Soil Blockers are an ingenious and eco-friendly solution to germinating seeds. Soil Blockers create individual blocks of soil with indentations for each seed, eliminating pricking out and providing a high rate of germination and easy blooming. Made of robust zinc-plated steel construction, Soil Blockers are one of the most efficient gardening tools available! You can help reduce our global waste by using organic gardening tools such as Soil Blockers.
Look for the logo on the handles of the Mini 4 and Micro 20. The Master Grower is our full set that includes all the pieces for the well known "nesting" system of soil blocking. The Micro 20 has a new stronger, smoother design.
The 6-Pc “Master Grower” nesting set of soil blockers includes: Maxi, Mini 4, Micro 20, new snap in Cube Inserts, 7/8" Seed Pins, 1 Grow Tweezer (tongs). The Mini 4 comes with a set of four 5/8" seed pins, which must be inserted.
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.
