Get in Touch - Soil Workshop

A group of local farmers gathered at the Currabubula Hotel early on 27th September to hear farmers Ian Pine, Amy Perfrement, Neville Watts and James Filby present a range of information on the beneficial effects of soil organisms and their use as a measure of soil health,  and their interaction with agriculture.  A visit to “Surry Farm” was guided by James Filby who explained his use of multispecies pastures and use of his drone to apply beneficial insects and fertilizers, in addition to his work with TRLA with heat spotting drones to find koala!

There was agreement from this group to gather again at Werris Creek as a “cuppa chat” or KIT (Keep In Touch)  group – sharing  ideas and information on their activities.  Nicky Chirlian will assist to facilitate this group.
