Native Seed Bombs - Edible Bush Tucker

$19.00

These specially selected bush tucker species are great for salads, roasted root vegetable dishes, sweet summer berries and currents, and include native herbs such as thyme, wild jack beans, wild tomato and even breakfast raisins. Everything you need for the full bush tucker experience at home.

The Bush Tucker Edible collection has everything you need to experience the interesting practice of smoke and water treating seeds before germination as well as full instruction leaflet.

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.

Also included are hot water treatment seedbombs in a specially designed biodegradable germination soak bag and smoke pre treatment seeds with smoke infused granules for smoke assisted germination.

  • Seed Bombs:

    Cast your bombs on bare earth or in pots. Try to avoid established grasses so the new seedlings don't have to compete. Water well and don't let them dry out once they're germinating.

    Hot Water Treatment Seeds:

    Place the biodegradable bag of hot water treatment seeds into a jug of hot water (around 80 degrees C). Soak seeds overnight or until water is cool.
    Choose a sunny or lightly shaded, well drained area of your garden in the earth or a pot. Shallow plant .5 metres apart. Protect from frost while seedling or plant after last frost.

    Smoke Treatment Seeds:

    Sow the seeds as normal, then place a sprinkle of the smoke infused granules over the surface of the soil where the seeds have been planted. Ensure you spread an even amount over the area.

    Watering:

    Water well if steady rain is not forecast until plants are established. Try to allow soil to semi-dry between waterings.
