AAR for project 1

Sustains: I feel that once I got the ball rolling things started to work out and fit well together. I feel that picking a topic/project that I was interested in helped me greatly in being able to mass produce those seed bombs and package them. I really enjoyed this project. I think overall the seed bomb packets were a success. They were relatively inexpensive to make, the only cost was the seeds, everything else I had or was able to obtain from someone else. Also I think the project was friendly, engaging and encouraging to people to become their own guerilla gardener. I also liked the recipe card/postcard idea, I felt that that was a very useful piece of paper and multipurpose.

Improves: I took me too long to get the ball rolling and I know I could have had a more successful project if I would have balance my time more efficiently. I wanted this project to have multiple steps but found myself only able to complete one step. In the future I need to determine my issue and develop a plan asap, thus allowing me to have more time to complete the project, jump any hurdles and see the plan in action. I also might have tried more paper bag designs and a possible website for more info. Also I need to use my blog more as a tool and way to communicate my ideas (including sketches and brainstorming).

What ifs:This project could have been more successful if I had put more time in to completing the other steps and I would have liked to see more seed bomb packets made and distributed. The best incarnation of this project was what I handed in it was informative, easy to transport, and easy to use.
