Making Seed Balls for the Farm | Natural Farming Step 1

#naturalfarming #seedballs
Seed balls are a way to let the soil tell you what it can sustain. They are simply balls of red clay, a bunch of seeds from as many different plants as possible, and water. Once dried they can be thrown around different parts of the farm, and the clay will protect the seeds from being eaten by birds.
In this last episode from my trip to Ryunohara in January 2021, I make seed balls for February.
