I try not to refer to them as weeds now, but more weedy species.
When you think of weeds, it is worth looking at what the weed does. Cape weed for instance grows very well in areas that are low in calcium. Their deep tap root helps to bring calcium up to the surface which makes it available for other plants after it dies and breaks down.
I think understanding your weeds and perhaps look at them more as moving nutrients rather than "a weed" is beneficial.  Elements don't break down, but shift and move around.
If you feel they are robbing your soil of nutrients, then pull them as soon as possible.  If they are taking over, you need to get onto them before they seed. Just remember what you are pulling up has your nutrients, so you don't want to throw it away.
I hope this helps.

Hi Jason,
Welcome to the Aussie thread. Not sure who your post is directed to, but here goes:
We live in central NSW and have been living off grid since 1986. Permies is a forum for learning, sharing, and understanding. I am looking forward to sharing your experiences.
Cheers

I Paul,
My email was directed at Steve, but I would also love to hear what you are doing also.
I often do road trips so I could possibly even pop in to see you.
How is the best way to get into contact with you?

Jason

Hey mate,

It looks amazing. 🤩

Any in Australia?

Hey Frank,

I am in Australia and just trying to find someone that isn't precious about getting dirt under their nails.
I love being outside and connecting with nature.
Looking for my own piece of land also so I can start my own organic farm. Nothing huge, but enough for me.
Ultimate dream would be to acquire enough land to start a community project, bringing like minded people together to create a paradise of sorts.

Here in Australia, any produce that is coming into the country is exposed to mild radiation to kill off pathogens and diseases.  It also renders the seed useless.  Which is frustrating yet essential to protect our own biodiversity.  I am not sure if it is the same for other countries.

Omg, I am loving this.   Thank you so much for sharing. I will try this next time ❤️
