Food resources

Hi,

just another thought though minor.

Perhaps as you are out for a drive/picnic/on your way to work you can practice the art of 'seed bombing'! Friends of mine are currently doing this in order to establish organic veges on major & minor traffic/pedestrian routes at the very moment. They are purchasing seed & fertiliser, mixing it into ball type shapes and placing them were they will be fed by run-off or rain water and then grow and self-sow while waiting for someone to come along and discover this free vege haven.

You can do this and it won't impinge on anybody, just take a little time and effort on your part to make and locate. You can also mark on maps were this has been done for future reference. One of my friends also puts a flower bomb nearby since she can't live without beautiful flowers in her life as well but is mindful of not using any that will overtake the native bush flora. Also serves as a marker to the fact that there is a vege patch located nearby and to keep an eye out for it.

Cheers,

Vesta.
