- Set of four (4), 7/8" inch Dowel Pins used in Ladbrooke Mini 4, Mini 5, Multi 6, Multi 12, and Multi 20. 7/8" refers to the depth of indentation made by the seed pin.
- These longer than standard Seed Pins, also called Dowel Pins, are used to create indentations in the soil blocks for inserting seeds into. The 7/8" Dowel Pin is made of durable plastic by Ladbrooke of England, makers of products that will last for years.
- Now a standard among many organic gardeners and farmers, soil blockers are an ingenious way to start seeds. Soil blockers compress the growing medium to form blocks that are placed in trays and hold their shape. Seeds are placed directly into the soil blocks. Once plants germinate, the soil blocks can then be placed directly into the soil.
- Soil blocks offer an excellent growing method. Soil blocking mix is compressed wet into the soil blocker, then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle. Soil blocking reduces the likelihood of plants becoming rootbound, as the air between the soil blocks air-prunes the roots.
- Ladbrooke soil blocking tools have been made in England for over 60 years.
