Smoking to increase germination

Volunteers at the Yass Landcare Community Nursery recently exposed some of our Climate Ready seed to smoke to assist germination.

The process was quite simple and resulted in smoked seed, smoked vermiculite and perlite and smoked water. All of these products will be used in the sowing process which commences in October.
