hi everyone, i guess you have figured by my name that i am Damian and i live in Australia. coming from a farming background and working in the industry my main interest is with bio char and its soil conditioning properties.

im a qualified plant mechanic (tractors and implements ,earth moving machinery etc) and have worked in both farm machinery dealerships and also an engineering works. of late i have been working for an agricultural contractor who mainly specialises in silage but we also do a bit of baling and manure spreading etc.

i hope i can be of some use to the group with general idea's knowledge. if anyone has any mechanical or machinery questions please do not hesitate to ask or message me.
