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 Mini 5 is ideal for small and quick germinating seeds, or for mid-summer starts. It creates five x 3.8cm cubes of soil.

The included Seed Pins create indentations into the soil block for sowing your seeds directly into; you can also purchase Dowel Pins which create indentations suitable for cuttings or larger seeds. 

Please note: The Mini 5 is not suitable for use with Cube Inserts. Seed Pins are included with this product, but Dowel Pins need to be purchased separately if required.
