Direct seeding
Revegetation using direct seeding
Our revegetation program on Raakajlim includes direct seeding (sowing seed directly into seeding furrows). We use mainly native Pine, Wattle and Saltbush in the seed mix. This year we also added pelletised worm poo to boost soil microbes @wormhitptyltd
10 kg of seed means over 30 km of seeding lines!
“The future is electric ...” Yep, I really said that. Loving our new electric side-by-side vehicle. Quiet, and no more stinky fuel or exhaust emissions. Now that we’ve charged the battery a few times, we’re confident the EV will work all day in the paddock. Then home to be charged from our solar panels.
Our local ABC did a great interview and story on electric vehicles in farming, describing our experience and also the Agriculture Victoria Ellinbank farm in West Gippsland: https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2022-06-05/electric-vehicles-side-by-side-farm-inputs-environment/101121922
