Sasquatch Turds Offers Native Wildflower Mix in Clay Seed Balls for Regreening the Earth

November 25, 2019 – – Sasquatch Turds, a company based in Conifer, Colorado, has announced that they are offering clay seed bombs, which provide a simple way to re-green the Earth. With these clay seed bombs, people can easily plant a garden, build soil, control erosion, and renew the land. These are made from clay, compost and native blends of wildflower seeds. The seeds are kneaded into a mixture of clay and compost and then rolled into little balls that are then allowed to dry. These little balls will be placed in areas where people want to re-green. The hard clay protects the seeds from being eaten by rodents and birds. After three to five rains, the clay shell breaks down, allowing the seeds to germinate.

Sasquatch Turds offers clay seed bombs for various regional native wildflowers for certain areas in the United States and Canada. The mix is made up of annual and perennial wildflowers that are native to the region. And whenever available, they get the seeds from that region to ensure maximum adaptability.

Seth Tanis, founder of Sasquatch Turds, says, “I got into solar to participate in change and I wanted to be a part of an industry that produces, rather than consumes. However, while renewable energy answers a portion of the energy challenge, it’s not going to solve the other environmental issues we are facing. Pollinators are disappearing, drought and wild fires are increasing, top soil is degrading and rivers are becoming full of sediment. Sasquatch Turds provides a low tech, low cost option where anyone can participate in change. Together, we can re-green the earth one deuce at a time.”

The technique for planting clay seed balls in abandoned areas and usually inhospitable land was developed in Japan by Masanobu Fukuoka, who is a pioneer in “natural farming.” This technique has been successfully used in the Greenpoint and Williamsburg neighborhoods in Brooklyn, New York City. This allowed them to take control of their small piece of the Earth because the city was at the end of a development phase at that time and the residents had to make their own contributions in taking care of their own environment. They began throwing seed balls into areas they believe required re-greening, and they realized that it was a fun way of contributing to the environment.

Sasquatch Turds has made available various collections for its clay seed bombs. These include the High Plains Native Wildflower Bend, Intermountain Native Wildflower Blend, Midwest Native Wildflower Blend, Mountain Native Wildflower Blend, Northeast Native Wildflower Blend, Northwest Native Wildflower Blend, Southeast Native Wildflower Blend, Southwest Native Wildflower Blend, and Texas/Oklahoma Native Wildflower Blend.

They also offer a Sasquatch Turds logo sticker, Colorado flag sticker, hooded sweatshirt, short-sleeve T-shirt, infant bodysuit, mug, and books. Available books include the book titled, “Our Native Bees: North America’s Endangered Pollinators and the Fight to Save Them,” and “Wildflowers of the Rocky Mountain Region.”

For those who are interested in the clay seed balls, the best time to plant them is during the late fall through the early spring. Many of the seeds prefer a period of cold to break the dormancy before germination. Watering them can certainly help but not watering them will actually make sure that only the strongest plants will survive. But because the seeds came from native species, they have a strong chance of survival in that particular area. And there is no worry about people stepping on them because it will actually embed the turds into the soil.

According to Sasquatch Turds, seed bombs offer a great way to re-green the planet because they are essentially “self-planting.” They offer a higher germination rate and more even coverage compared to the use of loose seeds. The combination of clay, compost and seeds also offers an advantage because the clay serves to absorb the moisture, the compost provides the nutrients, and the seeds already know what to do. Over time, the clay seed balls will dissolve into the ground, hedging the chances of germination against the weather, birds, and rodents.
