Introducing biological farming systems to Ravensbourne landholders

Biological and Soil Carbon Farming:             

Ravensbourne and District Landcare Group (RDLG) is looking for expressions of interest for participation in a project, funded by the Australian Government, that will introduce sustainable farming methods to district landholders in order to improve soil health and the sustainable management of land under cropping, horticulture and grazing.

                         

The project will involve a number of field days including a community awareness day (April), workshops (Nov / Dec) and further field days in early 2013. The field day in April will include a session on soil sampling and analysis, and interpretation of test results.

If you are a landowner who is interested in improving soil health and would like to participate in this project please answer the questions below and send your reply by 15^th March next.  
Please note that opportunities for subsidised soil analyses and field demonstrations are limited.

RDLG field day 28 April on biological and soil carbon farming

This is a rare opportunity to talk with sustainable farming experts.
You are invited to a field day on Saturday 28th April.
This is the first in a series of events on managing soil carbon on farms and is part of an exciting trend in Australian farming for property owners who want to manage soil for the future, maintaining fertility without the addition of expensive and disappearing resources.

The 10th Hampton Food and Arts Festival will be held on Sunday 20th May, 2012.

Jeff Lang , a guitarist, singer and songwriter who has built up a reputation for startlingly original performances, working without a set list and allowing the unique energy of each show to shape the songs, will be headlining the list of outstanding musicians that will be performing on the day. Other musicians on the day will include Danny Widdicombe, Innes Campbell, Breaking Hart Benton, The Rusty Datsuns, Dana Hassall, and Mosaic Judy.

The Hampton Festival provides an outlet for the work of both professional and up and coming visual, performance, vocal and craft artists. In addition, it is committed to fostering arts development in the local community.
