In my meanderings on the internet I recently came across a video on how to make seed bombs at home that doesn't require clay or compost or anything that I didn't already have. Looks like fun!
Today I ran to the store and picked up some flower seeds. Honestly, I'm more interested in growing things I can eat, but I wanted to try this out. I used the technique in the video, and despite a few issues, I think I've successfully made my very first set (of six) seed bombs. I'll have to see if they're completely dried out by tomorrow, but I'm very excited. I plan to make more tonight and tomorrow, and test a few out indoors just to see if they actually work. If they do, I will be offering them for sale (for less than the 9 for $20 I was finding) in my Bonanza Shop.
This makes me want to try other things. You can supposedly seed bomb just about anything that grows from seed, so long as it requires minimal care. The point is that wherever you toss the seed bomb, nature will do the rest - through rain and sunshine. An opportunity to experiment.... fun!! And best of all - it gets the kids involved and excited. Thinking of places they can toss their newly created seed bombs, what they could put in a seed bomb, and even how soon we can make enough for them to give away to friends. I think I'm going to need to buy more seeds...
