    Some people are asking questions about wildflower seed bombs.

    So to Clarify those misleading statements on this Board.

    (Q) Are native Irish Seeds used in Wildflower Seed Bombs?

    (A) Yes wildflower seed bombs are created using wildflower seeds that are grown on a small private family farm in Co Meath since 2015

    (Q) Wildflower Seed Bomb Ireland has been aired on RTE garden programs and featured in many national media newspapers.

    (A) It would appear that some seed cartels on the island don't like ideas or new competition so they post misleading statements online.

    Many companies and organizations have been using native Irish wildflower seed bombs for years with huge success. From Tidy Towns, Schools, Universities etc

    Like growing any seeds, ground preparation is Key.

    Wildflower Seed Bombs' advantage over loose seeds is they protect the seeds when broadcast, whereas loose seeds are open to wildlife and predators which can feed on loose seeds.

    One wildflower Seed Bomb per sq foot of ground area. Many try to make grown sound complicated. Seed bombs have been a method of growing and supporting

    Biodiversity since 424 AD.

    I am part of a 100 acre apple growing business here in CO Armagh and we have been using Seed Bombs this past few years to help pollination. Our yield has dramatically increased because the many colorful varieties of flowers are attracting the much needed honey bees. Indeed, such was the bee density increase that we had to call in six more Aparists (Bee Keepers) and "our" honey is one of the best loved in N Ireland. Thank you Seed Bombs.
