gifts that are the 'bomb'!

That may be the cheesiest title EVER. sorry!
I am pondering the idea of giving seed bombs as wedding favors. I was convinced that seeds in a cute, handmade envelope were the way to go, but now I am wondering if seed bombs are better.
What is a seed bomb you ask? Well, according to answers.com it is this:

Seed bombing, also known as "Seed Grenades" is a technique of introducing vegetation to arid soils or otherwise inhospitable terrains. A seed bomb is a compressed clod of soil containing live vegetation that may be thrown or dropped onto a terrain to be modified. The term "seed grenade" was first used by Liz Christy in 1973 when she started the "Green Guerillas". The first seed grenades were made from balloons filled with local wildflower seeds, water and fertilizer. The seed grenades were tossed over fences onto empty lots in New York City in order to make the neighborhoods look better. It was the start of the Guerrilla Gardening movement.

In other words, you just take one of these and drop (or throw) into any area where you want some pretty flowers. People use them to make urban areas greener. I think that they can also be used in planters or that spot in the yard that is barren.

I love the idea of a garden in a ball. I am planning to make some of these and throw them around my neighborhood and on the way to work, and possibly give them to other urban dwellers as Christmas gifts.

There is a recipe for them here.

google Guerilla Gardening. I am in love with this idea and would love to do something like this in birmingham. We have so many areas downtown that need some green lovin'.
