pill seed bomb press

thingiverse

vitamins? vitamins for nature! not flawless, but whatever. i included some other experimental versions that are even more pill shaped, the seem to work alright with plastic wrap liner in the mould. the finished pill is 20x7,5mm. also it's in the public domain, i don't want to limit people's ability to plant plants at all. sell it if you feel like doing that. just don't ask too much for it, that'd be rude. how to use guide or something like that(or how i did it anyway): mix whatever proportions of dry clay and dry compost, manure, soil or whatever that you want. i used 50/50. unless the compost is already quite fine it's good to grind it. i used an electric coffee grinder. add water until it's a good dough. but not too much since that might risk the seeds germinating early. i put a sheet of coffee filter over the mould before pushing in the clay. if nothing is used it tends to stick and be impossible to get out. thin plastic is probably much better. add seeds in the middle. they could also be mixed into the clay. if they're mixed in you could just put a big clump in one side of the mould and push in the other side. do the same thing(without seeds) with the other mould part, but overfill it a decent bit. push together quite hard, maybe limit it if the seeds are fragile. pull apart the pieces and peel away the filter paper. let dry. break away the clay edges and maybe reuse them. chuck at something you think needs more plants. and, of course do NOT put anything potentially invasive in them. i will slap anyone who throws lupine seed bombs in my sweden. de kan sticka och brinna, finns redan allt för många överallt...
