wow
great to hear of its success

so, no photos?

what was your mix?

great to hear about this.
where did the seed balls go on to? grass? soil? etc...
any photos at all?

thanks for the info
will be moving to sub tropical area at the end of the year
not at all familiar with that area as coming from cold

which are the 'good' types of clover? meaning the ones that work with vegetables, trees etc...?

i've tried sunflower here - they don't last a day here - tourists feed the birds sunflower seeds so they sense them all over the place. great story though!

if you do try again - would love to hear how you go.

would love to hear how that turns out - worth a shot i reckon

hi all - new to this method here was up most of the night going through this - wow!

just wanted to check about weed/ grass suppression as the initial image just had wood, followed by other material. weeds and grasses won't creep through?

i live opposite a forest that just recently got a working due to all the bush fires we have - wood, logs EVERYWHERE!

ah yes! duh! - mulching as well as seed balls would work great!

great reading about the different methods here

now, i think perhaps a 'food forest' out of seed balls would be difficult but what about say turning a lawn area into a more fertile realm (to establish conditions for a FF) using seed balls - using beneficial and strong plants to take over the lawn? it would take some time though....

and Paul is, I think, right on there - Fukuoka would always time his seed balling...Interesting that Paul had success moreso with direct seeding. I love that footage of Sepp just throwing seeds from a bucket and then going on a treasure hunt to see what made it. But, like Maikeru, I would have endless bird/pest issues

Mark - I didn't quite understand the third method - could you explain a bit further?

good points maikeru

so you've done seed balls in the past? how'd they go?
