Spring is nearly here!Time to get ready for the planting season..
Take two parts native seeds and three parts compost..
add 5 parts clay and shape into little balls. Leave to dry for a day or two.
I used this recipe as I as a potter have easy access to clay - other variations here.. You can also use the air drying clay sold in craft stores, just not the plastic varieties!
I've always wanted to do this. They used to do it in Mexico in the wastelands left behind by intensive tomato production for McD's. Do you have to use clay, won't to compost do if you add a little water?
