Japanese seed ball technique helps revegetate rocky hill tops

04 Nov, 2009 09:26 AM
Bush Heritage hosted a clay seed-ball workshop at Scottsdale Reserve near Berridale on Sunday 25 October.

Volunteers braved the gloomy conditions and headed out to Bush Heritage's Scottsdale Reserve, 45 minutes south of Canberra, to perform an ancient Japanese technique of revegetation in hope to patch up the once heavily cleared landscape.

The technique - known as clay seed-balling - utilities the ancient technique of native habitat restoration whereby clay is mixed with compost and ten species of native tree shrub before being rolled into small balls.
