What's Growin' On

Sustainable Seeding!

 

We use “soil blocks” instead of plastic pots for our seeding. 

Some of the benefits are as follows:

  • Reduces plastic use.  The soil block is the container and soil in one, so there is no need for plastic pots.
  • Stronger root systems.  More oxygen is distributed to the roots since there is no container.  Also, roots are “air-pruned” once they reach the edge of the block, so they are ready to “take-off” at transplant.
  • Transplants establish more quickly.  Less disruption to the roots means less transplant shock.

 

This year we added another size, which makes 4 times as many blocks at once!
