I know seedballs are used in Oz.The "ash to stop animals eating them" bit I haven't heard of.
At first glance it looks like a great idea.The accounts of the huge changes to plant cover of the continent with the introduction of sheep and cattle (especially but also rabbits, goats, camels and horses too) are troubling to read.

#SeedBombs are great fun for children and adults!
"Whether it's a plant pot, flowerbed, wild patch in your lawn or an entire #meadow, sowing #wildflowers in your #garden provides vital resources to support a wide range of insects that couldn't otherwise survive in urban or built-up areas.
Throwing, breaking up or digging ‘seed bombs’ (or balls) into areas in your garden that need a little brightening up is a perfect way of spending an afternoon!
You will need:
- Meadow flower seeds or seeds collected from the garden.
- Peat-free compost.
- Powdered clay (found in craft stores)
- Mixing bowl.Creating your seed bomb:
1. In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of seeds with 5 cups of compost and 2-3 cups of clay powder (you could use clay soil instead if you have it).
2. Slowly mix in water with your hands until everything sticks together.
3. Roll the mixture into firm balls.
4. Leave the balls to dry in a sunny spot.
5. Now for the fun bit! Plant your seed bombs by throwing them at bare parts of the garden and wait to see what pops up!
Top plants to include in your seed bombs:
- Bulbous #Buttercup - Ranunculus bulbosus
- #Chamomile - Chamaemelum nobile
- Common Bird’s-foot-trefoil - Lotus corniculatus
- Common Knapweed - Centaurea nigra
- Common Spotted-orchid - Dactylorhiza fuchsii
- Lady's bedstraw - Galium verum
- Red #Clover - Trifolium pratense
- Wild #Thyme - Thymus polytrichusSource: https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/actions/how-make-seed-bomb

Thinking about using #seedballs for the primary school #wildlife #ForestGarden. I like the idea that they’re very tactile for the kids to use on an area of prepared soil. Has gotten me to thinking about seed mixes for low fertility growing mediums like concrete 🤔

As green comet C/2022 E3 passes overhead, we're releasing 'Green: Multispecies Entanglings', a reader from FoAM's Anarchive. 🌱 Planted firmly on the Earth, contributors explore how we relate to the plants, animals, landscapes, and other beings with whom we share our planet. 🌍 Blending shades of green to paint possible futures where gardening and gathering, fieldwork and storytelling, contemplation and experimentation foster reciprocal relationships with the living world. Nobody walks the path alone. 🗺️

Warum mühsam Löcher für #Setzlinge graben, wenn es mit #Saatkugeln einfacher geht?
#Kenia soll grüner werden. Warum aber mühsam Löcher für #Setzlinge graben, wenn es eine einfachere Lösung gibt?
#Seedballs werfen zum Beispiel – einen Versuch ist es wert.

Kleine Kugeln für mehr Grün
In Kenia sollen Samenkugeln die Versteppung der Landschaft aufhalten. Wenig Aufwand, grosse Wirkung – so die Hoffnung. Im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel zählt jede Maßnahme.
