Great Idea we need here

Then low and behold what I found in my RSS reader today, from INHABITAT:
Guerrilla gardeners in San Francisco have some new ammunition with the recent installation of the city’s first seedbomb vending machine! Designed by L.A.’s Common Studio, the re-purposed gum-ball machine is set up in front of Bi-Rite Market in the Mission District, where it vends “bombs†containing seeds and compost encased in clay. All they need is a little bit of water and they will sprout – toss one into an abandoned lot or even a pothole, and voila: green space.
This is a pretty genius idea. If there were a mix that could survive unassisted in our city, I’d scoop that up right away.
