#104: Easy Indoor Seed Starting with Soil Blocking: The Journey
In this episode, I'm walking down memory lane of how I came to be such an avid soil blocker seed starter. I'm sharing how I learned about this method that the Dutch and English have used for decades to start seeds and the journey of tweaking it into a tabletop seed starting method.
Mentions in this episode:
The book The Flower Farmer by Lynn Byczynski
The book The New Organic Grower by Eliot Coleman
Soil blocking and seed starting equipment (https://thegardenersworkshop.com/product-category/seed-starting-2/)
Why I use soil blocking:
- Super easy to use inside of a home
- No transplant shock
- High rate of germination
- Grow a lot of transplants in a small space
- Transplants grow fast Plant and handle earlier
- No thinning or potting up
- Once equipped with the tools just add blocking mix and seeds each season.
The discovery and pursuit of soil blocking allowed me to launch my cut-flower farm. Sharing this revolutionary in-home easy seed starting method with soil blocking surely changed the course of my life.
Thanks for letting me walk down memory lane! ---
