This is a video of Joël making 2″ soil blocks for transplanting the cabbages that were previously sprouted in 1/2 ” cubes. The small cubes fit into the square holes in the larger cubes. Neat, eh? Soil blocks are great for growing seedlings because the roots are air-pruned, and field planting is streamlined because there’s no fiddling with containers.

Pretty neat! Where did you buy the gadget you are using to make soil blocks?

Hi Michelle,
The soil block makers are from Johnny’s Selected Seeds in Maine: http://www.johnnyseeds.com.
