Red Clay Powder for Seed Balls and Seed Bombs (1000g)

Product Information

Seed balls become seed bombs when adopted by the urban guerrilla and chucked into places that will brighten and blossom from an area of dereliction to a wildlife haven. Make the seed bombs according to the instructions below and simply chuck them where you want them to grow. Guerilla gardeners also use seed bombs as a mode of ecological land management, dropping seed bombs in neglected fields and medians to provide food for wildlife.

Lay a sheet of wax paper on a flat surface in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.

I’ve made my balls two different ways with the air dry clay, one using a miracle grow scatter mix and compost and the other using a packet of seeds and compost.

The number of balls made very much depends on the size of balls rolled, we’ve based 500 on the size of our seed balls (1cm diameter). The latent upland weed seeds can then grow when you remove them from the wet conditions and seed bomb upland with them.The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife. IMPORTANT: Using local clay is frequently advised by other sources, however in doing so, you are likely to transport weeds with your seed balling endeavors. They originated in Japan in the 1940s, and were used extensively by “guerrilla gardeners” in the 1970s. If you’re having trouble finding vendors, you can use the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation’s Native Plant, Seed and Services Directory. Once you have formed a ball with most of the seed and soil encases in clay – roll the damp seed bomb in a container of potting soil to coat the surface.
