Reforesting with balls of charcoal embedded with seeds

Just getting financial advice from reddit.com/r/funny again and someone shared an infotainmental gif of an invention call "Seedballs," a boring and inedible version of fruit that you throw at the ground and sprouts when it rains. They say they cost 2¢

Someone commented that somebody named Fukuoka invented this and the Wikipedia page mentions him, but the page seems to be in Japanese for some reason, and I have not gotten around to learning that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_ball

This is something similar, but colorful balls of wildflower seeds. https://growtherainbow.com/

The reddit post stated they were rolled in charcoal, but I keep reading about them being in red clay. There were many reddit comments about killing trees to make the charcoal.
