What will I learn in the Workshop?

You'll learn the many advantages of using soil blocks to start seedlings at home or on the farm. You just press out blocks of soil to start your seedlings, rather than using plastic cells/inserts. You'll learn...

• How to make your own blocking mix to create firm and fertile blocks
• The techniques tricks and tools used to press out beautifully uniform blocks
• Types of trays and how to make them or buy plastic trays
• Best practices for starting a wide variety of seeds - dibble/hole size, covering, watering, indoor heating/lighting, cold frame/greenhouse management, and timing
• Using transplants to succession plants for a more continual harvest - mastering the planning, germination, and timing for planting. 
• Using soil blocks to start veggie gardens, annual/perennial/ flowers, cut flower gardens, pollinator gardens, vertical gardens, and even market gardens. 
• Learn how you can use them in a no-till garden system.
• How to take green cuttings of herbs and perennial flowers - using soil blocks and rooting hormone to propagate new plants. 

This class includes the recordings as well as a typed set of notes, links to products, and recommendations to extend your learning beyond the class.
