Revegetation:Design, Planning and Preparation21Weed controlExperienced treeplanters often say that the three mostimportant stages in a revegetation project are ‘Weedcontrol, weed control, weed control ’. Of course there areother important tasks, but weed control is surely one ofthe most vital! It is important to achieve good weed controlin the 1m2 around each seedling. However the amount ofground disturbance should be kept to a minimum as openground is an invitation to fresh weed establishment.Therefore spot spraying of 1m2 plots is more advantageousthan spraying a continuous 1m strip, though the formerapproach is more time consuming. Care should also betaken not to damage any existing native grasses andherbaceous plants in the area. Weed control may include arange of methods, including grazing to reduce weed seedset, cultivating and mulching. Usually, however, herbicideswill be used at some stage to reduce weed competitionprior to planting or sowing due to their effectiveness andlow labour requirement. Many landholders will feel someresistance to the use of herbicides on environmentalgrounds, however one needs to balance any negativesagainst the vast tracts of vegetation establishment that, inpractical terms, are only possible due to the strategic useof herbicides.For seedling establishment, the first application ofherbicide should occur in the spring prior to planting, witha follow up application a couple of weeks before planting.For direct seeding, weed control is even more vital as thetiny emerging seedlings are so easily outcompeted bymore vigorous weed species. Two herbicide controls areconsidered a minimum, and a third control 6-12 weeksafter the second control (and just before seeding) isadvisable. If woody weeds are present (for exampleblackberries, boxthorn or gorse), particular herbicides willneed to be used which take several months to take effect,and this will need to be factored into your planningschedule. The exact choice of herbicide will depend on theweeds present, and should be discussed with your localfarm supplies retailer.Effective pest plant andanimal control is anessential part ofpreparation.

The main points to observe are as follows:and to assist root growth. Ripping should occur on dryishsoils during summer or just after the autumn break, theaim being to achieve a ‘shatter’ of the soil. Do not rip wetsoils as this will result in a ‘slicing’ rather than ‘shattering’effect. Driving a tractor tyre over the ripped line will assist Water plants thoroughly the night before planting Loosen soil in an area slightly larger than the pot toprovide a friable soil bed for the seedling Remove the plant from the pot by tapping the edge ofin breaking up large clods and reconsolidating the soil tothe pot on a hard surface (your boot, or a rock, foravoid large air pockets. A winged ripper should be used toexample). Do not pull the plant out by the stema depth of 30-60cm. Ensure the stem is planted to the same depth as in theIn poorly drained soils, mounding will improve drainagepot (i.e. don’t bury the stem, and don’t leave rootsand provide a greater depth of topsoil for the establishingexposed)seedling. This will improve establishment and growthrates, however mounding is expensive and may only befeasible in farm forestry projects where there is anexpectation of a direct monetary return. Ensure good contact between the plant root ball and thesurrounding soil (i.e. break up large clods of earth andgently ‘firm-in’ the plant to avoid large air pocketsunderground which have a drying effect).Ripping improves moisturepenetration and soil tilth,mounding improves drainageand topsoil depth.

25Species SelectionThis section will assist you in choosing the correctindigenous plant species for your site. Firstly, you will needto determine which Native Vegetation Group(s) (NVG(s))originally occurred on your project site, then you can usethe species selection list to choose species belonging tothose NVG(s).

Areas of vegetation belonging to the same EVCacross a biogeographic range, and although differing inwill be similar in several ways:species, have similar habitat and ecological processes Vegetation structure (i.e. the way that trees, shrubs,grasses and herbs are distributed and combined in thelandscape)operating. Approximately 300 EVCs have been describedfor Victoria. For simplicity, these have been grouped intojust 20 Native Vegetation Groups (NVGs). Detailedinformation regarding EVCs and related matters is available Position in the landscape (e.g. plains, foothills, slope etc.)from DSE (see Resources and Contacts Guide, page 56). Occurrence in the landscape in terms of geology, soilThere are 35 EVCs within the Shire of Moorabool, groupedtype, aspect Floristics (i.e. the number, distribution and relationshipsof plant species).into just 14 Native Vegetation Groups. The species list inthis booklet is grouped into these NVGs, because thequality of vegetation mapping currently available in theMoorabool Shire area is insufficient to accurately define thelocations of individual EVCs.This guide will enable you to determine the NVG(s) whichoriginally occurred on your site, and to compile a specieslist which includes typical species from these NVG(s).The Shire of Mooraboolcovers many differentvegetation types which areclassified into some 35different EVCs.

Species Selection27How to select the right speciesfor your landStep 1 Try to build a picture of the kind of remnant vegetationwhich originally occurred on your land: talk to neighbours,DPI and Local Government staff (see Resources andContacts Guide on page 56).
