Thought we needed a thread for people to post things they are doing that are not on line with traditional thinking/standard practice. Please share any out there ideas you have or things you are practising on farm and please keep the discussion constructive. This is not a place to argue the positives of good quality ploughing, liming and being a great lad applying heaps of bagged p and k. It's not that those practises are wrong and they have proven very successful over the years but these challenging times call for much bigger thinking. Please share anything relating to notill, direct drilling,min till, cover crops, conpanion, cropping, Albrecht soil balancing, mob/mig grazing, clever use of organic manures, on farm composting, biodynamic farming, organic farming principles, novel Rotation ideas and anything else that is not mainstream but you feel will benefit your soil and your business in the short/medium/long term (or all three)
No one should be accused of witchcraft no matter how daft their ideas sound but anyone posting ideas should be prepared to back up their thinking with some kind of theory behind them.
Postings of both success and failure are equally valid. Everyone one knows we learn more from failures than success and if you're not seeing some even small element of failure then you're probably not trying hard enough.
I think this might turn into a decent thread....
