Peter Andrews is the inventor of the Natural Sequence Farming method. He is acknowledged as having converted his degraded high-salinity land at Tarwyn Park into a fertile, drought-resistant estate. His techniques run counter to prevailing accepted practices. Peter Andrews is also the author of a best selling book on his methods, entitled Back from the Brink: How Australia's Landscape can be Saved. He also has written a book called "Beyond the Brink" that further explains his theories about water movement in the Australian landscape with the additional subjects of global warming and GMO usage and how this affects soil and the environment.

L G- It was my understanding Willows were not loved plant near creeks or dams and may damage pipes drains etc
ReplyDeleteYou're right, LG, quite UNloved in Tasmania/Australia but not always with justification as Peter Andrews demonstrates!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Rubicon River is a trickle in front of & over the Highway from Elizabeth Town Roadhouse. A Landcare Group enthusiastically removed the willows, leaving a barren trickle & an eyesore for Tourists & others.
