Usually full of rubbish… never had one yet which has given much except one or two flowers and loads of weeds, to top it off they never give an even distribution so everything ends up clumped together and bear earth all around.
I think they are a gimmick, but around for thirty years, at least. The idea was that the mud gives some kind of medium for the seeds to grow in but it gives credance to the (common) idea that the growing of wild plants takes no work and you can throw seeds around and they will always grow happily away. It's a principle that gives a license to print money.
I'm more or less giving up even on direct sowing of seed. The results are just so dismal or absent.
I sprinkled a lot of packets of seed in a spare area, and got very few plants. I'm back to raising plants from seed in seed trays and transplanting. Too many slugs helping themselves to my seedlings in the ground.
You don't stop doing new things because you get old, you get old because you stop doing new things.
I used a generic version - of about 60 bombs, I got precisely nothing. I put out 3 packets of poppy seeds this spring with the same results though. Next year - seed trays!
