Bee bombs - Native Wildflower #BringtheBeesBack - World Bee Day '20th May' Each pack of Beebombs contains hundreds of seeds and 18 species of wildflowers. The seeds are mixed with clay powder and locally sourced, unfortified soil. The clay supports and protects the seeds whilst they germinate and spreads them as it breaks down under watering. Seedballs are an ancient method of farming that is less destructive to the wildlife buried in your garden, less labour intensive and increases germination rates. Used throughout the world for hundreds of years, we are now using this ingenious method to help #bringthebeesback Beebombs need no gardening skill and can be scattered straight onto open ground at any time of the year. Once scattered, Beebombs just need lots of water, sun and time. Wildflowers are hardy and adaptable but slow growers. This means that they can be out-competed by faster growing grasses and perennial weeds at the critical early stages, so straight onto soil is best if possible. The soil will help your Beebombs germinate and the clay will protect them as they dissipate. Lots of sun and rain is of course important, as is time. One Bee Bomb can contain up to 18 species of wildflower such as; Yarrow, Common Knapweed, Wild Carrot, Lady's Bedstraw, Rough Hawkbit, Oxeye Daisy, Ribwort Plantain, Cowslip, Self Heal, Corn Marigold, Yellow Rattle, Common Sorrel, Salad Burnet, White Campion, Red Campion, Common Poppy, Cornflower and Corn Chamomile. Beebombs use only sustainable packaging. No 'one use plastics' used. 1 pack provides coverage for roughly 21 sq ft / 2m².
