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!
