Seedball is an award-winning company based in North London. It was set up in 2012 by two conservation scientists, Emily Lambert and Ana Attlee who met at the University of Aberdeen while researching conservation and systems biology. The result of their research and development was Seedball which uses an ancient permaculture technique for increasing seed germination rates.
Wildflowers are naturally slow to germinate, and as such, loosely scattered seed can often be eaten by ants, birds and mice. Seedball helps to solve this problem by encasing the seed in a protective ball of clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder.
The barrier of dried outer clay means that the seed is inaccessible to predators, and once sufficient water permeates the clay, the seed inside will begin to germinate - helped along by the nutrients and minerals contained within the ball. The chilli powder continues to deter slugs and snails while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout.
Simply scatter your seedballs on top of soil in your chosen spot and let nature take care of the rest. Grow with Seedball and make your greenspace one step wilder!
