I finally am getting around to making some seed balls to try. I think I know how and I know what seed I'm going to try. My question is what kind of clay to use and where to buy it. I have my compost very dry and sifted into a coarse flour consistency - I have some nasturtium seeds ready to go into the mix. Now I need some pottery clay in powder form.
We have a "wild" area of our front yard out by the road that is an irregular shape about 100'x100' on a slope and we would like to try some wild flowers there as an experiment with seed balls.
By the way, we have some friends who live over in the city who have been tossing seed balls out of their car window at the interstate highway exit ramp near the stop sign. The flowers have come up for about 4 years now and they are beautiful. The highway mowing folks avoid this area and I guess they are enjoying the flowers also. Our friends call it their "stealth garden".
