Human Habitats:Seed Bombs not War

Here in California water is very sacred and precious. In southern california we only get about 12 inches of rain a year. Trying to get newly planted seedlings to grow requires a great deal of water. Seed Bombs copy natures way of protecting a seed from harm from the elements of rain or wind or being eaten by a bird or other species. Ever look at a tree seed? Its always protected on the outside. As it lays in its environment thru the elements of rain/snow/wind etc. the outer shell eventually biodegrades... at this point the seed has been properly moistened to sprout when the light hits it. My seed bombs are made up of clay (from my garden) and seeds for a cover crop manure of oats, vetch, fava beans, and pea. The roots of this cover crop reach deep into the soil to bring up essential minerals like nitrogen. I grow this between seasonal food crop plantings then till it into the soil giving extra nitrogen for my next crop. Making the seed bombs are fun. Take some clay and make a small round pattie in your hand. Put some seeds (any kind you desire, they could be flowers as well) in the middle of the paddy then surround the paddy around the seeds to make a ball. Then throw them to your hearts content around your garden, that ugly abandoned lot, in parkways, anyplace you want beauty to shine! Then wait till some rainy days and voila! The sprouts emerge!
