These 3 ingredient seed bombs are inexpensive and so easy to make. Simply toss them anywhere there is dirt... along the side of the road, in an open field etc. The next time it rains they will dissolve, and before you know it there will be a little more beauty in the world.

Knead well. Add few drops of water if its a harder clay.


Flatten again and add a scant 1/4 tsp. wildflower seeds.

    will this work for all types of seeds or just wildflower seeds?


  • Rory McBean Rory McBean on Oct 26, 2018

    Would food coloring have any impact on the seeds? It would be fun to have pink or red hearts, or other colorful pieces.

    Have you tested them to see how long it takes for the clay to dissolve?

    This is definitely ON my ToDo list. I have a jar full of seeds(??) that I inherited when my mom passed away. No idea What kind of flowers these will become, but that is the pleasure of doing the Seed Bombs. My mom was always collecting flower plants with beautiful blooms, I doubt I will be disappointed no matter What flowers I eventually get.
