3. Bee Mix Wildflower Seedball – Seedball
Seed ball bee mix
From a window box gardener to a allotment grower this is the perfect gift for any seed sower who wants to save the bees. In the words of the award winning SeedBall team “Each seed ball contains a mini ecosystem: wildflower seeds are mixed with clay, peat-free compost and a smidgen of chili powder, and rolled into a small ball. The dried clay acts as a protective casing from common seed predators. When sufficient rain permeates the clay, the seeds inside begin to germinate – helped along by the nutrients and minerals contained within the ball. The chili powder continues to deter predators while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout.” That’s clever stuff and a great gift.
The price of £6.99 per tin has got everyone a buzz. BUY IT NOW
