Easy to re-imagine how this sort of set up could change the pastoral landscape for the better!

And silvopasture/wood pasture Using things like @CactusTreeGuard I’m glad we did that work But when you transform your fields with grassland restoration and regen grazing… It’s awesome Yep, I’m proud of this place I think it looks and is epic And it’s only just starting



It’s a beautiful autumnal sunrise


Been a good summer for sunflowers . This wild bird mixes backed by abundant hawthorn berries should help out some birds this winter.

The trip to Northern Ireland was awesome. Very friendly folk, engaging talks, great food and a lot of Guinness was drunk. Also fields and fields of GREEN grass and folk silage making………

Here's "The Game with the Names" - a home-made 🎶 parody of the legendary #ABBA song ("The Name of the Game"), but offering a satirical twist on the #Trump & #Epstein files story (so far) with a dose of disco lights and half-hearted hand gestures ... 🕺


Finding some useful shade under the cactus guarded trees and shrubs . Here oak partners with hawthorn and dog rose. The impact after just 3 summers is meaningful and rewarding for the cattle and me!


Got to like lichens - this garden on top of an old oak fence strainer


Just received my ChirrupAI bird recorder….where else would l put it?! Perfect protection from cattle.

We’ve had no rain to mention since February. I believe we are seeing the benefits of a few years of rotational grazing/ long rest. Here deep rooted cocksfoot is a winner.

And there are some cool hacks like @CactusTreeGuard and railed cages so you can create a savannah in a grazed farmed landscape

Don’t cancel the SFI. Don’t pull the rug from under farmers who desire to improve their land for the benefit of nature. Don’t set us back another 5 years in the transition to nature friendly farming

Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit As we reflect🎄 on the year that has passed, we are grateful for the growing interest and support for agroforestry in Ireland. We look forward to continuing sharing knowledge + connecting farmers, researchers + policymakers in 2025

I wrote this 2 days BEFORE Defra put a halt to the capital grants available to farmers for environmental works on farms. So that is less new hedgerows and trees planted, less protection of waterways and, more importantly, even less trust of what the government says.

My latest column for @FarmersGuardian I’m trying not to focus solely on the Inheritance Tax changes, especially when there’s enough other f-ups from government to fill 10 columns each wk! Funding cuts, increased legislation, grant & stewardship delays Who’d be a farmer eh?!

#NationalTreeWeek …here’s one for inspiration. Oak now 2.7m after 3 years from 50cm transplant. Buzzing with life with its thorny shrub companions. Quick, easy and cheap to do with @CactusTreeGuard spiky protection.

Every Oak Tree 🌳 should be protected. This one tree supports over 2,000 species of Fauna and Flora. Now with global warming, we need every Oak tree and more.

…and if you can’t re-wild like this you can still plant trees across your land…

They get everywhere those cactus guards! Thanks for showing them off in such fine company.

In the courtyard were a composting machine L, a Tow and Fert machine, @PastureForLife, @CactusTreeGuard around 2 courtyard trees and Rachel from our Teaching & Demonstration Market Gardeb who was delighted when Peter donated a dumpy bag of chicken manure to the garden
