EKWisner commented:

@robertsmi9 I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of boiling the water in the barrel; the chimney appears to vent smoke past the barrel, not steam from the barrel itself. Rocket stoves can boil a large pot of water quickly. Vents or safety plugs good. (Though if it's only run on demand, the flowi...

Fascinating! So does the seed ball gives the seeds the same 'advantage' as a hole or fresh-tilled field, but without digging? Or is it more a case of just saving time and convenience for the sower?
