Don't let the seeds go to waste

We've been doing this for the last two years now. Every time we eat some fruits we preserve the seeds instead of putting them in the waste basket. We wash and dry the seeds and store them in a dry container. Around the time that the rainy season begins, we go out to the open fields and hills and disperse them as widely as we can.

Not all the seeds we disperse would grow onto becoming fruit bearing trees. And we may not be around to enjoy the fruits. Regardless, we think the idea is a good one. Because it enriches the ecosystem, providing for diversity of the biomass in the short term and for the food cycle over the longer term.

This year Pankaj came up with another good idea to add to this enterprise, to collect pods fallen off the trees alongside the roads which would otherwise be destroyed and dispersing them in open spaces.

We expanded the idea further recently to include seed of fruits, vegetables and different kinds of grass.
