Beautiful macadamias blossom #spring @drexharris

Multi-species #covercrop thriving without artificial fertiliser seed coated with Johnson-Su BEAM, Nutrisoil worm extract, TM, Serenade Prime and specified rhizobium innoculums Hafia Clover is huge & trying to compete with Field Pea and Radish #regenerativeagriculture #soilbiology

Biological control at work. Friendly lady bird beetle munching on aphids, crop pests

@jasonmauck1 What a bloody ripper Jason. Your relay crop just keep improving

[D Rex Harris @drexharris]

@jasonmauck1 Brilliant Jason

[D Rex Harris @drexharris]

Learning by observation. Notice the huge difference in #covercrops planted the same day. 1st photo had only 1 previous CC priming the soil. 2nd photo has had 8 previous CC's. #regenerativeagriculture in action. #soilhealth @SoilsforLife @AusMacadamias

[The Counter @TheCounter]

Regenerative agriculture is now a policy focus point, corporate buzzword, and rallying cry.

But no agrees on what the loosely defined movement's aims and goals really should be. https://t.co/n2hO8JWVtF

[David Jones @David_Agronomy]

I'm not normally a tillage-basher, but when you see so many farmers out there disc ploughing, compacting, pulverising and literally blowing their soil away, views like this notill really make you sit up & think about the responsibility farmers have to future generations.

[D Rex Harris @drexharris]

@allan_lill Fantastic @allan_lill will some of the seed be available from Pasture Genetics in Australia. We would love to include this seed in our #covercrop mix. Any idea when the seed could be available?

@CoverCropCoach

Animals do most of the work.
Create value to the System and bottom line...or at least hedge risks.

Naked #covercrop seed and the #rhizophagy cycle showing the power of nature. No fertiliser just the #endophyte microbes associated with the seed and legume rhizobium inoculum. #soilhealth @AusMacadamias #regenerativeagriculture #soilbiology #BeneficialInsects @AusCoverCrop

@BolavenBerries @AusMacadamias @AusCoverCrop Sorry @BolavenBerries I should have mentioned it's Namoi Hairy Vetch. We broadcast Vetch and annual rye under the drip line of our Macadamia Trees straight after harvest late August. We leave it grow until Jan then mulch it down in prep for next harvest commencing Mar

[D Rex Harris @drexharris]

Notice the fine hairs on the vetch leaves. No wonder it is so good at harvesting moisture from the air. It’s my favourite #covercrop plant for its excellent eco system services within the our orchard. #soilhealth @AusMacadamias #regenerativeagriculture #soilbiology @AusCoverCrop

[D Rex Harris @drexharris]

@allan_lill Wow that's an impressive set pod count. I imagine the yield will be excellent

[Jason Mauck @jasonmauck1]

What would the world look like IF we looked at nature as the paramount technology?

Would we be harvesting 7k bu | hr of corn with x9's or grazing pigs under apple trees?
