    Twilight found me rolling out of the dust and scrub of The Northern Highway verging the Great Sandy Desert and delineating a horizon stretching from Port Headland to Broome in Western Australia's vast Kimberly region. In a puff of dust we eased to a halt alongside the fuel bowsers.in my insect pasted Valiant. Ranger. Fuel stop roadhouse Sandfire was little more than a tin shed punctuated by potholes hot, dry vegetation smells and cringing canines with hang dog faces in April 1976. Somewhere from within the confines of the dusty shed a Ballad of lost love howled at me through the gathering gloom. I still remember the words, "Ring Ring, Telephone Rings, I have been wandering where you’ve been', now and then, Think about you and me". Eddie staggered through the road-house door, rolling drunk, one step forwards and two sideways across the cooling red dust. Strike a match and the stink of alcohol would have glazed the hair of my head in a fiery burst. Fuel in the car, some profit for Sandfire and we were headed for Broome.

    What makes your cover crop better than the plants that are already growing there? It’s a lot of work to replace it. We already have plenty of clover growing in our vineyard without planting it. Perennial weeds all have the various roles you described. Also, light cultivation is still a soil disturbance to fungal networks.

    • @cowaramupagencies4555
      @cowaramupagencies4555 Рік тому

      Sounds like you have an effective cover crop for what we are looking to do. Individual circumstances, vineyard requirements and your own goals, (plus what's there already) give you the decisions you need re cover crops.
