What a couple of legends with a message that more of us need to hear

So beautiful and true. Victor Steffensen is a modern hero.

Awesome video. Amazing results

This is so hopeful. How did we loose this knowledge? I know we came from Europe with that climate's mindset, but we just devastated this land. When England reports a drought, I think, if they can't conserve water in a place it always rains, no wonder they created vast tracts of cracked mud here. To think that what looked like barren land was in reality a wetland! I'm glad this knowledge is coming back and that the farmers are finding a cheap way to conserve water. It's so effective, that it will get past down generationally.

Just one good project can change The Water Situation of 80% Australia in all directions - East West North South. All smaller projects then will be more viable and efficient. If the Government agrees and also people have to agree it's doable in 3 yrs, giving results from the very 1st yr of start. Meanwhile people have to do what little they can.

WAIT UNTIL THIS GUY DESCOVERS SWALES. Love that he is rehydrating the land. KZbin search: Bill Mollison Tuscon desert swales.

Beautiful work letting nature do its thing at scale

Wow👍👍👍

Absolutely fantastic work being done. If we could harness these ideas and a "Volunteer Army" of retired folk ( I'd love to be involved), then just imagine what could be achieved at almost no cost.

Australia should give funding to farmers to just get a load of trench diggers in or pipe laying equipment (without the laying of pipe) as you get a berm and weir from the one process

Flat areas use spiral channels guys!

This is a wonderful video, thank you for putting this up!

As much as I love 'the bush' and all that Australia has to offer, I can't help thinking that despite all the technological and societal advances we've enjoyed in the last few generations and will enjoy in the next couple, we are seeing this magnificent land at its absolute worst, and we are lesser for it. I'd love to retire (early) on 100 acres or so and spend the next few decades before I depart, replanting and regrowing what I can so that a generation or few down the track, will once again see the mighty forests that used to be here, and enjoy them.

At last SUPERIOR RACE understanding how to take CARE of Mother EARTH. Heartiest Congratulations.

Amazing regeneration

I have a section near the edge of my property where I used to get runoff along the road like a river so I added a foot of mulch along the edge of the road and even during heavy rain the winecap mycelium that has grown into that mulch absorbs the water like a sponge and pulls it into my land

I am really like watermelon farm. Can I visit your farm please? Thanks

Such a gentle explanation of what is essential - thank you for sharing our governance and why it is so important/fundamental

Thanks landcare ❤

In reality you're fixing a problem Australians themselves have caused. Over grazing, either from livestock, or from the overpopulation of kangaroos created by the abundance of water from those huge cattle stations, possibly over grazing from introduced animals like goats and camels, logging... all of this caused massive erosion that we have to fix today.

Great farming Peter

Lovely ❤ Very good to know of progress.

How is the spread of fire managed? Does the fire service ever need to be called in to contain?

The country being "regenerated" is not suitable most years for any production . Regenerative agriculture though better than traditional methods is just a catch phrase used to justify farming country that shouldn't be farmed. The term is a best a hoax at worst a con or green washing the public. If the land hadn't been degrade and over grazed for generations this sort of programme wouldn't be needed

Bravo!

Thanks for having us!

Our landscapes would be much healthier if every landholder took this approach. Well done Rowan

Makes money by grazing animals on grass. Makes claim removing native scrub to increase grass is better for the environment and the climate without supporting that claim with any research, theory or references. hmmmmm I wonder what's going on here.... more fkn snake oil, landcare too scared to tell farmers the truth as always, grazing is the problem.

Fantastic video, with some great stats! Love goats and hope to get into farming them one day.

Good to see country being returned to what it was after 200 years of fucking it up by the white man...

As a kiwi living in Scotland for 25 years now I really enjoy and appreciate the regenerative work being done in Aus. I've watched several of these Landcare vids now, and you guys over there are so inspiring. Keep up the great work.

9:44 Love how one guy is always rolling a shaggy (rollup sigaret) whenever he's stepping out of the vehicle to talk.

amazing to see. Thanks for taking the time to tell this story. The potential is wild!

Awesome, we trying to head this way. A very run down few acres we have.

With so many awful things happening in the world in October 2023, this video brings so much hope that widespread change for the better is happening too.

farmers are the best landcare people.

Man i'd love to go and work on this stuff. I'm a builder and people think that's real work but it's not. This is the real thing.

Extraordinarily easily fixed , well done to them for taking the inititiive and having a go in the first place.....Most environmental damage comes from inaction...not even necessarliy the wrong action but pure laziness and these guys have put heaps of positive work into making what you can see is a massive difference...in just a year its stunning.

Peter's a natural on camera! I'd love to have a follow up film too

Please tell us what chemicals you use for the nutrients in the water. My understanding is that hydroponics are pretty hard to do organically - as in Certified Organic. Also what fertiliser or other chemicals are used in the process?

Legends, we're doing this albeit a smaller scale in our Chewton landcare, great vid ❤

what about swales and making ponds for keeping water?

Brilliant to see the land being restored by these simple measures. The more grassland, the less soils will be swept away. And what a great carbon sink this will become. It will be interesting to see how those regenerated areas survive this new drought cycle. Great work people!

More bird life will bring in the Foxes, Cats and Large Goannas, its beautiful to see the land coming back, water is king, I always felt that there isnt enough done to get the land healthy again.

THANK YOU for all your work in restoring and regeneration of the land. My Maternal Grandparents and relatives had property’s in NSW, the kept all the rees on the land and the wild stock they run on the properties loved resting under the trees, and there was trees around certain sides of the dams and this seemed to be standard practice many many years ago. Northbrook, Danderleaf, Nugal, and Wilgabar were wonderful places to spend holidays
