What in the hell are gumballs?

They're little booby traps in your yard that prevent you from walking outside barefooted.

Look up Sweet Gum trees on the internet. Like the pine tree has pine cones, the sweet gum tree has gum balls. They are small round balls with sharp spikes all around them.

You would only have to step on one of them bare-footed one time and you would never forget what they are!

You can collect the sweetgum balls (dried ones), spray paint and glitter them, and either use them on Christmas gifts
or Christmas trees, in bowls on the table on in clear glass vases or baskets with natural pine cones. They make really pretty ornamental touches for wreaths for every season when left natural, and I've used them in floral arrangements by gluing them onto thin sticks and placing them right in with cut, dried
or silk flowers.

You might not be able to prevent them from falling to the ground, but you can sure find lots of crafty uses for them.

There are people who will buy them for craft uses as well.

I would pay postage to send me some! They are supposed to be good for spiders. I put some out several years ago and worked like a charm.

Very few of the many seeds are fertile. Gum balls can be tilled into compacted soil for aeration, minding the pH, of course.

I appreciate the craft ideas certainly, as my garden is polluted with balls from my (well-liked) neighbor. Are they a sourde for storax gum? Not sure, find your own web info at your own risk.

Will tilling in the gumballs greatly affect the ph of the soil?
