Tomorrow (Tuesday) we'll be making some seed bombs at the farm! Show up around 4pm and please bring some seeds (edible and local) and make some seed bombs for yourself. Also, I'll be going to grab a thing of clay before the event, but I don't know how much we'll be making/ how many people will show up. If anyone else wants to also grab some clay just make sure it will collapse in water and doesn't have any funky chemicals in it.
The event post is here:

For those of you who don't know, seed bombs are small (peanut m&m or bigger) balls made of clay and/or a clay-compost-fertilizer mixture packed with seeds that you toss into any bare dirt of ground (road medians, abandoned lots, etc.) in hopes of making it explode with life! When the rain hits, it disperses the clay and the seeds into the soil, avoiding the birds and sun that would kill them. A lot of seed bombers seem attracted to using wildflowers, but in hopes of populating our city with edible foliage I suggest we try it our way with local edible plants.
Cheers!
Jamie B.
