Completes the nesting system. Air-pruned roots. No plastic pots, organic gardening. : Patio, Lawn & Garden Review: Perfect for Potting Up - 8 soil blocks fit in a standard 1020 nursery tray. This is a great tool for potting up seedlings that you want well established before moving outside. Be aware that this much soil gets a bit heavy and can overload flimsy 1020 trays. I've found that Bootstrap Farmer trays hold up best. Review: Soil Blocker for LIEE! - I have been starting seedlings indoors for a few years now, and I really dislike using seedling trays. They are cheap, break, and they take forever to clean and store. Not to mention they are plastic and not great for the environment. I wanted to try soil blocking to see if my starts really are healthier and if I could avoid the junky plastic seedling trays. YES! It is all true. I love soil blocking for so many reasons. If you are thinking about trying it, I would suggest starting with the 1.5" inch maker first. You will quickly want to get all of the larger and smaller sizes. I really love using the smaller blocks and nexting them in the next size up as needed. I have found it very helpful to use my fingers to press the soil into the crevises of the blocker and rinse the blocker between each block/set of blocks you are making! Soil blocking is very doable and fun. I use 1/2 seed starting mix, 1/2 nice potting soil, a scoop or worm castings, and water to make my soil blocks. You can totally do this and you will love it. ## Features - The original Ladbrooke Maxi makes one 4" soil block per press — built for large transplants that need room to develop before going into the ground. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, melons, winter squash. - Manufactured in England since the 1960s. Premium EP-coated steel resists corrosion, moisture, and soil chemicals. Built to last a lifetime of seed starting seasons. - Part of the Ladbrooke nesting system — built-in 2" indentation receives a Mini 4 block directly. No repotting, no root disturbance. One continuous system from germination to transplant. - Soil blocks eliminate plastic pots entirely. No pots to buy, clean, store or throw away. Roots air-prune naturally at the block edges — no circling, no crowding, virtually no transplant shock. - The Maxi is a specialist tool. Most vegetables and flowers do well in Mini 4 blocks from start to transplant. The Maxi earns its place when crops run out of room in a 2" block before the garden is ready. - Watch for roots showing at the base of your Mini 4 block — that's the signal to move up. Drop the seedling directly into the Maxi's built-in indentation and let it grow on. No adjustment period, no setback. - Authentic Ladbrooke — LADBROOKE SOIL BLOCKERS and MADE IN UK stamped on every tool. Not a copy, not a knockoff. The original since the 1960s. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FYATQ0Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #274,267 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #3,359 in Greenhouses & Plant Germination Equipment | | Brand | Ladbrooke | | Brand Name | Ladbrooke | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 87 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05061058960093 | | Item Highlight | Large transplant & tomato starter.
