Masanobu Fukuoka was a Japanese farmer who developed what many consider to be a revolutionary method of sustainable agriculture. He is also the author of "The One-Straw Revolution" and several other books examining both his philosophy and his method of farming.
In this short Japanese language video Fukuoka is seen teaching the seed ball making process hands on to a group of enthusiastic students.

the seeds wait in the balls protected from any birds, insects, or dry weather, for enough rain to set the processes off. then the billions of humus microlife in each ball come to life and set to work colonising the area where growing roots will have started. Meanwhile the nutrient rich clay which had a naturally polymerised skin has done its dry work and now feeds the seedlings which have their first roots in a perfect environment upon wet enough ground.
i have used seedballs and the results were amazing. mixing and rolling red clay from a pit with quality humus (with the white specks and mhicorozea) from the forest floor together with all sorts of different seeds, into small balls and then drying them out. they were sowed on plowed land and other plots .
I just checked out the Fukuoka Website. You've got to check this out !!! There is so a whole lot of knowledge from objective and observational Research contained in these methods.
