Knowledge sharing on the ecoweeder.au platform

Weed management in bush regeneration is always challenging; especially when innovative and alternative weed control techniques are being used. The shiny new steam weeder, the next organic herbicide or even trial by fire to control weeds is all the rage.

But how does a bush regenerator decide which ecological weed control method to use? This can be a real problem. The solution lies in sharing experiences and learning from each other. Organic farmers have been doing it for a long time – sharing what works and what doesn’t work. This knowledge sharing builds an informed community of practitioners.

Bush regenerators share their knowledge too! That’s why the ecoweeder.au platform is being built as a peer-to-peer knowledge sharing platform. Bush regenerators trialing innovative and alternative weed control techniques can fill in a simple form that will be turned into a case study for others to access and learn from.

The ecoweeder.au website will be a free and open service for all bush regenerators; funded entirely by a group of independent researchers and volunteers. So, submit your case studies on the link below and support a fellow bush regenerator!

AABR member Sameer Pundee has been busy creating the ecoweeder.au platform. AABR is supporting the development of the platform by promoting the survey that gathers the data.
