Throw a seed bomb: Seed bombs are a way to distribute seeds by wrapping them in a mixture of clay and compost. This protects the seeds by preventing them from drying out in the sun, getting eaten by birds, or from blowing away.
Seed bombs are scattered on the ground, not planted. They’re great for bringing life to derelict ground and places with dry thin soil  – so they are good for guerilla gardening.
Seed bombs are easy to sow secretly or chuck over fences… When sufficient rain has permeated the clay, the seeds inside sprout and are aided by the nutrients and beneficial soil microbes surrounding them.

Make your seed bombs by mixing 1 part seeds with 5 parts clay
and 3 parts compost, adding water as necessary to make a good muddy clay consistency.

Roll up the mixture into little balls. Allow to dry in a cool dry place for about 3 days.

Then throw them in sorry looking places and wait for a splatter of rain
