I have been wanting to plant some borage near the apples to help with attracting bees for pollination, but the ground round the trees are mulched and the grass in between is mown. I also wanted to plant coriander, which is a plant which puts its roots down deep to bring up nutrients and help with reestablishment of microbial life.
Ivan said that in Holland he learnt to make seed balls. He started with a container each of soil, sand, and water. He put seeds in the bowl, added soil and shook it. Then a bit of sand, then a spray of water. Then he repeated it till they were of decent size.
When the seeds are thrown to the ground, they remain covered in this clay until the optimal conditions for sprouting. Hopefully this will work!
