This genuine Ladbrooke "Maxi" soil blocker makes the largest soil block in the Ladbrooke line of tools, producing a single 4" x 4” x 4” soil block.
The Maxi soil blocker has a built-in a square indentation that is suitable for transplanting Mini 4 or Multi 12 blocks into. No additional inserts are required.
It is part of the unique Ladbrooke Micro 20/Mini 4/Maxi "nesting" system for starting seeds and cuttings or transplanting starts.
To make soil blocks, potting soil is compressed wet into the soil block mold and then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle. Soil blockers make a "pot-less" pot for starting seeds. With soil blocks, roots are air-pruned and transplant shock, stunting, slow-growth is greatly reduced.
Soil blocking offers an eco-friendly system that eliminates the need for using plastic seed starting trays, and buying, storing and sanitizing plastic pots.
Made in England, Ladbrooke is renowned for making the highest quality garden tools. All Ladbrooke soil blocking tools are made from zinc coated steel that will last for years.
These are utilitarian, hand-made gardening tools. Cosmetic blemishes and water bathing marks made during manufacturing are natural, and in no way alter the functionality or durability of the tools.
