Here's a recipe for a great garden:

• 1 Part: Dry Humus, from compost with live mycorrhizal fungi soil inoculates;
• 2 to 3 Parts: Dry Mixed Seeds, assortment (hundreds of kinds) of all desired plants;
• 5 Parts: Dry Red Clay, finely powdered and sifted, not grey or white clay;
• 1 to 2 Parts: Dry Fine Sand, cleaned and sifted (if clay does not have a little sand).

Mix ingredients DRY, turning and sifting to coat seeds with soil, clay, then add:

• 1 to 2 Parts: Water added a little at a time until the clay mix is easily workable.

What you end up with is a seed ball:

Seed Balls are one half inch diameter models of the living world. They can contain all the seeds for a complete habitat, or a wild or domestic garden. In a holographic way Each ball can contain the whole plant potential of the entire ecosystem. They require a fraction of the cost of planting or drilling and are hundreds of times faster. They can be made by anyone anywhere in the world where there is clay, soil, seed and water. Seed balls work on all scales, small to large, and can be air dropped over broad areas! Hundreds of kinds of mixed seeds, soil humus and dry powdered red clay, form the solid components of seed balls. When mixed with water and rolled into balls, they become little Adobe Gardens.

This bit of garden wisdom is comes from Masanobu Fukuoka and the details behind this can be found at this site. I encourage anyone who is interested in alternative gardening or farming to go to the site and learn about this method of seeding the Earth.
