Genuine Ladbrooke Mini 5 Soil Blocker makes slightly smaller soil blocks than it's cousin the Mini 4. Ladbrooke offers the core soil blocking tools that are used worldwide for making soil blocks for successfully staring seeds of all kinds. Soil blocks are fun and easy to make. Comes with instruction sheet on how to make soil blocks. Soil blocking provides a high rate of germination and are one of the most eco-friendly products available.
- This genuine Ladbrooke Mini 5 creates five blocks of soil for seed germination and transplanting that are each 1-1/2” x 1-1/2" x 1-1/2”. The Mini 5 produces five soil blocks at a time and comes with a packet of standard 3/8" seed pins, which must be inserted.
- These are utilitarian, hand-made gardening tools. The black EP coating offers superior corrosion resistance by creating a dense, impermeable barrier against moisture, oxygen, and soil chemicals, which also extends the lifespan of these garden tools.
- To make soil blocks, potting soil is compressed wet into the soil block mold and then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle. Soil blockers make a "pot-less" pot for starting seeds. With soil blocks, roots are air-pruned and transplant shock, stunting, slow-growth is greatly reduced.
- Soil blocking offers an eco-friendly system that eliminates the need for using plastic seed starting trays, and buying, storing and sanitizing plastic pots.
- Made in England, Ladbrooke is renowned for making the highest quality garden tools. All Ladbrooke soil blocking tools are made from robust steel that will last for years.
- Check for authenticity. Look for the Ladbrooke logo on the handle of the Mini 5.
