Authentic Ladbrooke Soil Block Maker Micro 20 Hand Held, Made in England

The Micro 20 creates twenty blocks of soil for seed germination and transplanting that are each 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4", each with a pre-formed dimple on top and used for smaller seeds. It is part of the unique Ladbrooke Micro 20/Mini 4/Maxi “nesting system" of making soil blocks., Ladbrooke proudly displays its logo stamped in the metal handle of the Micro 20!, Ladbrooke "nesting system" allows upsizing the soil block size. Seedlings started in the Micro 20 can be transplanted into Mini 4, Multi 6 or Multi 12 soil blocks, when these tools are fitted with Cubic Inserts., Now a standard among many organic gardeners and farmers, soil blockers are an ingenious way to start seeds. Soil blockers compress the growing medium to form blocks that are placed in trays and hold their shape. Seeds are placed directly into the soil blocks. Once plants germinate, the soil blocks can then be placed directly into the soil., The Micro 20 soil blocker makes very small 3/4" soil blocks for small seeds and requires using a fine soil blocking mix without rocks and twigs. Soil blocking mix is compressed wet into the soil blocker, then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle., Soil blocks offer a perfect way to start seeds; they promote healthy root growth and eliminate root bounding that occurs in plastic pots. Easy to use and a great gift for gardeners. Soil blocks offer an excellent growing method and provide a high rate of seed germination. Soil blocking reduces the likelihood of plants becoming rootbound, as the air between the soil blocks air-prunes the roots., Soil blocking offers an eco-friendly system that eliminates the need for using plastic seed starting trays, and buying, storing and sanitizing plastic pots. Soil blockers make a "pot-less" pot, and can be used for all seeds, and are great to use for cuttings as well.
