They are used, for example for\u00a0<b>reforestation projects<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<b>guerrilla gardening<\/b>. They are 100% ecological, but very efficient at the same time. Another famous name for seed bombs is \u201c<b>nendo dango<\/b>\u201d, the name given to them by the\u00a0 Japanese rediscoverer\u00a0<b>Masanobu Fukuoka<\/b>. This old sowing technique dates back many thousands of years. Already in Ancient Egypt people used seed bombs to plant food after flooding had destroyed their fields. Fakuoka rediscovered this method and made it famous.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u00a0a very\u00a0<b>environmentally friendly, cheap and natural sowing system<\/b>\u00a0that protects the seeds from being eaten by forest animals such as birds and mice., The seeds are set free and start to germinate, only when the rain dissolves the balls. The\u00a0<b>soil<\/b>\u00a0given to the seed bombs adds\u00a0<b>nutrients<\/b>\u00a0and helps the plant to grow. Due to this, there is no need to prepare the soil where the plant is supposed to grow in advance and you can save a lot of time and effort.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more in the post by <a href=\"http:\/\/socialforest.org\/en\/nendodango-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">Social Forest<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 269px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/y6wiqmkocPAIm4S-PZ2gXDcQENCh1V3F6MYVSXLXGR_PLqpfWybbrvzxx1VMlB98mbhO5oTqae3tnzMutQGCDcKQG1hTW0D3JqQtFIta-mOdJuVAvkIezAzY_gywICdJXLUhgVGmBtOPzY9oxg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"346\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Social Forest<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 351px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/o2R7iemTKo0Mn5C5oKa4DgRcbn02wbgfRK-MfEXnfghqSJ47FPWue8I54KyBxTqt_rBq5ymfd9pmEtaIt0SUWbKu0ucXtUB_ErfZybEsy5GOPh0HvqoUkf9hx1GYTCn0_tQRGN-Ru-EYHUW6hw\" alt=\"\" width=\"341\" height=\"255\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Social Forest<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the C5 action of the Life+PINASSA, the company Social Forest has been responsible for planting pine trees to improve the habitat of the native forests of Catalonia.
