| 5/28/26 | ![]() S6E04 Invertebrates | Meet the invertebrate team as we peel back bark, turn over rocks and shine lights on sheets to catch insects and arachnids out in the Australian desert.

| 5/18/26 | ![]() S7 E02 - What are the possibilities for FO and GO? | In the last episode we had a chat with Mayor Toby Heydon and YIMBY co-founder Lucy Young to explore the impacts of the rolling out a Food Organics / Garden Organics (FOGO) kerbside waste service in the shire. It seemed clear there was a lot more to say! So this episode we are joined once more by Lucy and also by Anthony Jansen who runs Greenaway, a garden organics waste service. Together we talk about what we might be able to imagine for the shire if we choose not to run with FOGO bins, but rather manage the FO (food organics) and GO (garden organics) in creative and practical ways. | 39m 58s | ||||||
| 5/4/26 | ![]() S7E01 Should We 'Go Slow on FOGO'? | This episode was recorded from a live show on MainFM on 4th of May 2026. The Mount Alexander Shire Council is soon to vote on whether our shire should have FOGO bin, that is, a Food Organics / Garden Organics kerbside waste service. Saltgrass host Allie was joined in the studio my Mayor Toby Heydon and YIMBY co-founder Lucy Young to discuss the proposed service and why it may or may not be the best option for our shire. | 47m 42s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | ![]() S6E03 Citizen Science | Citizen science is a bit of a buzz word, but what is it really all about? Desert Discovery did not start out as a citizen science group, at first it was a group of nature lovers having adventures together. Over time the group's focus has shifted more and more towards citizen science. So, in this episode, we unpack what citizen science is and also how Desert Discovery became a citizen science group. | 52m 35s | ||||||

| 12/4/23 | ![]() S5 E18 Connecting Country | Connecting Country is a not for profit organisation which works closely with landcare groups and others in restoring neglected and damaged ecosystems. Hadley Cole and Bonnie Humphries from Connecting Country join Allie to discuss how landcare groups contribute to various restoration efforts, and how the unprecedented nature of climate change and its impact on existing ecosystems makes the task complex and unpredictable. Various strategies are being tried, including mixing plant provenances to achieve a higher genetic diversity and boost ecosystem resilience. In this episode are excerpts from an event called 'Revegetation Success in a Changing Climate' featuring Sasha Jellinek from the University of Melbourne and Melbourne Water, Oli Moraes from DJAARA and Tess Greives from the North Central Catchment Management Authority (NCCMA), The full recording of the event will be shared in upcoming weeks.

| 11/7/23 | ![]() S5 E17 Village Dreaming | Today we are going to Village Dreaming Farm and Orto cooking school. Mara and Ralf live on about 15 acres just outside of Daylesford – about a 30min drive south of where I am in Castlemaine. They have been there since 2015 and in that time have transformed the empty paddocks of former grazing land into a small farm that follows regenerative and permaculture principles, with a kitchen garden, orchards and wetlands.

