Seed bombs are one of the least risky weapons of guerrilla gardening. They generally consist of small balls, no bigger than a tennis ball, made of seeds, clay and compost. They are intended to be thrown by the \u201cguerrilla gardeners\u201d in places that are difficult to access or where it is very risky to be around for a long time.<\/span>because it requires a full-fledged sowing.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The shape of the seed bomb is up to you. There are round ones (for those who are handy or not very skilled at crafts) and hand grenade-shaped ones (the most obvious and "belligerent"). <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This system, devised by Masanobu Fukuoka (Japanese farmer, biologist and philosopher) with the aim of improving Nature's production with the least possible intervention, makes it possible to replace the plough, scarecrow and other methods.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Guerrilla gardener Richard Reynolds, who has been attacking and transforming neglected and barren gardens and public spaces in London since 2004, has carefully selected types of seed bombs and the like. He singles out the classic bomb, which Reynolds describes as a mixture of clay, compost and seeds in a ratio of 5:1:1. This is mixed with water and rolled into balls of a size that is easy to throw. <\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n
  1. \u2013 mix ten parts of soil with one part of clay<\/li>\n
  2. \u2013 add water until it forms a moldable dough<\/li>\n
  3. \u2013 spread the dough on a surface and sprinkle the seeds<\/li>\n
  4. \u2013 knead again until the dough is homogeneous<\/li>\n
  5. \u2013 make balls until the mixture is finished<\/li>\n
  6. \u2013 let them dry somewhere with air, without sun; and when they are hard: <\/li>\n
  7. \u2013 dump it in the vacant lots in your neighborhood.<\/li>\n

    <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

  8. \u2013  The balls will break up with the first heavy rain, and the seeds will begin to sprout, until then protected from animals and the weather.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  9. \u2013 follow up and visit your intervention, come back in a month to see how the germination is going.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
