That's a great idea to plant milkweed for the monarchs in safe areas.

I agree
Girls, you are awesome! Much love from Berlin, which I am going to greenify now! Thank you so much!
Excellent, know a few golf courses that need a visit! Stop golf!
That would be Masanobu Fukuoka you're referring to? He didn't exactly invent them but did popularize an ancient method.
Golf clubs love it for the added challenge i heard
Love this and will be launching some seed bombs soon!
Great work
Very good madam I am watching from South Korea now a days when I will go back to Nepal I will use this idea
Very informative!

Thanks for tuning in! We appreciate you!
I love this! Can I use bentonite clay and do this on my front hilltop lawn? Can I place them where I want them to grow? Really great video would love to get kids involved.
Excellent thank you
love it
What time of year do you put down your seed bombs? Or does it depend on the season?
Red haired woman: "and then we get to launch these. That's the fun part, for kids." Grey haired woman: "Right."
If my class is making these in the winter, do they need to be stored in the Fridge till spring?
Did I miss when you actually add the seeds? Do you mix them in with the litter and soil before the water?
Not everyone lives in Oklahoma, why make 12 when you can make 100 and fire them off in different directions? it's a nice surprise and a mystery for your neighbors "never tell them!" 🤫 They also forgot chilli powder to divert the slugs! And wear gloves.
A great project for these covid times.
Does the seed germinate inside the wet seed bomb before it dries?
Hello!! Just watched this!! I was thinking of making seed bombs to sell at a rent a space type store. Could I use your "recipe"? Also could I have exact measurements, please? Thank You and God Bless 😀
can you do this with tree seeds?
didn't see you putting any seeds in !!!!!!
How do these work in practice; ie the normal way is to thin out seedlings. Seed bombs appear to have a lot of seeds (some bombs ave mixed seed) this would usually mean thinning out.

Some people only put like a few seeds in each
great suggestions!
what kind or brand of cat litter thanks loved it. I have 9 1/2 acres on a ridge with wide open spots I just hand broadcast 32 ounces of wildflower seeds, but I think I will do it again with this method I just love flowers

Hey Karen, thanks for tuning in! To answer your question, bentonite-based litter is best for seed bombs. It is also known as clumping litter, you'll want to avoid non-clumping litter. You can use any brand of clumping litter.

Sally Lewis I was Wondering the Same Thing. How Many Seeds per Bomb?
Could you just use baking powder? Also how do they end up securing to the ground?

Plants sense gravity, roots will grow down into the soul if it is not too well packed.
Do you plant them in the garden by laying them in rows?

You can, or you can just put them out randomly. The idea behind the "bomb" is that it can just be thrown out wherever you want to plant some wildflowers.
You referenced plants.usda.gov for your seed source, but I’m not seeing seeds for sale there. Can you be more specific?

they mean to find out what seeds are native to where you live, not where to buy them
or use papier-mache from waste paper...
