Seed Balls
December 29th, 2008
Seed balls are an easy way to revegetate arid areas - seeds are rolled into balls of clay and dry compost and scattered into reveg area, and the weather does the rest. The recipe is on the Path to Freedom site, sent in by Rose.

Thanks for putting this up - I think in our area it could be a great idea. Not sure about throwing them into the next door neighbor’s yard though - might start a seed ball fight!

Yes, a timely reminder to pick any bad seeds out of the ball before sowing!!
