19.01.2022 Follow me on this... Relationship. noun: "the way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected." ... -Oxford Dictionary Over our lives, we have many different relationships, with people, employment, pets and our land. Relationships can have both positive and negative interactions and you have probably found over your lifetime that it takes a lot of work to maintain healthy relationships. You need to nurture the balance of give and take & that balance in the relationship with your land is no different to that of your spouse or friend. We can't continue to take from our land and not give back, things like stock on land which are constantly eating, compacting the ground, grazing weeds- we are going to form negative relationships. The land can only give so much before it has nothing left to give. To maintain a good relationship with our land we recommend things like fertilizing, aerating and spraying of weeds. These acts of kindness help our land to rejuvenate and flourish into there full potential thus nurturing the relationship we have with our land. Owning land is hard work, it's a relationship that needs understanding, time and love. I would love to help you grow your relationship with your land and help you understand what it needs to be happy, healthy and give you it's best return. If you would like to talk further please give me, Stephen a call. Peninsula Pastures. 0490539479

17.01.2022 \ \ CAPEWEED / / Generally germinates in autum, flowers late spring & early summer and dies off over summer leaving rosettes of lobed leaves or bare patches in pastures or lawns. Reasons why we don't like capeweed -... 1) Although capeweed is edible to stock, it is of lower nutritional value than many good pastures. 2) When capeweed dies off it leaves the land vulnerable for more intrusive weeds to establish. 3) Capeweed can cause death in stock (nitrate poisoning) if grazed in certain conditions. 4) Pollen from flower had been known to cause skin irritation in horses and donkeys as they graze on the plant. Capeweed grows as a low growing rosette of heavily lobed leaves, the underside of which are generally covered with a wolley down. As a seedling, it is fairly inconspicuous. It is however very noticeable when it's starting to increase in size and grow large yellow daisies in spring & autumn. If you're looking for help to get on top of your mini canola patch aka the capeweed in your pastures. Peninsula Pastures is ready to help you. Give me a call Stephen 0490539479

16.01.2022 \ \ \ AERATING / / / Aerating is when we disrupt soil, loosening any soil compaction in the upper surface, allowing water to infiltrate the soil rather than run off. Soil can become compacted from many different reasons, water laying stagnant- not allowing ground to breath, drought- creates the ground to become hard to penetrate, or stock. ... -What Are The Benefits Of Aeration? Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere. Enhanced soil water uptake. Improved fertilizer uptake and use. Reduced water runoff and puddling. Stronger turfgrass roots. Reduced soil compaction. Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance. Improved resiliency and cushioning. Aerating punches holes in the top layer of earth that then allows water, oxygen and minerals to renter the soil this enhances pasture growth and rejuvination. Aerating is also helpful for things such as for weed control and for incorporating fertilizer. If your looking for more information on aerating please give Peninsula Pastures a call & ask for Stephen 0490539479
