A collection of five Seedball herb tubes to grow your own Basil, Parsley, Chive, Mint and Wild Rocket – common herbs, which can be easily grown in pots or amongst a flower patch, and which are delicious for both us and the bees. Each tube contains 20 balls of the same herb.
They're easy to use – simply scatter on top of soil, water well and nature will take care of the rest. One tube will cover a good 3-5 pots or a square meter of a garden bed.
The card packaging includes a barcode, scattering time and full instructions, where we also ask that some of the plants be left to flower for the bees. The seed balls are manufactured at Seedball's factory in London from a mixture of clay, peat-free compost (made from recycled garden waste), chilli powder and UK-sourced seeds.
By being encased within the balls, the seeds can be easily scattered and remain protected from seed predators during early growth. Without the need for complex gardening or expertise (or even the need to dig!), the Seedball Herb Tubes have a board gifting appeal to anyone with an interest in sustainable gardening, growing-your-own kitchen garden and helping wildlife along the way.
