Seeds are miraculous. They lie dormant…then under the right conditions (playing “You’re the Inspiration” by Chicago helps) they emerge from their growing medium.
The above pic is one of my trays of soil-blocked pumpkin seeds. I also have trays outside that are filled with beets, zinnias, basil, and carrots.
I wish more people grew gardens, but I’ll save those musings for another post…
Last week I ordered a soil blocker that makes 20 little blocks of soil that measure 3/4″ x 3/4″.
Soil blocks are compacted squares of a special soil blend. They allow you to plant seedlings without using a plastic container. Pretty amazing!
Once the seeds sprout they “air prune” and are much easier to transplant since they aren’t root bound.
This is a great way to start your seedlings.
