GUERILLA GARDENING
Fighting against the concrete jungle

Guerilla Gardening is the act of illicitly transforming grim dead places into 
colorful botanical paradises. Creating clandestine gardens, planting flowers 
and all sorts of flora in abandoned lots, patches of dirt, city streets, all 
sorts of concrete dullness in/around public places.

You will be transforming miserable dead land into the colorful botanical 
splendor of life.

One of the most ideal ways to do this is to create 'seed green-nades' - these 
are small sphere shaped  (non-explosive) 'seed bombs' made out of clay, 
compost and seeds which are easily thrown anywhere. Because they are pretty 
much self-contained with nutrients, the sphere will give the seeds some much 
needed starting power, especially in poorer soil areas.

This is ideal to transform urban decayed wasteland and empty lots into 
blossoming flower /plant fields - attracting birds, insects (bees!) and 
making everything much nicer. Now is the time to do this - its very little 
effort and also fun to do - become a Guerilla Gardener today!

What you need to make a seed green-ade:

1 part mixed seeds
3 part living compost
5 parts of red clay
0.2 parts of chili powder to repel insects and birds eating the seeds.
- If you are really into that stuff you can make uniforms too, or patches of 
your para-military Guerilla Gardening group.

About the seeds you can use, this depends a bit on what you want to achieve 
and what will grow in your area and type of soil it has to grow on. Do some 
research, its always good to have a mix of lots of different seeds. Take in 
consideration things like weather, how much water there will be, how much sun 
there is, cardinal direction etc. Also think on a 'psychological' level: you 
can make a depressing grim area nicer by seeding colorful rich smelling 
plants (Flowers like lavender, Daffodils, Honeysuckle, Jasmin, lilac but also 
all sorts of herbs; Rosemary, catmint,  Marjoram, Sage, Basil etc.etc.etc.)

You can choose resilient plants that will grow anywhere, seeds that will give 
flowers that attract bees and help the wild bee population, seeds that will 
grow plants that enrich the soil etc.etc.etc. Your local gardening store or 
whatever most probably sells boxes of special seed mixes or else get a bunch 
of different seed packs and throw them together.
Be respectful of the local flora habitat don't put in invasive damaging 
species or weeds that will destroy everything.

Mix all this stuff together and knead them into small balls, say somewhere in 
between a jawbreaker and a golf ball.

Put them all in a bag and start planning your mission. Do you need to be 
covert? Do it when its dark, wear dark clothing and operate in a stealthy 
fashion. If there is no danger of getting caught or nobody cares about the 
spot where you are going to do gardening you can do it in broad daylight and 
make it a bit of a public happening.

Another way of 'covertly' operating in broad public daylight (hide in plain 
sight) is wearing some official looking apparel - an overall, a work shirt 
and cap with some logo on it, maybe even a walkie-talkie, clipboard or a 
'danger' pylon. People will mind their own business thinking you work for 
some city gardening department.

If the spot is difficult to get to, throw the seed bombs over fences and 
places you can't reach.
