## Overview

The Ladbrooke Micro 20 Soil Block Maker crafts twenty precise 3/4" soil blocks per use, designed specifically for very small seeds and fine soil mixes.

## Description

Soil Blockers are an innovative and simple solution to seed sowing. The Soil Blocker creates individual blocks of soil with indentations for each seed, eliminating pricking out and providing a high rate of germination and easy blooming. Made of robust zinc-plated steel construction, Soil Blockers are one of the most efficient gardening tools available, inexpensive and maintenance free! You can help reduce our global waste by using organic gardening tools such as the Soil Blocker. Soil blockers are fun and easy to use, offer an excellent growing medium, and are eco-friendly. Ladbrooke, of England, are makers of the highest quality products! These are utilitarian, hand-made gardening tools. Cosmetic blemishes and water bathing marks made during manufacturing are natural, and in no way alter the functionality of the tool.

Review: It is tiny and way too expensive for what you get.
Review: I have had absolutely no problematic issue with this blocker. It has made seed starting in volume very easy, and very affordable with the use of far less seed starting mix. Perfect size blocks for seeds such as lettuce, cole crops, zinnias, marigolds, and especially petunias. Also great for tomatoes and peppers though they benefit from being potted up or planted out much earlier than crops with smaller seeds. This blocker is excellently made and will pay for itself in soil savings. Durable, easy to use, convenient.

It also requires using a VERY FINE SOIL BLOCKING MIX. The Micro 20 makes twenty very small soil blocks that are 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4". PLEASE VISUALIZE THIS SIZE. Because of it’s small size, the Micro 20 is the most challenging of the Ladbrooke soil blockers.
- The Micro 20 is used successfully by hundreds of gardeners worldwide, and is well loved by many many users. Potting soil is compressed wet into the soil block mold and then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle.

With soil blocks, roots are air-pruned and transplant shock, stunting, slow-growth is greatly reduced. The Micro 20 is made of metal and plastic.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: the handle on my Ladbrooke micro 20 soil block maker keep popping loose from the plastic base. Anyone had to deal with this issue?**
A: I've only used mine twice, but nothing has gone wrong yet.

**Q: What size blocks does this make?**
A: The Micro 20 makes twenty 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4" soil blocks.

**Q: The handle pops out when making blocks. I use a fine soil blocking mix. The thin metal bends easily. Anyone have a fix for the handle issue?**
A: two part epoxy. make sure the plastic is clean and dry, mix up the epoxy and reinsert the handle arm making sure to press all the way into the groove.

**Q: I accidentally bought the micro tool. Do i need to have the bigger soil block to plug into or can i just plug in ground?**
A: The seedlings would be very tiny using the micro, the next size up (mini) is better for plugging directly in ground if you don’t want to graduate each size up to the 4” before transplant to ground.
