That 'LiveAndPlay' link is so silly that I really feel it discredits Masanobu Fukuoka's ideas, or unfairly makes them look silly when they're not. It seems to be actually worse than nothing so I'm removing it. -- hr_oskar 22:38 Sept 24 2006
The following was placed in the middle of the lead in ref tags - assume it was meant for the talk page, as it's inappropriate in the article (as well as inaccurate and unsupported) Red58bill (talk) 05:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
"Some says there is no sense in using compost or any other fertilizer. Given the right temperature and sufficient humidity seeds will germinate because a seed contains everything it needs to germinate. Adding manure or compost can even be detrimental because microbes that decompose organic matter are different from microbes that colonize roots to feed the plant"
I don't know how to do it but it looks like the Seed bombing article could be incorporated in this one. 89.240.7.86 (talk) 17:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
John Easton, from Karnterter Corp is said to have submitted a patent on a seed ball process involving seed priming : http://www.ecoumenegolf.org/BGazon/Priming%20des%20graines%20-%2040.PDF ???Trente7cinq (talk) 08:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
There's his previous earlier Japanese patent for less advanced seedballs - where's that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by No essential nature (talk • contribs) 12:59, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
This section claims that "the start of guerrilla gardening" was the throwing of seed-bomb baloons in LA. I dispute that, and so does the Wikimedia page on Guerrilla gardening, which traces it back to the 1970s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.115.9.214 (talk) 06:45, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
I've fixed the source for the seed grenade. It looks like the website moved the page or something, causing the link to break. I've linked it to the correct transcript now. When Seed bombing was it's own article (or at least, when I found the source) the bombs were said to be made from a 'condom'. I've changed it back to that because that's what it says in the source. I'm not sure where balloon came from. If anyone has a better source, please feel free to replace it.--Stikman (talk) 18:57, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
While searching for sources on this articles I have found out that most of the linked articles were poorly researched and from not credible sources. Also, the article included some very strong unsubstantiated statements such as:
"Today aerial seeding is already regarded as a practical reforestation technique in a few countries. There it is fully operational. More than a million hectares of well-stocked forests in the United States, Canada, China, Australia, and New Zealand demonstrate its success. Some of these forests have been established despite seemingly adverse conditions-for example, on steep slopes and on overburden from strip mines. "
I could not find anything to support this, on the contrary I have found quite a few articles to indicate the exact opposite, so I am rewriting this section to reflect what indicated in reference sites. 0albannabla0 (talk) 06:05, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
The construction section includes the general mixture from which to form seed balls but does not give further details in what to do once the balls are finished. I will correct this by adding a sentence about how they will have to dry, which was already mentioned in the link named "Environmentalists Adopt New Weapon: Seed Balls" --Elizabeth Klosky (talk) 20:42, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Uprisingengineer reverted my reversion of their edits between 21 April 2020 and 6 May 2020; their edits added 6 new images to the 4 that already existed in the article. The last edit was the entirely unencyclopedic addition of three exclamation marks to an image caption, with the inappropriate summary "Have some fun with life." The three exclamation marks obviously need to be removed, but the 10 images now in the article are also way overkill. The WP:Image use policy says "The purpose of an image is to increase readers' understanding of the article's subject matter." It doesn't take 10 images to convey to a reader what a seed ball is. I believe the article should be reverted to its state after the 10 Nov 2019 edit. CodeTalker (talk) 19:22, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
