Not sure if this is the right place for this but I thought it was cool.
It’s a really well done video and an excellent premise. I’m looking forward to the follow-up.
And now the ackchyually part, in my part of Australia, what’s been done there would be an absolute maintenance disaster, either costing a fortune in labour or just accepting a significant loss of planted species.
This mass planted offset technique into a grassy paddock is something that can be done better with design. It might work OK in temperate locations but even so, design around maintenance is key. Planting is about 10% of the work, there is 80% more time and work to get it self-sustaining, usually within a 3 year period. If you have paddock grass species in your “forest” planting at 3 years old, I would say it’s a failed planting.
The other 10% is luck. And rain.
I really love how Beau tells stories! Any topic would be interesting when presented by him!
