Eliminate root shock when transplanting your seedlings by using a Soil Blocker - no more painstakingly pricking out your seedlings (risking damage to delicate root systems), and no more endless plastic pots. One of those must-haves for avid seed raisers!
The method of soil blocking essentially entails sowing your seeds directly into a pre-cut 'block' of soil, rather than using pots or trays. Not only does this mean you can cut down on plastic, but the process as a whole is much gentler on your seedlings. Instead of growing root bound in a traditional pot, the cube of soil allows your seedlings' roots to 'air prune'. This also reduces damage the roots of the plant when transplanted into the garden. With root shock out of the picture, gardeners report that plants started in soil blocks are healthier, stronger, and show more vigorous growth once transplanted.
The Maxi 1 is the largest of the Soil Blockers, creating a 10cm soil block, with a square indentation. This indentation is suitable for transplanting a Mini 4, creating extra space for larger plants.
