This genuine Ladbrooke Mini 5 creates five blocks of soil for seed germination and transplanting that are each 1-1/2” x 1-1/2" x 1-1/2”. The Mini 5 produces five soil blocks at a time and comes with a packet of five standard 3/8" seed pins, which must be inserted.
Look for the Ladbrooke logo on the handle of the Mini 5.
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.
