Cath Marriot gives direct seeding a try




21/10/2010
Cath Marriot & family of Tarnook near Baddaggine.
Large 10ha site around an old shire quarry and gravelly outcrop .
Jim Begley DPI Grant
Wide 10 metre spacing between rows. Fencing not completed yet.
Remnant native pastures and mature Eucalyptus blakelyi.
Herbicide had applied the day before & we followed the wheel marks made by the quad bike .
The site was nice and firm but access across the paddocks was a bit hairy. The creeks and wetlands were looking extremely healthy.
Cath lead us around on her quad bike , we had some good chats about mutual friends and farming for biodiversity outcomes.
