With national expert John Feehan

Koroit Football & Netball Club, Victoria Park - Koroit

Tuesday 11th August 1-3 pm.

John Feehan, operates Soilcam dung beetle consultancy out of Canberra, where he coordinates the largest and most efficient collection and redistribution of dung beetles in the world.

John has worked for 26 years with CSIRO’s dung beetle program & is recognised as the national dung beetle guru.

During this talk John will talk about :

• The benefits of dung beetles in restoring soil nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorous) & soil structure
• Dung beetles & farm sustainability
• Different types of dung beetle species (including both autumn and winter active species) for specific regions

To quote John : “Half a litre of cow pat is probably equivalent to a good double handful of super phosphate”
