I AM LOOKING INTO MAKING SEED BOMBS ON A SMALL SCALE.SEED BOMBS ARE A
MIXTURE OF COMPOST CLAY AND SEEDS COMPRESED INTO AN SMALL EGG SHAPE
PELLET WHICH CAN BE SCATTERED ONTO WASTE GROUND AND WILL SELF
GERMINATE.
THEY NEED TO BE MADE WITH A DRY MIXTURE TO PREVENT GERMINATION UNTILL THEY ARE 
RAINED UPON.
I PERSONALLY THINK A TABLET PRESS IS MY ANSWER, BUT AM UNSURE IF THE
PELLETS HOLD TOGETHER AND NEED A COST EFFECTIVE PRESS IF ONE EXHISTS.
I HAVE LOOKED INTO ANIMAL FEED PRESSES ,ETC BUT ALL SEEM TO GOOD AND FAR MORE 
EXPENSIVE THAN I FEEL IS NESSESARY.
MY QUESTION IS THERFORE THIS, AM I ON THE RIGHT LINES THINKING A TABLET PRESS
IS THE MACHINE I NEED FOR THIS JOB OR IS THERE A DIFFERENT OPTION?
WHAT IS THE BEST  WAY FORWARD, HAPPY TO SPEND A FEW HUNDRED POUNDS
BUT NOT THOUSANDS?
I AM IN THE UK SO ANY ANSWER WOULD NEED TO APPLY HERE.

A tablet press may be OK to make samples but would not have the
capacity to produce commercial quantities of this sort of product. You
need to look at a hammermill and some form of pelleting machine.
