How to:
- Line a baking tray or old box with newspaper.
- Combine the bag of seed ball mix with your soil in a bowl, break up any large clumps. Add in the water, ½ a cup at a time, mixing with your hands. The mixture should be the consistency of cookie dough.
- Scoop some dough and roll into 1" balls. Place the ball onto your lined surface. Do this five times per seed type.
- Once you have five balls rolled, sprinkle one of the seed packets onto the lined surface and shake the pan back and forth, covering the balls with seeds. Do this for each type of seed packet until you have five seed balls for each seed packet.
- Allow the balls to dry for 24–48 hours before planting or sharing with friends.
- To plant, push seed balls half way into the soil in your garden or container. Use the garden guide ruler for spacing the seed balls for optimal growth. Plant in a location with full sun and after the threat of frost has passed. Keep the area moist until sprouts pop, then water as needed based on the climate and weather conditions. Increase watering frequency on hot summer days.
