How to make seed bombs



Caroline Kim takes us through the step-by-step process of making seed bombs that gardeners on the go drop into the soil of barren, forlorn spots. Start with organic earthworm castings. Then add clay soil. Mix dry.



Add wildflower seeds to the mixture of clay and earthworm castings.



Next, Caroline adds water and mixes together wildflower seeds, clay soil and earthworm castings into a mud pie-like consistency.



She scoops up little mounds of the mixture and rolls them into bombs, more like balls.



The seed bombs are left to dry for a day outside in a plastic container.
