A Pretend Gardener's Wishes

I've talked before about what a terrible gardener I am, so this video appealed to me.

Here's a pdf from a different source with more info on seed balls and how to use them. Apparently seed balls are a good way to ensure that plants grow (and they're a fun project for kids, too), because the clay prevents birds or rodents from eating the seeds. The seeds will wait until conditions are right (rain?) to germinate. Here's a bit on the history of seed balls.

Looks like fun! Just remember (as mentioned in some of the posts above) to be careful what you plant (no invasive species).
