Graham, the Graslan pellets are selective if applied at the correct rate, so won’t harm the grass.
The dead trees don’t worry us too much, timber this size will mostly fall over and be burnt within ten years.
These Ironbarks are a eucalypt, a very tenacious species that nothing will eat. (except maybe Koala bears)
In an ideal world, this country would of been treated earlier, 5 years ago they were only half as high.
It’s always a balancing act to maintain the production and value of the country against the cost of treatment and the return you expect to achieve, not to mention the constant threat of droughts etc.
Iam hoping this thing will be a game changer for us, by dramatically lowering the cost of treatment, we will be able to improve much more country, sooner.
At this stage, I have several years work on my own place before considering any contracting, but there is definitely some money making potential there.
This is a clip from the bloke who makes the Skattergun, a fellow Qlder, as dry as they come.
