Tarwyn Park Training.
'Tarwyn Park' is the home of Natural Sequence Farming developed by Peter Andrews in the beautiful Bylong Valley in the NSW Upper Hunter region. Slow the flow

‘Tarwyn Park’ in the Bylong Valley NSW sits in a functioning, ecologically, healthy watershed, whic
h has been aggrading for more than 4 decades.
40 years ago TP was an eroded, degrading, incised, salinised-farming system. Today, ‘Tarwyn Park’ is absolutely unique, in that it farms living water moving over and thru the regolith, which supports a huge biodiversity of living systems. This is our point of difference with traditional agriculture, which farms soil.
‘Tarwyn Park’ operates as a complex open system, which optimizes the energy from the sun, the fertility of the land and atmosphere and minimises the losses of matter, water and energy, due to gravity. And because Tarwyn Park is a living ‘complex open system’ it can import and store matter like atmospheric dusts and moisture, insect and bird droppings, and, of course, rainfall from water outside the watershed... meaning they can convert these materials into more energy and increase their energy stores. If the watershed is healthy, these imports can be aggraded at rates higher than erosion rates meaning, the potential of the system is growing. It may surprise everyone to read the following statement: ’Tarwyn Park’ does NOT farm soil ~ WHY? Because SOILS don't grow plants ~ soils are simply nutrient-laden conduits for the living water that feeds and sustains plant communities. Tarwyn Park has a 2000,000,000 litre dam sitting in its floodplain. Prof Haikai Tane described the floodplain as a step-diffusion system of BROAD acre hydroponics ~ the most productive growing system, all designed and created by Nature.
