What is a Seedball?

A ball made from seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chili powder.

Seeds - a mix of seeds for making your own tea!

Clay - holds the ball together and provides protection from birds and insects

Peat-free compost - provides the nutrition

Chili powder - deters slugs and snails from eating the young shoots

How it works

As the seeds are encased in a ball with clay, peat-free compost and chili powder, they're essentially already 'planted'.

Once they are scattered on top of compost or soil (avoid scattering on grass), with water and sunlight, the seeds will start to germinate.

This process can take 4-6 weeks.

As the plants begin to establish, the ball will break down and become less visible. 

For this tea mix, the balls can be planted either on a sunny windowsill or in a garden bed or pot.

Plants included

A mix of mint, chamomile and anise which can all be drunk as an infusion of freshly cut leaves, while the anise seeds can also be ground and strained into hot water.

Anise preparations are a fantastic treatment for asthma and a bronchitis cough, in addition to digestive complaints like bloating, colicky stomach pain, nausea, and indigestion.

Brew a cup of fragrant chamomile tea to enjoy so many chamomile tea benefits! This herbal tea eases insomnia, boosts your immune system, banishes menstrual cramps, and much, much more!

Mint tea is a delicious and refreshing way to boost your overall health in a number of ways, due to its ability to improve digestion, reduce pain, eliminate inflammation, relax the body and mind, treat bad breath, aid in weight loss and boost the immune system.

How to use Seedballs

This tin contains 20 seedballs which is enough to cover 1 metre square in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots.

1. Simply throw the balls onto soil or compost in your garden bed or planter.

2. Leave at least 10cm between each ball.

3. It's as simple as that! You seedball has everything it needs to grow and germinate once the ball becomes moist and the temperature is right!

When to scatter

Can be grown from early Spring to late Autumn (all three plants are unlikely to grow from one ball).
