Throw and Grow

So I ran into this recipe for seed balls. They are a spectacular and easy spring/summer project you can make by yourself or with the kids. It also makes the perfect gift so make a bunch and share with friends! These throw and grow seed balls will bloom wherever you toss the which also simplifies your gardening a bit:)

Throw and grow seed balls
Combine two parts mixed flower seeds with three parts compost.
Stir in five parts powdered clay (this can be purchased at most art supply or craft stores.)
Moisten with water
Form balls 1 inch in diameter and allow to dry for 24-48 hours.

Tip: I used an empty egg carton to sit mine out to dry. Once dried you can wrap in paper and tie with a ribbon to create a charming little gift. You can even add a clever little tag to it, all that you need to do is toss it water it and wait for it to grow. Super fun!
