Q92. How much nutrient is exported from the paddock after a bumper year?
A bumper grain harvest removes significant nutrients from the soil – e.g. wheat removes ~20 kg N/t and canola ~40 kg N/t – so adjusting fertiliser plans post-harvest is essential.

Q91. When building soil carbon, is there any difference between charcoal/biochar and carbon present in the soil life such as roots, microbes and fungi? Which is more stable?
Yes, biochar is more stable than carbon from roots and microbes, but both play important roles – biochar improves long-term soil properties, while soil life drives nutrient cycling and resilience.

Q90. Does improving soil organic matter really improve soil water holding capacity?
Yes, improving soil organic matter does enhance water holding capacity, but gains are small and slow to build—though the broader benefits to soil health and resilience are still worthwhile.
View moreQ89. How much carbon can I add? What’s realistic?
The amount of carbon you can realistically add depends on your soil type and rainfall—lighter soils and low rainfall zones have lower carbon storage potential, while heavier soils in wetter regions can hold more.
View moreQ88. How do I add more carbon to my soil?
To build soil carbon, focus on boosting root growth, limiting erosion, retaining stubble, using pastures and cover crops, managing soil constraints, and minimising disturbance.
View moreQ87. How do I get an accurate carbon baseline and can I do it myself?
No, you can’t do your own carbon baseline for carbon farming – sampling must be done by an independent, qualified provider after the project is officially registered.
