Description

Make your own seed bomb (literally).

The benefits of a seed bomb are many. Most importantly, it is easier than carrying around a handful of seeds with you everywhere! But, the seed bomb also contains nutrients from the compost and the clay protects the seeds from birds munching on them.

You'll need:

  • Red clay (or red clay powder and water)
  • Compost
  • Seeds (make sure you check that you aren't using invasive plant species to your region)
  • 3D mold (or just roll them into balls, but you wouldn't be here if you didn't want to 3D print this awesome mold!)
  • Vegetable oil for mold release

Steps:

1) Knead 1 part seed and 1 part compost into 3 parts of clay

2) Add mold release veg oil

3) Squeeze clay into mold and press out excess (save this for the next bomb)

4) De-mold and let the seed bomb dry in the sun

5) Throw that seed bomb where ever you want more flowers

 I'll also do a fusion 360 modeling video if you are into it!
