Hey, I saw a lot of people in the notes asking. I follow these people on tiktok and A: the seeds they use are all native to their region (California) and B: they sell native seed mixes, so far primarily for California but they’re making more mixes every so often. They also share the ‘After’ results as they start sprouting so yeah it does work, they rarely get ripped out from what they show.
I just jerked out of my midday dissociation and realized that seed bombing a golf course with mint would be the ultimate crime.
Oh my god this is so evil.
I love it.
Not mint. Native wildflowers. Because sure mint’s hard to kill and never completely goes away. But mint can also be kept low to the ground, and if you turn the sprinklers off and returf, you can keep it in check. Flowers, though? With quick growth, and fast seeding? Plants that have bred themselves for millennia for exactly that soil and the natural local water conditions? Do it in small sections, and start near water features. By the time anyone realizes that they’re the “wrong” plants, they’ll have already flowered and gone to seed, and once that happens, they are there forever. Source: mom may have used native wildflowers as spite plants before for a particularly obnoxious and lawn-proud neighbor who also lived downwind. Hypothetically, if she did this, she was also 1) a tenant and 2) not a fan of either the landlord or the local HOA.
It’d be a shame if somebody linked to how to make wildflower seedbombs. It’s simple enough but some folks might not know how but might really, really want to because they’d want to do something they absolutely shouldn’t and so helping them with multiple links would be really bad, right? I am not suggesting you do anything. I’m not thinking of golf courses near me.
im flower bombing all golf courses this summer in the name of decolonization
