Dowerin, we're coming!

This year the Baileys Commercial team will be at Dowerin Machinery Field Days catching up with WA farmers and talking all things soil health.

We're looking forward to sharing the latest results from Bio-Char Boost, our liquid biochar technology that helps improve water retention, nutrient efficiency and long-term soil resilience. Backed by university research and local WA field trials, it's an exciting step forward for growers looking to get more from every millimetre of rainfall.

If you're interested in regenerative farming, soil carbon, drought resilience or simply improving your soil performance, come and have a chat. We are on site 76 on the Sports Oval.

Your verge is more powerful than you think.

A simple verge garden can help bring nature back into our suburbs, creating habitat for birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

These small green spaces act as stepping stones, connecting our natural environment and making our streets greener, cooler, and more beautiful.

The best part? You don’t need a huge backyard to make a difference. A thriving verge garden supports local biodiversity and helps build a stronger sense of community right outside your front door.

Whether you’ve created a stand-out verge of your own, or know someone who deserves a helping hand, Baileys Verge Awards are open now with more than $25,000 in prizes on offer, including a $10,000 cash award for Perth’s Best Verge and three $5,000 verge makeovers
