SEED BOMBS

I have been making seed bombs this week. Environmentalist will throw their arms up in the air at the though of strange seed being thrown into the wild so I am being responsible and only throwing them in the garden. If you are not familiar with the idea, the bombs consist of any seeds that I have bought or collected over the last few years. The ones that have gone past there best before date were first soaked in water for a night. These were then mixed with a clay soil and compost mix to make a ball that can withstand being thrown but will brake up on impact with the ground. The soil will help the seeds fall to the ground and hopefully germinate. Slugs and birds will eat most but some will survive and colonise an area.
