• Each seed ball acts as its own mini ecosystem, protecting seeds from birds, ants, and slugs while providing essential nutrition for a strong start.
• No gardening experience needed. Simply place them on top of soil, water, and watch them grow.
• Every seed ball contains up to 100 seeds.
• Made from a natural blend of seed, clay, peat-free compost, and chilli powder:
– Clay protects seeds from predators like ants, mice, and birds.
– Peat-free compost gives seeds an early nutrient boost.
– Chilli powder adds extra protection against pests.
• The seed balls provide everything a seed needs for early growth which is especially useful for wildflowers, whose seeds can take longer to germinate than other garden plants.
Timing:
• Scatter seed balls in spring or autumn for the best germination conditions.
• If planting at other times, freeze them for a few days first to help loosen the seed casing.
Location:
• Place on top of the soil. Don’t bury them, as seeds need sunlight to sprout.
• Choose a sunny spot as shaded or grassy areas may reduce growth.
Watering:
• Rainfall is often enough, but water regularly in dry weather to keep the clay moist.
• In hot summer months, ensure the balls stay moist to protect young shoots from drying out.
