How to make seed bombs

How to Make Seed Bombs 

  1. Gather Materials: Collect clay, native seeds, compost (or potting mix), and water.

  2. Prepare Surface: Lay down a surface that you don’t mind getting dirty.

  3. Measure Ingredients: Divide materials into five parts clay, one part compost (or potting mix), and one part seeds.

  4. Mix Clay and Compost: Combine the clay and compost. If the clay is tough, warm it with your hands.

  5. Add Water: If needed, add a drop or two of water to make the mixture pliable, but keep it gritty and dough-like.

  6. Incorporate Seeds: Gradually add the seeds, kneading them into the mixture with your hands.

  7. Shape Bombs: Tear the mixture into pieces the size of a nectarine and roll them into balls.

  8. Dry or Plant: You can either plant the seed bombs while moist or let them dry.

  9. Watering: Once planted, ensure they are watered. The clay will break down, allowing the seeds to grow.

  10. Enjoy the Results: In a few weeks, you should see beautiful plants and flowers.

Note: Seed bombs are a fun way to beautify neglected areas and support the environment by using native plants.
