Soil Blockers are a fantastic tool for market growers and gardeners who want to eliminate the use of plastic in the growing process. Growing seedlings in soil blocks also allow their roots better access to oxygen and prevents them from being rootbound. Simply push the soil blocker into a wet soil mix and squeeze the handle to make soil blocks.
The Starter Kit is the perfect set to introduce any gardener to the benefits of soil blocking.
Available with Zinc finish, this set includes:
- 1 x Micro 20
- 1 x Mini 4 (with Seed Pins)
- 4 x Dowel Pins
- 4 x Cube Inserts
The Soil Blocker Micro 20 produces 20 x 2 cm (3/4 inch) soil blocks with indentations for small seeds. 2 cm (3/4 inch) soil blocks are ideal for seedlings that will be "potted up" into larger soil blocks so they can grow good sized root balls.
The Soil Blocker Mini 4 produces 4 x 5 cm (2 inch) soil blocks. It comes with Seed Pins that create indentations for small seeds. 5 cm (2 inch) soil blocks are versatile and can be used for seedlings that will directly transplanted as well as those that require "potting up" into larger soil blocks so they can grow good sized root balls. They can also accommodate soil blocks produced by the Micro 20 when fitted with Cube Inserts (sold separately).
*The pins in the Mini 4 are removable and can be interchanged with Cube Inserts or Dowel Pin Inserts. The Cube Inserts are used to "pot up" Micro 20 soil blocks. The pins in the Micro 20 are not removable.
