," said Fiona.

Pasture improvement

Hi- I am rotating my cows through a few different areas to improve the pasture. Its only a small area - 5 acres divided up. After much research ,some to let grass go to seed then feed and rest- others say never let it get to seed stage ??  Bit confused- dont you need seeds to grow the next lots of grass or will they form better through spreading under the ground when the top third is eaten ??  Should i run the mower over when they have moved on to get more much layer build up ?

thanks

Kyle

Haven't Started Yet!

Hello!

My husband and I are currently looking to purchase a small parcel of land. We used to own land in Taralga but it was too hilly and rock based for it to be useful.

We currently live semi rural on half an acre, we planted a fruit orchard which is giving us some good fruit for ourselves and to share amongst the neighbours however we are hoping to go to a larger scale.

Small tractor for 10 acre hobby farm at Nanango

Hi all,

 

Interested in purchasing a small tractor with slasher and bucket, our block is moderately elevated so I am assuming a 4WD model would be the go.

 

Also have read some reports about Korean tractors including the Kioti brand and as I have had no experience with tractors I thought a question on this forum would be invaluable.

 

Kind regards,

Michael.

Hello everybody

Hi there,

 

I recently purchased a small 30 acre block after selling a 3200 acre property. I have decided to move away from cattle due to obvious reasons and I am jumping on the vegetables wagon.

 

Hope to get and give if possible good advice.

 

Regards

Rin

Capeweed

Hi everyone,

 

I have some capeweed on my propery (pretty heavy in about a 10 acre patch). It's not like I hate it a want it gone, but during summer the areas where it grows its so bare whereas other fields are still grassed.

 

Any ideas/thoughts....do I try eliminate it and sow something new or sow something over it which wll remain in the dryer months?
