Each tin contains 20 seed balls, enough to cover 1 square metre in a garden bed or 3-5 medium sized pots (leave at least 10cm between each ball). Each seed ball contains approximately 10 seeds from a mix of Basil, Dill, Parsley, Chives and Sweet Marjoram. Scatter around Spring or Autumn. A collection of scrumptious cooking herbs – a perfect addition to a kitchen garden! The Herb Mix can be grown on a sunny spot on a kitchen windowsill inside (be sure to keep well-watered) or in a garden bed or pot outdoors. Do leave some of your Chive and Sweet Marjoram to flower, bees will love it! We make the seed balls ourselves from our HQ in North London - from a mixture of UK native wildflower seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder. The outer clay protects the seeds from ants, birds and mice, and once sufficient water has permeated the clay, the seeds inside begin to germinate - helped along by the nutrients and minerals contained within the ball. The chilli powder continues to deter slugs and snails while the seed ball slowly degrades and the seeds sprout. All wildflowers are listed by the RHS as 'Plants for Pollinators'.
