In this Episode I run through the whole process for making Seed Balls Using Leaf Mold IMO (Inoculant). I share the Seed Mix I'm using w/ Nitrogen fixing legumes for support plants in the food forest and apply and document the germination progress.
Why make seed balls?
Yes you could plant the seeds alone, but the germination rate won’t be the same by broadcasting alone. Seed bombs are pre-planted. By making seed balls you are adding an inoculant together with the seeds forming symbiotic relationships from the get-go. Plants grow better in community’s and this is a way to create community’s from the very inception of sowing seeds, in planting companion crops together and equally distributing consortiums. These are a few reasons to make seed balls.
