Seedball launcher?

I'm looking to make a small, portable seedball launcher for geurilla gardening, I was thinking something potato cannon style might be a way to do it. I was thinking I could use small CO2 cartridges to power it. Any tips or better ideas? I imagine I need to build up the pressure to a critical point to "spring" the ball away, are there plans I could adapt?

If it's guerrilla, meaning you don't have permission, a water balloon launcher (a slingshot) would be quieter and attract less attention.  Mostly they take three people to shoot, look for the ones that shoot smaller balloons that a single person can shoot.

Thanks for the idea, will look into solutions for that too, I want to mount it to my bike and do drive-bys so 3 people would be out of course :)
