Adrianna Bootstrap ♥ Soil

This last week and still immersed deep in the Integrity Soils transformational leadership intensive. We covered a lot of ground in 2 days and found resonance and kinship with the awesome humans who so completely turned up.

Absolutely, hands down… Tweet of the week! 🥇

Cool heads and a few flies in the paddock this weekend

Spent a fun morning at Soilkee Farms on the Carbon Market Institute (CMI) film set speaking about my role in the worlds first soil carbon project to produce carbon credits under a regulated scheme. Such a win for farmers and the environment making soil and soil carbon sexy.

Chalie Massy features on @AustralianStory tonight & we feel like sharing that & giving away a signed copy of Massy's seminal award winning book Call Of The Reed Warbler to one of our new subscribers. Simply SUBSCRIBE at our website! #australianstory bootstrap.net.au/post/charle…

Wet in West Gippsland! How much rain (or snow!) did you get?

Thrilled to be out in the field again and in service to agriculture. This week soil sampling for a local South Gippsland Landcare soil biology project. I can’t wait to see what results the project will yield over the next 12 months! Well done to all the participating farmers!

Anyone that’s described soil profiles in the field knows it’s a time consuming business, so whatever of the assessment can be done at base is done near the kettle & with favourite tunes on hand. There are 16 profiles to characterise from near Stawell Victoria before labs

Happy week everyone! The best way to stay toasty warm on these winter mornings is to simply pick up the pace! Beautiful morning soil coring #carbonfarming

This is why we farm within land capability. This farm will now recover although it’s too late for this tree.

Today rocked! Beautiful quartz conglomerate rocks found during a reconnaissance soil survey. Doing some soil classification, soil chemistry, and getting an idea of the soil carbon variance, zoning sampling areas prior to a soil sampling baseline round. Near Stawell Victoria

We are all farmers by proxy ~ Wendell Berry A very worthwhile watch that puts the mirror up to our choices and systems of food production. Are you the tie or the bare foot farmer? youtu.be/b1tZnOQrTi4

Farmers are deep thinkers and observers and understand their landscape better than anyone. SCU is leading the way in this new approach to thinking about farming and thinking about agriculture in a holistic way as functioning systems. youtu.be/pXsLt0kTFdo

Imagine if we cared about our topsoil running out as much as we did about our toilet paper running out?

The latest Intellectual Compost is out about the Soil Health Workshop at @voltfarmer Dromana Climate Smart Farm. It wasn't for bystanders though, participants got to be soil scientists for the morning taking turns doing the assessments. A lot of fun! bootstrap.net.au/post/soil-h…
