Seed Bombs Away!!!

Made from a mixture of clay, compost, and seeds, seedbombs are a great way to combat the many forgotten grey spaces you encounter everyday: from sidewalk cracks, to vacant lots and parking medians. They can be thrown anonymously into these abandoned urban sites to reclaim and transform them into places worth looking at and caring for. They can also be tossed into your home garden. I love the ones used with flexible heart molds!

Here’s the recipe:

5 parts dry red clay*
3 parts dry organic compost
1 part native seed
1 – 2 parts water
*For the clay it is recommended that you use dry potter’s clay. You should be able to obtain this at any farm or gardening store. It comes as a powder, which makes it easier to mix.
-After mixing together all of the dry ingredients, slowly add water to the mixture. You want to add enough water that the mixture sticks together, but you do not want the mixture to be too dry and crumbly or too wet that you cannot role it into balls.
-When you get your mixture together it is time to start rolling it in to quarter sized balls.
-Mixture rolled into balls ready to be thrown
-Once you get the mixture rolled up, the next step is to let them dry out. Generally, the drying process should take somewhere around 48-72 hours. Thats it. You’re now ready to distribute your seed bombs.
