‘Uniq Tekniq’: we are a 100% herbicide-free Australian bush regeneration company!
We’d love to share with you a few ‘tekniqs’ we employ as effective bush regenerators to inspire you in your next project:
“Observation is key” - it is the timeless way of caring for Country
Frequently adjust perspective - “zoom in, zoom out”
Whilst weeding “If you can’t I.D. let it be” - learn ya leafy locals
We stand by “The Bradley Method: the gentle art of bringing back the bush”:
Work from areas of health towards weedy zones
Make minimal disturbance to the environment
Let natural regeneration dictate the rate of weed removal
“Patience, consistency, determination”- our favourite mantra when dealing with tough weeds
“Keepin’ it local” - is a reminder to stay seasonal and sustainable, and to ‘love ya own backyard’
“Consider the weeds” - acknowledge their origins and roles within the system
We practise elements of regenerative agriculture, syntropic farming and permaculture - bushtekniq is ever evolving..
tools we love to use:
Kama, Hori Hori and Silky saws.. all quality Japanese hand tools employed for minimal disturbance weeding
Tree Poppers are a genius way to remove woody weeds and small trees.. roots and all
Battery powered chainsaws and specialised grinder blades to deal with weedy trees.. quiet, efficient and recharged by the sun
Saturated Steamweeder - Satusteam™ uses thermal shock to effect the regenerating cells of herbaceous weeds, especially succulents and groundcovers
