Mr. Fukuoka said: "Natural farming is the way of nature, and there is no subjective labor-saving method: no tillage, no fertilization, no pesticides and no weeding are the four laws of natural farming." He further explained: "Natural farming has many advantages, such as energy saving, cost saving, high yield, no pollution, and the longer the land is, the fatter it is, which is unmatched by scientific agricultural methods." . Sowing "mud balls" is a planting method created by Mr. Fukuoka in practice, which allows crops to grow naturally without adding human factors. "Mud ball" is made of seeds of various crops and 7 times of clay. Sow on the ground according to different regional characteristics, and after a few years, these areas will turn green, or green trees will become forests, or fertile fields will be ten thousand mu.
What's the difference between "clay balls" and ordinary seeds? Mr Fukuoka asked his assistant to draw a schematic diagram for me, and introduced that the seeds are in the shallow layer of the surface, and the roots of the "mud ball" can go deep into the ground for about 2 meters to find water. The biggest difference between the two is that "mud balls" containing certain nutrients will not be eaten by birds and mice like seeds.
Mr Fukuoka has visited many countries and instructed local people to make and spread "clay balls". The assistant showed us some examples of some countries implementing greening in some areas. The reporter saw in the picture that Mr Fukuoka's hometown around Shikoku, Japan, was a wasteland 40 years ago, and the "mud ball" made this area change magically. The former barren land is now all green hills, and the ecological environment has been greatly improved. The video also introduced that thousands of students and volunteers from Greece went to the barren hills to scatter "mud balls", and the scene was spectacular. It is said that this quick and simple planting method has been extended to India, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines and some countries in Africa, Europe and America. The fact that greening is completed without fertilization and farming is gradually accepted by people.
