It's really important that we're sure we didn't bring the life over from earth, and maybe we already have. Who knows? I think that it is perfectly acceptable to use harmless microbes to our advantage, however, it's also important to make sure it isn't going to be able to infect us. Although it is extremely unlikely that any bacteria or virus on Mars has evolved to infect multi-cellular organisms because - as far as we know - there aren't any on Mars. There is a tiny chance that some species did exist on Mars once when there was liquid water, and maybe there could be dormant diseases that do have the potential to infect

My wife is doing a project to bring some green to the nearby main street, and seed balls is one of the things that comes up all the time. But several experts have told her also, that although seed balls are a neat idea that can be fun to prep, they don't do nearly as well as actually planting the seeds. So in your case, I would have used a stick to poke a hole and jam the ball in. Doesn't save you any hiking though.

Hampus Ettehag Nothing to do with taste buds, capsaicin binds to the trpv receptors, which detect pain due to high temperatures. They do not detect taste, and are not taste buds. Birds, reptiles, fish, and amphibians have a different version of the trpv receptor, so capsaicin cannot bind to it. They do not experience *any* effect from capsaicin, because they do not have the receptor that it binds to at all.

Easier way to make seed balls: buy mini-ice cube trays or bath bomb molds, fill halfway , sprinkle seeds, fill the rest of the way, compress lightly. Shape doesn't really matter, and on steeper areas of the ranch an ice cube tray with a flat bottom would keep them from rolling downhill.

Gustavo Renó Going through the effort of making a clay mud ball for every individual seed is also time consuming. In Australia to revegetate large areas quickly you’d just buy a bunch of tubestock for cheap and in the winter use a drain spade for mass planting. Definitely more expensive than using seeds, but a way higher success rate and less effort.

My parents own a tree sapling plantation, we plant the spruce seeds in neutralised peat and cover them with about half an inch of peat. After one year in the greenhouse they are ready to be planted on a field and after two years on the field they are ready for the Forrest. In Estonia that's how we do it. For you I'd suggest you just grow the saplings for a year and then plant them since they are usually strong enough to survive in the grass. Love your videos Cody, keep up the good work

Hey cody if you have any small streams that pop up In wet weather or snow melt you should try and build natural dams to keep water in the valley. much like a beaver would in the wild. It keeps the water around longer increasing the plant and wild life in the area. I've seen valleys with and with out beavers and it's a stark difference.

for mass production you could get candy moulds that are semispheres. Scrape the clay-dung mixture into them, knock them out, then do it again, but place a seed into each one and put the loose halves ontop before knocking them out.

Don't spread them out perfectly. It's ugly when you have all trees planted in a row. Generate a bunch of uniformly distributed random coordinates, maybe removing some of the points that are too close together if need be.

Cody, it seems as though the limiting factor for long term tree growth is fire, not seeding. Yes, I watched your video about low tree branches and dry grass, but your area has regular fires driven by the slope and wind. It would seem prudent to address fire breaks, in addition to seeding. I think, as others have expressed as well, that mature seedlings have the best chance, planted on the north face of every rise. Love your videos and congratulations on 1.7M!!! I'm proud to be one of them.
