"Dear friend,
Please read " One Straw Revolution" book written by Masnobu Fukuoka Of
Japan. I am some lines

The clover and barley or rye sprout and grow an inch or two by the time
the rice is ready to be harvested. During the rice harvest, the sprouted seeds
are trampled by the feet of the harvesters, but recover in no time at all. When
the threshing is completed, the rice straw is spread over the field.
If rice is sown in the autumn and left uncovered, the seeds are often
eaten by mice and birds, or they sometimes rot on the ground, and so I enclose
the rice seeds in little clay pellets before sowing. The seed is spread out on a
flat pan or basket is shaken back and forth in a circular motion. Fine
powdered clay is dusted over them and a thin mist of water is added from time
to time. This forms a tiny pellet about a half-inch in diameter.
There is another method for making the pellets. First, the unhulled rice
seed is soaked for several hours in water. The seeds are removed and mixed
with moist clay by kneading with hands or feet. Then the clay is pushed
through a screen of chicken wire to separate it into small clods. The clods
should be left to dry for a day or two or until they can be easily
rolled between
the palms into pellets. Ideally, there is one seed in each pellet. In
one day it is
possible to make enough pellets to seed several acres.

My farm is in M.P. Hoshangabad.
Thank
Raju Titus

I'm still unable to comprehend. Do tell me where are you located. I have my farm in Badlapur, Thane. I'm plagued by the problem of my seeds and seedling being eaten away by rats. I think your idea makes sense and will follow it.
