I was really excited to see this post on Garth Johnson's blog. Seed Bombs are such a fun way to brighten up the city, and these ones in particular are amazing. I first came across the grenade seed bomb through another website, Kabloom. These ones, called Seedboms, aren't related to the Flower Grenades that Garth featured.
There is a lot of information about seed bombs online. Pittsburgh has so much unused land in abandoned parking lot, buildings and factories, and green lots where houses used to stand. This city is ripe for seed bombing. While these grenades are pretty rad, I think half the fun is making the bombs yourself.  It's pretty easy. All you need is some powdered clay, fertilizer, and some native plant seeds. Mix it up, add a dash of water, form balls and let them dry.
