KAPOW! Flowerpower of the SEEDBOM

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

A Glasgow-based designer has invented a bomb of a peaceful nature: marketed as ‘SEEDBOM’, this grenade-shaped vessel contains all the necessary nutrients for a seedling to flourish, even on brownfield, or derelict land. The idea is that on impact, these nutrients and the fledgling plant become released, so you can happily throw these onto patches of wasteland, nearby derelict land, neighbouring uncared for and abandoned patches to improve the environment at large. Building on the growing guerilla gardening movement, this looks like a winning addition to the artillery. Available at selected outlets across Glasgow, details available online at http://www.kabloom.co.uk/.
