Seed Blocking

Here it is February 27, 2013 and we have our soil all mixed up from our secret recipe (it's not really a secret) ready to be stamped into soil blocks. Soil blocks you may ask? It's this great tool that compresses the soil into a 2"x2" block with a little divot for your seed. No more plastic trays having to be replaced every year. No more little roots being ripped when you are ready for planting. Simple, cost effective, and just plain old smarter.
