Neat idea, totally ill-advised.

 

[SilverSurfer_OG]

But you would agree a step up from carpet bombing land mines?

I realised after posting this is actually from 1999... but yeah neat idea. Perhaps once we terraform mars?

No, I mean solid state fuel rockets aren't the answer, gas-turbine now we are talking mileage efficiency without raising an eye brow buying rocket fuel. j/k lolz

Going to make some seedbombs on the weekend. Here is a crazy idea, anyone have a RC plane or quad copter, even a reg copter. Make a simple bomb hold and fly over some nice forested areas and drop payload... I was even thinking of using my slingshot for getting distance

here is a link about using helium balloons http://www.balloonsgalorelansing.com/environment.html
Im going to take a look at costco to see if they have a helium balloon kit there

Now you've got a plan!

 

[jkahndb0]

I would just toss seeds around as i walked through the forest... But this is a much better method.. I have 100s+++ of seeds lying around, gonna make these "bombs" and toss them EVERYWHERE!... ( we don't have guerrilla growers near me, so that's not an issue)
Wouldn't releasing a mass of balloons be bad for the environment?

 

[Can420]

If you get enviro balloons that breakdown youll be okay.

I picked up the 50 balloon kit from costco and I have a couple of friends willing to donate seeds also. But i might have to buy another kit, cuase my friends seem to have alot more seeds to donate then i expected.

I was thinking about seed bombs today, thinking of places I'd love to drop some. I don't have very many seeds, though, and I have to risk ordering them through the mail.

 

[Easy7]

A model rocket could probably handle a few dozen seeds. Just put them in the flame retardent paper, that keeps the chute from flaming. Shoot it over a corn field, lol!!

 

[DreamsofTesla]

I don't know about a corn field, they're likely to go completely unnoticed. I think it would be awesome to put them on busy city streets in places where they won't get mowed.

I think the main objective of seed bomning, is for it to be as in your face, as much as possible. In the alleyways, along sidewalks with a border, fence lines, your city's huge planters pots downtown! Any place out in the open, that has a chance for the seed to take hold, will make the powers-that-be spend the resources to, "get it all!"

Exactly. The object of the game isn't to harvest, it's to have those fan leaves popping up where they're least expected, to rattle the status quo. You know they're going to pull them as soon as they notice them. But when they see it, we win. Like ha ha fuckers, making a plant illegal? How's that working out?

Guerrilla bomber salutes you all

Guerrilla bomber salutes you all

I am a guerrilla bomber too !

I make seed bombs with all my spare bag seed.

Threw a bunch behind the 5-0 building into their garden - woods.



The Man who brought this idea mainstream is one of my Gurus his name is Masanobu Fukuoka, a pioneer in the Organic movement and the writter of the One-straw Revolution, a must read book about organic farming.

[trichrider]

fill with seed, then with water. throw into planters, flower beds, fencerows, where ever you want to overgrow...

 

[Tudo]

Love it!

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Hey T-rider so then how do the seeds end up growing.

 

[OvergrowDaWorld]

I always have bagseed on me that Ive collected over the years of growing.
I put beans in the soil of the plants they sell at supermarkets.

sorry to tell you but this is a waste of time and seeds..My family owns a large nursery and I know quite a few other nursery owners.. we all use chemicals to make sure random seeds will not sprout in our pots.. almost all nurseries do it to keep weeds out of the pots...

we use Preen.. http://www.preen.com/products/flowers-trees-shrubs/weed-preventer


Sorry to spoil your fun...
