FAQs
1. What is the best way to plant these seed bombs?
Simply prepare a suitable growing area in a garden bed or large pot, place the seed bombs according to the included instructions, and water them to encourage germination.
2. Are all the plants in this collection edible?
Yes, this collection features edible native herbs, greens, root vegetables, and berries. However, correct plant identification and preparation are essential, as some parts may be unsuitable if unripe or incorrectly prepared.
3. How much space does one box cover?
One box provides enough seeds to cover an area of approximately 3 to 4 m².
4. Do I need special tools to grow these seeds?
No specialised gardening equipment is required. The protective clay mixture holds the seeds in place until moisture and conditions are right for germination.
5. Why are there different germination treatments included?
Many Australian native plants have adapted to harsh conditions and require specific triggers, like bushfire smoke or hot water, to germinate. The included treatments allow you to replicate these natural processes at home.
How to Use / Care Instructions
Follow the detailed planting and germination instruction leaflet included in the box. Place the clay seed bombs in your prepared garden bed or large pot, and water as directed. For species requiring hot-water or smoke-assisted treatment, use the provided biodegradable soak bag and smoke-infused granules exactly as outlined. Germination times vary by species, climate, and soil conditions. Always obtain reliable species-specific advice before harvesting or consuming any bush-tucker plant.
