Darren is an active broad acre keyline designer and over the last few days he has been completely blowing my mind answering all of the questions I have about effective carbon sequestration. I have long thought that the carbon neutral programs available are a bit of a joke and while planting trees is something we should all be doing, they take too long to really help us sequester carbon now.
Soil is a much more immediate and effective method of doing this and Darren has provided me with heaps of resources for pursuing this area of interest. Not only does increasing the amount of soil carbon sequester carbon, it increases the water holding capacity of the soil and also increases soil organic matter and helps rebuild soil.
So between studying soil biota and now carbon farming, I am going to be a very busy girl indeed.
