Seed Bombs
Professor O will help you learn: Wildflower seeds wrapped in soil can be planted with a throw — and help bees and butterflies.
⚠️ This is messy, so wear old clothes and wash hands well afterwards. Only scatter seed bombs on your own garden or with the landowner's permission, and use native wildflower seeds.
Steps
- Put the compost and powdered clay (or soaked paper pulp) into a bowl.
- Mix them together well with your hands or a spoon.
