Soil Blocking 101: Why we’re Raising our seedlings in soil blocks

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

We've been racing the calendar trying to get all of our plants started in time for Spring as well as building our homestead gardens from scratch and the one thing I didn't need was a broken bone to slow me down! In this video I'm going to show you the way we get seedlings started that's heaps of fun and is going to save you money in your greenhouse. And yes, I'll tell you how I broke my foot too! Want your own Soil Blocker? I'm not affiliated but here in Australia I bought my first (genuine) Soil Blocker through Gundaroo Tiller (http://www.allsun.com.au/) about 12 years ago and it's still going strong, otherwise search eBay or Amazon and you'll find some cheaper alternatives too. ---------- 00:00 Intro 00:27 The Soil Blocker 01:06 Plastic Free (mostly) 01:48 Gentle Watering 02:33 Air Pruning 03:31 No Transplant Shock 04:33 Tools Needed 06:40 Ingredients 09:21 Mixing 11:11 Consistency 12:46 Technique 14:30 Setting Seeds 16:33 Transplanting 17:02 How I Broke My Foot 19:13 Future Plans
