Weapons of Mass Beautification

There was a great LA Times article, by Joe Robinson about the Guerrilla Gardening movement in Los Angeles and abroad. At guerrillagardening.org, you can join an existing cell and post pictures of your missions.



DIY:
The first time I saw guerrilla gardening in action, my friend's father was struggling to solve the problem of a fenced-off empty lot next to their apartment building. "A scar on the face of Paris," he called it. It spoiled the view from their dining room, for sure. This is how he did it:

A dozen eggs
+ seeds and small amount of soil
+ tissue paper
+ water based glue
1. Knock a smallish hole at the pointy end of the eggs and drain into a bowl.
2. Carefully wash the eggshells.
3. Pack the eggshells with a few seeds and some soil.
4. Seal with tissue paper and glue.
5. Wait for evening. Open a window and launch your gardening bombs into the offending, barren patch of land.
Then make omelettes with leftover egg contents.
