Not Your Usual Seed Bomb

When you first hear the term "Seed Bomb" you might imagine a small grenade like device.  Something that you hold, concealed in your hand, as you walk down the sidewalk towards your objective, the vacant and overgrown lot that is a blight upon your neighborhood.  You pull the pin and toss the seed bomb high into the air with a smile of joy on your face and a sense of freedom in your heart.  Your inner rebel coming out you expect a small explosion and seeds to shower forth in a beautiful arc.  The seeds scattering over the damaged earth awaiting the slightest bit of rain in order to fulfill their mission of beautification.

The reality is that seed bombs are nothing of the sort.  They are balls of mud, and not very attractive ones at that.  They don't explode, there is nothing really cool about them, there aren't attractive to look at, and they certainly don't make good gifts.  Unless of course your get these seed bombs.



















Seed bombs that are made to look like chocolate truffles.  They are beautiful to look at, come in a biodegradable box with instructions, they are dusted with natural pesticides (coffee, cinnamon, etc.) and best of all they come in assorted "flavors".

You can choose from the edible flower assortment, Italian herbs, birds and butterflies, and there is even a "Slow Drink" assortment.  Imagine foraging your guerrilla garden for fresh mint to put into your mojito or basil for your martini.

Looking for a special treat for your dog or cat?  There are seed bombs for them too.  Just like the cake pops you get at Starbucks but these contain catnip and catmint for your feline friend and oat, rye, and wheat grasses for your canine to munch on.
