Fixing a developing seep before it becomes a scald: Lock, Central Eyre Peninsula – SA (Video)
In this video from the Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board, South Australia, farmer Kieran Glover and advisor Chris McDonough explain how early treatment of a developing Mallee seep area prevented the scald from forming and spreading. In 2020, Kieran Glover covered the area with 10 cm of sandy and sowed it with lucerne. The video documents the process of successful rehabilitation to 2022 and its return to productivity [3:22]. This video would be relevant to properties on sand dune country prone to seeps.#
