- The Genuine Ladbrooke Essentials 5-pc soil blocking set provides the starting blocks of the Ladbrooke "nesting system" of soil blocking tools. This Essentials set includes: Ladbrooke Mini 4, Micro 20, Cubic Inserts, 7/8" Seed Pins, and Grow Tweezer. The Mini 4 comes with a set of four 3/8" seed pins, which must be inserted. The Ladbrooke 5-Pc “Essentials” is our most popular set and provides the starting blocks of the well-known "nesting system" of soil blocking tools.
- Note: The Micro 20 has a new stronger, smoother design. Ladbrooke proudly displays its logo on the handle of the Mini 4 and Micro 20!
- Soil blockers are easy to use and offer an excellent growing medium for young starts. Potting soil is compressed wet into the soil block mold and then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle. Soil blockers create a "pot-less" pot, and can be used for all seeds, and are great to use for cuttings as well. With soil blocks, roots are air-pruned, helping reduce transplant shock, stunting, and slow-growth after transplanting.
- Ladbrooke soil blockers are environmentally sustainable products that reduce the use of plastic pots for starting seeds. Ladbrooke soil blockers eliminate the need for using plastic seed starting trays, and buying, storing and sanitizing plastic pots.
- These are utilitarian, hand-made gardening tools made with love from Ladbrooke, a family-owned business. Cosmetic blemishes and water bathing marks made during manufacturing are natural, and in no way alter the functionality of the tools.
- Ladbrooke quality is durable and will last for many years!
