Maybe a tangential observation on my part, but this has been my preferred method of planting for at least a season or two. I can’t do it with grains, squash, and some other seeds of high interest to local wildlife. As you know one neat option if you grow in clay is when it cracks during dry periods, these highly sought after seeds can often go in the cracks. Seems to me one tradeoff is they’re going both further down and into a kind of micro-swale while the earth stays cracked, so if you’re in wetter conditions trying to get arid climate plants to produce a first generation,you might be working against yourself.
I heard broadcasting technique come up recently in a thread and am really curious about how I might broadcast more effectively with the seeds I can plant this way. I might start a broadcasting thread soon if there seems to be strong community interest or I naturally get around to it.
