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\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach tin measures approx 3.4cm (diameter) x 1.6cm (depth)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wildflower seeds include a mix from Common Toadflax, Cornflower, Cowslip, Meadow Cranesbill, Musk Mallow, Oxeye Daisy and Red campion, plus a sprinkling of pollinator-friendly annuals Chamomile, Cornflower, Corn Marigold, and Night-Flowering Catchfly.\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.
