Hello Friends, Neighbors, Family, Colleagues, Acquaintances and Fellow Members of The Busy, Overcommitted and Silent Majority,

I was tossing and turning at three am this morning, because I was concerned about a serious problem that most Vancouverites are not even aware of, and need to be. So I have gotten out of bed to write you this letter and ask for your help.

As promised, we did this today and it took two of us just over an hour to finish the job.

You see pictures taken as they grow here or here.

"Seed Balls are one half inch diameter models of the living world. They can contain all the seeds for a complete habitat, for 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 brown clay, form the solid components of seed balls. When mixed with water and rolled into balls, they become little Adobe Gardens."

Hi,

As I wrote here, the rain stopped.
