Reforesting with balls of charcoal embedded with seeds

There are numerous instructions on-line about how to make these, but everybody obsesses about wildflowers. I kind of wonder if trees better contribute to the oxygen that all of us allegedly breathe--including bees and milk moths or whatever else that I saw.

Strangely, the first thing that I saw said charcoal, but everyone else says red clay. I just visualized getting some sphere mold, putting charcoal powder in each half, some seeds and fertilizer in the middle, pressing it, and having a seed ball, but I could not find anything that I wanted. The only ball mold that I found was silicone.

That did not seem useful to me.

Whatever. I have earned $165 in three months. Someone else can save the world or, you know, nobody.

The wildflowers have to do with dwindling pollinator populations, without which we have no fruit.

The trees grew to close together and compete too much for water and nutrients as a result. This, as well as the growing drought that the local paper is saying has become the worst since 800 BC has lead to a masive pine beetle infestation that has killed entire forests. According to the local paper, the "worse case scenario" of draught just keeps getting worse. If the trees were healthier they would be more "immune" to the pine beetles, but in their current dehydrated, weakened state they are easy game for them. And as a result of so many dead and dry forests we now have more and more forest fires every year.

The pine beetle infestation has to do with global warming.
The forests used to be colder, and they used to be colder for longer.
They don't get cold enough and for long enough, so the millions of larvae laid by Mom survive now, to eat the cambium out of the pines.
The keyboard player for the Rolling Stones did a show where they were harvesting the pine-kill, to widen fire breaks, and turning the deadwood into pellets for pellet stoves, which is technically a net-carbon technology.

Might be the bark beetle. I think they're the one that's handing Glacier National Park it's ---.

It's the cold, which we have an ever-decreasing supply of.

The Red-Headed Woodpecker is declining because the capitalist peckerwoods are cutting it's habitat down.

No, the detection system requires huge resources to run which is why I suggested woodpeckers. Pre trained self sufficient and getting them off an endangered list is a win win

I'm not saying don't save the Woodpeckers.

This New AI Technology is Phenomenal

Thar's 8 teraflops per watt.

If one drone can inject 20 bore holes per minute, how long to do one tree?

No one is 'right' about them.
How many double-bind, randomized, placebo-controlled, large cohort liquid-nitrogen/tree clinical trials have you heard about?
Have you seen cryogenics on the biosphere's evolutionary timeline?
Liquid nitrogen won't help plants if you've taken everything else they need away.
The root cause of the problem remains.
Does your physician administer cryogenics to your genitals when crab-lice shows up?

You're right about what plants crave. Consider the liquid part.

It's hard for me to keep up with your bang-bang posting frequency. I've found my Achilles' Heel. My left foot is currently is a 5-gallon bucket of cold water.
