#flower bombs

Flower bombs are great. They’re easy to make and sometimes just lobbing stuff over fences and into industrial waste lands is really fun! 

But you need to be aware they are not always that effective. Most people throw them in abandoned properties and bare land. Land is normally bare for a reason wether it’s soil ph or density, so flower bombs often end up just adding dust on top of unfertile soil. 

So if you’re gonna use them (and you should!) throw them at places they have a chance of growing to be more effective. So avoid old industrial plants or purely concrete places (some car parks have enough cracks that plants can grow but it’s rare), go for places like pavements and muddy verges. 

Bee bombs AKA flower bombs!

Having a delicious hot chocolate, lighted candles and planting some cute little heart 'wildflower bee bombs' which are gifted from @theteabreakproject as part of a cute little activity you can do with the family or by yourself.

'Bee bombs' can be a convenient way to start a wildflower patch (if you haven't really got a garden like me) or meadow in your garden, but that's mainly because a base in the form of compost and clay has been added to the seed mix, which makes it easier to sow. The compost and clay act as a carrier for the seeds and can be scattered throughout the year, the clay protects them until they are ready to germinate. There are diverse opinions on this around the world and many say spring and autumn are particularly good times to start them growing but in this video I'm planting them in two little plant pots for the windowsill and when they grow I'll plant them outside. It was easy to do, just followed the instructions and it was from the Bee Badge Box.

The Bee Badge Box has everything you need for two wonderful teabreaks with a beeswax wraps kit and wildflower bee bombs.

Bees need 3 things to thrive – food, shelter and water. Different bees are active throughout the year, so you'll need flowering plants from spring to winter.

They forage from flowers rich in nectar and pollen – the nectar contains sugar they need for energy, and pollen contains protein and oils. It takes around 4-6 weeks for them to begin to grow and will grow quickly once you see the seedlings. Try to water them if it doesn't rain soon after planting.

It’s like this spark of euphoric electricity from your fingertips, made to specifically travel through my body, only to reach my brain, and explode.

“Flower Bombs” 

I imagine them as 4th of July and New Years Eve fireworks, as one, going off in my head. And flying off the end of the sparkling spirals are orange Lilies, blue Tulips, white Roses, fluorescent colored Johnny Jump Ups... 

Meanwhile, every one of the nerve endings in my body are on fire.
