Each ball is made from seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chili powder. The ball stops the seeds from being a treat for birds and insects, thereby increasing the chances of your flowers growing. They’re very easy to use with no digging required.

Instructions for Use:

Throw onto soil or compost in a garden bed or planter in Spring or Autumn, leaving at least 10cm between each ball. Your Seedball has everything it needs to grow and, once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right, your seeds will germinate!