| 10/16/23 | ![]() S5 E16 Compost!? Yes, In My Back Yard | Are you good at composting? I certainly haven't been in the past. But with the help of a community composting group called YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) I have become a kitchen scrap saviour, a leaf collecting ninja and I make steaming hot compost. In today's episode I talk to Lucy Young, Joel Meadows, Mikaela Beckley and Claudia Lang about what this group is all about and why they are passionate about compost. (Spoiler: reducing greenhouse gasses, connecting community, building beautiful soil) | 57m 55s | ||||||
| 9/24/23 | ![]() S5 E15 Salad with Soul | Recent episodes have been looking at the farmers out at the Harcourt Organic Farming Cooperative. We've been out there to explore how farming and agriculture might be done in a way that is earth, biodiversity and humanity friendly. Each and every one of the farmers talked about how important the support of the local community has been, and how much enthusiasm they have received from people who get what they are trying to do, even if it costs a bit more and is not as convenient as shopping at the supermarkets. But it isn’t just individuals buying for their families that support these farmers and so this week we're looking at small businesses who prioritise locally produced food, these are people who go to the extra effort and often spend extra time working with the farmers through the ups and downs, wins and losses of seasons and years and changing weather. This episode features: Mel from Gung Hoe Growers Alex Perry from Bar Midland Paul and Patricia from Sprout Bakery Sas Allardice - co-founder of Gung Hoe Growers Links: Gung Hoe Growers HOFC – Harcourt Organic Farming Cooperative Sprout Bakery and their Instagram Bar Midland Other Related Episodes: S4 E17 Djakitj Larr – Eating Country Healthy part 1 S4 E17 Djakitj Larr – Eating Country Healthy part 2 S5 E11 An Incredible Octopus – with Katie Finlay S5 E12 The Orchard Keepers S5 E13 Micro Dairy S5 E14 Love and Garlic S1 E06 Gung Hoe Growers with Sas and Mel S1 E05 Mount Alexander Fruit Garden S2 E13 Food Security and Farmers Markets S5 E07 Root to Tip with Duang | 55m 58s | ||||||
| 9/3/23 | ![]() S5 E14 Love and Garlic - Gung Hoe Growers | It has been almost a decade of effort and love and garlic from Gung Hoe Growers – supplying our local community through the local farmers market, selling to cafes and restaurants and providing boxes of veg to seasonal and annual subscribers. Many have felt sadness on hearing that Gung Hoe will not be renewing their lease out at the Harcourt Organic Farming Cooperative. This episode is a big chat with Mel about how and why this has happened and how this reflects on our farming and food production systems.

| 8/7/23 | ![]() S5 E13 Micro Dairy with Tess Sellar | We are heading back out to the Harcourt Farming Cooperative – this time to talk to Tess Sellar who runs a herd of 10 or so dairy cows and supplies organic milk and yoghurt to our local community. Tess uses regenerative farming practices, re-usable glass containers and does countless other things to make her micro-dairy as low impact as possible.

| 7/24/23 | ![]() S5 E12 The Orchard Keepers | Following on from the last episode about the Harcourt Farming Cooperative, today we are looking at The Orchard Keepers. They are part of the grand experiment of this farming cooperative, having taken over the orchard management a couple of years ago. They are using organic and regenerative practices and they are not just farmers, but they are visionaries and committed activists through the work they do on and in the soil. Listen as we discuss the challenges and joys of taking on a mature orchard and trying to make a go of farming with young kids and extreme weather.

| 7/10/23 | ![]() S5 E11 An Incredible Octopus with Katie Finlay | This is the first of four episodes that will be released about the Harcourt Organic Farming Cooperative. Long term listeners may remember two episodes from season one that captured conversations with farmers from the cooperative as it was just beginning back in 2018. I’ve been following the process of this cooperative with interest since it began because it is a fascinating case study of alternative farming... that is, an alternative to large scale, monocultural farming which contributes to climate change rather than helping mitigate it. Listen to Katie talking about what it has been like to open her family farm up to young farmers and the co-op - what she affectionately describes as an incredible octopus!

| 6/26/23 | ![]() S5 E10 Plastic Free July with Rebecca Prince-Ruiz | Plastic Free July had humble beginnings in back in 2011 when Rebecca Prince-Ruiz had the idea of refusing to buy or accept single use plastics for the month of July, just to see if she could. She asked people around her if they wanted to do it too and now it is a global movement with an estimated 140 million people from 195 countries participating in 2022. I wanted to Talk to Rebecca, not only because she is amazing, but also, Plastic Free July is truly a grassroots movement that has made a global impact. And I was so curious to hear how it started and how it grew. Rebecca is also overflowing with stories of people making change at all levels of society and business and she happily delves into discussions about balancing personal responsibility with demanding action from corporations and governments and we also had some great questions from the audience as well.

| 6/12/23 | ![]() S5 E09 Walking Together | How can local councils and Traditional Owners work collaboratively towards climate and environmental goals? Today's episode explores one way to get things going. Back in November 2022 Djaara – the Traditional Owners in Central Victoria where Saltgrass is made – invited representatives from local councils to gather on Country and workshop how Djaara and councils can co-design climate strategies and manage environmental issues together. Along with the audio from the workshop there is an extended interview with the organisers of that event that includes Oli Moraes from Djaara, Melanie Marshall, Climate Change Coordinator at Mount Alexander Shire Council – my local council and Dr Alexander Saeri – or Zan – from Monash University and Behaviour Works Australia.
