Use permaculture principles or agroecological design (see  www.agroecology.org/ ) and please, please please understand that the tremendous potential of seedballs comes with responsibilities: I work in ecological restoration in Australia and people that wanted to do good - feeding their family - screwed up big time: it's all about species selection. Do not propagate non-native species, please.

Hi,
I am very interested in gathering information on Seedballs.
Where do you live ?
You used grey clay with success ?
Any idea of your germination rate ?
Take care
Thanks

if your town uses auto watering you can start little flower gardens all over. I brodcast flower seeds everywhere and more often than not i see the results a month or 2 later! Also i have ninja planted avocado seeds in many towns,just make sure to put them in an area that they can grow into trees without being chopped.
