25.01.2022 How fungi make nutrients available to the world. https://m.phys.org/news/2018-02-fungi-nutrients-world.html

23.01.2022 2021 Magomadine Cup goes to Brendon. Well done. Happy Easter to our extended family and friends!

22.01.2022 Here is the story Ronnie

21.01.2022 Harvest is finished! Thanks to Ag Harvesting

21.01.2022 We went for a drive around our winter crops this morning. This wheat is on our Hill Paddock sown with compost extract and 30kg/ha of our own compost prills. Fingers crossed that the season goes with us

18.01.2022 Our tropical grasses 12 months after planting. We thought at the time we did not get a good strike but happy with them now. We are just letting going to seed.

17.01.2022 Sowing 2020 has began today. Thinking of all the other farmers during these extraordinary times.

16.01.2022 Our wick gardens have really responded beautifully to the recent rain and mild weather

16.01.2022 Rebel asked me to share this very interesting workshop in Lightning Ridge in March. If you booked in may be you could let me know and we could car pool?

15.01.2022 Another paddock inspection this morning. Linseed powering ahead. This should be a mass of white flowers come spring

15.01.2022 We ventured through the mud down to the paddock to see our sunflowers. The mice ate a lot of seed after planting and we thought that the crop would not be viable however some survived! We are very happy to see this!

13.01.2022 We were down the paddock yesterday when this dust storm hit

12.01.2022 Last weeks workshop here at Magomadine was a great success and we are holding another one this weekend for those that missed out

11.01.2022 Just some of the wonderful things I found on my wick gardens this morning. I think broccoli soup will be on the menu tonight. The rosellas are just statutory flower as well.

11.01.2022 Linseed is starting to flower

09.01.2022 [customer's voice] The following pictures are from a very happy customer of our compost prills. They show a sorghum crop planted in early November into a graze...d winter cereal. Some of the winter cereal had compost prills with the seed at a rate of 120 kg/ha in May. The first two pictures are of the area without compost prills. The second two pictures show where compost prills were used. The winter cereal was grazed and after rain in November the area that had the prills was considerably wetter with softer soil. As a result the emergent sorghum plant count changed from 0-5 plants/ mtr sq to 10-15 plants / mtr sq. See more

07.01.2022 This is a great article. The more we are aware of soil life the more likely we are to let it be and encourage it even during longs droughts that we are currently having. It has a great capacity to recover once this drought breaks.

05.01.2022 A lovely group of people from the Walgett garden club visited us last Sunday for a combined wick garden/compost workshop

04.01.2022 [How long will the drought last?] by Professor Robert Baker Professor Robert Baker has kindly agreed to come to Coonamble on Wednesday 25 September to give a fr...ee talk "how long will the drought last?". It will be at the Coonamble Bowling Club from 5.30 -7.00 pm. Please call Anne 0268256212 to reserve a seat and please spread the word!! This is exciting research that can be of real benefit for us I believe. Over 90 people have booked into the talk at Barraba this Thursday. See more

04.01.2022 Just love how the grass is exploding after the drought. Just moved my milking cow back into this paddock. We have sown some tropical grass seed in part of the adjacent paddock. It is not up as yet but hope it looks like the first photo in 12 months!

02.01.2022 Just thought I would share some pictures of one of our paddocks that we had wheat in during 2020. The wheat averaged 6.6 t/ha for this paddock and we baled a small section (24 ha) of the straw and got approximately 200 bales. We believe that there is enough cover left on the paddock to protect the soil microbes and animals to activate the nutrient cycle for the next crop. Thanks to Ag Harvesting for the excellent harvest work. These bales, made by Dave Canham, will go towards making compost for future crops. We prill our compost and then put it into the air seeder with the seed at sowing. We believe this further stimulates the soil biology. The rate we are using is 30t/ha at a cost of about $12/ha.

01.01.2022 Just an update on the new the tropical grasses. It is amazing the difference in 1 month!

01.01.2022 I am very proud of our son David. Kicking goals in the Burdekin

01.01.2022 Our first run of our new compost prilling machines
