Make Your Own Seed Bombs

Seed bombing is a fun way to broadcast seeds into areas of your yard that need some extra color. The paper encasing keeps the seeds moist, creating a perfect environment for germination. These little gems will change the way you garden! What you will need: junk mail straight from the shredder (limit your choices to the non-glossy variety); water; immersion blender; wildflower seeds specific to your region.
