Ready, Steady Kabloom

We received our gifted kabloom seedbombs ages ago, but with all this hot and dry weather I was worried about how we could have a successful seed bombing mission. With no rain in the forecast, I decided something had to be done and came up with a plan. 




Firstly where to seedbomb? we have a little border by our backdoor which we are going to let ATM (our middle boy) plant, he also wanted to try out the seedbomb. This border became the perfect place as the seedbombs can nestle among the plants he chooses.

The last few days I have been using grey water on the border to get it ready for some plants. Emptying our washing up water that was not too dirty, we use ecover and method products so I was not worried about anything nasty. Any water I saved the whilst running hot or cold tap has also gone on the garden and this border.



So we are ready to start seedbombing the border, ATM loved the packaging and noticed straight away that they attract wildlife to the garden and I must admit this is what genuinely drew me to the product, we try to plant as many flowers in the garden that will feed our pollinators and attract more to the garden. Last year we did Blooms for Bees where we grew Dahlias from seed and counted bees being attracted to them. Every little helps and the fact they are fun is even better.



ATM and I started by reading the instructions, he poured in the water, it did spill a little but he thought that was rather funny. I have a kiddies watering can (which I use to water my hanging baskets, my top tip) he used that as it was easier to control the water. We kept carefully adding a little water to see it getting wetter and wetter then we decided they must be ready. He did enjoy squeezing the bomb especially as it got more and more sticky.





It took about five mins and we were ready to go, he had great fun throwing them on to the border, he was a little fed up they did not have a massive explosion. But he is six so that is understandable. 

Some action shots showing just how much a six-year-old boy loves to throw a seedbomb and takes it very seriously.



We did slightly open the seedbombs as I was worried we had not exploded it enough and then, unfortunately, the toddler got hold of one and emptied it. But there are lots of seeds so I am sure it will be fine and we have one that is whole.



We are a typical busy family and suddenly realised we planted in July when maybe we should not have, I am not sure if they will flower this year or next year. But we had lots of fun and he is very interested and keeps looking at it to see if it is doing anything so let see what happens.


Here is a link to their website if you want to check it out as there are so many different seedbombs to choose from.

I was kindly gifted this seed bomb by Kabloom for us to plant and try out. As always the thoughts and opinions are always my own.

  5. I'd never heard of Kabloom seedbombs before - very neat idea! It's a curious concept, as all the little seedlings must compete with each other in the small space. But it still sounds like a fun way to get kids gardening!
