Here is a quick and simple way to make Soil Blocks for starting your seeds in the spring.
Any plastic bottle should work, just be sure that it's clean and has no chemical residue that might hurt your young plants. None of the measurements are critical, just use whatever you have on hand.

Or simply do as I have done; Cut a toilet paper roll in half then pack with soil, plant seed. Place around 15 or so in an ice cream bucket and fill with half an inch of water each day. When seeds start to sprout simply push the growing seed into your pot or grow bag. Works every time.

@@thatsnotabadidea6207 Obviously paper towel rolls are the same just longer, I save at least one roll from our foil which is smaller in diameter as a pusher.

I have seen a lot of talk of soil blocks and wanted to try it out but they are so expensive. Thank you for providing an easy diy on creating a soil block maker. I imagine watering can break the block apart if the soil consistency isn’t ideal. Would you mind sharing your soil mix recipe please?
@thatsnotabadidea6207
@thatsnotabadidea6207 3 года назад
I don't really have a soil recipe. I just use potting soil. However the newspaper keeps it all together. And can just be planted in the ground.

I like it, but it's more of a paper pot loader at this point. Tweek the moisture in the soil and it I'm sure it would work fine.

True. Maybe a hybrid? You can just drop the paper pot right in the ground. Good catch though. 👍

Isn't the benefit of soil blocking to allow roots to die off as they reach oxygen to create stronger root ball.. meaning why wrap in newspaper?

@icarusswings
@icarusswings 3 года назад
Nice execution but are these blocks permanent? So, would the plants need translplanting to another bigger block or are they permanent in there up to the point of moving them in your garden?
@thatsnotabadidea6207
@thatsnotabadidea6207 3 года назад
Depends on the plant, but for the most part, we just plant them as is, the newspaper dissolves away and the roots can push through. Or you could take the newspaper off to transplant.

@thatsnotabadidea6207

I would punch a small hole or 2 in the bottom so water can't just collect at the bottom.

@solenmi8574 2 года назад
For small seeds do you sow 1 seed per pod? I was holding them between my fingers and at times 2 to 3 seeds ended up in 1 pod. 😬 I left them since i could not see them and covered with soil. About 80% of what I planted has germinated but I am too new at this to tell if 1 or 2 seeds (per pod) germinated. In the case it was the 2 is it OK to leave as? ...lear.ning as I go. 🌱 Any suggestions / tips are much appreciated
@nicholerichardson5336
@nicholerichardson5336 Год назад
Most ppl put 2-3 seeds in a block and once they germinate and grow for a few weeks they choose the strongest one and cut it pull the others out. Other wise they compete and none will be healthy and strong.

Did the end just stay folded after putting the soil in the paper?

@thatsnotabadidea6207 4 года назад
Yes, for the most part. And once you set them down the weight seems to hold it together.

Why not just make " meatball" sized blocks by hand and dimple them with your pinky? No materials but you and soil. Make them small enough to fit inside paper toilet roll holders cut to 1-2".

Yeah but so much work. Just buy a soil blocker from someone like Johnny's seeds, made out of metal and will last a lifetime!
