Hi Sri Maha Kushi – The reason most recipes call for dry clay is because it’s easier to combine with the (dry) seeds and soil. If it’s pre-mixed (wet) clay, it’s harder to combine, but is still possible. I’ve used wet clay to make “pockets” to hold the seeds and soil… kind of like making a stuffed pasta! Roll a small amount of the clay flat, then put a pince of seeds and soil on top. Fold the clay over the seeds and shape into a ball. Hope this helps…

I wonder: what would happen if i use wet clay? Everywhere they say it must be dry clay, but no-one specifies WHY? Any idea? I got a lot of clay sort of “left over” and i thought i give it a try… only the mixing is much harder… So please, if you have any experience with it – HELP!

These are great! I’m going to make them as end-of-the year gifts for my students, with seeds they can plant in June that will bloom in late summer or early fall. Thanks!

Hi there, I would like to seed bomb outside my work. I work in an advertising agency in London and feel this would be the prefect antidote to all the corporate surroundings. Problem is, there is no green space.

See Link:

Will they still work in the cracks, any other ideas? Thanks x

To quote a Masanobu Fukuoka saying “do plants grow?”

In other words yes veggies can work well, but not in all situations

I would like to know if vegetable seeds can be part of the seed balls. I work at a community college in California and we plan to make seed balls as part of our Earth Day celebration and want to give some to a community garden. Do you think it is best to stick with herbs and native wild flowers or can veggies work, too? Thanks for your answer.
