## Abstract

A vegetation growth bag comprising a casing, where the casing is made from a biodegradable material; a mixture of organic matter within the casing; where the mixture of organic matter includes a plurality of plant seeds, where as the plant seeds grow they erupt through the casing; and a pair of closures at each end of the casing; where the pair of closures prevent the mixture of organic matter from spilling from the casing. During use the vegetation growth bags are arranged along a barren land area, and left to allow rain and sunlight to promote growth of the seeds within the casing. Eventually the vegetation growth bags incorporate themselves into the barren land area by allowing the roots to anchor the casing to the ground.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vegetation growth bag comprising:
a. a casing, where the casing is made from a biodegradable material;
b. a mixture of organic matter within the casing; where the mixture of organic matter includes a plurality of plant seeds, where as the plant seeds grow they erupt through the casing; and
c. a pair of closures at each end of the casing; where the pair of closures prevent the mixture of organic matter from spilling from the casing.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vegetation growth bag according to claim 1, where the casing is made from a thick weave fabric.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vegetation growth bag according to claim 2, where the biodegradable material is one of at least burlap and hessian.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vegetation growth bag according to claim 1, where the mixture of organic matter further includes sand, soil, and fertilizer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The vegetation growth bag according to claim 1, where the plurality of seeds are selected to adapt to a specific location where the vegetation growth bag is placed.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The vegetation growth bag according to claim 1, where the casing is placed within a hole where the vegetation growth bag incorporates itself into the hole by sprouting the plurality plant seeds and integrating a plurality of roots from the plant seeds into the ground within the hole.

### Claim 7

A method of use for a vegetation growth bag comprising the steps of:
a. arranging a plurality of vegetation growth bags along a barren land area, where the vegetation growth bags are made from an biodegradable casing filled with a mixture of organic matter including plant seeds, dirt and fertilizer; and
b. leaving the plurality of vegetation growth bags to rest while rain and sunlight cast upon the vegetation growth bag to enable the plant seeds to grow, and incorporate the resulting plant leaves and roots from the plant seeds into the barren land area.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of use for the vegetation growth bag according to claim 7 further comprising the step of selecting a specific type of seed to adapt with a natural flora and fauna of the barren land area.
