For a more elaborate (and somewhat more practical) seedbomb accessory concept, see Seedbomb Bangles. The pin below is a one-off, fashioned from recycled scraps and showcasing a small watchcase featuring stored wildflower seeds.

Seed Bomb Bangles

Seed bombs, dating back to the early seventies, were an early strategy in the guerilla gardening movement. The first seed bombs involved putting seeds inside of balloons, filling the balloons with water and then tying them off, and throwing the water balloons into vacant lots and neglected patches of urban wasteland. The balloons would explode, water the seeds, and voila—instant garden.

Now we know better; the balloons themselves are an ecological no-no. Guerilla gardening continues around the world, as do seed bombs. Google either on the Web and you'll find lots of different techniques and strategies.

We believe the latest false product from Stuff You Can't Have is the most elegant solution to seed bombing and guerilla gardening. Our seed bomb bangles are intriguing looking, easy to employ, recyclable for repeated use, and best of all, they're a fashion accessory!

The Basic Bangle: filled with grass seed

Fashioned from clear half-inch plastic tubing with a five-eighths-inch fastener, you can open a bangle, fill it with the seeds of your choice, and refill over and over again. When you are out and about wearing your bangles and spot a forlorn patch of dirt in the mean city, simply open your bangle and scatter the seeds. Use your water bottle (presumably also eco-correct and reusable) to sprinkle some water on the seedlings and get them off to a good start.
