Beautify Forgotten Landscapes
Homemade Wildflower Seed Bombs
Get in on the "Guerilla Gardening" movement and make these wildflower seed bombs. We'll show you how...
What forgotten corner of the world will be brightened by your wildflower bombs?
What you'll need:
- Clay (pottery or modeling clay is fine) - Potting Soil - Wildflower seeds (must be native to your area)
Step #1. Pinch off a wad of clay
Slightly larger than a golf ball is about right.
Step #2. Smash the clay to 1/4 inch thick.
Now spread about two tbs of potting soil and ½ tsp of seeds onto your clay pizza.
Step #3. Sprinkle on a few drops of water
Roll up the mess and work it together, incorporating the soil and seeds into the clay.
Step #4. Keep adding more soil
Work it into the clay until it feels dry and loses that sticky feel.
Step #5. Pinch off golf ball sized pieces
Roll into spheres in the potting soil to incorporate more soil.
Step #6. Allow to dry
Leave your seed bombs for 24 hours to dry.
Step #7. Bombs away!
