Bruce Davison talks about the importance of building up nutrients in the soil.
Mineral plants take 95% of nutrients from the atmosphere and 5% from the soil. These plants are highly digestible, they do a very good job when the animals eat them. African lovegrass, a fuel plant, however takes 99% from the atmosphere and takes only 1% from the soil.

Heidi & Bruce Davison explain how they run their farm up rather than run it down.
You attract the animals up the landscape with water and feed so nutrients get left on the high ground.
That’s moving the farm on the right direction.

www.farmingsecretsblog.com Charlie Maslin explains the slow changes being seen on a deeply eroded gully when the water pathway is slowed down. Nearly 2 metres of silt has built up which in turn will mean more retained moisture and cleaner run off.
Charlie has recently been awarded the Carbon Cocky of the Year Award NSW 2010 for his farming practices. He has also been recognised by Dr Christine Jones who gave him one of the three GAIA awards in 2012. He is also one of the case studies for Outcomes Australia and their Soils for Life program: www.soilsforlife.org.au
