Weeds and soil health

Northern Slopes Landcare Association and the North West Regional Agricultural Landcare facilitator (RALF) invite you to join us for this informative workshop.  Learn how to use weeds to help diagnose soil issues, and how they can help us better understand our soil health, and how to transition your soil to its ultimate health and productivity. We will take a close look at a range of weeds, both in the classroom and in the paddock, to increase our understanding of the messages they are sending us in relation to of soil health. 

We will delve into how to take a soil test and various the methods of helping diagnose your soils and we'll start you on the journey of developing a holistic soil health restoration action plan. 

A bit about our presenter: 

Kim Deans loves working with innovative farmers who are disillusioned with the high input, industrial farming model to tailor a unique strategy for reinventing their agricultural business. 

The reinvention process has been a recurring theme of Kim’s 30 year career in agriculture and she has worked closely with hundreds of farming businesses through processes of change.  Alongside her work with farmers Kim and husband Angus have been implementing methods now known as “regenerative” agriculture on their property in NSW over the past 17 years.
