Soil blocks are, well, blocks of soil. Small, compressed blocks of soil in which seeds are started to be more precise. With soil blocks, no pots are used. A tool, appropriately called a Soil Block Maker, is used to make the soil block.
I liked the idea of making soil blocks to start seeds the minute I first heard of them. No pots meant I didn’t have to make newspaper pots, or clean plastic pots. And while I don’t sell seedlings, for those that do, this is both economical and good for the environment.
Using the soil block maker, it was relatively easy to quickly form these blocks of soil ready for planting.
The seedlings seem to love their home!
Enjoyed the project?
