About Soil Blockers


In Europe, free-standing blocks of soil, rather than peat pots or seed flats, are almost universally used for starting vegetable and flower seeds. No containers are needed. To make the soil blocks, just fill a soil blocker with thoroughly moistened potting mix (Quickroot Soilless Potting Mix is perfect), set the blocker in a seed flat and release. With one stroke you'll create multiple soil blocks, each with a small depression in the top, for the seed. When the seedlings are ready, you can plant them in the ground or bring them along further by dropping the soil blocks into openings in the tops of larger soil blocks, as described below. It is important to keep the soil blocks well watered with a fine mist (see Fogg-It Nozzles, in Watering Supplies). Ladbrooke Soil Blockers are imported from England and are the highest quality on the market. Watch out for cheap imitations that stick, break or go out of alignment soon after purchase.
