Talk:Seed bombing

http://greenmuseum.org/artist_index.php?artist_id=3 tells of an example. It would be nice if we could get some practical bomb building hints. what kind of container works best to get maximum effect. I presumed that they should burst on impact, but the illustrations I saw are not consistent. The ingredient proportions for maximum yield. Perhaps the proportions depend on the target property, or perhaps on the bomb ingredients. Perhaps some seeds are not effective since presumably some seeds need to be buried to grow, or just need to be in a solid missile that does not burst. All of these issues require more research than I have time for at the moment. 66.44.54.6 13:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC) Might some seed bombings or ingredients be considered dangerous, or malicious? Care to avoid accidentally including poison ivy root, briers, or other plants that might take over or ruin a garden? Possibly, some shrubs might provide screening for muggers or drug dealers.

Incorporate into Seed ball article?
I think this article could be incorporated in to the Seed ball article. 89.240.7.86 (talk) 17:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Just to point out also, that in the 'History' section there is the assertion that the earliest re-forestation seeding activities (from the air) dates back to the 1930's in the mountains of Honolulu after a forest fire..etc. --- Well I'm sorry.. but I don't believe that Honolulu Hawaii has any 'mountains'. And I suggest that the location 'Honolulu' be changed to either Oahu Hawaii, Oahu, or simply Hawaii ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.153.214.126 (talk) 01:34, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Condoms
To paraphrase: "The first seed grenades were made from condoms.....[which] were tossed over fences....to make the neighborhoods look better." Surely this isn't very environmentally friendly and having condoms lying all over the place would make things look worse. Did this really happen or is it vandalism? --Stikman (talk) 21:35, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, well looking at the transcript thing (how stuff works) it seems that it was condoms and tomato seeds. Not sure how reliable this source is, so I'll just ask whether I should put it in or not? --Stikman (talk) 00:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC) (Forgot to sign)

Terminology
The term "seed grenade" was first used by Liz Christy in 1973 when she started the "Green Guerrillas". The first seed grenades were made from condoms filled with local wildflower seeds, water and fertilizer. They were tossed over fences onto empty lots in New York City in order to make the neighborhoods look better. It was the start of the guerrilla gardening movement.

This is that whole paragraph incase anyone needs it. I put the only ref I found in the main article--Stikman (talk) 08:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
