    Seed bombs? Great minds think alike! I like to load up my belt-fed 50 caliber jeep-mounted machine gun with hollow point bullets and pack the hollow end of the bullets with various seeds (apple seeds = favorite). Then I have my driver race at high speeds through urban neighborhoods while I go on a crazed planting spree, screaming, "I'm Johnny Appleseed!" When I run out of ammo, I start chucking seed grenades, which are like regular grenades only with seeds glued all over the outside. Then I park outside of town and start laying down seed mortar fire. I'm fighting for a greener planet.

    I sure do hope you are joking, because the blast will obviously destroy the seeds. Use rockets, much better.

    I can't say for everywhere but where I live the ink isn't anywhere near as bad as they used to be. That said they're still not food grade. It's impossible to really verify if something is 'safe', so if it's an issue then I'd suggest just using clay and soil. This isn't for OP of a seven year old comment but future readers.

    Your mixture was too wet. Seeds germinate because of moisture and light. You probably didn't squeeze out enough water and they didn't dry quickly enough.

    I heard that paper seed bombs don't work because they germinate when they are placed into the wet pulp. Is this true? Did your seed bombs work?

  • @UntidyArtist

    @UntidyArtist

    9 жыл бұрын

    So long as the seed bombs dry completely after you make them they won't begin to germinate. Make sure that the seeds are not sitting in the wet pulp mixture for a long period of time, form them into balls immediately after adding the seeds to the pulp. Then put them in a ventilated area to dry. I threw my seed bombs into the field behind my house and they worked beautifully. A couple of things to keep in mind, make sure you are using good quality seeds (this is important!), make sure they are planted in an area that gets an ample amount of sun, make sure they get water. Thank you for watching!

    Francisca Morel Seed bombs are considered a technique of introducing flowers or plants to land by throwing or dropping them into soil so that they can grow. The seed bomb is made with recycled paper to protect the seeds and keep them moist while they begin to grow. Simply throw your seed bomb on some dirt and then wait. Make sure that your seeds get sunlight and water. Thank you for watching. Hope this helps!

    Also seeds contain a lot of nutrients anyway to jump start the growth! they'd sprout in the paper once water's introduced but would only grow to a certain size before soil is needed :) I realise this is an old comment, just commenting for the people scrolling past!
