Rewilding is a new, (pro)active approach to biodiversity conservation. The abandonment of rural areas worldwide provides huge opportunities for developing rewilding projects and creating new nature reserves.

Seed bombs are little clay-covered mounds of seeds and growing soil. Masanobu Fukuoka incorporated his ancestral gardening techniques into his own farming methods and, in so doing, started a revolution. They’re often used to help reseed natural plants to wild areas and they were made popular by guerilla gardeners.

Seed balls, also known as earth balls or nendo dango (Japanese: 粘土団子), consist of seeds rolled within a ball of clay and other matter to assist germination. They are then thrown into vacant lots and over fences as a form of guerilla gardening. Matter such as humus and compost are often placed around the seeds to provide microbial inoculants. Cotton-fibres or liquefied paper are sometimes added to further protect the clay ball in particularly harsh habitats. An ancient technique, it was re-discovered by Japanese natural farming pioneer Masanobu Fukuoka.

Development of technique

The technique for creating seed balls was rediscovered by Japanese natural farming pioneer Masanobu Fukuoka.[1] The technique was also used, for instance, in ancient Egypt to repair farms after the annual spring flooding of the Nile. Masanobu Fukuoka developed his technique during the period of the Second World War, while working in a Japanese government lab as a plant scientist on the mountainous island of Shikoku. He wanted to find a technique that would increase food production without taking away from the land already allocated for traditional rice production which thrived in the volcanic rich soils of Japan.[2][3]

37 reactions | Seed balls have an 80% growth success rate in comparison to regular seedlings.🌱 Steps to make a seed ball: 1. Mix equal proportions of red clay soil, black soil and compost. 2. Mix in 1 to 2 parts water slowly until you get a thick, dough-like consistency. 3. Break a small piece off and put the seed you have chosen at the centre (maximum of 3 seeds). Once you have placed your seed, roll the portion of dough between your hands into a marble-sized seed ball. Repeat with the rest of the soil. 4. Let them dry for 24-48 hours until they are fully dry before putting them in your garden or tossing them. #MyGreenSociety #ewastemanagement #wastemanagementdrive #carbonneutrality #carbonneutralbharat #carbonneutralbharat2070 #carbonneutralmumbai #GoGreen #sustainableliving #recycle #zerowaste #renewableenergy #green #climatecrisis #energy #carbonneutral #pollution #mumbai #environmentallyfriendly #plastic #plasticwaste #segregation #wetwaste #drywaste | My Green Society
