Seedball

The seedball planting technique was developed by Masanobu Fukuoka, and it's an effective way to seed large areas, such as meadows or wild lands, with grasses and trees. Seedball is a mixture of clay and various seeds, that allows the seeds to stay protected inside the ball until it rains, and the conditions become favourable for sprouting.

 

The Milkwood guys have spread the seedballs with grasses to revive the soil in preparation for food forest planting.
