Now we can hear the sound of bees we know that spring is definitely here. Our wild flower bed is full of beautiful spring tulips and daffodils but to make sure the bees and butterflies have all that they need through to Autumn, it is time for ‘seed bombs away’.
Last Autumn we collected wild flower seeds from our wild flower patch and stored them in a dry place. We used these along with other seeds that bees and butterflies particularly like. Here is our seed bomb recipe:
1 cup of wild flower seeds
2-3 cups powdered clay or clay spoil
5 cups of Compost
We could tell if the soil had lots of clay by rolling it into a ball. If it stayed in a ball shape it has lots of clay but if it crumbles it does not. The clay will bind all the ingredients together. We delved right in and mixed all the ingredients together to make balls.
Now for the fun part… the throwing. Seed bombs away!
