Blocking is the simple and easy way we have been starting seeds for the past 11 years in our commercial cut flower operation. We find it to be very cost effective and very well suited for the home gardener. The blocks take little space compared to other seed starting methods. There are no pots or trays to store or purchase each year. We find that the seedlings are healthier, grow quicker and in general hit the ground running and suffer no transplant shock.

The Ladbrooke Large Blocker Facts:
The Large Soil Blocker makes one set of four 2” blocks.
We use this size blocker for larger size seeds such as sunflowers, beans, morning glory, zucchini and the like.
The large soil blocker can be equipped with cube inserts that allow you to move a seedling growing in a 3/4” soil block into the larger soil block to continue its growth.
