Instead of making clay balls, especially with legume seeds, you can soak them for 24 hours in water, let them drain in a natural cloth like a cotton sheet and then sow them directly. If you need huge quantities, you can buy bags of food for animals. This is much cheaper, as you need 200 kg seeds / hectare - 440 lbs / 107639.10 ft². Please note that mais and soy for example are a lot of times genetically modified. Always check this is not the case! We are sowing a mixture of peas, oat and barley.

Awakening the soil on a dry piece of land. Starting up a Natural Farm with sowing green manure. Our climate has very cold winter nights with temperatures below -15 degrees Celcius and very hot summers. It is very dry with 2 moments of rain in autumn and spring. This is why we sow 2 times a year. One time in autumn (September/October) before the rain and one time in spring (March/April) before the rain. If you are in a mild climate you can sow everything in autumn.
