Seed Bombs
What’s a seed bomb?
A Seed Bomb is a mixture of soil that sometimes includes clay, other ingredients, and seeds. We show you our favorite way to make them with seeds and dirt. In other countries, they may be called Seed Balls.
Why make this garden DIY?
They are a great way to get flowers, vegetables, and herbs growing in areas that don’t have plants. Help spread joy and plant life.
Gift your homemade seed bombs to mom for Mother’s Day, dad for Father’s Day, grandparents for Grandparent’s Day, teachers for Teacher appreciation gifts, or a gardener for their birthday. You get the picture: so many people would love to toss them in the yard or garden and then see the seeds bloom.
Let’s get started on this project
First, gather your supplies. Then make your dirt mixture following the how-to directions below.
After combining the soil mixture, carefully stir in the seeds.
Step 2
Add water, stir (add more water if needed), and begin to form balls. Form balls by shaping the damp dirt mixture with your hands.
Step 3-4
Place your molded seed bombs onto a lined tray. When done, set them in the sun to dry. Dry for about 24-48 hours. When they are fully dry, they are ready to use or wrap up as a gardening gift.
Steps 5-7
Making the gardening gift
When the seed bombs have dried, place them in a clear plastic treat bag and secure the top with a piece of twine.
Print the printable gift tagon card stock and cut out.
Punch a hole in the top of the card and tie the card onto the gift bag.
Tada! You’re done. Be sure to pin it for later if you aren’t making this project now. Or print it and make it now!
And this free printable seed packet template comes in two designs. We hope you liked these gardening gifts and ideas.
How-To Plant Seed Bombs?
When dry, you toss them into the yard or garden. They do not need to be put in a hole in the ground. When the seeds in the dirtballs get wet, they get sunshine, and the seeds germinate. You can find out more in this post explaining how seed bombs work.
