Seed bomb away!!!
I played a lot of Army when I was growing up. Start with a bunch of 10 year old boys, throw in some Maine woods, some plastic toy guns, and clumps of mud (or grenades as we thought of them) and you’d get a whole weekend of pure fun.
So seed bombing definitely appeals to the 10 year old in me. Seed bombing is the act of tossing balls of clay, dirt, and seeds into vacant lots and other urban areas in need of some green. After a good rain and some time in the sun the seeds sprout out and make that spot of urban blight just a little bit greener.
Check out this DIY video showing the best way of undertaking your own green guerrilla seed bomb campaign.

YAY for seed bombing!
I tried launching seedballs with a bunch of volunteers during a planting event. It was a lot of fun! Especially when we tried to hit the volunteer coordinator, who was also trying to direct our fire. The only problem is no one really knows if it works. We were planting in the same area so it’s hard to tell if the new plants were from planting or seed balls.
