Galvanised Steel Soil Block Press for 4 Blocks of 50mm (2in)

This galvanised steel seedling press is a piston tool that lets you easily create four 50mm (2in) blocks in one go, without using pots or buckets. This professional technique, accessible to amateur gardeners, is very useful when sowing or transplanting many seeds. This model features a notch that lets you hollow out the centre of the block by 6mm to place the seed. It enables later planting of species with small seeds. Weight: 0.8kg.

Appreciated for its ease of production and transplanting, a potted seedling can be started earlier in the season, with the seedling being "raised" in a tunnel, greenhouse, or conservatory. Producing one's own seedlings also helps reduce production costs by having a wide choice of varieties. Producing seedlings is one of the most economical and rewarding techniques. This professional technique is made possible by the manual seedling press. It creates cubes of special seedling soil that are pressed by the tool. Despite appearances, these small compressed soil cubes are sturdy, have good structure, and can be transplanted without difficulty. Place the seedlings on a tray or potting table. When the seedlings are strong enough, take the cube and plant it in the garden or in the vegetable patch. This technique avoids disturbing the young rootlets and limits the stress associated with transplantation.
