the seed balls are so cool. gonna have to see if i can find some product like that here in Europe. to do some illegal nativizing of green spaces in my city that are full of grass and linden trees and buxus right now
@@karljiks Thanks for your comment! The seedballs do really well in arid areas as they keep the seeds protected for a long period of time and first get activated on heavy rainfall.
@@thefoodforestnamibia thank you! I started a few years ago with digging down cactus were I was planting my veggiegarden and my support trees were exploding in growth..
@thefoodforestnamibia great! I would try different types of trees to see which like them the most. Belive it could be a good idea to put a few in most holes. When I put too much it collapses when they decompose and I have to continue filling the hole with soil. Thanks for boosting my channel. The reach is now starting to pick up alot more!!

"Nipping Nipping is the treatment-involving cutting the seed coat to enable moisture to enter the inner parts of the seed. This treatment can be done with nail clippers, fine pliers, knives or a needle. A small scar at the end of the seed indicates the point to nip. One should be careful not to damage the radicle." www.kefri.org/assets/publications/tech/Tree%20Nursery%20Manual%20for%20Arid%20and%20Semi%20Arid%20Lands%20in%20Kenya.pdf
@@gabrieltrejo6719KENYA FOREST RESERCH INTITUTE reccommend for Acacia Mellifera: 2. "The soaking of seeds in water within a range of 60oC-90oC is often as effective as soaking at 100oC (boiling water) but there is less chance of damage at the lower temperatures. This method is normally applied for the seeds with hard coats"

acacia seeds have a low germination rate unless you scarify or boil them first.
Acacia mellifera is an awsome tree!
Thank you Max for the advice
