There are bombs that are not deadly or destructive. These bombs are made of clay, compost, soil and seeds. The result is an explosion of colours, a nice smell and green all around you.
The idea of seed bombs came from New York where people started getting fed up with the large amount of empty lots in their neighbourhood but as there were fences around these places it was impossible to be able to plant things yourself. The answer was the seedbomb which made access to these empty spaces unnecessary.
To make your own bombs:
A seed bomb consists of 1 part seeds, 3 parts compost and 5 parts clay. You can use any
seeds you want: it can become a bouquet, a vegetable patch, Italian spices or even a mix.
Just keep in mind that once you’ve planted the seeds by throwing your bomb it will not be taken care of by anybody. So choose seeds of plants that are robust and require low maintenance.
Make your own bombs and make the neighbourhood greener! Of course it’s always fun
to have a little stash at home so you can pass them out to your friends, family and carry a
couple with you everywhere you go.
