No gardening tools required for the seed bombs, simply throw and grow bush food.
The clay protects the seeds until conditions are right for germination, where they will germinate and explode into growth and develop into your edible garden. Seed bombs have been used for hundreds years in ancient Japan and Europe to revegetate landscapes and re-wild the earth. No gardening tools required, simply throw and grow! They work well in open gardens or in pots, so perfect for any sized garden where you want to support native species.

The flesh is used for jams, sauces, chutneys, and desserts, while the kernel inside the large stone is edible when roasted.

Watering
Proper watering is crucial:
- Soak the root ball and shield fronds thoroughly when the moss feels dry
- Allow excess water to drain completely
- Reduce watering in winter
- Mist shield fronds occasionally
Light & Positioning
Place your fern where it receives:
- Bright, indirect light
- Protection from direct sun, especially midday
- Good air circulation
