#also while we're here. what kind of clay are yall using in seed bombs? where are you getting it from?

Okay but wait actually

How long does a seed bomb stay viable after you make it?

I know a lot of the recipes for them call for water--or at least for wet clay/compost. If that gets the seeds wet in the process of making them, about how long do you have before the seed bombs become unusable (like because the seed started trying to germinate but couldn't get water?)

Like. My usual method of guerrilla gardening is 'bag of seeds I carry in my purse and yeet whenever feels right', which works if you're on a walk or something, but becomes significantly less efficient when you're in a car going at like 60 miles per hour and your target is at least 10 feet away from the far right lane of traffic.

I wanna get a general idea of how long I have to use a seed bomb after I make it. Is it a 'go out immediately' kinda deal, or do I have some time? If the seed gets wet once and then doesn't again for awhile, is there a germination risk or no? Does it depend on the seed?
