Seedball

Created by conservation scientists, Seedball is a multiple award-winning gardening product that offers a new twist on an ancient technique for increasing seed germination rates – helping to fill our gardens, balconies and window boxes with native wildflowers. A barrier of dried outer clay means that the seed is inaccessible to predators, and once sufficient water permeates the clay, the seed inside will begin to germinate – helped along by the nutrients within the ball. The chilli powder continues to deter slugs while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout. Seed balls are incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil or compost (no digging required!) and nature will do the rest. Seedball appeals to gift-givers, non-expert gardeners, and to people who are keen to support their back-garden wildlife.
