Seed bombs (also known as seed balls or by other names) are an ancient farming technique practiced in many societies worldwide. They are made with a ratio of 1:1 clay to compost (or other organic matter) and are great for no-tillage farming.
Currently, in Japan, Msanobu Fukuoka took this ancient technique (known as Tsuchi Dango or Earth Dumplings) and incorporated it into modern farming.
