Native vegetation is Myall, Bimble Box, Wilga, belah, rosewood. Introduced species in our tree lines include gums and saltbush. We have planted around 10,000 trees in 12km of fenced treelines over the past 30 years and have fenced waterways to counteract erosion.We started farming/gardening organically and biodynamically in 1994, going 'cold turkey' on chemicals and synthetic fertilizers.We an implement rotational grazing and cropping program, green manuring, BD500 and preps as a seed dressing, pepper weeds, deep rip once in 10 - 20 years. We also, slash, mulch and cultivate our paddocks and only crop 25% of our land each year. We live a relatively self-sufficient lifestyle producing our own eggs, meat, fruit, vegetables, honey and preserves.Ray is not into social media so I try to show him my connections and FB page
