Turns out it’s also called “Seed Bombing”

Heavy Petal has exceptionally great material, hands-on DIY info about “Seedbombing” and other subversive gardening applications:

Also, remember Paul Laffoley:

Subject: A House Created by Grafting together Various Forms of Vegetation

Symbol Evocation: The Primordial Plant-Form of the poet Goethe

Comments: The secret to grafting and growing Das Urpflanze Haus to a mature and seeded state is the Ginko Bilboa or Maidenhair Tree. Native to China it tolerates all climates and soils. It was saved from extinction in the 19th century by certain Chinese Monasteries. The tree dates from the Mesozoic Era (144 million years ago) making it the oldest flowering plant alive at the time of the dinosaurs. Shoots of the tree can connect deciduous to conifer trees, fruits to vegetables, grasses to vines. The Ginko Bilboa tree is not subject to the divine proportion (.382…/.618…), the proportion of death.

Hm.

Native Planting would make more sense, to me, as the plants of the area which are native should make the most sense of the type of area they would best survive in.

Using bacterias that eat/digest things like asphalt probably isn’t a very good idea.  It certainly sounds awesome, but it has a strong chance of effecting all elements of or pertaining to asphalt.. which would likely destroy other vital minerals that other organisms (besides humans) need to survive.  It would be like if Monsanto Corporation suddenly decided to go mass-cross-pollinate species they want for their own monopoly of mass-sterile-seed productions. (which, it was suggested/shown has happened in farming communities already, but I no longer have a link to that stuff)

I support (and may participate soon enough in my own version of) this type of activity, but I do not support non-native introductions and possible GMO plant contaminations that it sounds like may be taking place in NY.
My thoughts on a plan:
Natives before Exotics, Useful before Ornamental.
Plants that support each other (same ecosystem) are important as well.

Interesting article. Reminds me of 1999.
Peace and thank you.

The meme continues to grow in a decentralized fashion:

second link is 404

Maybe this is the meme that converts us all to a greater being?
hmm.

Cool, thank you very much!
