Q86. What test should I use to measure soil organic carbon?
Choose a soil organic carbon test based on your goal—use the same method for monitoring changes over time, Walkley Black for general farming, or dry combustion (DUMAS) with carbonate pre-treatment for carbon accounting.

Q80. Can I fully rehabilitate a seep area (i.e. crop it like the rest of the paddock) and how long will it take?
Yes, Mallee seeps can be fully rehabilitated for cropping, but success and timeframes – typically 3-5 years – depend on salinity levels, seep severity, and how quickly the perched water table is reduced using strategies like lucerne, trees, or sand mulching.

Q75. Do I have to plant trees to treat mallee seeps?
No, you don’t have to plant trees to treat Mallee seeps—lucerne is often effective for low to moderately saline seeps, while trees are better suited to severe or highly saline sites.
View moreQ76. Can I punch a hole in the clay at the bottom of a seep so the water will drain out the bottom?
No, punching through the clay beneath a seep isn’t practical or permitted, and managing seeps with above-ground solutions is safer and more effective.
View moreQ78. How do I find a seep before it becomes a problem?
You can spot a developing Mallee seep early by looking for persistent green growth, waterlogging, and ryegrass invasion, then confirming with NDVI imagery and digging to check for a perched water table.
View moreQ73. Why are Mallee seeps appearing in my paddock?
Mallee seeps form when excess water accumulates above shallow clay layers, creating perched water tables that raise salinity and waterlog soils, eventually making them unproductive.
