Wildlife Kitchen Garden Mix Seeds by Seedball
Growing your own is even easier with seedballs and a great activity for all the family. This gift box contains:
- Herb Mix
- Salad Mix
- Beetle Mix
- Gift Box
Ideal for your Kitchen Garden or Allotment, you can grow herbs and salad all year round and some wildflowers to attract pollinating insects like beetles that may also help keep aphids and other plant eaters or help you with the composting. It’s a great gift for Mum, Dad, grandparents or someone who just wants to start veg growing.
Seedballs are easy to sow and grow, they make seed sowing much easier for children and people with limited hand movement. Simply scatter the Seedballs from the Salad Mix Seedball tin in a sunny spot where you want them to grow and give them a good water. Keep an eye out for the seedlings and keep them moist but not wet until they start to grow. If you want more control, sow in autumn or winter, or want to make a salad container, or teach your little ones, you can sow 4 to 6 seedballs in a pot, leave 10cm between each seedball, give them a water and keep them moist but not wet and watch them grow in to tiny seedlings and then into yummy herbs to enhance your meals.
Sowing Times – All year round, outdoors in spring and summer or indoors on a windowsill autumn and winter
Picking times – All year round
Herb plants are great for pollinators you can let a couple of plants grow on to flower to help wildlife.
