It depends on the size of your seedballs and the ratio you use. Our article says 5 parts clay to 2 parts potting soil or humus and 1 to 2 parts seeds, but I've also seen 5 parts powdered clay to 3 parts compost and 1 part seeds. I have no idea how much a seedball weighs, but doing some sleuthing at ready to use seedballs online, I would guess about one pound would be more than enough.
