Product Review
Soil Blockers are easy to use and made of robust zinc-plated steel construction. They provide a high rate of germination and easy blooming. Soil Blockers are one of the most efficient gardening tools available, inexpensive and maintenance free! Over 4% of the worlds oil production goes into creating plastic and a further 3% to manufacture it. You can help reduce our global waste by using organic gardening tools such as the Soil Blocker.
- The snap-in 3/4" Cubic Inserts, when fitted into the Ladbrooke Mini 4, Multi 12, and Multi 6 Soil Blockers, are used to make a square indentation in soil blocks to accommodate seedlings started in the Micro 20 soil blocker.
- The 3/4" Cubic Insert is made of durable plastic by Ladbrooke of England, makers of products that will last for years. Cubic Inserts are not recommended for the Mini 5 soil blocker, Multi 20, or Multi 35 that make smaller soil blocks.
- 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.
