DIY Seed Bombs for Wildflowers (Easy Summer Fun!)
Want to add a pop of color to your yard or neighborhood? Seed bombs are a fun and easy way to spread wildflowers, creating a haven for pollinators and adding beauty to your surroundings.
Here's what you'll need:
- Wildflower seeds (native to your region)
- Compost or potting soil
- Clay (optional, can be substituted with flour)
- Water
Ready to get planting?
- Mix your seeds and soil. Combine wildflower seeds with a good amount of compost or potting soil in a bowl. Ensure there are enough seeds for good distribution.
- Add a binding agent. This is where the clay or flour comes in. Mix a small amount of wet clay or flour with the seed and soil mixture until it becomes slightly sticky and moldable.
- Form your seed bombs. Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a marble.
- Let them dry. Place the seed bombs on a baking sheet or drying rack and let them dry completely for a day or two.
Planting your seed bombs:
Once your seed bombs are dry, simply toss them onto bare patches of soil in your yard, a local park, or even an empty field (with permission, of course!). Rainwater will activate the seeds, and with a little sunshine, you'll soon see beautiful wildflowers blooming!
