Alice Strong left the corporate life in the late 1980s and began marketing unique high-quality gardening products. Her Seedballz pack a whole packet of seeds into a compact, all-natural clay ball. Simply push the ball into soil (do no cover) and let it get plenty of direct sunlight and water. Before long, an entire herb garden will be growing. The Herb Seedballz pack comes with two balls each of thyme, basil, parsley and chives. Strong gives back to the community by employing people with developmental disabilities, teaching them valuable skills, including the many benefits of gardening. Place Seedballz in the ground, a pot or scatter in a field. Each ball can cover about one square foot and germination can take anywhere from seven to 45 days. Store in a cool, dry place before planting. Once grown, pair the herbs with the countertop Herb Pot (sold separately).
