Review: The Ladbrooke Mini 5 soil block maker arrived in the superior condition I expected. It’s solid, well-made, and clearly built to last. The craftsmanship is excellent, and it feels sturdy and precise in the hand—no flimsy parts or rough edges. This is exactly what I wanted for starting seeds, and the quality matches Ladbrooke’s reputation. Very pleased with the purchase.
Review: I am a soil blocking newbie. After seeing a few people recommend the Ladbrooke brand soil blockers, I decided to make the investment. I was not disappointed! My first round has been a success (minus my cat attempting to walk across them 🫠). I opted to use a high quality organic potting soil that I sifted through 1/4” hardware cloth to remove any larger chunks. It was rather easy. I have no doubt this will last a lifetime with proper care and cleaning. I’m excited to use less plastic as well as have healthier more robust transplants! Note regarding the seller: there was a one off issue when I ordered and my package didn’t ship on time. After requesting a refund from desertcart, I was looking at other options for ordering. Well a week later a package arrived on my doorstep. To my disbelief it was this soil blocker. Enclosed was a handwritten thank you note from the owner apologizing for the misstep and telling me to keep the soil blocker on them. Wow, just wow! It is rare you find this level of customer service yet alone someone owning up to human error and making it right. I’ll absolutely order from them again! Thank you!

## Features

- Look for the Ladbrooke logo on the handle of the Mini 5.
- This genuine Ladbrooke Mini 5 creates five blocks of soil for seed germination and transplanting that are each 1-1/2” x 1-1/2" x 1-1/2”. The Mini 5 produces five soil blocks at a time and comes with a packet of five standard 3/8" seed pins, which must be inserted
- To make soil blocks, potting soil is compressed wet into the soil block mold and then discharged into a tray with the ejection handle. Soil blockers make a "pot-less" pot for starting seeds. With soil blocks, roots are air-pruned and transplant shock, stunting, slow-growth is greatly reduced
- Soil blocking offers an eco-friendly system that eliminates the need for using plastic seed starting trays, and buying, storing and sanitizing plastic pots
- Made in England, Ladbrooke is renowned for making the highest quality garden tools. All Ladbrooke soil blocking tools are made from zinc coated steel that will last for years
- 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 or durability of the tools

*by C***Y on 23 March 2024*

I’ve done over 2,000 blocks (that’s only 20 1020 trays full) and am happy with it. I get a lot more blocks in a tray than with the 2” blocker I’ve had for years. I use this one almost exclusively- I only use 2” for things that are going to stay I blocks a long time. Otherwise this fits more seedlings per tray (so onto my limited heat mat space or limited grow lights) and uses less blocking mix per plant. Had it over a year, no sign of rust or deterioration.
