Instructions provided on the base. They’re incredibly easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil/compost (no digging or expertise required) and nature will do the rest. Best scattered in the Autumn or Spring. The seed ball concept is based on an ancient technique for increasing seed germination rates - helping to fill our gardens, balconies and window boxes with native wildflowers, bees and butterflies. Seedball make the seed balls in their HQ in North London, from a mixture of UK native wildflower seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder. Wildflowers are naturally slow to germinate, and as such, loosely scattered seed can often be eaten by ants, birds and mice. Seedball helps to solve this problem by encasing the seed in a protective ball of clay, compost and chilli. 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 and minerals contained within the ball. The chilli powder continues to deter slugs and snails while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout. Each tin measures approx 3.4cm (diameter) x 1.6cm (depth) The wildflower seeds include a mix from Common Toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow Cranesbill, Musk Mallow, Oxeye Daisy and Red campion, plus a sprinkling of pollinator-friendly annuals Chamomile, Cornflower, Corn Marigold, and Night-Flowering Catchfly.
