What is slashing?

Slashing is the practice of cutting back vegetation that is too out of control for a mower or other small equipment. Usually attached to a tractor, a slashing deck is considerably wider than a standard mower to increase effective cutting width and reduce the time taken for larger blocks of land. The slashed material then sits on top of the grass and acts as a mulch.

Why should I slash?

• Increasing the mulch on the soil: Mulch can be collected and used on other areas of the property.
• Management of annual weeds: Slashing is a great tool in controlling weeds such as thistles & lantana, which can spread quickly.
• Management of woody weeds: Control of woody weeds like wild rosemary or wattles while they are small reduces the likelihood of a major weed control program once they become established.
• Reducing the bulk of a paddock: A large & overgrown pasture can be a potential fire hazard, particularly during a hot and dry summer season.
• Making it look neat and tidy: Tidying the yard and removing clutter can be a great stress relief so that you can enjoy all of your property.

When is the best time to slash my property?

Fire season in Queensland often begins in July and can run through to February, however, bushfires can occur at any time. Many landowners simply leave it too late to reduce the fire risk of overgrown fields or paddocks near sheds and buildings. Slashing reduces the risk by removing the potential fuel for a bushfire.

Ideally, you should be slashing before invasive weeds go to seed in order to reduce their spread.

If you are slashing following the grazing of cattle, when you should slash may depend on the seasonal variations of your property. Most cattle farmers agree slashing a paddock is useful in the weeks following moving a herd into the next paddock.
