Soil blocking 101: learn to soil block with our peat-free recipe!

UPDATE JANUARY 13, 2024: HERE IS OUR UPDATED FAVORITE SOIL BLOCKING MIX!    • Seed starting soil mixes--Mycorrhizae vs. ...  
Have you been wanting to learn how to soil block for your home farm or market garden, but don't want to watch our full hour long class? No worries! We've summed it up in this quick video on how to soil block (fast!). Why do we soil block? Well, a few reasons! Not only does soil blocking result in healthier seedlings (no root circling means no weak rootbound plants, and stronger plants are more drought and pest resistant!), it also helps us save a lot of space and means we don't have to keep buying plastic trays that eventually inevitably break down and end up in the landfill!

Depending on the size you go with, you can also start lots of seeds like we do! Check out our other videos on size options for soil blockers and how we lay out our backyard greenhouse to start tons of seeds every year!
