seed bombing
Tossing plant pellets
Seed bombing is the practice of scattering seeds—often in balls of clay and compost—onto neglected or inaccessible land to encourage plant growth.
The technique is associated with guerrilla gardening, where activists green urban spaces without permission: We went seed bombing along the abandoned rail line.
The seeds may be wildflowers, native plants, or food crops.
