Not only does this mean you can cut down on plastic, but the process as a whole is much gentler on your seedlings. Instead of growing root bound in a traditional pot, the cube of soil allows your seedlings' roots to 'air prune'. This also reduces damage the roots of the plant when transplanted into the garden. With root shock out of the picture, gardeners report that plants started in soil blocks are healthier, stronger, and show more vigorous growth once transplanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Micro 20 Soil Blocker is the ultimate hand-held seedling starting block, creating \u003cstrong\u003etwenty x 2cm cubes\u003c\/strong\u003e of soil at a time.
