Seed Bombs

A fantastic DIY project for guerrilla gardening! Making seed bombs is not only a fun activity but also a great way to contribute to the environment by adding more greenery to neglected areas. Plus, it’s exciting to see what plants will emerge from the seeds you’ve dispersed. A great way to spend quality time with Mom or Dad!
Trivia:
Young queen bumblebees survive the winter by hibernating underground or in rotting woodpiles until spring, when they emerge to start a new colony of their own. To help bees survive, avoid spraying pesticides when plants are flowering and bees are foraging for nectar. Source: Smithsonian Gardens – Where Do Insects Live?
Supplies
- Meadow flower seeds or seeds collected from the garden.
- Peat-free compost.
- Water.
- Powdered clay (found in craft shops).
- Mixing bowl.
- Egg cartons (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of seeds with 5 cups of compost and 2-3 cups of clay powder (you could use clay soil instead if you have it).
- Slowly mix in water with your hands until everything sticks together. Roll the mixture into firm balls. Leave the balls to dry in a sunny spot. Now for the fun bit!
- Plant your seed bombs by throwing them at bare parts of the garden or meadow
Editor’s Note: It you prefer to have a more planned planting area, plant the bombs including the egg carton (biodegradable) and watch for them to sprout and bloom.
