Masanobu Fukuoka Makes Seed Balls

He is one of my heros

It's pitty that the picture here is so unclear, I even a japanese cannot make out how this is really carried out. hmm..... , hard..... But, thanks for sharing this, anyway.

Seed balls: (Tsuchi Dango Earth Dumpling) consist of mixing one measure of seeds for next season's crop with 3 measures of compost and 5 measures of red clay, and sometimes manure then formed into small balls. Much less seed is used than in conventional growing, resulting in fewer plants which are smaller but stronger with a higher yield.

Masanobu Fukuoka's book One Straw Revolution can be found for free on a bunch of torrent sites, for those who are interested.

i have had this book on order from my local library for weeks AND AM STILL WAITING . If you could tell me where to find it on the net i would be very grateful

Masanobu Fukuoka died to 8.16 for the senility. I am sad.

making the seed balls isnt the hard part. the part you cant gather from just watching is the seed mixtures he uses. he said there are better mixes than others.

I read a 'One Straw Revolution' a long time ago - it talks about this technique.

Great video! Can you explain a little more? Like, the ingredients used, for example. Thank you for sharing it. :)

This is the old master at work. Watch many times and learn.
