Instructions

1. Break up the soil with your hands and remove coarse pieces.
2. Add clay and seeds and mix well.
3. Add just enough water to produce a thick paste that is easy to shape.
4. Then form walnut-sized balls.
5. If desired, sprinkle dried blossoms onto the balls.
6. Let the Seedbombs dry in the sun on newspaper or in an egg carton for approx. 1 – 2 days.

The Seedbombs now last at least 2 years. They should be stored cool and dry.
When throwing them, make sure to choose a day that is as cloudy as possible, with a chance of rain. Ideally, the seeds should be spread between April and June to ensure flowering still occurs in summer.

Do not throw the Seedbombs onto private property under any circumstances.
Seedbombs also make a wonderful gift! They can easily be planted in a pot or balcony box as well. Many bees and bumblebees will also appreciate the flowers.
