Is leaching from urine patches such a big deal? If the soil biology is right I doubt it. It's also yet another product based on using fossil fuels regularly.....
I could be wrong though.

This was my thoughts too, surely a healthy sward or crop wouldn't let much away? I think something else must be wrong like ph or trace elements.

I can’t fathom what they are treating the patches with once it’s detected them ?

Deferred grass and bales for these R1s
But on the bales there are thousands and thousands of these money spiders.
Have I hit the jackpot?

Bloody hell! Looks more like something that @Farmer Roy might find on his property!

Looks like he has the potential to thrive on eating all that black silage plastic. Maybe you better look after him

I've been mulling over this.
Has anyone visited Savorys Dimbangombe site in Africa. I'm actually wondering if anyone fancies giving it a visit? Maybe end of this year or next? Its not far from Vic Falls which I've never been to but thinking if a group visited there may be a better quality educational experience from the hosts?
I've not looked into the costs of it or anything by the way. Up anyones street?

I had an interesting hour earlier taking part in my first meeting of the CIWEM Natural Capital panel. There was lots of discussion around the government's tree planting plans and how it should be approached.
Within the last week I've watched a video on here or FB talking about whether tree canes and guards are really necessary given that they often cost 3 times more than the trees actually do. I can't find it now. Can anyone point me to it?

Hi Folks, I would like to invite you to two upcoming webinars. These are going to be good!
WEBINAR Shifting Perspectives: Long-Term Holistic Thinking
WHEN: Thursday, 16th of January 2020, 19:30 -- 20:30 UK/Ireland time
Imagine having 117 acres over 5 different sites. How would you knit together a viable business model? How do you keep it all going?
Join us for an informative and lively session with John Duffy, of An Caora Dubh [Pron: “An-Keera-Duv”, The Black Sheep], a sheep farm in the mountains of Donegal, Ireland. The enterprise aims to build upon traditional farming practices and create a bio-diverse and productive system by working with nature rather than against it.
Hear his journey with holistic management, and ask your questions. He has a great big vision for what's possible, including a nine-mile wildlife corridor from his farm to the coast.
An engineer by profession, he spent 10 years in oil & gas exploration before turning his attention toward regenerative agriculture practices & woodland management.
WEBINAR Q&A with Walter Jehne
WHEN: 23rd of January
We can safely and quickly cool our climate by working with the natural cooling process provided by Earth's Water Cycle. Yes, we can!
How? These processes need living landscapes with abundant plant life and a functional soil sponge to soak up the rain. Many people are already successfully restoring these processes. The co-benefits are enormous, providing resilience to extreme weather events, as well as improvements in clean water supplies, resilience in flood or drought, and food security.
To tell us how to do this is WALTER JEHNE, an internationally known Australian soil microbiologist, climate scientist and founder of Healthy Soils Australia, and Global Cooling Earth. His work shows how we can safely cool the climate by repairing our disrupted hydrological cycles. As a research scientist at CSIRO (Australia’s scientific research organization), Jehne investigated the potential of mycorrhizal fungi to recolonize toxic, degraded soils and to rebuild productive biosystems.

I haven’t visited and I’m waiting for a Savory trip there so I’m there with a group of like minded people to get maximum benefit, hopefully when Allan is there. I’ve spoken to several people who have been and all enjoyed it, had many beliefs challenged and learned a lot, I will let you know if I hear of anything planned.
looks like one of these
british garden spiders - Bing
Intelligent search from Bing makes it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for and rewards you.
One there needs a bit of retraining. ?View attachment 852688

But on the bales there are thousands and thousands of these money spiders.
Have I hit the jackpot?
What’s your plans for it once your have grazing it? Leave it be or try and level the bale patches a bit?
Sounds like a great idea. Not currently on my holiday list, but I haven't planned 3 out of my 4 weeks yet. Please keep me posted if you get anywhere with it.

All it really needs is a some emails to see how the land lies with bookings and making sure there are interesting guides and from there could be pretty independent. I won't have the cash to think about it until next October but it is a potential idea. Could be fun - certainly would add an extra layer of depth to an African adventure.

I think it's a grand idea
if you "do your own trip" planning then you can make it a lot more fun.Time to dust off your best mankini?
