To combat the bouncing roos and the nibbling wallabies, we've purchased extra long flexible fibreglass poles and guards. They're the invention of Rowan Reid. The poles can absorb the bouncing and the high guards prevent the wallabies from nibbling.
Pictured are Campbell and Gary banging the poles in place, then Gary sprayed to get rid of the thick grass mat.
In spring, we'll spray once more with a knockdown glyphosate and plant out 40 black wattles, 20 messmate and 20 silver banksias. We're experimenting with using half the black wattles as a nurse crop for the messmate. Campbell has had great success with black wattle on one south-facing site. So much so that we're using it in the flooring of the drop slab hut – visit step-5-a-shining-red-black-wattle-has-an-ill-deserved-reputation.html
