A simple way to grow from seed.
Clay ball (plus added chili) naturally protects seed from predators, such as ants, birds and slugs.
Easy to use - no need to 'plant', just scatter on top of soil or compost.
Ideal for garden beds, planting pots and window boxes.
Each tin contains 20 seed balls.
Each seed ball contains approximately 30 Salad Mix seeds.
As a guide at least twenty seed balls per square meter is recommended for a garden, or 3 - 5 seed balls for a small to medium sized pot.
Sprouts seen in 1-2 weeks (regular watering can speed up the process).
Scatter from spring through to the end of summer.
Leaving some plants to flower will provide tasty food for bees and butterflies too.

Great if you have Prime. I've voted hot but don't need anything else to take it over £20 so, with postage, it's not for me. Shame.

I made my own last year (foxglove & southern marsh orchid). I'll do the same for bluebells this year as soon as the seed has set.
Not voted as they're a bit pricey considering how easy they are tyo make.

May seem a daft question, but do you just cover seeds in clay? I've got some bluebells I want to move (had some success with last lot I moved) but wonder if this will be more successful? Thanks for any tips you can give

Bluebells should be easy to move. Dig them up when the foliage starts to look a bit sad, divide the clumps and replant. Seeds will take a while to develop into flowering plants.
There are many resources on how to create seedballs, but the short version is to simply get some soil, add some seeds and make the balls by rolling the mix between your palms. When dry, just chuck them where you want the plants. Great for gorilla gardening!
