Why I Switched to Soil Blocking (and Won’t Go Back)

Soil blocking has completely changed the way I start seeds and in this video, I’ll show you why.

If you’ve ever struggled with root-bound plants, or endless broken plastic trays, soil blocking might be what you’re looking for. I’ll walk you through what soil blocking is, why it works, and how to do it properly from start to finish.

We’ll cover:

* What soil blocking actually is
* Why it leads to stronger, healthier seedlings
* The right soil mix
* Step-by-step how to make perfect soil blocks
* How to sow seeds and care for them
* Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

This method is especially useful for flower farmers, market gardeners, and anyone starting seedlings.

If you’re thinking about switching to soil blocking—or just want to improve your propagation setup—this will give you everything you need to get started.
