About Seed balls
A seed ball  is a seed that has been wrapped in soil materials, usually a mixture of clay and compost, and then dried. The seed is, therefore, pre-planted and can be sown by depositing the seed ball anywhere as long as the species can survive there. The wrapping mixture keeps the seed safe until it can properly germinate.
