There are many farms across the Mallee that have salt scalds form in their cropping paddocks, usually at the bottom of a sandhill. This forage shrub podcast looks into the way that Blue Wyatt has used his stand of saltbush to fix a salt scald area. If Blue's experience is anything to go by, the degraded land can be reclaimed quite simply with the shrubs and provide a useful source of sheep feed at the same time.

In this second podcast, Nick chats with Blue on his farm at Murrayville. 

This project is supported by the Mallee Catchment Management Authority through funding from the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund.
