seed bombs
Throwable plant starters
Seed bombs are compact balls of soil, clay, and seeds designed to be tossed onto bare ground to grow plants.
Used in guerrilla gardening to green neglected urban spaces without formal planting: We made seed bombs with wildflower seeds and threw them into the vacant lot.
The clay protects seeds from birds and helps retain moisture until rain triggers germination.
