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.
It's a worthwhile read:
' One Straw Revolution,' Masanobu Fukuoka.( lots of context )
