Flowerbomber: Isn’t It Time You Bought Mr. Moritz’ Flowerbomber Throw ‘n’ Grow Seed Balls?

Get the gift that keeps on growing! 20 handmade FlowerBomber seed balls (aka “seed bombs”) jam-packed with organic compost and up-to 43 native wildflower varieties good-to-grow from coast-to-coast in the USofA. All handmade by Mr. Moritz himself!!

It’s the Green Guerrilla gift that helps you turn barren public spaces into urban wildflower oases. And it’s as simple as, well, this…

Step 1: Find a vacant lot, dirt-covered traffic median, crack in a wall, wherever.
Step 2: Toss a “Throw ‘n’ Grow” (or two or three).
Step 3: Come back after a bit of rain (or with a watering can if you’re the go-getter type) and watch as wildflowers sprout, bloom, blossom and reclaim the city!

Throw them in the Fall. Throw them in the Spring. Heck, thrown them in the Winter or Summer or whenever you feel like it! Each “Throw ‘n’ Grow” seed ball is encased in hard red clay that protects the seeds from the elements and nosy critters (Yo, Messieurs Bird and Squirrel! We’re talking to you!) right up until the rainy season — or irrigation system — kicks in. As moisture dissolves the clay, the seeds sprout underneath a fertile blanket of organic compost. Pretty nifty, eh?

The Throw ‘n’ Grow seed ball pack makes a seriously stylish gift. It’s also exactly what you need to unleash your inner guerrilla gardener and start planting the power!

Fuel TV’s ‘Built To Shred’ host Jeff King and pro skater Chad Knight decided to turn an iPad into a skateboard, and when they’d finished skating on it, they turned it into a ramp extension - “The worst $500 extension I’ve ever skated on.” Spoiler: It’s a terrible skateboard but it’s fun watching an iPad being skated on and seeing Chad Knight falling over.
