Making soil blocks using the soil cube tool - seed starting!

how to water plant with that kind of method

???

Hey firebug,

That is great! Good luck with the pepper plants! I saw that you like hotsauce so I am sure that they will be enjoyed. One tip with pepper plants... they are perennials. Meaning that, if you bring them in during the winter months, if you have them in containers, they will continue to grow, year after year, into pepper producing bushes!

All the best,

Clayton

i made my own using wood screws, and small tupperware. check it out! its going in as a vid response to this one, or under the name: "poor mans soil cube maker"

pretty cool,saw this same one on a vermicompost site, are they really compressed enough to hold together when watered thoroughly? enjoyed the flute, do you know the artist.i'm a flute-maker (and gardener!)

Hey tribalwind,

yes, they hold up very well... I have some right now that have been watered every day since mid January and they are still fine! The music... i dont know.. from a podcast site for music to use creative commons... Flutes and gardening go well together!

All the best.

Hi Kryptiea,

That is a great question... Of course there are other tools out there... I can't tell you

how hard it is for me to try and pick "the best" hand trowel! Our tool is family made, here in the USA, guaranteed for life, (we will replace no questions asked) makes the same soil cubes as other tools, is a little easier to handle because it is two at a time, comes with tons of support, not just with the tool but for gardening as well, and finally, we are less expensive than all the others!

Not to be knocking on you buy why should we buy this one when there are existing products that do the same thing in greater quantity for about the same price

@kryptiea or you could make your own for about two bucks. see my vid.

I love the idea of making this kind of soil blocker, but would have to have more details on how and what kind of parts to use. Could you please show this?

Thank you for your video.

If you water them with a spray bottle or a hose attachment with a fine mist they hold up fine... They only need to stay moist, not soaked. It only takes a week or two for the roots to become established and they grow throughout the cube giving it structure until it goes out to the garden beds.

Thanks for asking!
