An Ancient Seed-Planting Tradition Lives Again

When Native Americans sowed their crops, they didn’t use tractors or plows. To keep valuable seed from blowing away or being eaten by birds, they often hid it inside little balls of clay. The same method works well today: just scatter these seed balls on prepared soil and water well.

                I gave a humming bird and wildflower seed balls as gifts. The package/burlap bag was very small, but the design on the package was lovely.

                    Dear Gardeners - I always enjoy your products and
                    catalogs. I like the seed balls I ordered for a business colleague. However I was very surprised that the bags were so small. I think your catalog shows them as big, old burlap bags! Not a major problem, just a jolt when they arrived.
