Built with a durable EP coated steel body and a plastic waffle insert, it forms twenty uniform blocks that measure 3\/4 inch on each side. Each block features a tiny top indentation to guide seed placement, helping you start a wide range of seeds with consistency and ease. Made in England, this tool blends practical engineering with a craftsperson’s touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this blocker stand out is its modular, nesting design. The Micro 20 is part of a scalable system that can be upsized by swapping inserts to create Mini 4, Multi 6, or Multi 12 blocks. This means you can begin with small blocks and gradually transition to larger blocks as your seedlings grow, using the same core system without buying a new tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign and durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwenty 3\/4 inch blocks per press, each with a pre formed top dimple for seed placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEP coated steel offers corrosion resistance and a long tool life in damp conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, durable construction designed for regular greenhouse or home use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmbossed Ladbrooke logo on the handle adds a touch of craftsmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSeed starting workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrepare a fine, rock-free soil blocking mix and moisten before packing into the blocker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompress the mix to form twenty blocks, then discharge into a tray using the ejection mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace seeds into each top dimple and maintain consistent moisture for steady germination\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransplant seedlings into larger blocks or directly into soil as roots develop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEco friendly and practical\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing soil blocks supports a pot-less, plastic-free starting method, reducing waste and storage needs.
