In a natural ecosystem, thousands of plant seeds are naturally shed from local plants, then are either blown in on the winds or deposited by birds and animals.
In a natural ecosystem, thousands of plant seeds are naturally shed from local plants, then are either blown in on the winds or deposited by birds and animals. These various methods comprise a recycled seed bank for nature as a storehouse in the soil from which new plants emerge. This naturally occurs to assist the growing and replacing the older plants as the mother plant dies off. More than 95% of these seeds end up as either food for insects, birds and animals in the natural ecosystem. Or, these seeds fail to find the right conditions for germination and die off but this provides nutrients for the soil.
