Gardening Tools

Using soil blockers to start seeds offers several benefits that make them an excellent choice for gardeners:

  1. Root Health: Soil blockers prevent root circling, often in traditional pots or trays. When plants are in soil blocks, their roots naturally air prune—this means they stop growing when exposed to air, leading to healthier, more robust root systems.
  2. Space Efficiency: Soil blockers allow you to fit more seedlings into a smaller space than individual pots or trays. This is perfect if you’re working in a limited gardening area.
  3. Transplant Shock Reduction: Since there’s no container involved, you can transplant seedlings directly into the ground without disturbing their roots. This leads to less stress on the plants, ensuring they establish quickly and grow better.
  4. Eco-Friendly: Using soil blockers eliminates the need for plastic pots or trays, reducing waste and making it a more sustainable choice for environmentally conscious gardeners.
  5. Customizable Size: Soil blockers come in various sizes, letting you start seeds in blocks suited to your plants’ specific needs. Smaller blocks are great for initial germination, while larger ones can be used for growing bigger seedlings.

Overall, soil blockers create a favorable environment for seeds to thrive while being gentle on the planet.
