Seedball helps to solve this problem by encasing the seed in a protective ball of clay, compost and chilli. A barrier of dried outer clay means that the seed is inaccessible to predators, and once sufficient water permeates the clay, the seed inside will 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeedball \u003cspan\u003eare a London-based, multi-award-winning eco-enterprise, established in 2011 by two conservation scientists as the UK's first seed ball company.
