Charcoal-dust coated indigenous tree and grass seedballs for low-cost dryland reseeding
About
Seedballs Kenya is a Nairobi-based collaboration between two Kenyan companies, Chardust Ltd (manufacturing) and Cookswell Jikos Ltd (sales and distribution). It coats indigenous tree and grass seeds in salvaged charcoal dust and a binder so they can be broadcast by hand, vehicle or aircraft without nursery raising. Seedballs have been distributed since September 2016 across Kenya and East Africa, including a 14 million seedball campaign with Bolt. The organization reports seedballs distributed rather than trees established.
