About This

• This genuine Ladbrooke "Mini 4" soil blocker is the most popular and versatile of the Ladbrooke soil blockers, and a recommended size to start soil blocking with. The hand-held soil block maker makes four 2" x 2’ x 2” soil blocks, each with a seed dimple pre-formed in the soil block.
• Look for the Ladbrooke logo is on the handle of the Mini 4!
• It is part of the unique Ladbrooke Micro 20/Mini 4/Maxi "nesting" system for starting seeds and transplanting starts. "Nesting refers to upsizing the soil block size from the Micro 20 to the Mini 4 soil blocks, or from the Mini 4 soil blocks to the Maxi soil blocker. The Mini 4 comes with a set of four 3/8" seed pins, which must be inserted.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
