How to make seed bombs for guerilla gardening?
Mix 5 parts clay with 1 part compost and 1 part seeds. Add a couple of drops of water (be careful not to add too much or it will be a gooey mess). Roll and knead the mixture into a ball. After you have thoroughly mixed the dough, flatten it out and cut into pieces. Roll the smaller pieces into little balls. To make the seed balls, the ingredients are simple: clay, organic matter, water and a pinch of seeds. Mix equal parts compost or potting soil with clay (potters clay or cat litter clay with no added chemicals) with a little bit of water until you have a dough that sticks together but is not soggy.
What is the best time of year to plant seed bombs?
Timing: For optimal results, scatter your seed balls in the spring or autumn. These seasons typically provide the best conditions for germination with moderate temperatures and adequate rainfall. How do I use Seedballs? Throw onto soil or compost in a garden bed or planter in Spring or Autumn, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Your Seedball has everything it needs to grow and, once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right, your seeds will germinate!CARE: Though Seed Balls are packed with their own supply of nutrients derived from their clay base, that nutrient just can’t supply everything plants need through their entire lifecycle. Grow in a temperature range of 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit to start. Supply Seed Balls with regular, direct sunlight.Throw onto soil or compost in a garden bed or planter in Spring or Autumn, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Your Seedball has everything it needs to grow and, once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right, your seeds will germinate!With rain (or watering) and enough sun and warmth, the wildflower seeds inside the ball will start to germinate and little sprouts will begin to appear from the ball. This process can take 4-6 weeks from scattering.
