Subject: [permaculture] Keyline Super Plow getting closer
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 06:21:29 +1000
G'day,
Ben Falloon of www.taranakifarm.com & myself have been working on the latest
of my longstanding attempts to make the Yeomans Keyline Plow perform
multiple functions as it patterns its way through landscapes. Now we are
getting closer to our latest
incarnation<http://picasaweb.google.com/permaculture.biz/KeylineSuperPlowRD?feat=directlink>where
it deep cultivates, injects & sprays compost tea/biofertilisers, and
sows cocktail biological subsoilers & pastoral species all in one pass. Our
next step is to get the seeder drive mechanism finished and give it a run
today before it does some jobs these coming weeks to pay for itself!
We are now starting on toolbar that will carry tynes with pasture drilling
points fitted and their coulter and press wheel assemblies. This will sow
the cocktail pastoral species directly into the zone between the rip lines
(sown to the biological subsoilers). All lines will ultimately have both
biofertilisers and compost tea injected into and under the zone of sowing
increasing the strike rate and rates of plant and microbial growth.
