I think this is just another tool in permaculture tool set. Used with other methods you can create adaptable systems that work in any setting. No different from re-introduction of beavers in America to manage the flood plain.
I'm not a farmer, but I am a person who visits farming property from time to time. I have often wondered about erosion and salinity and how they can be dealt with. What this gentleman is saying is so simple, but incredibly complex and interdependent on other factors. I've watched several videos about NSF and believe it offers such rewards to the environment, its diversity and the farmer. In our drying climate, surely NSF needs to be implemented more vigorously to limit runoff, conserve water and improve soil. I guess the other element is that we are merely custodians of the land, and what we do to it (both good and bad) has an impact well beyond our relatively short life spans. NSF seems to be a positive methodology that looks at that 'big picture'.
I remember watching this video before attending the training week and not understanding what on earth Stuart was talking about. It all makes sense now that I’ve completed the course. Thank you so much to all involved at Tarwyn Park Training. 👍🏻
Regarding "weeds" I understand the need to leave them and let them do their thing. What is your opinion about paddymelons? I can resist pulling them out!!
A “weed” is any plant growing where you don’t want it. A squash plant in the middle of my tomatoes, is a weed. It either gets transplanted or composted. Many plants that are viewed as “weeds” are simply unpalatable pioneer species moving into disturbed, overgrazed, or barren soils. They are preparing the soil to support more palatable plants for people or livestock, and can/should be considered in any program to restore productivity to degraded soils.
I'm wondering if the Beaver would help the Australian waterways I've just watched David Attenbougher's Wild Canada The Heartland and the First peoples there have said Canada was built on the Beaver. I know some parts of Australia are to hot and infested with crocs , but the southern parts may benefit. I wonder if a way could be done to accommodate their introduction into Australia.
I doubt it would be a good idea at all. The last time the government tried to introduce a foreign species to help combat an environmental problem they gave us the cane toad. And that was a disaster to put it mildly.
What a silly idea. Simply take the natural attributes of the beaver that you are referring to and simply build the water holding ponds yourself and it will slow the flow and allow the water to soak and heal the land.
This is the future. So grateful for these pioneering farmers.
hardly ever see any vids on YT without a thumbs down.. Their work is something we should all hold dearly
Impressive ! after collapsing, still spreading knowledge with great vision...
Salute to you & your Dad's efforts for humanity & planet.
Allan Savory's Holistic Management and Natural Sequence Farming would work perfectly together!

This applies to the home garden also. So those suburban plastic grass, rock and succulent garden designs need to aquire some of this knowledge!!
Love it.
Sooner or later, this kind of stuff will catch on.
And not just in Australia.
I'm in the USA and believe in this method. Putting it to the test in my arid desert
Good stuff! Slowly... slowly... and surely.
Absolutely Brilliant! 👍

Very intelligent guy

Pretty sure the person asking about the cow farts is not a farmer and probably a vegan
An uphill struggle to combat industrial farming practices, not easy but needs to be done for long term sustainable agriculture.

Not good to introduce beavers into this ecosystem
Yeah righto, maybe a polar bear and an orangutan as well.
You can build BDA's (beaver dam analog) they provide similar benefits without having to introduce a foreign species into the Australian ecosystem
Here is a similar practice that worked: ua-cam.com/video/ZSPkcpGmflE/v-deo.html
