Soil Block Maker, Small - Makes Twenty 3/4" Blocks

Soil blocking is a simple and easy way to start seeds in a home setting.  In the area of 12" x 26" you can start and support 240 soil blocked plants until they go to the garden. There are no pots or trays to store or purchase each year. We use trays without drainage holes so it can be done anywhere indoors. We find that the seedlings are healthier, grow quicker, and in general hit the ground running and suffer no transplant shock. * This blocker is transitioning to a black finish. During this change, you may receive either a silver or black soil blocker. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.

Here is what customers are saying about how soil blocking has changed their seed starting experience.
