My daughter is about to get 10, and I'd like to engage her with #supportingpollinators preparing #seedballs as little gifts to her party friends. Any advice regarding materials and seeds? I'm thinking of clay mixed with soil from our garden (it's full of seeds of native herbaceous plants). 🏵️ 🌱 🌼 🌼

Die Möglichkeit, Saatbomben selbst herstellen zu können, kam bei unserem Tag der offenen Tür sehr gut an und zwar nicht nur bei den Kindern, sondern auch bei den Erwachsenen. Für alle, die sich mit dieser Aktion aktiv für die Natur 🌱engagiert haben, gab es einen bunten mit Helium gefüllten Luftballon🎈, natürlich von Hand zugeknibbelt (pfälzisch für zugebunden) vom Team aus dem Bereich Infrastruktur, Bau und Technik #saatbomben #seedballs #nachhaltigkeit #natur #klimaretter #greenbg

I know seedballs are used in Oz.

The "ash to stop animals eating them" bit I haven't heard of.
At first glance it looks like a great idea.

The accounts of the huge changes to plant cover of the continent with the introduction of sheep and cattle (especially but also rabbits, goats, camels and horses too) are troubling to read.

Saving environment through seedballs – The Raisina Hills

It looks like some ants have been drilling holes into the #seedballs. We probably haven't been getting enough rain for anything that germinated to have continued to grow. Chance of rain over the next few days, so I'm going to sow some more seeds. #gardening
Here's a picture of the #seedball with a green sprout. It actually has two. #gardening #seedballs @gardening
@gardening Today, I think I see a little green sprout starting to protrude from one 🙂 #gardening #seedballs
@gardening made some more #seedballs today. The ones I made two weeks ago turned grey like the clay and then disappeared after the rain! Today, I added seeds like tomato and sunflower but not watermelon because it's not quite time.
