Seed Balls

According to details, seed balls have a survival rate that is 80% higher than that of conventional seeds. The process of encasing seeds in a mixture of soil and clay, sometimes known as “Earth Balls“, makes it simple to plant without the need for substantial digging. As a result, seed balls are among the easiest and most effective ways to plant trees.

Providing Benefits

Additionally, seed balls also offer the benefit of possibly dispersing vegetation with minimal soil disturbance. The seed balls simply thrown or placed on the ground using this technique, allowing them to sprout and grow in harmony with the surrounding environment.
