Just sharing a bit about my faecal seeding program, remember not to use coated seeds!! Results in sheep may vary as they tend to grind seeds more than cattle. Hope you enjoy!

  • Thanks Cameron, just stumbled on your video. Brilliant idea, and it works. I tried many years ago to get Kikuyu to take on my hobby farm. I had heard about the process. I spoke to a few. local farmers and received a lot of blank looks. But I went ahead and gave it a try. And got some small hits in the paddock. I had not thought of the other grass types as you explained. Brilliant, and well done you, Cheers.

  • Cam, just came across your videos - good on you and pls keep posting. It's refreshing and very helpful to get an Australian context for all of this regen stuff. This poo seed spreading idea is bloody awesome! Thank you, am going to give it a go when we get our cows.

  • with solid standing body grass you can broadcast clover medic in april and then heavily trample it with cattle - return in sept/oct if enough rain has got it up - broadcast seed by hand if needed - it works best with a lot of trampled grass = or maybe lucerne into clover in sept

  • I've done this with my sheep for a few years and I've seen decent results. It's hard to tell what's brought in from birds, hay, or them pulling seed of existing plants since I didn't close anything off but it was an old dead cedar field and after a lot of clearing and some lime it's looking good.

    • Thats good mate, I wasn't to sure how sheep would go in regards to grinding up the seed. But yes thats true sometimes its hard to tell, just gotta keep and eye out for the variety you planted i suppose..

  • Good stuff. What happens to the germinating plant when the cow pat breaks further down/crumbles? Seems like there’d be further losses and that would lower the seeding percentage.

    @elivaughan7853@elivaughan7853 Жыл бұрын

    • Yeah that’s it Eli, eventually some die off because the area of that manure pile can’t support that many plants but I guess the stronger seedlings survive and that’s what you let go to seed.

    • @@camerongriffin3860 Nice one. Do you reseed in any other ways? Such as having a small spreader on a quad and doing a pass before letting the cattle in to trample&fertilise the seed. Would be interesting to compare the methods. You also mentioned that not all the seed pass through the animal. As it’s hard seed and not cracked, the nutritional value from it would be negligible?

    • I’ve been trying to mix it up and experiment on this block, some strips I did faecal seeding and then some I did as you described, broadcasted it out and then trampled so will do an update as to how it goes. Yeah I don’t think they would get much out of the seed to be honest but who knows
