To build soil carbon, focus on boosting root growth, limiting erosion, retaining stubble, using pastures and cover crops, managing soil constraints, and minimising disturbance.

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

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

Yes, Mallee seeps can be fully rehabilitated for cropping, but success and timeframes – typically 3-5 years – depend on salinity levels, seep severity, and

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.

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

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.

Mallee seeps are caused by rising saline water tables from perched water, while magnesia patches or dry saline land result from salt wicking up through

Drought doesn’t cause water repellence but worsens it by drying soil further, strengthening hydrophobic bonds and reducing microbial breakdown of repellent compounds.

Yes, drought conditions require adjusted fertiliser strategies—apply less upfront, rely on soil testing, and target nutrients efficiently based on crop demand and root access.
