What’s Out The Back? A Walk Through The Small Bush Paddock
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Rob Bob’s Aquaponics & Backyard Farm”.
G'Day Folks. The 3 of us took a walk through the small bush paddock behind the house to show what's out the back after chatting about it on our August Live Stream yesterday.
Hope you enjoy the mini tour & let us know in the comments if you'd like more of a look at out bits out the back. 😉
Cheers all.
Rob, B & Jack. 🐾🐾

So much like my old backyard! 😍 If it wasn’t for the heat and humidity, I’d be tempted to find a spot like that myself, looks great. For leaky weirs, a mixture of wooden, then rocks on top would be good for the slower running areas. Yes the wood eventually breaks down, but it should have fixed the spot by then. Also, the dump ceramics and glass can be used in leaky weirs. Depending on which mudlarkers B follows, she may have seen videos of UK shoreline where they’d used old ceramic toilets, glass slag, etc as retaining walls, gabions and the like used to try and stop the seas eroding the coast lines. I wouldn’t use any appliances, but glass, ceramics, stone, etc… all good to be recycled into erosion busters. Good luck!❤
I was thinking about lining the leaky weirs with a bunch of rocks and maybe some hessian for those fine solid collections. We certain have enough rocks laying around 😀 Yes I do like a bit of UK mud larking and now must go search for some with retaining walls. I haven’t seen those.
@@dismemberedb Back in high school (decades ago) our ag farm used rolled up newspapers then rocks and hessian to stop the Darwin monsoons eating into the ironstone and making gullies. Hessian would work but, like wood, only in the slower running areas. Faster the water, more likely to wash away, or just hollow it out again once weir gone. Start with rocks at top/ fast area, work down. We had a storm water culvert into a wet season natural spring creek into swamp. Leaky weir worked a treat to stop erosion.
Oh, and Si-Finds often plays in shoreline retaining walls. He once found a beach where old iron lamp posts had been used, plus old toilets, etc. He a funny guy, very arty too. Loves a good upcycle.
@@dismemberedb I’ve just tried sendjng you guys link to lamposts video via messenger.
If you can keep goats in small areas – use electric fences? – they will even eat out the lantana although we used pigs to do the clearing of the worst areas
How beautiful to have the grecillias growing wild. We have planted quite a few in our property, we love them so much.
Have you heard of vetiver grass? It is excelle t for using as retainers. They dont spread and have very deep roots once established. We have them along one side of our property and also in areas to prevent erosion.
Thanks for the outback tour. You two are like explorers. 👩🌾👨🌾
That gully would be a good place to test for the shiny stuff. Also all the bottoms of the washouts before you fill them anywhere the water has moved dirt and left gravel and pebbles. Good you have bed rock too in places you might have some sun backers on top of that where the rains has washed it off. The fever is real lol.
Saw my first snake yesterday arvo – brown I think!
Thought bloodwood was good for various things including fencing. Not as good as iron bark but reasonable against termites for a while.
black wattle isnt good for anything – dies too soon and never grows big enough for anything and constantly shooting new plants from roots – burns well like all Eucalypts which isn’t great – can’t clear it either sadly.
Beer bottles? – thats 10c/bottle
4 strand.
3 high tensile and bottom strand, heavy barb.
Congrats with new property 🙂 Its always fun to see new farmers with massive land. I haven’t explored mine yet. Because of the snakes. Ive seen so many snakes. Looking forward for your aquaponics system back up. I also have a question. How many liters and how much fish to give nutrients to a greenhouse thats 192kvm?
