          Seed bombing is where you make a mix of seeds and form into a ball (with clay or something similar usually). You can then throw them in random places (or specific I suppose) for germination!

          My hubby and I will be rehabbing the disturbed areas of our land with native seeds, so this will probably be one of our methods.           Posted 7 years ago

            That's so cool! If I may ask, purely from a naturalist interest, how big is your land?
            No worries if you don't want to share that.             Posted 7 years ago

              22.5 acres or 9.1 hectares at this point. We'd like to purchase more of the forested land around us in time. :) Fortunately, we are surrounded by a lot of it! Posted 7 years ago

                Nice, that's quite big! I know you'd be a good steward of it. Posted 7 years ago

                  Thanks, Ferdy! We are going to try our best!

                  We wish we had the money to protect more of the land around us!                   Posted 7 years ago

              Would ripping out all of their invasive, nonnatives be a crime? :D Posted 7 years ago

                  Sounds like a plan! ;) They need their lawnmower privileges taken away too. They mow 2-4 times a week! Posted 7 years ago
