I would start by checking soil pH and add lime if needed. I’d suggest, based on your weeds, it will be. A simple soil test kit is available from your garden centre or hardware store. Get the pH right and most of your weeds will fade away. When Weeds Talk is a great book to help figure lots of this out. Ask your local library to get it in.

Johnson Su compost takes 12 months but you can gain much benefit from vermicompost extracts and vermicompost is available for sale in Perth.

Ideally your covercrop seed should be treated with compost extract or the extract placed in furrow with the seed. Disc equipment is much better for placing your seed because it does less damage to your fungi.

Animals are very important. They add biology to the soil which is by far the biggest part of regen ag. Diversity helps too. Cattle followed by sheep followed by poultry is a good blend. The animals need to be very confined and moved often. Providing a mineral station with a diverse range of possible minerals needed. The animals will hammer those tubs that are most needed and leave the ones not needed. Then they crap it out and spread it for you.

Unless you are in a very dry region, irrigation is def NOT needed.

Look up bale grazing for your gravelly area. Again confine to a small area around each bale.

There are those who recommend spraying but these have not yet understood that tilling and spraying is what got us into this mess in the first place. Roundup kills soil biology.
