In this Episode I run through the whole process for making Seed Balls Using Leaf Mold IMO (Inoculant). I share the Seed Mix I'm using w/ Nitrogen fixing legumes for support plants in the food forest and apply and document the germination progress.
Why make seed balls?
Yes you could plant the seeds alone, but the germination rate won’t be the same by broadcasting alone. Seed bombs are pre-planted. By making seed balls you are adding an inoculant together with the seeds forming symbiotic relationships from the get-go. Plants grow better in community’s and this is a way to create community’s from the very inception of sowing seeds, in planting companion crops together and equally distributing consortiums. These are a few reasons to make seed balls.
Recipe:
Materials:
1 Part Seed Mix
3 Parts Leaf Mold IMO (or IMO3, IMO4, or Bio-active Compost)
5 Parts Red Clay
2 Parts clean water
(dechlorinated)

If you want to do this on a larger scale. Use a cement mixer and five gallon buckets, a hand full people can do a good size area, pretty fast. Each person just throw a small hand full every couple of feet.

AI bots running, I don’t even need my own analytics to make timestamps. lol

I am very interested to see the results after 30 and 60 days.

The success rate of seed balls has always been questionable. They need ideal conditions. Back in 1989, I dispersed what a previous gardener had created. Threw them on random hillsides, worked ground, garden beds. It was a waste of time. So many of these Fukuoka, permaculture and Steiner methods and concepts are just folksey. Intentionally plant your expensive seed in your human created habitat.

Why do you make the balls? You can just plant them which is much easier The balls are made for dissemination like airdropping on to a forest devastated by wildfire or for guerilla gardening You could have just planted the seeds Balls
