Directions for your Seed Bombs:
Planting your Seed Bombs is simple and a fun way to support pollinators, green up a neglected areas, or add a touch of wildflower flare to your garden. Here's how to do it:
What You Need:
- Seed Bombs (from us)
- A location with bare, worked soil that has access to all day sun
How To Plant:
1. Choose the right time: The best time to plant your Seed Bombs is just before a rain - but hey, this is Nebraska, so sometimes we have to make rain. Spring is ideal for our Cosmos, Orange Sherbet, and Jellybeans mixes, while fall might be better for the Nebraska Natives mix.
2. Choose a suitable spot: Look for a place with minimal to no foot traffic. Bare soil is best with all day sunshine exposure. Avoid areas with heavy weed or turf.
3. Toss or Press: Toss your Seed Bomb onto the soil in your chosen area or press it gently into the ground if you want to ensure the best chance for good seed-to-soil contact.
4. Let Mother Nature Get to Work: Rain (or water) will gently break down the clay and compost, allowing seeds to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist while your seeds establish themselves.
5. Be Patient: Germination can take a few days to even a few weeks (Nebraska Natives Mix, we're looking at you, girl.)
How to Harvest:
Harvesting your cutflowers (if you chose) at the right time and with the right technique helsp extend their vase life and encourages more blooms. Here's how:
1. Time of Day: Harvest early in the morning or in the evening when the plants are cooler, hydrated, and the sun isn't beating down on them.
2. Tools: Use clean, sharp scissors or garden snips to avoid crushing stems (you should NEVER crush a stem).
3. Water: Immediately place stems in cool, clean water after cutting.
