These would have to be very low power in order to avoid that, yeah. Thankfully, shotguns are incredibly forgiving of that sort of thing if you use a pump action one.

Alternatively, you could fire them at an upward angle, letting the seeds scatter widely and fall to the ground in a parabolic arc. Horticultural artillery, as it were.

Alternatively alternatively, you could somehow propel them with those things attached to your body just below the wrist in almost any direction

Yeah, the shotgun shells were a bad approach, we should have been using grenades!

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They make airsoft grenades that yeet pellets in every direction. Much less force than a shotgun shell as well. We solved it!

The initial explosion sending them off is worse than the collision (especially with soil)

Still doesn't really work. Lots of tree planting involves shoving a sapling in the ground and walking away with no followup. That results in a bunch of dead saplings. Shotgun seeds would probably do the same.

I mean... Because you just uprooted a sapling, and put the damaged baby tree in the ground, away from parents and with an unfamiliar mycelial network, and hoped it would survive with zero manual intervention

There's a whole ecosystem underground with so much going on we've barely begun to understand

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 week ago

if you see a baby sapling, don't pick it up and transplant it somewhere else. its momma tree is probably around somewhere and waits for you to walk away

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Transplanting and sowing are entirely different things.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I'd think these would be airsoft or something similar
