Welcome to season 9 of AgVic Talk, 'Adapting to the seasons'. In this preview episode we meet Chris Smith who farms west of Horsham on some variable soil types. Chris explores sub-soil amelioration and discusses some of the benefits and challenges of undertaking this soil improvement project.
Note:
- A gilgai heavy flat consists of mounds and depressions formed on shrink-swell and cracking clay soils.
- A lunette is a fixed dune in a crescent shape formed on the eastern side of ancient lakes or water basins.
