After the seedlings have grown, a sufficient amount of nutrients is available as compost mixed with the soil for the initial growth of the plant. The rainy season lasts 2-3 months, enough for strong seedlings, when the dry season comes, the resistance of seedlings is also stronger. Mix clay, manure, water, humus as seed cover Thanks to the compactness of each “seed bomb”, even the dry season can be carried to an area suitable for the growing conditions of each cultivar contained in the bomb. According to Mr. Tuan, using “seed bombs” helps to overcome difficulties in climate conditions as well as save manpower and costs for afforestation. “Seed bombs” can take advantage of endemic trees regenerated by seeds, with high drought tolerance to develop natural forest areas.
