3 Month Update! Goats vs Weeds: Regenerating Land Without Chemicals | Grazeaway Breakthrough

Can goats really restore damaged land better than chemicals or brush cutting? Welcome to a real-world example of regenerative land management in action — right here with Colin from Grazeway and the Farm Learning team. This once weed-infested site was overrun by ginger, blackberries, tree tobacco, and inkweed. Now? It's bouncing back with native sedges, ferns, Microlina, and low-fire-load grasses — all thanks to managed goat grazing and smart plant selection. 🐐 No herbicides 🌿 No brush cutting 🌞 Just sunlight, soil, and goats doing what they do best. In this video, you’ll learn: ✔ How managed grazing disrupts weed root systems ✔ Why goats target exotic species and promote natives ✔ How grazing mimics natural cycles for land recovery ✔ The secrets to replanting with fire-safe, native ground covers ✔ Why soil health and nutrient cycling improve with animal movement 📩 Share this with anyone who still thinks chemical spraying is the only option. Let’s change how we think about weed control and regeneration. 👉 Watch now: https://youtu.be/J1OOJa0Gs3U 📣 Send this to your council, your MP, or someone ready to make a difference. #Grazeway #GoatsForWeedControl #FarmLearning #RegenerativeAgriculture #NativeRestoration #NoChemicalFarming #LowFireLoadLandscaping #BiodiversityRecovery #GoatGrazing #TimThompsonMedia Check out my website for even more content https://timthompson.ag/ Support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/timthompsonmedia Facebook https://www.facebook.com/timthompsonmedia Instagram https://www.instagram.com/timthompson.ag Subscribe for a new video each week!
