- This set is for adding on to a Ladbrooke Mini 4 you already own. You will need both the Micro 20 and Cubic Inserts. The new stronger and smoother Ladbrooke Micro 20 creates twenty very small blocks of soil for seed germination and transplanting that are each 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4", each with a pre-formed dimple on top and used for smaller seeds. It is part of the unique Ladbrooke Micro 20/Mini 4/Maxi “nesting system" of making soil blocks.
- Check for authenticity. Ladbrooke proudly displays its logo stamped in the metal handle of the Micro 20!
- Ladbrooke "nesting system" allows upsizing the soil block size. Seedlings started in the Micro 20 can be transplanted into Mini 4, Multi 6 or Multi 12 soil blocks, when these tools are fitted with Cubic Inserts.
- Part of the unique Ladbrooke Micro 20/Mini 4/Maxi "nesting" system for starting seeds and transplanting starts, the Micro 20 is best for starting small seeds, and requires using very fine soil blocking mix. A chunky soil blocking will not fit in the tiny cells of the MICRO 20.
- Now a standard among many organic gardeners and farmers, soil blockers are an ingenious way to start seeds. Soil blockers compress the wet growing medium to form blocks that are pressed into a tray with an ejection handle. 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 a perfect way to start seeds; they promote healthy root growth and eliminate root bounding that occurs in plastic pots. Soil blocks offer an excellent growing method and provide a high rate of seed germination. Soil blocking reduces the likelihood of plants becoming rootbound, as the air between the soil blocks air-prunes the roots.
- Soil blocking offers an eco-friendly system that eliminates the need for using plastic seed starting trays, and buying, storing and sanitizing plastic pots. Soil blockers make a "pot-less" pot, and can be used for all seeds, and are great to use for cuttings as well.
- These are utilitarian, durable, hand-made gardening tools made with love from Ladbrooke, a family-owned business. Cosmetic blemishes and water bathing marks made during manufacturing are natural, and in no way alter the functionality of the tools.
- Perfect gift for any serious gardener. Organic gardeners love these!
