These BonBons are for Planting, Not for Eating

H

ere’s a cute Valentine’s day gift idea for gardeners and foodies alike — although packaged like candy, these bonbons are really seed balls. Depending on which collection you choose, seeds for either Italian herbs or tea herbs are packaged in a candy-shaped ball of clay and organic compost.

To plant, you just set the bonbons in place on top of the soil, perhaps pressing them in a bit if there’s a chance of them rolling away (but don’t bury completely — you can delay or derail germination completely!)

But here’s the best news: Our blogging pals over at ccdwell.com are hosting a giveaway of these cute seed-bearing truffles! All you have to do is visit the site and leave a comment for a chance to win.

And for more info, or to purchase the bonbons, visit Moultonology.com –  you’ll find some nice tools, accessories, and gifts for gardeners. ♣
